Race a wooden boat downthe babbling brook: easyenough, right? EmersonProcess Management threwdown the gauntlet and eightcompetitors accepted, butonly one stood victorious inthe rain Tuesday afternoon.

Emerson, whose Rose-mount division is headquar-tered in Chanhassen, Minn.,hosted the challenge posed tostudents studying engineer-ing and computer sciences inan effort to boost namerecognition. Winners walkedaway with prizes that

included iPod Shuffles, four-gigabyte flash drives and po-tentially a full-time job offer.

Richard Duke, whose ves-sel was the only to traversethe falls safely, said he took

part in the contest “just forthe fun of it.” Duke, whostudies electrical engineer-ing, cited a simple philoso-phy for designing “Dick'sBoat”: “I Just figuredfreighters work for movingthings, so I'll just make aminiature one.” The popsi-cle-stick barge navigated thewaters in two minutes eightseconds.

Emerson gave participantstwo weeks to prepare for therace, providing the rules andconstruction kits. Thosethere to watch the spectacle

were treated to a free bite toeat served by Jimmy John’s.

“The last two or threeyears, we've been doingwhat we call college sponsor-ship,” said Loren Engelstad,director of engineering atRosemount. “It's all aboutbuilding a better relation-ship with the university andstudents,” he continued. Thegoal of the event is to attractjuniors and seniors studyingmechanical or electrical en-gineering as well as com-puter science majors to fillfull-time openings.

The Rosemount divisionspecializes in pressure flowand temperature measure-ment devices, which are usedin oil and gas, chemical,power and pharmaceuticalindustries. Emerson is basedout of St. Louis and has 263locations worldwide, em-ploying 142,000 and makingaround $22 billion in saleslast year alone.

‘ ‘“I Just figuredfreighters workfor movingthings, so I'lljust make aminiature one.”-- RichardDuke, electri-cal engineeringstudent.

The governor’s office is inthe process of creating a taskforce aimed at reassessingthe current funding modelapplied to the UniversitySystem in North Dakota.

For years, colleges anduniversities across the statehave been given funds fromthe state based on a fundingmodel which, according toNDSU President Dean Bres-ciani, is ungrounded.

“It’s inexplicable, youknow, and I underline thisbecause nobody’s ever triedto explain to me how thestate funding of a student atNDSU could be doubled andwe’d still be less than severalother institutions,” Brescianisaid.

The committee assignedwith reworking the currentfunding model is being cre-ated by the governor afteryears of outcry from the re-search universities’ adminis-trations. Though still indevelopment, it will includelegislators, staff from thegovernor’s office and repre-sentatives from the highereducation institutions in thestate.

With news of an 8.8 per-cent increase in tuition hit-ting students late last year asa result of the fundingmodel, NDSU student bodyrepresentatives decided towork with people who had

contact with the governor todecide what needed to bechanged.

“We didn’t just approve atuition increase and say,‘OK, let’s just move on withour lives’; we continued toeducate ourselves over thesummer about our history… and more about how wego about changing our waysin the future,” student bodyPresident Cam Knutsonsaid. “How do we not failagain at the state level?”

With academic training inhigher education financeand economics, PresidentBresciani has actively partic-ipated in some of the fund-ing conversations that havebeen happening at the statelevel. He is confident that thefunding system will bechanged for the better, buthis optimism is partially aresult of NDSU’s current sit-uation.

“I’m absolutely confidentthat no matter what comesout, it’s going to be a bettermodel and it’s going to bet-ter serve NDSU. We justcouldn’t get in worse shapethan we are right now,”Bresciani said.

The funding model has be-come such a problem thatthe Legislature, State Boardand governor have stipu-lated that moving into thenext biennium, the Univer-sity System cannot continueto use the current fundingmodel.

This is all happening at a

time when the UniversitySystem is undergoing a tran-sition of power. With Chan-cellor Bill Goetz steppingdown at the end of the year,there will be a new seniormember involved in howthings operate. His or her in-volvement throws a wildcard into the mix.

“In terms of the develop-ment of the formula, itshould have no impact …but when you get new seniorleadership for a college oruniversity system, there’sunknown for that; it couldbe helpful, it could be hurt-ful, it could be somewhere inbetween,” Bresciani said.

The changes made to thefunding model will likely re-

sult in a varied distributionof a similar amount of funds.Increases in funding to insti-tutions like NDSU will resultin decreases for other cam-puses.

“You’re not going to seeany schools closing; they’reall going to stay open. I thinkwhat’s in jeopardy is howmuch they are going to getfunded and how muchthey’re going to continue togrow.” Knutson said. “Iknow at Valley City, nobodywants cuts – nor do they de-serve them – but there’s gotto be some changes.”

The next biennium startsin 2013. The task force hasuntil then to make thechanges.

“I think the Champion ofChange recognition is agreat way for people to learnwho their local crisis centeris,” Stacie Loegering, Direc-tor of Information and Cri-sis Services at FirstLink,said. “It is great to be recog-nized for being part of a na-tional service that supportsour community.”

The goal of FirstLink is toconnect people to resources.

“The Champion ofChange recognition is veryvaluable for all communitymembers to remember howmuch of our community isaffected by suicide. It canhelp people become moti-vated to learn about suicideprevention and decide whatthey can do to support fam-ily, friends and others whoare suicidal,” Loegeringsaid.

“FirstLink, along with allthe other crisis centers in theNational Suicide PreventionLifeline network, wantseveryone to know there ishelp and support available.Each person can become in-volved in suicide preventionsimply by sharing the Na-tional Suicide PreventionLifeline number, 1-800-273-8255 (TALK),” Loegeringsaid.

On Monday night, stu-dents and community mem-bers attended “Out of theAshes of 9/11,” a programfeaturing Sujo John, a sur-vivor of the World TradeCenter attacks. John pre-sented in front of a full audi-ence in Festival Concert Hallon how 9/11 played in to hisexperiences as a newcomerto the United States.

At the event, John spokeprimarily about how he andhis wife overcame the cata-strophic terrorist attacksduring 9/11 with help fromGod. He said they eachearned jobs working at theWorld Trade Center, withSujo in the north tower onthe eighty-first floor and hiswife in the south tower onthe seventy-first. Both heand his wife managed to es-cape from the buildingswithout serious injuries.

John now lives in Dallas,Texas along with his wife, 9-year-old son, 5-year-olddaughter and 2-month-oldbaby. John’s wife was fourmonths pregnant with their

eldest son during the attacksat the World Trade Center.

