Protesters Decry Verdict, ‘Rape Culture’ in America
Gathering on Veterans Memorial Bridge raises awareness for taboo topic
Benjamin Norman Head News Editor
A flood of people, about 50 protesters brandished with colorful posters, united together Tuesday afternoon above the Red River. Feet from honking traffic – blaring their horns in support – the activists rallied on the warm sidewalks of Veterans Memorial Bridge to voice their collective disgust of rape culture in America. A recent court ruling sparked the event. Minnesota State University Moorhead student Jessy Hegland created a Facebook group after a local man facing felony charges had his sentence lessened through a plea deal. Taylor Pederson pled guilty last week in a case accusing him of raping an MSUM student in Fargo. Instead of facing up to 20 years in prison with the Class A felony charge, Pederson pled guilty to two Class B misdemeanors. With the plea deal, Pederson avoided jail time and having to register as a sex offender. “This case is just another one where a rapist pleads guilty and gets to live on with his life,” Hegland said. While the case itself catalyzed the event, Hegland said the protesters were not only picketing the verdict. Most, if not all, protesters said something needs to change with the United States’ “rape culture.” North Dakota State student Margalit Balaban said not only was she protesting Protesters stand on Main Avenue with homemade signs. the “lenient charges” against Pederson, but she was also showing her support for women. “We can’t continue to support rape culture,” Balaban said. By doing so “we are saying what happens to women doesn’t matter.” She continued, saying while laws could be stricter, rehabilitation for offenders needed to be offered, too. Recently released polls have put college sexual assaults in the national spotlight. A Public Religion Research Institute survey of millennials found about onethird of respondents said they though sexual assault was “very common” in the university setting. About 40 percent of respondents thought sexual assault was “somewhat common,” the largest percentage. Less than 5 percent said sexual assault was “very rare.” The same poll revealed the majority of millennials – about 60 percent – thought collegiate institutions were not doing enough to address sexual violence on campuses. Because of the stigmatized and complicated nature of sexual assault, many cases go unvoiced, which upsets Hegland. “All of us have a voice, and all of us can do something to stop the violence,” Hegland said. “Silence is compliance. You get it? If you don’t say something, it means that it’s okay for it to keep happening. “And it’s not okay. And we need to say something” Balaban said by standing side-by-side with fellow protesters, a group including Protesters met 4 p.m. Tuesday between Moorhead and Fargo. men, women and children of all ages, a conversation was started. Loral Hannaher said she agreed awareness needed to be raised. Hannaher, a retired MSUM professor, saw the event on her Facebook feed Tuesday morning. As a mother of a daughter, she said the event hit home. “Our campuses need to be safer places,” Hannaher said. “ … It’s too bad this even has to be a part of life.” The protest served as a healing event for some, too. “It’s essential to hold the protest to show that there are people in the community that care,” Hegland said. “That we let the authentic voices be heard and for all of us to heal.” Protesters lined the Veterans Memorial Bridge, unifying

The team members behind McDaniel and Fergel’s campaign
Rape and sexual assault have been hot topics in the media lately, and I can’t help but think there is more we can do to stop it. But where do we start? How do we get the conversation going? I had the opportunity to hear Tal Peretz, academic at Seattle University, author of “Some Men: Feminist Allies and the Movement to End Violence Against Women” and blogger at masculinities101. com. Peretz was at NDSU talking about feminism, sexual assault and the role everyone, especially men, can play in stopping it. His blog has helpful tips for ways men can get involved in the conversation by educating themselves and using their male privilege to make positive change. I had the opportunity to talk with Peretz after his presentation, and one statement really stuck with me: “When we’re silent, whom are we protecting?” The issue of sexual assault is an uncomfortable topic, but one that needs to be talked about. Paying attention and getting the conversation started is the first step. This past fall, a sexual assault was reported close to home, mere blocks from campus. Just last week, a man who plead guilty to sexual assault of a Minnesota State University Moorhead student was sentenced to just a year of supervised probation. These cases, two of countless reported and unreported cases, illustrate this issue is indeed close to home and one we need to pay attention to. How can we get the conversation started? • Check out The Clothesline Project now through April 10. An open house with refreshments will be held on April 10 from 5-8 p.m. • Invite the NDSU Violence Prevention Educators to talk to student organizations you are involved in • Listen to Jessica Valenti, author of “Yes Means Yes,” a book addressing consent and sexual assault, on April 9 at 5:30 p.m. as she talks about “Why Feminism (STILL) Matters” • Come to the Sexpo organized by the NDSU Women’s Activist Organization to learn about community resources and organizations doing work to end sexual and domestic violence • Attend Take Back the Night during the fall semester to support survivors of sexual assault • Participate in rallies and protests in the community • Read books and blogs about feminism and sexual assault prevention because they everywhere • Watch videos of Jackson Katz, Laci Green and Jessica Valenti, activists who address sexual assault in their work

