The Minot State UniversityTheatre presents a main stage pro-duction, “Bus Stop,” Feb 19-23 at7:30 p.m.

The William Inge play, writtenin 1955, deals with charactersstuck by a snow storm in a smallbus stop in rural Kansas. Ali Smithis the director.

“I like to challenge the actorswith a more modern/period pieceas far as 1955 goes, so they under-stand the world of the play andthey become educated in that timeperiod,” Smith said. “It is soensemble-based and I felt that thecast could learn how to collaboratetogether; become a true group.”

Eight characters comprise “BusStop.”

Krys Zorbaugh plays Grace,the bus stop owner.

“Grace is supposed to be in hermid-thirties. She’s married, but her

husband separated from her andshe’s so lonely,” Zorbaugh said.

“We have Elma, Grace’s assis-tant, played by Amanda Miller-Thomas,” Smith said. “Elma worksfor her in the diner. Elma’s about17; very naïve, cute little girl.”

Emily Taylor plays Cherie, abus passenger.

“Cherie was originally playedby Marilyn Monroe in the movieand she’s a sweet little ditsywoman who’s coming into anunderstanding of what love is,emotional attachment and trust,Smith said.”

Have you ever wanted to get a patent oneither your own invention or even shareone with some one else? After all, they saygreat minds think alike.

Mikhail Bobylev has earned one, the firstMinot State University instructor to do so.The associate professor of chemistry, whohas taught here for 10 years, also has manypatents in his native Russia and one inFinland.

This particular project started withresearch on new anti-fungal compounds.Combining elements or simpler com-pounds into a more complex substance is along and expensive process. His newestpatent is for a method that speeds up thetime of the synthesis of new agrochemicalsand pharmaceuticals from several hours tominutes, until now it is almost instanta-neous.

Bobylev started designing newmedicines against fungal diseases inhumans and agriculture. The instructorexplained that fungal compounds causemuch harm to people and plant life, like thepotato famine that devastated Ireland in the1840s. Currently, soybean rust is emerging

Student Success Seminar: ‘How To Read a Textbook’By Mara HintzComm 281

Lesley Magnus, associate communica-tion disorders professor, presented a semi-nar on how to effectively use a textbook inOld Main Feb. 6.

“Teachers don’t just pick textbooks ran-domly,” Magnus said. “We do have a pur-pose for the textbooks that we pick. Theyhighlight the topics the best they possiblycan.”

Magnus recommends allowing twohours of strategic study for every hourspent in class. Graduate students need threehours. Magnus has a plan that has workedfor her through all her degrees to her Ph. D.,

and she is passing that method on to stu-dents.

“Textbooks aren’t the end-all, be-all,”Magnus said. “You still need to have theclass notes. If you could just read the text-book and then take the exam, you shouldn’tbe able to get 100 percent, because text-books supplement class lectures and classlectures supplement textbooks.”

How does this method work? To start,look at the table of contents for the firstchapter. How many pages are there? Whatare the topics and keywords? Highlightthem. Type the table of contents into a doc-ument to start a rough draft for the outlineof the notes.

Notice the format of the chapter. Arethere different headers or font sizes?Include these phrases in the outline. Noteany study questions. Add any bolded textfrom the textbook to the outline. Addimportant names, such as theorists orresearchers.

Now read the chapter with highlighter inhand. What are the new concepts?Highlight them. Is there anything you haveto read twice to understand? Highlight thattoo. Remember the concepts, people anddefinitions from the outline? Look for infor-mation to explain these further and high-light them.

After reading the chapter, add to the out-

lined notes with defi-nitions and high-lighted material.Then read over thenotes. Do they make sense?Are there any points left out? Add whatev-er is needed to make the outline complete.

Now comes strategic studying. Can youanswer the study questions? Makeacronyms for lists and definitions to makememorizing easier. Use memory tricks. Forexample, to remember the difference inposition of the vocal folds, Magnus saidadducted means the folds come together, sothink of adding.

Agency’s website, commercialtobacco is grown with phosphatefertilizers that have radium inthem.

The radium breaks down intolead-210 and polonium-210, bothof which have a measurable levelof radioactivity. Eventually, thesoil becomes saturated with thisradioactive material and thetobacco plants draw it up andaccumulate it as they grow.