“You’ve been there?” Johnasked the audience. “Wheneverything seems to be goingwell for you and your family,then tragedy hits and makesyou question and wonder,‘Why do tragedies hap-pen?’”

John uses his incrediblestory about surviving the9/11 disaster at the WorldTrade Center as a means ofinspiring peoples’ faith.“Here I stand before you

tonight sharing of [God’s]goodness and his glory,”John said.

He and his wife have beenspeaking to millions of peo-ple since 2001 about theirjourney of survival whentragedy struck. “What I getto now do is use my story asa tool to share my faith,which I do all across thiscountry and different partsof the world,” John said.

Danielle Engel, a freshmanmajoring in nursing, at-tended the event and men-

tioned that Sujo John’s storyreally impacted her knowl-edge and understanding of9/11.

“I think it’d be really hardfor a person that was in thatsituation to go up and talkabout it in front of peoplebecause it was such atragedy,” Engel said. “So Ithink just sharing the storyof the day of 9/11 was reallyprofound … it gives the emo-tional side of it more thanthe factual side.”

Engel thought the way inwhich John added humorthroughout the presentationhelped to provide comic re-lief for such a heavy topic. “Iexpected it to be really deep,which it was, but he did agood job of adding in funnybits to help lighten the mooda little bit,” Engel said.

David Stockdill, a fresh-man majoring in zoology,thought it was interesting tohear the perspective of 9/11from someone who had dealtwith it firsthand.

“Each piece of the storyabout how he went throughthat event was important,”Stockdill said. “To hear itfrom someone who was thereas to someone who had justseen it on the news is differ-ent.”

Even though John’s mes-sage was faith-based, stu-dents like Stockdill weremore intrigued by the 9/11aspect of his story. “I mostlywent not so much for thefaith aspect but for the 9/11aspect,” Stockdill said. “Ifeel like it gives a little bitbroader perspective of whatactually happened there.”

The event was sponsoredand organized by NDSU’sCampus Crusades for Christ(CRU), which is a Christianfellowship group on campus.

In an interview with SAE’sPhilanthropy and Fundrais-ing Chair Muddi Kpohraror,he explained that all pro-

ceeds of the event benefit theAmerican Foundation forSuicide Prevention.

With the American Foun-dation for Suicide Preven-tion being SAE’s mainphilanthropy, they have cho-sen to hold the volleyballtournament during Suicideand Depression Awarenessweek, in hopes of gaining theattention of students, facultyand staff across NDSU’scampus.

Attendance in past yearsfor the volleyball tourna-ment has been impressive,but Kpohraror said, “I hopewe get even more people toparticipate than at lastyear’s tournament. If noth-ing else, it’s a fun way forpeople to get involved andshow support for suicide anddepression prevention.”

Let’s face it: Relationshipsin general are hard and re-quire work. But whether ornot you are a few hours’drive or across the continentfrom your significant other,long distance relationships(LDR) can seem like torture.Here are some helpful tipsfrom collegefashion.net forsurviving a LDR.

You both have to wantto make it work.

This sounds easy or like itshould be assumed, butmake sure you and your sig-nificant other are on thesame page. If one of you isn’thelping to maintain the rela-tionship, it doesn’t matter ifyou are in a LDR or not, therelationship probably won’twork out.

Communication is key. Talk, Talk, Talk people!

OK, so maybe it’s not onlytalking; however, communi-cation is your biggest assetwhen you are in a LDR. Youdon’t have the physical ornonverbal cues to help youcommunicate either, so youprobably will have to work abit harder to communicatewith your significant other.

You have to be clear withyour feelings, even if you feellike you are being silly aboutsomething. Share any and allfeelings. If you don’t shareinsecurities with your signif-icant other, being in a LDRis just going to exacerbatethose feelings.

And just think of all thecreative ways you can talk ina LDR: Skype, snail mail,texting, phone calls, and on-line social media sites are allgreat ways to communicate.

Patience is a virtue.We’ve all heard this from

a young age. Now you get to

putting it into practice.LDRs can get complicatedwhen unanswered phonecalls or texts happen, butyou have to be patient.

Being in a LDR meansthat your schedules won’tmatch up and that youmight have to wait longer totalk. If you get anxious overthis fact, keep yourself busyso you won’t have to bethinking about it or waitingfor the phone to ring.

You have nothing with-out trust.

Any relationship requirestrust. LDRs just requirewhat seems to be a lot more.You don’t always know whatyour significant other isdoing, and if you can’t trustthem this can be agonizing.

If your significant otherdoesn’t trust you, then theycould be upset with youwhen you try to have funand do something withoutthem. Trust needs to begiven and shared with eachother. If you don’t think youcan do that, then you mightneed to re-think the relation-ship.

Look toward the future.There is always going to be

a joyous reunion. Look to-ward that when you feel likeending it all. LDRs are hard,but so worth it if you reallywant the relationship to last.It strengthens your bondwith each other, and youhave something that othercouples who aren’t in LDRssometimes don’t.

Just remember there willcome a day when you seeyour significant other again,and all the loneliness andsadness that you felt beingaway from each other willmelt away. You just have toremember that the bestthings in life are usuallyworth the wait.

Recently, a photo surfacedonline of Justin Bieber andBoys II Men singer ShawnStockman recording in thestudio together.

Growing up listening toBoys II Men, I must admitthat I am more than excitedto hear that the group’s newalbum, “Twenty,” will be re-leased in October.

When I heard that Boys IIMen and Bieber are record-ing a new Christmas tracktogether for this upcomingseason, I couldn’t help butanticipate the holiday com-ing sooner.

According to mtv.com,“Bieber had his musical he-roes in mind when he heardthe song - called‘Falalalala,’- for his upcom-ing holiday album.”

“He thought we'd be per-fect for it,” Stockman said.“And we went in and lockedin.”

Bieber’s forthcomingChristmas album is prom-ised to include all originaltunes. In a Twitter exchangebetween Bieber and hismanager Scooter Braun, theduo revealed that the“Christmas album is amaz-ing” and “it might be thebest album yet.”

“All originals ... soon 2 bclassics. Every1 i play it 4 isblown away. #Excited,”Braun said on the social net-working site.

“@scooterbraun yeah weare going hard for Christ-mas!! #mistletoe,” Bieberreplied.

The album will also in-clude collaborations withartists Sean Kingston andTaylor Swift.

As for Boys II Men, theyare ecstatic Bieber chosethem to do the collaborationon his album and shared re-cently on an interview withMTV News, “It’s good toknow we’ve influenced sucha great artist.”

