Or Was It Really?

This year marks the 25th anniversary of what many dubbed the “Hobo Day Riots.”

SARA BERTSCH Editor-in-Chief

W

hen JT Nelson woke up on the Sunday following Hobo Day weekend of 1990, he didn’t think he’d find his face on the front of the newspaper.

“I was one of the main pictures. I was right smack in the middle smiling and holding a beer,” he said, after describing the call from his mother that morning 25 years ago. His photo was featured among many others in an edition of the Argus Leader.

While a college student holding a beer is not a typical front-page story, it was that weekend, when the so-called “Hobo Day riots” took place.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the riots, which occurred on Oct. 20 and 21, 1990.

54 people were arrested for criminal activity with these riots, according to The Collegian at this time.

While many have dubbed this weekend as the time of the “Hobo Day riots,” others have claimed that riot might not be the right word, including Doug Wermedal, a former Hobo Day Committee member and current interim vice president for student affairs.

“In the end, not only was there not even what I would call a riot necessarily, but a civil disobedience might be a better description,” Wermedal said. “Use of the word riot seems a little questionable when you think about the scale of real riots.”

Wermedal wasn’t present during the riots since he graduated nearly five years earlier, but still remembers hearing about the events on the news.

“Hobo Day is one of those events where everyone has a sort of ‘do you remember that Hobo Day when...’ and then you fill in the blank,” he said.

For Carrie Howard, this weekend will be engraved in her mind for years to come.

Howard, who lived on the block near the rioting, remembers the event as if it were yesterday.

Howard described the socalled riots as a “mobile party mob,” recalling how the massive amount of students would move from spot to spot, bringing the party with them.

“The party just started moving,” Howard said. “When they got tired of happening in one area, this whole humon-

“

they were using college kids’ furniture. It was college kids bringing their furniture out of their houses,” she said.

Many accuse the media for sensationalizing the event, essentially calling it the “Hobo Day riots.” KSFY was one of several news outlets present that weekend, and tthe station is most commonly accused of exaggerating the details.

At one point that Saturday, the KSFY news team’s car was flipped over. This will forever be one of the highlights and most recalled events of the night.

To this day, a rumor surrounds the whereabouts of the car door, which supposedly sits in one of the houses near campus.

R. Duane Coates, an editor for The Collegian at the time, didn’t participate in the Hobo Day events, but remembers

It was quite a weekend, I can tell you that.

gous amount of people would travel together to another place. That is just what happened all night.”

But it wasn’t just a party; there were also several bonfires. Students would resort to throwing furniture and any items they could find to keep the fire going.

“I could remember them building this big bonfire and

reporting on the riot.

“We had the debate among us. Was it really a riot or a pseudo riot?” Coates said.

He specifically recalled interviewing a Resident Assistant in one of the residence halls. The Resident Assistant barred the doors and armed himself with a baseball bat in fear that the mob would take over his hall.

In Coates’ opinion, the weekend reached riot status.

“I thought it was a riot.

When you have a large group of uncontrolled people setting fire to private property, and requiring an extraordinary effort of force by the fire department and the police department. To me, it’s more than just a party,” To this day, people still recall the riots, but whether or not they were actually riots is still something that is left up to the individual.

Nick Wendell, the director of student engagement and former grand pooba of Hobo Day, still hears of people who comment on that specific weekend 25 years ago.

“It was a media sensation that is the Hobo Day riot,” he said, adding that using the word riot is an exaggeration.

For years after that, some things changed in the planning phase for the event, including security issues.

“I think as years go by, I think people saw it for what it was: a little bit of civil disobedience and rowdy behavior that was probably magnified by the presence of media,” Wermedal said.

But did it leave a lasting impression? For some, yes.

Being on the front page of the newspaper was not the only thing Nelson will take away from this weekend. To him, it wasn’t a riot, but just one big party that got out of control.

“It was quite a weekend,” Nelson said, “I can tell you that.”

History in the making DREW CARROLL Managing Editor Large numbers of students and alumni alike get jacked up about Hobo Day every year. Many know what Hobo Day is but do they know why a school whose mascot is a Jackrabbit celebrates hobos for its homecoming?

Hobo Day began in 1912 after a student by the name of R. Adams Dutcher saw the idea of Hobo Day in practice at the University of Missouri according to Grand Pooba Paul Dybedahl. During the celebration of Hobo Day, students would dress up as hobos and meet the opposing team for the train station the Friday night before the game. The idea didn’t last long because actual hobos showed up more than students, according to Dybedahl.

Dybedahl said students celebrated homecoming before the first Hobo Day. Starting in the early 1900s students would have a nightshirt parade. They would wear nightshirts to meet the opposing team at the train station and lead them back to campus. Members of the faculty at that time thought it was too scandalous for females to be wearing their nightshirts around town.

Hobo Day was born in 1912.

Another part of Hobo Day’s rich history was donated in 1938. According to Nick Wendell, director of student engagement, the Bummobile was donated that year. Frank Weigel, a farmer and SDSU supporter from Flandreau, S.D., donated the 1912 Ford Model T. “It [the Bummobile] has been in every Hobo Day parade since it was donated, whether it was pushed, pulled or driven,” Dybedahl said.

According to Dybedahl, presidential candidate Dwight Eisenhower paid Hobo Day a visit in 1952 while on his campaign trail. Eisenhower rode in the Bummobile during the Hobo Day parade. After being elected president in 1953, Eisenhower served eight years in the Oval Office.

Also during the 1950s, the wellknown Weary Wil came to life. Dybedahl said Weary Wil was originally depicted in a mural painted by a student in the Pugsley Student Union, which was the Student Union at the time. After the mural was painted, it was decided that Weary Wil should be brought to life as a character. About 20 years later, he was accompanied by a female counterpart named Dirty Lil. Every year Wil and Lil are portrayed by different alumni chosen by the Hobo Day Committee. The individuals selected to be Weary Wil and Dirty Lil ride in the Bummobile during the parade and

their identities are revealed at halftime of the Hobo Day football game.

A riot accompanied the 1990 Hobo Day celebration. After the riot, administrators threatened to cancel Hobo Day. Hobo Day has been cancelled twice, first during World War I and then again during World War II. Along with the deep history of Hobo Day comes many traditions, one of which stems from the period of time before Hobo Day was called Hobo Day. According to Dybedahl, during the nightshirt parade era and the early years of Hobo Day, the students would collect canned goods from houses throughout the Brookings community that had their porch lights illuminated.

Upon arrival at their destination on campus all of the canned food items would be compiled into a stew that the students called Hobo Stew. A similar event, the Bum-a-Meal still happens in the present time in which pre-registered students dress up in hobo attire and bum a free, hot meal from residence of the Brookings community.

Other traditions include Hobo Day buttons, the One Month Club, Bum Over and Hobo songs. Many of these traditions, like the buttons and the One Month Club, have been around for many years.

The One Month Club asks male students to grow out their beards for exactly one month leading up to Hobo Day and used to include a women’s category where women would grow pigtails and the pigtails could be styled in different ways. Weary Wil and Dirty Lil will judge the men’s beards before the Cavorts talent show based on four different categories including fullest, best try, longest and patchiest. This year’s Hobo Day Committee is bringing back the women’s category, in the form of asking women to not shave their legs for one month. Women will be based on three categories of softest, longest and most colorful.

Bum Over is a newer tradition started in 2012. The event, held in The Union, is inspired by the Hoovervilles of the 1930s. During the event, students build cardboard shanties, similar to those built in the Hoovervilles, inside The Union and then the shanties will be judged. The winning shanty will be displayed in The Market on Friday.

Dybedahl stated there are also many Hobo songs. For example, he referenced a Hobo Day Committee song based on the tune of Yankee Doodle and a Dirty Lil chant. Dybedahl said, “Before the end of my time as Grand Pooba, I would like to make a song book of all the Hobo Songs.

Peterson passes on float knowledge

MAKENZIE HUBER • The Collegian

MAKENZIE HUBER News Editor Ray Peterson devoted 40 years to teaching at South Dakota State University, and four years after his retirement he still plays a key part in the school’s spirit and traditions by leading the Fantastic Float program demonstrations. As the “float guru,” Peterson is willing to share his knowledge with SDSU student organizations to build memorable floats for the Hobo Day Parade.

“I think when you spend four full decades at a university, you’re bound to feel a close connection to that institution,” Peterson said. “The university certainly was good to me, and I like to think I was good to the university.”

After Peterson’s return from Vietnam, he received a call from a former classmate at Dakota State University, Fred Smith, who was a teaching assistant at SDSU at that time. Smith asked Peterson if he would help teach a semester of speech, but that semester lasted 40 years as he fell into a lifelong career at SDSU with the theater department.

The Legacy

Peterson’s career lead to a gradual influence on shaping the theater department into what it is today. One lasting legacy of Peterson’s is his main role in making Capers into the edgy, satirical Capers.

When Peterson came to SDSU, Capers was a one-night talent show open to students and faculty.

“From the very first year, I could see they had all kinds of possibilities for growth,” Peterson said.

He proposed changing the format of the show from a one-night production to a six-night production with open auditions and taking a theme and building the show around it. The idea of incorporating

a theme was to find a connection throughout the audience. Peterson said it was immediately successful and he stuck with Capers for 30 years.

In addition to Peterson’s hand in Capers, he worked with the University Theater and was part of the initial expansion of Prairie Repertory Theater. He still hosts Alpha Psi Omega, the Theater Honor Society, for its Christmas Party each year to stay connected with current students.

Outside of SDSU, Peterson will celebrate his 50th year working with the Miss South Dakota Pageant. He started out as a vocalist for the pageant, but eventually took on greater roles. He now takes on a larger workload by selecting the theme and music, editing the music, writing the script, designing the set, matching costumes to the theme, overseeing construction, directing the show and working closely with the contestants.

“The pageant takes care of whatever creative juices are left in me,” Peterson said.

The Float Guru

Peterson’s interest in floats started when he was a young boy and would watch county schools around Oldham, S.D. present their floats for their annual field day celebration parade. By the time Peterson was in high school and could present a float, he, along with members of his class, swore to always build the best float, which they kept.

Once at SDSU, Peterson stopped working with floats for a while, but a colleague was aware of his talents and abilities with float construction and decoration and “volunteered [his] services” as a float advisor for the Students’ Association, alumni float advisor and APO float advisor.

Peterson’s work with floats eventually fell away, until he chose to start up again by participating in the Fantastic Float program and helping student organizations build floats for the Hobo Day parade.

Peterson said there is great attendance and representation of organizations on campus and it’s “amazing to see the outcome.” Although Peterson is proud to see organizations build floats, he said he thinks float building is an art form and has turned into a thing of the past. The process of float building is challenging according to Peterson, but very rewarding through the camaraderie gained in the experience.

In his experience with float building, Peterson said he misses the hobo atmosphere at the parade like there once was.

“I’d like to see more of the hobo spirit return again,” he said.

Peterson plans to attend the parade this year and encouraged students to make the most of their float-building experiences.

“Look at the float-building experience as an opportunity to get to know one another,” he said, “...to showcase your organization and to simply have a great deal of fun.”

The Collegian • HOBO

SDSU Archives • The Collegian One of the Bummobile’s most well-known passengers is President Dwight Eisenhower. He attended the 1952 Hobo Day during his election campaign.

Bummobile continues to represent hobo spirit PHU NGUYEN Photo Chief Through the chaotic and busy week that is Hobo Week, there is one thing that is there through it all -- the Bummobile. The iconic mode of transportation for Weary Wil and Dirty Lil is celebrated for its tradition and place in the school’s history.

77 years of the Bummobile The Bummobile will celebrate its 77th year of serving South Dakota State this Hobo Day. Frank Weigel, a supporter of SDSU, donated the 1912 Ford Model T to the university in 1938 and the vehicle has since represented the spirit of Hobo Day and its tradition.

Since then, the vehicle has gone through ups and downs including various events threatening the car’s life, including an accident that damaged the rear fender. It also broke down and required immediate attention during the 2006 Hobo Day when it needed to be pushed through the parade.

