LETTERS TO STUDENTS Make your mark at SDSU

SA is a voice for students

BARRY DUNN SDSU President

ALLYSON MONSON SA President

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Welcome to South Dakota State! Although your time here is measured in semesters, not miles, this ancient Chinese proverb seems apropos as you take that first step onto campus as a Jackrabbit. I am grateful you have selected SDSU, and excited to join you on this critical stretch of your life’s journey.

Founded in 1881, your university is the largest in the state, and for over a century it has been evolving to meet the needs of those seeking a post-secondary degree. SDSU is an innovative, student-centered public university committed to improving life in the state, region, nation and world through research, public service and education.

As president, I am charged with providing you a rich, inclusive academic experience that prepares you for the life you imagine. As I make decisions on behalf of the whole, I will always keep in mind my obligation to you, the individual.

In return, I humbly make this request — please make your mark on SDSU. This may seem daunting, but I know you have the potential, and it’s not as difficult as you might think.

Welcome to South Dakota State University! I am excited for you to become part of the Jackrabbit family and experience all that SDSU has to offer!

I serve as your 20182019 SDSU Students’ Association President. I look forward to meeting you and seeing what we can accomplish together to make SDSU your home!

SA is the main student government body on campus. The academic colleges you belong to have student representatives that meet each week to compose and vote on legislation. These resolutions make campus a better place for you and create a culture that suits your needs. We represent over 12,000 students at SDSU and work with administration and faculty to bring your voice to the table. Additionally, we meet with leadership in the City of Brookings, South Dakota Board of Regents, and the State of South Dakota to express your thoughts.

Each of our senators also works on various committees. Some of these committees include parking and traffic, undergraduate student experience, safety and security and university food services. We work to make constant improvements on campus with your input.

Every student pays

SDSU President Barry Dunn Perhaps you will make your mark by becoming active in a campus organization. With more than 200 student organizations, we have something for you, and each group would be enriched by your involvement. The experience will also enrich you.

Perhaps you will make your mark by mentoring someone who could profit from your time and talents. You will find the more you serve others, the more worthwhile your own college experience becomes.

Perhaps you will identify a need and work to meet it. For as far as we’ve come, SDSU can improve, and you might be the student with the next great idea.

Your time here will provide countless opportunities to create a legacy that lasts well beyond your enrollment, and each begins with the single step you took onto campus today.

I look forward to meeting you soon and discussing how you are making your mark on SDSU.

SA President Allyson Monson the General Activity Fee, also known as GAF, as part of tuition. GAF pays for your student services such as access to the Wellness Canter, tickets to athletic events, access to music and theatre shows, and the Student Union. SA manages GAF, which is $2.7 million in funds. As stewards of your dollars, we work to maximize each cent to elevate the student experience.

As you begin your Jackrabbit journey, I encourage you to get involved. There are hundreds of clubs and one is bound to suit your interest. If SA is an interest to you, stop by our office.

We are located right next to the Center for Student Engagement. Also, feel free to reach out to me directly to learn more. Join us for our weekly meeting at 7 p.m. Mondays in the Lewis and Clark Room in the Student Union.

I look forward to seeing where this year takes you. Allow SA to be part of your student experience. Get involved, voice your aspirations and celebrate your success with us! Welcome to the Jackrabbit family!

THINGS TO KNOW

Learning the Campanile(Camp-uh-neel)

LINGO

The Coughlin Campanile is the face of SDSU. It is a chimes tower that stands 165-feet tall. Made of limestone and brick, the Campanile was a gift from 1909 graduate, Charles Coughlin, who made his fortune as president of the Briggs and Stratton Company.

The tower was completed May 7, 1929. The Campanile rings out the time on the hour and plays music during the 10-minute period between classes while students walk around campus.

Students’ Association (SA) SA is the representative body for students. SA allocates money to student organizations and serves as the voice of the student body.

General Activity Fee (GAF)

Hobo Day

The biggest one-day event in the Dakotas, Hobo Day is SDSU’s homecoming tradition to cap off Hobo Week.

Events lead up to the Hobo Day parade and football game that Saturday.

Main Street Not to be confused with Brookings Main Street, Main Street is the main path in The Union that connects everything The Union has to offer.

Performing Arts Center (PAC) The Performing Arts Center (PAC) is located north of the Southeast Parking Lot. The majority of concerts and other performances take place here. The PAC is currently undergoing a $50 million expansion to be completed by the end of 2018.