“It's something that makesus feel we've accomplished[something and] we're doingour job, [that] a guy soyoung and so into his craft[is] influenced by three guysfrom Philadelphia that loveto sing,” Boys II Men mem-ber, Wanya Morris said.

Bieber has yet to announcethe official date of release forthe Christmas album, but hedid tweet an early gift:“thinking about startingChristmas early ... like No-vember. #Newmusic.”

Will this collaboration bethe hit of the winter seasonor will it be an epic fail? Idon’t know about you, but Ican’t wait to see.

Tell me what you think!Like The Spectrum on Face-book to get the conversationstarted!

Every Wednesday after-noon, one room in theNDSU Memorial Union is litwith a single candle.

Who is behind such an in-teresting and captivatingsight?

The Bison Catholic organ-ization reserves this roomevery Wednesday from 11a.m. to 4 p.m. for prayer.The event is called Adora-tion on Campus and is spon-sored by St. Paul's NewmanCenter. Getting in touchwith God is its sole purpose.

Tim Olson, an NDSUgraduate who works withthis event, explained themeaning of adoration in thiscontext. “Adoration is theaffirmation of the Catholics’faith. Through adoration,one is able to keep a visualof prayer and really feelhow God dwells within his

people,” Olson said.Olson said that Adoration

on Campus would give aperson the chance to reallyfeel the meaning of prayer.Also, someone could learn alittle bit about a differenttype of culture here atNDSU from attending thisevent.

“Anyone is welcome to at-tend this event. If you aresomeone who is simply look-ing to spend time in thepresence of Jesus, then thedoors are open for you,”Olson said.

The Adoration on Cam-pus is held in the MeadowRoom right across from theMemorial Union admin-strative office.

The event takes place onlywhen classes are in session.

If you would like to knowmore about Adoration onCampus you can contactTim Olson at [email protected].

Shampoo showdown2-in-1 versus shampoo and conditioner

-Matt Severns

When it comes to my mornings, I’dmuch rather make it out the door ontime than indulge in a four-hour powershower. I acknowledge the need forshampoo and conditioner, but with thisbeing the 21st century, I also acknowl-edge the advent of 2-in-1s.

With a proper wet, lather and rinse,there is no need for a repeat if I amusing a 2-in-1. My hair may have a fewmore split ends as a result, but you'dhave to tell me before I'd notice.

There are so many shampoo and con-ditioner commercials out there that themarket has become the modern-dayequivalent of a troupe of traveling sales-men. Gimmicks abounding, I can’t tellwhat will give my hair a healthy sheenand what will give it a lustrous shine.I'm also pretty sure split ends can’t berepaired.

I am not a particularly frugal person,but the pricing that 2-in-1s offer is anadded bonus when I am stocking myvanity. I would gladly pay $15 per bottleif I were willing to accept all the non-FDA-regulated claims the productsmake. The fact of the matter, however,isn’t so much that I am cheap, as it isthat I prefer to spend my money wisely

I don’t have time to let the conditionerset and to completely rinse the shampoobefore reapplying, and quite frankly,I'm not sure it's worth it. With perfume,I might be able to walk up to someoneand guess what they're wearing. Withhair product, good luck.

This being said, even though hairtreatment companies might have youbelieving that there is a difference be-tween 2-in-1s and the traditionally splitshampoos and conditioners, my time(and my money for that matter) isworth something. That is, if I spend $4on a family size bottle of Pert and I'mable to get out of the shower before Irun out of hot water, I've struck gold.

Plus, at the end of the day -- Pert orsalon brand -- I still get a beyond-com-fortable amount of people who stillwant to run their fingers through myhair.

-Cate Ekegren

Too many people are using fad prod-ucts like 2-in-1 shampoo and condition-ers and not respecting their hair andscalp!

Separate shampoos and conditionerscan do wonders for your hair. Shampoois meant to cleanse your hair and scalpand there are many different kinds ofshampoos: some for oily hair, some fordry scalp, some for stripping awaystyling products, etc.

Conditioner on the other hand focuseson maintaining your hair appearance.Just like shampoo, there are many dif-ferent kinds of conditioners: some fordry hair, some for frizzy hair, some forcolor-treated hair, etc.

When buying a 2-in-1 shampoo andconditioner, you are losing the ability tochoose the right shampoo and condi-tioner for your hair and scalp. You don’thave to buy the same brand shampoo asyour conditioner and you don’t have tobuy a conditioner for thick hair just be-cause your shampoo is for those withthick hair.

I like to compare it to a peanut butterand jelly sandwich. You can make asandwich with separate peanut butterand jelly. You can choose exactly whatkind of peanut butter you want (likecrunchy, creamy or organic) and ex-actly what kind of jelly you want (likestrawberry, grape or raspberry), or youcan make a sandwich with the brandthat swirls only creamy peanut butterand grape jelly together in the same jar.Sure it’s faster, but a 2-in-1 peanut but-ter and jelly isn’t giving you what youreally want!

I understand 2-in-1 shampoo and con-ditioners are cheaper because you onlybuy one bottle of product rather thantwo, and it makes sense that showeringand rinsing out only one product isfaster than the same routine with twoproducts. But, if shampoo and condi-tioner had the same chemical make-upand uses, they wouldn’t be sold as sep-arate products.

Take the few extra minutes in theshower to use separate products on yourhair and spend those few extra dollarsto buy separate shampoo and condi-tioner rather than a 2-in-1 product.Your hair and scalp will thank you, andyou will notice a healthy difference!

HONEST

TRUTH

Choosing between a dream job or your partnerDear Bison Pack,I am currently a senior and looking forward to graduating

in the fall. I recently started dating someone, and thingsare starting to get a bit serious. Unfortunately, my joboffer is in Colorado and I have to move in December. But Ihave a problem: I haven’t told him yet. This job is an op-portunity of a lifetime with a public relations firm thatusually does not hire recent graduates, and I can’t refusethe offer. I don’t want to risk losing this chance, but Ihave fallen in love with my boyfriend and I don’t want toleave him behind. What should I do?Sincerely,Driven and In Love

Dear Driven and In Love,First, I must ask you: Which is more important to you, having your dream

job or playing cupid and hearts with your beau? Once you have made thisdecision, then your answer should be quite obvious. Let me clarify. It’s hardenough to find a job after college; do you really want to risk not only thejob you have been waiting for, but also maybe even finding a job at all?Your boyfriend is not dumb. He will understand that this is a career movethat you must take in order for you to be successful. If he doesn’t supportyou, then guess what? He needs to get the boot. And who knows, he mighteven be willing to move with you, that is if you’re ready for that next step.

