The Big Event at NDSU gave students a chance to volunteer their time in the Fargo-Moorhead community.

NDSU’S Big Event Lends Big Help to Community

Big Event provides 1,000 volunteers to 100 Fargo-Moorhead non-profits on mass service day STORY BY TESSA BECK & PHOTOS BY BROOKLYN WILLIAMS

DSU’s largest day of service kicked off last Thursday with more than 1,000 volunteers putting in hours at various nonprofits in the FargoMoorhead area through NDSU’s Volunteer Network. The Big Event, while ambiguous in title, is clear in mission: “One big day, one big thanks.” Various time slots were available for sign up throughout the day — beginning in the morning and ending around 7 p.m. The halfday shifts and flexible scheduling options were just two of the ways event coordinators made an effort to accommodate students in order to increase numbers. Katie Worral, one of the event’s recruitment managers, said the planning went much deeper than just standard logistics. “All the members of the Volunteer Network helped put on The Big Event, and we each had different roles ... Many, many,

many hours and tons of work behind the scenes today and beforehand,” Worral said. Worral said the managers of the operation work in committees that recruit volunteers and match them with nonprofits. A considerable amount of work goes on behind the scenes the day of the event as well. She mentioned the planning is informal in the early stages and consists more of who will take over committee roles and what can be improved upon for future events. This year’s Big Event brought in more than 1,000 volunteers and brought assistance to more than 100 local nonprofits such as Churches United for the Homeless, Yunker Children’s Farm, Red River Zoo and many others. The Big Event has grown from having about 150-200 volunteers in 2009 when it was started, to more than 1,000 this year. A reason behind the increase in student participation is the work that goes into promoting The Big Event. As the largest event

for NDSU’s Volunteer Network, it is the recruitment committee’s duty to pull out all stops in order to spread the word. “We have a variety of marketing techniques,” Worral said. “I was in charge of recruitment, so I did a lot of speaking at meetings. “Otherwise, we have posters distributed on campus, mini ones left in mailboxes, (NDSU Residence Life) was contacted, stickers were on windows, Listservs. (It was) just a little bit of everything.” NDSU’s day of service a is not unique to the campus, but rather a nationwide event. “The Big Event is actually a national campaign; it started at Texas A&M. There were a group of students who knew they wanted to make a difference and say thank you to their community,” Worral said. Five years ago, students from NDSU went to a conference at Texas A&M and found out about it there, Worral added. The event provided students an opportu-

nity for giving back. NDSU students were not alone on Thursday. Fargo high school students involved in National Honor Society were invited to help out. Ellie Glasner, a Fargo Davies senior, gave positive feedback toward her volunteering experience, “It was a good event, and they let you do half days, so it was a good time period for volunteering,» Galsner said. «I did the morning session, but there was afternoon sessions so it was available for everyone to participate in some way.” Sophomore elementary education major Ashley Hallberg also took time to volunteer during The Big Event. “Our school advertises it a lot; that’s how I learned about it,» Hallberg said. «I wanted to get in some good volunteer hours, and it looks really good.» Ross Larson, a senior majoring in me-

New Institute to Put NDSU in Driver’s Seat of Food Security Research President Bresciani touts benefits of new program to SBHE Josh Francis

Co-News Editor

A new agricultural institute that will be established at NDSU is going to bring thousands of students to the school, University President Dean Bresciani told the State

Board of Higher Education on Thursday. The Global Institute of Food Security and International Agriculture won approval from the SBHE after Bresciani touted its potential to bring even more attention to NDSU and its research programs. According to the United States Department of Agriculture: “Food security means access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life.” A SBHE staff report said the new institute will “establish a system-based approach to food security as a program of study that would encompass adequate crop production

… maintain … safe food supply and lead to a healthier population.” Bresciani said this institute and the valuable research it will provide will rival the extensive research being done by NDSU, UND and other state partners on Unmanned Aerial Systems. “To say this is parallel with the UAS program that North Dakota is also hosting would be fair,” Bresciani said. “If not the chance for this to ultimately make the UAS comparison pale in comparison.” The report to the SBHE says that the institute will increase the number of students

to NDSU by up to 1,500 in the next five years and 2,000 in seven years. Bresciani said the program will attract some of the best and brightest graduate students from around the world. NDSU hired a specialist in the food safety and security field, Dr. Kalidas Shetty, who has been leading research to establish the need for this institute for the last two years, according to the report. The new institute will provide Shetty with 10 personnel and three large labs. “NDSU through GIFSIA has the poten-

The Inside Scoop on NDSU Dining Centers Many behind-thescenes happenings ensure success

Unlimited, seven-day plans 2013-14’ school year

SDSU NDSU

Benjamin Norman Staff Writer

From feeding first-year students with their unlimited meal plans to serving Baby Bison on a Discovery tour, NDSU dining centers keep the stoves hot. During operating hours, the three dining centers on campus feed the masses, offering unlimited amounts of food and beverage to the paying student. Much takes place behind the scenes to ensure the smooth operation of centers on a daily basis. In the offices “They are the same, yet different,” director of dining services Darren Peterson said of university dining services, which operates the dining centers. Peterson, who previously worked for the University of South Dakota and Gonzaga University’s dining services, was selected in March as the new director of dining services at NDSU. He officially started at NDSU on April 7. Peterson is well versed in how the operations work. “We are here to provide for the students,” Peterson said. “Not only by feeding them, but by providing educational opportunities, as well.” Peterson cites the presence of nutritional labels, a campus nutritionist and work experience as just a few of the ways dining services offer an education. “We should ask ourselves, ‘How can we improve tomorrow?’ after every day,” Peterson said. In all, NDSU dining services employs around 150 faculty members and 250 student workers. The price to pay This year, a student who purchased a seven-day, unlimited meal plan spent $1,898. Prices are set to rise 3 percent next year to $1,955 to accommodate for many factors. Compared with area universities, NDSU’s prices are competitive. Although a

quick compare, each school offers different services and plans that should be taken into account when putting prices side-by-side. Other plans, such as block plans and commuter lunch programs are offered as well. Variables that are considered when meal plan prices are set include number of meal plans sold, cost of operation, inflation and, perhaps surprisingly, the amount of dining center items stolen. “That’s a problem not solely unique to here,” Peterson said. The reason for the strict rules that prohibit students from taking food or beverages out from the dining centers is that of a slippery slope. “A couple pieces of fruit a day might become a bag, eventually,” Peterson said. Across the nation, these regulations are standard. On the front lines Mary Sinner, associate director of dining services, has worked as a dining service employee for 13 years. While renovations and restorations have occurred throughout the years in the dining centers, one of the most notable changes Sinner has seen are the requests for more diverse foods and healthier options. “We aren’t just serving casseroles and hot dishes anymore,” Sinner said. NDSU compliance reports show the university has grown its ethnic diversity by 6 percent in the past five years. Some international students are required to work while studying at NDSU, and many of them choose to work at the dining centers. Although a push for diverse and healthy

