James Darville, Elizabeth Rowinski, Chloe Smith and Michael Casey meet for the first time after the other three students helped Rowinkski when she broke her leg on the ice on campus.
NDSU Nice: Students to the Rescue Josie Eyers
Head News Editor
The cold on the icy campus sidewalks melts when compared to the warmth inside the hearts of three students at NDSU. Elizabeth Rowinski, a sophomore majoring in natural resources management, encountered three strangers who showed her compassion in a time of need, a trait she says is characteristic of students on the NDSU campus. On March 7, Rowinski was walking across Albrecht Boulevard when she slipped on the ice. Her right foot slipped from underneath her leg, putting pressure on her knee and ankle. She heard some ominous “snapping” sounds and was pretty cer-
tain she broke her leg. “The moment I went into shock, I really didn’t know what to do,” she said. Then a group of students knelt beside her and asked if they could help her in any way. Michael Casey, a freshman majoring in English, and Chloe Smith, a freshman with an undecided major, were walking back from a theater class that had been cancelled when they saw Rowinski fall on the ice. Rowinski began to yell, and at first, the students thought she was merely surprised by the fall. They asked her if they could help, and Rowinski asked them to call an ambulance. Rowinski said she would have laid on the ice for a long time before she would have been able to call 911, but Smith took the initiative
to help out and called 911 for her. Casey picked Rowinski’s books and belongings off of the ground and held them to make sure nothing was lost or left behind. James Darville, a fresh-
man majoring in journalism, was walking across the street when he heard Rowinski’s yells of pain, so he too came
to see how he could help. “I didn’t see her fall, I just heard her scream,” Darville said. “She said, ‘Oh my gosh, I think my leg broke,’ and that’s when I crossed the street to make sure she was okay.” Rowinski, incapable of moving, knew she would need her identification and wallet with her at the hospital. She asked if someone could go to her car and get her wallet, and Darville volunteered. He ran to the pay lot, found her car, brought her wallet and gave her information to the police officer who had stopped by to oversee the situation. “Liz [Rowinski] handed me her keys and said,

The Hospitality Student Association and the Fashion Apparel and Business Organization are presenting the Ninth Annual Food and Wine Show along with the Tartan Trunk Show. The show will highlight an array of wines and fine foods and allow attendees to bid on silent auction items to fund scholarships and activities for the associations. “There will be reds, whites and blush wines for everyone to sample and pair with their food,” said Joshua Williams, HSA president. “Happy Harry’s specializes in wine pairings and we have adjusted the menus to fit the types of wines to be presented.” The Food and Wine Show started in 2005 to give students a chance to relax, Williams said. “Students who choose to go will experience a semiformal event that is organized, presented and displayed entirely by students of the Hospitality & Tourism Management Program,” Williams said. “They will be immersed in a culture that they may know little about, eat great food and learn a little more about our program here at NDSU.” The HSA is an NDSU student organization geared towards students majoring in or interested in the field

of hospitality. The organization’s goal is to provide opportunities for professional growth and to stimulate discussions with the hospitality industry among students, faculty, staff and hospitality professionals. The donations will go towards helping students learn by providing more trips and tours within the industry. “In years past, the money we have earned has helped us fund trips like touring the Summit Brewery in St. Paul, various hotels in Minneapolis and traveling to Winnipeg,” Williams said. Last year the show received 169 guests, had five different vendors and raised $3,000 in the silent auction.

Safety
Nowadays, this world may seem stricter than ever, but it’s important to realize all the rules and laws are for our own safety. We all have this tendency to be rebellious, which is completely natural, but try to stand back a little bit and give thanks to those that protect us. If you’re speeding on the freeway and you get pulled over, respond to yourself this way: “This sucks, but this officer is just trying to keep me and the others on the freeway safe.” In addition, those firemen that come out when there’s danger put their lives on the line to save YOU. In fact, these people that sacrifice themselves don’t even know you. So what makes us so special? Well, we are all important human beings and it’s great to know there are people that try to keep us safe. Say thanks to all the people that care, and appreciate what you have.
The Office of International Programs has expanded its annual International Week of past years to the first ever GLobal Awareness Month in April., celebrating internationality at NDSU. Lisa Hauck, director of International Programs, said that the “timing was right” to shift gears and expand International Week to a whole month. The Office of International Programs choose the name “Global Awareness Month” because NDSU is quickly becoming a more global university. Hauck said that “global” as in important and relevant word in today’s world. “It feels to me that NDSU truly is a really global place,” Hauck said. In the past, 10 to 20 events would be crammed
into International Week. Hauck said spreading the events out over a month will make it easier for people to attend. The Parade of Nations and International Night will remain feature events of the global celebration, and both will occur towards the beginning of April. Events will also include four different culture fairs, one for each week of the month. Students and student organizations planned the fairs, and each fair will represent one of four regions of the world. Students from those countries and students who studied abroad in these regions will be at the fairs, offering learning opportunities for visitors. Hauck said that a multitude of things will occur at each fair, including music and artifacts from different cultures. Another new feature of Global Awareness Month

Hauck said that many students who study abroad are females or have a major in the college of arts, humanities and social sciences. This symposium will help faculty create more diversity with study abroad in regards to ethnicity, gender, major and other factors.