- Tough Bison

You seem like a pretty smart person. If you've earned a job right out ofcollege, it's because you've already demonstrated potential. This being said,do you really think that some firm out in Colorado is the only one in thenation that wants you? If you're smart, you'll be able to find another job.If you're in love, that doesn't necessarily qualify you for a newfound ro-mance. Emotions are based on compatibility, whereas a résumé is based onconcrete experiences that exist independently of some firm in Colorado.Home is where the heart is.

- Brilliant Bison

Even though it may seem like this job is an “opportunity of a lifetime,”you cannot pass up love. Who knows? Perhaps if you leave, you’ll face theheartbreaking reality that you chose a job over your potential soul mate. Ifthere is one thing that I’ve learned about life and love, you’ll always be ableto find a career. If you pick this job over him now, what else will you chooseyour job over in the future? When you choose your profession over yourrelationships, you miss out on what really matters.

Does it live up to all thehype, and is it worth $90? Ina word: Yes

The release of “Star Wars:The Complete Saga” lastweek finally did for the time-less space opera what fanshave been dreaming of fortoo many nights. The filmscan now be enjoyed in glori-ous high definition thanks toBlu-ray with over 40 hoursof special features.

The series as a whole islooking its best in the HDformat, which is a lot to sayconsidering it has neverlooked bad. In regards tothe visual quality of the orig-inal trilogy, not every scenelooks like it was shot yester-day; there is still an overallgraininess to the visuals thatcan be a bit too noticeable attimes. The films still look im-

pressive -- most impressive,considering they’ve aged forthree decades. You can al-most see your own reflectionin our favorite Sith lord’shelmet, and individual blem-ishes are distinguishable onC-3PO’s golden plating.

The audio is nothing shortof phenomenal. Bits of dia-logue and background noiseonce unnoticed make re-watching the films a freshexperience. John William’sscore has never sounded bet-ter, driving home feelings oftriumph and tragedy in 6.1surround sound.

Now, as most are aware,many things have happenedto those cinematic master-pieces since mankind firstset eyes on them. Further, asmost are aware, it is the “en-hanced” versions of themovies consumers are stuckwith. We are still led to be-lieve that Greedo shot first,and watching the dancescene at Jabba’s Palace isstill torture.

Some of the new alter-ations actually help out, be-lieve it or not, but only onesthat are minimalistic.Touched-up lightsaberblades and blaster shots aregenerally good things, inmuch the same manner asre-mastered audio. However,a new more “alien” noiseBen Kenobi uses to scare offthe sand people in “A NewHope” will make the unsus-pecting cringe. A slew ofother changes include a CGIYoda in “The Phantom Men-ace” and the ability to blinknow bestowed upon Ewoks.

Tragically, in his continual

tinkering with the films,George Lucas destroyedDarth Vader’s silent sacri-fice toward the end of “Re-turn of the Jedi.” HearingVader cry out,“Noooooooooo!!!!” in “Re-venge of the Sith” was ad-mittedly hilarious; here it isno laughing matter, and is inmany ways disturbing. Tar-nishing this memory may beunforgivable for diehards.

Don’t fret just yet though:The additional material is agreat added bonus, and insome ways redemptive forthis collection. Viewers nowhave access to infamousdeleted scenes (Wampas inEcho Base, anyone?) in var-ious stages of productionand editing. Also included

are over an hour and a halfof spoofs that will surelyelicit nerdy chuckles, be theyfrom “Family Guy,” “RobotChicken” or “SaturdayNight Live.”

All in all, “Star Wars: TheComplete Saga” carries allthe baggage from past re-re-leases. What it also brings tothe table is the beauty of HDand a boatload of extras,making it about as close to adefinitive collection as wemay ever see. This is a mustbuy for avid fans, who canundoubtedly trooperthrough the altered scenes.For all others, lose yourselfin a galaxy far, far away forat least a few hours becausethe whole package doesn’tdisappoint.

The Force is strong on Blu-rayBut is this package right for you?

‘ ‘“The films stilllook impres-sive -- mostimpressive,consideringthey’ve agedfor threedecades.”


“Star Wars: The Complete Saga” takes a classic series and re-works it to fit newer digital formats.

Monday night, ComedyCentral roasted none otherthan the self-proclaimedrock star from Mars, Char-lie Sheen. It just so hap-pened they decided to roastSheen on the very nightAshton Kutcher replacedhim on “Two and a HalfMen.”

Seth MacFarlane startedthe night off by remindingeveryone of Sheen’s funeraltaking place on CBS, andthen stated that no oneneeds to flip over becausethey can watch the realthing in a few months. Hethen went on to “read” AmyWinehouse’s eulogy and saythey are identical, but thatWinehouse actually had tal-ent and will be missed. Thisopening really set the tonefor what was ahead.

The show then went to amontage of Sheen’s bestfilm roles including Rick“Wild Thing” Vaughn from“Major League” and hisroles in “Platoon” and“Wall Street.” The montagewas played over Survivor’s“Eye of the Tiger,” which isfitting considering Sheen’sblood. It was an interestingreminder that Sheen was ac-tually a respected actor be-fore all this went down.

Roasting Sheen were acollection of comics andsome wild cards includingJon Lovitz, Jeffrey Ross,Amy Schumer, WilliamShatner, Steve-O, KateWalsh, Anthony Jeselnik,Patrice O’Neal, and Mike

Tyson. Seth MacFarlane,who got a few burns in him-self, hosted the whole show.

None of the roasters heldback, leaving no part ofSheen’s life unscathed, fromhis drug problems to hisfamily and even his kids.Not all the jokes were funny,and some of them weren’tpolitically correct, but therewere some highlights.

Jeff Ross: “This lineup isso pathetic, I was hoping I’dget replaced by AshtonKutcher ... The only timeyour kids get to see you is inre-runs. Don’t you want tolive to see their first 12steps?”

Kate Walsh: “It’s amaz-ing, after abusing yourlungs, liver and kidneys, theonly thing you’ve had re-moved is your kids.”

William Shatner: “Char-lie, I’m 80 years old. You’re,what, 46? How come welook like we went to highschool together?”

Mike Tyson: “As the Bardonce said, ‘All the world’s astage.’ And Charlie’s beenbooed off them all.”

To his credit though,Sheen took it all in stride,and when he finally got achance to speak, he put thenight in perspective. “Youcan’t hurt me. I can’t killme. Did you really thinkyour little jokes were goingto hurt me?” Sheen thenadded, “What I’m trying tosay is that I’m done with the‘winning’ because I’ve al-ready won ... I’ll see you allin the next adventure.”