food is more present than ever, the most popular meals served up, Sinner said, are the burger and hot dog bars. Macaroni and cheese is a favorite side dish. As for dessert, Oreo salad. Sinner takes pride in claiming that recipe as her own. “Six years ago, I brought the Oreo salad recipe to the table, and it has just taken off,” Sinner said. She chose to keep the recipe a secret from The Spectrum, but its popularity is reaching new heights. Sinner recently started packaging Oreo salad in to-go cups at coffee shops, selling them to students who lack access to dining centers anymore. Students who have access to dining centers include the student worker army. Josie Smude, a sophomore majoring in exercise science, has been an employee of the dining centers since October. “I don’t have a car, and since it’s on campus, it’s super convenient,” Sumde said of her job in student dining. Although the blue-collar work can be tedious, Smude said her newly-made friends make it worthwhile. Amenities Along with the buffet lines, NDSU’s dining centers offer unique services specialized to particular centers. At the Residence Dining Center, the Bison Beanery opened at the start of fall semester. The in-house coffee shop offers unlimited beverages to those who have paid for a meal. Retail coffee is offered through a walkby window where one can purchase a beverage.

Dining center employee Cynthia Herfindahl has worked at NDSU for around four years and has spent much of her time this year whipping up white mochas and brewing coffee. The beanery has been ingrained into people’s morning routines. “I’ll see the regulars coming up,” Herfindahl said, “And I’ll start on their drinks.” Across Albrecht Boulevard, the West Dining Center has its pizza parlor, which is in nearing its fifth year of existence. The unanimous vote for student’s favorite pies, according to staff, is cheese, which is served daily, and pepperoni. Future plans Although the Union Dining Center lacks a coffee shop and pizza parlor, future plans might lead to additional amenities at the Union, too. Though it is still in the planning stages with no exact dates set, staff members hope one day to expand the Union’s area by annexing the adjacent bathrooms and converting them into additional seating. Sinner thought that perhaps a healthy, fresh bar could be installed, offering chopped salads and smoothies to students. Other possible plans for dining centers on campus include a barrier for students braving the elements and waiting for their beverages at the beanery and kitchen remodeling at the RDC. Renovations happening now include a handicap-accessible grill being installed at the RDC. This project is projected to be completed next fall.

Arbor Day Festivities Postponed

Poor weather and ground conditions delay on-campus tree planting Adam Farhat Staff Writer

Due to the poor weather along with hard ground conditions, an Arbor Day tree planting event at NDSU was postponed. “We had originally intended on having the tree planted on Arbor Day, but we were delayed due to ground conditions and approval from the grounds crew,” said Keith Lehman, Reed-Johnson Hall government president. “We plan on having the trees in the ground by the time dead week rolls around, so keep your eye out for them.” While Lehman said community members were looking forward to planting trees, missing the date is not a reason to ignore the movement. “I will definitely be out planting some trees as soon

as the ground is ready and the weather stays nice,” said Josh Smith, a freshman construction management major and a resident of Johnson Hall. “Just because Fargo weather made us miss the date doesn’t mean that I’m not going to be out planting trees as soon as I can. “I’m not a tree planting fanatic, but I do think it is important to help our environment and keep the air that we breathe clean,” he added. Smith said Arbor Day is an important day that takes environmental precedence. “To me, the idea of Arbor Day sums up what we are all about here in North Dakota … Although, we may not be around to enjoy the shade and beauty of the trees, we can rest easy knowing that future generations of NDSU students will benefit from the trees,” Lehman said. “I guess the concept of Arbor Day can be applied to most any aspect of your own life. “Doing something that will hardly benefit yourself, but will certainly benefit people of the future is one

of the most selfless things you could ever do.” The problem with this solution, Lehman said, is the fact that the process of growing a tree takes a very long time. “There are a lot of reasons that people should value Arbor Day,” Lehman said. “In the United States, we are still recovering from the deforestation of the 19th and 20th centuries. It may take a tree up to an entire century to fully grow, and it can take just a few minutes to cut it down.” Trees serve much more than positive environmental progress, Lehman said, which is a reason the community should value Arbor Day. “There have been a lot of neat studies on the benefits of trees, too. It is shown that neighborhoods with more trees have less violence, and having more trees equates to cleaner air,” Lehman said. “If someone doesn›t see the benefit in planting trees, he or she can at least appreciate the fact that trees block wind.”

The Enchantment of Chimney No. 2 Campus’ tallest structure has seen a lot in 80+ years

STORY BY JACK DURA & PHOTO BY MATAYA ARMSTRONG

s the tallest structure on the North Dakota State University campus, Chimney No. 2 is often a sight for speculation, photography and could be called a campus landmark. Looming above Minard Hall at 160 feet tall, this chimney’s role in the everyday operations of the NDSU Heating Plant is a hefty one. Working 24/7/365, the Heating Plant generates and delivers high-pressure steam to serve for heating, cooling, cooking and other operations on NDSU’s campus. The four boilers (two coal-fired, two natural gas) between the two chimneys near Minard Hall heat water and produce the steam required for campus heating and cooling operations. Chimney No. 2 is connected to one natural gas boiler and the two coal-fired boilers, and its role in operations is to emit the byproducts of its boilers’ combustion. “Out of a boiler, you’re controlling [the remnants of the fire] to the confines of a boiler, and then you have a fan that actually pulls it out of the … boiler and it puts it into the chimney, and then it goes up through the chimney. So you’re controlling the byproducts of your combustion,” director of Facilities Management Michael Ellingson said. Installed in 1932, Chimney No. 2 originally stood at 175 feet tall and was later reduced to its present height of 160 feet. Its base diameter measures 15 feet with its top being eight feet in diameter. Looking up the south side of the chimney, a number of rungs can be seen lining the way to the top, but many rungs are missing be-

low a certain height. The reason for this removal is purely for safety’s sake. “We don’t want anybody crawling up there for a joy or anything else, so those are removed, and you have to go out of your way to try to get up there,” Ellingson said. In 2012, a new cap was put on the top of Chimney No. 2, and four metal bands were installed to combat erosion due to moisture on the mortar of the chimney’s brick. In 1997, wire mesh and a refractory material were installed at the top of the chimney on the inside to aid in withstanding the wear of byproducts passing up the chimney. Chimney No. 2’s height is notable in that it aids in drawing up its boilers’ byproducts to be released. According to Ellingson, the taller the chimney, the better the natural convection of byproducts — in theory. “As you have a fan that pulls the gasses out of the boiler and puts them into the chimney, the taller the chimney, the less horsepower you need for a fan,” Ellingson. “If you’ve ever been around a campfire, the higher you have a chimney, the more it has a tendency to draw out.” States’ requirements on chimneys as far as how high they can be do put a limit on this convection factor. Ellingson himself knows of a plant in South Dakota with a 498-foot chimney, just two feet shy of the 500-foot limitation. At 160 feet, Chimney No. 2 isn’t the tallest chimney around, but for NDSU, it’s our tallest structure and has served its purpose well in its 82-year history.