The page said that while theradioactivity of a single tobaccoleaf used in a cigarette is negligi-ble, the radioactive particles

become lodged in smokers’ lungsand can give off large amounts ofradiation. Also, the radioactiveparticles stick to the tar producedby the smoke. Filters on cigarettesdo little to protect against theradioactive particles.

Of course, tobacco always hadsome degree of carcinogenic activ-ity even before the use of phos-phate fertilizers, and was knowneven as far back as the 1800s tocause cancer. According to pages16 and 17 of the 1969 book,“Tobacco and Your Health: TheSmoking Controversy,” by Harold

S. Diehl, M.D., in “Du CancerBuccal ches les Fumeurs” in the“Montpelier Medical Journal”from June and July of the year1859, Bouisson talked of differentcases of oral cancers caused bytobacco use.

So while tobacco use is nodoubt harmful and carcinogenicon its own, it is perhaps mademore harmful than it would benaturally by the use of radioactivematerials that contaminate thetobacco in the growing process.

Since it would be naïve andunrealistic to think everyone on

Earth is going to quit smoking,maybe the cancer rates of smokerswould drop if the use of radioac-tive fertilizers were discontinuedor if smokers chose to grow andcure their own tobacco in theirgardens at home or switched toherbal cigarettes bought in smokeshops.

There are also brands of organ-ic and natural tobacco like“American Spirit,” but it's hard totell if those brands are still grownwith phosphate fertilizer contain-ing radioactive particles or not.

On MoviesʻHansel and Gretel: Witch Huntersʼ

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

We all heard this tale before,right? Two kids in the woods anda witch in a candy house. This ver-sion has a bit of a dark twist. Thefilm “Hansel and Gretel: WitchHunters” stars Jeremy Renner,Gemma Arterton, Pihla Viitala,Thomas Mann, and FamkeJanssen. Directed by TommyWirkola, it is rated “R” for strongviolence, gore, nudity and stronglanguage.

Our story begins with youngHansel and Gretel left in the

woods to fend for themselves.They come across a house madeout of candy and, well, you knowthe rest of the tale. After killing thewitch, the two begin their lives aswitch hunters.

Years later, Hansel (Renner)and Gretel (Arterton) go to a smallGerman town to find a group ofkidnapped children taken by amysterious witch named Muriel(Janssen). In the process of theirwitch hunt, they realize this is noordinary witch. Allied with Ben(Mann), an obsessive fan andMina (Viitala), a woman wrong-fully accused of being a witch,they do everything they can todestroy this ancient evil, one witchat a time.

Truthfully, I did not thinkmuch of this film when I first sawthe trailer at theaters. In the end, afriend of mine who wanted to seeit asked me to come. The acting Ihad no problem with, and Ithought that the cast was well cho-sen. Once again, Renner impressesme and his co-star, Arterton, alsodoes an impressive job as his sis-ter. Some people might complainthat the story and script are weakin contrast to violence and gore.

It does have its violentmoments and, in many ways, thisfilm is a dark humor story. Thisdid not bother me. However, somepeople might be sensitive on thetopic. The 3D in the film was insome ways enjoyable. It seems

that this movie was meant to be in3D, but they just made it first andthen slapped the 3D on later. Theywere times during the 3D when itseemed that the only thing thatcame at my face was merely thelandscape.

There were multiple times thatthe objects did come at me when Iwore the 3D glasses. This issue,the debate on if 3D is good or not,I leave to the viewer.

The effects that I saw in themovie were okay in my opinion,some new, some not so new. I didlike the different kinds of weaponsand gadgets Hansel and Gretelused throughout the story. Ithought whoever made the propsfor the movie did a pretty good

job on that section of the film.After seeing the movie, I think

it was worth the watch. Despitethe week script, I enjoyed theaction and the cast. The film mak-ers didn't mean for it to be takenseriously, but for us to just to sitback and relax with it. However, ifyou go to see it expecting an A-listscript, you might want to look fora different movie.

I should also mention that hor-ror fans who enjoy the classic “TheEvil Dead” and its sequels mightenjoy it, as it has a mixture of hor-ror and dark comedy.

Overall, I rate “Hansel andGretel: Witch Hunters” 3 out of 5Beavers.

In this particular column, Iwish to bring up my personalposition within music and whythis “music” thing is so specialanyways. In doing so, I’ll firstestablish a few vague conceptsthat will later tie into what musicis to me and how I go about mydealings with staying atop thebusy culture of music.

