Wenzel Uses His Veto Power Student Body President vetoes a bill to provoke more thought and discussion Phoebe Ellis

Head News Editor

Mason Wenzel, student body president, vetoed a bill that would allow another committee to exist during election season.

The Senate bill was vetoed immediately after the Student Government meeting that took place Sunday, Jan. 28.

Wenzel vetoed the motion for two main reasons: he disagreed with the underlying points, and because he thinks there’s a lot of major concerns that were not brought up.

He also thinks the Senate needed more time to allow for thought and discussion on the subject.

The Senate bill would make it so the executive cabinet would have to create a new committee that would then have to assess the president’s appointments before going to the Senate meeting where they’re supposed to assess the president’s appointments after the student body president and vice president have already sat down and assessed all of the executives. “I feel like it’s adding another layer of thick red tape bureaucracy that’s not only unnecessary, but it stems a lot of major issues from it as well,” Wenzel said.

Despite the fact that this bill will have no effect on the graduating executive branch of Student Government, Wenzel doesn’t want to leave any redundancies behind when

I know senators want to learn more and want to understand where their appointments are coming from, and I commend them for wanting to know their rights on checks and balances, but I think it’s an overstep.”

Wenzel said.

If Wenzel’s veto is overridden, Student Government will proceed to interview a number of candidates and slate them.

The committee that could be created with this bill can then

Effectively, this will

Wenzel believes Student Government should handle prospective candidates.

Wenzel believes that

conversation should be held within Senate meetings so that everyone is included.

Currently, executives are appointed by the student body president and vice president, and the Senate can turn down anybody appointed, “Which is great; it’s an amazing system and it works very well, and I think there are a few minor flaws in this, but I feel like it’s an over-correction,” Wenzel said.

If the veto is overridden, it will extend the timeline of

Student Government’s plan by at least three meetings; that’s three meetings missing part of Student Government.

A different piece of legislation that passed unanimously altered the current voting system by allowing senators to meet without the executives in the room to make them more comfortable while sharing their opinions, “I think that legislation is great and I’m happy it passed, “ Wenzel said.

Religious Class at St. Joseph’s Collects Socks St. Joseph Church collected 700 pairs of socks for the homeless Ryan Nix

Contributing Writer

The children’s religious education classes at St. Joseph’s church collected 700 pairs of socks for the homeless this last weekend. The sock drive took place before and after mass on Saturday and Sunday. They also invited people to donate 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The particular need for socks was stressed by the organizer Kate Hendrickx who said, “They are something people sometimes don’t think about when they give donations because they are not a big ticket item.”

Hendrickx said new socks can “prevent frostbite and different funguses.” She further explained that “It’s so important they stay clean,” but “it’s hard with no washer or home.”

Before the drive, Hendrickx said she tried to keep the goal reasonable. “I told the kids our goal was 250 pairs,” she said. They tripled their goal as they received 700 pairs over the weekend.

Hendrickx is also expecting a large donation by the children on Wednesday.

The original plan for distributing the socks to those in need was to partner with Churches United for the Homeless, an organization in which “over 60 Churches United to combat homelessness,” according to Hendrickx.

“With such an influx, I might be spreading it out amongst

several groups,” Hendrickx said.

When asked how an average person can help with the issue of homelessness Hendrickx said, “Get together and make kits that include socks, chapstick, maybe a gift card to get food, basic hygiene products.” She explained that churches she knows do make these kits then drive around and hand them out to the needy.

Not only are people like Kate Hendrickx trying to keep the less fortunate from going without socks in the winter, there is also an ongoing battle between shelters in FargoMoorhead and the winter elements.

In late December, Churches United for the Homeless and other organizations were reaching out for more donations, volunteers and space for the homeless as temperatures plummeted. Gov. Mark Dayton even declared a state of emergency allowing the Moorhead armory to open as overflow housing from Dec. 27 to Jan. 4.

Most recently, Babs Coler, the director of development for Churches United for the Homeless, said between 600 and 800 people are without a home in the Fargo-Moorhead area on any given night. The CUFH shelter in Moorhead is utilizing chapel space to accommodate about 110 people a night.