What an adventure thatwill be.

“93 percent fresh on Rot-ten Tomatoes? More like 92percent of crap!”

That’s a direct quote froma young woman who sat be-hind me at the screening ofNicholas Winding Refn’s“Drive” over the weekend.

I first saw this movie inSan Diego in an audiencemade up of film critics andfilm buffs. Needless to say,the entire theater reveled inthe glory of “Drive’s” neonblood-spattered madness.One aspect of the film-goingexperience is the audience

you view it with, so I was cu-rious how the packed the-ater made up of college brosand middle-aged Midwest-ern couples would react tothis unconventional actionthriller.

The general reaction wasone of either revulsion overthe films content or indiffer-ence over the lack of shakycamera action. One guy Iknew told me he thought itwas both “terrible and bor-ing.”

This may have happenedfor several reasons, includ-ing the impression left by anill-conceived ad campaignthat played up the action as-pects of the film and left outthe more complicated arthouse realities and sensibil-ities that make up the coreof the film.

This particular groupwent into “Drive” expecting“The Fast and the Furious”or “The Transporter,” anexpectation that doomedany chance that theycould’ve had to enjoy it.

This caused me some sad-ness deep inside for the factthat even though there arebasic similarities between“Drive” and its blockbustercousins, “Drive” is a rebuketo those kinds of films – amore intelligent and riveting

take on familiar stories,characters and archetypes.

In fact, “Drive” began itslife as a novel by authorJames Sallis, which initiallywas slated to be the basis foran action vehicle for HughJackman that would’ve hadmuch more in common with“Fast” and “Transporter.”

Luckily, that film lan-guished in Hollywood limboand was never produced, in-stead getting passed on toproducer Marc Platt. WhenPlatt offered the role toRyan Gosling, Gosling saidhe would only make the filmif he could choose his direc-tor. He chose Nicolas Wind-ing Refn.

When Refn and screen-writer Hossein Amini lookedat Sallis’ novel, they sawsomething more than just astraight up action movie.They saw an existential loveletter to a fairy tale Los An-geles: A film inhabited bymodern day knights and evilJapanese Daimyos – if theknight was instead a stoicgetaway driver and theDaimyo a Jewish gangster.

Another aspect thatturned people off was thestreamlined plot and sparsedialogue, which to me saysthey missed the point.Movies just aren’t aboutwhat happens and what issaid. There is a more sub-versive and integral aspectthat more often than notgoes unnoticed: the overallmood of the film and howthe film affects you on a psy-chological level.

It is here that “Drive” suc-ceeds in spades. “Drive” hasan undeniable cool factor, ageneral feeling of confidenceand grandeur that entrapsthe mind and fills the senses.It does this through its out-of-this-world soundtrackand score by composer CliffMartinez, to a general mas-tery of aesthetics and tone.

I believe “Drive” to be inthe same company as “PulpFiction” and “Goodfellas,”even though it couldn’t bemore different than thosetwo films. They are some ofthe finest ever made, and Ibelieve “Drive” to be rightup there with them.

Having already won theBest Director prize at theCannes Film Festival, andhaving received a showeringof praise from not only filmcritics but also audiences(that 93 percent on RottenTomatoes didn’t come fromnowhere), “Drive” has agreat chance of receivingnominations come awardseason. It’s directing, writ-ing and performances aresome of the best I’ve seenthis year. It would be acrime if Gosling doesn’t getnominated or win for hisrole as Driver, or if AlbertBrook’s shocking turn asmob boss Bernie Rose goesunrecognized.

This is a once in a genera-tion kind of movie, but Iguess only time will tellwhere “Drive” will end up.

As a feminist in today’sworld, there are days when Istruggle to make the right“feminist” decision. I holdthe belief that people shouldspend each day working onbecoming a better version ofthemselves. While this is abeautiful thought, it isn’t aseasy as it sounds. Personally,it means that I need to makedecisions every day that pro-mote gender equality and donot objectify women.

While it’s easy for me tostand up against a misogy-nistic comment in class, edu-cate others about sexualassault truths or choose notto go to a strip club, otherchoices do not come as eas-ily. This is especially truewith regard to entertain-ment. For example, I believethat reality TV does terriblethings for humanity as awhole. To be more specific, itusually objectifies womenand makes us look unintelli-gent.

There are exceptions tothis opinion. Sometimes Ienjoy shows like “PawnStars” or “Intervention” be-cause they’re just fine. Theshows I refer to are those

that I’ve heard older adultscall “trashy reality TV.”Shows like “Jersey Shore,”“Teen Mom,” “The Bache-lor” and “The Bad GirlsClub” (just to name a few)are part of this list. Theseshows at their very core donot promote gender equality.Sometimes these shows arejust painful to watch, butother times I just want to beentertained by the ridicu-lousness of it all, which is theopinion many watchers hold.However, I refuse to let my-self watch these shows be-cause in the end, it makes mea hypocrite. Hearing that thenext episode is aboutSnooki’s beachside arrest orMaci’s baby-daddy dramacan make this rule of minetempting, but somehow I’vemanaged to resist.

Another guilty pleasurethat I’ve started to cut backon is reading women’s mag-azines. I used to read Cos-mopolitan and Glamourfrequently. A few monthsago I realized that school isonly allowing me a little bitof time to read for pleasure.What does it say about methat the only things I readare magazines about how tomake your waist looksmaller or how to “pleaseyour man?” It certainlydoesn’t say a lot. I’ve tried tobroaden my horizon andhave since then read “Infi-del” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali and“Bossypants” by Tina Fey.These books were empower-ing, touching and the veryopposite of those magazines.

I’m proud to say that I’vegrown since I implementedthese small feminist changes,but I have a long way to gountil I can say all decisions Imake are ones that reflectthe type of person I hope tobe.

It would appear that thenew “freemium” style ofonline transaction, in whichan application is down-loaded for free and cus-tomers can pick variousextra features and up-grades to purchase withinthat program, has actuallybeen paying off.

Anyone that follows on-line gaming is probablyaware that this free-to-play,pay-to-upgrade model hasworked wonders for mas-sively multiplayer onlinegames (MMOs). With titleslike “Lord of the Rings On-line” and “Dungeons andDragons Online” almost

tripling their annual rev-enue after switching from asubscription based model,and games like “DC Uni-verse Online” and “StarTrek Online” set to makethe jump later this year, it'seasy to see where the worldof online distribution isgoing.