Rowinski noticed afterward that a large amount of money was in her purse, and none of it was touched. “This just shows you there is still good left in humanity,” she said. “This was outstanding of these students to do this. They didn’t know me yet they had the kindness to really take care of me when I was in a huge time of need.” These three students waited at least 10 minutes with Rowinski until the ambulance came. A fourth female student also waited with Rowinski until the police officer arrived, but none of the other students heard her name. Because Rowinski was sitting on a sheet of ice, the paramedics needed help getting her safely into the ambulance. Casey and Smith helped stabilize the gurney, and Darville helped lift her into the ambulance. “It was dangerous for them to even try to lift me up, and yet they did,” Rowinski said.” Rowinski broke her fibula nearly all the way across the bone, a bimalleolar ankle fracture. She had surgery to put a plate on the
bone with eight screws to hold it in place. She will be recovering for six to eight weeks, plus additional time for physical therapy. None of these students had ever seen Rowinski before, yet none of them thought of walking by and letting someone else help her instead. “When you see somebody who needs help, your first reaction should be to go and help them,” Darville said. “It was just something inside me that said ‘go help.’” Smith said there were 10 to 12 other students who walked by and asked if they could help. “I feel like it is our responsibility to be there for other people, not just something we can do, but something we should do,” she said. Rowinski said this experience shows how “students on our campus are willing to help out each other.” Casey said he feels NDSU students would be willing to help anybody in a similar situation of need. “These students are some of the greatest people that I’ve ever ran into,” Rowinski said. “I thanked them then, but I felt like I needed to thank them even more because they really went

above and beyond just helping someone who had fallen on the ice.” Rowinski posted her story on the Overheard at NDSU Facebook page, asking anyone who helped her that day to send her a message so she could thank them further and put names to the faces of those who comforted her. Smith and Casey responded to her post. The students said this experience was an example of good karma. “You should never do things expecting things to come back to you, but it will,” Darville said. He did not expect anything to happen after he helped Rowinski, but later that day he learned that his dog had run away and someone had brought the dog back. “I thought that was good karma that I had done something and somebody did something to help me back,” he said. Rowinski also connected this experience to good karma. “I’ve always been the person to pull over on the side of the road to help someone out, and I never thought it would be me,” she said. “Paying it forward, it really does work in the end.”

HEALTH TALK
Some Vacations Require Maintaining Adaptability and Work Egg-ceptional Health Mike Liudahl
Contributing Writer
Prior to my departure for the southern seas, I, with the help of friends and family, convinced myself that the Fiji trip would be more of an easy-going vacation than anything else. Chances are it is for most study abroad students who have made their way here, and their attitude probably has a lot to do with that. I may have escaped a harsh Fargo winter for the tropics, but that’s only one half of the equation, as the academic end isn’t necessarily unfolding as expected. I wanted a unique challenge with heavy doses of foreign flair, and that’s exactly what I got. The journalism units at the University of the South Pacific have some similarities to those at NDSU; however, I’m finding new differences on a daily basis. This is where the positive attitude part must play a role because if you can’t maintain one, unexpected academic frustrations will eat you alive during the remaining months abroad. The big elephant that normally lurks around the USP newsroom is the fact that freedom of the press in Fiji is noticeably limited when compared to the United States. Therefore, that alone makes an impact on how future journalists are trained at the nation’s most prominent higher education institution, and I oddly feel way more affected by this than anybody else. You’re taught to be very careful, and I’ve actually been steered away from the opportunity to cover what is considered as politically sensitive. Although alarming at first, I now completely understand decisions made by faculty to say what I can or cannot cover. Having always been part of a free press society, I’m plenty clueless as to what would draw the attention of the acting Prime Minister’s regime. Despite being a small campus paper that mainly exists for training purposes, the government could force it to shut down for speaking out. As a centerpiece of the program, they can’t afford that to happen. Since censorship-related threats exist, the encouragement of any governmental confrontation by both USP print and radio journalists is nearly nonexistent. This sort of departmental approach is definitely awkward for me, but the overall training provided by it’s faculty is quite good. A real world type experience is provided for students who will be seeking employment within Fiji’s borders and maybe even beyond in some cases. Political pressures can find a way to dampen any vacation if you let them, so
1. Who is your style icon? “Rihanna and Keri Hilson. They have a very feminine style but also [have] a tough edge at the same time.” 2. How do you decide what to wear in the morning? “I think it depends on [what] I want my outfit to portray. I usually mix and
I’m progressively moving past that annoyance. Pushing it all aside, there are some other concepts I would never have imagined possible before arriving at USP. The thought of whether an issue is newsworthy in Fiji is the one I struggle with most. I often have to ask what people care about here and if they would read a story about it. I’m guessing it would be the same for my current classmates if they were writers for The Spectrum at NDSU. On a more general note, the reporter workload is pretty steep. We’re expected to write at least three stories per week with a goal of getting it published in the Wansolwara. That’s the name of the USP newspaper, which stands for “One ocean, one people” in Fijian. With multiple deadlines lingering around you have to constantly be reminding yourself of what’s due and when. The entire system of story assignment, editor’s requirements and submission is another source of confusion because its parts are constantly changing. Thus, maintaining flexibility is crucial to surviving what each week throws at you. Compiling a story itself is often a tough task, and after finally coming up with something newsworthy it’s usually just as hard to get an interview. Once you land one, the next problem is the possibility of a language barrier. Everybody speaks at least a fair amount of English here, but some thick accents are very hard to understand. Even recording the audio doesn’t help much because it takes many playbacks to figure out what was said and it’s sometimes impossible to do. That’s just a portion of what my weeks are consistently like and I will spare you what of what the non-newspaper article assignments entail. It can all seem daunting, but I really wouldn’t have it any other way since the overall experience so much more than any tourist could ever get. If you want a more complete cultural immersion adventure anywhere in the world, then give study abroad a shot. The character building that can take place off of U.S. has the potential to solidify any college degree. My time here so far cannot be considered a vacation in the traditional sense, and more than likely that’s how it will end up. However, there will be days and even weeks of pure tropical ecstasy wedged in between the gritty moments of being a journalism student in a foreign land. Odds are, after my return home I won’t need to convince myself that it really was an all-inclusive get away from one extreme to the other.