The car went through a complete overhaul project in 2009 by Harold Hohbach, a 1943 SDSU electrical engineer graduate, and was given a fresh

new look. The car was restored to the factory condition. This included a new rear end in place of the damaged one, along with original exterior parts and a new wooden frame. A new, midnight blue finish was applied to the vehicle, just like its original color.

In addition to the old crank handle, an electric start button was added on the floor under the driver’s seat for the convenience and safety of starting the car. Ed Bain, senior building maintenance worker and a caretaker of the vehicle, said there was numerous accidents that happened when the crank handle bounced back to the hand of the driver. However, the handle is still fully functional for those who like to take the risk.

Keeping it alive Today, the Bummobile sits in a glass case as the centerpiece of the Hobo Day Gallery. That does not mean the vehicle has stopped serving SDSU; it is still taken out occasionally for a ride around campus to showcase the tradition of Hobo Day. Bain and Greg Markus are responsible for keeping this piece of history in good shape.

“Being 103-years old, it has its own personality,” Bain said. “Somedays it will light, start and run very well, some days it’s…not wanting to do that.”

Bain said the workers perform routine maintenance work to the vehicle such as changing the oil, greasing the joints and tightening the suspension.

Bain and Markus also did some tune up with the spark plugs to help the car run better. Both of them enjoy keeping the Bummobile in good shape.

“It’s interesting. It has been challenging sometimes, but it is one of the more enjoyable parts of the job,” Markus said.

The Bummobile is different from modern cars, from changing gears to adjust the timing and throttle according to Bain. In contrast to the modern layout, the throttle and timing adjuster levers are mounted on the steering column and the gears are pedals on the floor.

Before the Bummobile is ready for duty on Hobo Day, Bain and Markus check again to make sure the car is suited up with gas, oil and antifreeze.

“Then we cross our fingers,” Bain said.

The amount of students that know how to drive the Bummobile is limited as well, possible a half a dozen, Bain said. They often find a parking lot when school is out to experience the feeling of driving an antique car.

The tradition lives on Being chosen to represent Weary Wil and Dirty Lil to ride in the Bummobile is also a lifetime experience for alumni. The duo is chosen by the Hobo Day committee and their identities are kept secret until the halftime of the Hobo Day football game.

“It is a huge honor representing such a wonderful tradition,” Weary Wil said. His real name will not be identified until Saturday.

Weary Wil and Dirty Lil are keys in keeping the hobo traditions alive according to this year’s Dirty Lil. She still remembers the late nights she spent in the Hobo Day Committee in order to make sure the events go smoothly and made best friends there. They still try to come back every year and celebrate the pride.

“Once a bum,” she said, “always a bum.”

Dybedahl brings back traditions, builds new ones MERCEDES LEMKE Reporter

JENNA CROYMANS • The Collegian Grand Pooba Paul Dybedahl

The man behind the magic for the 2015 Hobo Day is none other than Grand Pooba Paul Dybedahl.

For Dybedahl, a senior entrepreneurial studies major, the aspect of tradition and being tied back to the university is his favorite part of being Grand Pooba.

“In my opinion, that’s the best part of it all. I’m really into traditions,” Dybedahl said. “Carrying on this tradition, to me, there is a lot of sense of pride that comes with that, especially because so many people have come beforehand.”

This is Dybedahl’s second year on the Hobo Day Committee. Last year, he was involved with the parade team and was the dignitaries coordinator.

“Everybody has some sort of experience that they immerse themselves in in college and something that really ties and connect themselves to the university,” Dybedahl said. “Last year, being on the Hobo Day Committee, I wanted to get that sort of experience and did not have a particular position in mind.”

Dybedahl knew he wanted to come back on the Hobo Day Committee after he was able to work with an awesome group last year. He also appreciated how much being on the committee tied him back to the university and its traditions.

Some old traditions brought back to Hobo Day were the women’s One Month Club and the Bum Band. Dybedahl said bringing these traditions back and implementing some new traditions this year are meant to create “infinities.” Creating infinities is when traditions and other events are maintained and carried on for several years after they are started, but are more than just traditions.

“One of the neatest features of Hobo Day is that it is a 103-yearold event and so many of the

elements of Hobo Day are rooted in history and the tradition in an event that is over a century old,” said Nick Wendell, the Hobo Day Committee advisor. “The committee is able to translate those things and make them relevant to current students.”

One of those new traditions is giving out event buttons. Buttons featuring specific Hobo Week events will be handed out to participants at each event. The committee hopes it will boast participation, give students mementos and build Hobo Day spirit.

Making new traditions is the only way events such as Hobo Day can continue to evolve and be relevant to current students, according to Wendell.

The Grand Pooba application process is different from the Hobo Day Committee process, Dybedahl explained. The process is based off of the previous year’s Grand Pooba’s discretion. Paul was chosen by the 2014 Grand Pooba, Scott DesLauriers.

Dybedahl had a passion for the traditions and culture of Hobo Day and wanted to see the growth and accelerate traditions, DesLauriers said.

“Hobo Day is 103 years old and it is really cool to think about the fact that students who are participating in Hobo Day a century after students created the event still have as much love and passion for Hobo Day as any students who came before them,” Wendell said.

According to Dybedahl, his main job as Grand Pooba is to keep a “10,000-foot-view of Hobo Day.” By doing this he is keeping the bigger picture of Hobo Day in mind while also managing the details. He also is available to assist his three assistant poobas as they train and delegate their teams.

“We aren’t just all fellow Jackrabbits,” Dybedahl said. “But we are all Hobos by choice.”

Would you call it a riot?

Q &A

In my memory it was just a party gone awry… it turned into a mass of people moving throughout campus and around. I never feared for my life, but when I was standing in that house and saw them turn the car over, I didn’t want to stick around for that.

It was a party out of control. It was people who started a fire in the street and thought it would be funny. Then it turned into ‘what we can throw on to keep it burning?’ The fire department would come and put it out and then drive away. And then we would start it up again…

I’d be more apt to call it a party out of control. There was nothing political at the time. It did lead to the keg regulation in town later.

Matthew Nelson - SDSU Alum

JT Nelson - SDSU Alum

What do you remember about that weekend?

I was there the night that the KSFY car got turned over. I was in a house on the corner of 8th St. and a block west of Medary. I was inside the house watching on TV what was going on outside the window. At the point the car turned over, it was time to get out of there.

I was there and I didn’t really partake too much. I didn’t really throw anything. People were jumping over the fire. It was the big thing to do...

Matthew Nelson - SDSU Alum

JT Nelson - SDSU Alum

When they called it riots, that definitely got out of hand. It was more like a party mob. I would call it a mobile party mob… I lived on the block the major parts what they called riots took place. That block was all party houses...The whole purpose was to party, not to defame anything or ruin anybody’s party.

Carrie Howard - SDSU Alum

I was on [The Collegian] staff when that happened 25 years ago. We had the debate among us. Was it really a riot or a pseudo riot? ...I thought it was a riot. When you have a large group of uncontrolled people setting fire to private property. And requiring an extraordinary effort of force by the fire department and the police department. To me, it’s more than just a party ..

Duane Coates - SDSU Alum

Do you think it affected how we celebrate Hobo Day today?

No. I think it did back then. The following Hobo Day they tried to crack down on police force. It didn’t make much of a change at all. We all just knew not to get so wild in the streets… Most everybody kept their parties contained to their homes and had a limit to how many people could come over.

Carrie Howard - SDSU Alum

It did for the first few years afterwards. Our opponent that year was Augie, which heightened the attendance. They used to be a rival of ours. After that, Augie was not allowed to play us on Hobo Day. They blamed the riot on the opponent.

Barnyard Cadets embrace tradition HANNAH KOELLER News Editor

SDSU COLLEGIAN• October 1990

Bum Band to make triumphant return MAKENZIE HUBER News Editor The Bum Band was only a memory at South Dakota State; a wisp of nostalgia alumni would reminisce about at reunions. The student-driven band was all but lost in the school’s history with only a nondescript yearbook photo, a snippet of a parade video and a few buttons proving the group existed.

That was, until this year.

Members of the Hobo Day Committee took action to gather current students and to reinvent the Bum Band. Although the original Bum Band disbanded some time ago, the Hobo Day Committee thought a reincarnation of the band would add to the spirit of hobo tradition.

Grand Pooba Paul Dybedahl proposed the idea of starting the Bum Band up again to the bands coordinator Miranda Mack, who responded with enthusiasm about the opportunity.

“Miranda really got things going, got people interested, got them all together and I wanted to involve alumni this year, but I thought that for it to get off the ground it should be a group of students first of all and then we can incorporate alumni,” Dybedahl said.

Dybedahl brought the idea to Mack’s attention last spring, but she didn’t start to recruit until the fall. She introduced the idea to some members of The Pride, who seemed just as excited as she in starting up the band.

Within 24 hours, Mack formed the Bum Band with 11 other members and

a variety of different instruments.

All of the instruments used by the Bum Band are Pride instruments.

Trumpets, alto and tenor saxophones, a euphonium, sousaphones and an assortment of percussion instruments together make up the band.

“I really wanted it to be kind of hobo-y if we had tambourines and cowbells and just random things, because I feel like a real hobo band would be pulling stuff out of trashcans to bang together,” Mack said.

Altogether, Mack said the band has a “jazzy” sort of sound. The band has changed some school songs to fit the tune. Instead of “Ring the Bells” it’s “Swing the Bells” and instead of “Yellow and Blue” it’s “Yellow and Blues.”

But even though the Bum Band plays school songs, Mack doesn’t want to copy Pride songs.

“I didn’t want them to play only Pride tunes because it sounds kind of weird,” Mack said. “We discovered right away that when you have a traditional Pride song and take it down to the small little band, that it just sounds disappointing. So that’s why we try to swing the tunes a little bit and find more of our tune because it’s our own band and not just some littler version of The Pride, so I want them to play some of their own things separate from The Pride.”

But finding music for the Bum Band to play has been one of Mack’s biggest challenges in organizing the band. She didn’t have luck in trying to find what the band was like with such little evidence to go on, so Mack

has made the Bum Band into her own and went along with what she thinks it should be.

“I think we can still get its essence, and it’s really, really fun to bring back that same spirit,” Mack said.

Mack said the experience of organizing the band is the most enjoyable part of her role on the committee.

“Since Bum Band is a new thing, I don’t have to ask anybody questions about it. It’s more like, ‘what do I want to do, what do I think is best’ and I kind of steer it. And it’s probably the most rewarding thing I’ve done all by myself and that feels really good, too,” she said. “It’s the least stressful part of my position because I get to steer it and make it what I want.”

Once Mack gathered members of the band, they started to practice at the end of December. Members met on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 20 minutes after Pride practices to run through music together. Their first official gig was playing at the TedxBrookings event in October as people walked into the lobby.

The Bum Band will perform background music at Hobo Week events like Miss Homelycoming and Cavorts, which Mack believes is “right in our element” because it fits into the spirit of Hobo Day. “I think it fits perfectly with the atmosphere and having the school spirit, and having that sound in the background at these events will add another layer of school spirit and excitement to them,” Mack said. “I think we’ll fit in perfectly and won’t be awkward at all.”

MAKENZIE HUBER • The Collegian (Left to right) Tyler Youngquist, Duncan Schwartz and Miranda Mack celebrate at the Honors College birthday bash after their performance.

The Barnyard Cadets hope to engage students with old Hobo Day traditions as well as a few new traditions this week.

“Hobo Week is our favorite time of the year, and it truly is the pinnacle of what it means to show your love for SDSU and to get involved,” said John Green, a member of the Barnyard Cadets. “There is so much going on all week, everyone can find something to participate in and enjoy.”

Something new that will coincide with pre-existing Hobo Week events is a live band playing in the student tailgating lot for the Hobo Day game.

“We will still be providing either food or beverages to students in the lot for the time leading up to the game, and the band will be there to help build the atmosphere,” Green said.