Wintrode Student Success Center

The GAF is the amount of money each student pays per credit hour for different activities on campus, including attending games, concerts and other events.

SA handles allocations of the GAF budget between Tier 1 (The Union and Wellness Center) and Tier 2 (student organizations).

This building is also referred to as the first-year advising center. First-year students can go to Wintrode for advising appointments, tutoring, advice on class schedules, career decisions and general guidance.

Rotunda Green & Sylvan Green

Jackrabbit Village

These are the two most referred to green spaces on campus. Rotunda Green is located right outside the Rotunda and stretches along the road toward Harding Hall and Crothers Engineering Hall. This will be the loaction for the American Indian Student Center. Sylvan Green, which holds the Sylvan Theatre, is located right outside Pugsley Center, which is on the corner of Eighth Street and Medary Avenue. These green spaces are open space for students to enjoy.

Jackrabbit Village is where the following residence halls are located: Abbott, Spencer and Thorne. These halls are co-ed, hold 412 residents and are home to only first and second year students.

Center for Student Engagement This office is located on Main Street in The Union. It provides resources and support for all organizations and helps students with general campus involvement through the Office of Student Activities. Greek Life, University Program Council and State A Thon are located in the office.

Weary Wil & Dirty Lil Weary Wil and Dirty Lil are the faces of Hobo Day and statues are erected in their honor outside the Student Union. Each year, two alumni of the Hobo Day Committee are chosen to be the famous duo. Their identities kept secret and revealed at halftime of the Hobo Day football game.

SJAC The Sanford Jackrabbit Athletic Complex is commonly referred to as the SJAC. The SJAC is home to track practice and meets, football scrimmages and more.

YEAR IN REVIEW Wokini Iniative creates new beginnings October 5, 2017 Two anonymous donors contributed $4 million for the creation of a new American Indian Student Center (AISC) and a one-time $100,000 donation for scholarships for students from the nine Native American tribes of South Dakota.

Hobo Day October 14, 2017 The annual tradition known as Hobo Day is the largest one-day event in the Dakotas. Last year was the 105th celebration and featured events throughout the week, a parade and a football game. This year’s theme for Hobo Day is “Together in Tradition.”

Campus recycling improvements January 31, 2018 South Dakota State University received a 2017 Coca-Cola/Keep America Beautiful Public Space Recycling Bin Grant. The grant, which allows State to distribute a recycling bin for each residence hall room, covers the cost of nearly 1,600 bins. For the 2017-18 academic year, South Dakota State had the goal to recycle 25 percent of all the waste generated on campus.

Colleges realigned and renamed for Fall 2018 The College of Natural Sciences will now include the biology and microbiology, chemistry and biochemistry, physics and geography departments. The College of Arts and Sciences is now the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences will now be the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences. The University college was dissolved.

SDSU wins first-ever Division I Championship March 17, 2018 Junior Seth Gross defeated Stevan Micic of Michigan, to become the first Jackrabbit to win a National Championship in NCAA Division I wrestling history. Gross finished the season 29-1.

“Setting records for the program and creating history — that’s what it’s all about,” said then head coach Chris Bono.

The new Jackrabbit wrestling head coach is Damion Hahn.

SDSU leads in ag with new facility March 28, 2018 South Dakota State University is investing resources in a new $55 million building that will be home to the nation’s first four-year degree program in precision agriculture.

The new building will give SDSU the opportunity to keep up with the advancing technologies in the agricultural industries.

Volunteers show up to help community April 21, 2018 The Student Sustainability Council hosted a first-ever community-wide volunteer day called The Big Event.

Over 75 students from 20 different organizations spent the morning volunteering at various locations around Brookings.

SDSU becomes a tobacco-free campus January 1, 2018 SDSU was previously the only South Dakota Board of Regents institution without some kind of smoke-free or tobacco-free policy, but that changed in Spring 2018. The policy includes cigarettes, chewing tobacco and E-cigarettes. In early 2016, a draft policy to establish SDSU as a smoke and tobacco-free campus passed in student and faculty representative bodies.

Part-time jobs promote in student success BRIANNA SCHREURS Editor-in-Chief A part-time job is not at the top of the list for incoming freshmen, however, maybe it should be.

The U.S. Department of Education found that students working one to 15 hours weekly have a significantly higher GPA than those who work a full-time job or don’t work at all in college.

According to Sherry Fuller Bordewyk, associate director for Career Development at SDSU, part-time jobs are more than just a GPA booster.

Working assists students in building a professional network, developing transferable skills and better know how themselves.