“When shell eggs are hard cooked, the protective coating is washed away, leaving bare the pores in the shell for bacteria to enter and contaminate it.” – USDA iday. The most popular food tradition, however, offers a friendly host of vitamins and minerals that these other sweet treats simply cannot supply. Without detracting from the spring color theme or reducing your overall health, vibrantly dyed Easter eggs can add flavor, flair and healthfulness to your holiday feast. The following are helpful tips and facts about eggs—from the USDA, LiveStrong, and Reader’s Digest websites—to keep in mind for Easter: #1: It is not harmful to your health to eat an egg if, after shelling it, you see that the color you dyed it has leaked onto the egg white. #2: The United States Department of Agriculture warns consumers that hardcooked eggs tend to spoil more quickly than fresh eggs, thus making it important for all Easter egg dyers to eat or dispose of their eggs within seven days of cooking them. Their website states that “when shell eggs are hard cooked, the protective coat-
ing is washed away, leaving bare the pores in the shell for bacteria to enter and contaminate it.” #3: Refrigerate your dyed eggs within two hours. According to Ethel Tiersky’s recount of USDA guidelines on shelflifeadvice.com, temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit are “the danger zone for bacterial growth. After two hours [at room temperature], the bacterial count may be high enough to cause illness.” #4: Eggs—whether dyed, fried, beaten or boiled—provide your body with healthfortifying nutrients. The protein found in one ounce of red meat is equivalent to that found in one egg, according to the USDA. One egg can also provide your body with essential B Vitamins that help boost your metabolism and support your nervous system. In addition, egg yolks contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin “promote eye health and those with increased blood levels experience lower rates of developing age-related macular degeneration.” #5: As a substitute for splattering your eggs with chemical dyes or dousing them in artificial coloring this Easter, try natural ingredients to get the pigments you desire. Reader’s Digest suggests including the following food components mixed in a cup of vinegar: dark coffee for brown, purple grape juice for blue-gray, red cabbage for robin’s egg blue, blueberries for lavender, red wine for deep purple, yellow onion skins for sienna, turmeric for yellow-green, spinach or grass for green, beet juice for deep pink, cranberry juice for light pink and paprika for brick red.

“Is it important to have the same life goals as your significant other? Meghan Battest

He Said: “Yes, it’s important, but not absolutely necessary. Significant others should mean enough to each other that they can possibly change their minds if it is extremely important to the other partner,” Alex Volk, a sophomore majoring in Computer Engineering, said. She Said: “I think that it is important to have the same general beliefs, but some things can be compromised,” Sienna Christianson, a freshman with an undecided major, said. Every day we set goals. Pass the next Calc exam with a C instead of a D. Survive until Easter break without going crazy. Make the trek to the Wellness Center to fulfill a New Year’s Resolution. Usually these goals are short-term and merely keep us motivated to do everyday tasks. Sometimes, though, long-term goals (e.g. to be rich and famous) can put a damper on, or even bring a screeching halt to, a relationship. Obviously things like deciding to get fit or pass exams will not affect your relationship. But when it comes to topics covering future life goals, be sure that you and your partner are on the same page, or at least in the same chapter. This way, you will know in advance if he is considering becoming a priest (or she a nun) and can decide if a further relationship is a good idea. Another goal, besides intent to be forever celibate, is desire to get married. Basically, ladies, this is for
you. If he is not interested in one day settling down with someone (even if that someone is not you) he is not kidding, and you cannot change his mind. Let it be, and if you cannot deal with it, move on. Along that same line is the subject of children. He loves little kids and hopes to someday have a large family. She refuses to have more than two, if any, and generally dislikes small children. While it is your call as to whether or not you want to stay with the other person, understand that in this aspect of life; most people are set in their decision. Finally, ask about career goals. While this is the least important of all the life goals mentioned (as far as affecting relationships), it can still have an impact on the future of your relationship. Maybe you both hope to “bring home the bacon”; that will affect having kids. Maybe he wants to focus on a career first, which could set back getting married. Differences in career goals are usually easier to work through than other topics, but should be brought up nonetheless. It may seem like these goals are too heavy to talk about in new relationships, but if they are not addressed early, one or both people have invested a lot more time and will most likely be deeply hurt. It is not inappropriate to ask about future goals like having a family or being the “breadwinner,” provided you do not expect the other person to be picturing that future with you. Get it out in the open ASAP. Talking about these slightly-awkward topics with save you a future heartbreak or help you grow closer as a couple.

Northern Hyde’s ‘Beauty Experiment’ Finds Eclecta Taking Inner Beauty Without Femininity Your Submissions Jack Dura
Steven Strom A&E Editor
The Spectrum
University, middle and high school students, as well as alumni from in and around the Fargo-Moorhead area, are being asked to submit their creative literary work for this year’s Northern Eclecta. Northern Eclecta is a regular literary journal composed of the works produced by NDSU graduates, undergraduates and alumni as well as grade 7-12 students from the surrounding area. The journal accepts submissions of fiction, creative nonfiction, “quick takes” and poetry. It also accepts nonliterary works such as photography and art, for those more inclined to the visual arts. Originally, the deadline for submissions was March 19. However, that has since been pushed back to next Tuesday, April 2, meaning there’s still time to submit your work and allow it to be shown to a much greater audience. Northern Eclecta isn’t only comprised of NDSU efforts and material on the submissions side. It’s also run and produced annually by NDSU students. As the journal’s website puts it, everything “from publicizing the call for submissions to reviewing the submissions to doing the document design and desktop publishing” is handled by students of the English 213, 313 and 413 Literary Publications classes. Each
year, these students work hard to give young and unknown creators a forum to publish their work for all to see. Those students review all submissions blindly. That is to say, everything submitted for Northern Eclecta is gathered and distributed amongst the reviewers by the submissions editor. Those reviewing the work do not know the names of those whose work they consider for the publication, meaning there is no favoritism involved. Even those on staff may submit their work. However, they are subject to the same blind review process as everyone else, without exception. For many of those submitting, Northern Eclecta will be their first time ever being published. That means it’s a big responsibility on the part of those students, who manage to pull it all off year after year. If it sounds like you want to put up your work for publication in Northern Eclecta, now is the time. The journal is only produced once a year, so if you miss out now you’ll be stuck waiting until next spring for another chance. According to the journal’s website, the staff expects to have its choices finalized by April 15 for college-level applicants and April 22 for middle and high school students. Any writers and artists who are accepted (or not accepted) will be notified as soon as the review process is complete. Just remember that all submissions must be turned in by 11:59 p.m. next Tuesday. Good luck!

