NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY | FOR THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE

Billy Ogdahl (left), Kyle Mason (center) and Alan Patterson (right) were booked Wednesday in Grand Forks for “Refusing to Halt.”

T

hree North Dakota State students appeared in the Grand Forks District Court Monday, facing charges of “Refusing to Halt” to police officers after an incident the night of Oct. 8 at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center.

The three were 2014 Homecoming candidates before being removed from the royal court by the university following the arrests.

Judge Lee Chirstofferson, a UND alumnus, charged the two who pleaded guilty to the Level B misdemeanor, Billy Ogdahl, 22, and Kyle Mason, 21, to a $250 fine and sentenced both of them to write a two-page paper on “why UND is a good school.”

A third student, Alan Patterson, pled not guilty of the same charge through his attorney.

A Homecoming candidate, who wished to remain anonymous due to future NDSU Code of Conduct proceedings, found the essay requirement laughable.

The candidate was one of about 15 NDSU students who traveled to Grand Forks Wednesday night. The candidate said visiting the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center was not planned, at least to the candidate.

When police arrived at about 11 p.m. Wednesday, court records said, students were climbing on the building and vandalizing the center’s sign.

Court records further said a sign made by the students

Judge Orders NDSU Pranksters to Write Papers on ‘Why UND is a Good School’

was found at the scene.

While police did not offer specifics on the sign, the court member said it was a Bison Pride sign, containing no antiUND messages.

When UND police arrived at the scene, the Homecoming candidates fled, court records said.

Patterson’s defense attorney told the judge the student is worried about the charge on his record, possibly deterring him from future jobs.

Patterson, a third-year pharmacy student, would be in violation of the 2013-14 Pharmacy Handbook Student Academic and Conduct Standards Policy if he pled guilty.

An example of “Professional Misconduct,” the handbook said, includes “(a)ny violation and/or conviction of any federal, state or municipal law.”

Phi Lambda Sigma, NDSU’s pharmacy society, nominated Patterson to represent the group at Homecoming.

Ogdahl was nominated by Saddle & Sirloin and Mason by the Theta Chi Fraternity.

The candidate said the university tried to maintain its image by kicking candidates off the court, but it is too little, too late.

Media throughout the tri-state region has picked up on the story, tying the arrested to NDSU’s Homecoming Court.

The candidate said the university could have kept the

three students on the court.

Although all six King candidates were in attendance at Thursday night’s coronation, the three accused were not permitted to stand for the crowning ceremony.

The three were subsequently removed from Homecoming Court activities.

NDSU’s website does not list the three on its 2014 Homecoming page.

NDSU’s Code of Student Conduct states under “Prohibited Conduct,” subhead “3.1 Violations of Law” the university “reserves the right to address any conduct occurring on or off campus that may be construed as potential or alleged violations of local, state or federal laws.”

Support for the three candidates can be found on a Facebook page which “serves to show support” for the “Homecoming heros (sic)” who “took one for the herd.”

“NDSU’s Real 2014 Homecoming Kings” page, created Tuesday, had 167 likes as of Wednesday.

The page’s disclaimer reads it is not to detract from the accomplishments of the other NDSU candidates.

The page lists sarcastic paper ideas that Ogdahl and Mason may use for their court-mandated assignment.

Christofferson offered his own piece of advice to the candidates: Do not use Wikipedia as a source for the assignment, court documents said.

KNDS Settles into New Location

Station broadcasts from downtown Camille Forlano

Contributing Writer

North Dakota State student-run radio station, KNDS on 96.3 FM, has made the move to its new location in downtown Fargo.

Their previous location at 1233 University Dr. N. was previously an old post office. The building was torn down to provide more parking spots near the Alumni Center and the Bison Turf.

The project prompted a search for a new location for the radio station.

“Moving to the HPR building seemed really alien at first; we had all spent so much time in the old station, and it really was a home for us,” Cydney Berlinger, general manager of KNDS, said.

KNDS now resides in the basement of the High Plains Reader building at 124 8th St. N. The new location is across the street from NDSU’s Barry Hall.

The move was a combined effort by the members of KNDS; the frequency is shared by student-run Thunder Radio and community radio group Radio Free Fargo.

The NDSU Media Advisory Board helped

as well.

The space is still a work in progress as the team continues to settle in, but members are excited about their new location.

“It’s starting to feel like home,” Stephen Anderson, KNDS music director, said about the new station. “It was definitely a challenge and at times hectic but well worth it in the end.”

The station was interested in a downtown location in hopes of expanding its listener base.

The station intends to work hand-in-hand with HPR to collectively support each other through advertising opportunities and airing special guests.

“We’ve always prided ourselves on not being bound by advertisers and having a place for free creativity,” Anderson said. He is hopeful about the future of KNDS. KNDS also intends to expand their presence at local venues and air in-studio performances of artists in town.

KNDS is currently hosting their KNDS 10 for 10 fundraiser for its tenth birthday.

Now until Nov. 29, the station is accepting donations on their website to help pay for new equipment as well as help alleviate running costs. When the goal is reached, KNDS will host a birthday block party thanking the community.

Innovation Pitch Event Taking Place Thursday Night After the pitch event, student teams encouraged to sign up for Innovation Challenge Pace Maier

Co-News Editor

The Innovation Pitch Event is taking place at 6 p.m. on Oct. 16 at the North Dakota State Harry D. McGovern Alumni Center.

Interim Executive Director of NDSU Research and Technology Park Chuck Hoge is helping conduct the Innovation Pitch Night.

“The big thing we are pushing for the event on Thursday night is of course for students to get interested in signing up for our Innovation Challenge, and that’s where students can compete for $20,000 and prizes,” Hoge said.

Pitch Night Everyone that comes to the Innovation Pitch Night is encouraged to have fun and try to form teams to move forward to the Innovation Challenge.

All are welcome and Hoge said he expects many students and local businesses to attend the event. The local businesses should be willing to support the students who show off their innovative ideas.

Hoge said in the past he was hearing students talk about how they didn’t have a team or a smart idea for the Innovation Challenge, but the Innovation Pitch Night is where students can come and hear some ideas from their fellow classmates.

“On Thursday night, there will be a time for students to go around and talk to other people who have ideas and get more information on how they came up with the idea that they pitched,” Hoge said.

If a team is looking for more members on Thursday night, this event would be a great time to talk to other students about joining teams.

If there is an idea that a student likes, the student is then able to approach the team and ask if they could join the team. New team members could help move the team forward with the pitched idea.

“There is food on Thursday night, anyone that gets up and pitches will get a special Innovation Challenge T-shirt and everyone that is there ... whether you are a student or non-student ... can vote on the best ideas that night,” Hoge added.

Everyone that attends will vote on favorite pitch ideas, and the winners with the best ideas will have a chance to pocket a Nexus 7, iPad mini or a Microsoft Surface.

Once the pitch night is complete, Hoge said he really would like to see students register for the Innovation Challenge before the Oct. 27 deadline.

“The actual Innovation Challenge begins in November with the first boot camp and Innovation Proposal due on November 16th.”

Innovation Challenge The NDSU Research and Technology Park committee is also hosting the 6th annual Innovation Challenge from October through March.

The Innovation Challenge competition gives the teams the chance to compete for $20,000 in prize money.