“There is value in every work experience. You are going to learn valuable transferable skills, whether it’s customer service, teamwork communication,” she said. “That can come

whether you’re in retail, in food, in healthcare or manufacturing.”

South Dakota State and Brookings have many opportunities for students to find jobs to reap the benefits of working parttime.

Find jobs through http://dlr.sd.gov/, Handshake or the Office of Career Development on campus can make the search easier.

Abby Flanery, junior business economics major, found her on-campus job at Information Exchange through using Handshake.

Flanery works around eight hours a week and says her employer tries to give all the employees a day off once a week.

She said she loves her job because it is great for networking.

“So many different people come up to Info Exchange on a daily basis …,” she said. “There have been multiple occasions where

someone sees me at other locations and says, “Hey, you work at Info Exchange, right?”

Bordewyk said while most first-year students may have a “strong interest in working on-campus,” there are many job opportunities off-campus too.

“We are so fortunate that the Brookings community provides such a wide-range of part-time and seasonal work. It’s a win-win for the community and employers,” Bordewyk said. “Brookings relies on students.”

Businesses like Hitch Studio, a wedding and event planning, web and graphic design studio that also sells gift and paper products, employs many student workers. Last academic year, Hitch had 20 student employees.

Taylor Livingston, retail manager at Hitch, said student employees are “always willing to learn and coming up with new ideas

that keep the full-time employees on their toes.

Most students working at Hitch are interested in graphic design, marketing and event planning.

“One thing we try really hard with is having an open culture at Hitch,” Livingston said. “We want them to be comfortable asking us questions, we want them to learn what they want to learn.”

Whether it’s learning on the job or learning in the classroom, Bordewyk said “waiting is absolutely fine. It is very much so an individual choice.”

Whenever a student decides when the right time is to go for a job, Bordewyk wants to encourage them “not to be fearful.”

“Thousands and thousands have applied and interviews and you’re not the first and not alone,” she said.

Where to work in Brookings: On-campus work:

Other tips from Sherry Fuller Bordewyk:

Jobs in the Student Union like Information Exchange, Setup Crew or State Tech • Research labs • Yeager Media Center as a production

Look out for career fairs:

Every fall during the second week of classes, there is a part-time career fair in the Volstorff Ballroom. Around 40 employers in Brookings and on-campus attend. Even if students aren’t ready for a job yet, Bordewyk said it is still a good idea to “connect early on with employers.”

Check if you apply for work study:

Work study is based on a student’s FAFSA application. There is an option to select whether or not work study interests a student. The best way to know if you apply is to call the SDSU Financial Aid office.

Diversity Academy provides intercultural certification LAUREN FRANKEN Managing Editor SDSU’s Diversity Academy offers a unique, interactive and free program where students, faculty and community members can learn about diversity on and around campus.

The Diversity Academy hosts regular hour-long sessions in the Student Union during the Spring semester.

Last Spring, the Diversity Academy offered 16 sessions which included speakers from around the United States who specialized in a variety of topics like inclusion, bystander intervention practices, equity and intersectionality.

Upon completing the program, students are awarded the Intercultural

“The certification can go on a resume or a CV and it’s important because employers will look for future employees who are familiar with inclusion and diversity.”

Semehar Ghebrekidan DIVERSITY ACADEMY COORDINATOR

Competency and Equity Advancement Certificate. Though a multitude of sessions are offered, the certification only requires a student to attend 10.

“The certification can go on a resume or a CV and it’s important because employers will look for fu-

ture employees who are familiar with inclusion and diversity,” said the program’s coordinator Semehar Ghebrekidan.

Ghebrekidan said the certificate makes students stand out because, in an increasingly more diverse job market, it’s import-

ant to hire people who are able to thrive in a multicultural workplace.

The Diversity Academy starts the semester by helping students identify which communities they belong to, what they entail, what problems the communities face and their position within those communities. Eventually, students can expect to learn about diversity and inclusion on campus and in the community.

To enroll in the Diversity Academy, email the advisor for African American programs, Kas Williams. Upon enrollment, Diversity Academy will appear as a class section on D2L, where information about upcoming sessions can be found and attendance will be recorded.

SUSTAINABILITY ON CAMPUS

8 ways to live more

SUSTAINABLY JENNIFER McLAUGHLIN SDSU Sustainability specialist

Join in the growing sustainability culture at South Dakota State University. Being sustainable not only is better for the environment and society, but it is also beneficial to you.