The first new tradition the Barnyard Cadets will start is a symbolic gesture. Starting on Monday and lasting through the pregame warm-up on Saturday, a football will be placed on a stand in the Hobo Shoppe. There will be a small bell next to it, and it is their hope that every student who enters the Hobo Shoppe throughout the week will be able to pick up the ball or ring the bell to “pass on their luck” to the Jackrabbit football team for the Hobo Day game.

This ball will then be delivered to the field and will likely be used in the ball rotation during the game. Eventually, by the time the quarterback touches the ball for the first time in the Hobo Day game, the entire student body has, hopefully, held the same ball.

The second new tradition the Cadets look to start will be associated with the Bum Over, held on Thursday night during Hobo Week.

“We will encourage as many people as possible to come to the event with cowbells, and at exactly 10:22 p.m., we will start a large bell ringing,” Green said. “The idea with this tradition is that eventually, on whatever date the Thursday night before Hobo Day is, a campus-wide bell ringing will begin at the exact time in the evening as the date... It is another example of tying a piece of our history together with a way to unite the students.”

Green said the Cadets have and will continue to work closely with the Hobo Day Committee. The two groups collaborate often and many events the Cadets put on feature the Hobo Day Committee as a centerpiece.

“Three of the HDC members are also Cadets, so we have been sharing thoughts and ideas leading up to Hobo Week,” said Jacob Ailts, a member of the Barnyard Cadets.

“The BYC are going to teach and lead the State Shout at a few of the different events, as well as be present at and assist with the other events throughout the week.”

The Barnyard Cadets know the amount of work it takes to put everything together during Hobo Week and wanted to help provide enough people to make all of Hobo Day Committee events a success.

“The Hobo Day Committee spends about eight months planning for Hobo Day, and it is an incredibly time-consuming process and very stressful to pull off,” Green said. “...so as a traditions-focused group, the BYC will focus most of its energy during the week to making the entire Hobo Week a celebration of our history and what it means to be an SDSU student.”

This Hobo Day, the Cadets biggest goal is to get students involved and connect them to the rich and unique Hobo Week traditions, according to Ailts. He said they believe that every Hobo Week event should be on students’ SDSU bucket list.

“We are most looking forward to the energy and passion that students bring to Hobo Week,” Ailts said. “There is such a high level of student spirit that it doesn’t compare to any other week during the school year.”

Green said he is most excited about the opportunity the Barnyard Cadets have to participate in traditions that have been a part of SDSU for 103 years.

“Hobo Week and Hobo Day are truly amazing times,” Green said. “The mixture of old traditions, alumni coming back to town and the energy on campus is unmatched.

Getting to play a part in all that, while trying to put a couple of our own stamps on the week as well, is something that we are very grateful to be a part of.”

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S STUDENT-RUN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER SINCE 1885

‘Tis the season for infringement University marketing enforces zero-tolerance infringement policy on merchandise PAT BOWDEN Reporter

Incorr ect Lo Usag go e

Rivalry T-shirt sales are often created by students in order to stimulate and make known the intrastate contest between SDSU and USD, or other rivalry games, in sometimes explicit fashion. SDSU holds a zero-tolerance policy for copyright infringement, in which the university’s logo is used on a profit-making item not approved by SDSU. While these T-shirt sales occur throughout the academic year sold by various students, who sometimes make profit off them, sales typically spike during fall when football season hits, according to University Marketing and Communications Manager of Creative Services and Branding Andrea Kieckhefer. This spike in sales correlates to a spike in operations the department shuts down.

“We’ve shut down 20 [copyright infringement sales] this year alone, between the Hobo Day shirts and rivalry shirts… it is a reoccurring issue, we’re kept busy with it in the fall and it dies down past Hobo Day and football season,” Kieckhefer said. “I’m only one person, so I can’t know what’s going on everywhere, so we rely on other people, like students, to bring it to our attention when they think it isn’t approved. We monitor Twitter, Instagram and Facebook wholeheartedly looking for those T-shirt sales.”

This rivalry-inspired clothing is made for a number of reasons, such as spurring the two universities’ rivalry, creating awareness of the rivalry and having a source of profit for students.

“I personally don’t know how much profit I actually make off of them, but I do make some. I honestly find it fun and motivating to sell shirts and see people wearing my design. I decided to start selling last year,” junior human development and family studies major and ex-rivalry T-shirt supplier Brianna Newman said. “I sold crewnecks last year and this year for Hobo Day. So I thought ‘hey, maybe rivalry shirts would be neat, considering the U does them every year.’” Newman was notified by the University of South Dakota that she violated the school’s copyright infringement policy.

According to Kieckhefer, the process that starts after SDSU trademarks are violated doesn’t begin with hostile threats containing dire consequences, but rather a personal email to the individual running

the page, letting them know that there is a problem with their merchandise and that the university requests they shut down operations. If said individual does not shut down operations, the next step is to flag the Facebook page and provide proof that SDSU marks are being used illegally.

“If the shirt pops up on another site we just start the same process again. If we don’t get any confirmation, then we bring in university council for a cease and desist letter, or we go through student affairs and they’ve got a process there too,“ Kieckhefer said. “We haven’t had to take legal action; we have been able to typically shut down most of these. We haven’t at this point confiscated any shirts yet, but we do have the right to do that and at some point it may come to that.”

This process sometimes starts without the understanding that most universities deal with ongoing copyright infringement sales throughout the year, so the logic that if other universities students are selling these shirts, so can SDSU students.

“I am aware of trademark infringement policies… [USD’s notification email] honestly made me want to do it even more. I simply replied and told them to check out what their school is doing and the words they have been using on their shirts, especially the word ‘state,’ because our infringement policy covers that word,” Newman said.

While stopping an individual or group from selling a specific shirt that violates copyright infringement, it doesn’t necessarily exhaust their creative spark to try a new design instead.

“Last year I had to redo the design I had made because it was too touchy with the SDSU policy. Although, I didn’t think I stepped on USD’s toes as far as their policies go, considering they use STATE in their rivalry shirts,” Newman said.

While this department has to handle copyright infringement cases with its own students, they also have to deal with companies producing merchandise with SDSU trademarks which they didn’t have permission to do. While both scenarios of students and outside companies deal with copyright infringement, unfamiliarity of trademark often plays a role in favor of students.

“It’s honestly a 50-50 split [between companies and students]; in the fall it’s mainly students and most of the time

Pheasant hunting season takes flight DREW CARROLL Managing Editor Every year during the middle of October, many South Dakota residents and non-residents flock to the fields on the hunt for South Dakota’s state bird.

Saturday, Oct. 17 marked the opening day of the 2015 pheasant-hunting season in South Dakota. The opening weekend of the pheasant season has a large impact on the South Dakota economy, as it brings in many out-ofstate hunters.These hunters spend money in South Dakota on a wide variety of items, including gas, hotel rooms, ammunition, hunting licenses, apparel, guns and food.

One such business in the state that sees the effects of the opening weekend of the pheasant season is Manolis Grocery in Huron, S.D. Todd Manolis and Gus Marcus currently operate the business.

Manolis, an SDSU alumnus, said that throughout his time in

the business, he has easily met people from every state. Manolis says the store, which offers deli sandwiches and alcoholic beverages along with a selection of groceries, sees increased business during the opening weekend of the pheasant-hunting season.

Opening weekend also provides friends and families a chance to spend time together. Pheasant hunting allows residents of South Dakota the chance to meet and build relationships with people who visit the state in search of the colorful bird.

Ryan Walker of Murray, Ky. said he has made the trip to South Dakota the last eight out of 10 years and that his dad has came to South Dakota every year since 1992.

According to Walker, his group has been hunting with Lance Reilly, a landowner near Wolsey, S.D., for the past 14 years.

This Week’s Horoscopes Virgo

So much has happened in your life over the past few months, yet you might not be able to see the ramifications of the changes yet. Although the transition continues to evolve slower than you wish, your life is undergoing a subtle-but-total transformation. Instead of ruminating over your past mistakes, focus on small tasks that you can start and finish in a day. Rather than working harder, work smarter. Consider yourself a diamond in the rough; don’t let any criticism get in the way of your ultimate success.

Libra

Instead of stressing over a recent lost opportunity, try a more radical solution to your woes, like letting go and trusting the universe. Ironically, taking a well-deserved break may carry you further toward success now than if you push relentlessly ahead. It’s essential to revitalize your creativity and reestablish your center. Don’t be concerned if you aren’t very productive today; it could take several more days to generate the results you want.

Good things come to those who wait.

Scorpio

You might want to disconnect from your emotional roots today because you don’t want anyone to perceive you as being overly needy. You can outwardly demonstrate an apparent aloofness so no one suspects that you’re actually feeling quite vulnerable now. However, your reverse psychology could backfire by amplifying your sense of alienation and deepening your sorrow.

You must take a risk if you want to break an old pattern based on mistrust and secrecy. Sharing your truth with someone you trust helps to heal your heart.

Sagittarius

Unfinished projects continue to pile up at work, yet you could find time today to play a bit of catch-up. You might give yourself the luxury of relaxing later if you can stay on task during the day. But there is simply too much going on for you to check out completely. It may help to create a detailed list of everything you want to accomplish and then cross the items off one at a time.

Believe it or not, the satisfaction you gain from a job well done is more gratifying now than any transient pleasures.

Capricorn

A highly productive morning goes a long way to ease the current pressure in your life. But slacking off before you do your chores is not your modus operandi, especially when there are so many people counting on you. Get down to work instead of wasting time replaying your recent accomplishments or fretting about missed deadlines. Just tie up as many loose ends as possible to fully prepare for the busy week ahead. The more you finish now, the more reason you have to celebrate later.

Aquarius

You could grow quite weary and discouraged today, if all of your hard work hasn’t yet paid off. However, you may have already made more headway than you realize, since the moody Moon’s shift into your sign might color your perceptions with doubt or deception. But don’t shut down your awareness even if you want to escape from your feelings. Your negativity will fade if you put your emotions into a healthy perspective. Your sense of humor can be your saving grace if you are willing to laugh at yourself as much as others.

Pisces

Aries

Although today may be a harbinger of exciting new beginnings, the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Endings also brings good fortune if you’re willing to reflect on the past. But don’t get too hooked by the mundane world or you could miss the intuitive inspiration that’s bubbling up from your subconscious. There are unseen forces at work now and your subtle impressions can be instrumental for successfully guiding you through the major changes ahead.

You may breathe a sigh of relief today because it seems like recent tensions are beginning to subside. Although there are positive signs that make you smile, you won’t likely get the full resolution you seek. You’re not in an optimal position to make significant progress but, at least, you’re growing more confident about the future.

There’s nothing to be gained by being overly ambitious now; just hold your ground and wait for a clear signal before moving forward. Timing is everything.

Taurus

You’re happily surprised by how quickly things change today as you’re catapulted out of your regular routine and shot into a new orbit. Although the quirky Aquarius Moon might not bring emotional comfort, it sounds a loud wake-up call to remind you of the radical ideas you set aside recently in your quest to fit in. Your fan base is solid now, so you really don’t have anything to lose. Thinking outside of the box will be instrumental to your future success.

Gemini

Oddly enough, your growing sense of freedom may relieve your need to rebel against the status quo. Although you don’t feel as independent as you wish, at least some restrictions appear to be lifting now. But don’t spoil your opportunity to be productive by frittering away your precious time. Stay as focused as you were when you were under pressure and you might just accomplish more than you ever thought possible.

Demonstrating your willingness to work hard earns you extra brownie points.

Cancer

The slow pace of change might not be speedy enough for you today. You are acutely aware of how far you have already traveled on your journey, but there’s still a huge gulf between where you are now and where you want to be in the future. However, there’s no point in dwelling on your limitations. Instead of constantly comparing your current progress to your beautiful dreams, just concentrate on the task right in front of your nose. Inch by inch it’s a cinch; yard by yard, it’s hard.

Leo

Unexpressed feelings cultivate unrest in your life, but you can’t seem to find the real source of the problem.

Paradoxically, the closer you get to the truth, the more obscured the answer becomes today. Although it may be wise to dig deep on other occasions, this isn’t one of them. Leave the sleeping mysteries alone while you redirect your attention to those things that are most obvious. For now, what you don’t know can’t hurt you.

