Bison vs. Cancer: Kelsi Novitsky
Contributing Writer
Several of the 449 people who gathered for NDSU’s ninth annual Relay for Life on Saturday had experienced cancer first-hand, and like all cancer survivors, they have a story to tell. Cancer survivor Steve Kluck, from Rochester, Minn., drove 5 hours with his wife, Pam, to participate in NDSU’s Relay for Life. Kluck participates in Rochester’s Relay for Life every summer. His daughter, sophomore nursing student Emily Kluck, created a team called Bison Strong with her friends and invited her parents to join. “I’ve always wanted to go into a healthcare field, especially because of all the people I know who’ve had cancer. It’s definitely a factor,” Emily said. Pam was diagnosed with melanoma in 1980. It was removed by surgery, but it came back a few years later.
Fargo Community Walks in Ninth Annual Relay for Life
Today, she is completely recovered. Pam and Steve’s first-born child, Patrick, was diagnosed with Leukemia at 9-months old. “He went in for his 9-month check-up, and when they took a blood sample, they found something odd, and it turned out to be Leukemia, and we fought it for another 9 months,” Kluck said. “He did hit remission at one point, in January. He hit remission, and then on Mother’s Day he was sick enough that we had to bring him in and he went downhill from there. He was a trooper though, smiling up to the last day. It was a struggle, no doubt about it.” A year later, the Klucks had their second child, Brianne, who is a senior at St. Ben’s. The Klucks ran a golf tournament for 17 years to raise money for cancer research before getting involved with Relay for Life. Throughout last week, students noticed purple ribbons hanging from trees

Along the relay track, Luminarias are placed to represent cancer survivors, as well as those who have lost their lives. “Cancer never sleeps, so for one night, neither will we,” said Relay for Life co-chair Zane Frick. “Relay provides an opportunity to
celebrate the survivors of cancer, remember the ones we have lost to cancer, and fight back against this terrible disease.” Along with the traditional relay walk, the night also included Redbull pong, two hours of zumba, yoga, inflatable games, bands and musical performances, the Mr. Relay pageant and Min-

ROTC Cadets Aid Army Family in Sandbagging Efforts Lisa Marchand Staff Writer
On the first spring-like day of the year, 17 NDSU Army ROTC cadets headed out on a sandbagging mission to assist a family they had never met, but one to which they already had a strong connection. Retired Army Major and Bison alumnus Jason Kaseman and his wife Sharon, also retired Army, reached out to the cadets early last week for help to build a sandbag wall around their south Fargo home. They explained that instead of asking friends, family or coworkers to help for another year in a
row, they chose to seek out future officers. After receiving an email from Kaseman just days before, Cadet Battalion Commander T.J. Peterson quickly agreed to round up some fellow cadets to assist the Kaseman family. “It’s not too hard to get these guys to volunteer for stuff,” Peterson explained. “It really just goes to show the caliber
of cadets in our program. They’re willing to help other people out at the drop of a hat, even if they have to move their schedules around.” These aspiring Army officers knew their assignment and executed it professionally, respectfully and with smiles on their faces. The Kasemans expressed their gratitude repeatedly for the young men and woman for taking time out of their day to help. “I love their free spirit. I love their willingness to volunteer...

FABO Brings ‘Fresh’ Spring Fashion to the Runway Josie Eyers
Head News Editor
Charisma and confidence strutted the runway at this year’s 12th annual FABO Fashion Show. The Fashion Apparel Business Organization based the theme of this year’s show on inspiration from fresh spring fashion trends, like a “breath of fresh air,” co-coordinators of the event announced at the beginning of the show. Family, friends, faculty and students packed the Memorial Union Ballroom on Wednesday to watch and cheer on the more than 60 models in the show. Several area high schools also attended the show. “I always hear roaring laughter when male models walk out,” said Erica Kale, sophomore in retail merchandising and one of four co-coordinators of the show. “I feel like watching them is one of the best parts of the show for the audience.” The show featured 20 student-designed garments that were mostly created during three NDSU courses: pattern drafting and grading, product development/ designing pants and apparel construction. Several students modeled their own designs.
“I poured my heart and soul into my goal,” said one student designer during a video that showed students hard at work creating their apparel. The show also featured women’s fashion trends of lace, sheer and crop-tops, pastel colors, floral patterns and black and white prints from 19 area retailers. Men’s fashion trends included vibrant blues and yellows, bold stripes and camouflage print. The four co-coordinators of the show have been planning since January. Kate Hilfer and April Peterson, a junior and senior in retail merchandising, said seeing everything come together is one of the best parts about the show. “My favorite part was definitely seeing all of our hard work pay off and our ideas come together as an amazing show,” Peterson said. Hilfer said organizing the show helped her develop professional skills and gain experience in public relations. “I got to work as a team to build my communication and leadership skills,” she said. “Overseeing and managing that many people was a good experience.” Shelby Heimbuch, cocoordinator and senior in retail merchandising, said
all the people involved with the show helped make it successful. “FABO’s advisors [Linda Manikowski and Sara Sunderlin] go above and beyond their responsibilities to help us with anything we need. The fashion show would not be possible without their support and guidance,” she said. For the first year, FABO partnered the fashion show with the Red River Valley Dress for Success, a not-forprofit organization that provides disadvantaged women with professional attire. The show collected $180 in freewill donations for Dress for Success. Student projects from hospitality management, interior design and apparel programs were also showcased in the Hidatsa Room before and after the show. Projects included an autismfriendly interior design floor plan, NDSU tartan designs, an office interior design, apparel collages and clothing designs. The project showcase also featured a “Trash to Treasure” project, including a little black dress made of a window screen, black garbage bag, bubble wrap and an umbrella that was designed by Andrea Bengtson, Erik Eide and Meghan Meath.

