New Jacks move in during Meet State weekend

Collegian photo by FRANKIE HERRERA

ANDREW RASMUSSEN AND J. MICHAEL BERTSCH News Editors With just days before their first class, incoming freshmen began moving in Friday with a

warm welcome from university leaders, athletes and volunteers.

New Jackrabbits were greeted by a swarm of blueshirted volunteers excited to make the move-in experience as painless as possible.

“This morning [Friday, Aug. 23] we got pretty busy. Within the first hour, we had over 100 people move in,” said Nathaniel Condelli, Binnewies residence hall director. “Now it’s trickling in rather than swamped.”

In Young Hall, Meet State staff played music for families entering the residence hall.

“The first thing that stands out is how contagious the energy is,” Sami Gortmaker, an admissions ambassador, said. “I

was thinking the pep was going to die down after hour one or hour two, but we are on hour three now and we are doing alright.”

A3 NEWS South Dakota State adds new business school this fall sdsucollegian.com @sdsucollegian August 28, 2019

GINA GOBLIRSCH Copy Editor South Dakota State University is adding the Ness School of Management and Economics to its list of colleges and departments. This new school offers economics, business economics, entrepreneurship, agriculture business, agriculture economics and other related majors.

After advocating for almost a decade, professor Eluned Jones, now the director of the school, led the way to the creation of SDSU’s new business school.

The new department will allow business students to come to SDSU knowing that they will receive a great education for an affordable price.

This program also creates

opportunities for business students to expand their education and receive a master’s degree.

“Coming from an accredited business school will give you so many more opportunities, like getting your master’s from an accredited business school,” Ryan McKnight, instructor of management and law classes, said about the new school.

McKnight also explained that SDSU will rival in-state schools such as Northern State University, the University of South Dakota and Black Hills State University “We’ve always known we have a great business program,” McKnight said, “But now we are actually a business school.”

An official title for SDSU’s business program will hopefully draw more students than

ever before.

Additionally, many hope the college will make SDSU’s master’s program for business economics more renowned, which was added to the program just last year.

“I think it is a great stepping stone for people interested in SDSU,” Brandi Platz, a sociology major said. “Having a new home for the business school at SDSU makes people more excited about joining clubs, being involved and growing in their education.”

Thanks to the First Dakota National Bank eTrading Lab, business students will expand their learning opportunities exponentially. For example, the Investment Club will be using the lab to invest real money in the stock market.

For the first time ever, the lab will be in Harding Hall.

The lab houses 18 desktop computers and a student capacity of 36.

“There’s a real thirst for

knowledge among our students,” McKnight said. “You start teaching kids stuff they actually want to learn, they get invested, no pun intended.”

Students’ Association aims to prioritize issues surrounding transportation, wellness and tailgating ANDREW RASMUSSEN News Editor Students’ Association leaders spent this summer working on the implementation of various programs and initiatives funded by an increase to the general activity fee (GAF) as part of the strategic plan, Imagine 2023.

This year’s students have seen an increase of $4.35 per credit hour to their tuition to provide funding for university programs and projects.

Transportation A top priority for the Students’ Association’s executive board, a committee comprised of the president, vice president, communications chair, finance chair and government affairs chair, is addressing

transportation concerns on and off campus.

Initial plans for 2019 funded the establishment of a bus route for students to utilize that would run through Brookings with various stops on campus.

Plans for this service have been put on hold due to local issues outside of the university. A pilot program was originally set to run this school year but has been postponed.

“Now we just have to work cooperatively with the city of Brookings and BATA to move forward,” Students’ Association President Allyson Monson said.

Another ride-sharing service slated to start this fall has been pushed to a later date.

Ride-sharing bikes were set to be up and running for the fall

semester, but the initial company, VioRide, was unable to provide the needed technology for SDSU. Following a bidding process, another company will be selected to provide this service to students on campus.

Students’ Association leadership hopes to have the program running in the spring.

Wellness Students will be seeing additional wellness services this semester as a result of the additional GAF dollars.

“All of the other wellness allocations are in place, so the Wellness Center has expanded hours during the semester.

All of the fitness classes are free to students,” Students’

Association Communications Chair Nick Lorang said.