Going an entire year without makeup, jewelry or new clothes would likely be a challenge for most women. Try doing that while raising an infant and living in a foreign country, and things may seem even harder. What some may see as nearly impossible was done by writer Phoebe Baker Hyde, who underwent the abovementioned experiment while living in Hong Kong in 2007. Hyde, who penned “The Beauty Experiment” while undergoing it, found herself fed up with the constant battle of beauty. Between looking good and feeling good, she did not know what to do. After years of back-andforth with beauty, it all came to a head after a dress for an office party received the opposite reaction she had been hoping for. Hyde swore then and there to ditch beauty, to cast off what society considers beautiful and live for a year without any makeup, jewelry or new clothes. She began a quest to discover her inner beauty, something that had been hidden beneath the surface for a long time, covered by her failed attempts at looking “good.” She started this soulsearch in Hong Kong, where she, her husband John, and
daughter Hattie were living as expatriates while John was working. Ditching all things glamorous in February 2007, Hyde created rules for herself in her yearlong quest, rules that covered everything from when and how much hair to shave off her legs and armpits and how to start her morning routine. Being in Hong Kong, the melting pot of melting pots and one of the world’s capitols of all things glitz and glam, Hyde trained herself to resist the urge to shop for things she knew she wanted but did not need. When she did shop, it was for things that proved to be practical, such as a swimsuit. She taught herself to shop around in stores and online for what she wanted, to stay away from big price tags, and focus on the essential. While being a Plain Jane for a year did do more good than bad for Hyde, there were moments when she wondered why she began her experiment, and wondered if it was just born out of a moment of passion. But, as she states in her conclusions, living with concealer and cover-up really does conceal and cover up what lies underneath, and is not limited to one’s face. Hyde discovered many things on her break from beauty; money can be saved in many areas, most people care very little over oth-
ers’ appearances, and that clothes’ transition from runway to sales rack goes largely unnoticed by society. This excerpt from “The Beauty Experiment” relates one of the most useful things Hyde learned from her sabbatical from beauty: “I, however, was (or should be) a new woman after eleven months of my experiment. I had learned (or should have
The Spectrum | for the students
learned) many things. One of the most useful was that the definition of beauty depended on not only who was looking but also on what they were looking for.” While most women would rarely do as Hyde did, her experiment and the results it yielded would probably hold true for all. True beauty, as the cliché says, lies on the inside.

Shining Performance, Dark Jimmy Fallon to Potentially Take Over Tonight Show Story in Olfert’s ‘Medea’ actually. The decision has been made to exile her, but her request to stay one more day in the kingdom is granted by Creon. Yes, give the crazy ex-wife an extra day to settle her affairs. Ever stop to think just what those affairs might be? In short, they entail killing everyone connected to Jason. His new wife, the king, even her own children; Medea kills them all in one way or another. This being a Greek play, all the violence happened offstage, and the most gruesome scene onstage was Medea sliding a knife along Jason’s cheek, a knife coated in their children’s blood. How nice. That alone was enough to chill anyone’s spine. And inform everyone in attendance of how crazy this character is. The emotions Olfert exuded through her portrayal of Medea were passionately raw. Her fits of anguish and anger stripped her to the core of her humanity, and Olfert’s portrayal of this crazy lady was laudable. Her fellow cast members gave commendable perfor-
mances in this one-night show as well. Freshman Taylor Fay and junior Kelli Flieth portrayed the poetic Angel and Devil who offered their views on revenge to Medea. Fay’s wispy Angel and Flieth’s unmoving Devil sat on the sideline somewhat hauntingly and helplessly watched Medea slaughter her children after they returned from delivering trinkets of death to their father’s new bride. Another grade-A performance was that of Fondell’s character, Jason. Interestingly enough, the actor’s strongest moment was his character’s weakest: learning their mother had killed his children. Fondell’s exhibition of overmastering grief was an admirable one and probably his performance peak. “Medea” as a whole was a shining performance even though the story was a dark one indeed. Olfert’s portrayal of the wicked ex-wife was a grand one and her choice of this tragic tale was a cleverly unexpected one. Excellent job!
The NPD Group, and organization that tracks consumer patterns and sales numbers, has released its figures regarding the sale of video game hardware, software and accessories for last month. The numbers hold fairly limited surprises, but those it has certainly are surprising. It’s important to note that this list only includes sales of new, physical media. Downloads (which makes up an increasingly large portion of the industry) and used sales are not factored. While the group doesn’t allow the actual, hard sales numbers to go public, we can list the titles in order of sales. Starting with the highest selling at number one and working