Save your impressive roar for another day.

UPD maintains campus security Hobo Day weekend KARIM ABDELAZIM Reporter

IAN LACK • The Collegian Federico Garcia Lammers and Molly Wicks point out the structural advantages of a particular sculpture at the Thursday exhibit.

School of Design class stretches artistic muscles with cardboard sculpture exhibit IAN LACK Reporter A majority of work done by students in their classes is not often seen around campus. However, for one class, a recent assignment allowed them to use campus grounds to display the work the’ve done.

Students in the School of Design freshman core 121 class had two weeks to complete cardboard sculptures, with many students working on this assignment outside of class. The class was divided into groups of four or five students, with each group creating one sculpture. Two graduate assistants and four professors maintain assignments, lectures and grading for the class of 175 throughout the semester.

For this assignment, students were given 10 sheets of cardboard, glue, tape and two colors of paint to use for the final models of their sculptures.

“The idea for the project came from a combination of projects done by other professors and their students that I had seen at a couple of conferences in Houston and Indianapolis,” said Molly Wicks, the program director and professor in the School of Design. “After deciding on this assignment, I did some visual research and found some great exam-

ples of other work done at universities and thought we could add to that.”

Students discussed 3-D structure and balance before beginning the sculptures. “Some of the more successful groups, in terms of durability, really listened to those lectures.

But some of our other groups that made really interesting designs might have been focused more on concept,” Wicks said. Students even tried to incorporate narratives into their sculptures.

The students were able to display their art in an exhibit on Oct. 8. The class set their art up on the campus grounds between the administration building and the Art Museum. Students and faculty found the wind to be a particular nuisance that morning with some of the less stable sculptures being knocked over.

“There were a lot of different ideas with structure of the sculptures.

I was surprised by ours because after we had finished painting, it had kind of drooped,” said fashion design and merchandising major Tayler Vanderpol. “But we made ours specifically to be wind resistant and for it to be able to pass through it.”

Graphic design major Monaya Rose said she is satisfied with the way the course has been conducted this semester.

“I like how spacious it is,” Rose said. “It’s also a class that brings all design students into one. It helps to put us all together.”

The class is looking into a number of groups who are interested in displaying these sculpture pieces around campus and encourages anyone who is interested in presenting them to contact the class as well.

This is the first year of SDSU’s School of Design, so opportunities for projects like these are beginning to emerge more for students in the arts.

“I specifically liked this project because we started really small,” Wicks said. “We first started with ideation and illustration boards, a lot like on the typical job scene, working on something by request.”

By starting with smaller models and building on those foundations, Wicks said students were able to come up with more new and dynamic designs by being required to go through a number of steps to find the ideal form.

“Our hope is that if the students did this project again, or something similar to it, they would have more experience and be better at it next time,” Wicks said. “…and when they graduate in four or five years, they’ll be extremely good at it.”

A series of fires and vandalism accompanied by hundreds of rioters 25 years ago became known as the Hobo Day riots. Now, Hobo Day passes with relative ease compared to that weekend.

“Arrests have gone down over the past several years,” said Timothy Heaton, chief of safety and security for the University Police Department. “I think the kids are more conscious about what would happen to them if you mess up.”

The decrease in arrests can be linked to an attempt by UPD to impose more disciplinary referrals in order to attempt to educate the student population. For example, alcohol-related arrests on campus have dropped from 192 cases in 2012 to 105 cases in 2014. This, however, has led to the number of disciplinary referrals increasing by over 60 percent during the same time period.

The referrals increased from 262 cases in 2012 to 423 cases in 2014.

The drop in arrests and the absence of any major incidents in the last 25 years can also be linked to the Office of Safety and Security’s efforts to educate people.

“Our role is to guide the students and to try to change their behavior,” said Donald Challis, the assistant vice president for safety and security. “We also try to have more disciplinary referrals instead of arrests.”

According to Chief Heaton, the main problem the UPD struggles with during Hobo Week and Hobo Day specifically is the increase in alcohol consumption. The department still maintains the same policies that it does during the rest of the school year without any leniency toward any of the laws and safety regulations.

“Our job is to enforce the law, therefore we maintain the same policies during Hobo Week as we do for the rest of the year,” Heaton said. “We are out there, we ask people not to overdo it because we will come and then they will be in trouble.”

The nighttime seems to be the most difficult time for Hobo Day as UPD has what they like to call an “all hands on deck” case. UPD mostly focuses on campus, but still receives help from the Brookings County Sheriff ’s Department and the Brookings Police Department who maintain a heavy presence during the day.

UPD employs 11 student patrols whose duties include patrolling school grounds and residence halls as well as assisting in any events. The most important part of their day will be the Hobo Day football game.

There are seven newly hired student patrol, but they still play an important part of the security force. Josh Kamami, the student patrol training officer, said the student patrols’ job is to keep campus safe while the students enjoy the celebration.

“We want everyone to enjoy homecoming but in a responsible way. There is a lot of pressure during Hobo Day, but you just have to be smart about it and who you are with. We are not out there to get people in trouble,” Kamami added.

Chief Heaton has been at SDSU for 20 years, 18 of these years as police chief. Although the Hobo Day riots happened before his arrival, he disagrees about the naming of the event.

“It was a big party,” Heaton said.

“I have seen riots firsthand, and I wouldn’t classify it as a riot.”

Editorial

Issue: Right now, South Dakota State University trademarked logos are being used on T-shirts and other items, some inappropriately.

Is SDSU’s strictness with logo use too much or just right?

If there’s one sure-fire way to display your school pride, it’s by wearing a spirited school T-shirt. This shirt will most likely have some sort of school logo such as a jackrabbit or the Campanile.

What many people don’t realize is the work the University Marketing and Communications puts in to keep our beloved logo from being used inappropriately.

This is known as copyright infringement and, so far, the communications department has shut down 20 of these sellers already this year.

During football season, especially around Hobo Day and the rivalry game versus the University of South Dakota, is when these sales spike.

When the university notices the infringement, they start out by emailing the individual running the page and requests he or she shut down

the operation. If it isn’t shut down, the next step is to flag the page and provide proof that the SDSU mark is being used illegally.

Their process has thus far worked smoothly. One aspect that many students don’t know about is that this can help students in its own way.

There is a 10 percent royalty fee for vendors that goes directly into student scholarships. Last year that amount totaled $250,000.

We, at The Collegian, believe that this process is good and quite beneficial to us as students. $250,000 is a lot of money, especially if it is for scholarships.

Not only does it help out monetarily, but also regulates the use of our logo. When people use the logo on shirts inappropriately, it makes our university look bad. It’s our image we are trying to uphold

Stance:

and prove that we are truly the best of the best. That doesn’t always come across when you’re wearing a shirt using the wrong logo or inappropriate images and sayings.

If that’s not enough, think about how hard the university has worked to create our logo.

It is well-known not only in South Dakota but across the country. Nobody wants to damage that reputation or the way our logo looks.

Basically, we love our university. We hate to see things such as poorly made T-shirts or inappropriate use of our college’s logo sully its reputation. It impacts all of us.

So, next time, just go to the bookstore or another store that is legally selling these T-shirts to display your school pride, rather than buying them off of social media.

We believe the University Marketing and Communications office is justified in upholding their strict regulations, allowing certain groups to use trademarked SDSU logos and also regulating the way the logos are used.

The Collegian staff meets weekly and agrees on the issue of the editorial.

The editorial represents the opinion of The Collegian.

Do you think SDSU is too strict when it comes to using university logos? Why or why not?

Jacks React!

“I definitely think that the guidelines are within good reason and are justified. I mean, if you are representing SDSU, the logo should look presentable.”

“When it comes to the logo being printed on documents, I think the guidelines are good, but as for clothing, I understand their reasoning, but it could be more lenient.”

“I think the guidelines are pretty fair. I know my high school got sued for using the same logo as The University of Missouri does, so I can understand the strictness.”

Wise words about Hobo Day offered from a Bum Alum ALEX KUNZ Alumni Columnist Let’s be honest – academically, I wasn’t the best student South Dakota State ever saw. When I graduated, I didn’t have any medallions hanging from my neck, nor did I get special recognition in the Honors College. However, I did have the honor of a blue and gold tassel draped over my academically average shoulders, signifying my involvement in the Hobo Day Committee and my connection to more than a century of tradition.

I wandered down to Arizona State University to pursue my master’s degree. I quickly discovered that ASU may be the biggest party school in the nation, but their traditions and school spirit are far beneath my alma mater. I feel the need to let you know what the world post-Hobo Day is about so you can mentally prepare.

Down here, I’m not making crock pots of stew to ladle out to hungry students on their journey downtown. There’s no Campanile for me to traipse out of dressed as a hobo at 8 a.m. into the blinding sun as a class of

I have a lot of amazing memories that all came from staying out too late, spending too much money downtown and skipping too many classes in exchange for coffee dates and patrolling The Union for the soups of the day.

My point is that Hobo Week 2015 may be the first or final opportunity you have to make memories like these at South Dakota State University, and I strongly encourage you as a beard-loving, thrift-shopping, Weary Wil tattoo-toting hobo to take advantage of all the opportunities The Hobo Day Committee has pro-

New certificate enhances learning experience in liberal arts DENNIS PAPINI Dean of Arts and Sciences How are teaching and learning in higher education and coaching competitive girl’s fast-pitch softball related? As a student and a practitioner of both, I can assure you that there is a remarkable similarity.

As a coach, I found that there are several predictable steps in teaching young athletes to master the physical and mental challenges of the game.

The first involves teaching the players the physical skills needed to compete – throwing, catching, hitting, running, etc. Drills and practice help these young players learn these fundamentals.

Interestingly, although athletes may learn the proper skill and use it perfectly in a drill during practice, when they are in an actual game, they often revert to bad habits. Eventually, the athlete learns to perform the mechanical skill while under the considerable distress and

was based on the belief that learning was achieved by filling the students, as if they were empty vessels, with enough knowledge to prepare them for an ever-changing world.

Throughout their lives, these students were to add knowledge as needed – to continue to fill the cup as it were – for personal and professional success.

The computer revolution, the digital age and the demands of the modern workforce have challenged these beliefs and assumptions. Now, too much information for students to hold at one time is available with the simple click of a mouse. That enormous body of knowledge produced over the millennia is accessible in digital formats from a variety of sources.

Today, employers demand a workforce with individuals who possess but can also apply knowledge, skills and competencies. The ability to search out information and use it in solving problems has

pressure of a championship game.

This process, the transfer of learning, is at the center of a revolution in how we think about teaching and learning within higher education in general and the liberal arts and sciences in particular. Knowing and understanding things are simply not enough; students must be able to apply the skill when needed.

Under the old educational model, knowledge was power. Teaching in higher education

become the new model of teaching and learning, driving higher education.

The faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences has embraced this new model of teaching and learning. We are creating a distinctive model for higher education to provide our students with the best possible academic experience in and out of the classroom.

When you look into the Certificate in EXPL, you find that teaching and learning can no longer be conducted just within the narrow boundaries of the traditional classroom. Teaching and learning in the liberal arts can no longer afford to deliver knowledge and skills that have not been tempered through hands-on experience.

I hope you will join us in the excitement that this innovative approach to a liberal arts education has for placing you, our students, at the front of the pack of new graduates seeking employment.

We will be reaching out and building partnerships with all sorts of agencies, businesses and communities as we engage our faculty and students in experiential learning opportunities.

Examples of experiential learning opportunities are: · Service Learning, where students work in organized community partnerships that address local needs by applying what they have learned, · Applied Learning, that involves the application of academic information through course projects in partnership with businesses, agencies and organizations, · Field-Based Learning, where students’ work experiences with businesses and organizations require the application of academic knowledge as well as the opportunity to develop new skills that are unique to the workplace, · Integrative Learning, that requires students to put knowledge together

from multiple sources and develop habits of the mind that allow them to make informed judgments in all phases of their lives, · Scholarly Activity, that is designed to develop and sharpen intellectual and creative skills and · Travel Studies/Study Abroad, that increases students’ understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and globalization by recognizing our social, economic, geographic and intellectual interdependencies.