“There’s a lot of need out there right now,” Coler said.

In particular, Cooler says shelters are in need of volunteers and donations to pay for operations.

ND Gives Inmates the Option of Public Service North Dakota is supporting people that are at risk of incarceration Dan Ukkelberg Co-News Editor

North Dakota’s aim to stop the flow of people into jails and prisons and to provide more community support will be called Free Through Recovery. This effort will cost $7 million and will rely on the partnerships of social service, religious, cultural and mental health organizations throughout North Dakota.

To get the best results, Free Through Recovery will assess the people on probation to determine their risks and needs for a partnering program. They believe that

bridging this gap between jails, prisons and the rehabilitation centers will help the probationers from wavering from their goals.

This new initiative will begin Feb. 1 with 600 offenders. If results from this social experiment turn out positive, the program may expand in the future.

The administrator of the Cass County Jail, Capt. Andrew Frobig, is open to the initiative, saying that about half of the jail’s inmates are repeat offenders. He goes on to say that most of the repeat offenders are for drug and alcohol problems and that they may go through the jail up to 10 times a year.

“I think it has potential,” Frobig said. “The person has to want to get cured of their addiction. They have to be a willing participant.”

“Criminalizing behavioral health isn’t helping anyone.” - Pamela Sagness, Director of Behavioral Health for the North Dakota Department of Human Services This new experiment follows a 32 percent increase in incarceration from 20052015, a projected 75 percent increase by 2025 and a $64 million renovation and con-

from around 60 percent to the high 40-percent range,” Judge Frank Racek, presiding judge of the East-Central District Court said. “We’re not trying to eradicate it,

but reduce the problem,” he added. “In the course of that, we have to make sure that the public is safe.”

Lisa Peterson, the clinical director for the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, compared the Free Through Recovery as preventative health as opposed to treating people with these problems in the emergency room.

“We can’t keep building our way out of the problem,” Peterson said. To prevent people returning to jail or prison, Free Through Recovery will target people that were recently released to help them once they return to the outside world.

Officials present said the drive to reduce the imprisonment rates reflects that the jail and prison systems that we have in place are often focused on punishing the offender and confining them.

Therefore, the system fails to help the person rehabilitate outside of incarceration.

This measure aims to help that.

“Criminalizing behavioral health isn’t helping anyone,” Pamela Sagness, director of behavioral health for the North Dakota Department of Human Services, said.

House Intelligence Committee Cries Foul Republican memo claims bias in government agencies Quinn Garrick Staff Writer

The House Intelligence Committee voted to release a memo that details alleged surveillance abuses by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Justice Department, escalating tensions between Republicans and U.S. intelligence agencies.

The Republican-controlled committee passed the vote along party lines, passing the role to President Trump whether to keep the memo classified or release it to the public, with a five-day deadline to review the material. If the president does not make a decision, the committee can release the memo publicly.

It is likely the Justice Department and the FBI will lobby the president during

the review period, attempting to keep the memo classified until the legal teams from those agencies have had the chance to review the material.

Another vote along party lines, within the Intelligence Committee, blocked a rebuttal memo from the committee’s Democrats. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the committee’s senior Democrat, who denounced the moves by the committee, said, “We had votes today to politicize the intelligence process.”

Schiff also noted the committee is investigating the FBI and the Justice Department, which was a claim disputed by committee Republicans, saying that the committee is simply conducting agency oversight.

The movement behind the memo started with congressional action focusing

on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, as Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, began to focus on alleged abuses by intelligence authorities, government agencies and former top officials under the Obama administration.

The Republican memo gives way to rising tensions in the politics surrounding efforts to understand the scope of Russian interference and whether the Trump campaign or its associates were involved with the Kremlin. Republicans in Congress claim the memo shows political bias in the investigative process, while Democrats believe it is a way for the GOP to sabotage the work of special counsel Robert Mueller and the associated law enforcement

Fargodome metal detectors

The Fargodome has installed new security with walk-through metal detectors.