If we were to trade shoes hereand I was to pick up a music col-umn that you wrote, I wouldprobably be lying to myself if Ididn’t admit to entering the read-ing of your column with a certainamount of skepticism.

Already, I don’t think skepti-

cism is the right word. When itcomes to music, every person canexperience and take in music in anentirely unique way. One songmight speak volumes to one per-son while seeming completelymeaningless to another. This sub-jectivity breeds a sort of intraper-sonal exclusiveness where songs,artists and/or whole genres canhave a sense of belonging to some-one.

So basically, each person has acertain set of musical elementsthey find pleasing and, further-more, a certain type of music thatthey would probably consider tobe of “their own” style. This is justone specific aspect of music I’mtrying to identify here in this col-umn. It is the sort of subliminalentitlement each person hasinvested into music that I thinkhelps make music what it is.

So how does that play intohelping along music exactly? Toanswer that, let’s turn to gorillas.A mother gorilla nurtures heryoung, adorable baby gorilla andsees to it that no harm comes tothe innocent youngling. Not onlythat, but she’d also see to it otheranimals around the jungle knowthat fact outright. Ok, you’re right;I’m no primate specialist. We’lljust stick with music from here onout.

Let’s say you happen to enjoy acertain song and someone talksnegatively about it. You mightthen almost feel offended, indi-rectly, through the song.Conversely, if someone was tospeak highly of it, there’d then bea mutual excitement that comesabout in finding that they, too,appreciate the song. You mighteven get a feeling that you never,

never, never, never had before.This sort of community that

evolves through music is whatcreates and maintains genres. Fansforming a strong, supportivegroup around musicians fosterfavorable conditions for music tobe made. Musicians creating themusic within these climates pushthemselves and each other theextra mile so that ultimately musicis shared and progresses all themore.

It is this type of network thatmusic functions under. The com-munity of one another by meansof the medium of music is a splen-did thing. It’s what brings peopleto consider themselves fans of acertain artist, e.g., Justin Bieber’s“Beliebers” or Nicki Minaj’s“Barbz,” or to even apply thesame labeling process in genre-specific means, e.g., indie hipsters

or metal heads. That brings me tothe position I strive to be amongstin music.

Rather than trying to fight myway to the top of the hill by mas-tering everything about every sortof song, artist and genre, I try tofind a balanced center. By stand-ing at a crossroads of multiplegenres through the means offriends and even artists them-selves, I generally aim to stay at aposition where I can intake certainactivity from any one genre andcontinue to share it about.

So when it comes down torevealing my “big secret” onknowing so much about music, itreally comes from knowing peo-ple who hold that knowledgeabout different types of music. Forexample, I might not have [blank]artist’s entire works locked away

by Jordan CrawfordStaff Writer

There are many different cul-tures out there with different andsometimes strange traditions andcustoms. One that I recentlylearned of, though, is without adoubt one of the most unique. Inthe center of the IndochinaPeninsula, just to the west ofVietnam, lays the country ofCambodia or the Kingdom ofCambodia. In Cambodia, a groupof people known as the Kreunghave this tradition of building"love huts." Now I know a hun-dred dirty thoughts just ranthrough your heads and theyshould, but let me clear this upnow: This has nothing to do withprostitution or any sort of brothel.Now that I've gotten that out ofthe way, let’s explain what the

Burn Before ReadingThe love hut

"love huts" actually are.Around the age of 15 (not the

age of majority in the country)parents will build these littledetached huts near their mainhouse for their daughters. Thehuts are basically private bed-rooms for girls to "talk" and enter-tain boys from the community. Ina way, it’s kind of like a speed datebecause the huts aren't just usedfor the teens to have sex, but theyactually do talk.

What generally happensthroughout the day is this. Thepeople go about their daily choresand the kids keep their distanceduring this time. Once night falls,however, things change. The kidswill gather around the fire andplay whatever sort of game thosekids play. It’s about an hour afterthat when things start to heat up.Eventually, the girls will go to

their huts and wait for whomevertheir boyfriend is or whomeverthey have been flirting with to jointhem.

For a few moments they talkand then they may or may nothave sex. See, the talking aspect ofthis meeting is very important,because it’s where the girl decideswhether or not the boy is nice. Ifhe is and she likes him, then theywill have sex or maybe just sleeptogether. If he's not nice, is beingrude or offensive, the girl will tellhim to leave and – guess what?The boy leaves! (Some of you guysshould really listen when womensay “No,” because it means no.)