Athens to Fargo: Greek Life and Elections Strong Greek presence found in presidential tickets, student government
Benjamin Norman Head News Editor
Historians often cite Athens, Greece, as the birthplace of democracy. This Greek philosophy continues some 8,000 years later at North Dakota State. For the third time in as many years, at least one member of North Dakota State Greek life will hold the highest ranks of student government. Eric McDaniel and Josh Fergel, both members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, are vying for student body president and vice president. Their ticket is opposing Robert Kringler and Aaron Weber, a duo of Delta Tau Delta members. Fraternity presidents Diedrich Harms has been a member of SAE for over two years. He has resided as president since last semester. Harms said though SAE
cannot officially support a ticket like McDaniel and Fergel’s, the fraternity backs their brethren, nonetheless. “A lot of members of the fraternity do happen to support (McDaniel and Fergel) running and their platform because they know them so well,” Harms said. “ … There are a handful of brothers who are on their team and are helping them through campaigning.” Campaign volunteers are friends, not associated organizations like SAE, Harms said. The same campaign rules apply in Delta Tau Delta, fraternity president Connor Baker said. “Delts and Student Government are two completely separate entities, and members can choose to help as they wish,” Baker said. “Robert and Aaron asked for our help in their campaign, but it would never be required.” Baker also said some
“They inherently have a connection there. Because of that, it’s also really important that our student leaders who are Greek, or even those who aren’t, should start working out of that bubble.” – Robert Kringler, presidential candidate members of DTD are helping Kringler and Weber campaign. Both Baker and Harms said while their respective brethren could hypothetically work with the other ticket’s campaign, neither knows of anyone doing so. Presidential hopefuls While he was very active in Greek life leadership, McDaniel said he became active in student government just this year. “I didn’t really know what they were doing, so I wanted to see what I could do,” he said, “And see what I could change.”
McDaniel said SAE has helped his ticket mostly through support. “At the end of the day, they check in with you, which is really nice,” McDaniel said. Kringler said the same of DTD. “The Greek community as a whole is pretty tightknit,” Kringler said. Kringler was his pledgeclass president at DTD when he joined the newly founded fraternity his first semester. Kringler and Weber are the second all-DTD ticket; Robbie Lauf and Erik Diederich ran unopposed two years ago.
Greek supremacy Fraternity presidents and student body election hopefuls had differing thoughts on why Greek life is predominant in student government and elections. “It’s interesting. A lot of the people involved in Greek life are going to be more likely to want to be involved in more of that kind of (leadership) sphere on campus. They inherently have a connection there,” Kringler said. “Because of that, it’s also really important that our student leaders who are Greek – or even those who aren’t – should start working out of that bubble.” McDaniel said both Greek life and student government foster leadership. “The awesome leadership opportunities that develop a leader can be found” in both organizations, McDaniel said. Harms said he thinks the
bubble is created in part by the prototypical students looking for change. “I think students who want to get involved and make an impact often get into Greek Life to open their eyes to other possibilities,” Harms said. “ … Running for a position in Student Government illustrates that perfectly.” Whether the link between Greek life and student government is positive or a negative lies in the eyes of the beholder. “It can be a negative at time because it’s easy to get stuck in that sphere. It’s important to branch out to all spheres,” Kringler said. Baker said he shared similar thoughts. “As long as Greeks have a passion for service and leadership I think we will continue to see them on the ballot,” he said.

College of Pharmacy, Nursing and
Allied Sciences Receives Name Change College’s third name change in less than a decade Camille Forlano Staff Writer
North Dakota State announced it has a newly named college on campus. The College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Sciences has changed its name to the College of Health Professions. The North Dakota State Board of Higher Education approved the change at its
meeting Thursday. Paige Bell, a senior majoring in nursing, said she is excited about the name change and likes that the new moniker includes all areas of study. “It encompasses our passion towards health care” Bell said. Areas within the college have also updated their names to better reflect what they offer. The areas will
be the School of Pharmacy, the School of Nursing, the Department of Allied Sciences and the Department of Public Health. The College of Health Professions now has the largest enrollment of students in health-related disciplines of any college in the state. College of Health Professions Dean, Charles D. Peterson, said the name
change was the result of strategic planning including discussions with health professionals and advisory boards, as well as feedback from accrediting agencies. The new name better reflects the full scope of the college’s academic mission. The name change is also the result of health-care employers seeking graduates who are adept at team-based care that involves multiple
professions and accrediting bodies urging program leaders to emphasize interprofessional collaboration. Natalie Wiertzema, also a senior nursing student, also likes the name change. “It’s more unifying and gives us a sense of interdependence, which could ultimately lead to more effective collaboration in the health care setting,” Wiertzema said.
The College of Health Profession’s mission is to educate students and advance research and professional service in the pharmacy, nursing, allied sciences and public health fields. The most recent name change came in 2006 when allied sciences was moved to the college. Public health was added to the college in 2012.
NDSU Marksmanship Club Brings Home Hardware from Georgia
Small organization beats out bigger, more funded schools
Pace Maier
Co-News Editor
The North Dakota State Marksmanship Club traveled just under 1,500 miles to Georgia for the 2015 Intercollegiate Pistol National Championships last week. Junior Alana Townsend won the individual championship in the women’s air pistol event and took home the silver medal in free pistol. “I would not have been able (to) accomplish these things without the support from my teammates and coaches,” Townsend said. Along with Macy Nelson and Caitlyn Fleahman, Townsend was part of the women’s air pistol team that defeated Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the national title in a tiebreaker. Head coach Eric Pueppke said the team didn’t place in the air pistol, standard pistol, free pistol
or the women’s sport pistol events, but this year was the first time the team has ever won a team event. Townsend and Fleahman were also awarded with the All-American titles in air pistol. This award is based off season-long shooting averages as well as academics at their university. NDSU was one of the smaller universities to compete in the 2015 Championships that took place at the Fort Benning Army Base. Other schools that competed were MIT, Ohio State University, University of Utah, Texas A&M University, The Citadel, United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy and the University of Akron. “We operate on more of a shoestring budget than these other bigger universities have,” Pueppke said. Still, the club qualifies
for nationals almost every year. To qualify for nationals, the National Rifle Association takes the top 10 teams and the top 30 individuals and for the women’s categories the association takes the top seven teams and the top 20 individuals. This year the members of the NDSU Marksmanship Club that qualified for the 2015 Championships were Townsend, Nelson, Fleahman, Katrinia Martinez, Grant Johnson and Pryce Pinney. The club is a part of the NCAA Western Intercollegiate Rifle Conference and the studentathletes train at the Red River Regional Marksmanship Center located in West Fargo. “We’d like to thank NDSU for all of its fine support for our club team (and) special thanks to our advisor, Larry Cihacek,” Pueppke said.