The SDSU Wellness Center has expanded its hours to 5 a.m.-11 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a few exceptions, according to the Wellness Center website. Weekend hours vary by week.

An additional counselor position is in the process of being implemented.

Student Organizations St u d e nt o rga n i z a t i o n funding is also on the list of priorities for the Students’ Association.

“With a decrease in enrollment, we have less GAF dollars to give to student organizations,” Monson said. “The Athletics Department is actually helping

us identify more areas in which student organizations can go and fundraise.”

Tailgating The student experience at tailgating events is also a topic of conversation within Students’ Association leadership.

“We met recently with the University Police Department, creating that to be an environment students are attracted to and want to take part in while maintaining the safety of our students,” Monson said.

SA leadership is also having conversations with SDSU dining services and the athletics department to allow students to use their flex dollars at Dana J. Dykhouse and other sporting arenas.

Changes brew at SDSU: New ways to caffeinate on campus SAMMI SCHRAG Agriculture Reporter Over the summer, campus coffee shops have relocated and made multiple renovations.

Starbucks and Einstein Bros. Bagels expanded their facilities in hopes of creating more foot traffic and a better student experience.

Relocated to the Southeast University Neighborhood, the new, full-service Starbucks employs about 25 students and is open year-round.

The restaurant is packed with charging stations, which was a top priority during construction. Open from 6 a.m.-9 p.m, the space will stay open until midnight to be used as a lounge area for students living in the complex.

dent experience,” according to Doug Wermedal, Associate Vice President of Student Affairs.

Wermedal said Starbucks has already made an impact on Brookings.

“Sort of like the Wellness Center and arts and athletic events on campus, this is a place

where campus and community meet, which is one of my favorite parts.”

He said the university tries to connect to the Brookings community as much as possible.

Turns out, SDSU graduates are everywhere.

“The store reports to someone who did their undergrad here at SDSU, so that’s really cool,” Wermedal said.

Across campus, Einstein Bros. Bagels is set to reopen during the week of Sept. 2 with an expanded kitchen, two new coolers and three cash registers.

“SDSU had the top performing Einsteins location on a college campus in the nation — all with one point of sale,” according to Wermedal.

The goal of the renovation expansion project was to improve the flow of customers for the students that utilize the space.

MOVE IN Freshman students were excited to be able to experience college life.

“I’m excited for a kind of a change and a difference,” said freshman agriculture business student Blake Olson.

Blake’s mother, Darla Olson, said her son is ready for college, but will miss the home-cooked meals.

It’s not just students who are excited about the new year.

Parents like Allisa and Troy Wendland were there to help with the move-in and introduction to SDSU. Troy Wendland was eager to get the move-in process going, joking that the family was “happy to get rid of ” his daughter, Madelyn.

Allisa had a lone concern about her daughter starting school at South Dakota State: “I’m not worried about anything but her not missing me.”

After the move, the students receive a warm welcome to life as a Jackrabbit. With the First Night at State to kick off the weekend, as well as picnics, tours and dances, students will come to know the campus and their fellow students.

“Just do the thing that you want to do,” Gortmaker said.

“It will pay our in the long run and open you up to a lot more opportunities than if you stay hesitant and stay locked in.”

Three key tips to survive freshman year PAYTON PIERCE Public Relations Director Adjusting to college life can be a daunting task, but there are a few things that can take away the stress

of being new to college.

These tips and tricks can help you get acclimated faster and get the most out of your first year at SDSU, both in classes and in the community.



Sit toward the front of the classroom. Sitting in the back will make the class much harder to pay attention to.



Introduce yourself to professors in all your classes. They’re not as scary as you might think; they want to help you.



Attend supplemental instruction (SI) or tutoring sessions if offered. It never hurts to get more help.



Get to know the people sitting around you in class — one day you will be grateful. Your fellow peers will be the ones you can study with and get notes from if you are absent.



Read your textbooks! Your books help immensely with exams and understanding the material.



If you are prone to headaches, whether it’s from spending hours on an essay or in lecture, invest in a pair of blue light glasses to use while staring at an electronic screen.



Keep an eye on your Flex money. It can get low quickly.



Get involved — find your niche and use it to make connections and have fun! School isn’t just about studying.