During the whole time I'mwatching this, the fact that theseyoung girls are having sex withmultiple young guys didn't fazeme. The two things that did werethe morals of the people and their

innocence. See the people thereare raised to respect each other ingeneral and the men to value thewomen and treat them withrespect. That's why, when the girlssay no, the boys just leave andthat's that.

In western civilization, howev-er, that's not always the case, andunfortunately, that’s where rapecomes in. Which was interestingbecause, when the girls wereasked about ever being raped,they had no idea what the wordmeant and didn't understand whysomeone would force another tohave sex with them. I was amazedby their innocence and how theyliterally laughed at the thought ofit. It’s just one of many differencesin the societies of the world.

And why would parents go sofar as to build a hut for theirdaughters to have sex in? Well,

what one man said was, after along day of work, he and his wifewant to get some rest and teensare loud and like to "talk" loud. Sothey build the huts so that the kidsand parents can have their owntime and not disturb each other.The parents aren't dumb either;they know what’s going on in thehuts because they did it, too, whenthey were young.

From a psychological stand-point, there are benefits to thesehuts. For example, it gives thekids/teens a sense of privacy; itallows the girls to explore theirsexuality and gives them controlover the situation, allowing themto work on their decision-makingby choosing a boy who is good.However, there are negatives tothis, too.

One obvious negative is theSee Love Hut — Page 12

He and his students havebeen working with the leukartreaction, a tested method usedfor more than a century. Theprocess normally takes up to10-20 hours. However, in thelab with Bobylev’s method, ittakes less than 15 minutes, sav-ing time, wear on the machin-ery and also that thing we can’tseem to live without, money.

Bobylev said nobody shouldbe scared of chemistry andmodestly says he is not achemist. He said he was ratherintimidated by the abstract laidout for the patent process. Hewas awarded the patent inDecember 2012, four years afterfirst applying for it. He statedthat, in larger universities,researchers have a productionplan, produce some articles andat the same time are also work-ing for funding to continue.

"Here (at MSU) I really canthink about what I want to do,what could be interesting, andalso what could be interestingfor the students,” he said.

Bobylev plans to submitpapers to scientific journalsabout his method, acquire morefunding to continue hisresearch and, hopefully, obtainmore patents.

It’s been seven and a halfyears since we first saw the signsof that awful disease. I was justcleaning up after the mess I madein preparing breakfast when Tedabruptly appeared in the door-way that leads to the garage.

“That blasted brat forgot mynewspaper again! These good-for-nuthin’ kids that are beingraised these days . . . it’s a shame.A God awful shame.” I watchedhim continue to grumble as hisaging joints shuffled to the wornout La-Z-Boy in the living room.The day’s paper was laying bythe coffee pot where he’d placedit just before we sat down to acheerful breakfast.

Fifty three years had alreadyflown by before we’d even real-ized it. We missed our fiftiethanniversary, so we decided we’dhave a big celebration for ourfifty-fifth instead. Double nickelssounded luckier and more note-worthy, anyway. But we neverguessed the disease would over-take Ted so quickly. Only twentyshort months passed after thenewspaper incident before itbecame severe. First, the names ofhis beloved dogs over the yearswere forgotten, then his favoritebrand of button-up dress shirts.The names of his seven grand-children left him after that, but hecould at least recognize their

faces, most of the time. His twosons and daughter were next,along with most of his childhoodmemories. We decided to movehim to a Home. Yet despite all ofthis, he always remembered me.

“Ah, my sweetheart has cometo bring me to my real home,”he’d always say to me, “I wasstarting to worry you’d forgottenme. “Then he’d wink and puckerhis lips up as far as he could getthem to go—Ted always was thecomedic one.

But one day, it was Ted whoforgot me. Suddenly, my life feltbroken, void of purpose. It tookeverything I had to focus on con-tinuing to breathe; a thousandpounds of emptiness weighed medown. I knew the day was com-ing eventually, but did it have tobe so soon? I had led myself tohope that I was so important toTed that I’d never be forgotten,but I knew that was unfair. If itwas up to Ted, he’d remembereveryone and everything. Beforethe disease he was as sharp as atack. And witty, and charming,and vivacious, and perfect, andmine. Now he’d forgotten me,and I almost felt as though Icouldn’t put a claim on him any-more. If he didn’t remember me,how could he still be mine?