I hope that you will seriously consider whether the Certificate in EXPL is right for you. Dr. Kathy Erdman-Becker is the Coordinator of the Certificate in EXPL, and all the information you need to get started can be found at: http://www.sdstate.edu/ as/experiential-learning/ index.cfm Dennis Papini is the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and can be reached at dennis.papini@sdstate.edu

How to practice energy conservation across campus LUKE GANSCHOW Energy Conservation Engineer We are continuously making efforts to reduce the amount of energy the South Dakota State University campus consumes.

A large portion of energy conservation is dependent on the habits of you, the end users. There are many ways that we can be more conscientious and conservative in our energy consumption in everyday life and across campus.

Turn off lights When leaving any room, be sure that the lights are turned off, especially overnight, on the weekend and during

breaks. If natural light is sufficient and available, be sure to use it instead of other light sources; it’s free and healthy!

Turn off electronics Lots of energy is expended to power electronics, even when they aren’t being used. Be sure to have ‘power saving’ options enabled on computers, printers, window AC units, washers, dryers and any other electronic pieces of equipment. Even in sleep mode, computers still use electricity, so power them off when leaving for the night and over the weekend. Having office and personal electronics plugged into a power strip with an on/off switch is an

easy way to turn off multiple electronics at once.

Thermostats and temperature If you have the ability, raise and lower thermostats during unoccupied times. Usually, occupants have a range of 68 degrees Fahrenheit to 76 degrees Fahrenheit to choose from.

It takes less energy to warm to cool a space back to the desired temperature than it does to maintain it at that temperature all the time. In our Building Automation System (BAS), some areas have schedules set so that overnight and on the weekends this will be done automatically. Also, make sure that the thermostat is set

to the actual desired temperature. Setting the temperature higher or lower than the desired temperature does not change the temperature in the room any faster. Make sure the doors and windows are closed in conditioned spaces so that the warm to cool air doesn’t escape those rooms. Another easy step you can take is to dress for the season.

Wear lightweight clothing in the summer and warmer clothing in the winter.

Water use Water can easily be conserved by turning faucets off when brushing teeth or doing other hygiene related activities as well as taking shorter and

cooler showers.

Travel If possible, walk or ride a bike instead of driving a vehicle, or carpool if driving is necessary. Take the stairs instead of using elevators. Be conscious of your habits and kindly encourage others to be more aware of their’s.

As you can see, most of these steps to conserve energy are simple, sensible and can be applied in your homes as well. Collectively, as the people who work, study and live at SDSU, it is all of our responsibility to take an initiative and make changes in our habits to help reduce the energy consumption on campus.

As the year moves on, I will continue to provide reminders and advice of how we can be more efficient and conservative with campus energy consumption. Our university is committed to creating a sustainable environment, and I will continue to work toward that goal along with other members of the SDSU Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability Committee (ESSC).

Five things about public notices in the newspaper DAVID BORDEWYK South Dakota Newspaper Association October is Public Notices Month in South Dakota. It’s an opportunity to shine a light on why public notices published in your local newspaper matter in our lives and in our society.

Here are five things to know: 1) Public notices published in your local newspaper are a record of the official actions of government. There are many types of public notices: bid notices, election notices, proposed zoning regulations, proposed budgets and much more. Perhaps the most common and the best read public notices are the minutes of local government meetings. The boards, coun-

cils and commissions of all public school districts, cities, towns and counties in South Dakota are required by law to publish the minutes of all their public meetings.

2) Public notices published in your local newspaper are indeed read by citizens. South Dakota Newspaper Association has commissioned a half dozen statewide public notice readership surveys over the past 20 years, and consistently those surveys have shown people read public notices. In fact, about half of all those surveyed say they read public notices in their local newspaper at least sometimes or regularly.

Opponents of public notices published in the local newspaper argue that newspapers are dying and that no one reads

them anymore. They argue that local governments should put their public notices online instead of having to pay to publish them in the local newspaper. SDNA’s statewide surveys show that taxpayers overwhelmingly prefer to have the notices published in their newspaper instead of having them available only online. Plus, the cost to publish public notices in the local newspaper is small. In fact, it averages less than one-half of one percent of a local government body’s annual budget.

Newspapers are not dying. Newspapers continue as the No. 1 source for local news and information in communities all across our state. South Dakotans rely on the local newspaper to keep them informed about their

community and help keep their community connected.

3) The 128 newspapers in South Dakota have cooperated to create a searchable online site for public notices. The website – www.publicnotices.com – is a compilation of public notices that were first printed in the local newspaper. This service is provided free of charge.

Local governments are not charged a fee and the public is not charged a fee to use the site.

4) Public notices published in the local newspaper provide permanency and a bonafide authentication that the internet cannot match. Public notices on the internet can be manipulated, altered and subjected to cyber attacks.

Public notices published by the newspaper don’t

have those same vulnerabilities. Time and again public notices published in the local newspaper are used by those in the legal community and in government as legal records and research documents.

Newspapers provide an independent, third-party check in the process of delivering public notices to the public. That is better than having government as the sole author and publisher of its own information.

5) Public notices published in the local newspaper are an essential building block for good, open government. Democracy works best when citizens are well informed and have the information they need to help them shape their decision-making.

Public notices fulfill that essential role. Transpar-

Super senior: A dirty word?

BRENNA RAMSDEN Columnist When we started classes this fall and all of my professors started syllabus week with the “tell us about yourself ” game, I was one of those students who had to tell everyone I was a super senior. I even had one of my professors ask if that was a new term, because she had been hearing it more and more often.

To be honest, I am ashamed of telling people that I am here for another year. I hate that I didn’t finish in four years, and sometimes it feels like I won’t be as successful as my classmates who did. But my being here for five years is not due to lack of knowledge or lack of trying. I had to sacrifice credit time for work hours, and there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day.

Watching all of my friends graduate last spring was the worst. I wanted to celebrate with them, but all I could keep thinking about was the fact that I wasn’t walking with

them. I was going to have to endure another year of crazy professors, all nighters and thousands of group projects without some of my closest friends. How would I ever survive?

To be honest, I am surprised at the amount of people that are also riding the super senior bus with me. When classes started this fall, I still saw familiar faces, I still have amazing roommates and I still have friends who understand those crazy professors.

The increase in students who are here for their victory lap makes me feel welcomed.

I have always loved SDSU, but I was more nervous for this victory lap than I was for my “Freshman 15”.

Why is that?

Society places me in this age range that says I should be starting an entry-level job, have a serious relationship (maybe even be engaged) and start paying off my student loans. I have none of those things, and it actually took me a long time to get over that.

In a generation that has gotten so good at saying, “Screw you, society!,” I was actually getting seriously concerned about my status in life.

Where am I going? What am I doing? Why am I still in school? If I doubted myself this much, why wouldn’t the people around me?

After syllabus week and telling all of my classmates that I was indeed a super senior, I began to realize that maybe it’s not so bad. I am here for another year of learning and a detailed focus on what I want to do for the rest of my life. I still don’t have all of the details figured out yet, but I remind myself that going by the seam of your pants isn’t all bad.

For now, I am just getting used to using the term “super senior” and, maybe later in life, I will have time to figure out what a 401K is.

ency and openness in government are vital and go hand-in -hand with public notices published in the local newspaper.

During this Public Notices Month, I encourage you to visit with your local newspaper staff to learn more about the public notices published in the newspaper. Plus, I encourage you to urge your local legislators to resist the ongoing efforts in Pierre to eliminate the publication of public notices in your newspaper. Good government depends on it.

Ava from

Ava is a student on this campus and will not identify himself/ herself until the person chooses to do so. Every week, Ava will talk about something they have heard.

“I just want to be friends.”

This phrase comes with the idea of the friend zone, and normally is associated with the fact that a guy can’t have seed with a girl. But how I’m talking about it today is different. Today, I’m talking about how people strive to be perfect for someone and no matter how hard they try, they never seem to be good enough.

When this phrase is normally heard, either the person is saddened or upset by it. And I get it. I’ve been through this phrase numerous times and, after hearing it so many times, I felt like something was wrong with me. But you know what? It’s not that. I’m tired of trying to be something I’m not or toning down who I am to make the other person feel better about themselves in order to be at their level.

It’s time for people to stop chasing a person and start chasing life. The right person will come around and when they do, they won’t want you to change anything about yourself.

Briggs Library adds contest to leave mark on Hobo Day KATHERINE CLAYTON Lifestyles Editor The wooden nickel and Hobo Day didn’t have anything in common until now. Students have the ability to embrace their creative side by designing a wooden nickel while participating in the Hobo Week events.

Hilton M. Briggs Library is hosting the first-ever Hobo Nickel Design Contest. Students are asked to pick up a maximum of three wooden nickels and an en-

try form at the Library Services Desk.

“The idea [of the contest] is kind of paying a homage to the folk or outsider art form of Hobo Nickels, which is to create a new design on a coin,” said Jessica English, the digital initiative coordinator at Briggs Library.

According to English, the nickel was changed in 1913 to the Buffalo Nickel. It was different from previous nickels because it was smaller in size and the picture on the nickel was a profile. Eventually, the Buffalo Nickel was no longer pro-

duced, but people created an art movement of designing nickels with different pictures on them.

“There’s professional artists that still do them… in all kinds of designs, from hobo inspired ones to kitties and everything,” English said.

Final submissions of designed nickels are due at 5 p.m. on Hobo Day, Oct. 24.

Then on Oct. 26, the Grand Pooba, Provost Nichols and Jack will vote on their favorite Hobo Nickels at noon at Briggs Library. The winners will receive gift certificates to the Dairy Bar. People who design nickels do not need to be at the reception to win the contest.

“You can change it in any way, add anything to do, carve it out, color it, dye it, whatever you can think to do and any design you can think of,” English said. “You can make [the wooden nickel] into a statue, you can carve a little tiny thing out of it.

As long as some part of it is part of the final submission.

It can be 3-D printed, it can be cut into wood shavings and glued to a diorama, anything you want.”

Options are endless when it comes to designing the wooden nickel. The only rule for designing is that the wooden nickel needs to be somewhere in the final submission.

“We are hoping this will be the kickoff for more fun things to come,” English said. “Hopefully, this design contest works out then we can keep doing it and expand it and we have some other ideas brewing for sure for next year.”

This is the first year the Briggs Library has participated in the Hobo Week celebration.

“The library is an important part of the SDSU community and we want to be a part of Hobo activities and we feel that this contest is a great way to embrace the hobo creative spirit,” said Emmeline Elliot, the operations manager at Briggs.

English said she hopes that students see the contest as another part of Hobo Day. “[Students] would be able to develop some of their own ideas and get their designs out there too,” English said, “so that they can contribute to what the library’s doing, what the campus is doing and put their mark on it somehow and just have a good time.”

Students can get a nickel and submission form at the Library Services Desk. The judging for the nickels will take place on Monday, Oct 26 at noon.

>> PHEASANT Continued from A1 “Mostly my favorite part is the camaraderie of hunting with family and friends and all the friends we have made up here in South Dakota. We look forward to seeing everybody,” Walker said. “Hunting with my dog, that’s always enjoyable. Even if we are not seeing birds, just seeing him hunt hard and hunt correctly adds more enjoyment to the trip.”

Manolis also enjoys seeing fresh faces and catching up with old friends during the opening weekend of the pheasant season.

“I love to meet new people and love to see people that come back. I enjoy getting reacquainted with old friends and sharing our hunting stories,” Manolis said.

This year’s statewide average number of pheasants per mile is just under four, which is up 40 percent from the 2014 number, but down 32 percent in the 10-year average, according to the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks. The SDGF&P also says that there are slightly less than two birds per mile in the Brookings area. This number is up 46 percent from last year and 56 percent lower than the 10-year average. The pheasant-hunting season is open until Jan. 3, 2016.