Three categories are available for student teams: products, services and goods/services based on farming, storage, transportation, feeding and processing.

The first place winners will earn $5,000, second place $1,000 and third place $500 in each of the three categories. If a team wins part of the $20,000, Hoge said he would like to see those students pitch their ideas at 1 Million Cups next spring.

The 1 Million Cups program allows entrepreneurs to introduce and present new startups and ideas to an audience that will give productive feedback to the entrepreneurs.

“Last year someone had the idea of a potential way to cure cancer and another winner took their $5,000 that they won from the Innovation Challenge and went over to Nepal and taught around a thousand kids how not to drown,” Hoge said. “The area where this team went is an area of the world where there are typhoons and big waves.

“If you get a team for the Innovation Challenge and you’d like to go for some more funds to help a team prove an idea, do some more research, build a prototype or do code. There is money available for your team after the Innovation Challenge,” Hoge said.

Interim Executive Director of NDSU Research and Technology Park Chuck Hoge stands Tuesday in front of the entrance of the Technology Incubator.

Hoge wants to introduce the winners of this challenge to the startup community here in the Fargo-Moorhead area and hope the student-run team gains some traction.

JOSEPH RAVITS | THE SPECTRUM

“Good companies have to start with a good idea first,”Hoge said. “That’s what the Innovation Challenge is all about.”

North Dakota State College of Science reported last Thursday hackers gained access to the college’s information, although no evidence has been found of hackers using the data.

NDSCS Information Technology Services department knows of the malware activity and is addressing the breach, NDSCS’ press release said.

“Personal information such as names, Social Security numbers and mailing addresses of more than 15,000 current and former students and employees were contained on some of the affected computers,” the release said. “Those whose information was found are in the process of being notified.”

The malware was first detected Sept. 1.

ITS officials from NDSCS and the North Dakota University System completed a thorough internal investigation, the release said.

“Law enforcement has been contacted, and key systems have been sent to a national forensic organization to confirm the analysis,” the release said.

Although a national-scale response has been issued to address the breach, it is not thought at this time hackers are using information.

“We have found no evidence that any unauthorized individual accessed or is using the personal data,” said Cloy Tobola, NDSCS chief information officer.

“However we encourage all those affected to remain diligent in monitoring their personal information and to notify local law enforcement if they suspect any inappropriate or suspicious activity.”

NDSCS’ breach happened less than a year after the NDUS system was breached.

A toll-free hotline was established Friday by NDSCS to answer concerns and questions, the website said. It will be available for the indefinite future.

Twelve months of identity protection has also been offered by NDSCS to the affected for free.

“We are committed to the privacy of student and employee information,” said NDSCS President John Richman. “We are continually reviewing our practices and processes to enhance the security of sensitive information. This incident serves as a reminder that we need to be even more vigilant in those efforts.”

The relocation will relieve congestion, improve safety Benjamin Norman Head News Editor

The main campus bus hub’s days are numbered on Administration Avenue.

Along with the STEM building’s construction comes the move of the bus shelter south of the Memorial Union to a location on the East edge of campus.

Michael Ellingson, director facilities management, said the new stop is planned at the intersection of University Drive North and 13th Avenue North.

A horseshoe-shaped loop will circle the Alba Bales House.

Since University Drive North is a southbound one-way, the loop will also be a one-way, Ellingson said, that will be nearly exclusively used by Metro Area Transit buses.

The move will coincide with the completion of the STEM building. The start of January 2016 is the tentative date for completion of both projects.

“The STEM construction,” Ellingson said, “we think the majority of the work will be done by November of 2015. That’ll give us a month and a half to get all of the equipment

and all the teaching material in by the end of the year.”

Construction needs to be completed before bus riders are dropped off at the new location, Ellingson said.

“We don’t want students dropped off outside of the construction zone.”

President Dean Bresciani mentioned the hub move in his 2014 State of the University address.

Bresciani said the move was logical and necessary, particularly when it comes to safety.

Ellingson said a traffic

study done recently was telling.

The study showed four buses compete for space at the current location, obstructing sight and congesting foot and motor traffic.

Traffic goes both ways on Administration Avenue, as well, further complicating matters.

Not to mention, Ellingson said, some of the heaviest pedestrian traffic on campus occurs around the Memorial Union.

“The way the roads

Traffic on Administration Avenue and throughout the center of campus will no longer be as congested.

“The more we can try to keep the bigger vehicles on the outer edges of campus, the better off we’ll be,” Ellingson said. “I understand buses are going to go through the main part of campus – on Albrecht, on Centennial – this is just one way we can keep them off of campus but get students where they need to go.”

are shaped,” Ellingson continued, “the motorists nor the pedestrians have a good means or understanding of where (to drive) and walk.”

Safety is a primary concern, Ellingson said.

“We have people walking in between buses,” he said. “We have the parking lot (motorists) who can’t see because the buses are there.”

“We have had some very near misses,” Ellingson said.

One Herd to Open Kiosk in West Acres Bison merchandise to help support families with medical crises Camille Forlano

Contributing Writer

On Wednesday, One Herd, an officially licensed online North Dakota State clothing and merchandise company, opened a kiosk

in the West Acres Mall in Fargo.

Various gifts, apparel, prints and accessories currently only available for purchase online are for sale at the kiosk.

The kiosk will be located in the food court within in the mall near the Rising Bread Co. One Herd was formed

in 2013 in conjunction with Spotlight Media, which is the publisher of Bison Illustrated, Fargo Monthly, Design & Living Magazine and Stride Health & Lifestyle Magazine.

Mike Dragosavich, co-founder and NDSU alumni who was an AllAmerican Bison punter, says increasing customer

demand for Bison gear led to the opening of the local kiosk.

“As the Bison Nation continues to grow, fans have asked for more readily-available Bison merchandise,” Dragosavich said.

The mission of One Herd is to extend the spirit of the NDSU Bison to

anyone who wants to be a part of the great tradition.

One dollar from each purchase at the kiosk will be donated to Lend A Hand, a program of Dakota Medical Foundation that helps raise funds for families during medical crises. OneHerd. com has recently raised more than $2,600 for Lend A Hand.

Construction Extended on 19th Avenue in Fargo

The Fargo City Commission voted Monday to give Master Construction until Nov. 23 to complete construction on 19th Avenue without any penalties.

Construction began last April but faced delays due to rain, utility problems and other shortage issues.

The City of Fargo is estimated to get back about $12,000 to $30,000 in liquidated damages.

Fargo engineers did not give an incentive for completion of the project on time or a penalty for not when the project was bid out.

Body Found in Red River Identified With help from a citizen’s tip, 48-year-old Clement Bravebull was identified as the body found in the Red River, said the Moorhead Police Department.

Bravebull’s body was seen by a boater on Sept. 29 and was recovered by the

A former North Dakota State women’s lacrosse player, Alaina Larae Ritchie, 20, of Fargo was charged Friday in Cass County District Court with one count of forgery, a Class C felony.

The team treasurer has been accused of using her job at Gate City Bank to forge checks to the team and herself.

On May 22, a Gate City Bank employee contacted the Fargo Police and reported four checks issued by the bank to escrow refunds, according to the court documents filed with the charges.

Insurance companies had also been signed over the

NDSU Women’s Lacrosse Club with the name “Emily Driessen,” the club president, and deposited to the club’s account.