Even though Ted couldn’tremember me I kept visiting himevery day while he was in theHome. I still do, too. I won’t stopuntil one of us dies. They takegood care of him there, makingsure he eats, that he has somefresh air every day, and that healways has new sheets. I had tomake a point of that last one,however. Otherwise they’d onlybe changed once every twoweeks! Ted didn’t like sheets thatdidn’t have the crisp feeling onlyfreshly washed ones have. Ishould know. I shared a bed withhim for over fifty years. If the

cleaning ladies ever overlookremaking the bed, I make surethey know it. I’m at the Homeevery day, though. There’s noopportunity for them to forgetonce they see me.

The first few weeks when Tedno longer called me his sweet-heart were some of the hardestweeks in my life. The only thingthat has ever hurt worse waswhen Ted and I suffered throughtwo consecutive miscarriages. Butthen, we had each other. Now, Iwas alone. The kids are too busywith their jobs to ever call.Apparently money trumps fami-ly. There finally came a pointwhen I had to make a decisionabout the direction my life wasturning. Either I could continueto mourn what had been takenfrom me, or I could embrace whatI still had. Ted would haveencouraged me to be optimisticand appreciate every minute theGood Lord gave us if he couldhave. And that’s what I decidedto do.

Four years ago to the day I puton my fanciest red dress—Ted’sfavorite color. Around my necklaid the pearls he gave me for ourfifteenth anniversary, the dia-mond bracelet from our twenty-first on my left wrist. I pinned myblack hat with red trim to myhair, pulling the tiny veil over myeyes, and slipped my feet intobeaded slippers. Looking in themirror that day, under my wrin-kled skin, I remember seeinghints of the woman Ted fell inlove with so long ago. I couldn’thelp but feeling giddy, and evennow butterflies still twitter in mystomach. I still go to the Homeevery day, but I’m not just check-ing on Ted’s bed sheet status. I’vemade it a personal goal to haveTed want to ask me to marry himbefore I go home every night. Ihaven’t failed a single day yet.

Beavers drop 2road games

In a weekend series withnational championship implica-tions, the Minot State Beaversmen’s hockey team wanted tosend a message to the rest of theACHA.

After two convincing victoriesover the #18 ranked University ofArizona Wildcats, the Beaversmessage was loud and clear. Thiswill be a team to be reckoned within the national tournament.

By picking up a 7-1 victory onFriday, followed by a 5-2 win onSaturday, the Beavers dealt a seri-ous blow to the Wildcats’ nationaltournament hopes. While the #3ranked Beavers have alreadysecured a spot in the ACHADivision I NationalChampionships March 1-6 inChicago, the Wildcats came intothe weekend clinging to the 18thand final tournament spot. Now,their playoff fate rests out of theirhands. They will be forced to anx-iously await next week’s rankingsto find out if they will participatein the ACHA postseason.

The Beavers rode a fast startand fresh legs to a series-openingwin Friday night. Fans had barelysettled in their seats before seniorJordan Willert put the hosts up 1-0 less than a minute in. TheWildcats, coming off a tough 4-1

loss to Williston the previousnight, seemed stunned by the goaland struggled to keep up with theBeavers’ furious opening pace.

Minot State stretched the leadto two after Eric Herbel took apass from Cam McGeough andpopped it top shelf past Arizonagoaltender Robert Schultz. Beforethe PA announcer could evenannounce the goal, Logan Heraufput the Beavers up 3-0 with atremendous individual effort.

Later in the period, Cody Hallwas awarded a penalty shot afterbeing hauled down on a break-away. Unfortunately, the pucktrickled off his stick as he came infor the shot.

The Beavers doubled their leadin the second period as KyleStephens, Willert and McGeougheach rippled the twine for MinotState. Will Kinsman scored theBeaver’s lone goal of the thirdperiod, a beautiful snipe highglove side on a 2-on-1 opportuni-ty. Minot starting goaltenderWyatt Waselenchuk wasn’t able tonab the shutout after allowing alate goal, but was solid whencalled upon in earning the victory.

Looking to avoid a seriessweep, the Wildcats came outwith much more jump andurgency in Saturday’s seriesfinale. Once again, however, scor-ing the first goal gave Minot

momentum they would rarelyrelinquish.