Chimney No. 2 looms above Minard Hall at 160 feet tall.

Five Years of a Fraternity’s Feeds

Sigma Nu supports the Red River Zoo with feeds of French toast Connor Dunn Features Editor

With some syrup, juice and an “underrated” breakfast item, the men of Sigma Nu will feed a campus and a cause with their fifth annual French toast feed on April 28th. The feed, which runs from 4-7 p.m. at the University Lutheran Center, is the latest event in a newly forming tradition for NDSU’s Eta Theta chapter of Sigma Nu. “Part of being a fraternity in Greek life is getting involved in service and philanthropy,” said Ryan Justak, a senior and the chapter’s community service chairman. “A few years back, we were struggling to find an idea of what our chapter of Sigma Nu should do. Our basketball tournament wasn’t really working the way we hoped, so one of the previous house members came up with what we have now: the French toast feed.” In 2010, Sigma Nu hosted their first ever French toast feed with all of the money do-

nated to one of their national philanthropies, St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. French toast was chosen as the main dish because it is quick to make and something different from the usual pancake feed. Two years later, the fraternity switched to more of a local cause, and according to sophomore Aaron Schaefer, the philanthropy chair, the chapter could not be more satisfied with their decision. “We decided to try and keep it more local with our support, which is when we found the non-profit Red River Zoo, and we’ve had a great relationship with the zoo ever since,” Schaefer said. “It’s part of building the sense of community and togetherness between the Fargo-Moorhead area and our fraternity.” The feed’s proceeds directly support the zoo’s Junior Zookeeper Program, which provides kids hands-on experience with the animals and teaches them responsibility and the basics of zookeeping. The program does have a fee; so any money from the event is used to fund scholarships for kids from economically challenged families. “After the kids from the Junior Zookeeper Program leave at the end of summer, all of the workers at the zoo miss them because they realize these kids actually do a lot (of)

work, and they loved to work with them and the animals,” Schaefer said. “Over the last five years, we have and hopefully will continue to support animal education at the Red River Zoo, which relies heavily on donations from the community,” Justak said. “We want to keep building that tie with the zoo and bring what the zoo has to offer to the students of NDSU and the Fargo-Moorhead community.” Last year’s event drew in over $1,100, making it the most successful event in its short history. However, the men of Sigma Nu are reaching even higher for this year’s feed with a goal of $1,500, and they have some enticing incentives to go along with the “underrated” French toast. “We are going to have our second ever French toast eating contest with last year’s being the first trial run,” Schaefer said. “The new and improved competition will include three pieces of French toast, a glass of juice and a cup of applesauce. Whoever can eat it the faster wins of course. We’ve got a nice gift basket from the Red River Zoo and a gift card to Applebee’s for our top two finishers.” According to Schaefer, there will also be a live animal at the event brought in by the Red River Zoo.

“By opening our event up to the campus, we want people to see there is nonprofit organization that needs assistance not just from our fraternity, but everyone that can help support the cause in any way,” Justak said. Schaefer echoed the message: “Please come out if you can to eat some really good food and support a great organization!”

behind the FABO fashion show Last week was the annual FABO fashion show, and anyone who went saw lovely models and beautiful clothing. However, many people don’t know what happens behind the runway. The Fashion Apparel Business Organization puts on the event each year, electing four chairs to coordinate the show. Under these coordinators, groups are created to organize different elements of the show including: stores and models, hair and makeup, slideshow, set design and many more things. All these elements come together in the end to create the show you see. The amount of teamwork and planning necessary to make everything run smoothly is a great accomplishment. Another wonderful part about the fashion show is the student designs. I have talked in a previous article about how we have several levels of sewing classes available at NDSU. These classes worked hard all semester to show off their designs at the show. Some were from pattern making classes, and some were from the upper level classes. The students put their heart and soul into each garment and spend hours of time working on them. Many of the designers wore their own garments and used other models to show off more of their work.

Justine Liza Pulec modeled for Kelsy Hewitt’s design, a black tutu and beaded crop top.

Included in the designs were several wedding dresses, couture work, repurposed items and handmade gowns. All of it was beautiful and showed off each designer’s personal style. With both stores and student designs

Anyone can pick up a duck call and make a noise through it. However, it takes a skilled person to perfect the call. As any waterfowl enthusiast knows, calling ducks is an art. You have to know what type of call to use for certain ducks and how to use the perfect pitch to attract the ducks. Once

The Art of Duck Calling

spring, I go to a pond and set up a decoy spread and start calling. This allows me to see what I need to improve on when calling, along with what decoy spreads work best. Yes, some things will change a little from the spring to the fall, but they will just be minor and easy to adjust to. There are many calls that ducks can make. The two that every hunter should have mastered are the basic

quack and the greeting call. The basic quack is the easiest to learn because it is just a few short breaths of saying “quack quack quack” through the call. Make sure you put emphasis on the “CK” part of the call because that will make it sound crisp like a real duck. The basic quack is used primarily to have circling ducks come in closer and set their wings. This will help increase the chances of bag-

ging the ducks. Now for the greeting call, which is used to get the attention of ducks in the distance. I have had issues with this call, but according to Ducks Unlimited, the sound that you should make when blowing into the call is a “Kanc, Kanc, Kanc, Kanc, Kanc” sound. When calling this call, start off strong and continue to go strong throughout the call. There are many more

calls

should know. After my few years of hunting and reading about calling, these are the most vital ones to master. No one wants to scare ducks away or sound like a goof out in the duck blind. Start practicing as soon as possible to conquer the art of duck calling for this upcoming season.