The metal detectors may run this weekend during the Monster Jam and the Avenged Sevenfold concert next weekend.

“Stadium staff is being trained on the equipment and guidelines, and protocol on what can be brought into the dome is being worked out,” Valley News reported.

The new metal and wand detectors cost around $150,000.

New procedures for carry-on items at Hector International Airport

“The new procedures require travelers to place all electronics larger than a cell phone in bins for X-ray screening when going through the security checkpoint. The electronics should be placed in a bin with nothing on top or below, similar to how laptops have been screened for several years,” the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said in a press release.

The procedures have been fully implemented at the Fargo Hector International

Airport.

Passengers are advised to arrive two hours prior to their flight’s departure from the Fargo airport due to more bag checks.

The press release said, “There are no changes to what travelers can bring through the checkpoint.”

Unborn Child Protection Act

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would ban abortion after 20 weeks and includes exceptions to save the life of the mother and for cases of rape and incest.

“Any criminal charges would apply only to those performing illegal abortions.

Mothers would be protected from legal action,” Sen. John Hoeven said in a press release.

Fifty-two people voted for the bill, but it was shy of the 60 votes needed to bring the bill through the Senate.

Hoeven said in the press release, “This humane legislation recognizes that unborn children at 20 weeks can feel pain and survive with medical intervention if born at this stage of development.”

Keurig buys Dr. Pepper Snapple

“Keurig will buy Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, creating a beverage giant with about $11 billion in annual sales,” Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported.

With the merger, PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. will still outsize Keurig, with sales of $63 billion and $41 billion, respectively, in 2016.

The new company will be called Keurig Dr. Pepper, and shareholders of Dr. Pepper Snapple will receive $103.75 per share in a cash dividend.

“Keurig and Dr. Pepper Snapple will continue to run out of their current locations.

Keurig is based in Waterbury, Vermont and Dr. Pepper Snapple has headquarters in Plano, Texas,” Twin Cities Pioneer Press.

agencies.

The memo, even before Monday’s vote, had already been the cause for tensions between the political institutions — the White House and Congress — and the Justice Department.

“I am heartsick, as should anyone be who cares about democracy and our nation’s security,” said Jeffrey Smith, a former general counsel at the CIA. Current and former intelligence officials have expressed concern that releasing the memo would harm national security.

Those familiar with the content of the memo expressed that the primary target is the FBI and the agency’s relationship with Christopher Steele, a British ex-spy known for the dossier of allegations against Trump and some of his advisors — all of which the president

has denied. Steele’s work came about after being hired by a Washington research firm to investigate any connections between Trump and Russian leaders, which was funded by the Clinton presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Steele’s work was eventually incorporated into a 2016 FBI application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in an effort to conduct surveillance on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign advisor, with Republicans suggesting that Steele provided false information.

Those familiar with the memo said the document does not conclude whether Steele passed along suspect information to the FBI intentionally, or agency officials made a mistake in using the

information as evidence.

According to sources close to Trump, the president wants the memo to be released to the public, in an effort to substantiate his claims that the FBI and the Mueller investigation are biased toward him.

The Justice Department and the FBI have come out against the memo’s release, claiming that it could harm national security and ongoing investigations, as neither agency has had the opportunity to review the material in it.

The tensions surrounding the memo and related investigations marks a broader concern within the U.S. intelligence community, and that political struggles and tensions could damage U.S. intelligence reputations and discourage trust among foreign partners.

Worst flu outbreak since 2009

Americans are seeking more medical care for the flu than they have since the swine flu pandemic in 2009.

“Thirty-seven children have died and nearly 12,000 patients have been admitted to hospitals nationwide,” BBC News reported.

Every state, except Hawaii, have reported widespread flu activity.

In the 2014-15 flu season, 148 children died from the flu.

“The strain, also known as the Aussie flu, has been around for 50 years and was first called the Hong Kong flu in 1968,” BBC News reported.

The virus is an H3N2 virus and has been known to be harmful to young children and the elderly.