Herauf finished off a prettypassing play with GarrettFerguson to open the scoringroughly ten minutes in. Minuteslater, Mike Jordan tipped in apoint shot from Brad Olynyk onthe power play for a two-goalMinot advantage.

The second period saw theteams trade goals. Ferguson struckfor MSU, pouncing on a puck thathad slipped through the pads aftera shot from Captain Nigel Dube.Wildcat Captain Brian Slugockianswered by putting his team on

the board with a power playmarker.

Ferguson put the local heroesup 4-1 with a power play goalearly in the third period. Olynyklater floated a shot from the pointpast a screened goaltender for a 5-1 MSU lead. With their playoffhopes evaporating, Arizonashowed more desperation late inthe period and managed to potone goal on a 5-on-3 power play.

The Beavers’ suffocatingdefense, however, ultimatelyensured that was as close as theywould come. Waselenchuk picked

Despite an extremely difficultfirst season in Division II, theMinot State Beavers wrestlingteam looked to end their homeschedule on a positive note lastFriday with a dual againstSouthwest Minnesota State.Unfortunately, MSU fell behindearly and never recovered, stum-bling to a 44-3 loss.

After forfeiting points at the125-pound class, Minot battledhard, but struggled against astrong SMSU roster. The Beavers(1-15, 0-8 NSIC) ended up on thewrong side of the first eightmatches, a streak that saw SMSUmanage four pins and one win bytechnical fall.

Sophomore heavyweightBobby Bartz salvaged some pridefor the Beavers with a win in thedual’s final match. He defeatedopponent Jon Gorter 7-3 toensure that Minot State did notget shut out.

While disappointed in theoverall result, Head Coach RobinErsland was happy to send thefans home with at least one victo-ry.

“It's nice to win at least thelast match,” Ersland told MinotState Sports Information after thedual. “It's good to send the fansout on a more positive note, andBobby did a nice job tonight. Theguy from SMSU was a littlesmaller and quicker, but Bobby

did well in reacting to his moves;that's why he won the match.”

The loss to SouthwestMinnesota State was preceded bytwo tough defeats the previousweekend.

The Beavers opened Februaryin Aberdeen for a Friday nightdual with the Northern StateWolves. Strong early perform-ances had Minot State poised tocollect its first NSIC win. MattRuby, Marcus Polak, Eric O’Neill,and Matt Fetterley all picked upvictories, with Fetterley pinninghis opponent in a mere 34 sec-onds. O’Neill also scored a pin,earning his first collegiate victoryby taking down his opponent at

the 6:08 mark.The Beavers led 18-17 with

just three matches to go, butwound up dropping all threeremaining duals to lose a 31-18decision. Ersland expressed frus-tration at not picking up the vic-tory.

“I'm disappointed that wedidn't get the win tonight,”Ersland said. “We had ourchances; we just can't seem tostay off our backs in a coupleweight classes and that is whathurt us again tonight.”

risk of spreading STDs. The gov-ernment, however, does providecondoms and other goods to thevillagers. Another issue isunwanted pregnancies. Abortionsare not an option there, so whenthat happens one of three thingsoccurs: The boy will be married tothe girl, unless the father disap-proves. A girl will have sex withanother boy and tell him that thechild is his (that’s just wrong) orthe girl will end up being a singlemother. (Neither one is really agood thing to go through, so it’sjust safer to put the condom on,guys. Same goes for western civi-lization. Put the helmet on yoursoldier before battle. Howeveryou want to say it, use protection.)

The traditions of the Kreungare definitely unique and very dif-

ferent from ours. Despite the plussides of having a "love hut," Idon't see the trend catching on inour society. How awkward wouldit be if you mistook your neigh-bor’s fancy dog house for a "lovehut?" It would be very awkward.I'm fine with people exploringtheir sexuality, but not forkids/teens who are too young. Imean, heck, the girls in that vil-lage have been with more guys bythe time they’re 18 than the aver-age person has by the time he’s 45.It’s just not right, not right at all.

Kids are "growing up" toodamn fast and they aren't ready forit. I don't know about anyone elsebut if I ever have kids, male orfemale, they aren't having a phone‘til they're in seventh or eighthgrade, they won't date until they're25 – and it’s a safe bet that theywon't have a "Love Hut."