Percussion Ensembles to Provide an Evening of Entertainment Two NDSU percussion groups perform number of original compositions Callie Bowen

Contributing Writer

On the evening of Tuesday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m., music enthusiasts (particularly those interested in percussion) will have the opportunity to pamper their ears with the many soothing sounds of NDSU’s most promising percussionists. Two different groups of percussionists will showcase all of their hard work at the upcoming concert. Both groups, which are composed of a plethora of undergraduate students and a doctoral student, have been preparing various musical selections for a great deal of this spring semester for the listening pleasure of the audience. “Only three of us are students in the percussion studio,” four-year participant in the percussion ensemble Matt Fornshell noted, “The others are involved by association, especially through drumline through fall marching band.” A number of pieces comprise the set list

for the percussion ensemble, with a variation of instruments used for each selection. An arrangement entitled “Strange Loops” will be performed by a percussion quintet, while the composition “Layers” features various percussion instruments. A marimba trio will also grace the audience with the musical delight, “Chasing the Caribou,” and Dr. Sigurd Johnson, percussion professor and director of the Gold Star Marching Band, will be showing off his talent on the vibes while performing a solo in doctoral student Nick Meyers’ original composition, “Dreams Come and Go,” along with various other instrumental accompaniment. Quite an assortment of instruments will be played during this concert, which will undoubtedly keep the audience entertained throughout the entirety of the performance. “Marimba, vibraphone, drum set, plenty of cymbals, toms, gongs, bongos, you name it,” stated Meyers. “The Winterline uses all of the marching percussion, along with the frontline instruments. It’s pretty much everything.” The percussion ensemble will also be joined in this performance by the Winterline percussion group, which is another assembly of NDSU students who meet during the spring semester to practice and perform various instrumental pieces, all of which happen to be original compositions, at a number of

venues. Meyers, along with music education major Elias Youngblom, composed the pieces that the Winterline percussion group has previously performed on various occasions throughout this semester. They began composing before the start of the spring semester. Youngblom elaborated on the background of their compositions. “The songs we wrote are just intended to be a fun set of pieces. It’s formatted very much like a marching band show. The idea behind it is a day in the life of a construction worker, and the three movements are each a different style of music. I wrote the drum parts and Nick wrote all of the mallet parts. We’ve worked together on a few things for marching band before, so we decided to work together on this as well, and it turned out pretty well.” Winterline was the opening act for the Blue Key’s 2014 “Despicable Brevs” program earlier this month, as well as at a Lidgerwood High School basketball tournament, which was highly enjoyed by the audience. They also performed for the Alexandria High School drumline and color guard at the beginning of April. Undergraduate students of various majors and ages compose this group, making it quite diverse. From first-year freshman to

experienced professors, this group showcases a variety of talents. There are not only instrumental education majors — as one might expect — but other majors are represented as well, including accounting and women and gender studies. The opportunity to enjoy many one-ofa-kind, original compositions is only one of the many features that the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy. The Winterline will also be decked out in construction gear for the audience’s viewing pleasure. To top it all off, the event is completely free of charge. When asked why people should attend this recital, Fornshell simply replied, “Percussion ensemble rules!”

‘Claybourne Park’ Keeps Theatre B Unique Paul McCartney Brings ‘Out There’ to Fargo Social tensions spring alive in engaging comedy Jack Dura A&E Editor

Theatre B has struck gold again. Capping off its 11th season, the downtown, brickfront theater ends with “Clybourne Park,” a Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning play from 2010. Set in the same house in a Chicago neighborhood in 1959 and then 50 years later, “Clybourne Park” tackles the issue of social tension, specifically racial and community. When a black family is set to move into the all-white neighborhood following one family’s move, a few neighbors take it into their own hands to try and prevent the predicted deterioration of their property values. But married couple Russ and Bev don’t want to stay. Angry at the neighborhood that refused and disowned his Korean War veteran son, Russ sees their exit from the street as perfectly fitting. His neighbor Karl and their parish priest try to assure them to stay, but Russ and Bev depart, for better or worse, but not before leaving a mark of their presence upon the property. A verbal battle between the neighbors and residents arcs to the end of Act One, essentially sparking the start of the end of an era for Clybourne Park. Fifty years later in 2009, the house has suffered abuse and neglect, and a white couple now wants to move in and rebuild

the place from the ground up. This is met with bitterness from the present owners of the house — a black couple who worries about placing their home’s historical value in the hands of two people who have different ideas about the house. This friction strikes a debate between the two couples and their go-betweens that disintegrates from questions about reality terminology to the house’s true value to, finally, the raw issue of racism. Pleasantries between the two parties are soon tossed out the window, erupting in an argument that covers just about everything that could be said about race and racism. It is here in this explosive argument that not only are viewers presented with real-life, engaging subject matter, but tastes of comedy, cusswords, racial “jokes” and numerous bridges between the two acts of “Clybourne Park.” While the entire cast is laudable and in fine form in a show that sees double casting over its two acts, Scott Horvik and Pam Strait rise above the rest in excellently portraying the play’s most pained characters. As Russ and Bev, this pair each deal with their respective and shared struggles. Bev is beleaguered by her changed husband and uncertainty about their future. Of Strait’s two roles in this show, her introspective mother of Act One is more likable than her babbling lawyer of Act Two. Strait’s eyes are like two glass globes about to break as Bev thinks on her son’s suicide and husband’s despair, trying all she can to fix what appears broken. Horvik’s Russ is a hardened husband who

Former Beatle offers all corners of catalog in concert repertoire Jack Dura A&E Editor

For over 50 years, musician Paul McCartney has captured the ears and admiration of listeners the world over. As a member of The Beatles, Wings and as a solo artist, McCartney has culled an extensive catalog of music during his decades in the business. Since May 2013, the 71-year-old singer has hit over 25 cities on his Out There world tour, from Memphis, Tenn., to Osaka, Japan, to Montevideo, Uruguay. Last week, several more dates on the Out There tour were announced, one of them being Fargo, N.D. Playing the Fargodome on Saturday, July 12, McCartney’s tour will bring not only his entourage and repertoire to town, but throngs of fans from across the Midwest. Fargodome and Fargo city officials are already predicting packed hotels, busy restaurants and an all-around inundation of visitors. Seating for 17,000+ is expected for the show, which is safely assumed to be lengthy, as McCartney will offer up all corners of his career. His concert set list has remained mainly the same for each of his shows so far, with around 30 songs before returning for an encore (and sometimes two encores) anywhere from three to eight songs. The classic Beatles fare is there (“Hey Jude,” “Back in the U.S.S.R.,” “Let It Be”) as well as some hits