Two Food Truckers Aim to Help Newcomers into the Industry First Food Truck Association in the Fargo Area is being established Miranda Stambler Features Editor

Food trucks are trending, causing many newcomers to try and entrepreneur their way into the field. This can be more difficult than people think. Because of this, Jay Halvorson and Travis Rosenbluth are starting the first Red River Valley Food Truck Association.

Halvorson is the owner of the Texas Q BBQ and Rosenbluth is the owner of Phargo Food. They came together to establish this association in hopes of welcoming newcomers to the business of food trucks and so they can see more success stories.

While bigger cities tend to have these associations, there has yet to be one in the Red River Valley area, until now. Many may think this association would be controlling their businesses, but they wanted to clarify that they do not speak on behalf of those in the association. Instead, they provide guidance.

Their experience is what makes them so knowledgeable on the topic of the food truck industry.

When asked why they are qualified to provide this

guidance, Rosenbluth said, “Experience and we’re the only ones trying to do this.”

Halvorson explained how he does small consulting for other food truckers, has had many trial and error experiences and reads articles constantly on the industry.

“Some places (events) abuse food trucks” Halvorson explained. “We learn from each other.” They are using this association not only to help food truckers, but also to help educate vendors who call them for an event.

This association gives new entrepreneurs a platform for information. “(It) gives them a launching

food trucks are alone, it does not bring in nearly as much business because people want a variety, much like a food court situation. So if these new food truckers do not succeed, in a sense, the other food trucks are losing business as well.

“Singleness of us is not good for us,” Halvorson explained.

Every year during the food truck season they see around three to four more food truckers. Food trucks are trending right now, but Rosenbluth shared that the “future of food trucking is hazy. We’re providing for the now.”

Other parties are interested in becoming

“We don’t want them (new food truckers) to get discouraged” – Jay Halvorson, Owner of Texas Q BBQ pad for the experience,” Rosenbluth said. They want food trucks to be apart of the community.

“We’re working to bring you guys (newcomers) in … your business is our business,” Rosenbluth said.

involved, and they would not be surprised if other known food truckers became a part of the association. There is a “common understanding it would benefit all of us,” Rosenbluth said.

To make this association succeed, they are meeting

They shared that officials are on board and very optimistic about their plans. Mayor Tim Mahoney also supports their association.

Entrepreneur Joe Burgum is also a huge part of how Rosenbluth and Halvorson were able to create the idea. Burgum was an acquaintance of both, so he brought up how both had

the same type of ideas for the Fargo area for food trucks.

Passion brought them together and they believe it will continue to do so because food truckers are what they consider ”real people.”

The association is still in the works, but officials see it as an opening for more foot traffic to areas. They have a couple test areas in mind, such as around the Fargo Civic Center or Town

Hall. They’re utilizing this association as an expansion for the Fargo area.

They encourage students who are into cooking to think about working for a food truck. They explained how it is great culinary experience, along with a fun and unique experience.

Dress for meeting an industry mogul

Pick your flavor of business professional. Ladies, it can include a mash-up of any of the following: dress or skirt (knee-length), slacks, blouse and suit jacket.

Lads, wear a conservative two-piece suit with a button-up shirt, tie, colorcoordinated belt and dress shoes.

To avoid stuttering and looking unprofessional,

avoid the employers you really want to talk to at first.

“Start off talking to companies you are not as interested in to ditch any initial jitters. When comfortable, seek out top-choice companies and be both engaged and passionate,” said Jordyn Johnson, an NDSU alumna who is now an engineer at 3M.

Know your stuff

Know key facts about your favorite companies: their mission, values, operations and available job descriptions at a minimum.

While conducting research, jot down questions for recruiters to act as conversational catalysts.

“Mentally put yourself in the shoes of company representatives in attendance.

They will remember those who ask intriguing ques-

Know how to showcase your abilities. According to Forbes, the most desired skill categories in candidates include communication, organization, problem solving and teamwork.

