History Day can be an enrichingexperience for a history student’s

not just exclusively discussed bythe conspiracy theorists, but wasalso discussed by an organizationknown as the Mid-West DebateBureau that published a book onthe subject.The book basically said that the

conclusion of the debate overworld government was that aworld government needed to beformed to maintain the peace afterthe invention of the atomic bomb.

This goes to show that theworld government theory isn’tjust a conspiracy theory, but apotentially very serious thing thatwas actually considered (andcould be still considered by somein politics even to this day).Therefore I think we need to

always be vigilant of those whowant to take away our individualnational sovereignty even today.I think we should heed the

words of Dan Smoot written onpage 78 of his book, “The InvisibleGovernment,” published in 1962.He wrote that, “Nowadays, whentwo or more nations amalgamatetheir economic, political, andsocial systems they necessarilytake the lowest common denomi-nator of freedom rather than thehighest.”I agree with Dan Smoot. World

government would most likely

end in slavery rather than worldpeace.We need to realize that in

today’s highly technologicalworld, global government isn’tjust an “out there” conspiracy the-ory, but it could be (if we aren’tcareful in maintaining our nation-al sovereignty against globalism) avery real threat.

On MoviesʻOlympus Has Fallenʼ

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

In the war of 1812, the Britishinvaded the White House andburned it down. In 2013 it has hap-pened again in this film.“Olympus Has Fallen” stars

Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart,Angela Bassett, Rick Yune andMorgan Freeman. It is directed byAntoine Fuqua and rated “R” forstrong violence and strong lan-guage.Mike Banning (Butler) is the

former lead Secret Service agentwho is demoted after a terribleincident in which he savesPresident Benjamin Asher(Eckhart), but fails to save his wife.Now working at the TreasuryDepartment, Banning only wishesthat he would be given a second

chance. On this particular day,everything seems to be goingsmoothly with the meeting of thePresident and the South KoreanPrime Minister. That is, until anattack by North Korean soldierswho manage to infiltrate the WhiteHouse and cause extreme damage.The leader of the invaders,

Kang Yeonsak (Yune), has takenthe president hostage and statedhis demands to the head of theSecret Service, Lynne Jacobs(Bassett) and Speaker of the House,Allan Trumbull (Freeman), who isnow the acting president in the sit-uation.During the attack, Banning

manages to infiltrate the WhiteHouse. Now, with nearly the fateof the world at stake, Banningmust use his skills and intellect tooutsmart Kang’s skilled soldiersand save the president of theUnited States of America.I was first mixed with the idea

of the film. The director, Antoine

Fuqua, is best known for themovies “Training Day” and “Tearsof the Sun,” which were both verygood. However, there have beenmany action films that had eitheran invasion or a hostage situationinvolved, so I was a bit skeptical onhow this would be different. I willsay, though, that the action keptmy interest up. I have to give themsome credit as they do manage tomake the gunfights in the moviepretty intense.How much can this situation be

real, though, is another question. Itis not impossible for somethinglike this to happen, but the filmdoes sometimes leave a little bit ofplot holes and does not explainsome certain elements of the story.The main villain is somewhat typi-cal as the foreign invader trying todestroy America and the freeworld and things like that. RickYune does a good job of makingthe villain Kang interesting andscary. While the character is noth-

ing new or original, he does keepthe flow of the movie going.Now for our hero. Since the

film, “300,” Gerard Butler’s filmlist has a nice blend that containsaction, romantic comedies andeven an animated film. In my opin-ion, he gives us a strong perform-ance in this film. I am glad thatthey didn’t just focus on the actionscenes he was in, but the scenesthat show more insight into hischaracter. Likewise with the mainvillain.The main character does share

some qualities with past actioncharacters such as trying to savethe day and everything. We do getto see how this is not just simplydoing his duty, but how in manyways this has become personal tohim.Aaron Eckhart does a good job

with characters with the talent ofpublic speaking, like playing Two-Face from “The Dark Knight.” Hischaracter makes it so in a way you

root for him without the idea ofwhat political party he is in.Morgan Freeman and AngelaBassett also give good performanc-es as their characters try to helpButler’s character take back theWhite House. The action scenesand acting were no problem for meas they were enjoyable.There were specific moments

that I could have easily predictedwhat was going to happen, mostlydue to watching many action filmsof the 80’s and 90’s. This did notbother me too much, but it mightbother some people who were hop-ing and expecting something newand different. While some of theideas are unoriginal and a plot holeor two are noticeable, I think thatfilm can be enjoyed (and at least itis not in 3D).Taken seriously “Olympus Has

Fallen” would be 3 out of 5Beavers; if not taken seriously,then I rate it 4 out of 5 Beavers.