The checks totaled to $6,083.30, and were sent to bad addresses so they were returned to the bank, the court documents said.

Driessen’s handwriting did not match the signatures on the back of the checks and Ritchie confessed to stealing the checks while forging her teammate’s name and depositing the check into the account, court records said.

Ritchie said she used the money to pay lacrosse club expenses.

Sights on Student Orgs | Phi Kappa Phi Unique honor society makes mark in national competition Connor Dunn Features Editor

Every college has honor societies to recognize students’ high academic achievement through scholarship opportunities, honor cords or a simple certificate, but none are like North Dakota State’s Phi Kappa Phi. For starters, membership in Phi Kappa Phi is the only honor society designation that will appear on your university transcript.

Phi Kappa Phi is also second oldest honor society in the United States, and until recently, it was only for faculty.

“The faculty of NDSU felt they wanted more participation and the input of the students, and for them to enjoy the benefits from the organization ... they opened it

up to students,” said Courage Mudzongo, a graduate student and the student vice president for Phi Kappa Phi. NDSU students invited by the dean of their college to join are juniors who are scholastically in the upper 7.5 percent of their class after completion of at least 72 semester credits, seniors who are scholastically in the upper 10 percent of their class and graduate students who have completed one academic year or are on a part-time basis for the equivalent of at least one academic year with a 4.0 GPA. Those who have achieved this level of academic performance typically represent about 3 percent of the university’s student population.

Phi Kappa Phi membership includes opportunities for both national and local scholarships, grants and fellowships for graduate and professional studies, discounts through technology, insurance and other companies and other benefits still available after graduation.

But for Mudzongo, Phi Kappa Phi is more than material benefits.

“It’s about the prestige. Who doesn’t

active at the national level of the honor society as a part of a council of students.

The council wanted to do a national student project using the example of NDSU chapter’s book drive with prizes for the top five chapters.

“Based on our work, it became a national project,” Mudzongo said. “We collected about the same number of books for Fort Berthold Community College in New Town and won a ‘Little Free Library’ for placing in the top-five nationally.”

The Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone can stop by and pick up or bring back a book to share. The group has been discussing where to put it on campus where people and students can have access to it.

“Not only are you going to get a lot of recognition and prestige by being part of Phi Kappa Phi, but you are also getting a unique opportunity to make a difference in the community,” Mudzongo said. “This tribal college support we’ve got going here, that’s special.”

Halloween Treats - Witch Hats

BY MADISON SCHILL & PHOTOS BY KATIE ANDERSON

As if the cool weather and falling leaves weren’t indication enough, let me remind you Halloween is right around the corner. I have to be honest, Halloween is by far my least favorite holiday. It has been ever since I was a kid.

Haunted houses are my worst nightmare, and I find it hard to sit through a horror movie without closing my eyes during at least half of it. Needless to say, I’m not exactly looking forward to Oct. 31. Lucky for me, though, there are some perks to Halloween: the sweets.

Oh yes, not only does Halloween present the opportunity to dress up and have fun, but it’s also a great excuse to feast on sweets.

From the looks of Pinterest, it seems that most people agree.

The site is crawling with creative Halloween treats. But you know what almost all of them have in common? They’re all super time consuming and elaborate.

Don’t get me wrong; the goodies are really cute. I give mad props to people who are talented and patient enough to make them. However, I’m not one of those people.

want to be in an organization with such high rollers like Hilary Clinton, William Howard Taft and Jimmy Carter?” Mudzongo said.

“Phi Kappa Phi also looks to do projects in the community to help improve and better fellow citizens in line with the society’s motto to let the love of learning rule humanity.”

In 2012, the leaders of Phi Kappa Phi wanted to coordinate a book drive for the students of Turtle Mountain Community College, but they had trouble getting students on board with the project. When Mudzongo’s cohort came in for the new year, they decided to try again and complete the project.

Two thousand books were delivered to the students of the tribal college in 2013.

“Those were high-quality books because we weeded out all of the bad and not-so useable ones,” Mudzongo said. “We made sure each and every one of them was good and relevant.”

That book drive worked so well that it drew the attention of a former NDSU Phi Kappa Phi student president, who also was

1.

Luckily, there’s a recipe for a cute, simple treat on Pinterest I’ve always been a fan of. All it takes is a pack of cookies, a bag of Hershey’s kisses and some icing to make some adorable (and edible) witch hats perfect for any Halloween party or just to give out to your friends. Here’s how you do it: 1. Make a ring of icing on the bottom of a Hershey’s kiss. I usually like to put on a lot of orange icing, so it adds a little more Halloween to the hats, but I used black icing this time.

2. Put the kiss in the middle of the cookie. This time I used Keebler’s Coconut Dreams cookies, only because they are my favorite. The Fudge Striped cookies work better for this recipe though.

There you have it — only two steps!

These treats are so easy, you can make a bunch of them in a short amount of time.

They give the illusion of creativity without all the work. Now you can go whip up a batch of goodies that will taste good and impress everyone at the party.

Royalty, Writers, Murderers Converge in Historic Edinburgh STORY & PHOTOS BY LINDA NORLAND After living in the north of England for several weeks, traveling to Scotland for a weekend break was like a refreshing blast of icy sea air — literally.

Located on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, where the river Forth runs into the North Sea, the city of Edinburgh is famous for its culture, writers and — as chilly travelers will certainly tell you — its brisk coastal weather.

With all the museums, pubs and tea rooms about, it is all too easy to find a welcoming place to come in from the cold. And, if you walk far enough away from the Royal Mile where thousands of tourists converge every day, you might even meet some of the locals.

As entertaining and touristy as Edinburgh’s city center is today, it is hard to imagine the hardships that befell people living there in centuries past. The “closes,” or alleyways, that snake through the city center display chilling plaques of noted murders that happened down their darkened

stairs. They provide a grim reminder into the hard life of the common people, if you leave the hustle-andbustle of the Royal Mile long enough to read them.

Ghost tours aplenty take advantage of this dark history. Real Mary King’s Close offers a more historical look into the life of common figures, such as maids. Actors portraying these characters lead tour groups through the oncesecret passages beneath the city to give them a look into what life was like in time gone by.

Many famous artists and writers once called Edinburgh home, too. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author and creator of Sherlock Holmes, was born and lived there. Author J. K. Rowling also lived in Edinburgh while working on “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” writing at several local cafes. The Elephant House is particularly famous because of her and is quite busy during the day.

For those who really get excited about books, this city has two large libraries

and literary tours which take bibliophiles to famous literary landmarks across the city.

Generations of royalty have also called this historic city home. The Palace of Holyroodhouse is located at one end of the Royal Mile.

It is still a working palace, and the Queen spends a week there every summer.

However, Holyrood is more famous for the historic apartments of Mary, Queen of Scots, a tragic figure in Scottish history. Tourists can tour the building for a price, but it is definitely worth it.

A climb up to Arthur’s Seat also gives travelers a magnificent sight of the entire landscape and is well worth the effort. Vaguely tied to the legend of King Arthur, this wild spot is, ironically, perhaps the best place to fully comprehend this wonderful city. Just do not get blown off the top — the winds really are brutal.

A statue of a skye terrier greets potential customers outside the Greyfriars Bobby.

The small city holds many discoveries from sights from sidewalks to nearby tunnels.