First and foremost, Dead Space 3 taking the number one slot is something of a pale horse victory. The survival horror genre has always been something of a niche market (though, to be

fair, Dead Space 3 breaks away from that mold in some regards).
This is also after a rumor (now proven to be totally false) began to circulate saying that the game’s sales were too low to warrant a possible Dead Space 4. It seems there’s some life in the franchise after all, though, if this chart is to be believed. The next shocker comes in at number six. The Aliens license must still carry a lot of weight to bring Colonial Marines up that high. This is the same Aliens: Colonial Marines that currently carries a 44/100 on review aggregate Metacritic and sparked a medium-sized controversy in the games industry due to the final product showing a massive dip in quality compared to what was shown in demos and preview events. It seems it’s true what they say -- there’s no such thing as bad publicity. The final and perhaps most interesting oddity on

Give a gold star and a pat on the back to senior Stephanie Olfert. As part of her senior capstone project, she brought a classic piece of Greek theatre to life on the stage at Askanase Auditorium on March 22. Euripides’ “Medea,” a tale of love, hate and every powerful emotion in between, was an interesting piece of theatre for Olfert to bring to the stage, and one that left an intriguing impression. At its heart, “Medea” is a story all about the former wife of Jason the Argonaut (sophomore Jonathan Fondell), a Greek adventurer who picked up Medea (Olfert) somewhere on his travels. They marry, have children, and all seems well until Jason ups and leaves her for the daughter of Creon, the king (junior Nicholas LeDoux). Naturally, Medea is a little upset. Well, maybe more than a little. She flies into a rage,
Here we go again. If rumors are to be believed, it looks like we are in for another Late Night shake up. Time will tell if it will finally stick, or if Leno will get a third strike. There has been a lot of talk that Jimmy Fallon host of the Late Night show will officially take over for Jay Leno as host of the Tonight Show within the next year. The change would follow ABC moving Jimmy Kimmel to 10:30. The switch would leave David Letterman over on CBS as the last remaining longtime late night host. Then again, Leno was replaced once before, so if a switch is announced, history shows it won’t necessarily be permanent. In 2009 Conan O’Brien replaced Leno as Tonight Show host. During this time Leno moved on to his own primetime talk show. However, the switch didn’t last long. Due to struggling ratings, seven months later on January 22, O’Brien aired his final episode, conceding
the job back to Leno in the process. Although nothing is official yet, the switch hasn’t exactly been going smoothly. Leno has had some choice things to say about NBC and the whole situation during the opening monologue of his show the past few weeks. Some recent “jokes” include, “Doctors in Canada were shocked after pulling a three-inch knife blade from the back of a 32-year old man. The knife had been in there for three years! Imagine that, the guy had a knife in his back for three years. He must’ve worked at NBC too. I was stunned by that.” Although Leno still produces relatively solid ratings compared to his competitors, the switch can be attributed to NBC wanting to go with the younger Fallon. Since taking over Late Night from O’Brien in 2009, Fallon has gained quite the following, especially with a younger demographic than Leno due in part to his viral presence. The push to move away from Leno and get younger can also be attributed to ABC’s decision to put their late night show with Jimmy Kimmel up against Letter-
man and Leno. With late night starting to skewer young with the success of Kimmel and Fallon it makes sense for NBC to try and stay ahead of the game. The move may make sense, but it also carries some risk for NBC. On the struggling network, Leno’s Tonight Show is actually a bright spot. The Tonight Show is currently the top rated late night show. It may seem odd to drop a top rated host, but when one factors in cost, things look clearer. Fallon will not cost as much as Leno, and the network would have to make the move eventually. Not only has Fallon proven to be worthy of the job, if a struggling network can save some money and get younger at the same time without taking a complete nosedive in the ratings, they have to consider it. If NBC does hand the Tonight Show over to Fallon, it should set off a late night shift. One can only imagine how much longer Letterman lasts over on CBS before they make a switch. Whatever happens, one only hopes Fallon sticks, and there won’t be a round three.
the list comes in just before the end. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time managed to make it to the number nine slot in physical sales alone. Not only is it the only first-party exclusive on the list (exclusives, especially low profile ones, rarely make these numbers), but it did so in spite of absolutely no marketing whatsoever. The game, which is a continuation of franchise that hasn’t had a new entry in nearly a decade, was, as many journalists put it, “sent out to die.” Most didn’t even realize the game’s release was approaching on the day it came out. And, on top of all this, the game was also the best-selling digital title on Sony’s Playstation Network in the month of Febru-
ary, meaning this list doesn’t even tell the whole story. Perhaps there was a greater demand for highquality platformers than most people thought, especially when this specific platformer retailed at a $40 price point ($20 less than the average) and included both a PS3 copy and a digital copy for Vita. Even as overall physical
game sales begin to dwindle with the rise of downloads and the end of this console generation approaches, it seems that consumers still have a few surprises left in them. We’ll see if they can keep on shocking us while we wait for the Playstation 4 and next Xbox, which are likely to launch later this year.

Heavy Can Be Healthy
The Correlation Between Fashion and our Bodies Amber Zolondek Contributing Writer
Almost two weeks ago, female mannequins released in a Swedish clothing store were awarded with great praise on the fresh take of women’s bodies in the clothing world. Although it has not been revealed exactly which store it was that decided to make such a statement, consumers everywhere are pleased with the idea, regardless of the mystery. These now-famous mannequins are healthy, fuller depictions of women’s bodies found all over the world. The figures sport lingerie, but with realistic measurements, average breasts and soft tummies and legs. While some may scoff and brush off the movement as “catering to obesity,” others see as a sign of salvage, and that average women are being seen as real beings again. But, I think the bigger part of the mystery, no pun intended, is why are we finally just beginning to release this kind of approach? Perhaps it was the increase
in numbers of eating disorders and statistics. Or maybe the trend of “thin is in” has finally reached the end of its life. Women can
“While we often seek to point fingers and find someone to blame. We also hold the potential to resist this type of thinking.” be relieved of these heavy expectations to be a size two or have a 29-inch waist and begin to actually focus their energy on loving their bodies once again. Men are no more exempt from this topic than women are. We see chiseled and ripped male bodies placed between the stores’ windows and seasonal backdrop, only to leave men with clothes that don’t fit them and a belittled self-esteem. We can no longer expect these kinds of figures and believe them to be realistic. The worst part of all of this is that the fashion and retail field has had the power to change this all along, but
have never had the gumption to go quite that far on the trendsetting spectrum. We’ve heard of Karl Lagerfeld’s nonsense and how his models are not “too thin” when we clearly see bones jutting out from under the fabric, and let’s not forget the one of many Gucci Photoshop blunders in December that disgusted consumers. But why do they still carry such a power to influence us when we obviously realize their expectations are unrealistic and impossible to attain? While we often seek to point fingers and find someone to blame. We also hold the potential to resist this type of thinking. We forget that all the while we are being convinced to buy this or that, or looking a certain way. We are capable of changing the game as well as its rules. We are raising a younger generation to believe that only thin is healthy, when all we need to do is preach the idea of health comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