Long-time rock band Fall OutBoy is back at it again. Formingback in 2001, Fall Out Boy laiddown a definitive musical careercomplete with four albums andfour EPs to their name. The span ofthe band laid down an all-but-completely accomplished careerthat each member of the bandcould retire with a clear consciousof having done "it." Whatever "it"usually signifies when referred to

generally in the clichéd fashion,they had definitely reached it andleft their mark on the rock scene ofthe 2000s. End of story; end of col-umn.Then came 2012. Rumors began

to circulate that the boys were upto something. Directly from BeauBoken, a member ofScreamo/Rock band Blessthefall[but like, the actual genre ofscreamo ... not just the general,misused term to incorrectly lumpall genres within hardcore musictogether], came out on Twitter tosay that Fall Out Boy was officiallyworking on a new project. Quick toreply, all the members in the banddenounced such claims and man-

agement sought out the lead vocal-ist, Boken, to remove the tweet.Rather than suppressing the grow-ing rumors, this just made peopleall the more curious. Plottingbehind the scenes still for the restof the year, it wasn't until my ownbirthday on Feb. 4, 2013, that theband came to officially announcethe workings of a new album.In addition to officially ending

their hiatus came announcementsof a tour and a good ol' fashionedburning of their older albums.When I say old fashioned, I mean itin the literal sense, because theyactually did so at the exact locationof Chicago's own Comiskey Parkwhere the Steve Dahl-induced

Disco Demolition Night took placeback in 1979. Having his own backstory of growing up and becominga successful radio DJ off rockmusic, it all started for him whenhe broke up with his then-girl-friend who, rather than merelydumping him, instead hooked himup with a radio job on the otherside of the country.From there, he worked his way

up to a top spot on a huge Chicagoradio station. Then Disco hap-pened. He was out of his job asquickly as he had risen into it.Years of anti-disco talk on a muchlesser-known radio station, heorganized what he thought wouldbe a fun joke for a select few people

at the most. To his utter surprise,people flocked in the figures oftens of thousands. This fatefulnight that went down as the DiscoDemolition Night, had huge rippleeffects into the music industry atthe time.So, with a similar burning of

records, Fall Out Boy put on theirown album-burning event.Furthermore, they released theirfirst single, "My Songs KnowWhatYou Did In The Dark (Light EmUp)." Fans were just as confused asthey were excited to hear some-thing new from the band. In themusic video, they had more burn-ing of their past records, complete

There once was a countrycalled the United States ofAmerica. It was one of theyoungest countries in the world,but also one of the greatest. It hada unique and effective govern-ment, a strong economy thatencouraged people from allaround to be successful, a militarythat was feared by any and allwho opposed it, a people that wasstrong, proud, hard-working andloyal and its leader, known as thepresident of the United States,was once considered to be thestrongest man in the world. Thensomething happened.No one knows for sure what it

was or exactly when it happened.If it was the terrorist attacks onSept. 11, 2001 or a series of eventsthat took place over the course ofa few decades, but whatever itwas, it changed the United States.The once-impressive govern-

ment became the target of mock-ery and contempt by the people,the military was shrinking in size

and suffering from questionableleadership, the once-strong,proud, hard-working and loyalpeople had become weak, lazy,dependent and faithless; weakbecause people had become sodivided on issues in society, lazyand dependent because peopleexpected the government to givethem everything and faithlessbecause people had lost faith inthe government, the society andthe president.The presidents became a reflec-

tion of the people and govern-ment’s poor demeanor instead ofthe leaders the country needed.The United States of America wasfalling apart. They were no longerunited but divided states, andsoon even the capital “A” inAmerica was too heavy a burdenon the people to say and Americabecame ‘Merica.In the year 2012, the United

States was stricken with a series ofharsh times. From economic hard-ships due to a shopaholic govern-ment, millions of people out ofwork, the fighting in the MiddleEast that no one knew the reasonfor, to talk of another impending

war that would surely be far dead-lier than any since WWII. Threatsfrom domestic and foreign terror-ists were common, the country’sdefenses were scattered, big busi-nesses and government employ-ees found loopholes in laws andused them to commit despicablecrimes. The list goes on and on.Everyday something bad washappening either at home orabroad.The people of the U.S. were los-

ing morale. Some sought out reli-gion as a way of dealing with suchtimes, others sought out simplerthings and some saw death as ameans to an end. Things were bad;there was no denying that. Whatmade things worse, though, wasnothing could be done to changeit. People felt like the governmenthad become too powerful to chal-lenge, and those who wanted towere few and far between. Anypolitical movements or proteststhat occurred gathered no mediaattention or were too miniscule totruly spark a change. What didgrab media attention were all thenegative things that took placeand people’s reactions to them.