Two amendments passed at SA meeting MAKENZIE HUBER News Editor The Students’ Association voted unanimously to pass two amendments at its Oct. 19 meeting.

The two resolutions focused on extending the resolution reading period and enforcing a stricter representation of ex-officios at SA meetings. SA also had its first readings of three resolutions in support of a smoke-free campus, tobacco-free campus and electronic cigarette-free campus.

Amendment 15-01-A will extend the reading period to two readings and resolutions may be passed following the second reading. This amendment ensures that the Senate has two full weeks or longer to read and discuss resolutions as well as more time to communicate with students about their opinions on the resolutions.

“We meet every week. There’s no reason we can’t slow down and pump the breaks a little,” said SA Vice President Matt Dahle in support of the amendment.

Amendment 15-02-A will require stricter regulation of ex-officio representation at SA. If an ex-of-

ficio seat remains vacant for three consecutive meetings, the organization’s representation will be suspended for the remainder of the current term.

The organization’s representation will be removed from the Senate if the seat remains vacant for one year.

In other business, SA had its first reading of Resolutions 15-07-R, 15-08-R and 15-09-R and Amendment 15-03-A. All resolutions dealt with the possibility of a smoke-, tobacco- or electronic cigarette-free campus. Amendment 15-03-A focused on representation of at-large senators on the Corporation Board of Directors. The amendment proposed that for every three Senate seats occupied by at-large senators, one at-large senator be selected as a representative to serve on the board.

Chad Vossekuil, coordinator of intramural sports, club sports and summer camps, addressed the Senate in the open forum portion of the meeting about the Wellness Center’s system of allocating funds to club sports.

The Senate will meet next Monday, Oct. 26 at Jack’s Place in the Lower Level of The Union.

>> T-SHIRTS Continued from A1 they’re innocent in the fact they did not know that this was something they could not do.”

Some companies know this is something they cannot do, but make a living off of it nonetheless. There are also attempts to modify or make a variation of the SDSU marks, which usually takes longer to justify its violation with trademark. This makes shutting down the operation take longer since there is no cut-and-dry way to tell if something is copyright infringement or not according to Kieckhefer.

Some of these cases that attempt to make a variation of an SDSU mark occur here on campus when a club or organization tries to affiliate themselves with the school but are not aware of the copyright laws. On the other hand, clubs and organizations affiliated with the university are not permitted to make variations of the schools marks, and instead need to use their actual logos, slogans and word marks.

“We look at the shirt to determine if it’s similar or if it causes confusion to whether or not that’s truly a university approved or licensed piece of apparel, so that’s where that test comes in,” Kieckhefer said. “We’re willing to work with any club or any organization to get a proper unique logo if

that’s what they’re choosing, but they cannot commit copyright infringement. If they’re looking for us to design for them we can do that so there would be a design fee.”

Another aspect to rivalry T-shirt sales, Kieckhefer thinks, is that students usually don’t realize the 10 percent royalty fee approved “vendors pay” goes into student scholarships, which last year totaled $250,000. “…It ends up hurting the students in the long run when they do buy those copyright infringed shirts,” Kieckhefer said. “The important thing is we’re not trying to put a damper on the students’ fun or hinder the creativity of it. We are trying to protect our brand and the university’s reputation, that’s really what a large part of my job is about.”

As the department works to lower the number of copyright infringement violations among students, it is believed by some students that there will always be a successor to making rivalry T-shirts.

“I do believe others will be designing shirts and I honestly hope they do. If USD does it, so can we,” Newman said. “I would have made another design but it takes time to actually sit down and think of one, then design it, then sell. It’s a process. So, yes, I do believe and hope someone else makes rivalry shirts.”

sdsucollegian.com/category/lifestyles • twitter.com/sdsucollegian • October 21, 2015 ABOVE: Students watch comedian Timmy Williams on Oct. 15 in Jack’s Place. BELOW: Timmy Williams talked about subjects such as gun control and religion.

IAN LACK• The Collegian

Local comedian mixes it up in Jack’s Place IAN LACK Reporter “Okay, my name is Timmy, and I’m a fat, single dad who talks about his wiener on stage. Ladies... ,” said Timmy WIlliams in the opening for his comedy standup show, Oct. 15.

As a comedian, Williams claims he does not shy away from tackling what can be considered edgy humor, and that did not change for Williams when he performed stand-up in Jack’s Place at The Union.

Timmy Williams is a comedian from Watertown, S.D. He joined “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” a sketch-comedy group and television series in New York once he moved to the city in 2001.

“I kind of just fell into it,” Williams said. “I didn’t expect to be a part of it, but I just met so many people who did it in New York when I was there and became involved in it that way.”

Williams found experience through trial and error, performing from local bars and theaters. He honed his comedic skills by writing his own material.

“I never went to school for comedy. I think where I really got my comedy chops was through ‘Whitest Kids,’” Williams said. “With comedy, classes can definitely help you be good, but the best way to be a great comedian is to just get out there and do it.”

Before each stand-up event, Williams prepares a setlist of general topics that he wants to discuss for the show. He refers to this list and offers his comedic spin on these topics, ranging from gun control to religion.

“Timmy’s really funny. I’ve followed him since he was in ‘Whitest Kids.’ Everything he does jumps from topic to topic and it’s hilarious,” said Tyus Beeson who attended the show hosted by the University Program Council. “Especially with his show tonight, he really knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat.”

Williams’ stand-up sketch ran for about an hour, with the audience laughing throughout as he addressed complicated family issues, drug magazines and even how he wants to die.

UPC entertainment coordinator Brittney McClendon was pleased with the turnout from the event.

“We actually didn’t expect as many people as we had turn up. We had about 175 people cram in here. It was definitely a different vibe than the events we usually set up for,” McClendon said.

The UPC advertised for the stand-up night in the weeks leading up to the Thursday event with posters and news bulletins around campus.

Williams performed at colleges around the country many times before with “White Kids,” but never standup independently.

“I’ve always wanted to do a college [stand-up] show.

With stand-up, you get a kind of instant feedback and sometimes an instant gratification for the work you come up with,” Williams said.

Williams wants aspiring comics to know, “There are a lot of places in the Midwest for comedy. Don’t worry about being edgy or memorable,” he said. “Be yourself. I know that sounds like a self-help book, but that’ll definitely make more you memorable.”

Artists Babby, Mallory express their art using non-traditional materials SIERRA CLOSE Reporter Traditionally, when people think of art, they expect to see paint on canvas or possibly a stone sculpture.

The South Dakota Art Museum has two exhibits on display that have art pieces made from some less traditional materials: glass and metal.

Angela Babby created her Crying For a Vision: A Fluid Odyssey art pieces with pieces of glass, and Cathryn Mallory formed her sculptures with copper and other various metals for her Liminal Surrender series.

On Friday, Oct.16, both artists spoke at the art museum’s reception dedicated to their exhibits.

Angela Babby, an artist from Billings, Mont., shared at the reception first. Babby started her career as an artist by painting watercolors.

Upon having her artwork ruined in a “torrential Arizona rainstorm,” she decided, “Well, I really like doing this, but if I’m going to do it, I need to do it with a waterproof medium.”

She called upon her experience working at a glass

factory in Portland, Ore., a dream job she had to quit because of allergies to the chemicals used at the factory.

After living in Portland, Ore., Babby moved to Phoenix, Ariz., where she owned a decorative painting business and attended art classes. A fellow student in one of her classes encouraged her to delve into the Native Art Market, which she succeeded in entering upon her first try. Taking shards of broken glass she had saved from her job, she “started doing these enameling tests and learning how to paint with vitreous enamels on glass and then fire it in a kiln.”

Now her glass artwork has been featured in Native People’s Magazine, Glass Art Magazine and Southwest Art. Cathryn Mallory, a gallery director and professor at the University of Montana in Missoula, spoke after Babby. Her art also includes untraditional elements: she crochets and knits various metals, especially copper, brass and fishing weights. Her artwork, specifically the items in her

Liminal Surrender series, show an intimacy with the human body and clothing.

On talking about creating her work, she said, “I work strand by strand—it’s very time consuming, so I really create this very intimate relationship with the work. It often is sitting on my lap, I’m cradling it.” Not only the proximity that she shares with her work influences her style though.

A trip to the Netherlands and the Brooklyn Art Museum “attracted [her] to the excessive ornamentation and then, of course, the exaggerated body, the corseted waist, the enormous hoop skirts, these heavily jeweled and ornamented fabrics.”

Her art began to take on the form of collars and dresses, delicate looking pieces suspended by pulleys due to the weight of the metal used. Impressively, her art is all hand-made using regular crocheting and knitting materials.

Angela Babby’s Crying For a Vision: A Fluid Odyssey in Glass is on display from Sept. 22 until Feb. 13.

Cathryn Mallory’s Liminal Surrender is on display from Sept. 29 until Feb. 27.

Pictured above is Mallory’s Ascend from her exhibit Liminal Surrender.

Community support connects Brookings with campus SELENA YAKABE Columnist Hobo Day is just around the corner, and people from all over will be coming to Brookings to celebrate. I think that every town, especially every college town, should have an annual celebration like this.

Hobo Day is something special that makes Brookings and South Dakota State University unique. Aside from the fact that it is called “Hobo Day” and it is a day that celebrates hobos, it brings together the community. In fact, I think that’s what is great about Brookings itself.

In my opinion, Brookings is just the right size. It’s small enough so that you

know most of the people in it, but there are still a variety of things to do in town.

Brookings is the perfect size for creating a good sense of community.

It is funny to hear people who have never heard of Hobo Day ask about it because they do not understand why there would be a celebration of homelessness.

The word “hobo” has come to have a negative connotation and is generally associated with homelessness. Although this word is defined as somebody who does not have a settled home and wanders from place to place, it is not quite the same thing as being homeless. Perhaps “drifters” better describes the people being celebrated during Hobo Day, but “Drifter Day” does not quite have the

same ring to it. If you think about it, it is sort of strange that we have a Hobo Day celebration, but it is partly the strangeness of it that makes it so endearing.

Alumni come back to celebrate, even people who have no tie to SDSU or Brookings come to celebrate. I think it is just human nature to love celebrations because it is an excuse to let loose, have fun and socialize. It is not often that an entire town gets together for a celebration. Yes, there are holiday celebrations throughout the year, but, even then, the entire town is not involved. There seems to hardly be anyone who does not participate in the Hobo Day festivities.

From the events going on during the week, to the parade, to the football

game—this holiday of sorts brings the community together more than any other I have seen.

What’s great about it is that, even though it is an SDSU event, the entire town is there. Brookings is incredibly supportive of SDSU, not only of Hobo Day, which makes it that much better. I am from out of state, and that is one of the draws of this place. I’m not talking about Hobo Day, though I do love Hobo Day. I’m talking about the community.

Even being from out of town, this place has a way of feeling like home. It seems that I am not the only one who Hobo Day and Brookings have won over. Have a fun, but also safe, Hobo Day.

A: I go for the Dirty Lil look. I like the flower headbands and flower skirts with the vest combo. And always the crocs, always.

Q: Where do you shop?

A: Most of the stuff I find from Goodwill or other thrift stores. Some of it I get from relatives or scraps of old clothes like old scarves. The buttons I get from thrift stores. I have some random ones. People’s old sports pins are always great. I have some old hobo pins as well.

Q: What is most important about picking out your outfit in the morning?

A: I think it should be ‘you.’ If you don’t like wearing flannels for your hobo outfit, you don’t have to. Pick something that you like and that is good for you.

Q: If you could switch closets with anyone who would it be and why?

A: Sherwood Berg. He passed away two years ago and he donated this big, furry coat to the Hobo Day office. He wore it every year for Hobo Day. Jen Novotny, one of the people that works here, has this skirt. It’s made out of ties, and it is magnificent.

I would like her skirt and his jacket.

Q: How has your style evolved?

A: The vest has evolved with the buttons. I pretty much wear my vest every day.

My vest is ever-evolving.

Q: Do you have a fashion tip for other hobos?