“I felt that there had to be others at NDSU that were intrigued by feminist issues, so I decided to take action.” – Emily Driscoll, WAO President man majoring in French, started the Women’s Activist Organization, which has gained temporary organization status as of February. Driscoll, who was elected president of the WAO after its elections, formed the group because she wanted a stable organization that could advocate women’s rights year round, and was disappointed that one didn’t exist already. “I felt that there had to be others at NDSU that were intrigued by feminist issues,
so I decided to take action,” Driscoll said. “We have had the Vagina Monologues for a while, but no stable group for women’s rights advocates and feminists. At that point I decided to create the organization.” The group was instigated by some sexist comments Driscoll heard when she started classes at NDSU. As it is still in temporary status, the organization hasn’t done much besides getting members to join and figuring out how to get the organization together. Despite this, there are currently 85 members in the WAO Facebook group, and Driscoll said about 20 people show up to the meetings. Organizations can reach temporary status by having a solid group of members of about 10 (or more), and once that group is maintained for a semester, full status is more than likely achievable the next semester. This isn’t to say that the WAO has done nothing. Driscoll said the organization participated in the women’s rallies that took place in Fargo regarding the abortion legislation, and some of the members have volunteered at the women’s clinic.

follow the herd.
In the future, Driscoll hopes that the organization can expand to hold events and rallies on campus to inform students about sexism, gender roles, rape culture, reproductive rights and other topics. “If we have a motto, it is ‘to promote activism and equality on NDSU campus,’” Driscoll said. “If these topics are intriguing to an individual, our organization is a great opportunity to get involved in them.” Driscoll believes that she will leave a legacy at NDSU for women to have an outlet to express their beliefs and promote equality. “It’s nice that I have sort of left a part of me already, and it’s only my first year,” Driscoll said. “I can only hope that it continues and that we can really make a difference on campus and in our community.” For anyone, regardless of gender, who is interested, you may attend the last WAO meeting of the semester at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Hidatsa Room with no obligation to join. Other questions can be directed to Emily Driscoll at emily.jo.driscoll@my.ndsu. edu.

‘Sandbagging’ continued... Because of what they’re doing today, I’m sure that they’re going to go ahead and wear their lieutenant stripes when they’re commissioned, and wear them well,” Sharon said. The Kaseman family are no rookies when it comes to this dreaded springtime ritual. In 2009 when area rivers rose to the highest levels ever recorded, their finished basement was completely destroyed from flood waters that not even the sandbag walls could stand. Kaseman’s father, son and a family friend had to be airlifted out of their driveway by a Blackhawk helicopter because they had no way to leave their neighborhood. At the time, the now-retired soldier was on orders to leave for Iraq. He only had a few days to return home to observe the damage before heading to the Middle East.

When her son was ordered to Iraq recently, she was the one on the receiving end of that temporary goodbye. “It’s so different when you’re the mom,” she said tearfully. “Since Desert Storm started, it’s become a whole different Army. What I went through and then what these kids…are going to go through, they’re totally different, and so that’s why my heart really pours out to them.” The NDSU ROTC cadets volunteered their time and energy to a part of their own Army family, and the results were stronger than even the toughest sandbag walls.