OUTDOOR OUTLOOK:

Nonresident Hunters

Ben Koenig

Contributing Writer

While North Dakota residents have been duck hunting for three weeks now, nonresidents have only been going at it for two weeks. For those out hunting in North Dakota, they may be seen driving to hunting locations more often.

The 2014 North Dakota duck hunting season has been talked up to be a good one. An article written in the October 2014 issue of American Hunter describes the season as one that hunters should consider taking part in, no matter where they are from. As a result, readers may possibly consider taking the trip up to our state to take advantage of the season.

This is a good thing. The extra hunters will help out those in the area by creating business for gas stations to guide services. They will also have to pay the much higher license fees, which will be put back into the state by way of wildlife management and other programs.

I had an experience last year with some nonresidents one morning

while out duck hunting. I parked my truck, got my stuff together and was almost to where I was going to set up for the morning when off in the distance I saw headlights. I kept going hoping that this truck would head off somewhere else, but it did not.

As I started throwing decoys out, I saw a headlamp walking towards me. Wanting to be sure that he heard me, I started to throw the decoys up higher so the splash would alert him.

Upon hearing the splash, he asked me if I was hunting there. I told him yes, while thinking to myself, “What else would I be doing out here?”

At this, he said they would then set up farther down the body of water.

This area happened to be fairly large with a lot of structure, so I felt fine thinking he would go far enough away.

After legal shooting time, I heard shots from their direction and they sounded plenty close. This somewhat bothered me and may or may not have affected the ducks coming to where I was, but at any rate, I only had two ducks after a couple hours.

study

This week’s puzzle and answers will be published through the study break link on The Spectrum’s homepage.

After packing up, I started the walk back to my truck. Along the way, I came across the other hunters. I stopped to talk with them and see how they did. Going into the conversation, I was slightly bothered that they were fairly close to me.

One of the guys started off asking if he thought they were too close to where I was. I replied that they were closer than I would have gotten, and that if I would have been the second person there, I would go to a whole new spot.

It was here they informed me that the two of them had come from Ohio to hunt for a week. I then became a little more understanding to the fact that they just did not know the area very well, and the long travel limits the amount of scouting they can do.

After visiting with them, I wished them luck and went on my way. They turned out to be nice people who just did not have the type of duck hunting back in their home state we have here.

For the rest of the season, be prepared to see more people from out of the area, and if given the chance talk, with them for a bit and welcome them to North Dakota hunting.

A Look at the Measures on the Ballot This Year One guy’s take on the laws that will change our state Eric Thibert

Contributing Writer

Nov. 4 isn’t very far away, so it’s about time undecided voters start making up their minds on this year’s statewide ballot measures. It helps to know what other people are thinking about the issues before taking a position, so here’s my view on all eight.

It’s a good thing I’m doing this in numerical order so I can get the ugliest issue out of the way first.

MEASURE 1 This measure would put a new section in the state constitution saying “The inalienable right to life of every human being at any stage of development must be recognized and protected.” Supporters hope that voters will treat the amendment as a statement of belief and not as a change that will have real-world consequences. The “no” bloc reminds us that these changes will affect end-of-life care, living wills, do-not-resuscitate orders, birth control and many other healthcare choices that we seem to be taking for granted. Supporters of the measure insist the fears are unfounded, but that judgment will be made in court -- not the opinion section of the newspaper. It’s very likely a judge will be forced to apply the text to other areas of healthcare. For the sake of clarity and responsible public policy, I vote no.

MEASURE 2 This measure would change the constitution to prohibit taxes on mortgages and property transfers. I’d probably support this measure if it simply called for a reduction or even a temporary elimination of those taxes. The problem is that this idea only works when the weather is right. Measure 2 is a constitutional amendment that would permanently prevent the government from

levying those types of taxes, even if we needed them in the future. I’ll be voting no and hoping that someone will rewrite the measure as a workable statute for the next election.

MEASURE 3 As a student and constant critic of our state government and its power grabs, none of these measures moves me more than Measure 3. It would abolish the eightmember State Board of Higher Education and replace it with a three-member commission.

My concern is that it will consolidate too much control of public universities in the hands of a small handful of partisan decision makers. The current board consists of eight people, one of which has to be a full-time student. Under the proposed three-person plan, direct student representation would be limited to a small advisory role, and that’s only if the legislature chooses to create an advisory board. Add this to the narrow representation we would get from a threeperson commission and the threat it may pose to accreditation, and I’m left with enough to oppose Measure 3.

MEASURE 4 This measure is another proposed constitutional amendment, penned by the legislature, that would prevent citizens from petitioning for an initiated constitutional amendment that deals with the appropriation of funds. The state government appears to be restricting voter control of tax dollars.

As former lieutenant governor Lloyd Omdahl remarked in the Jamestown Sun, “Apparently, legislators question the intelligence of the voters.” The initiative process is the closest thing we have to direct democracy, so it’s crucial that we do our part to protect it from any attempt to limit its power. Measure 4 puts the government between the people and their money, so I’ll be voting to defeat it.

MEASURE 5 The battle over Measure 5 is turning out to be one of the closest in this election.

Sunday’s Forum reported 44 percent of North Dakotans support this constitutional amendment, which directs 5 percent of oil

tax revenue to conservation efforts, while 37 percent reject it. At the heart of the opposition are a number of false claims.

Opponents say it will cost too much money, but the so-called Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks Amendment wouldn’t create any additional taxes since all of the conservation funds would be taken from a small portion of existing tax revenue. Another claim is that it would benefit out-of-state interest groups, but the truth is that all of the money stays in North Dakota to be used in projects that protect our state’s environment and resources. Our oil boom will make or break our state, and our economy has prospered so much already, so it’s only responsible that we make sure our precious natural resources survive this period. It’s for this reason that I will be voting for Measure 5.

MEASURE 6 This is first measure we’ve come to that isn’t a constitutional amendment. It would change the North Dakota Century Code to “create a presumption that each parent is a fit parent and entitled to be awarded equal parental rights and responsibilities by a court unless there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.” Proponents point out that our current laws favor mothers in custody battles and that it’s wrong to cut out the father without a good reason. Opponents say our current laws provide for the best interest of the child in custody battles. I have no opinion to express other than my disappointment that this statute’s advocates haven’t ignited a proper debate over the issue. The burden falls on the supporters of these measures to explain why the status quo needs to be changed, and that just hasn’t happened here. I’m not convinced, so I believe the responsible thing is to reject Measure 6.

MEASURE 7 Measure 7 “would repeal the requirement that an applicant for a permit to operate a pharmacy must be a licensed pharmacist, a business entity controlled by licensed pharmacists, a hospital pharmacy or a postgraduate medical residency program.”

A healthy debate has grown around Measure

7, making it one of my favorite topics this election cycle. Repealing the current law would allow stores like Walmart, Target and Walgreens to operate pharmacies in North Dakota. Proponents point out that these big chains are in a better position than local pharmacies to offer lower prices because of the nature of large-scale price competition.

They also say it would be more convenient for everyone, especially senior citizens, if they could get their medication from their local superstore. The “no” group says this low-cost logic isn’t right, and it points out that the pharmaceutical industry will become dominated by a few big price setters. They say it’s competition between the various small pharmacies that has kept drug prices down. There’s also concern that the big corporations will force the small businesses out of practice in places where people decide to get their medication from chains.