A: If you don’t know where to start, go to Goodwill. Go to a thrift store. Borrow some stuff from old relatives. Cut some holes in it. Put some patches on it. Run it over with your car. It works. We have a hobo 101 video on how to dress like a hobo as well. It is on our Facebook page.

Q: What happens if I want to find clothes in the dumpster?

A: That is totally acceptable. We’ve done that. Maybe wash it first.

Colts failed trick play magnifies loss to Pats AUSTIN HAMM Sports Editor The Indianapolis Colts could taste it. They could taste the opportunity to top the New England Patriots, and they wanted it. They wanted it so bad. They wanted it so badly they were willing to try a trick play on fourth-and-3 in their own territory. Well, that play could not have gone much worse and the Patriots ultimately prevailed 34-27 on Sunday night in Indianapolis.

Coming into the game, the Colts were 0-4 against the Patriots since drafting Andrew Luck, including the stomping they endured in the AFC Championship game last season. But the former top pick’s struggles against the reigning Super Bowl champs was only part of the storyline in the build, as I’m sure anyone who follows football even casually knows. That AFC Championship game was the start of the “Deflategate” scandal, and many people zoned in on this game as a sort of revenge campaign for New England.

I’m sure there was some satisfaction in the Pats locker room after beating the team that can essentially be called the tattletales, but I think the way the Colts approached this game is a much more interesting angle to examine.

I mentioned the Colts recent record against New England. Without a doubt, that sits heavily on the minds of players, coaches and front office staff. The Patriots are what many consider to be the model franchise of the NFL and such a record of futility against them, combined with the widely accepted fact that the road to the Super Bowl in the NFL leads through them, means that beating the Patriots is a very important achievement to this Colts team that has made it further and further in the playoffs the last three years.

On the first drive of Sunday’s game, I felt that the Colts exhibited fire and tenacity befitting of a team looking to score a signature win against a favored opponent, and it culminated in a touchdown pass from Luck to Dante Moncrief. After that, there was a feeling that if the Colts could keep their foot on the gas, yet maintain their poise, they would really have a shot at this thing.

And when they reached halftime, they sat on a 2120 lead, having returned Brady’s first interception of the season (a tipped pass intended for Julian Edelman) for a touchdown and held tight end/ mutant Rob Gronkowski to zero catches.

But then the Patriots pulled their usual Patriot mischief and made all the right adjustments at halftime. They opened the second half with a seven-play, 80-yard drive that finished with a Gronk score-and-spike. The next thing that happened in the game that made a lasting impact on the memory was the ill-fated trick play by Indianapolis. I admire the moxie of Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano, and I do not inherently hate the idea. But either pressure, a lack of preparation or a combination thereof caused a complete misreading of the situation by the Colts and the Patriots got the ball with unbelievably good field position to score the touchdown that proved to be the difference in the final score.

That the Colts were willing to try this play is very telling. It shows the level of desperation the organization has reached in their desire to get the New England monkey off their back. And the flop shows that the pressure reaches all the way to the players, who couldn’t execute the play. Barring some sort of miraculous turnaround, I think this will be Pagano’s last year in Indy. It will be a situation similar to the Denver Broncos parting ways with John Fox at the end of last season. The coach has led a good team, but they just can’t seem to be quite good enough. And when players look as unprepared for a trick play in a big game as they did this weekend, questions about his ability to command the team will begin to creep in. Pagano is a good coach, and he won’t be out of work long should the Colts decide to let him walk when his contract is up this year. I’m guessing he will be one of the first coaches a lot of teams call after Black Monday this NFL season, but I think the inability to beat the Pats will ultimately spell the end of Pagano’s time on the sidelines at Lucas Oil Stadium.

TYLER LINDGREN • The Collegian The Jacks had a chance to snap their lsoing streak, and did so in style as they swept rival USD in Frost Arena.

Heating Up Volleyball wins two in a row against USD, WIU

ANDREW HOLTAN Sports Reporter The SDSU volleyball team is on a two-game winning streak as they defeated the University of South Dakota Coyotes last Tuesday and the Western Illinois University Leathernecks last Friday.

Everyone on this team, coaches included, had some firsts after their win against USD last Tuesday at Frost Arena. This was the first time SDSU beat USD since 2010. It was the first time they had beaten them at home since 2003. Head Coach Nicole Cirillo also recorded her first career conference victory.

“That’s kind of a big deal.”

Cirillo said. “Yes, all those things are important, but at the end of the day, we played a match and we won.”

They also snapped a couple of losing streaks with this victory.

Heading into the matchup, the Jacks had lost 21 games in a row in Summit League play dating back to 2013. They also had lost their last 16 games overall.

“It’s been a long time.” Cirllo said. “It’s easy to take it as momentum; I think moving forward is all that we can do.”

“I think we’ve been consistently competing and it has gotten us comfortable in that role of playing to win and not to lose,” Cirillo said. “There’s a process that has to happen in order to learn to win and what we’ve been doing since the start of conference came to life tonight.”

Junior outside hitter Nazya Thies continued her impressive season with 12 kills and only three errors. She also finished with an attack percentage of .346.

“It was fun to be out there, I felt like it was a whole new environment with the team, we were excited, we were playing together, overall it was just a great win.”

Thies said. “I stayed playing relaxed; sometimes when I get too worked up or anxious then I make errors, so I just tried to have a cleared mind.”

The Jacks hit the road on Friday and came out victorious de-

feating Western Illinois three sets to one. “[This was] our best offensive showing this year,” Cirillo said.

“We were consistent throughout the entire match and just played great volleyball.”

Outside hitters Ashley Beaner and Mikayla Hora each had career-highs, recording 20 and 25 kills, respectively.

“They both have shown that they can do that, it just kind of came together Friday night, every time they touched the ball there were very few times it didn’t hit the floor.” Cirillo said.

The Jacks now have an overall record of 3-20 and 2-5 in the Summit League.

“It really all came together; we’ve been playing good since the start of the season, it was just starting on Tuesday all of our attackers were on the same page for the first time.” Cirillo said.

The Jackrabbits return home this Friday when they take on the Denver University Pioneers at 7 p.m. in Frost Arena.

Athlete of the Week

TARYN CHRISTION

After leading the South Dakota State football team to their second win in as many starts as a true freshman, Taryn Christion is this week’s Collegian Sports Athlete of the Week.

Christion completed 8-of-14 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown, and also gained 75 yards on the ground this Saturday against Youngstown State. He scored on a 70-yard run early in the fourth quarter for the middle of three second-half touchdowns for the Jackrabbits.

The Sioux Falls native got his

first start in place of the injured Zach Lujan two weeks ago at home against Indiana State, and threw for 221 yards and a score, while adding 99 yards and a 12 yard touchdown run on the ground.

Christion was named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week after both games, and was also the STATS National Freshman of the Week following the Indiana State game.

The nationally ranked Jackrabbits, 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the MVFC, host Northern Iowa on Saturday, Oct. 24. Kickoff for the annual Hobo Day game is set for 2 p.m. at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.

Zenner suffers season-ending injury AUSTIN HAMM Sports Editor After becoming a star of the NFL preseason, Detroit Lions’ running back and former South Dakota State standout Zach Zenner has had his rookie season shut down after suffering multiple cracked ribs and a partially collapsed lung during Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Zenner went down in the second quarter and was examined on the field before heading to the locker room under his own power. The Lions later ruled him out for the remainder of the game with a chest injury, but the true extent of the injury was not known until Lions’ Head Coach Jim Caldwell addressed the me-

dia Monday afternoon, when it was announced that Zenner was hospitalized for the collapsed lung, and would likely undergo surgery.

Caldwell spoke highly of the undrafted rookie, taking the the time to make sure that the severe nature of Zenner’s injury was acknowledged.

“He’s an integral part of what we do from an offensive standpoint,” Caldwell said. “Tough, rugged guy, but also very involved in our special teams and just a quality person as well.”

After heading to the season-ending Injured Reserve, Zenner ends his rookie year with 60 yards on 17 carries. He will look to reestablish his niche role with Detroit headed into next season.

Inskeep leads Jacks in win over USD, draw with NDSU GOJACKS.COM

The South Dakota State soccer team went 1-0-1 this past weekend in a pair of matches with South Dakota and North Dakota State.

On Friday, SDSU dominated from start to finish, defeating rival USD 2-0 at Fishback Soccer Park.

With the win, the Jackrabbits’ secured the second point in the South Dakota Showdown Series, sponsored by South Dakota Corn.

Overall, the Jackrabbits outshot the Coyotes, 25-4, and scored a goal in each half. Reigning Summit League Offensive Player of the Year Diana Potterveld, a senior from Fort Collins, Colo., scored the first goal for the Jacks 31 minutes into the game. Potterveld notched her third goal of the season.

In the 80th minute of play, senior Alyssa Brazil obtained SDSU’s second goal of the game when she sent the ball rolling into the net out of the goalkeeper’s reach.

The goal was Brazil’s second of the season and moved her into the eighth-place spot on the SDSU career charts with 17 goals.

Junior Nicole Inskeep made one save for the Jacks, adding another shutout to her record. University of South Dakota’s Katelyn Floysand nearly gave the Coyotes an early lead as she sent the ball soaring to the net just under the crossbar, but Inskeep made a jumping save by tipping the ball behind the net and out of danger.

SDSU played the NDSU Bison in a Summit League women’s soccer match between two undefeated squads, resulting in a scoreless tie after two overtime periods Sunday afternoon at Fishback Soccer Park.

Starting the game with a 20 mph

wind to the Jackrabbits’ backs, SDSU had a difficult time finding the back of the net. Three shot attempts were made by both the Bison and the Jacks in the first half.

Early in the second half, the Jackrabbits were awarded a penalty kick, which was taken by junior Madison Yueill.

Shooting into the wind, Yueill’s attempt veered just left of the goalpost.

North Dakota State outshot the Jackrabbits eight to six in the second half, but neither team was successful in locking in a goal, sending the game into overtime.

After a scoreless overtime period, the game moved to a second overtime period, where the Jackrabbits and the Bison both played defensively. NDSU attempted two shots and the Jackrabbits three in the final period.

Overall, shots were even at 15. Inskeep made five saves for the Jackrabbits.

Inskeep was named The Summit League Defensive Player of the Week for her efforts in the two shutout performances.

Inskeep leads The Summit League in save percentage (.855) and goals against average (0.83).

“Nikkie has been very solid all season, so I am delighted to see her recognized for her stellar play,” said Head Coach Lang Wedemeyer about Inskeep’s performance on the field.

This is Inskeep’s third-career award, and first award of the season.

The Jacks’ overall record moves to 8-4-2, and the Bison now stand at 9-51. In conference play, SDSU is 3-0-1, and NDSU is 4-0-1.

The Jackrabbits will travel to play Oral Roberts Thursday in Tulsa, Okla.

Kickoff will be at 3 p.m.

Jacks stomp Youngstown State LOGAN MEYER Sports Reporter

Coming off of a 24-7 victory against the Indiana State Sycamores at home, the South Dakota State football team spoiled their opponent’s homecoming on Saturday in Youngstown, Ohio. The Jackrabbits used another strong performance from freshman quarterback Taryn Christion, who repeated as MVFC Newcomer of the Week posting a line that read 8-of-14 passing for 122 yards and also notched 75 yards rushing on 13 attempts. Christion tallied a touchdown both on the ground and through the air, and threw no interceptions.

The Jackrabbits opened play at Stambaugh Stadium in Youngstown by forcing a fumble on the game’s first play. Junior Dallas Brown forced the fumble, and he also came up with the recovery that put the Jacks in business.

The Jacks needed only one play before sophomore running back Brady Mengarelli punched it in for the game’s first score, and they led 7-0 early.

Youngstown State, on its first possession of the ballgame, was forced to punt but did so very effectively, pinning SDSU back

at the Jackrabbit two yardline. Penguins’ defender Nate Dortch was able to trap Mengarelli in the end zone, resulting in a safety and a new score of 7-2 in favor of SDSU. From then on, it would prove to be all SDSU. Following a field goal by senior Jay Carlson that gave the Jacks a 10-2 lead, the Jackrabbits got defensive coming up with an interception by way of senior Je Ryan Butler.