As it turns out, personalcomputers aren't the onlyfield reaping the benefits ofthis new cost renaissance.According to HendrikKoekkoek of Distimo, afirm that specializes inmonitoring exactly this sortof thing, most of the rev-enue from apps on Apple'subiquitous iPhone actuallycomes from indirect, in-apppurchases rather than di-rect software sales.

This is big news for any-one planning on program-ming (not to mentionmarketing) software forone of the most popularsmartphones in the world.

According to Koekkoekand Distimo, 48 percent ofrevenue on the device isgarnered from free applica-tions with in-app pur-chases, while 24 percentcomes in from the in-apppurchases within softwarethat has an up-front cost.This is very significant forthe programming commu-nity, as it means that notonly does more revenuecome from in-app pur-chases, but specificallyfrom the aforementionedfreemium model.

With this sort of model

becoming more and moresuccessful and popular, itcan only be a matter of timebefore it spreads to moreconventional, ubiquitoussoftware.

Who doesn't already useword processing software?What if programs likeApple's Pages and Mi-crosoft's Word were to fol-low this model? I have toimagine that the rest of theworld might appreciatesoftware with no upfrontcost, possibly enough to notworry about buying newfonts, design styles, etc.

This is all hypothetical, ofcourse, but it seems to be amore and more likely out-come in an ever-changingsoftware market.

Throughout my years atNDSU, I have come to no-tice a few things aroundcampus:

You will always find peo-ple up late in the library.There will always be alarge need for coffee.Someone will always sleepin for at least one of yourclasses. Also, most men do

not write or even read po-etry.

According to a NewYorker article, from 1941,1968 and 2006, poetry isenjoyed by almost a 4-1ratio by women comparedto men. Most famous poetsare women as well, out-numbering men by a ratioof 3-to-1.

Although this may be ahard-known fact of life, ourculture tends to portraymen as emotionally awareand compassionate, espe-cially in movies.

Most of us can name onetime or another when wewere watching a show ormovie and saw a guy try towin a girl by writing herlove poems, playing her asong, or holding a radioover his head outside herwindow.

Even with this large so-cial pressure from our cul-

ture, college men write po-etry the least out of any de-mographic in the UnitedStates; less than 5 percentwrite poetry, and less than3 percent have written po-etry in the last year.

Although it may be hardfor men to let their guarddown and show their emo-tional side, poetry hasmany more benefits thanshowing your artistic side,or simply impressing a girl.

Free writing or journal-ing has been shown in mul-tiple health studies torelieve stress, lower yourheart rate and even lowerboth cholesterol and bloodpressure. This could comein handy with the amountof caffeine the normal col-lege student has in a day.

If that does not persuadeyou to pick up your penand let out your innerRobert Frost, here is one

more bit of information:Poetry is also a great wayto draw links from differ-ent areas of your life, whichmay allow you to balanceyour schedule.

This may seem weird, butPoetry Magazine publishedan article in 1999 thatshowed creative expressionthrough activities like po-etry allow people to cleartheir minds and organizethoughts and tasks moreeasily then those who didnot write at least once aweek.

No matter who you are,there really is no excuse notto write or express yourselfthrough poetry. You maywrite to someone, or justfor yourself. Either way,the short escape from yourdaily grind into you ownartistic world will pay divi-dends for years to come.

‘ ‘“Free writingor journalinghas beenshown in mul-tiple healthstudies to re-lieve stress.”

On Monday, PresidentObama introduced his debtreduction and economicgrowth plan. While this maynot sound very exciting tomost of you, I found myselfpunching jubilantly into theair upon learning about it.The reason I was extremelyhappy was because one ofthe key points Obama ad-dressed was his idea to stopSaturday mail delivery withthe United States PostalService.

Once I was done celebrat-ing, I had to remind myselfthat mail really does comeon Saturdays. It’s not thatSaturday mail isn’t memo-rable, but it just seems like awaste of time having to de-liver a few bills or some junk

mail on a day that isn’t veryconvenient or practical. Al-though I do get some reallygreat coupons in the mail, Iwouldn’t be too disgruntledif I didn’t receive them untilMonday.

Halting mail delivery onSaturdays would help keephundreds of thousands ofemployees from becominglaid off in the United Statesas well as cut down theUSPS’s substantial debts.According to CNN Moneyonline, this plan to put thekibosh on Saturday mailservice “would first allowthe U.S. Postal Service to use$7 billion from an over-funded pension account toavoid financial collapse.”

Ironically, earlier this year,the U.S. Postal Service pro-posed to stop Saturday maildelivery as well. They fig-ured that this change wouldhelp cut costs of up to $90billion over the next 10years, CNN Money indi-cated.

The reason this issue iseven occurring can beblamed on technology. Email

and online bill paymentshave decreased the need touse the U.S. Postal Service’sage-old form of business andcommunication. Simply put,this new digital era we nowlive in has shrunk the needfor old-fashioned mail deliv-ery.

If snail mail is no longerbeing delivered on Satur-days, it will take even longerto receive the $15 yourgrandma sends in yourbirthday card each year. Inall fairness, a card receivedin the mail is much more ex-citing than an email poppingup in your inbox.

In addition to ending Sat-urday mail delivery, theUSPS will be able to raisethe price of stamps anothertwo cents. And again, afterlearning this, I had to re-mind myself what the priceof stamps really are nowa-days. If this plan takes off,you and I will have to pay 46cents for a first-class, one-ounce letter instead of 44cents.

Normally I would havebeen a little upset that I’ll be

paying $9.20 instead of $8.80for 20 of my favorite Simp-sons stamps, but in order tokeep Americans employed,I’ll foot the bill.

Sam Lamwers, a sopho-more majoring in mathe-matics, works at the NDSUPost Office in the MemorialUnion and thinks that therise in price for stampswon’t affect many of theircustomers. “I feel like itwould be OK because mostpeople don’t really know theprice of stamps right nowanyway,” Lamwers said.

In order to keep the USPSabove ground and avoidbankruptcy, it makes senseto stop delivering mail onSaturdays and to raise theprice of stamps.

I think the rest of us canlive with a five-day postalweek in order for peoplearound the country to stayemployed and be able to putfood on their tables.

I’ll foot the bill with a smile on my face

Jaime JarminOpinion Editor

On a recent trip to Chili’sGrill and Bar Restaurant inFargo, I was quite surprisedto find a tabletop media unitwaiting for me at the booth.

Initially, I was impressed.The host seating my partyexplained the media unit tous as a lot of fun. The“Ziosk,” which works justlike an iPad, features appli-cations such as USA Today,the Weather Channel,plenty of games and a wayto pay your bill at the table.