from Wings (“Let Me Roll It,” “Band on the Run”), the band McCartney started in 1971 with wife Linda and three other musicians. Many songs from McCartney’s solo repertoire are also on the roster with “Out There” too, such as “My Valentine,” “Maybe I’m Amazed” and “Queenie Eye,” the latter of which McCartney performed with fellow former-Beatle Ringo Starr at the 2014 Grammy Awards. The former Beatle’s visit to the Upper Midwest also touches Minneapolis, Minn., on August 2, and Chicago, Ill., and Kansas City, Mo., have tour stops scheduled for mid-July. Ticket prices for “Out There” range greatly, from $25 to $251.50. For the Fargodome visit, tickets go on sale on Monday, April 28 at 10 a.m., and will be available for purchase at the Fargodome box office, www.inforumtix.com and by phone at 855-694-6367. The Fargodome has hosted many bigname tour stops this year. From mid-January to late-February, the venue saw performances from Pink, Lady Antebellum, Justin Timberlake, TobyMac and Luke Bryan. Paul McCartney is not the only upcoming A-lister on the Fargodome schedule either. Katy Perry will drop in on Saturday, August 23, for an already sold-out show, and Mötley Crüe comes along on Sunday, November 16, with guest Alice Cooper. McCartney’s concert is just another feather in the cap of the Fargodome, a venue that has had its share of A1 acts in its 22year history. For now, fans can purchase their tickets and tick off the days until McCartney’s arrival for a show that will no doubt go down in history for the Fargodome.

MSUM Theatre Caps Eclectic Season with ‘Carrie’

Jack Dura A&E Editor

It has certainly been an exciting season for MSUM Theatre. The college company has thus far seen “The Laramie Project” and “Almost, Maine” brought to life on its Gaede Stage; a story of a real-life tragedy and a collection of adorable tales of true love. What could be better for this seemingly themeless season than capping off and wrapping up with author Stephen King’s famous horror tragedy “Carrie?” Aiming to bring the wid-

est range of offerings to its audiences and performers, MSUM Theatre selected “Carrie” to fulfill this mission. “Carrie” has been adapted from its pages for screen and stage in the past, and its theatrical history is intriguing. Originating onstage as a Broadway musical by Michael Gore in 1988, “Carrie” tanked as one of the most disastrous flops in theatre history. Its 2012 Off-Broadway revival, however, resurged with much success, and with a few film versions and other adaptations, MSUM Theatre has a mission in mind with how they interpret this production. “What is important for us to do is to stay true to the author’s intent — we’re speaking now about the author of the musical,” director Craig

Ellingson said. “There are some differences in characterization and things between all of the pieces.” Remaining faithful to the primary relationship between Carrie and her mother Margaret is a strong focal point of this production, as well as Carrie’s interactions with her peers and the world. Possessing powers of telekinesis, Carrie takes revenge upon her ragingly religious mother and cruel classmates after being humiliated at her high school prom. Presented in the format of a musical, “Carrie” has some creativity in its catalog that Ellingson describes as beautiful and plot-progressive. However, he does admit that it is hardly anything to hum, but the styles of music showcased range greatly. “(T)here’s kind of a rock feel to things at times, especially from the kids’ perspective,” Ellingson explained. “The mother is in this kind of opera/classical world, and then some of the other pieces are going to be kind of standard musical theatre fare.” Opening the show is

seeks tangible payment for the people who pushed his son over the edge. Bottling everything up and exploding with near-dangerous results, Russ is the opposite of his worrisome wife, and his anger at the world is made all the more real with Horvik’s interpretation of this character.

“In,” a number that finds “Carrie’s” high school characters trying to find a way to fit in. They do this through their cruel treatment of Carrie, from ridiculing and humiliating her in the locker room to pouring pigs’ blood on her at the prom. Ellingson points to this song as one of teenage angst, as even the popular characters search for a place to belong. Collaborating with engineering and physics students

has helped bring another aspect of the story alive, and that is special effects. Blood and pyrotechnics are some primary special effects utilized here, but other aspects are harder to portray, such as Carrie’s telekinesis. MSUM Theatre has been hard at work to achieve all aspects of the original musical “Carrie” for its production. “We’re … doing a lot of different things in order to create this kind of out-of-

the-ordinary world, if you will,” Ellingson said. “Carrie” is presented at 7:30 p.m. from April 30 to May 3 at MSUM’s Gaede Stage. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and alumni and $10 for nonMSUM students and are available at the box office and by phone at 218-4772271. Viewers may attend the May 2 performance in prom apparel for discounted tickets.

It may also be fair to note the fact that Theatre B has outgrown its stage, at least with shows of this size. Eight in a cast may not seem like much, but in the intimate atmosphere of this theater, less is more. The set extends into an aisle of the seating and even the back hallway and backrooms of the theater. Does this hamper the quality of the show, howev-

er? It’s hard to say, but this is an area that needs attention if shows of similar size are to continue at Theatre B. “Clybourne Park” rises above its cramped staging, however, and with a new season and summer preview event on the way, Theatre B has established itself as a reliable source of enjoyment and engagement in our community. “Clybourne Park” at

Theatre B at 716 Main Ave. continues its run until May 17 with 7:30 p.m. performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a 2 p.m. matinee on May 4. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $10 for students and $5 for students on Thursdays, and are available at the box office and by phone at 701-729-8880.

Put Down the Phone and Step Away Slowly

People need to unglue themselves from their phones Caleb Werness Opinion Editor

The other night, I went out to eat with my best friend. It was later in the evening and neither of us had eaten much that day. We sat down to start eating

and began conversing about our days. In the middle of our conversation, he pulls out his phone. From then on it felt like he was only half listening to what I was saying. Needless to say the whole ordeal upset me. After that evening, I began to really see how we as culture and a generation are much too attached to our phones. The advances of technology have allowed our phones to access Internet, send texts, watch videos, take pictures, play games and the list goes on. Just because our phones have “everything” nowadays, it does not mean we have to always have our phones out. Especially when conversing with other people or hanging out with friends. Plain and simple, it is

rude. I feel like our generation and the one after us have been harmed by being brought up in a technologically sophisticated environment. Just based on everyday observation, I feel there is an evident argument to be made about how we somewhat lack communication skills and etiquette. It is not a bad thing to take some time off of the grid. There are many other things to be done rather than constantly needing to check the latest Twitter or Facebook posts. You don’t have to always “be in the loop.” Cell phones were meant to be a tool for communication, not tools that hinder communication. Don’t get me wrong, I do text