Take advantage of the free resources on campus. For example: the exercise classes offered at the Wellness Center, resume builders, the Writing Center, Speech Center and on-campus therapists.



Embrace dorm life — getting out of your comfort zone can lead to making new friends and expand your horizons with your interests.



Get to know as many people as possible, whether in class or around campus. Never again will you be surrounded by so many people of the same age with varying views, opinions and life experiences.

Participate in activities and form relationships that make you feel uncomfortable. Growth is difficult when you don’t step out of your comfort zone.

Get involved in the community and take time to get off campus. For example, there’s half-off sushi at Sake on Monday nights!



EDITORIAL Issue: More people care about Jeff Bezos’ Amazon than Mother Nature’s It’s been more than three weeks since the Amazon Rainforest caught fire. However, it hasn’t been until recently that the general public has been aware of the destruction.

Thanks to social media, specifically Twitter, this has now been a hot topic amongst the general population.

W h i l e i t h a s re ce nt l y gained interest, this isn’t a new phenomenon this year.

In 2019, according to Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE), there have been 74,155 fires – a majority of which started in the Amazon Rainforest.

According to the National Public Radio, around half of those fires have started in the last month.

The total number of fires in Brazil has skyrocketed 80% and is the most since 2013 – the same year the INPE started taking data.

The trees in the Amazon produce approximately 2 billion tons of oxygen, or 20% of Earth’s oxygen supply.

Not only does the fire affect the rainforest, it is also impacting Brazilian cities.

On Aug. 19, the sky of São Paulo, a city that is more than 1,700 miles away from the Amazon Rainforest, turned dark at 2 p.m. While the smoke over the city was found to be a product of the weather’s cold fronts, it still caused concern among citizens.

The visible effects go beyond Brazil’s biggest city. NASA satellites

have been able to show smoke from the Amazon fires.

However, the destruction of the Amazon benefits some.

Mikaela Weisse, a manager at the World Resources Institute, told the Washington Post that there is economic interest from soybean growers and cattle grazers.

Weisse also concluded that the Amazon Rainforest “confirms the idea that it’s mostly due to humans.”

The article went on to say that “mining, timber and development firms are also eyeing the region for expansion, encouraged by (Jair) Bolsonaro’s election.”

Since Bolsonaro’s election, he has championed for not protecting the rainforest and instead seeing

the area as a prospect for economic development.

At the G-7 meeting in France, countries proposed $22 million in relief on Monday, August 26, but Bolsonaro angrily rejected the help and demanded an apology from French President Emmanuel Macron.

On August 27, Brazil accepted $12 million in aid from the United Kingdom.

Despite the aid, the problem remains: we need to save the Amazon Rainforest.

How to be realistic when making a personal budget MACKENZIE SMITH Columnist Just like how New Year’s resolutions bring out the best intentions in people, creating a budget for the new school year can bring out the forward-thinking investor in you.

While commendable, is it realistic?

Make a budget using the ideas and tools we’ve mentioned in a previous issue and ask yourself the questions below to see if you need to make some changes. In short, a balanced budget accounts for all income and expenses with a positive or net zero balance at the end, and a good one makes

a plan for savings.

It’s all fine and dandy to say that you will get a job this semester and make an extra $100 a month, but until you have that job offer in hand, it’s better to be a little more stingy in the meantime. You might get a position that pays more, which means you can add more to your savings and late-night ice cream runs. But, be cautious about the competition among incoming students for jobs, as you might find yourself without a job for longer than you thought. Either way, it’s best to be prepared because you can revise your budget later when you know for what your circum-

stances are.

Being prepared for things to go wrong is extremely important. That six-year-old hand-me-down laptop will probably get you through another year, but you should probably set aside some emergency money in case it dies during finals week. We covered that with more information here, and the best budgets account for tomorrow’s expenses as well as today’s. Set your goal, create a time-line to hold yourself accountable and continually add funds in incremental amounts until you have reached your goal.

Making sure you have enough

money allocated to your car to cover gas and oil changes helps you know that those once-ina-while expenses won’t catch you unaware. Remember, your emergency fund is there to fund only real emergencies, not your midnight chocolate cravings.