Misery-laden ‘Mother ‘Bye Bye 17’ by Har Mar Superstar Courage’ longer than most movies Eric Lindholm
Contributing Writer
Jack Dura
Staff Writer
As the last of the F-M area’s college theatres to close this season, MSUM Theatre chose a tale of troubles against a backdrop of war: “Mother Courage and Her Children.” Written by Bertolt Brecht in the late 1930s as a response to German nationalism, this play explored and exploited contradictions and conflicts in everyday life. Main character Mother Courage is a migrant merchant, traipsing across Europe during the Thirty Years’ War, peddling her goods. Her unintelligent sons, Eilif and Swiss Cheese, are picked up early on to fight in the war, which ultimately leads to their separate demises. Courage’s daughter Kattrin is mute and yearns for a life of her own, but selling their goods is all the little family knows and has to go on. During Courage’s travels throughout Europe, she meets and runs around with a variety of characters, every which one has problems of their own. Whether it be the politically-minded army cook, the hypocritical chaplain or the rags-to-riches prostitute, the characters Courage collides with provide a myriad of mishaps. Such mishaps include a false peacetime declaration, the execution of Swiss Cheese, the near-selling of her cart, run-ins with the Catholic army, and, ultimately, the loss of everything. Courage has earned her name all right, as her unwillingness to surrender despite the toughest of times carries her forward whereas others would fail if in her shoes. MSUM senior Jayme Godding portrayed the relentless merchant woman, and it was a performance that she can be pleased about. Courage seems like a difficult character to play, one that goes deeper than a ratty costume and lines from a script. The gall of the woman was laudable; Courage having the nerve to stand up to young soldiers, army sergeants, the blustering cook and anyone else, for that matter. Other cast members can also pat themselves on the back. MSUM sophomore Annie Hardt gets a thumbsup as Courage’s pathetic
daughter, whose end is a sad one indeed. MSUM senior Nikko Raymo portrayed the questionable chaplain, whose drinking and lusty implications raised an eyebrow several times. One other golden aspect of this production was the setup of the stage. Courage’s cart was centrally located, placed in the middle of a circle which remained stationary when cast members tugged on strings to turn the outer part of the circle. This created the effect that the cart was moving when characters were “pulling” it, and also allowed for scene changes and delivery/removal of props. On a negative note, the length of this play was agonizing. From start to finish (including intermission), it was 200 minutes. Do the math and that is nearly three and a half hours. Ouch. The show began to feel like a long car-ride after the start of Act Two – stuck in a seat, growing uncomfortable, beginning to ask that question “Are we there yet?” and hoping the end is near. To be short and succinct (which this show was not), MSUM Theatre’s finale was a pleasant production that either needs a warning label on its length or a hacksaw taken to its story. Its cast was commendable, particularly Godding and Hardt. Kudos to the other cast and crew members for being the strength behind this lengthy play, and good luck for a successful start to next season. “Mother Courage and Her Children” ran at MSUM’s Gaede Stage from Apr. 24 to 27.
New York vocalist ‘Har Mar Superstar’ seeks to incorporate elements of both old and new fads to supplement his folksy groove. With a vast array of acoustic instrumentals and digital recording techniques, his second album ‘Bye Bye 17’ is full of juicy hooks and a near-inescapable groove. Har Mar, known offstage as Sean Tillmann, is something of a hidden gem in New York’s music scene. He’s had a great deal of success, but has really avoided the mainstream spotlight. Debuting in late 2000, with his single, ‘Shopping Spree,’ he has gone on to work on several profitable projects, including multiple movie soundtracks and collaborations with other artists. Tillmann’s tracks sport smooth jazz instrumentals and skillfully played
basslines, but at his core, Har Mar is a vocalist, and it is his soulful vocals that tie the entire piece together. Until the writing of this review, I had believed that multiple vocalists were involved, but rhe range of emotions Har Mar can project through his voice alone is incredibly vast and impressive unto itself. Riding the success of his new album, Har Mar is currently on tour as a headlining act, making his way from California to the East coast over the course of two months. His tour has received an immense amount of praise, and the songs from his new album are in full effect. The tour will reach the Midwest by early May, so you’d better pick up your tickets soon. I personally recommend track 1, ‘Lady you shot me,’ as a primer to the album as a whole, as its smooth vocals and tight groove made me come back to listen again and again. Another track

to try would be Track 10, ‘Late Night Morning Light,’ for a more lighter and more downtempo rhythm that highlights Har Mar’s impressive range as a vocalist. Overall, ‘Bye Bye 17’ delivers an incredibly fun experience for those seeking indie rock with a little bit of swing thrown in. Har Mar’s
‘Dust 514: Uprising’ Preview Steven Strom A&E Editor
EVE Online, along with its developer Crow Control Productions, are becoming forces to be reckoned with in the video game industry. Not only has EVE Online, perhaps the number one massively multiplayer competitor to World of Warcraft in terms of mindshare, reached its tenth year of active development and operation, but unlike Blizzard’s 800-pound gorilla, the game has actually increased in terms of both player count and word of mouth. Last week, Crowd Control held their latest EVE Fanfest, a celebration of their games held annually in Reykjavik, Iceland. At the event, they held several press conferences detailing all of their current games,

The game is set to receive its latest major update, Uprising, which the developer refers to internally as practically a free sequel that attaches to the existing game. That’s a bold claim, but based on what was shown at the latest Fanfest, it seems like they may have earned that distinction. With the Uprising patch, Dust 514 will receive a complete graphical overhaul that drastically changes the appearance of the game with

While players could previously communicate between the two titles through consumable items that cost real-world money, cross-

With the Dust 514 developers finally focusing on making the existing game better, rather than laying the infrastructure to make it work at all, it seems like the shooter is finally shaping into the experience fans were promised. That, in and of itself, is one hell of an impressive feat.

“I’m tired.” “I don’t care.” “I’d rather have the stomach flu for two weeks than write this paper.” “I’ll get to it eventually.” “If I don’t do this, will it really affect my grade?” I do not know about anyone else, but these are the thoughts that have been continuously running through my mind the past couple of weeks. As the semester is nearing its final days, the morale around campus is beginning to decline, and the astronomically high stress level seen on the faces of students (mine included) is beginning to show. It can be difficult to find any sort of motivation this time of year, especially in the school department, and I, as well as the majority of my friends, have been struggling to stay afloat throughout the flood of assignments, papers and exams. This time of year, it is far easier to skip that boring lecture or to bow out on that five-point in-class assignment than to go to class and study. But in all reality, this is the time of year that one needs to be focusing on taking class notes, which can be used for study guides, and getting those five-points you need to boost your grade. I personally have been struggling with this, but have decided that it is time to get in gear and get stuff DO-N-E… done! No more excuses. No more sitting around saying, “I’m too busy,” or “I do not have enough time.” It is time to put things into perspective and let any apprehension of completing assignments go. It is time to step up to the plate and swing away.