Sure, these new tabletopmedia units are bringingrestaurants into the digitalage, but at what cost?

My family doesn’t get tosee each other very oftensince we are all living so farapart. When we do have achance to gather around atable (our own or at arestaurant) for a meal, it’snice to be able to catch upon things going on in ourlives.

Families with youngerchildren might appreciatethe Ziosk and it’s ability tokeep kids occupied, but ifkids can’t control them-selves in public, their par-ents need to stop looking fora quick fix and giving in totantrums by spoiling theirkids with fun and gamesand teach them how to bepatient through a meal.

Going out to eat in arestaurant used to be a treatbut now it has become sucha regular occurrence forbusy families, and it’s justnot special anymore.

If you’re at Chili’s for adate or a business meeting,the Ziosk tabletop mediaunit is definitely a distrac-tion. The Ziosk takes awayany possibility for a mean-ingful conversation, espe-cially when you are trying toget to know a new love inter-est or a new coworker orboss.

Considering the relation-ship between the guests andthe server, how much longerwill it be before guests placetheir order with the Ziosk aswell? As it is, we only sawour server about three orfour times and it was only todrop off drinks or food.There was no connectionthere and I wasn’t comfort-able leaving a decent tip be-cause the server made noeffort to make sure our ex-perience was enjoyable.

Remember the basics andbe respectful! Your parentswouldn’t read the paper andcheck their emails duringdinnertime, and I hope youwouldn’t watch YouTubevideos and play Angry Birdson your smartphone duringeither. Dinner lasts aroundan hour. Can our society re-ally not hold a conversationfor that long anymore with-out requiring some sort oftechnology?

Gone are the days of thefamily dinner and pleasantconversation over a plate ofdelicious food. Welcome tothe digital age.

Nowhere else in Americacan you find such a beautifuljuxtaposition of Americanideals as on Wall Street inNew York City. The OccupyWall Street demonstrationhas brought thousands ofprotesters to serve as an un-usually colorful backdropfor the men in suits on theirway to work.

These people have gath-ered themselves near the epi-center of American greed tomake the point that they aresick of the political systembeing influenced by corpora-tions.

They are sticking it to theman by sitting near policebarricades, setting up tents,leaving parks by dusk andflaunting homemade signs.This is all fine and well, butthey’re going to have toleave eventually.

As time passes, their num-bers will become less andless while their remainingmembers become less andless -- hygienic. Sooner orlater, the jobless protesterswill look, well, jobless.

In life, we are almost al-ways given more than oneroad. I can either determinethat finding a job and work-ing hard to succeed is great,or I can decide that there’s abetter chance I’ll succeed atoverthrowing the systemsometime during a month ofpeaceful demonstration.

I’m all for protest, but I’malso all for the potential ofthe American dream.

The idea of having compa-

nies influence politicians isterrifying -- if I view headingsuch a corporation as sys-tematically impossible.

It might be improbable forme to succeed to the pointwhere I become one of thosemen in suits who carries abriefcase to and from hislunch date with a congress-man, but the point is that itis still possible.

If I can make it to thatpoint, shouldn't I be able touse my money as I please?And if not, is a society thatregulates how I spendearned money the type of so-ciety I would want to live in?

Corporations get treatedlike people because they’remanifestations of people’sprogress, and I wouldn’thave it any other way.

Nothing bothers me morethan when somebody’s doingbetter than I, but being beatdoesn’t mean I take myselfout of the game. Instead, I

look at what they’re doingand try to do it better.

This is the Americandream, a dream that’s stillvery much alive.

My ability to succeed is en-tirely dependent on myself.Granted there are roughpatches here and there andgranted my life might bemore difficult than someoneelse’s, but nonetheless, I stillhave the basic pieces neces-sary to play the game.

The demonstrators in NewYork City have decided thatthey’re better off giving upthan becoming part of thesystem and making changesfrom within.

I can understand the frus-tration of the demonstrators,but the day you see me outthere is the day the Ameri-can dream is truly lost.

NYC protests: The easy way out

Matt SevernsSpectrum Staff

This is not a surprise tosome of you, but “The LionKing,” the original, is backon the big screen. I knowthe vast majority of womenreading this are jumpingaround and hyperventilat-ing at such fantastic newswhile whimpering thewords, “I love that movie! Ilove that movie!” Men areprobably doing the samething, but in secret. “TheLion King” was loved andstill is loved by all.

I have not seen the moviesince I was super young, butI treated myself and went tothe movie on Friday nightwith friends. The friend Iwas sitting by during themovie started to whisperphilosophies about certainscenes in the movie, hiddenphilosophies I haven’t eventhought of or that I passedby when I watched thismovie as a little tyke.

It turns out that one of themost beloved Disney movies

of all time played out likethis: Simba obeyed a higherauthority as a child. His daddied and the emotionaltrauma caused him to turnto relativism and leave au-thority while chilling withTimon and Pumba. Rela-tivism is the “do whateveryou want and don’t worryabout anything - make upyour own truth” kind of at-titude. Simba, though seem-ingly satisfied with this newlife, was not happy. Eventu-ally, he ran back to the tran-scendent power of authorityto become king and washappy again.

When my friend whis-pered those philosophies tome as I watched the movie,I was in shock. I fell in lovewith the Disney classic evenmore because I don’t likerelativism. It never works.During this dark time in theU.S., when relativism is astandard, it seems back-wards that so many peoplelove a movie that is againstrelativism and cheers forobedience to a higher, tran-scendent authority. “The

Lion King” actuallyscreams at the audience tosuck it up, stop being selfishand believe in somethingabsolute, none of this wishy-washy garbage that rela-tivism has to offer.

I don’t think we shouldarrange our lives based onthe philosophies of Disneymovies. In fact, that seemspretty silly, but in thismovie’s case, it wouldn’thurt. Actually, you canlearn a bunch from Disneymovies, especially the oldones. They make evil lookreally evil and make goodlook really good.

In any case, I thought itwise to share the greatphilosophies of “The LionKing.” It is a fantasticmovie to model your lifeafter. I want to apologize toall the relativists out therewho used to love “The LionKing” and are now upsetthat their favorite Disneymovie has become stale. Ab-solute truth hurts.

Going into the bye week,the football team wasranked sixth in the FCSCoaches Poll. Most of thetime, coaches could care lesswhat they are ranked anddon’t even know what theyare unless they’re receivingfirst place votes. Our com-mander-in-chief, Craig Bohl,is usually the same way, buteven Bohl was surprisedwhen the Bison dropped six– yes six – spots in the pollsthis week.