Campaign Team Members Reveal Candidates’ Character
McDaniel and Fergel’s staff provide support system
Tessa Beck
Features Editor
North Dakota State students are approaching a considerable decision in regards to leadership. Student body elections reflect the general movement in which the Bison population wishes to pursue. Beyond dissecting platform points and reforms to current policies, students have two short campaign weeks to understand candidates on a professional level and, ideally, unveil personality and ethical values as well. Discovering the team members who make the campaigns possible adds narrative to candidates. Tommy Schmidt, RaeLyn Leier, Josh Krank and Zach Fuller commit themselves to the McDaniel and Fergel campaign team. The running mates reportedly began planning two summers ago with platform construction. Group meetings began in early January, where individual tasks were assigned and complications were ironed out. Tommy Schmidt, Graphics and Branding A senior architecture major was solely placed in charge of the design and branding of the McDaniel/Fergel campaign. “I created their brand identity. And they really gave me free reign, but I ran everything by them,” Tommy Schmidt said. “ ... Everything that the public sees – all the posters, all the graphics, the buttons, tee shirts, all the graphics, all the Facebook, Twitter – I did that.” Schmidt has always maintained a close relationship with the two presidential candidates, but admitted to the challenges the entire team faces during campaign time. “We’re all college students. We all have other things we need to be doing,” he said. “I know I’ve had a ton of school work, which almost seems like it’s gone on the backburner for this just because two weeks isn’t a lot of time.” RaeLyn Leier, Public Relations As a freshman studying political science and agriculture, Leier has passionately approached the campaign by running booths

and meeting with student organizations. When asked how she hoped the student body would approach the election, Leier said, “I hope people take a more active approach to being a student… I hope they approach it with more vigor.” Zach Fuller & Josh Krank, Residence Hall Association Fuller and Krank are both sophomores, studying business management and biology respectively. Their involvement
in the campaign came in sort of a second-handed manner. “We didn’t expect to be on the campaign team from the beginning,” Fuller said. “We actually thought about running ourselves. We realized we got the ball rolling a little late, so we decided not to run this year. But we wanted to be in the campaign to get the experience so we got in contact with Josh in Eric.”
GABBY HARTZE | THE SPECTRUM
The most advantageous elements Krank and Fuller bring to the campaign results from their involvement in the Residence Hall Association. With Krank as president and Fuller as a representative, they have the ability to access on-campus residents, who typically represent the lowest voter turnout. As a whole, the unit will work to support the McDaniel/Fergel campaign as fervently as possible until the polls open April 8.