Hit the gym three to four times every week and focus on walking, jogging or swimming. These exercises will get your heart rate going and heighten your metabolism, which “burns calories faster and so contributes to eliminating fat around your belly.” Jumping right into the ab workouts will only help strengthen and tone your tummy, neglecting the layer of fat over the top of those muscles.

Before jumping in the shower, get a small sweat going by engaging in several reps of tummy tucking exercises. Lou Schuler, co-author of the book The New Rules of Lifting for Abs, encourages readers to steer clear of cruncher-only routines, stating that “crunches work only the muscles on the front and sides of your abdomen, but it’s important to target all the muscles of the core to get more defined abs— including lower back, hips and upper thighs.” The best exercises for an all-inclusive core workout according to Schuler are the side plank, the walkout from push-up position, and the alligator drag.

COFFEE
Hello coffee cravers. I hope if your reading this article you are a coffee addict or lover. Coffee is in fact a high caffeine beverage, but it saves a lot of students during finals. Although New Yorkers drink almost 7 times more coffee than other cities in the US, it’s still a handy beverage. Why? It’s healthy! Coffee keeps you awake, lowers you risk of heart disease, improves cholesterol, decreases metabolic syndrome and lowers your risk of a variety of cancers. Students, don’t be afraid of going to the coffee shop at the union and treating yourself. Green Mountain coffee has the best coffee and workers to help your craving.

Creating Hope Through Hip Hop Stephanie Stanislao Features Editor
Enjoy dancing? Are you an avid music lover? Well take a break from your studies, and check out the first annual Hip Hop for Hope event, at 7 p.m., tomorrow night in the Great Plains Ballroom, which is being sponsored by the NDSU Hip Hop Club. The show, which has been organized by the NDSU Hip Hop Club President, Victoria Dinampo, a junior majoring in apparel and textiles with a minor in journalism, and the rest of the clubs’ member’s, will be showcasing some of NDSU’s and the FargoMoorhead areas hottest artists. Hip Hop for Hope does not stop at just the art of hip hop dancing… no, the event will also be bringing in a variety of artistic mediums including rappers, singers and local bands like Dmill and the thrills. With this being the first ever event sponsored by the hip hop club, Dinampo
explained why the event is important to the group, as well as the NDSU campus. “I think the hip hop team is not just about dancing, but also promotes diversity. It creates a bond that tries to reach all members, and also the entire NDSU community,” Dinampo said. Another unique aspect to the show is that the proceeds raised through ticket sales will benefit Big Brothers, Big Sisters, a local charity. “We picked them, because we think they are perfect for what we are aiming for. We are aiming to give back to the community, and also we thought that their organization promotes a lot of diversity and helps teenagers, who want to have a brighter future,” Dinampo said. Although many of the artists who will be performing in the show would have done so just for fun, the fact that the event is working towards a good cause has been an added benefit for some. “’I’m performing because it’s for a good cause,
and it’s a good chance for me to come out and be who I am, and show people that I’m going to be here and that I have staying power,” Excell Bills, an artist who will be performing in the show, said. In addition to checking out the musical and artistic talents of those performing, attendees will also have the opportunity to witness a full-blown NDSU-UND hip-hop dance battle royale. NDSU hip hop club has invited the UND hip hop team for a good old fashioned dance off, that one should be sure not to miss. “They think they’re gonna bring it, but we’re definitely gonna take them down,” Quint Terry, a hip hop team member and freshman studying biology, said. To get a front row seat at Hip Hop for Hope, support an NDSU organization and help a local charity, pick up a $7 ticket tomorrow night at 7 p.m. outside the Great Plains Ballroom.