The Spectrum THE VOICE OF THE HERD SINCE 1896
LETTERTO THE EDITOR To the Editor: In the Valentine’s Day issue of The Spectrum, there was an article concerning a group of students in a renewable energy class making a presentation to Student Government to promote the “feasibility” of renewable energy sources on our campus I am writing to explain why the options they presented are not really viable at NDSU. The students’ presentation outlined plans for solar panels on the roof of the Memorial Union and wind turbines also located around the Union Wellness Center, or near the Equine Center. While the solar panels would be placed well on the roof of the Union, wind turbines would be more effective away from campus. The turbines make noise [that] would be annoying in the center of the university and the wind will be more consistent and stronger on the periphery of campus. A strong argument was put forward for utilizing renewable energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. And I agree with using energy sources that are already available to us. They also contended that there would be a consensus of support from the student body; I also agree with this statement. My concerns are based in the funding of the project. The students presenting the proposal stated that about half of the initial funding would come from student fees. My question is, where does the other half come from? We can all agree that NDSU is underfunded and one of a college student’s highest concerns is cost. We know that our tuition and student fees are increasing every year as well. It is widely known that initial costs of renewable energy are very high. Turbines and solar panels are very expensive to buy and maintain. The suggested plan only produces a portion of the energy used by the Union alone. The students said that the project would recover its costs in 10 years and produce profit for 15 years in a 25-year project life. Let’s be honest, expecting any of that profit to replace the money taken from student fees is foolish. This money could be better spent on solving the on-campus parking issue or to add a residence hall or academic building, etc. To recap, I believe that NDSU is not necessarily the best place to introduce renewable energy projects due to using students’ money. If [this project] were sponsored by an outside source for research purposes, that would be a different story. While exploring and using renewable energy sources is very important, I believe that most students would agree that it should not be done at our expense.

To the Editor: I read Jeff Bauer’s article “Celebrating African-American Month,” and I found some of the comments that he made reasonable, but it doesn’t work for our society at this moment. The whole purpose of having “African-American Month” is to celebrate the struggles that many African Americans faced during hard times. I don’t think our society understands that yet, and until they do, we should continue to celebrate “African-American Month.” There are a lot of racial problems still affecting our society today. There is a huge gap between African Americans and white Americans today. There are a lot of people who don’t know the importance of African Americans and the roles they played throughout our history and one reason is because of our education system. Based off [Jeff’s] opinion, there has been a big change in the education system for us to get rid of “African-American Month.” According to African Studies Quarterly, many schools are limiting the knowledge about African American cultures drastically. The primary focus has been on European cultures. This has been like this for decades with little to no progress made. African American is not the only culture that has a month to celebrate their heritage. Greek-American, Irish-American, Asian Pacific American and Hispanic American also have a month where they celebrate their heritage. African-American Month is more known than other heritages because of the long feud that has happened between African Americans and white Americans. The whole purpose of having African-American Month is to inform people about the struggle that many endured and the triumphs that they had to overcome. It’s to inform people that African Americans are not just a stereotype but they are more than that. If we get rod if “African-American Month,” should we get rid of other cultures who celebrate their heritage in a month?

Joshua Haider brings up many good points in his article, “Farewell, Pope Benedict XVI: What Happens Now and What it Means for the Future.” There has been much contemplation in the catholic community about Pope Benedict XVI retiring. Much of what has been said has not been good. Christians aren’t realizing that this may be a good thing. It is time for a new trend to start arising. When people reach a certain age it is hard for them to continue on with a demanding job. Being the Pope comes with a lot more responsibilities than our everyday jobs. It takes quite a bit of work, thought, and all of their time. Their lives are devoted to serving the Catholic community. When a person becomes unable to do their job to their fullest potential, it should be time to step down and allow someone else to fill your place doing the best job they can. Pope Benedict has been criticized over and over now by critics saying he was too old for the job in the first place, and that while serving, he has not done anything significant in the Catholic Church. But Joshua tells us about his major works while being both Pope and Cardinal. He was a brilliant man and though different than Pope John Paul II he still wrote and published inspirational books and influenced the entire world. We should have faith as Catholics; if Pope Benedict XVI believes it is time to retire, there must be an influence by God. It is not right to criticize the Pope and frankly it is very disrespectful, not only to him but also to God. God works through each and every one of us and especially through the Pope as a leader of the entire Church. We must trust his guidance because ultimately it is the guidance of the Holy Father.