Layering Blossoms for Spring 2015
Amber Zolondek Staff Writer
Spring has sprung, and it’s finally safe to say we can hang up our winter parkas in exchange for multiple layers, of course. North Dakota’s springs are one of the most temperamental seasons I’ve ever experienced, second to winter, but that’s beside the point. I can confidently say I think I have mastered the art of layering for cool mornings and warm afternoons. From running to class in the morning and off to internship duties in the afternoon, I have no time to change throughout the day. Without further ado, here is my step-bystep guide to layering for spring 2015: Start basic. I’m talking graphic tees, pops of color or even a simple button-down. By creating a good foundation, you’ll have no troubles finding a sharp ensemble for the day’s events. Find a jacket or sweater at best. Mornings are still a bit chilly here in NoDak, and it doesn’t hurt to have a good solid layer on. Investing in a utility jacket or nice camel trench coat has been one of the best additions to my wardrobe yet. Tights are not pants. However, they’re great for starting off the day with a cute dress I call stacking jewelry an “arm party” because that’s exactly what it is. Layer up! or skirt, and if you get too warm, just slip them off in the bathroom. It’s a great way to jazz up any outfit with some color or tone it down for a meeting or interview. Scarves, scarves, scarves. I joke with most of my clients at Evereve that a girl – or guy for that matter – can never have too many scarves. They’re just too versatile. Throw one with your T-shirt, blazer, handbag or in your hair, and you’ve just added an element of color or print that you didn’t have before. Lastly, accessorize. Jewelry, hats and other little details can be accounted as layering and rightfully so. Have an arm party or switch it up with a floppy hat to keep your admirers’ eyes moving. The thing that has attracted me to fashion so much is the versatility and ability to make it your own is so welcoming. Do what you need to make the look your own, but it’s okay to ask for a little help every now and then. You can check out more layering looks and ideas at Throwing together layers gives your look for spring a few different dynamics to keep the eye moving and entertained. addcreamandsugar.blogspot.com.

Students gathered for the presidential debate to better understand what both tickets have planned for NDSU.
Debate Offers Insight to Candidate Difference
Both tickets discuss their different ideas for NDSU’s future
Caleb Werness Opinion Editor
The debate was less of a debate and more a discussion allowing students to better understand what to expect from each ticket. Each of the candidates continuously came back to a main point: McDaniel & Fergel emphasized transparency within student government while Robert & Aaron strongly pushed student safety. Improving the student experience is the cornerstone of each platform. Both are seeking to improve the experience for incoming and transferring students. As a transfer student, Aaron touched on how they are sometimes forgotten. The peer mentoring program by McDaniel & Fergel looks to help incoming freshman by connecting them with an upperclassman. In doing so, students will have more direction in how to get involved and what to expect with school work.
Robert & Aaron discussed a new safe ride program as one the point they are most excited for and also one of their most challenging. This would provide students who have been drinking a ride home. Robert cited the bike share program and how it took several years to implement, noting the similarities to the safe ride program. Technicalities and liabilities provide the biggest hurdle for the project. McDaniel & Fergel struggled to discuss their plans for offering tests via the web. I cannot see professor’s agreeing to allow flexible testing schedules as it could offer an unfair advantage to students who have more time to study than their peers. Both tickets stressed their platforms don’t exclude those who are not involved in student government or student organizations. Each candidate brought a passion and desire to see the future of NDSU shine. Both provided strong, reasonable points as to why they are the best option for the presidency.
McDaniel & Fergel stand for making student government transparent. They want meeting minutes to be available to any student. They also want to keep students in the loop regarding current projects. This would be great as an outsider looking in, for example: not knowing the current state of the massive aquatic center project. Transparency, to me, is extremely important. Student government has the stigma of being clique-ish. I feel this push for transparency and restructuring of student government will make this organization more accessible to the students they represent. Robert & Aaron thrive as they know their way in the world of politics. Both have experiences lobbying for NDSU at the state capitol. I can see this experience having an invaluable effect on policymaking and funding. The notable platform point of alcohol sales at the Fargodome has no doubt gained support. While I see the merit to this proposal, it strikes me as more flash than substance. The administration has

People Outraged Over Lack of Sentencing
Colorado woman receives no punishment after murdering unborn baby

murder charges cannot be pressed if there is no proof the fetus lived as an actual child outside of the mother. Seemingly like a very tricky loophole, Lane allegedly cut the fetus out of Wilkin’s body and proceeded to take it to a hospital to claim a miscarriage. It was announced Thursday morning that Lane would not be charged with murder given the circumstances and laws according to District Attorney Stan Garnett. People are having a hard time adjusting to this
“Personally identifying as pro-choice, I still cannot justly say this act of animosity should be legal.” kind of statement, including myself. It also boots up the argument over when life begins, fetus or born child, in which case, it’s a very difficult debate to have. Personally identifying as pro-choice, I still cannot justly say this act of animosity should be legal. An individual allegedly went up to another
unknowing individual and cut her unborn baby out of her, how does that not constitute as murder? Some commentators are even suggesting Lane should be committed of murder for the fetus and attempted murder for the mother. Debaters are already losing this comparison
argument by putting this case and abortion next to each other based on one simple detail: choice. Unfortunately for Wilkins, she was never given the chance to save her own child. Lane’s husband reported to the police he heard the child take a “gasping breath.” Does that mean recent exit from the womb no longer constitutes as life? What has yet to be addressed by anyone is the motive. Why would Lane want to cut a fetus out of one woman, let alone seven
months along? Perhaps mental illness plays a part in this for you to be deeply disturbed to think of doing something so twisted. It’s tragic to think there may not be justice for Wilkins and her baby due to the careless handling of a questionable law passed years ago. District Attorney Stan Garnett is awaiting the autopsy in order to rule a proper sentencing for Lane. Since the incident, Wilkins has been reported to have been released from the hospital and safe with her family.