1. Recycle.

Trash and recycling bins are located across campus with a color coding system where yellow bins are for trash and blue bins are for recycling. Recycling (and trash) bins are also available in each dorm room. A recycling guide is available on the SDSU Sustainability Website.

2. Watch the water.

Turn the water off when you brush your teeth. Running the water as you brush your teeth, wastes around four gallons of water. Over the course of one year, that adds up to 1,460 gallons, which is about the volume of 18 standard-sized bathtubs.

3. Unplug.

Unplug electronics when not in use. Many electronics still use energy even when they are turned off, but still plugged in. Unplugging electronics when they are not in use is an easy way to save energy.

4. Ditch driving.

Ride your bike or walk. Not only does riding your bike or walking (instead of driving) reduce pollution, but it also makes you healthier and feel happier.

5. Keep clothes cold.

Wash your clothes in cold water.

According to an article in The Christian Science Monitor, washing your clothes in cold water uses 15 times less energy than washing your clothes in hot water.

6. No more bottled water.

Besides the environmental benefits, using a reusable water bottle has economic benefits, too. According to an article written by Sustainability at Wake Forest University, “The average American is likely to spend $588 on 168 bottles of water” in one year.

A Nalgene water bottle at Walmart costs $12. Water from SDSU water fountains and bottle refill stations is free.

7. Use reusable ware.

Did you know that Aramark sells reusable cups, coffee-mugs, to-go containers, and bags? To-go boxes cost $4.99, but when you use this box you don’t have to pay the $0.50 for a disposable container. Thus, it only takes 10 uses for the to-go box to pay for itself. Using reusable ware helps reduce the amount of waste we generate on campus.

8. Print double-sided.

This cuts your paper usage in half. Briggs Library printers are set up to automatically print double-sided.

The University Campus Police Department building is located east of Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium on Jackrabbit Avenue. The force employees about 25 officers, all of whom are put through constant training to ensure optimum community security.

SDSU, Brookings achieves award-winning safety IAN LACK Reporter South Dakota State University was recognized as the 22nd safest campus in a list of 100 U.S. universities for 2018. It was the only South Dakota school to be named in the list from the National Council for Home Safety and Security.

According to the Annual Campus Security Report, last year there were 30 on-campus crimes reported. Those crimes include rape, burglary and fondling. The National Center for Education Statistics notes the national crime average for universities at about 35 incidents per year.

Nearly all accredited state schools were accounted for when creating the list, barring schools with enrollment under 10,000 students.

In addition, the city of Brookings was named the

second-safest city in South Dakota this year, coming in behind Brandon. The website notes Brookings’ violent crime rate at less than half of South Dakota’s average.

Chief Timothy Heaton said his UPD officers are constantly being put through training to ensure they are best suited to interact with the public and deal with any situation that may arise.

“Just about every one of my officers is an instructor for a law enforcement area,” Heaton said. “I’ve got instructors in radar. I’ve got instructors in firearms.

I’ve got instructors in unarmed self-defense. It goes on and on.”

Five years ago the university began to engage the entire campus community in a dialogue surrounding safety, said Michael Adelaine, vice president for Technology and Safety at SDSU. “The mindset changed

to ‘we need to engage the whole campus community in this process,’” Adelaine said. “It couldn’t be just university police.

It couldn’t be just IT on the cybersecurity side. It couldn’t be just environmental health and safety for the labs. The whole campus community, including students, had to take ownership in this.”

Amber Alvey is a senior communication studies student and a senator for Students’ Association. She also chairs the SA Safety and Security Committee and has been pushing efforts to increase safety on campus.

Alvey and the committee work to maintain the Blue Light Emergency Phones around campus, communicate with UPD on behalf of students and propose legislation that would improve safety conditions on campus.

“I think this is a really great accomplishment for

SDSU and something that we should all take pride in because we all have a role on campus to help make this a safer place,” Alvey said. “So I take pride that SDSU was named 22, but we also know we have more work to be done to work with faculty and other students.”

Heaton said the best way to improve safety conditions on campus was if every student took up the issue for themselves in their own lives on campus.

“To me, I think we are one of the safest campuses in the country because our students choose not to make this a crime-oriented campus,” Heaton said. “It’s when people kind of let things slide that situations can get out of control and bad things happen. But I would have to put half of the credit on the fact that our students are out there doing good.”

STUDENT HACKS

What to/not to

BRING TO COLLEGE

BRIANNA SCHREURS Editor-in-Chief The summer before college has many new college students trying to figure out what to bring – and what not to bring – to college.