Georgia Southern and Appalachian State Leaving FCS Does not Benefit NDSU “Herd’s Hunches”
SAM HERDER Sports Editor
The news broke out late Monday afternoon that two FCS powerhouses are leaving the league and joining its big brother. Georgia Southern and Appalachian State are heading to the Football Bowl Subdivision’s Sun Belt Conference and will be FBS eligible in the 2015 season. The two teams will be ineligible for the 2013 FCS playoffs. Bison fans should be very familiar with these two marquee programs. Georgia Southern of course came to the Fargodome in 2011 and 2012 and the Bison beat the Eagles in both meetings to advance to Frisco and win the national championship. App State won three straight national championships from 2005-2007, something the Bison are aspiring to do next season. Now, I have heard two different reactions when the news hit the Internet. The first from your typical Bisonville fan saying “both teams are just scared of watching NDSU win and now the road to Frisco got that much easier for a threepeat.” Let me say this, this is not a good thing for NDSU. If elite teams are leaving the FCS and the competition goes down, success will become less notable. The league loses what little credibility they already have
from the big boys in the FBS world. The second reaction I heard was from the more established and knowledgeable fans that realized this move affects where the Bison stand on making the next jump to the FBS. Has GSU and App State started a precedent that constant success in the FCS means it’s time to move up to FBS? I mean, true, if a program is contending for a national championship year in and year out, making the jump comes into the picture. But that doesn’t mean the move makes sense. Look right here at NDSU. Coming off back-to-back national championships and in strong contention for a threepeat, discussions of FBS are popular with the fan base. But the move doesn’t make sense for the Bison. Well, not now anyways. Success is one thing, but schools have to look at the scenario outside of that. Are they capable of funding the jump? More scholarships for the football team mean more scholarships and money towards the other athletic teams. Are the facilities that of FBS caliber? Unfortunately, the Fargodome is built so that an upper level is impossible to add on. A new stadium would be a must. What conference would the Bison even join? Is the TV market in Fargo going to bring in enough money for an FBS team? A lot of these off-the-field issues need to be taken into
consideration before the Bison even begin discussions of making the jump. The big problem here is with GSU and App State moving up, the landscape of the FCS is in serious jeopardy. If more teams follow suit, such as the Montana schools, Northern Iowa or other widely known programs in the league, NDSU may be forced to begin discussions quicker than expected. Another thing to look at is D-II schools looking to come to the FCS because conferences will slim down if teams begin to follow suit and jump ship. The Bison will be in the same predicament they were in while at the D-2 level and trying to move up to Division I during the 90s. I will say this: the NDSU football program has the recruiting power, head coach, résumé and the community support to make the jump to FBS. The Bison have already won two national championships at the FCS level in under ten years of eligibility. But the discussion of making that next jump is still premature. NDSU would love to make that decision on their terms. But with two premier teams leaving the league with possibly more to follow and lowly D-2 teams coming in, the talks may just have to speed up.
Bison News Roundup
Sam Herder Sports Editor
Women’s golf finish seventh after final round canceled Amy Anderson led the NDSU women’s golf team once again with a second place finish after the final round of the Cincinnati Invitational was canceled Sunday due to weather. Anderson shot a oneover-par 145 and was two shots behind individual champion Megan Kiley of Florida Southern. Cydney Hasselberg tied for 36th overall at 157 for the Bison after shooting a 78 in the first two rounds. Abby Knutson shot a 79 and tied for 44th with a 159. Sarah Storandt and Hailey Boner tied at 47th and 53rd after shooting a 160 and 162, respectively. NDSU finished in a three-way tie for seventh place in the 17-team tournament with a 620. Cincinnati won with a 604. Rauen named volleyball
assist coach NDSU head volleyball coach Kari Thompson announced Monday the hiring of Sarah Rauen as an assistant coach to fill one of two vacancies on the staff. Rauen was an assistant at Green Bay the last three seasons and will take over for Shari Davis, who resigned earlier this year. Rauen will emphasis her assistance on defense and passing skills along with recruiting in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Rauen has been coaching since 2007 when she started out as a student assistant at UWGB. As a player, Rauen set Green Bay’s record for career digs with 1,519 from 2003 to 2006. The other full-time assistant vacancy, opened after Jason Reed was hired as the head coach at the University of Indianapolis, has yet to be filled. Reina, Johnson receive weekly Summit League awards NDSU softball players Alyssa Reina and Whitney Johnson were named The
Summit League’s Softball and Pitcher of the week for March 18-24. Reina, a freshman catcher from Auburn, Calif. won her first career Player of the Week award. Reina went three-for-four with a triple, three RBIs, a run scored and a stolen base in a 13-0 win over No. 25/20 Nebraska. In the second game of the double-header, Reina added another hit to go four-forsix (.667) with a .714 onbase percentage and a 1.000 slugging percentage for the week. Johnson, a senior from Lake Crystal, Minn. hauls in her ninth Pitcher of the Week honor in her career and her third of the season. The pitcher threw a shutout in NDSU’s first victory over the Huskers in program history, her sixth of the season. Johnson struck out six batters and allowed four hits and one walk. The Huskers were held to a .160 batting average. Johnson has 31 career shutouts.