A budget isn’t any good unless you follow it, and if your blood is mostly caffeine and you don’t make space for your Keurig, things can get dicey.

Falling apart in one aspect of the budget can throw everything else out of balance, and before you know it, you’re three pizza boxes deep into your next month’s rent. College finance plans don’t always leave a lot of room for error, so find a method

that helps you follow through with your plans. Some good recommendations are to write everything down, use cash if swiping a card is too easy for you and keep your budget updated to be as relevant to your situation as possible.

Remember that budgets are personalized things, so what works for you might not work for your roommate, and vice versa. Learning how to create a realistic budget and sticking to it is one of the best things you can do for your future.

Inappropriate banners on move-in day objectify females

Collegian photo by FRANKIE HERRERA

J. MICHAEL BERTSCH News/Lifestyles Editor On August 23, the SDSU class of 2023 was greeted by new, smiling faces and introduced to their new life on campus.

But later that evening,

students and their parents were forced to witness something less than inviting.

Throughout Brookings, nu m e ro u s h a n d - p a i nte d banners were hung on the front of houses with messages directed toward female students and their mothers.

The messages displayed phrases such as: “Mother daughter drop-off” and “moms drink free.”

This alternate form of catcalling objectifies over half the student population at SDSU, increases worry in both students and parents during move-in weekend, has no comedic value and will not increase one’s popularity with the opposite gender.

Over 5,700 students identify as female at SDSU, making up

52.6% of the student population.

The display of predatory banners in Brookings minimizes the identity of these thousands of students and equal them to personal exploits.

Additionally, though efforts of inclusion are generally seen as appreciated, the targeting of both students and parents communicates a message of desperation and further objectification.

One-in-five women in college report experiencing sexual assault. If that number was directly translated to the female population at SDSU, that equates to over 1,000 women being sexually assaulted in Brookings.

Though this isn’t a local statistic, a one-in-five likelihood of a horrible traumatizing

experience is not a comforting statistic for female students or their parents.

Move-in weekend is a stressful time for any incoming freshman and their family, and students and their parents should be worrying about how to organize a dorm room and what their classes will be like, not the mindset of male students on campus.

Think about it: these flags being mounted on houses call for incoming freshman girls to come to the house of a person they have never met. Though students may be going for a form of shock humor, this practice is far creepier and scarier than it is funny.

When searching for “Catcalling success rate” online, one may notice that nearly every

article out of the 273,000 results state a negative viewpoint on catcalling, or is labeled under “satire.”

For the purposes of this article, I felt it beneficial to conduct my own research. On my own Twitter account, I sent out a poll asking specifically: “has catcalling ever worked?”

Fifty accounts responded to the poll, with 48 saying no, catcalling has never worked.

There are many ways to express interest in a female student (or her mother); however, a spray painted flag mounted onto the side of a house is not a good idea.

SDSU football prepares for the 2019 season opener Thursday at the University of Minnesota. The Gophers are the Jacks’ first FBS opponent since 2016, and the schools play for the first time since 2009.

Jacks football opens at FBS opponent Thursday COLTON PRINCE Assistant Sports Editor Ranked No. 3 in the STATS Fo o t b a l l C h a m p i o n s h i p S u b d iv i s i o n p r e s e a s o n poll, South Dakota State University football will begin its 2019 campaign against the University of Minnesota.

The Jackrabbits’ matchup against Iowa State last season was canceled four minutes in due to severe weather, so this will be the first time since the 2016 season SDSU will play a full 60 minutes against a Football Bowl S u b d iv i s i o n o p p o n e n t .

Though the Jacks and Golden Gophers haven’t played since 2009, the regional connection and anticipation surrounding both team’s prospects for the season make for an intriguing matchup c o m e T h u rs d ay n i g h t.

“I think excitement comes

from the fact that it is a Big Ten school. A local Big Ten school. There are a bunch of Minnesota guys on our roster, so I think that recipe together creates excitement,” said SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier. “They are a level above us, so it is a challenge to go compete.”

A key difference from last year to this year will be who is taking snaps under center. J’Bore Gibbs, a redshirt freshman from Chicago, threw for 148 yards and a touchdown in the spring game and beat out junior Kanin Nelson and fellow redshirt freshman Matt Connors for the starting job.