The Extinction of College Dating An unfortunately morphed social norm Keelia Moeller Staff Writer

Growing up, it always seemed that college would be the place where everybody bragged about how wonderful their date last night was, how much they got to know that special someone and how they are looking forward to the many dates to come. Unfortunately, however, date nights and roses seem to have morphed into one-night stands, texting and the occasional run to Taco Bell or the nearest McDonald’s. Understandably, the typical college student does not have much extra pocket change to spend at five-star restaurants and formal wear for such occasions, but the whole ‘dating thing’ is beginning to go extinct on the college campus. I am fortunate enough to be in a wonderful relationship where we make a point to spend genuine time together, talk rather than text and go out on the occasional: “Get dressed up and look your best date.” These are some of the nights I look forward to most, and one of the many reasons we are so genuinely happy together. I am saddened that so many students my age do not get the chance to experience such a thing. Instead of planning a beautiful date night, students are staying inside wondering if they should send a text reading “Hey,” or “Heyyyy,” or maybe even a “What’s up?” if

they are feeling daring. Texting is, of course, a convenient thing to have in this technologically advancing society. However, it is not a substitute for an actual conversation. One cannot decide compatibility with another person through merely texting. Getting to know one another requires nights that are, hopefully, filled with laughter and excitement. The “I got so drunk last night” stories which end in an unintentional hook-up have seem to be a commonality. This situation leaves both students deciding if they have a “thing” or if it was just a meaningless incident that should be immediately forgotten. So I am left to wonder, what ever happened to dating? A successful college relationship should not begin this way, through texting and accidental party hook-ups. All students should remember to respect themselves enough to create a relationship with a special someone by making legitimate (and intentional) plans to begin their romance. Instead of working up the courage to send a “Hey” with more than one “Y” in it, make the choice to call them up and ask them out. Believe me, date nights are a wonderful thing that should still be considered an important part of any relationship. They allow opportunity for genuine characteristics to show. They create the opportunity for a real connection to blossom, and they are always something that can be looked forward to. Just because you are in college does not mean you do not deserve a well-planned, classy night out with someone special. Forget the texting stress and the onenight stands. If you want a chance at real happiness, all it takes is six words: “Will you go out with me?”

and like to check my Twitter and Facebook but, like all things, there is a time and a place. Texting is not, nor ever will be, a substitute for real face-to-face conversation. Real relationships are built on person-to-person interaction. Not taking out your phone when having a conversation should be common sense, but it apparently is not. Life doesn’t happen on a handheld LED screen, life happens in front and around you. Remember that when you are having a conversation with someone to keep the phone in the pocket; it is a simple courtesy.

Real World E-Value-ation Are we really learning in college? Shaurya Chawla

Contributing Writer

We all join colleges and universities to obtain a professional graduate degree in a particular field. Professors assign grades in the courses and the students performances are evaluated. But what knowledge and skills are we learning in exchange for the high tuition we pay? This question just arose in my mind when I was preparing for a technical interview for a full-time opportunity a few weeks ago. I realized that the school courses never really taught us what the companies expect from us. Although the courses offered in college provide a base for knowing the theoretical concepts of a particular field, it is just not enough. More than 1,000 students graduate every year from a college, but almost one-fourth of them only get job offers in their respective fields. No reason to blame anyone as it may be due to the areas in which students are lacking, or the universities are at fault. Recently, I came across an article in the education section of The Economist, “Higher education: Is college worth it?” One line in this article blew me away — too many college degrees are a waste of money. Also, colleges are just meant for providing a professional degree for your majors. Is it really true? I am not sure whether it is true or not. But it puts me in a dilemma and contradicts my views that “Colleges are not just meant

for imparting education.” However, the article forged visions in my mind that colleges aren’t necessary for everyone. I believe that college is not only a source of providing technical learning, but it makes us learn some other aspects of life, too. PayScale, a research firm, gathered data of the graduates from more than 900 US universities and colleges. They asked them what they studied and how much they earn. The firm also compared the graduates’ earning with those who have never been to college. According to their study, in some cases the graduate earnings reflects that they are more productive and intelligent than nongraduates. But, there are numerous nongraduates who are performing much better than the graduates as well. Overall, it clearly depicts that the cost of obtaining a degree from college has tremendously increased in many US universities, no matter if the student is actually gaining something or not. But student’s debt has grown so large in achieving that degree. A year ago, President Obama proposed several measures for ensuring low college tuition and good quality education. And still there are many issues prevailing, regarding the US higher education and tuition offered by the universities and colleges. In my opinion, if unable to lower the college tuition, at least they should assure the students with relevant learning. So, being students of a state university, what do you feel about the aforementioned issue? Shaurya is a senior majoring in computer engineering and minoring in computer science.

Last year when I turned 20, I didn’t gracefully glide from my awkward teenage years into a mature, well-rounded adult. Oh no — I unwillingly tumbled through the doorway, clinging onto everything I could as time dragged me in. A small, irrational part of me expected to wake up on January 17th and crave black coffee, be interested in politics and have a strong opinion about “the youth of today.” My days of being young and allowed to make mistakes were going to be over. It was time to grow up. And as someone who belts out Disney songs every day in the shower and has a folder on my MacBook Pro labeled “cute puppies,” that was a terrifying concept. As the glow of Christmas faded and as the dreaded calendar date approached, I panicked. I couldn’t sleep. I stayed up worrying. Yes, I was in college, but I was still unsure what I wanted to do with my life. And since I was going to be in my twenties, I had to figure everything out, like, now. I watched online X-Factor auditions online and ate chocolate ice cream from the carton as I witnessed 14-year-olds start achieving

their dreams. How unfair was it that they knew what they wanted and at nineteen, I still couldn’t successfully use a curling iron? And whatever I decided to do had to be something that was going to mean something. I felt like I had to change the world, and I was running out of time. I’d already missed the chance to be the youngest author ever or any of the other things I used to think I could do. I don’t think anyone wants to die and be completely forgotten. Everyone wants to be remembered for something. And, even though it might sound like it, that’s not an irrational feeling. It’s part of being human. We all want to matter. Why be on this earth for 90 years if you’re not going to leave it better than when you arrived? Why not leave some sort of mark? I’m not sure if you’ve tried it, but you can’t plan out your entire life in one month. Especially if you’ve decided you need some epic master plan to live up to. One of my roommates began to see how frantic I was as I felt I was failing this self-appointed mission. “I know you want to be famous and be successful,” she told me, “but even if you haven’t made a difference to the whole world, you’ve made a difference in my life. Even if no one else knows you, I knew you.” Her words really resonated with me. Yes, I probably will never have as many Twitter followers as Katy Perry, but I do affect