NDSU Marksmanship Club Makes Strides at Nationals Sam Herder Sports Editor
Two years ago it was the pistol team. Last year it was the rifle team. This year, everything came together for the NDSU Marksmanship Club team, sending both its teams to the 2013 College Club Championships in Fort Benning, Ga. NDSU finished fifth overall after posting some of their best shooting scores individually. “Nationals is a huge step for each one of these individuals,” rifle coach Mitch Godbout said. “These kids’ eyes were in awe when they saw the automatic scoring, and they had hundreds of other shooters in the building shooting at the same time.” This was the first year NDSU qualified in all three events. Alana Townsend qualified for the women’s team along with the rifle and pistol teams on the men’s side. The young team, mostly filled with freshmen, turned in place finishes that exceeded expectations. The club faced lack of funds to reach the nationals and once there, they faced the best competition in the country. “We do not give scholarships like some of the big schools do,” freshman team member Grant Johnson said. “So for us to finish in fifth when we faced all those schools, it made the trip really cool.” The team drove down to Georgia for the competition that lasted the entire Spring Break week. NDSU faced teams among the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, Yale and MIT. The Military academy, Naval Academy and the Merchant Marines were also in the championships that showcased some of the top shooters in the world. NDSU turned many heads as scores began to appear. The Free Pistol team placed fourth, the Standard Pistol team finished ninth and the Open Air pistol team placed second, just
five points behind the U.S. Military Academy. Townsend finished with a silver medal in the Open Air Pistol and a bronze medal in the Women’s Air Pistol. Mathew Pueppke received a silver medal in the Free Pistol and a bronze medal for the Open Air Pistol to lead the men’s team. Both the Air Rifle and Small Bore Rifle teams finished fifth for NDSU. Brandon Godbout led the way for the Bison, making the first All-American Team for Air Rifle and Small Bore Rifle after receiving a silver and bronze medal for each event, respectively. “The entire team stepped up to the plate and they all improved their scores,” said coach Godbout. “It’s quite an event for the kids. It’s more for the shooters and we as coaches just get to sit back and see the results.” The national competition is a very mentally draining event for the competitors. Both pistol and rifle events are repetitive and are challenging on the minds of shooters when concentration is key for success. But the club team knows how to cope with those challenges. “For how young our team is, we are really experienced and have been shooting for a long time,” Johnson, who has been shooting competitively for eight years, said. The qualification to get into the national competition for NDSU was shot at the Red River Regional Marksmanship Center in Fargo. Since the club is not as well funded as other teams, NDSU only shot once to qualify compared to the 10-15 events the bigger schools shoot at. All three events qualified foe NDSU, a heavy feat that can be attributed to the level of shooting competitions in the Fargo area. “I can see the progression in our team,” coach Godbout said. “If you keep a high level of competitiveness in your area, it makes your shooters better.”
Some members of the team were recruited at the Junior Olympics in Colorado Springs. NDSU coach Eric Pueppke is also a junior national assistant coach and he has helped bring in some members to the Marksmanship Club. “Coach Pueppke is a big part to this club,” Johnson said. “He kind of knows all the up-and-comers at the Junior Olympics and that has helped a lot.” The club is also open for anyone interested at NDSU. The team has optional practices on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Red River Regional Marksmanship Center, which opened back up because of the club. Students can choose between pistol and rifle and coaches take them and find out where their beginning skills are from there. “As a coach, we try to train up from that in a pace where we can get them up to speed with the other shooters that have been in the program for quite a while,” coach Godbout said. Godbout’s coaching emphasizes positioning, which includes standing, kneeling, sitting and prone position depending on the event. But not everything has to be technical Godbout says. “It’s also a fun organization,” Godbout said. “It’s not just competitive. If (students) want to come in here and shoot, they can.” That environment has helped the team’s success and has brought in more competitors to the club. The Marksmanship Club may not be known widely around the school, but they certainly drew some attention at the national stage. “The kids really did an outstanding job and they made NDSU proud,” coach Godbout said. And with the bar set high for this young club, their name will only become more familiar.
5 Things to Watch For in the Sweet Sixteen “The Sports Czar”
JOE KERLIN Staff Writer
Well, it looks like March Madness is living up to its name yet again this year with a captivating first weekend. Cinderellas, blowouts, Allie LaForce and coaches’ wives; what more could you ask for!? Here are five things you should be on the lookout for in the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight. 5. FGCU Is Can’t Miss Television Every news outlets in America has spent the past four days singing FGCU praises and for good reason. A combination of flash, explosiveness and confidence makes the Eagles game similar to an And-1 mixtape tour game mixed with a little NBA All-Star game. It’s entertainment at its finest and unless you’re a Yankee, Duke and Germany fan, it’s difficult not to root for the Cinderella. 4. Another Number One Seed Will Fall But Which One? Gonzaga already blew it in the round of 32, leaving three one-seeds left in the tourney. Michigan is coming off of a beat down of
VCU and when Trey Burke is on and a low post presence is felt, Big Blue is one of the best teams in the nation. Fortunately for Kansas, they have the best NBA prospect on their team in Ben McLemore. The freshman was abysmal from the floor, missing all nine of his shots and barely seeing the court in the second half versus UNC. I’m taking Big Ten Player of the Year and Wolverines to advance to the Elite Eight. 3. I’m the Superior Bracket-wiz in the Spectrum Competition Not much to say here really. The proof is in the pudding. Step aside, freshman. This is my bracket challenge to win. 2. Tyrone Garland Gives the Best Post-Game Interviews Now I have been following this Explorer team since the play-in games because of a childhood connection with their starting guard D.J. Peterson. Although I didn’t pick them to get past the second round against Kansas State, this team has been fun to watch. But the real reason I have been obsessed with LaSalle is for Garland’s post-game interviews. After the play-in game and after he hit the game winner against Ole Miss with some-
thing called the “Southwest Philly Floater”, Garland has been given the mic and put in front of a camera. There’s nothing like seeing a star in the making give a shout-out to his Mama and his cousin Berg on national television. 1. Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan and Marquette Will Make the Final Four It’s tough going against my bracket especially after having the most points after the first weekend. I’d like to think it’s never too late to switch your final four picks after Georgetown forgot to show up to the tourney for the 85th time in a row. So I’m going with another Big East team. I like Marquette to come out of the East Region for two reasons: Buzz Williams and Vander Blue. The Golden Eagles are the most battle-tested team in the region and have experience in close games, coming back from second half deficits in both of their tournament games thus far. Blue will lead his team again with an inevitable come-from-behind victory against Miami, take care of an inconsistent Indiana club and make their way to Atlanta.