After studying behind Taryn Christion all of last season, coach Stiegelmeier believes his new QB1 is ready.

“He had a great mentor in Taryn,” Stiegelmeier said.

“His personality is one of confidence, but not false confidence. Will he be better

in three weeks? Well, that’s our job. But is he where he needs to be right now? Yes.” With a trio of dynamic running backs to choose from, eyes are on the stacked backfield and what they can do to make life easier for the young quarterback.

Returning rushers Pierre Strong Jr, Mikey Daniel and C.J. Wilson will be used in ways that Jacks fans may not be accustomed to.

“We are gonna use guys for different plays,” Stiegelmeier explained. “We are going to use combinations of Mikey and Pierre, Pierre and C.J., one back with Luke Sellers at tailback. Everyone has a strength and we are going to play to their strengths.”

Minnesota will look to neutralize those strengths and capitalize on SDSU’s relative inexperience at vital positions, but Gophers coach P.J. Fleck

isn’t looking past his opponent from a lower division.

“South Dakota State is a really good football team and there’s no way around that,” Fleck said in a weekly press conference. “You can put three letters in front of the division — who cares? FBS, FCS, it doesn’t matter … They are picked No. 3 in the country and some people have them picked to win a national title.”

The Golden Gophers had a rocky season in 2018, only managing to go 3-6 in conference play, but finishing with an overall 7-6 record.

Positivity surrounded the Gophers prior to this season, with some experts picking them as a dark horse in the Big Ten’s west division, but sophomore starting quarterback Zack Annexstad suffered a foot injury earlier this month, meaning he will miss the season opener.

Backup quarterback

Tanner Morgan is ready to step into the starting role as he did last fall after Annexstad suffered an abdominal injury.

Morgan will likely look to connect with senior First Team All-Big Ten wideout Tyler Johnson and take advantage of SDSU’s secondary that doesn’t return a single starter.

“They really played some of their best football at the end of last season ... He’s really gonna manage the game.

They make a lot of double calls so they will get a second call in from the sideline,” Stiegelmeier said. “Their skill on offense is unbelievable.”

Kickoff is 8 p.m. Thursday at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Live television coverage can be found on FOX Sports 1 with live updates available through @CollegianSports on Twitter.

State soccer opens season with pair of wins

LANDON DIERKS Sports Editor While most students were busy moving back to Brookings for the start of the fall semester, South Dakota State University’s soccer team was kicking off its season at Fishback Soccer Park.

The Jackrabbits hosted a pair of contests over move-in weekend to open the 2019 campaign, winning both.

Senior Maggie Smither saved each of the eight shots she faced on goal as the Jackrabbits blanked Utah State University 1-0 Friday evening and followed with a 2-0 win Sunday afternoon over Idaho State University.

While Smither was doing her job in goal, the Jacks struggled to find the back of the net against the Aggies’ goalkeeper, Rachel Noel. The game looked destined to end in a draw until SDSU caught a late break.

The Jacks were awarded a penalty kick after a USU handball inside the box, and in the 89th minute, sophomore midfielder Karlee Manding stepped to the penalty spot and buried the only goal of the contest.

“It was a game of moments ... but we did just enough in the end to win and I’m proud of our team for that,” said SDSU coach Brock Thompson following the narrow win. “To Karlee’s credit, to be able to compose herself and knock down the penalty kick was great.”

Less than 48 hours after Manding’s late-game heroics, the Jacks took the field again against ISU. Coming off a 2-14 campaign a season ago, the Bengals opened their season Friday in Vermillion, dropping a 2-0 contest to the University of South Dakota.

SDSU replicated the result with a pair of second half goals.

Junior forward Marisa Schulz assisted on both goals off corner kicks as senior forward Leah Manuleleua headed the ball into the net in the 51st and 60th minutes to push SDSU past the Bengals to its first 2-0 start since 2006.

“I’m really happy with where we’re at as a team, but it’s still the infancy of the season,” Thompson said after his team’s second win in three days. “We got better this weekend for sure, but we also discovered some things we have to work on and clean up as we go through the season.”

SDSU will be on the road for three straight contests before returning home for a Sept. 10 FILE PHOTO matchup with the University of Hawaii.