Editorial: Student President Platforms, Practicality Spectrum Staff
In a brief two-week window, student body president and vice president candidates are tasked with establishing and conveying their platforms to students. Which of these platforms points are practical and plausible, and which, if any, are only there to grab your attention? We examined both candidates campaigns to see which points stood out from the rest, for better or worse. Beer at Dome: Robert & Aaron If you’ve only heard one point from this campaign cycle, it’s likely Robert Kringler and Aaron Weber’s push for alcohol sales during NDSU football games at the Fargodome. The pair have plans to end the prohibition with alcohol sales they say will cut down on overconsumption and binge
drinking beforehand. The ticket has cited other schools’ approaches to selling alcohol at game time, institutions like the University of North Dakota and University of Minnesota. Though potentially smart for campus safety, it’s unfortunate beer at the Dome is being used as a political point. The Spectrum examined the possibility of alcohol sales in 2013, in which administration did not seem open to the idea. As of today, we have no evidence this has changed. Athletic Director Matt Larsen told the Forum, “We’re very comfortable with our policy as it is right now regarding athletic events, so I don’t perceive any change to the near future.” As a political point, it’s brilliant. Robert & Aaron capture the votes of the party crowd while
also grabbing the attention of students more invested in candidates’ platforms by filing the point under “campus safety.” Ultimately, it’s unclear how the two will accomplish it. Peer Mentoring/Incoming Students Looking back to freshman year, it would have been helpful to have someone show you the ins and outs of campus life. UNIV 189, the class required by all incoming students, does little in terms of helping freshmen with real student issues, like using the library’s online databases or mentoring on an individual basis. To make this process better, McDaniel & Fergel have proposed a peer mentoring system which pairs freshman with a junior or senior volunteer. Currently, the plan suggests this mentoring program to be a two-year
process. Two years seems longer than needed. The program could work just as well as a one-year mentorship. To strengthen the point further, young students should be paired with peers within their field of study. Knowing what to expect when coming to college and major-related specifics would be invaluable. Robert & Aaron also are looking to ease entry for new students. The two plan to revamp the orientation process for transfer students and those who are “underserved on campus.” They would also expand the Summer Leadership Institute, which provides incoming first-year students with a three-day opportunity to get better acquainted with campus by way of workshops and team games. In essence, the two wish to reshape incoming students’ first interactions
on campus; however, the kind of expansion in store for the Summer Leadership Institute is still a little unclear. Testing Changes Both parties are proposing test-taking outside of the classroom in testing centers on campus. Benefits include allowing students a bigger window of time to take an exam in case of excused or unexcused absences. McDaniel & Fergel mention this allows teachers more days in the classroom to teach. Robert & Aaron cite more flexibility for staff and students. While students may be in favor of taking tests on their own time, it is questionable how many staff members would be on board. The testing centers on campus are said to be a secure environment for test administration, but who will administer the centers? How
many will be on campus? Will the centers be able to accommodate students during midterms and finals? Will instructors have the option to use the testing centers or keep exams within the classroom? Also, instructors and professors are typically stern with their syllabus. The question is how many faculty members would be comfortable with students taking exams away from the classroom? Students could use a buddy system and have one take the test Monday and then tell their friend what to expect or what to study. It would be a tough pitch, but McDaniel & Fergel’s platform point states the University of Nebraska - Lincoln is implementing testing centers and “is seeing success.”

BLUE BELLE’S BURLESQUE | PHOTO COURTESY
North Dakota’s only all-female burlesque troupe takes to two stages Thursday and Friday for shows celebrating performer Sin Sear’s 21st birthday.
Local Burlesque Troupe Packs a Punch
Fire performing, pole artistry, twerking, ‘nerdlesque’ and more
Jack Dura A&E Editor
Fargo’s entertainment scene has blossomed and boomed in recent years, and one art new to the city offers outings Thursday and Friday. Blue Belle’s Burlesque hits the stages of Shotgun Sally’s and the Pickled Parrot’s Legacy Ballroom for two nights of entertainment ranging from pole artistry to a fire performance to classic burlesque style. The repertoire is full of eye-popping, eyecatching acts put on by women not afraid to make these moves. But make no mistake: It’s not stripping. “You’re going to see performance art, and you’re going to see people who have practiced for years and years doing what they love and celebrating themselves and their bodies,” Gennifer Christianson, Blue Belle’s Burlesque performer/promoter, said. “What’s not cool about that?” As fire performer Oopsie Daisy, Christianson stands among fellow burlesque artists such as Sin Sear, Ketel Wonder, Anytime Jones, Katya Peekin’ and latest addition Alli Lujah, making her debut Thursday. From Ketel Wonder’s pole artistry to Sin Sear’s “nerdlesque” style to Katya Peekin’s twerking, the performances offered by each of these women vary with different niches and talents. And while much of these performances are highly intimate and exotic, there are distinct differences between the styles of stripping and burlesque.
“A lot of people like to think that burlesque is classier, but I disagree,” Christianson said. “We’re all women. We’re not out to bash strippers ... That’s never our intention ... We don’t do burlesque for the money. Yes, it is a job when it comes to the business, but performing is what we like to do as a hobby.” With 15 years of experience among these six women, Blue Blue’s Burlesque is celebrating its first year with these two shows. Beyond providing a unique performance, the troupe donates proceeds to local organizations. This show’s W beneficiaries are 4 Luv of Dog, Cat’s Cradle and Diamond in the Ruff. “We’ve managed to put back thousands of dollars into the community,” Christianson said. “It’s really important for us to do that because of the community that supports us.” As North Dakota’s only all-female burlesque troupe, Blue Belle’s Burlesque is something “astounding to see,” Christianson added, saying audience and community reactions have bolstered the troupe as well accepted and supported in Fargo. Thursday and Friday’s shows are a chance to catch the women in their element onstage, arriving in style aboard Fargo Party Ride. With Sin Sear’s 21st birthday last Monday, the theme of the show is “Now You See Us, Now We’re Drunk,” marketed by Blue Belle’s as “the most professional shit show of a birthday party in Fargo,” Christianson said. “Essentially, we go onstage, we do something funny (or) kitschy ... and