As much as I’m opposed to corporate power, I don’t think small businesses are entitled to protection when our focus should be on the consumer. In this case, I’m convinced the consumer’s best interest lies in having options, so I vote yes on 7.

MEASURE 8 Finally, the last measure would “require school classes to begin after Labor Day.” I’m glad that I’m ending my discussion with this measure because it doesn’t involve court precedents or interest groups or any of the other issues that make debates awful and bloody. It’s a straightforward, homegrown, citizen-driven initiative. Supporters say it’s difficult for kids to go back to school in August because the hot temperatures make for an unhealthy learning environment. They point out that their measure only deals with the day that classes start, so it doesn’t affect sports schedules or the school year end date.

On the other hand, I see no pressing reason to require all schools to start classes after Labor Day, and I believe each district will continue to decide what’s best for its own students. With that in mind, I respectfully reject Measure 8.

Don’tcha Know?: Like Sands Through the Hourglass… ...so are the days of North Dakota Jack Dura

Spectrum Staff

In the nearly 300 years of written North Dakota history, the state has some pretty significant dates. Not all are wonderful or upbeat, but many have set a certain milestone or marker in the datebook of North Dakota.

From over 100,000 days in our state’s history, here are five dates leaving their mark.

Feb. 11, 1805 On a wintry night at Fort Mandan near present-day Washburn, a teenage Shoshone woman gave birth to a boy with the help of an eastern explorer. These people were famed guide/interpreter Sacagawea and Captain Meriwether Lewis, who crushed the rings of a rattlesnake rattle and administered this remedy for labor pains to the young woman.

That night is especially a standout because it marked one of the first moments in the relationship among the explorers and the interpreter. Sacagawea later helped the Corps of Discovery acquire horses to cross the Rockies, while Lewis seemingly cured her of a sickness with water from a sulphur spring.

The bulk of what we know about Sacagawea is found in these explorers’ journals, and while her death is debated, her contributions to the Corps of Discovery are wonderfully documented.

Sept. 7, 1883 In the early morning darkness of this day, a young man from the east stepped off a train and onto the Little Missouri depot of what was then western Dakota Territory. His name, you ask? Theodore Roosevelt.

We North Dakotans perhaps exaggerate Roosevelt’s experience in our state as a rancher and cowboy, but he’s a legend nonetheless. He’s one of our own. After all, his buffalo hunt that late-summer led him to ranching near Medora, a time he later regaled

Nov. 2, 1889 I love birthdays, and no one can deny that Nov. 2 isn’t special for our state. President Benjamin Harrison admitted our state to the Union along with South Dakota on this day in history, and I’ll be damned if this year’s birthday isn’t special. It will mark 125 years of North Dakota (and South Dakota too, I guess).

Over $3.5 billion in damages was racked up, and the disaster remains the most memorable for North Dakotans.

A day in May 2006 It was one day in spring of 2006 that the independent oil company EOG Resources drilled and discovered oil in the Parshall Field in Mountrail County. This finding is mainly credited with setting off the North Dakota oil boom, a monster unto itself of extraction ethics, housing woes, rising crime and an explosion of traffic in western North Dakota.

Now, eight years later, North Dakota is putting out one million barrels of oil a day. That’s great, you betcha, but we’re the deadliest state in the nation to work in and tote a fatality rate five-times higher than the American average.

Thousands of people have flocked to the western part of the state for work, overwhelming cities like Minot, Williston and Watford City. The Bakken Formation underlying much of western North Dakota is estimated to hold over four billion barrels of oil, but who knows when the wells will run dry or the boom will go bust like before in the ‘80s.

As with any other day in North Dakota, only time will tell.

More Politics, More Problems We are our government Nathan Arel

Contributing Writer

It seems like everybody hates the government. No matter what is going wrong in somebody’s life — a failed midterm, a lost relationship, being declared criminally insane — Americans tend to feel an unbridled hatred for the people they pay their taxes to.

There is no irony in the fact people have many reasons to hate the government.

This

government that blows their tax dollars and is plagued by endless gridlock has little to show in the way of innovation and seems like a faceless, merciless entity that we are all enslaved to.

But where irony can be found is in the idea that all of this anger and pain may just be the people’s fault.

I never paid as much attention as I should have in American government class.

For some reason, the long, drawling lectures about political procedures and the judicial system seemed too much like a filibuster to me.

But if there is one thing I did pick up between fits of prolonged unconsciousness,

“Our government is not run by computers; all members of the executive, legislative and judicial branches are American citizens, many of whom were chosen by the people.” it is that governments reflect the people they represent.

When thought of straightforwardly, this idea sounds obvious. Our government is not run by computers; all members of the executive, legislative and judicial branches are American citizens, many of whom were chosen by the people.

Of course this statement comes with the

assumption that the people who run our government are not astronomically, culturally and idealistically separated from the rest of the population, as some radically-elitist mob of sociopaths. Some people believe this, but I personally do not. I mean, they have the same TV shows we do, right?

With this assumption there is only one conclusion

to be made: Our government is a perfect representation of our society. This thought may be scary but cannot easily be thrown down.

For instance, we have a government that sits through weeks of gridlock because they cannot possibly compromise on a given issue.

Does this remind anyone of cable news? Or take into account that congressional speeches are being written at an eighth grade level.

Now, I have no wide-scale evidence that all of society is “dumbing down,” but I will settle for the fact that I have a coworker in his mid20s who actually has no idea what taxes are.

In hindsight, this trend can be seen all across history.

Shortly before the Civil War, a southern senator nearly beat a northern senator to death with a cane while still in the congressional building. If that does not reflect the feelings of the people, nothing does.

And now our government is a mess of bored politicians who cannot get anything done and have serious communication issues. All they need is an iPhone 6 and VH1 and there will be no telling them apart from the rest of us.

Passing Measure 1 is a Bad Idea Denise Luttio

Contributing Writer

North Dakota seems to have controversial measures on the ballot every voting season, but I think Measure 1 takes the cake.

In November, we will be asked to decide on a law that protects life at every stage of development. It sounds good, right? Wrong.

It is anything but good.

The measure is terribly worded and extremely ambiguous. It was meant to protect our current laws but is not needed and actually does the opposite.

It directly opposes some of our existing laws, which means, if passed, it will tie up our court systems like you wouldn’t believe.

Simply put, supporters say this bill is to end

“It directly opposes some of our existing laws, which means, if passed, it will tie up our court systems like you wouldn’t believe.”

abortion. In reality, this bill would end in vitro fertilization.

It would further muddy up alreadyoutdated, end-of-life laws.

Last, but certainly not least, it would put the government between you

and your doctor. Therefore, people who need a doctor’s help to have a family, the terminally ill and basically anybody who would ever see a doctor for anything could be affected by the passing of this bill.

This measure is being supported by Personhood USA, a religious group that is not even based in North Dakota. They were somehow able to fool enough of our legislators to get it on the ballot.

There were recent poll results showing 50 percent of people supported the measure, 33 percent were planning on voting “no” and 17 percent were undecided.

All this means to me is not enough people have been informed of what the measure will actually do if passed. I think once people realize what they are voting for, religious views aside, this measure will not pass.