The Road Before Me The Twists and Turns of an Unknown Future “A Thought Less Traveled”
NATHAN STOTTLER Opinion Editor
With the year winding down, the end of our classes in sight, we begin to turn our eyes to the summer months. For some lucky people, the only thing on the radar will be laying on the beach, swimming, napping, and maybe even some fishing – if they can fit it into their busy sched-
“And I’ve begun to realize that this may come to be a familiar feeling – barely making it through.” ules. For the rest of us, summer means one thing: work. When I was a freshman, sophomore, even a junior, finding summer work wasn’t tough. After freshman year, I went home – the last summer I spent at home – and put in my third consecutive summer as a lifeguard. Those were the days; sitting in the lifeguard stand, getting a killer tan and yelling at kids all summer, I was living the dream. Even when I took on a job at the golf course in July of that summer, it was still a laidback, grand old time. Then, sophomore year, I decided to stay in Fargo for the summer. I got a job working at a landscaping company – it was time to start thinking about my future. It seemed the best idea for beginning to build a resume towards gaining greater career opportunities in the future. And it was a job; I was making money. Though let me tell you – the summer and a half I spent landscaping was the hardest work of my life. The 1012 hour days in the beating sun hauling block and brick and gravel were brutal, and though I learned a lot and got a decent tan and a great workout, I can say I am glad to be moving on this summer. It was tempting to go back – the steady paycheck is hard to turn down – but I made the tough decision to force myself to move on. The decision, I think, is one we all face. We can stay with the job we have – one that, though it may be mediocre, comes with a steady paycheck. It may not be the best job ever, it may even be downright awful, but having that money coming in keeps us there – it is difficult to move away from the comfort of having a steady cash inflow. Ultimately, this has a great potential to hold us back. We are reluctant to step out of our comfort zone and find opportunities that will advance our career – opportunities that carry a more weighted risk. People may never leave their hometown or their college town to pursue their dreams because they just can’t leave the comfort and stability that keeps them there. These are choices that every individual has to make.
We must each weigh our dreams against the stability we’ve established in our current lives. Some people can’t stand the thought of hemming themselves in by security, and will take on the risk of braving the unknown. Some fear the unknown so much that they never move out of their comfort zone. And some people may even find a happy middle ground that works specifically for them. I began to move away from stability this summer. This spring, I applied for 24 summer positions of varying types – from conservation internships in national forests to design internships in multinational firms – in locations across the country – from Alaska to New York and back. And because I did this, I had to tell my boss at the landscaping company that I would not be able to return for a third summer. I put myself out to the edge of the plank by turning down a forsure job – and then I put Captain Hook on the other end of the plank, prodding me with a sword towards the end of the school year. And when I fell off the end, whether or not I got a job would determine whether I sank or swam. I was fortunate enough to swim, this time. I snagged a summer job – or, as my parents said, a summer “job.” I moved away from security – so far so that my parents first balked at the idea. That idea being the accepting of an unpaid summer internship. And as my parents, after 22 years of guidance, have yet to steer me asunder, I was wont to listen carefully to their advice. In the end, I found a job that will work for me – but just barely. I have my housing and food paid for, as well as airfare to my job in Fairbanks, AK and back – but that’s it. I had to save my tax refund so that I could pay summer rent on my house in Fargo. And I still have to scrounge up some money for hiking and camping gear. It’s going to be cutting it close – but I think I can make it through. And I’ve begun to realize that this may come to be a familiar feeling – barely making it through, especially if I continue to steer my life away from the familiar and towards my highest goals and aspirations. It is nerve wracking in the extreme. I’ve done a lot of worrying and fretting about money in the last few weeks. But in the end, I think that both the work experience and the life experience I am going to gain this summer will far outweigh any downfall that comes from being dirt poor. Some of us weren’t cut out for such a life. And that’s totally okay. Yet some of us were meant to take more risks, to put ourselves out on more limbs, to risk overstepping our limits. It may be a stressful life – but I think it is going to be a more exciting, promising one at that. Nathan is a senior majoring in landscape architecture. Follow him on twitter @ nwstottler.
In Defense of ‘Diversity’ Cornel West on What the Word Really Means JOSHUA HAIDER Spectrum Staff
In writing this article, I’m anticipating two kinds of responses. One kind of person is going to look at the title and ask, “What’s there to defend?” The other is going to do the same and wonder what kind of junk is about to be peddled to them. I understand both sentiments and can blame neither of the two for thinking that something like this could turn into brainless nonsense in a big hurry. I still kind of have an image about the idea of “diversity” in my head, in which an overzealous grinning idiot would proclaim a bit too earnestly, “We all just need to get along, right? Our differences shouldn’t matter…” It often merely sounds like an attempt to give the impression of being “progressive” or “conscious” and other kinds of things that guilty fortunate white people want to be perceived as. However, I’ve learned over time that diversity, not as most people talk about, which sounds to my ears like words spoken simply for the sake of being politically correct, is something bigger than the shallow meaning which has been co-opted for political gain. Recently I’ve been listening a lot to Dr. Cornel West after seeing him in the documentary
“Examined Life.” Dr. West is an interesting character; also known as “Brother West,” he is a 59-year-old man with an afro, wide-open eyes and a noticeable gap in his top teeth, almost always wearing an old-fashioned-looking tuxedo, and he refers to all people he meets as “brother” or “sister.” Every part of his appearance seems not to match with the others. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in three years and earned his Ph.D. in philosophy in 1943. He has written 13 books, the best-known of which are “Race Matters” and “Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud.” West is a controversial figure within the circle in which he runs. Recently, he has been the object of criticism for several comments he has made about the president. When Barak Obama used Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Bible in his inauguration ceremony, West got upset, saying that the president was trying to “… use [King’s] prophetic fire as just a moment in a presidential pageantry without understanding the challenge that he presents to all those in power, no matter what color they are.” He has also called him “a black puppet of corporate plutocrats” and a “Rockefeller Republican in blackface.” One thing no one could dispute, however, is that Brother West speaks
with gusto, capable of captivating all those who listen to him. West, as a philosopher, believes that racism is alive and well, an element of supremacy within a larger interconnected social structure, but that it can be remedied and that even fortunate white people can act in solidarity with the subjugated people of America and have “authority of diversity.” For him, “authority of diversity” is “not just some deodorized bureaucratic discourse that has to do with sensitivity to those who have been excluded and discriminated against- yes, that’s a part of it!” It is a question of the kind of person they choose to be. I like West’s account of diversity. The way in which I saw the importance of diversity is related to free will, something which I covered in a pair of articles recently. Though I will leave the context ambiguous- it’s something I hope to address with the relevant parties very soon- I have seen, especially recently, that no one voice ought to be dominant in a conversation. When an individual or party is allowed to have too great a part in the conversation within culture, school, organization or any other group in which they play a part, their priorities dominate to the exclusion of the other members. A key idea from John Locke is that whenever you “mix
your labor with the Earth” to take part in something or shape something bigger than yourself, you appropriate ityou make it your own in the truest sense. This does not mean that ownership isn’t shared with all those who do the same thing- everyone involved does have a say and must be allowed to effect the context in which they act. It is the dignity they are given as people. “Diversity,” on this account, is not a lame attempt at fairness; or worse, as Dr. West cautions against the president and those of his mindset, a political grab he sees as a result of an inauthentic participation within the legacy of the struggle for justice of which Martin Luther King is only one representative. It is a fuller participation in humanity and a more penetrating examination of one’s own life. It is something all reasonable people would be able to agree with and be satisfied by. More people ought to see the world as he sees; I believe if that were the case, there would be less suspicion between right and left and those without a political affiliation, and some answers could be given as to how the United States might change policy and culture in the future.