I’m not going to be doing fire while I’m intoxicated.” Joining the women onstage are guest performers Fancy Feast, the brain behind “Now You See Us, Now We’re Drunk,” and Ophelia Flame, a highly lauded Minneapolis burlesque performer. Minneapolis drag queen Victoria DeVille hosts the show, which begins at 10 p.m. with open doors at 8 p.m. Guest artists are always fun to bring in, Christianson said, and seeing their reactions to burlesque in this community is part of what makes the troupe as magical as it is. “They’re always blown away by how they didn’t realize how awesome Fargo was,” she said.

Thursday: The Clothesline Project The Memorial Union Gallery’s latest show is only open for 11 days, and the Spring Recess knocks out a number of those days. Free for all, the gallery continues the Clothesline Project, a global effort to materialize the experiences of sexual and relationship assault, most notably against women. Stop by between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Friday: Blue Belle’s Burlesque performance The hometown burlesque troupe takes to the Legacy Ballroom above the Pickled Parrot in downtown Fargo for night two of its first annual show. Come see the stylings of Anytime Jones, Ketel Wonder, Sin Sear and others – all performers with a special talent all their own, from Oopsie Daisy’s fire performance to Ketel Wonder’s pole artistry. Tickets are $15. Check out Jack Dura’s preview of the two-night event to the left. Saturday: Paint some eggs Get artsy on your own and paint Easter eggs. They don’t have to be anything like Faberge’s masterpieces, but boil some water, string on an apron and get coloring. It’s Easter, for Pete’s sake. Sunday: Hide the eggs Take the eggs from Saturday’s night of artful fun and have a hunt. Children, family, pets, feral cats – it doesn’t matter; hide the eggs for someone to find. Who doesn’t love a good Easter egg hunt? Make sure you find them all though. Monday: Urban exploration For anyone in a city setting on Monday, get out and explore the urban scape. That’s how I found a certain staircase in a downtown hotel last year. Who knows what you’ll find in the basement of a building or above everyone’s heads. Old advertisements, false doors and windows, maybe even an old time capsule of Samuel Adams’. Hey, stranger things have been discovered. Try some #urbex for yourself. Tuesday: “Much of a Muchness” art piece Woodcut artist Lauren Rose Kinney is on showcase at downtown Fargo’s Plains Art Museum through mid-June with her “Much of a Muchness” art piece. The “monumental woodcut” is a classic example of the artist’s depictions of dreamy worlds and intimate environments. Admission to the museum is free for students. Tuesday hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Hotel Donaldson is filled with both hidden and obvious gems. Work from Jay Pfiefer, Mike Marth and Walter Piehl is only a fraction of the artists represented.

Solidifying Fargo’s Arts and Antiquity
Hotel honoring the past, preparing the future by celebrating local culture

The Hotel Donaldson’s iconic neon marquee hovers over Broadway, solidifying years of history and candor toward the arts and Fargo community. Most people only credit the location to the HoDo Lounge, a favorite stop for drinks and jaunty atmosphere, but beyond the lounge is a boutique-style hotel specializing in regional art. Owner Karen Stoker purchased the location in 2001 and worked with designers, architects and artists in producing her vision. Eleven rooms were repurposed and dedicated to specific artists. Pieces were commissioned from a variety of favorites including Dan Jones, Walter Piehl, Charles Beck, Gretchen Bederman and others. Design decisions – like specified furniture complimenting the artwork and locally sourced woodworking – all highlight the careful planning involved with the hotel. A variety of references to the Red River are hidden throughout the location. When it comes to the art, the rooms are permanently curated. Only Room 9 changes, as it offers hanging space and scholarships to artists working toward their master’s of fine arts. Conversely, the restaurant space’s work rotates on a three-month cycle. “It’s a collaborative (decision) among the leadership team and Karen,” Nancy Carriveau, the hotel’s organizational excellence manager, said of selected work. Art by Carl Oltvedt, a professor at
Minnesota State University Moorhead, occupies Room 6. Through his work, Oltvedt works to interpret and engage the space around him through marks on canvas and paper. He expressed his honor in having this permanently recognized by Stoker and the Hotel Donaldson. Stoker and her design team approached Oltvedt with commission ideas for his room. It became a collaborative process in honoring the space and the work. “There are examples of art boutique hotels in the U.S. and Europe … that don’t quite achieve what the hotel does,” Oltvedt said of the viewing format. “It’s engaged regional artists who continue to engage the area.” Oltvedt was keen to mention that his complimentary attitude toward Stoker and the Hotel Donaldson’s mission was not perceived as self-serving toward his career but rather as appreciative from both an artist and collector’s standpoint. “I love living with visual engagement around me,” he said. Besides the benefits to the art community and regular clients, the hotel offers regular tours to any curious art enthusiasts. “We absolutely encourage anyone to come in and do tours at anytime. We do a lot of tours with the colleges,” Carriveau said “ ... NDSCS, NDSU or MSUM (students) will request to do tours and then interviews with us.” In a location brimming with personality resulting from both its historical and artistic endeavors, the Hotel Donaldson is a local gem.