Unfortunately, the list of supplies can grow long for students who overestimate the space of a dorm room.

Here’s some things to and not to bring to assist in crossing off or adding items to the packing list.

1. Don’t bring:

3. Don’t bring: a Keurig

In the end, Keurigs take up space and making coffee becomes a waste of time. With four coffee spots on campus, there is really no need for Keurig. Besides, you’ll find spending Flex is a lot harder without budgeting for coffee.

4. Do bring:

NyQuil and other medicine

a printer

Save yourself money and stress by using printing on campus. There are many printing stations around campus, in The Union, Briggs Library and Larson Commons, to name a few. Printing is 5 cents for a black and white page and 15 cents for a color page using Hobo Dough.

2. Do bring:

Super Glue Things will break. Whether it’s your dorm furniture or arts and crafts, always be prepared to stick things back together with a super strong binding glue.

When sickness strikes and mom isn’t there, you’ll have to fend for yourself. Make sure when sickness strikes (It will. Usually a wave hits campus two weeks in), you want to make sure you have enough NyQuil and Emergen-C to keep healthy enough to make it to class.

5.

Don’t bring: Every clothing item you own It sounds like a simple rule. However, it’s easy to break when preparing for the unknown. When preparing for college, think comfortable and practical. Bring your favorite pair of jeans, two dressy outfits but draw the line at some point and remember less is more.

6. Do bring:

a reusable water bottle Americans buy more than 42 billion single serving plastic water bottles annually, with almost eight out of 10 ending up in a landfill or incinerator.

Reduce your footprint on campus and invest in a reusable water bottle. There are water bottle filling stations all over campus so you’ll never be without water. If taste is an issue for you, get a bottle that filters to make each sip tastier.

7. Don’t bring:

Knick-knacks and lots of decor Everyone likes a nice pillow, but 10 pillows, two lamps and chairs won’t work in the residence halls. Having items that make college feel like home is essential, however, at the end of the academic year you’re responsible for hauling it all out of your room. Not fun.

8.

Do bring: a card holder You’ll be using your student ID a lot. From getting into your residence hall to buying Chickfil-A, you’ll need to have easy access to it. Get a card holder or case for your student ID.

What does it mean to be a Jackrabbit?

JAMIE NELSON, high school math teacher and coach Jackrabbit since 1998 • Major: Mathematics Education Being a Jackrabbit means being part of a community – I can’t go anywhere without running into another Jackrabbit, it’s an instant bond. The connections I made with professors and other students gave me great resources to get a good start in my career.

JIM WOSTER, SDSU Foundation for College of Ag/Bio Jackrabbit since 1958 • Major: Animal Science Everything I’ve been lucky enough to do has started with an education. I was the first of both sides of my family to go to college. I met my wife – she was an English major – here and it’s just what we do, it’s our second family.

SPORTS Top 5 moments in Jackrabbit Athletics ANDREW HOLTAN Sports Editor

1. Seth Gross wins first Division I Wrestling Championship

Junior wrestler Seth Gross came up short in the 2017 NCAA Wrestling Tournament and was on a path to redemption in 2018. Gross lost only one match in the regular season when he moved up to the 141-pound weight class to face Wyoming’s Bryce Meredith.

Gross defeated Stevan Micic of Michigan in the national championship 13-8 and finished with a record of 29-1 in 2017-18. This was the first national champion for SDSU since going to Division I in 2004.

2. Men’s and women’s basketball defeat South Dakota in Summit League

Some media members called it “the biggest day in South Dakota sports history” when the SDSU men and women were matched up against USD in the Summit League Basketball Championship.

Even though the games weren’t all that competitive, it was a good day for SDSU. The men defeated the Coyotes 97-87 and the women won 65-50. Both teams ended up falling in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

3. Football defeats NDSU in Dakota Marker Game

The Jackrabbit football team needed a great performance against NDSU if they wanted to make the FCS Playoffs, and they did just that. SDSU dominated from start to finish, forcing five turnovers and defeating the Bison 33-21.

This was the second straight season the Jacks won the Dakota Marker Game. The Bison did however go on to win the FCS Championship, while the Jacks fell to James Madison in the semifinals 51-16.

4. Soccer goes undefeated in

Summit League regular season The 2017 season for the SDSU soccer team ended abruptly when they fell to North Dakota State 2-0 in the semifinals of the Summit League Tournament. But that doesn’t erase what the Jacks did in the regular season.