The murky language is dangerous and is going to spell disaster if passed in North Dakota.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A Response Regarding Measure 1 Measure 1 supporters have been crystal clear that the purpose and the only effect of Measure 1 is to increase constitutional protection of our current pro life laws. Measure 1 opponents, on the other hand, have tried to make the discussion about anything except abortion.

Measure 1 opponents have claimed the measure

will ban In Vitro Fertilization, end of life medical care and even medical research.

Measure 1 supporters have patiently and thoroughly debunked these claims with expert testimony, fact check analysis, endorsements from state political leaders like Senator Hoeven and Congressman Cramer as well as with white papers from leaders in the health

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A Response Regarding Measure 1 It has been very interesting watching the discussion over Measure 1, which will appear on the November ballot.

Unfortunately the public has yet to hear any honest debate on the issue as the opposition has relied solely on disingenuous rhetoric designed to confuse and generate fear in the voters.

The simple answer begins and ends with the language of the measure, which is as clear and concise as any measure ever placed before the voters.

“The Inalienable right to life of every human being at

any stage of development must be recognized and protected.”

The only confusion is that being generated by opponents focusing on the word life rather than the word “right.” This is a significant difference, and the measure specifically protects the right to life; right, not life, is the object of the statement.

So what is a right?

Rights are defined as things to which you are entitled or allowed. Rights are not defined as things you must possess, and you are not compelled to exercise

rights. You can forfeit a right by simply not employing it. For instance, the 2nd Amendment guarantees us the right to bear arms. This doesn’t mean we must bear arms, it means that we may bear arms if we so choose. If we object to bearing arms for any reason whatsoever, we can choose to not do so. We can even protest the rights of others to do so. There are those to whom, despite a constitutional guarantee, this right has been revoked, as with felons. That is to say, even when a right is constitutionally guaranteed, governments can still choose

to revoke rights under some circumstances.

Opponents say that Measure 1 will impact DNR orders, living wills, and other end-of-life decisions holding doctors liable if they comply with any of these and allow the individual in question to die naturally by not taking extraordinary measures to save them and leading to endless lawsuits.

Well, that is simply not true, and if one understands the notion of a right, it is easy to see why. If an individual creates legal directives to be carried out under certain circumstances, that person

has made clear their desire to either employ or forfeit their right to life under those circumstances. If the directive calls for no extraordinary measures to be taken to save the life in the event of an accident none will be taken, and to say that Measure 1 would change that is absurd. Measure 1 does not mandate the unlimited protection of life itself, it puts the decision in the hands of the individual by protecting his right to live or die.

If the measure were

designed to protect life itself, the fears being placed in the minds of voters would be legitimate, but the clear language of Measure 1 protects the right to life, which is a completely different standard and puts all of these fears to rest.

In the end one must ask oneself a simple question, “Should my right to life to be constitutionally protected and do I believe that others deserve the same protection?” If the answer is yes, don’t hesitate to vote yes on Measure 1.

The Conundrum Column: People Too Easily Offended The rampant prevalence of offensive culture Caleb Werness Opinion Editor

Note: T h i s column serves

to address various issues of pretty much any nature.

These issues may be ones that are frustrating, annoying or even humorous. Reader attention is advised.

Everywhere you go now, it seems someone somewhere is offended by something. Why is that? What happened to people having thick skin?

Americans used to be people

who were tough folks, not ones to hold punches. Now everybody whines and complains about anything that bothers them in the slightest.

“Your ad makes me feel ugly. I’m suing.” How did lawsuits like these even become a thing people would consider going through with?

We have devolved into a

culture of people who walk on eggshells.

So what if you disagree with someone or something.

Are you so entitled that you feel the need to complain over social media, or even to try and get them to change?

The solution is not complicated; in fact, it is only three short syllables: Deal with it.

You can’t go through life

trying to appease everyone.

It is a given, regardless how hard you try, and there will always be someone who is disgruntled. Stop trying to dump your offense on everyone else.

Heaven forbid someone doesn’t like you or your beliefs. It is a childish notion. These offense-prone people need to learn to simply live and let live.

Enticing Repertoire Set to Perform at Wind Symphony Concert Seven weeks of rehearsals come to fruition Madelyn May Spectrum Staff

Fifty members of North Dakota State’s Wind Symphony will be taking the stage this Sunday to perform seven thrilling and enticing pieces in their first concert since the renaming of the Challey School of Music in September.

Among these band members, sophomore bassoonist Mike Hilden, a music major, will be performing on Sunday. Hilden and his fellow symphony members have been rehearsing relentlessly since the start of the fall semester for the upcoming Wind Symphony concert.

“We’ve essentially been practicing and rehearsing for this concert since the first day of school this year,” Hilden said.

After nearly seven weeks of rehearsal, this thoroughly planned concert will surely be a huge reflection of the Wind Symphony’s hard work and determination.

“This concert was diligently programmed and includes the basic infrastructure that every successful concert needs,” Hilden said, adding, “Factor in the committed, hard-working students who have spent hours in the practice rooms practicing and holding sectional rehearsals and the product is a concert you can’t miss.”

Jazz Students See Semester’s First Concerts Performances highlight growth, soloists’ improv skills Jack Dura A&E Editor

Coming off a Studio 222 appearance in downtown Fargo last spring, the Challey School of Music’s Jazz Lab and Jazz Ensemble groups are back with their first performances of the fall this Friday night in Festival Concert Hall.

Nearly 20 students fill out the two groups, with trumpets, trombones, saxophones and a rhythm section lining the ranks. Expect a range of tunes with these offerings, as numerous flavors are up for grabs.

Each group has about five tunes each, with Jazz Lab dipping into the sounds and styles of blues shuffle, a Dizzy Gillespie mambo and even some funk. An original ballad is also lined up on the set list here, with freshman chemistry major Braden Weight spotlighted with an alto saxophone solo.

The students of Jazz Ensemble also showcase their skills with a myriad of aural flavors in their performance.

“They’ll be doing a varied program as well,” director Jeremy Brekke said. “Swing and Latin and rock ... what we’re doing is actually rock/ funk, kinda both.”

It’s tunes like these in a concert set so close to the start of the year that show how far the student players can come in just under nine weeks.

“This is the first concert,” Brekke said, “so it’s always fun to see the quick growth right away that happens in terms of their playing ability.”

This twofer concert is also an opportunity to hear how skilled the students are on the fly with featured solos in the night’s tunes.

“Another cool factor about this is the soloists will be improvising quite a bit of it,” Brekke said. “It’s fun to hear their solos develop and their improvisation skills develop as well.”

While there is no return to downtown’s Studio 222 with this concert, the classy settings of the Reineke Fine Arts Center’s Festival Concert Hall play host here to the jazz groups. However, a downtown concert isn’t out of the picture for 2015.

“We’ll going probably downtown next semester, spring sometime,” Brekke said.

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again Cult classic puts Halloween twist on film series at Fargo Theatre

BY TESSA BECK & PHOTO COURTESY OF ROCKYHORROR.WIKIA.COM

In a most odd way, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has solidified itself amongst the ranks of both classic and cult film gold.

It is quite rare that a single movie can carry such a heavy underground following, yet possess enough respect to be titled a classic. Because of this, and to supplement the upcoming Halloween holiday, the Fargo Theatre is hosting the film as a part of its Classic Film Series.