We were sixth in the pollheading into our bye week,and magically after a byeweek we dropped six spots.Here’s something to thinkabout other teams who wereidle this week: GeorgiaSouthern remained at thetop spot; Conference foeNorthern Iowa remained atthe njumber two spot with a1-1 record; New Hampshirewas ranked 12th last weekand they moved up one spot;and Southern Illinois was atthe 15 spot and is nowranked 13th.

After reading that para-graph, the appropriate reac-tion is, “what the hell?”That’s what mine was afterseeing the press release. Oh,I forgot to mention the bestpart, the school to our north,who has one win over a non-scholarship school in Drake(Iowa), cracked the top 25coming off a loss.

What’s the reason for themix-up? One explanationcould be that the coachesaren’t giving us any votesthis week for scheduling twocupcake games to open upthe season. A reason UNDsurprisingly broke into thetop 25 could be that theirloss was a narrow one-pointdefeat against FBS schoolFresno State.

The popular rumor, andthe only logical explanationI can come to terms with, isthat the coaches gave UNDour votes and we got theirvotes, which is why wedropped six spots becausetheir football program is softand non-deserving of a top25 spot.

Any coach will say that thepolls don’t matter and thatthey’re focused on the taskahead, which for us is a giantbattle against Minnesota atTCF Bank Stadium, butconsider this: In Bohl’s pressconference Monday, histhoughts were on the move.“We went down?” CoachBohl stated. “Wow. I don’tvote. I used to vote so I keptmore track of that.”

With arguably the biggestgame on the schedule thisseason, this surprises eventhe head coach. Whateverthe reason is for the shift, itwon’t be revealed. The onlyway to right it is to earn an-other victory in the cities.

With a win against the Go-phers, I wouldn’t be shockedto see us in the top five. Evenwith a loss, I don’t feel we’lldrop below 12, because Ithink there has definitelybeen a mistake made. Hope-fully this will all be mutedwith a win Saturday, but youhave to wonder for the timebeing what was going onwhen the voting points werebeing tallied.


Somethingdoesn’tadd up

Headed into the final daysbefore the Bison travel toMinneapolis for their datewith the Minnesota GoldenGophers, first-year HeadCoach Jerry Kill was com-plimentary of the Bison pro-gram.

"You don't have to con-vince me and tell me howhard those son-of-a-bucksare going to play," Kill said."That's a subject that does-n't need to be discussed. Iknow they are going to playtheir best game, and I knowthey are going to play hard."

It is that lunch pail atti-tude that the Bison programis famous for that will ulti-mately give NDSU their bestchance to win Saturday.

The key to the game willstart and end with the defen-sive line, particularly thatgroup's ability to keep pres-sure in the offensive back-field to force Gopherquarterback Marqueis Grayto throw the ball rather thandefer to his dangerous run-ning game. With an unprece-dented amount of depthalong the defensive front

seven, both linemen andlinebackers, the Bison de-fense will need to bring itsbest game to force the line-backer-esque Gray off bal-ance.

Offensively, the challengefor the Bison is one that theteam has not faced in sometime. The Gopher defensehas struggled at times thisseason, but despite thosestruggles against fairlyvanilla competition, the Go-phers still rank in the tophalf of the Big Ten in rushdefense, forcing teams tothrow the ball rather thangrind it out on the ground.

NDSU's offense is predi-cated on a powerful rushingattack led by senior DJ Mc-Norton, which makes tryingto game-plan difficult. Evenwith the depth the Bisonenjoy at the rusher position,

bolstered by backup SamOjuri and Derrick Lang, theoffensive key for an NDSUvictory will be for sopho-more quarterback BrockJensen to deliver a sterlingperformance.

Jensen's improvementshave been notable so far thisseason, but this Saturdaywill mark the sophomore’sfirst game against a FootballBowl Subdivision opponent.

"While there wasn't any

guy on this squad whoplayed in the [2007] game[against Minnesota], wehave guys who playedagainst other FBS oppo-nents," Bison Head CoachCraig Bohl said of this year'steam. "There's going to be agreat deal of emotion, we re-alize that. This game's goingto be won on execution, notemotion."

With one of the most excit-ing matchups of the season

kicking off Saturday, all thatremains is for the team to re-main collected and to realizethat NDSU is a school thatbelongs on the nationalstage. With a bulk of the ros-ter already having experi-ence taking down an FBSschool in Kansas last season,the national stage should benothing new to this team.

People say that volunteer-ing is one of the most re-warding things a person cando in their life. People alsosay that playing football fora Division-I school is amaz-ing and shows that the per-son is resilient andhard-working. Billy Turner,sophomore offensive tacklefor the Bison, does both ofthese things.

Obviously being a stu-dent-athlete is time consum-ing, but Turner found timeto volunteer with a littleextra incentive to do it. “Ihad to do a communityservice project for a class,”Turner stated. “Big Brother,you see commercials andadvertisements for themeverywhere, so I looked upto see if they had one inFargo and they did.”

After finding that Fargohad a program, Turner hadto find out what it is andhow to get involved. “Icalled one of the people upthere and I was talking tothem a little bit to see if Icould get an interview setup,” Turner said. “I got theinterview set up and I gotthe position for the volun-teering, and right nowthey’re in the process offinding a child for me tohang out with and mentor.”

Once lined up with achild, Turner will act as apositive role model in thatchild’s life. “[I will be] goingup to the school once ortwice a week and spendingan hour or two with one ofthe kids that they select forme,” Turner said. “It’s ob-viously a kid that either hasproblems in school or in thefamily life. It’s just up at theschool an hour or two a day,depending on my schedule.”

Turner only needs a fewhours of service for hisclass, but has decided thatmore is better. “It’s a year-long contract, which is nicebecause I only need aboutfive or ten hours for theclass,” Turner added. “Imight as well just do a yearcontract to give back to thecommunity.”

It’s Turner’s first time

volunteering for this pro-gram, but not his first timevolunteering. “I’ve donesome volunteer work at theSalvation Army up here,”Turner mentioned. “I’venever volunteered with anactual child like this, so I’minterested to see how itgoes.”

The child that Turner getspaired with will receive arole model and mentoring,but Turner hopes to receivesomething as well. “Just tobetter the child’s life,”Turner said. “Just to showhim just because you havefamily problems at home,doesn’t mean you have tohave family problems out-side of home. Just for thatchild to know that his fu-ture could still be bright,minus what’s going on in hisfamily life.”