SDSU went 11-5-3 overall and 7-0 in the Summit League. This was the second time the Jacks had gone undefeated in the regular season, with the first time coming in 2011 when they went 8-0-1.

5. Cayo and King both win Summit League Athlete of the Year in cross country Junior Rachel King and sophomore Chase Cayo each won Summit League Athlete of the Year in cross country. Both won the Summit League Championship race. King and Cayo also competed in the NCAA Midwest Regionals. King came in 10th and Cayo came in 45th.

SDSU alums make impression in NFL offseason TRENTON ABREGO Sports Reporter The number of South Dakota State alum in the National Football League grew substantially over the off-season when four former Jackrabbits received at least a chance on a squad.

Dallas Goedert was the top draft prospect for the Jacks and was thought to be a first round draft pick. That never materialized for Goedert.

On the second day of the NFL Draft, Goedert was selected by the reigning Super Bowl 52 Champion Philadelphia Eagles at No. 49.

Goedert will join a Missouri Valley Football Conference alum in quarterback Carson Wentz, who attended North Dakota State from 2011 to 2015.

“I think the Philadelphia coaching staff is going to do an incredible job to put us in the best situations to win and I’m excited to play there,” Goedert said to www.philadelphiaeagles.com Last season, Goedert had 1,111 yards and seven touchdowns.

Goedert isn’t the only receiver that the Jacks will miss during the 2018-19 season.

Standout wide receiver Jake Wieneke had a historic career at SDSU, but it wasn’t enough for him to get drafted. Instead Wieneke went undrafted in the 2018 draft, but didn’t have to wait long for a phone call.

The Minnesota Vikings, called Wieneke almost imediately after the draft ended and signed Wieneke to a contract.

Wieneke, the Maple Grove, Minnesota, native will now have a chance to don the purple and gold he idolized growing up with players like Randy Moss.

During the offseason leading up to his senior season, Wieneke worked out with fellow Minnesota Viking, Adam Thielen.

“I definitely look up to (Thielen) and have learned a lot from him and look forward to continuing to learn a lot from him,” Wieneke told www.vikings.com.

Like Thielen, Wieneke is also a Minnesota product who came out of his college career undrafted.

Three-time captain and center Jacob Ohnesorge started 53 straight games for the Jacks. Throughout his college career, Ohnesorge displayed durability and lead-

ership.

It was enough for the Waunakee, Wisconsin, native to get at least a phone call.

Ohnesorge was invited to the Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp but wasn’t offered a contract after the conclusion. The Atlanta Falcons also decided to give Ohnesorge a shot during their rookie minicamp, but he was also unable to obtain a contract offer from Atlanta.

At time of this publication, Ohnesorge has yet to sign a contract with an NFL squad.

Defensive lineman Kellen Soulek also went undrafted, but that doesn’t mean teams weren’t interested in the Yankton native.

Soulek drew plenty of interest after the draft when he received four tryout offers. The Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers invited Soulek to their tryout camps.

Soulek played as a tackle at SDSU, but during the Minnesota Vikings tryout, he was listed as a guard.

At time of publication, Soulek had not signed a professional contract.

Goedert and Wieneke, who are on NFL contracts,will join three fellow SDSU alum in kicker Adam Vinatieri (Indianapolis Colts), running back Zach Zenner (Detroit Lions) and offensive guard Bryan Witzmann (Kansas City Chiefs) in the league.

The NFL season will kickoff September 6, 2018 when Goedert and the Philadelphia Eagles host the Atlanta Falcons.

Yellow and Blue We come from the Sioux and Missouri, The Cheyenne and the Jim, From pine clad peaks of the Black Hills, Brimful of vigor and vim, We sing the song of the prairie, The home of the Yellow and Blue.

The gleaming gold of the corn field, The flax of azure hue.

Oh SDSU hurrah for the Yellow and Blue; Old SDSU all honor and glory to you; Forever raise the song in praise both loud and long With loyal hearts so true (so true).

Stand up and clap It’s simple: stand up and clap along with our fight song “Ring the Bells.”

You’ll be ahead of other Jacks if you’re able to sing the lyrics to the fight song. Some upperclassmen may teach you alternative versions.

Cowbells The cowbell dates back to the 1920s when students from the University of South Dakota referred to South Dakota State College (now South Dakota State University) as a “cow college.” SDSC students then decided that if they were going to be the cow college they might as well bring cowbells to football games. It’s been a tradition and school symbol ever since, but cowbells are not allowed at any athletic events.