people every day, whether I am aware of it or not. I recently read “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green. One of the main characters is a teenager named Augustus Waters with cancer. He has the same obsession I did of desperately needing a life that made an impact on the whole scheme of things. He wants to die a hero or save the world or any number of dramatic events. At one point, his girlfriend Hazel says to him, “You say you’re not special because the world doesn’t know about you, but that’s an insult to me. I know about you.” And she is so right. Your friends and family are your world. There is no better way to demean your relationship with someone than to say that your effect on them is irrelevant. So, congratulations Delaney, you’ve been a jerk. Yes, I still have miniexistential crisis moments. Yes, I still get overwhelmed by the future and my impending death and watch three episodes of Psych in a row on Netflix to recover. But, what all of this has taught me is that all you can do is focus on making every experience you have with someone a positive one. People’s memory of you may grow hazy over time, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel. I’m not going to influence the masses by any means. And I’m finally okay with that.

JOSEPH RAVITS | THE SPECTRUM

Carson Wentz is set to take over the reigns at quarterback. He went 11-for-20 for 165 yards in Saturday’s Spring Game.

Youngsters Make an Impression at Spring Game Sam Herder Sports Editor

The crowd of 4,542 at the Fargodome for NDSU’s annual Green vs. Gold spring game didn’t have much to talk about after the 54-play scrimmage Saturday. The play that drew the most reaction from the crowd was probably Ben LeCompte’s punt hitting a metal post suspended from the dome’s roof. It was quite the vanilla scrimmage that saw the offense beat the defense 29-22. But fans shouldn’t have been expecting anything more. Sitting out with spring surgeries were the likes of Carlton Littlejohn, Travis Beck, Colten Heagle, CJ Smith and Jordan Champion. Players like John Crockett, Kyle Emanuel, Mike Hardie and Christian Dudzik were dressed and ready to go, but did not take a snap. That’s the formula the Bison have gone with the previous years. NDSU has played 45 games the last three years. That’s four seasons for some programs. The veterans with a lock on their starting spots don’t

need unnecessary contact. So while those seniors and 23 seniors from last year watched from the sideline, flashing their new national championship rings given to them in a ceremony before the scrimmage, the underclassmen got their chance to make an impression on fans and their coaches in a game-like atmosphere. So who took advantage of the situation? Tre Dempsey, a redshirt freshman from Florida, certainly made a case for himself. With the experienced Smith and Champion sitting out, Dempsey was the standout corner. He had a great open-field tackle on Chase Morlock for one of his five tackles, showed off his coverage downfield multiple times and came close to hauling in an over-the-shoulder interception on a fade route. Coaches are looking at who’s going to replace All-American Marcus Williams opposite of Smith. Dempsey’s scrimmage likened his odds. Pierre Gee-Tucker, who played as a true freshman last season, showed he’s made big improvements in the offseason at the linebacker position. He laid a licking on Morlock one play and led the Bison defense

Bison Baseball Takes Three out of Four Taylor Kurth

Contributing Writer

The NDSU baseball team played four games in a two-day span against the Omaha Mavericks. After losing the first game, the Bison snapped a five-game winning streak by the Mavs and won three games in a row. In the first game, the Mavericks won 7-2 behind a strong showing from Tyler Fox. Fox won his seventh game of the year, yielding the Bison to only two runs. He also struck out four and scattered seven hits over five innings of work. After an early 2-1 lead by the Bison, the Mavs took the lead on a Caleb Palensky single and never looked back. David Ernst took his third loss of the year. In the second game, the Bison came back to win after trailing for the majority of the game. The Bison went into the seventh inning trailing 5-3. With the bases loaded, John Skrbec was walked, allowing Kyle Kleinendorst to score. After a pair of singles by Aiden Hook and Tim Colwell, the Bison found themselves ahead 6-5. Clayton Taylor hit an RBI single to tie the game for the Mavericks in the bottom of the inning. The teams needed an extra frame to end the game. In the 10th inning, the Bison put two runs across the plate with a pair of RBI singles. Those runs held up and the Bison won 8-6. Jay Flaa, who came in for two innings of relief late, earned his first win of the year. Trevor Jaunich shut the door for his third save of the year. In the third game, the Bison won 5-4. They scored the game winning run in

the seventh inning that saw them only have one hit. Hook walked, Colwell doubled and Blake Turbak was hit by a pitch that loaded the bases. Kleinendorst was hit by a pitch and that scored Hook. That run proved to be the decisive run as the Mavericks scored three runs in the bottom half of the inning. With one runner on and representing the winning run, Daniel Jewett was struck out by Jaunich, who recorded his fourth save of the year. Parker Trewin was given the win as he went six and 2/3 innings, only giving up four runs and striking out six batters. In the fourth and final game, the Bison withstood a ninth inning rally by the Mavericks and held on to win 9-7. In a game that saw the Bison lead wire to wire, the Mavericks never quit. The Bison took an early 6-1 lead and saw that cut to 6-4 in the next inning. The Bison went into the bottom of the ninth leading 9-5. Danny Suiter pinch hit for Cole Gruber and blasted a two-run shot to cut the lead to 9-7. Clayton Taylor singled to center and that brought the tying run to the plate in Alex Schultz. Kevin Folman sent him packing with a swinging strikeout that secured Folman’s first save of the year. Folman went four strong innings on his way to finishing the game. Reed Pfannenstein won his second game of the year, going five innings and striking out two. Cole Volkers received his second loss of the year, giving up four earned runs and six total. After this four-game series, the Bison have moved to a record of 15-18 and 6-8 in the conference. The Bison are back in action Tuesday night against North Dakota.