One of the most memorableevents was a school shooting justbefore Christmas. That day, 27people died, including the mur-derer. The gunman was a mental-ly unstable teen who killed hisown mother to gain access to sev-eral guns and used them to goshoot up an elementary school.This came after several other massshootings took place throughoutthe country. Many blamed the gunlaws and even the guns them-selves, but loopholes in laws andguns don’t kill people, peoplewith a motive and psychologicaldisturbances kill people.After this event, gun laws

became the new means of divid-ing an already divided country.People began to lose focus. Gunsales went through the roof assome feared the governmentwould outlaw guns despite itbeing against the Constitution todo so. Others just wanted to beprotected from what seemed likean increasing number of madmen.Then businesses like newspapersand gun shops began going toextreme and dangerous measuresto stop crime on their own.

Shops were buying back gunsand one newspaper went so far asto post the names and addressesof people in a local county wholegally owned guns. They claimedit was “public knowledge,” butthey failed to realize how manylives they had just put in dangerby doing so. It’s often when peo-ple react emotionally to a situationthat rash and dangerous decisionsare made, and when poor deci-sions and cruel intentions meet,bad things happen. Such eventseven spurred schools into actioncalling for teachers to be armedwith guns.Another poor decision made in

response to a highly emotionalevent. Many thought it would be agood idea, but no one saw thatputting guns in schools was likeadding gas tanks to a wildfire.There are kids in schools acrossthe country just waiting for thatopportunity to grab that gun andkill the teacher they dislike or thekid who always bullies them.People didn’t see that if schools

National title and 2 degrees didnʼt come easilyby Jamie Council

Staff WriterIf anyone has ever gone to an

ice rink, there is always that onekid that looks like they’re just oldenough to start walking, yetalready can skate circles aroundthe average ice skater. Nigel Dubewas that kid.“I started skating young, when

I was 3 or 4,” Dube said. “I hadtwo older brothers that playedhockey, so it was fitting for me tobe born in skates.”Nigel Dube, from Lampman,

Sask., now a senior at Minot StateUniversity, is the captain of the2012-2013 men’s hockey club teamthat won the ACHA Division 1National title. The day Dube got toraise the Murdock Cup was one ofthe proudest moments in his life,but it was a series of mishaps thatmade that moment possible.While playing for the Camrose

Kodiaks in the AJHL, a juniorhockey league, Dube had toundergo two reconstructive shoul-der surgeries.“All the scholarship talks

ended after that,” Dube said.In his final year of juniors,

meant to be a banner year forplayers, Dube only played in 14games. However, he still managedto put up 5 assists. After juniors,Nigel had a tough decision tomake.He hadn’t taken Minot State

University into considerationbefore. However, given his cir-cumstances, it was worth theopportunity to keep playing, andit was close by.“Being from just north of the

border, I always heard of MinotState,” Dube said.When he looked into the

school, MSU seemed to fit hisneeds, both as a hockey playerand as a student. The style ofhockey, “Beaver hockey” as peo-ple say, matched Dube’s style ofplay in the rink, and the smallschool setting met his needs in the

classroom.“The small school setting is

really good. It’s what I like forschool,” Nigel said “I don’t likethe big school where you’re num-ber 350 in a 400-person class.(MSU) was really fitting.”In his first season as a Beaver,

Dube put up 31 points, scoring sixgoals and making 25 assists. Afterthree years at MSU, Dube com-pleted his corporate fitness degreeand decided to leave Minot inhopes of reaching the next level inhockey. However, the NHL lock-out resulted in players filteringdown in leagues, and after someinvestigating, Dube also found outthat some leagues weren’t fulfill-ing his expectations.“After doing some research, it

wasn’t as sweet as it sounded, andthe pay wasn’t as sweet in someleagues as everyone made itseem,” Dube said.When he reached the decision

to come back to the Magic City, hecontacted head coachWade Regierand requested a more prominentrole. The senior defenseman

became the captain,the strength and con-ditioning coach andthe director of com-munity outreach forthe Beavers.Dube led the team

to Minot State’s firstACHANational Titlein the team’s 17 yearsof existence. He alsoreceived first teamhonors in the nation-al tournament. It’shard to imagine thisyear without theskater Dube’s leader-ship on and off theice.Personally, stu-

dent Dube earnedhis second degree inphysical education.“Double majoring

in four years withthat opportunity is

now a no-brainer. Why I didn’timmediately think that is anotherthing, but I’m just happy I cameback.”This year has influenced