WOMEN’S GOLF Ten Thoughts from Bison Women Win First Conference Title Saturday’s Spring Game
Sports Editor
A Fargo weekend finally felt like spring this year, but 4,921 NDSU fans spent two hours of their Saturday afternoon in the Fargodome watching the 2013 Bison football team for the first time. In a nontraditional spring game, the offense went against the defense instead of mixing teams, with defensive scoring based off of interceptions, fumbles, touchdowns, safeties and 3-and-outs. The defense beat the offense 27-16, highlighted by interceptions by Christian Dudzik and Marcus Williams and a fumble recovery by redshirt freshman and Sioux Falls native Andrew Smith. Here are ten thoughts from the annual game. A national championship ring ceremony was held before the game began at 1 p.m. that saw each player from the 2012 squad get their ring. The crowd gave the team a standing ovation at the end and may have done two double takes when short-haired Bobby Ollman and Zach Vraa were announced. It was a rough start for quarterbacks Brock Jensen and Carson Wentz. Both were intercepted on their first possessions. Jensen’s deep ball sailed way short into Dudzik’s hands and the All-American Williams just made a phenomenal play, wrestling the ball away from the receiver in midway to pick of Wentz. Wentz went on to complete 8 of 17 passes for 81 yards and Jensen went 4 for 11 for 77 yards and one touchdown. Derek McGinnis did not play due to a suspension for unknown reasons. He returned to the team Sunday. Wentz looked comfortable and poised in the pocket. He showed good awareness by taking off running several times, he rushed 6 times for 21 yards, and the crowd got a glimpse of his athleticism. Wentz even laid a big hit on Smith after the free safety recovered a fumble. The cornerback battle opposite of Williams has been much discussed. Sophomore CJ Smith got the start and had a solid showing. Smith showed tight coverage on a couple deep balls and came up with some nice open-field tackles, including one on Sam Ojuri for a 4-yard loss. The coaches seem to be giv-

Amy Anderson captured her league record third Summit League individual championship, but her teammates assisted with another historical moment. The NDSU women’s golf team captured the school’s first conference championship with a dominating performance. All five Bison golfers placed in the top 20. Anderson led the way with a 4-over-par 223, Hailey Boner was in a four-way tie for sixth with a 243, Abby Knut-
son tied for 12th at 245, Cydney Hasselberg finished tied for 14th at 246 and Sarah Storandt was 20th at a 249. NDSU went into the final round Wednesday with a demanding 24-stroke lead, but Kansas City made things interesting. The Bison shot its season worst 330 as runner-up UMKC shot the day’s best score at 317. But NDSU’s solid first two rounds led them to the 11-stroke win. After the first round Monday, Anderson and Boner were tied for second, Knutson was tied at fifth and Hasselberg was knotted
at eighth. UMKC’s Taylor Fisher was the individual leader after day one but Anderson slid atop the leaderboard after round two Tuesday. Anderson’s 1-over-par 73 was the best round of the tournament and bolted her to a four-shot lead. Boner, Knutson and Storandt joined Anderson in the top 10 after round two. Boner was sitting at 156, Knutson was at 157 and Storandt wasn’t far behind with a 162. The final round Wednesday didn’t see NDSU’s best performance, but the Bison still were able to hoist the first Summit League
trophy in program history with a three-round score of 949. UMKC finished second at 960, IUPUI was third 974, Omaha with a 979 and Western Illinois was fifth at 997. Oakland, South Dakota State, Fort Wayne and South Dakota rounded out the team standings. SDSU’s Morgan Fitts finished 11 shots behind Anderson with a 234 for an individual second place finish. The Bison now advance with its automatic berth in the NCAA regionals. The regionals are held at Auburn, Oklahoma and Stanford at May 9-11.