This Saturday, the theater will be running two showings of the production, beginning at 7:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. Tickets are specially priced at $5 a seat. The Fargo Theatre runs a seasonal classic film series. Other films in the series include “Dead Poets Society,” “To Have and Have Not” and “White Christmas.”

The movies scheduled near holidays are smartly coordinated, making “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” the Fargo Theatre’s tribute to the Halloween celebration.

KNDS Album of the Month: ‘Ritual in Repeat’ by Tennis Third album sees lyrical, compositional beef-up Stephen Anderson KNDS Music Director

Tennis’s feet have finally touched ground.

Instead of popping the bubblegum bubble that floated their first two weightless albums, the trio ambitiously beefs up their lyrical and compositional chops to create their densest, most expansive record yet with “Ritual in Repeat.”

The sticky sweetness of “Young and Old” and “Cape Dory” surely remains intact, though “Ritual in Repeat” doesn’t try to hide the consequential cavities that its predecessors have left. Frontwoman Alaina Moore’s saccharine voice is equally steeped in tones of lover’s anguish and a “forget ‘em” swagger.

Presented in layers, the choir of Moore’s voices demonstrates the band’s greatest asset, building every hooky chorus to the clouds.

Breaking from the ‘60s-informed, guitardriven pop of their previous efforts, Tennis’s palette is wider this time around.

Songs reel assuredly through the decades with sleek, subtle shades of disco

Tennis released their third album, “Ritual in Repeat,” a departure from their previous album construction.

(“I’m Callin’”), Spectoresque bob-and-clap bangers (“Bad Girls”) and romping, dreamy psychedelia (“Night Vision”).

These tunes have been around the block and wear their scars like badges.

Synths are washed with more than a little fuzz, and on the standout “Solar on the Rise,” guitarist Patrick Riley seems to be anxiously

waiting for a space large enough to slash through with a gritty, diving riff.

This sonic expansion surely could be chalked up to the impressively quick maturation of the group’s writing abilities, and though that statement wouldn’t be incorrect, something must be said for the production of the album as well. Tennis’s short history makes clear

the importance of who is sitting on the other side of the studio glass.

While their first album was self-produced, the giant step forward on “Young and Old” could not be argued without mentioning the outward-pushing of their aural atmosphere

by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney. In the interim between that album

and this, the group tapped Richard Swift, member of the Shins/bedroom producer extraordinaire, to add his sepia touch to the all-tooshort “Small Sound” EP of last year.

Tennis may have been able to stand on their own, but the external coaxing from these producers undoubtedly aids in the transcendence of their own creativity. The band must know this as well, for Carney and Swift were both invited back for “Ritual,” and Spoon’s Jim Eno also pokes his head in to direct the lilting jaunt of “Bad Girls.”

Luckily, Tennis’s own ever-solidifying vision and voice ground the record and avoided what could have been a too-many-cooks-inthe-kitchen zigzag between songs.

For a band with a toocute origin story (husband and wife duo Riley and Moore wrote their first album over the course of several months while they sailed the Eastern seaboard), Tennis has struck a delicate balance between soda-pop effervescence and artistic gravity. On the impeccable strength of “Ritual in Repeat,” Tennis is sure to win over listeners’ game, set, match.

North Dakota State running back Chase Morlock busts off a run Saturday against Southern Illinois in the Fargodome. NDSU plays Indiana State, the last team to beat NDSU, Saturday at home.

Bison Prepare to Battle Indiana State After 2012 Loss at Home ISU last team to beat NDSU before the Bison’s 30 consecutive win streak Pace Maier

Spectrum Staff

The last time Indiana State came to play North Dakota State in the Fargodome, the Sycamores beat the Bison in a close 17-14 contest. The Sycamores returned not one but two interceptions for touchdowns to claim the victory. NDSU won the last meeting between these two teams 56-10 in Terre Haute, Ind. In fact, NDSU is on a 30-game winning streak on the line, and the last team to beat the Bison was that ISU game two years ago.

“We talked about it with the captains, and I think if they don’t know it you’ll all tell them that was the last game they lost,” NDSU head coach Chris Klieman said to media members on Monday.

The No. 1-ranked Bison (6-0, 2-0 Missouri Valley Football Conference) will take on the No. 20-ranked Sycamores (42, 1-1 MVFC) at 2:37 p.m. Saturday at the Fargodome.

seven sacks, two forced fumbles on Saturday. Klieman said the team watched film from Saturday, and he was pleased with his players’ performance after a tough 17-14 win against Western Illinois.

As NDSU faces another MVFC team this Saturday, Klieman said he doesn’t know how anyone can predict the winners in conference play because of how skilled each team is.

The Sycamores are led by quarterback Mike Perish, who has thrown for nine touchdowns and 1,373 yards in five games.

The senior, who played against the Bison two years ago in the Fargodome, is expected to make his first start back since missing a game with a concussion last week.

Klieman said when he looked back at the stats from that game, he remembered Perish had some good success against his team.

“He’s not going to be intimidated about coming into the Fargodome,” Klieman said.

According to Klieman, his defense needs to make sure to put pressure on the quarterback. ISU averages a mere 86.2 rushing yards a game, but through the air the Sycamores hold a MVFC-best 268.7 passing yards per contest.

Klieman has a lot of praise for ISU’s defense.

ISU linebacker Connor Underwood leads the Sycamores’ defense with teamhighs seven sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss.

“We’ve got to know where he’s at,” Klieman said. “He’s a tremendous football player and we need to find formations where we know we can get him on a certain side.

He’s a terrific player and plays the game extremely hard. (Indiana State) utilizes him

in a number of different fashions whether they pressure him or drop him in coverage.”

Bison quarterback Carson Wentz struggled in the first half last week against SIU, but had a turn-around performance in the second half.

“Everybody has a ton of confidence in Carson … and (he) is a an exceptional player,” Klieman said. “But he needs to continue to get more experience and game snaps.”

The Bison will be without senior tight end Kevin Vaadeland, depending on when he gets his strength back from a shoulder injury. Klieman said he hopes he will be ready to go against South Dakota in two weeks.

Sycamores have surprised many this season. Klieman said ISU head coach Mike Sanford has done very well with the program this year.

“I give Sanford credit. I think he is a really good football coach,” Klieman said.

“He’s got a great pedigree. He’s been around the nation, so to speak, and he has those kids buying in.”

Klieman said his team will be prepared to produce at the highest level this Saturday.

“We are zero and zero — that’s what we talked about as a staff,” he said. “We have to find a way to find a great plan and great preparation in order for us to have some success on Saturday against Indiana State.”

Hey Bison Fans: Stay In Your Seats Next Time NDSU football victories are worth sticking around for Colton Pool Sports Editor

North Dakota State football pulled off a vital 3810 win over top 15-ranked Southern Illinois Saturday in the Bison’s Homecoming game. Leading into that game, I questioned how far NDSU would go in its Missouri Valley Football Conference schedule without a loss. With its now 30game win streak intact, I have plenty of confidence in the Bison going undefeated yet again this season.

NDSU (6-0, 2-0 MVFC) had come off a 17-14, nail-biting victory over Western Illinois, which was predicted to be at the bottom of the conference. This led me to

believe the MVFC was too games where the Bison good for the Bison to handle are barely winning or without dropping a game. “If you spend the money trailing, yet leave when They quickly shut me up and effort to get those they succeed the most.

when the Bison are on defense.