Dube’s future goals. He made thedecision to hang up his skates andput his double major to good use.“It’s just one of those things

where you never want to give upthe dream, but now realizingwhere I’m at with this degree, I’mretiring.”Dube’s career goal is to be a

coach for juniors, but he firstneeds to build his résumé up andcomplete student teaching. Hewants to utilize his personal train-ing certification and physical edu-cation degree.“Being more versatile with the

phys. ed. degree, personal trainingand coaching all go hand-in-handreally well, so just to have thatopportunity one day to be hope-fully on the main stage in thecoaching department,” Dube said.By August, he hopes to land a

coaching job with a U-16 team in

Alberta, Canada.“It’s the next step in me coach-

ing junior hockey. I’ve coached theyoung guys, so this is the in-between league.”He will graduate this May and

move back to Canada to completehis student teaching and start hiscoaching career.While he has so much to look

forward to, this year is a year thatNigel Dube will never forget.

Last week, the Minot StateUniversity Sociology Club host-ed an open forum on affordablehousing. The discussion wasopen to students, faculty, staffand the general public. Fiveguest panelists answered ques-tions during the hour-long ses-sion.The panel included Devin

McCall, MSU Director of StudentLife, Richard Jenkins, MSU VicePresident of Student Affairs,Dave Pankow, Minot PlanningCommission chair, GeorgeWithus, a City Council memberand Tom Pearson, ExecutiveDirector of the Minot HousingAuthority.The sociology club had held

an open forum one year ago.“We wanted to find out what

was actually going on with the

effects of the flood. What wefound out was that the city wason a halt. A lot of things (dis-cussed) last year were buildingpermits,” Jolita Bennett, sociolo-gy club president, said.In other words, last year,

Minot was stuck in limbo. Thisyear, topics at the forumdiverged in a different direction.“We wanted to see what else

could be affecting affordablehousing. This year, it’s lack ofaffordable housing. We tried totarget questions that would bepertaining to students and stu-dents that are graduating,”Bennett said.“We wanted to find a way to

keep them here and, of course,with no affordable housing,they’re opting to leave versusfinding a job and staying.“We were gearing questions

to find out how we could help

MSU students find housing inMinot,” she said.Other questions the club and

community members asked dealtwith the development process.“People don’t see why it’s not

affordable, and that’s one of thethings we wanted to address,”she said.Minot’s solution to this prob-

lem is to continue the buildingprocess.“It makes sense, because if

there’s no supply then thedemand’s really high,” Bennettsaid. “We got a lot of questionsthat were answered that wererenter-based as well as home-owning-based.”The sociology club plans to

hold two similar forums nextschool year. Tentatively, theywant to have one in the fall andthe other in the spring of the fol-lowing academic year.

consecutive weekend of canceledgames, the Beavers agreed to playtwo neutral-site matches in SiouxFalls against the Winona StateWarriors. Minot State was unableto shake off the rust from a 12-daylayoff and dropped both games ofthe doubleheader, losing 8-2 ingame one and 8-6 in game two.

Poor defense played a criticalrole in the Beaver’s demise. Theycommitted a total of nine errorsbetween the two games, con-tributing toward seven unearnedWarrior runs.Game one starter Jesse

Goertzen had a strong start forMinot State despite taking theloss, yielding just two earned runsand recording four strikeoutsthrough six innings of work.Offensively, the Beavers were heldto just five hits, with both MSUruns scoring on a late-inning 2 RBIdouble from A.J. Begay.The Beaver bats responded in

game two, a seesaw affair that fea-tured five separate lead changes.Minot State pounded out ninehits, led by seniors Mike Turcotteand Mitch Olson, who each hadtwo hits and scored two runs.Head coach Brock Weppler

expressed disappointment withthe performance of his team afterthe game.“Some days we play well and

some days we don't, and when wedon't, we are an average team atbest,” Weppler told MSU SportsInformation. “We need to playmore consistent.”