Boring Entertainment NDSU has gone the distance with nationally ranked teams
Colton Pool Sports Editor
I t ’ s easy to overlook a sport when it hasn’t played on campus all season. North Dakota State softball will probably be boring to watch when the team starts playing home games. I’m not saying that because NDSU is bad. To the contrary, the Bison (27-6, 5-1 Summit
League) have dominated a lot of teams this year. They’ve beaten teams on the road all across the country. They’ve beaten a nationally ranked opponent in No.18 Washington away from home. For crying out loud, the Bison have more games cancelled due to weather (seven) than losses (six). That’s either a clear-cut sign of really bad weather or a really good team. Probably a little bit of both. But if they’re so good, how can they be boring? Well a softball game isn’t quite as interesting in blowouts or when
a pitching staff shuts teams down. NDSU senior Krista Menke has been dominating from the circle as usual this year. The Nebraska native has pitched a 2.06 ERA over 146 innings in 24 appearances. She also leads the Summit League with 232 strikeouts and 18 wins this year. And unless you’re a fan of low-scoring games, Menke has made Bison games a little bit more boring with six shutouts during the year. She’s even started a game, come out, and then went back in to get both the save and the win.
Now that’s awfully entertaining. Maybe if you’re a true sports lover though, this kind of play is fun to watch. But this also leads me to think the Bison will only go as far as she takes them. NDSU has had dominant softball pitchers over the last few years who have carried – or at least fueled – their respective teams. This isn’t to say that the NDSU batting staff is weak. Amanda Grable has kept up a .452 batting average with 42 hits, 25 RBI along with a .634 slugging percentage. In 93 trips to the plate, Grable only struck out six times. Logan Moreland is close behind with a .410 hitting
percentage with 43 hits, 17 RBI and 30 runs scored. But this team has especially high expectations but not just within the conference like many midmajor schools. The Bison cruised through the Summit League tournament last year – a ride that was topped off with a 12-5 dismantling of Fort Wayne. NDSU took on No. 21-ranked Auburn in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament regional and won 5-2. Then the Bison took the No. 14 Minnesota Gophers to 10 innings but lost. Auburn got another shot at NDSU and won 1-0 to end NDSU’s season. Menke threw in all three of those games and gave up an average of about two
runs to nationally ranked competition. Considering a good portion of that roster came back this year, there’s no doubt Bison softball can compete with some of the best programs in the country. Of course, co-head coaches Darren Mueller and Jamie Trachsel will have the team narrowed in on the Summit League tournament first. A tournament, by the way, that is hosted in Fargo. If Menke keeps her game up and the Bison bats keep popping, this team could do some damage to the NCAA Tournament status quo and maybe give Bison fans some entertainment along the way.
The NDSU softball team is 27-6 with a 5-1 Summit League record. The Bison are also 6-0 against Big 10 teams, making them a dangerous team if they were to reach the NCAA Tournament.

Fresh-look Bison Defense Face Rare Uncertainties
Core unit of NDSU’s No.1 ranked defense has moved on
Sam Herder Spectrum Staff
F o r the first t i m e in four years, the next statement can be said without a chuckle following. The biggest question mark for the North Dakota State football team is the defense. The day is here. After years of luxury having players like Marcus Williams, Grant Olson, Cole Jirik, Ryan Drevlow, Colten Heagle, Christian Dudzik, Carlton Littlejohn, Travis Beck and Kyle Emanuel around the program, the core players of NDSU’s run of No. 1-ranked defenses have moved on in the last couple years. Now, a new flock of young talents get their chance to carry on
NDSU’s tradition of strong defense. Players like Nick DeLuca, Nate Tanguay, Brad Ambrosius, Greg Menard, Chris Board, Pierre Gee-Tucker and MJ Stumpf are the next men up. And as much as Bison fans may not like to think about it, the Bison defense might need time. For once, it might be the offense who is leaned on to carry NDSU. So far in spring football, head coach Chris Klieman said the offense is way ahead of the defense for the first time in years. The Bison’s only impactful loss on the offensive side is running back John Crockett, but at a school that breeds running back after running back, not much worry is put into the run game. Having six offensive linemen with starting experience also helps. And Carson Wentz will continue to sling the