This again put the Jacks in business around the midfield line, and junior backup running back Kyle Paris took over offensively on the drive. He tallied every yard posted by SDSU on the drive following the interception, and scored his second rushing touchdown of the season. The score then read 17-2 with SDSU in front. The Jackrabbits were able to force a couple defensive stops before the Penguins finally got on the board again, settling for a field goal on the final play of the first half that moved the score to 17-5.

The second-half scoring tally opened the same way it closed the first half, with a Youngstown State field goal by Zak Kennedy that moved the score to 17-8 with 5:15 remaining in the third quarter. Immediately following the Penguin score,

Jackrabbit senior Trevor Wesley recorded an 81yard kickoff return that put SDSU in prime scoring position, setting up at the YSU 7-yard line. Kyle Paris soon scored his second touchdown of the day, punching in a 4-yard rush that moved the score to 24-8 in favor of South Dakota State.

The fourth quarter included much more SDSU, as quarterback Taryn Christion scrambled for a 70-yard touchdown that pretty much put the game out of reach for Youngstown State. Christion continued the onslaught later in the quarter, connecting with senior Brandon Andrews for an 11-yard score that made it 38-8, which would end up being the final margin.

South Dakota State has now moved to 11-6 all time in their series with Youngstown State. Also noteworthy, South Dakota State Head Coach John Stiegelmeier earned career win number 125.

The Jackrabbits return home to face the University of Northern Iowa next Saturday, Oct. 24, for their annual Hobo Day game.

Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m. at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium in Brookings.

Fantasy Football Update

CURTIS SAGER - Fantasy Football Analyst

We are back to the tried and true Fantasy Football Update format this week. It may be Hobo Week, but that doesn’t mean fantasy football stops. Between everyone studying and going to their classes this week, make sure you take a few minutes out of your day to check the waiver wire and set your lineups. Losing is a terrible feeling, but losing because you forgot to set your lineup - well that’s just embarrassing.

10 20 30 40 50 40 30 20 10

Athletes that exceeded expectations this week:

Chris Ivory, New York Jets RB: Here is a guy who does not get much hype at all.

He has little to no media attention, is not a loud player on game day and is definitely not high on many people’s draft boards. Ivory has somehow managed his way into the top-three fantasy running backs of the year.

He is averaging a very respectable 15.2 fantasy points per game. He put up 25.6 fantasy points this week in Standard Scoring Leagues, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Ivory is a workhorse and there are no signs of him slowing down.

John Brown, Arizona Cardinals WR: Brown has been on my radar for some time now. My brother is probably his biggest advocate and absolutely loves that Brown is on his team.

Brown is turning out to be a Point-Per-Reception monster. He caught 10 passes this week for 196 yards. He is fairly consistent and a safe bet in any fantasy lineup. Play him if you can and hope he can add a touchdown every once in awhile.

Philadelphia Eagles Defense/Special Teams: Finally, Chip Kelly’s dream is coming true. The Eagles’ defense played a superior defensive game this week. They forced three turnovers and scored a touchdown this week, while allowing only seven points to the Giants.

They are starting to find their identity on offense as well, and we can look for the Eagles to make a push as the season goes on.

Matt Stafford, Detroit Lions QB: We are really moving along in fantasy football this year and that means bye weeks are your worst nightmare. If your starting quarterback had a bye this week, hopefully your backup was Mr. Stafford, considering he threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns, netting him 40 points in SSL, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Stafford is the most consistently inconsistent fantasy quarterback. When he is good, he is 40 points good. When he is bad he looks like Blaine Gabbert; if you don’t remember who Blaine Gabbert is, you’re not alone. Hopefully you were one of the beneficiaries of Stafford’s performance, but if you have a true starter, feel free to continue to bench Stafford.

Who to watch for next week:

Ryan Fitzpatrick, New York Jets QB: The bearded veteran Fitzpatrick is having a solid season which makes for a nice fantasy season. He scored 27.8 points in ESPN SSL this week and is averaging 19 points per game this year. He is facing a Patriots team that is ranked 27th in fantasy points given up to opposing quarterbacks, according to ESPN Stats and Info. With this favorable matchup, Fitzpatrick is a safe play.

Benjamin Watson, New Orleans Saints TE: Watson is a bit of a gamble—he had one huge week and not much else. He caught 10 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. The Saints are looking to fill the void left by Jimmy Graham’s departure and Watson can fit the bill. He has a big frame and good hands; if he can continue to get open, we could see him flourish. At the same time, the Saints are pretty terrible this year, so do not get too emotional if he busts next week.

Stefon Diggs, Minnesota Vikings WR: I love writing about fantasy football, and I especially love it when a Vikings player has a day worthy of writing about. Rookie receiver Diggs caught seven passes this week for 129 yards. The week before their bye he had six catches for 87 yards. He gets a lot of targets and his quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has a lot of faith in him. His teammate Mike Wallace compares him to Antonio Brown, with a reputation like that, Diggs is a must-add this week.

James Starks, Green Bay Packers RB: If your running backs are having a hard time staying healthy this year and you need a decent back, think about taking Starks. He isn’t the feature back in Green Bay and doesn’t get a huge workload, but he had a huge week, with 10 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown.

He is a nice change of pace back to compliment Eddie Lacy, and he sees some decent production almost every week.

10 20 30 40 50 40 30 20 10

I hope everyone has a good week. Mid-season is just around the corner, so make that gamble and start pushing for the playoffs. Good luck and remember to follow me on Twitter @GoodFntsyAdvice.

Men’s and women’s swimming drop season openers at UND AUSTIN HAMM Sports Editor The South Dakota State men’s and women’s swim and dive teams traveled to Grand Forks, N.D. this past Saturday to face off against the University of North Dakota in a dual.

Both teams came up short and dropped their season opener.

“North Dakota has a very, very good team, and we knew going in it would be a tough meet,” SDSU Head Coach Brad Erickson said. “I told the team this is the place where we build the base for the season. Overall, I was pleased with most of the swims.”

The University of North Dakota claimed 13 of 16 event titles, defeating South Dakota State, 215-85, in a women’s swimming and diving dual Saturday afternoon at the Hyslop Sports Center.

The Jackrabbits, who were competing in their season opener, were paced in the swimming events by Julia Bodnaruk and Kristin Erf. Bodnaruk claimed the 200yard freestyle. Erf led a Jackrabbit sweep of the top two places in the 200 breaststroke. Kayce Smith was second. Erf added a runner-up finish in the 100 breaststroke.

Olivia Olesiak closed out the individual titles for the Jackrabbits by winning the 1-meter diving competition.

Hadlie Overhue contributed a runner-up finish in the 500 freestyle as she was edged

by UND’s Gabi Leidy by .11 seconds. Leidy won the 500 freestyle in 5:12.82, and added a victory in the 1,000 freestyle.

On the men’s side, Parker Brown and freshman Wyatt Rumrill each won two events, leading SDSU to a 171-129 loss.

A sophomore from Cambridge, Minnesota, Brown won the 1-meter competition, and completed the sweep of the diving events on the 3-meter board.

With the loss of zones-qualifier Connor Florence on the boards, Erickson liked what he saw from Brown as the dive squad looks to replace Florence’s leadership and production.

“Parker has learned some new dives already this fall. He’s been diving well in practices,” Erickson said. “He had sprained his ankle earlier in the week and we weren’t sure how close to 100 percent he’d be, but he still managed to win both boards. It was good to see, and I think he’s going to be taking over that leadership role.”

In his first collegiate meet, Rumrill, a Pierre native, claimed both breaststroke events. He won the 100- and 200-yard breaststrokes. The Jackrab-

bits claimed the top three spots in the 200 breaststroke, with Josh DeDina finishing second and Geoffrey Longhurst placing third.

Senior Garth Wadsworth closed out the Jackrabbit individual victories by winning the 200 butterfly. He also was runner-up in the 100 butterfly.

The Jackrabbit quartet of Ben Bolinske, Tony Mikrut, Chris Rumrill and Daniel Jacobson closed the meet by winning the 400 freestyle relay. Bolinske added a pair of top-three individual finishes in the sprints, placing second in the 50 freestyle and third in the 100 freestyle.

With the first dual of the season in the books, Erickson knows there were plenty of quality performances to build from, but is willing to admit that the team cannot let up from here on out as they plan on contending

at the Summit League Championships in the spring.

“We told everybody that we need to get a lot better and keep working hard in practice,” Erickson said. “The 200 and 500 races are what we really need to focus on, and we really need to focus on pacing. That kind of comes from more racing, and we expect that to get better and better each meet.”

The women will play host to Northern Iowa on Friday, Oct. 23, starting at 4 p.m. at the HPER pool, but the men will be off until a dual at South Dakota on Nov. 11.

“It’s just a fact with the schools we’re facing having women’s teams but not men’s,” Erickson said. “The men will be patient and wait for that next competition and the women will be ready for the quick turnaround.”

Equestrian gets in win column, tops Minnesota-Crookston GOJACKS.COM South Dakota State sophomore reiner Mariah Wright tied the SDSU career record with her sixth-career MOP on Friday, as the Jackrabbits cruised to a 12-3 win over Minnesota-Crookston at the DeHaan Equestrian Center.

The win marks the first on the season for the Jacks, who move to 1-2, while the Golden Eagles fall to 0-1 in NCEA competition.

“I’m really happy with our performance today, it feels really good to get our first win, and hopefully that propels us into a big weekend at the end of the month at TCU and SMU,” Head Coach Ellie Wilkins said. “The girls rode great today, and it’s exactly what we needed.”

Wright scored a 70 in earning MOP honors for the first time this season. Her sixth-career MOP ties her with Laura Dunlavy (2010-14) and Angela Gebhart (2007-11) who both won six in their All-American careers.

The Jacks started the day with a clean sweep over fences, with Jessica Andronowitz, Marielle Golden, Alissa Greenwald and Blair Julia Wright all winning their points, with Blair Julia Wright earning her first-career over fences MOP with a score of 83.

Tennis makes noise at regional championship LOGAN MEYER Sports Reporter

The South Dakota State women’s tennis team was in action this past weekend, starting with a slate of matches played Friday at the 2015 ITA Central Regional Championship hosted by Oklahoma State.

Sixth-year Head Coach Michael Engdahl had all positive things to say about his team after their performance Friday.

“The women had the type of day we have been looking for all fall. We started slow this morning but our competitive edge was there by the end of the day,” Engdahl said. “When we competed the way we wanted to compete, we came up with some solid back-to-back wins. Our challenge now is to play with the same focus and intensity for a full day tomorrow

(Saturday).”

The victories being referenced by Engdahl would be singles victories coming from seniors Florencia Magni and Ffion Davies. Magni defeated UMKC, 6-3, 1-6, 10-3 then dropped Minnesota in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4.

Davies beat Omaha, 6-3, 6-1 and then Oklahoma, 6-0, 6-0.

Both reached the semifinals of the back draw Saturday, as Davies lost 6-3, 6-3 to Drake in the semifinals while Magni lost to South Dakota, 6-0, 6-1.

In doubles, junior Iasmin Rosa and Davies won their match defeating Oral Roberts, 8-5.

The Jackrabbits close their fall season Oct. 23 through 25 when they participate in the CSUN Invitational in Northridge, California.

As for the Jackrabbit men’s tennis squad, it closed its fall season af-

ter losing both doubles matches Friday in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Senior Henrique Pereira and freshman Emerson Styles lost 8-1 to Tulsa while junior Lucas Pereira and senior Mateus Moreira lost to Minnesota, 8-0.

“The guys had a tough go today against some high-level competition.

It was a great example of the consistency we need to work on when it comes to competing. In tournaments like this you need to be at a high level the entire weekend,” Engdahl said.

“The guys wrapped up a solid fall and should have plenty of positives to focus on in the offseason.”

The men’s side has now finished the fall season and will continue competition on Friday, Jan. 15 in a duel against DePaul University in Minneapolis.