NDSU sophomore golfer Bill Carlson lived up to the motto of the state of Texas, “Drive Friendly- The Texas Way.” Driving the golf ball in the fairway and lived up every minute of it, claiming Summit League All-Tournament Team. He finished 6-over-par to lead the Bison to a fifth-place finish at the Summit League men’s golf championship on Wednesday at Sky Creek Ranch. Carlson posted a 2-over 74 in the final round and finished six shots behind the winning score of even-par 216, which was posted by individual champion Korbin Kuehn from Kansas City. The Roos’ finished with the top three finishers and won the team title with a score of 880. South Dakota placing second at 899, South Dakota State placing third at 912, Western Illinois placing fourth finished at 917 and the Bison placed fifth at 924. Bison senior Nathan Anderson finished tied for 15th
place after posting a bogey and double bogey on Nos. 17 and 18 for his final round of 80. He finished with a score of 230 14-over. Anderson experienced his worst two scores of the season in the final two rounds. Bison freshman Connor Holland finished tied for 28th place posting a 238, sophomore Trent Olson and senior Nate Varty both tied for 36th with 245. After the second day of the tournament, the Bison struggled a bit, posting four rounds of scores of 78. The team went to bed that night sitting in fifth place and hoping for a better final round. Bill Carlson was four shots behind the leader, looking to
move up a few spots in his final round. Carlson posted a 4-over-par 148. Nathan Anderson was standing alone at 12th place after shooting a 6-over-par 150. Connor Holland was tied for 30th posting a 159, Nate Varty was tied for 38th posting a 166, and Trent Olson was tied for 40th posting a 168. The leader of the tournament after the second round was Antoine Rozner who posted a score of evenpar 144 and had a one-stroke lead. After the first round of the tournament Bill Carlson was only one shot behind the leaders, the leaders of the pack are teammates from Kansas City. Antoine Rozner and Korbin Kuehn
were sitting on a 3-under score of 69. Carlson shot a 2-under-par score of 70; he carded three birdies on the final seven holes of his first round. The Bison were in fourth place with a 303 after the first round. Nathan Anderson was in a solid sixth place with an even-par round of 72. Trent Olson finished with a first round 80, Connor Holland carded an 81, and Nate Varty brought in the clubhouse a score of 88. UMKC earned The Summit League’s automatic berth in the NCAA men’s golf tournament that begins with six regionals, starting May 16-18.

ing Smith a hard look at that starting spot and it may be his to lose. The players looked to be having fun out there, playfully jawing at each a few times. After Jensen’s pass to Demitrius Gray in the endzone was ruled out of bounds, coach Bohl had the officials look at it again. Jensen was seen giving Smith, who was covering Gray, some goodspirited grief after the call was overturned. Gray and fellow redshirt freshman receiver Carey Woods showed they can provide instant depth to the receiver position. Gray was thrown to deep on a few occasions and could be another downfield threat with Vraa. Woods had two impressive plays. He showed his openfield moves with safetywhiffing spin move after the catch and then snagged in a crossing route later in the game for 57 yards total. The two big North Dakota boys seemed to hold the edge fine. Landon Lechler took reps at the left tackle and 311-pound Jack Plankers played right tackle. The line gave up a few sacks, but the future looks big and bright. Grant Olson, Carlton Littlejohn and Travis Beck can breathe a sigh of relief as linebacker depth looks to be much improved. Beck was sidelined with an injury and redshirt freshman MJ Stumpf took the start at outside linebacker. Stumpf and Esley Thorton looked quick to the ball and both have taken advantage of spring ball. Thorton, the backup QB last year, is up to 220 pounds. You don’t see a fullback trying to hurdle defenders very often, but sophomore Andrew Bonnet doesn’t seem to care. He attempted to do so in the spring game but was taken out at the feet. Fans know Bonnet has the ability; the 245-pound fullback did it last year. It’s tough to speculate the direction of this team after Saturday’s game. It’s tough to do so in general after a spring game, but with 21 players on the inactive list, this year makes it nearly impossible. Fans were checking the roster for numbers almost every-other play because of the unknown faces. It was an unpolished performance by both sides of the ball, but that’s what’s expected in a spring game. Like Bohl said during the ring ceremony, the focus is now on Kansas State and the season ahead.

a two-run home run. With two outs in the third inning, Grable hit a single, and scored on an RBI triple made by Jenina Ortega to make the score 3-0. The Bison added one more run on in the fourth inning, coming from a home run by freshman Sam Peterson. Johnson picked up the win for the Bison, striking out six batters and walking two. Men’s Track and Field Last Saturday, both men and women competed hard in the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Senior Casey Orgon took second in the hammer throw with a mark of 213-02, which also ranks him 16th nationally in the event. The shuttle hurdle relay team of Parker McKittrick, Jerome Begin, Colin Paarmann, and Matt Tetzlaff took fifth in prelims with 58.74 seconds. The second-fastest team in NDSU history, the men missed moving on to the four-team final by 11 hundredths of a second. Placing fourth in the 1500m was Travis Fitzke with a time of 3:47.64. Women’s Track and Field Taking fourth in the 1600m sprint medley relay with 3:52.21 was the team of Brittany Page, Antoinette Goodman, Ashley Tingelstad and Paige Stratioti. The time also places them first in NDSU history. Maddie McClellan took sixth in the 3,000m steeplechase with a time of 10:27.08. This ranks her 40th in the nation this season. It should also qualify her to compete at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds in late May.