ball around to sixth-year receiver Zach Vraa and second-year receiver RJ Urzendowski. No worries on that one either. But it’s the Bison defense having the question marks at every position besides cornerback and the interior defensive line. It’s almost weird to write. For the last couple years, we’ve seen these young guys fly around on special teams. For the last couple years, we’ve talked about who has the chance to step in and spell Littlejohn, Beck, Emanuel, Heagle and Dudzik on some snaps. But for the last couple years, we’ve seen the same core unit on the field game after game and basically play after play. Sure, Board led the Bison in special teams tackles last year and had a huge kickoff recovery in the FCS national championship game. But can he perform

Final Four Primer
All four teams remaining have storylines worth keeping up with
Taylor Kurth Staff Writer
Here we are. Y o u r bracket w a s busted. Yo u swore up and down this was the year Arizona head coach Sean Miller escaped the Elite Eight. You swore up and down Iowa State had all the momentum and Georges Niang was supposed to be unguardable. You swore up and down Gonzaga was overrated. You swore up and down each and every time a Big 12 team lost to an inferior opponent and turned your bracket into a spring bonfire. Four teams remain. Three No. 1 seeds and Tom Izzo. Here’s your Final Four primer.
Michigan State
Tom Izzo marches his
band of misfit toys into Indianapolis as a No. 7 seed. Despite losing back-to-back games against Minnesota and Wisconsin as the season winded down, the Spartans got their act together and propelled themselves into their seventh Final Four trip under Izzo. Make no mistake, you won’t find any AllAmericans or highly touted recruits leading Michigan State. Travis Trice is the senior in charge and his reinforcements are a 6-foot5 linebacker playing guard (Denzel Valentine), a sniper who wasn’t even on campus last year (Bryn Forbes) and a freshman guard who is named after smooth singer Lou Rawls and “tum tum” from the movie 3 Ninjas (Lourawls Nairn Jr.).
grind-it-out games. He is quick to point out Wisconsin led the tournament last year in points scored per game. As No. 1 seed, Wisconsin is playing in its second Final Four in as many years. The Badgers are determined not to allow Aaron Harrison crush the entire state’s collective psyche for the second straight year. This group is led by Frank “The Tank” Kaminsky – a 7-foot National Player of the Year candidate. His wing men are none other than the exuberant Nigel Hayes, who loves to test stenographers’ limits as well as admire their beauty. His other wing man is the nation’s best Robin since Joe Biden at the Presidential address this past winter, Sam Dekker. Dekker is a modern day Legolas. He’s busy loading up his magazine of dagger 3-pointers because he’s about to go to war – he’s 1327 from the great beyond in this tournament.
Wisconsin
Bo Ryan is tired of you talking about how Wisconsin can’t score and can only win low-scoring,
Duke
Coach Mike Krzyzewski brings in the alwaysthreatening Duke Blue Devils into Indianapolis despite an up-and-down year. There was that time they beat Wisconsin on ESPN. Then when they lost at home by 24 to Final Four of the NIT Miami. Then Coach K did something he has never done in 35 years; he dismissed junior guard Rsheed Sulaimon from the program. The next day they beat the No. 2 team in the country on the road. It has been a long season for the Blue Devils, but they’re here now. They are led by “Consensus but then he wasn’t the consensus No. 1 overall pick” Jahlil Okafor and his array of post moves. If Okafor doesn’t have it going, then look no further than to point guard Tyus Jones from Minnesota, who has turned heads all year.
Jones seems to pick the biggest moments to do his most damage. If those two don’t curb your enthusiasm, don’t fret because Duke has the Tasmanian Devil playing small forward. If Sam Dekker is the nation’s best Robin, then Justise Winslow is Bane turned good guy. Winslow has destroyed everything in his path this tournament by doing all that’s asked of him. Need a big rebound? Need a defensive stop? Need a fast break dunk? Need a gutcheck 3-pointer? Winslow is your man.
Kentucky
Coach John Calipari has his team 38-0. That’s pretty much all you need to know. After losing last year’s national championship to the University of Connecticut Huskies, the Kentucky Wildcats ran through the entire nation. Notre Dame played
as best as anybody as played Kentucky all year, and it still wasn’t enough. Kentucky’s bad games are still wins. This group is led by whichever McDonald’s All-American you see first. “Big KAT” KarlAnthony Towns is their most skilled player. He’s a relentless rebounder with a crafty offensive game and a nonstop defensive motor. Then there’s the Harrison twins. There hasn’t been a more polarizing set of twins since Mary Kate and Ashley left Full House. Shift your attention to Devin Booker. Admiring his shot is the equivalent to poetry in motion. Tyler Ulis is 5-foot9 and faster than a speeding bullet. This Kentucky team is as stacked as college has seen in a long time. For the Wildcats, 40-0 is the only acceptable result. They say there’s nothing better than March Madness, and “they” could be right. Let the madness ensue.