I’ve just been thinking a lot about what SIU head coach Dale Lennon said during the post-game press conference Saturday.

NDSU had just trounced his team, so naturally he was a little disheartened.

But his face seemed to light up when he was asked about the Bison’s 30-consecutive victories. Even this former University of North Dakota head coach thinks Bison fans should appreciate what they have.

“It’s something North Dakota State should be proud of, especially with the history here,” Lennon said. “I hope people don’t take this for granted because this is truly special.”

Don’t be too quick to forget the time when the Bison weren’t winning like they currently are. Remember when NDSU went 3-8 in 2009? Yes, freshmen, that happened.

Appreciate what you’ve got because this level of success is unprecedented for a program that might never see this kind of roll again.

Tale of the Tape: North Dakota State vs. Indiana State A look at NDSU football’s top ingame matchups this Saturday Joe Kerlin Staff Writer

Thirty N o r t h Dakota State football games ago, Indiana State entered the Fargodome with a surprising 4-2 record looking for respect within the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

I certainly didn’t give them any when I guaranteed a win and perfect season for the Bison for the first and last time in a column.

Then, Johnny Towalid

happened. Then Brock Jensen threw three interceptions. Then, Shakir Bell happened.

And then an apology letter happened.

It was a gut-wrenching loss that ultimately sprung the Bison to its current winning streak. But this Saturday, the Sycamores will again enter the Fargodome, looking to end another string of Bison success.

Here’s your tale of the tape for that game.

Carson Wentz vs. Indiana State’s secondary

Carson Wentz repeatedly went for the deep pass last week against Southern Illinois on his way to a pedestrian 174 yards passing on only 13 attempts.

Statistical anomalies aside, Wentz will have to play his most efficient game of

the season while facing a team that loves to bring quarterback pressure from the linebacker and safety positions.

The Sycamores rank third in the MVFC in pass defense efficiency and tie for third in the Valley with six interceptions. Johnny Towalid is no longer roaming the secondary, but the Sycamore’s defensive backfield is just as good this season and coming off a game where they held the Valley’s leading receiver, ISU’s Lechein Neblett, to 73 yards.

NDSU safeties vs. Indiana State’s Mike Perish

Western Michigan transfer Mike Perish missed the ISU game last week due to concussion-like symptoms. After seeing his team hang in against No. 10

Illinois State, the Sycamore quarterback and Valley passing leader will be ready to return.

Perish has been chucking the pigskin all over the field this season. His 67 percent completion rate is 2 percent better than any other quarterback in the Valley.

Perish is also averaging 45.5 more passing yards than the second leading passer in the Valley.

With only one interception this season, Perish will need to be surgical against a Bison secondary that’s allowed one touchdown through the air this season. The Bison shut down the secondbest passing attack last week against SIU, limiting Mark Iannotti to 146 yards through the air.

The one outlier in this

matchup is Parish’s 10 of 18 passing performance against the Bison in 2012.

He wasn’t great, but he did enough to not lose the game, which is all you can ask for when facing a defense that’s allowed 8.5 points per game.

NDSU’s offensive line vs.

Indiana State’s defensive line

Maybe the best matchup of the day is going to be how Bison tackles Joe Haeg and Landon Lechler handle defensive end Connor Underwood. A 2013 firstteam All-MVFC selection, Underwood, leads the Valley in sacks and is milking a sixgame sack streak since the beginning of the season.

Underwood is going to have to submit a J.J. Wattesque performance against the Bison if the Sycamores expect to leave Fargo with a victory, and he has the tools

to do it. Underwood’s seven sacks and two tackles for loss a game make Montana’s Zack Wagenmann look like a small junior-varsity nose guard. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a game changing play out of No. 55 Saturday.

Former NDSU head coach Craig Bohl once said, “It’s not far from the penthouse to the outhouse, and in the Missouri Valley, you need to be playing well or you’re going to get beat.”

Ironically enough, that quote was recorded four days before the Bison’s last defeat. ISU’s turnaround this season has never confirmed this quote more. The Bison better be ready for a battle in the penthouse of the Valley.

NDSU Nordic Ski Clubs Compete, Have Fun During Season Club leaders say Nordic skiing is a sport for everyone to enjoy Corrie Dunshee Staff Writer

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

But even if it doesn’t, the North Dakota State Nordic Ski Club will find a means to practice anyway.

Founded in 2010 by current men’s president Brian Kaeter and fellow skier Ben Koenig, the ski club is a student organization split into a men’s and a women’s team.

The clubs begin their season with dry-land training practices, which includes spinning, or using a stationary bicycle every Thursday in the spinning studio at the NDSU Wallman Wellness Center.

The club also rollerskis Sunday afternoons on bike paths around Fargo or other places including the Central Lakes Trail in Fergus Falls, Minn.

“It requires a level of dedication to be on the Nordic Ski Club to practice and race or travel most weekends during the winter months,” Kaeter said. “That being said, if someone didn’t want to be as involved, they are more than welcome to join us for a single practice if they want to learn how to ski and just have fun with it.”

Women’s president Morgan Martin also agrees that the club can be for anyone.

“The great thing about the club is that you can be involved and competitive as you want to be,” Martin said.

The Nordic ski clubs participate in the Midwest Intercollegiate Club Nordic Race League, which started last year to foster friendly competition and build connections between collegiate club skiers across the Midwest, Kaeter said.

Other participating schools include: Minnesota, Minnesota Duluth,

SKINNYSKI.COM | COURTESY OF North Dakota State Nordic Ski Club’s Mitch Nordahl, No. 2411, takes part in a Nordic Ski event last season. The club has started practice this year and will start its season in February.

Wisconsin – Madison, Wisconsin – Eau Claire, Carleton College (Minn.), College of St. Scholastica (Minn.) and College of

St. Benedict & St. John’s (Minn.).

Beginning next February, the clubs compete in five public races open

to the public: the City of Lakes Loppet on Feb. 1, Mora Vasaloppet on Feb. 7, Minnesota Finlandia on Feb. 14, the American Birkebeiner on Feb. 21 and the Pepsi Challenge on March 7.

“Since we are racing in citizen races, this allows our not-as-experienced skiiers to take the races at their speed and enjoy it,” Martin said.

To travel to these races, ski club members drive their own personal vehicles but are reimbursed gas money by NDSU student government. Due to growing numbers, purchasing passenger vans is a possibility next season.

“Nordic skiing is a lifelong sport for everyone,” Kaeter said. “Some skiers have been skiing some of the race we compete in for 35 years or more.”

Because Nordic skiing is a club sport, members pay club dues, which allow them to use club equipment, race and travel to competitions.

Martin said student government helps out the

budget as well.

“Student government allows us quite a bit of money to pay for equipment, travel, hotel stays and race registration fees,” Martin said.

With growing numbers, both club presidents hope anyone who enjoys having fun in the winter will join the club.

“Our goals are that we do as best we can in the Midwest Intercollegiate Club Nordic Race League, teach as many new skiers as possible how to ski and offer an outlet for students to be active and have fun,” Kaeter said.

Martin said skiing is a great hobby and a sport anyone can compete in.

“If anyone is interested in Nordic skiing, I would most definitely recommend trying it out sometime,” Martin said. “It is a fun wintertime activity that can be enjoyed for the rest of your life.”