Baseball A few unearned runs in last Wednesday’s game turned out to be an unfortunate downfall for the Bison baseball team, as they lost 5-3 to Minnesota at Siebert Field in Minneapolis. In the second inning, second baseman Wes Satzinger hit his first home run since a wrist injury in March to put the Bison up early. Minnesota later came back in the fifth inning with two unearned runs. With two outs in the seventh, Minnesota scored a two-run home run and an RBI double to go ahead 5-1. NDSU tried to make a comeback in the eighth with two outs in the inning when Kyle Kleinendorst hit a triple to center, scoring Jon Hechtner from second and Kirk Kenneally from first. Zach Mayo got his first collegiate start for NDSU. Jay Flaa pitched the second and third innings and kept Minnesota scoreless. Taking the loss for the Bison was Brian VanderWoude.

led off with her sixth homer of the season. But LopezPortillo had the final say as she watched her home run decide the final score. Kori Seidlitz took the loss for the Jackrabbits, giving up five hits, striking out four and walking one. NDSU’s Brandi Enriquez
The Wild Diary “The Sports Czar”
JOE KERLIN Staff Writer
Excerpts from the Sports Czar’s personal diary… 6:30- On the warmest day of the year in Fargo, all I have been thinking about is hockey. It comes down to this! The Wild win and they are in the playoffs, simple as that.

6:43- First stoppage and Antony LaPanta is telling me the Wild have “the first five shots of the game.” This is typical for the Wild, the problem is the can never bury the dang puck. (Sidenote: LaPanta has done well in his first season calling the play-by-play for the Wild) 6:45- Zach Parise from Mikko Koivu and Charlie Coyle GOAL!!!! Great back check by Parise, puck comes out to Koivu, he throws it at the net, Parise deflects it in and that is exactly how you draw the play up. And that’s why we signed this Parise guy for gajillion dollars. 6:54- Colorado finally gets a shot on goal and Niklas Backstrom smothers the puck. Sometimes I feel the lack of action on the defense of end causes this guy to gets
bored. This sound a little ridiculous but think about it, Backstrom has played in 42 out of the 48 games and with a lack of backup goalie, focus is eventually lost as fatigue sets in. 7:08- Brain O’Reilly ties the game on a dreadful turnover by the Wild. Stoner and Gilbert are the weakest link for this team and that played just showed why. Get off your knees boys and play defense. 7:11- End of the first period, 1-1. First and second lines looked great and the third looked lost per usual. 7:31- @DanyAllStar15 tweets: “Yeah, ever since I left the locker room, this team has freaking crapped the bed. We look like Logan Couture’s face out there and everyone knows it.” I

have gotten away with a lot this year, but The Spectrum wouldn’t let me quote the actual tweet. Let’s just say “not Dany Heatley” tweets like a sailor. But faux-Heater is right, ever since he hurt his shoulder, the Wild have struggled. 7:39- Colorado’s goal is waved-off and everyone in Minnesota can breathe a sigh of relief. This game has already aged me six years. I should probably stop investing so much emotionally into sports… 7:49- “Hey you bleeping bleep. You’re such a little bleep. Go bleep yourself.” – Shane O’Brian. Man, do I love the microphones near the rink. It gives me the feeling that I’m actually on the ice, you know? 7:53GOOOOOAL! Setoguchi buries on a slap shot from the top of the circle. An absolute howitzer, I’m sure somewhere Heatley is smiling. 8:06- Wild up 2-1 at the end of the second. My confidence is sky high right now. Maybe I’ll tweet at one of those Fox Sports North girls asking for a number, maybe add her on Snapchat? Gotta’ take things slow, though. I don’t want to rush into a relationship, you now? 8:24- Third period. 20 more minutes! 8:32- Tom Gilbert and Cody McLeod are tangled up and it looks like Gilbert said something about McLeod’s girlfriend and cheerios. Meanwhile, Koivu gives a lucky fan a souvenir and the Wild well go on the penalty kill. 8:36- Colorado is taking shots harder than my boys at the bar. The Wild survive the penalty kill with eleven minutes to go in the game. 8:44- The Wild keep missing their opportunities, including a five on three. I’m running out of finger nails, might have to move to the feet, you guys. 8:56- “GLOVE SAVE BACKSTROM!” Probably the best thing you can hear with 1:39 left in the third. 9:01Pierre-Marc Bouchard slams home an empty netter! It’s over! 3-1! It came down to the last day, but screw-it, we made the playoff! Bring on the Blackhawks!