with six tackles. Redshirt freshman Chris Board also looked like a playmaker at the strong safety position. With Heagle in street clothes, Board recorded a 24-yard interception off Carson Wentz’s pass. The running backs had a nice day as three youngsters made their case to climb the depth chart with Crockett not playing and Nebraska transfer King Frazier sitting out. Darius Anderson took full advantage, rushing 14 times for 89 yards to lead NDSU. Anderson showed elusiveness and great vision on some runs. Moorhead native Morlock came up with a couple nice runs, including a 34-yarder that showed off some speed. But it was the walk on from NDSCS that got in the endzone. The bowling ball back Melvin DeSouza, who came out of nowhere this spring, scored on a 1-yard touchdown. The negative takeaway from the successful running game is the defensive line production. The interior line has the most question marks surrounding them heading into the 2014 season. While Brian Schaetz made a nice play in the backfield, the defensive line gave up some big lanes for the

running backs. How much concern Bison fans have at the moment should be limited, as the young group has the summer and fall camp to continue to progress. Lastly, the quarterback of the future Carson Wentz gave fans a glimpse of what life will be like without Brock Jensen under center. Wentz looked comfortable the entire scrimmage, finishing 11-for-20 for 165 yards. He did overthrow a couple passes and missed some open receiver. But miscommunication that will always be rusty in the spring could have attributed to that. But Wentz showed the patience when it really mattered, converting a couple third and fourth down throws. The last came on the final play of the scrimmage when Wentz connected with tight end Jeff Illies for a 59yard catch and run that made the final score 29-22. Fans will now have to wait until August 30 to see the Bison in action again against Iowa State. If there is anything indicative from Saturday’s scrimmage that fans can bring into the season, it’s that new players are set to make plays for the Bison in 2014.

The Great Playoff Debate Joe Kerlin Staff Writer

America has already spoken, but let’s really get into the juicy details and breakdown the debate. Who has a better playoffs, the NBA or the NHL? Hockey Pros: Number one on the pros list for hockey is, without a doubt, the overtimes. At any moment it can end, and at any given second a player can go from zero to hero, or vice versa. It’s the ultimate do or die moment. But the best thing about overtime is the fact it doesn’t end until someone steps in and earns the victory. Throughout these overtime periods and the series in general, one of the first things you notice is the extra-curricular activity going on after the whistle. In a series format, and especially in hockey, these teams flat-out hate one another. If you’re ever sitting on the edge of your couch with your heart rate about to jump through the roof because Ryan Getzlaf is about to take three or four cheap shots after the whistle, you know your watching the best of the best when it comes to entertainment. Also, when your talking about entertainment value, you have to mention that one goaltender who seems to emerge every season. You know who I’m talking about. The one who’s spinning on top of his head, making save after save for that fourthseeded team that was good but nowhere near great in the regular season. No one has come to the forefront yet this playoffs, but it’s the safest bet in sports: whomever has

the hottest goalie will win the cup. Cons: This really hit home for Wild fans last week. Matt Cooke was slapped with a seven game suspension, most likely ending his year. Suspensions are necessary and are important when it comes to policing a sport. But when the league brings down the hammer that basically shelves your head-hardo on the ice, it’s tough to win. Suspensions happen throughout the course of a series due to that chippyness we love. It’s a necessary evil, but the only evil when it comes to playoff hockey. Basketball Pros: Playoff overtime hockey might be the great period in sports and a game-winning goal in overtime might be the single best moment, but the second best moment is a buzzer-beating three. This pro only applies if the home team is the one winning the game, because let’s face it, it’s pretty anti-climatic when the road team comes into the home team’s building and beats the crap out of them. Cons: Where to begin. Well, there’s the no defense part, the too much flopping part and the part where it takes fifteen minutes of real time to play 10 seconds of gameclock. I think one of the most-underrated cons though is the watchability. In a hockey game, you have to stay tuned the entire 60 minutes. You need to get a feel for the game and see who is skating better and just flat out has the mojo working on that particular night. But with the NBA playoffs, you can come in half-way through the fourth quarter and know exactly what’s going on with 10 minutes. Maybe it’s the unpredictabilty of the NBA, but this quickly didn’t even turn into a debate. Final Verdict NHL Playoffs > NBA Playoffs

Krista Menke kept Western Illinois quiet Saturday as the NDSU softball team shut out Western Illinois in both games of a doubleheader at the Ellig Sports Complex. The Bison took the first game 10-0 and the second game 6-0. NDSU took an early lead in the first inning of the first game. With the bases loaded, junior third baseman Amanda Grable hit a grand slam to left field, putting the Herd up 4-0. The second and third innings stayed quiet for both NDSU and Western Illinois. In the bottom of the fourth, the Bison filled the bases on three straight walks. Senior catcher Jenina Ortega fell into a double play with a line drive to second baseman Emma Jarrell of Western Illinois followed by a force out at second base. Grable walked to fill the bases once again and Maritza Lopez-Portillo followed with a walk of her own to bring a run home. A single from both Jackie Stifter and Brandi Enriquez brought two more runs home for NDSU to make the score 7-0. Logan Moreland hit a one-out single in the fifth

inning, followed by a double from Cheyenne Garcia. Ortega then blasted a threerun home run to left center to bring the game to an end with the final score of 10-0 in five innings. Krista Menke picked up the win for NDSU. Menke pitched five innings, gave up three hits, struck out eight and walked one. Hailey Bickford took the loss for Western Illinois and drops to 4-10 on the season. Bickford pitched three innings, gave up five hits and six runs, struck out one and walked seven. Kayla Kirkpatrick also pitched for WIU, going 1.1 innings and giving up five hits, four runs, and walking two. NDSU jumped to an early lead again in the first inning of the second game. Moreland reached first on a Western Illinois fielding error, and was followed up with a single by Garcia. Grable hit a double to drive in Moreland and Garcia to put the Bison up 2-0. Enriquez led off the second inning with a triple and scored on a flyout from Alex Sobrero to left field to put NDSU up 3-0. With three singles by Ortega, Stifter and Isbel, and a walk by Lopez-Portillo, NDSU was able to score two more runs in the fifth inning to increase their lead 5-0.

In the sixth inning, Ortega and Grable hit back-toback singles and advanced on a wild pitch to put them in scoring position. LopezPortillo then drew a walk to fill the bases, and Stifter followed up with a walk to bring Ortega home from third, making the final score 6-0. Menke pitched all seven innings and picked up another win. Menke allowed four hits, struck out four and walked two. Menke is now 21-6 on the season. “It’s nice to get her shutouts,” Head Coach Darren Mueller said on Menke’s performance. “She pitched as well as she possibly could.” Kacyee Hart pitched six innings and picked up the loss for Western Illinois. Hart gave up 13 hits, six runs, struck out 5 and walked three. Hart is now 6-6 on the season. The Bison have improved their record to 27-15 overall and 10-3 in Summit League play. Western Illinois drops to 18-23-1 on the season and is 4-10 in Summit League play. “We just take it one day at a time,” Enriquez said. “We don’t reflect on the past.” NDSU will be back in action at 2 p.m. Wednesday in a doubleheader against Minnesota in Minneapolis.