A Different Perspective Claudia Santillan Being a part of two cultures can broaden outlook on life Emily Wotzka

Contributing Writer

Meet Claudia Santillan; born in Mexico and raised in Atlanta, she is a free spirit with arguably the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met.

Claudia is a psychology major at the University of North Georgia and is studying abroad at the University of Chester in the U.K. for an entire year.

From roaming the streets of London in search of a hostel to telling me about her family’s journey of becoming United States citizens, my interactions with Claudia were never anything short of an adventure.

Emily Wotzka (EW): You were born in Mexico and then moved to the U.S. when you were eight.

What was that like?

Claudia Santillan (CS): I was born and grew up in a small town of less than 100 people. The population today is still less than 100 people.

Growing up, I was raised by my mom with my siblings. She took care of us.

My dad would only visit us once a year because he lived in the United States and he provided for us. He made sure we had a good life.

So back then, we were probably the richest people in our town, mostly because my dad would send us money. That’s not the life my mom wanted.

She wanted all of us to

be together as one family, and so my dad worked really hard for over six years to get my siblings and I residence cards to become United States citizens. He wanted to make sure that we did everything right, and he didn’t want us to cross illegally. So it took a long time.

But when I was eight, we finally moved to Georgia, and for the first time we were a family. Growing up, it really showed me how to appreciate everything.

EW: Do you identify yourself as an American or as a Mexican? Or Both?

CS: I love this question.

This is actually one of the questions I keep reflecting back on. I’ve never, ever really questioned my nationality until I got here when I was introducing myself.

I have lived about 70 percent of my life in America. I’m going to be honest, I identify more as an American than as a Mexican because of the culture.

I feel like I believe more in the American values. The culture is very progressive and individualistic. There are more opportunities here.

When I go back to Mexico, I am an outsider there. I might be the same skin color, I might be the same shape, I might have been born there, but when I go there, I am an outsider to them. Their beliefs are very traditional. The women are usually at home cooking and that’s just what’s expected.

I just don’t feel comfortable being myself in

that culture, or at least I don’t understand that culture.

EW: How does it feel when you go back to Mexico to visit your family?

CS: I believe we live in a really materialistic world, and so whenever I went back to Mexico, I really noticed how little people have compared to us.

A normal American house, to them, would be a five-star hotel. I just realized that they found happiness even if they didn’t have anything. They rely a lot on communication and family and having people to support them.

To me, it was a very insightful moment — realizing that I didn’t really need all of that materialistic stuff. It really made me appreciate where I come from.

EW: Do you think your unique perspective has changed how you live?

CS: I would say so. I mean, over the years I have learned that money is just a piece of paper. It only has meaning if you give it meaning. But it does affect how you live your life.

FARGO FOODIE Japanese Meal On the Go

Onigirazu is easy to make and take with you to class Amanda Wagar Contributing Writer

The semester is in full swing, homework is piling up and college students are trying to make ends meet without going to class on an empty stomach.

If you are like me, most of your paycheck each month goes to rent and bills, and you begin to wonder

how the measly amount left over will be able to cover groceries for the week. At this point, many students may resort to the classic “rice and beans,” but by taking inspiration from Japanese cuisine, you can transform your ordinary rice into delicious, on-the-go lunches.

Onigirazu, or often referred to as a “sushi sandwich,” was a fad

in Japan a couple years ago that quickly became integrated into the culture.

This variation of Japanese onigiri (or otherwise known as a rice ball) is easy to make and great for students on the go.

The ingeniousness of onigirazu is that it can be made with more untraditional fillings than onigiri, as it is all held together by nori (seaweed)

in the end.

There are many options for filling the onigirazu; some great ideas include tuna and lettuce, fried egg and ham and bologna and cheese, but generally you can use whatever you have on hand.

Onigirazu Ingredients:

1 sheet of nori 1 cup of cooked white rice (sushi rice preferred, but

long grain also works) Fillings of your choice

Lay out a sheet of cling wrap that is just bigger than the sheet of nori, and place the nori with the shiny side down.

Place a large spoonful of rice in the middle of your nori.

Pile your fillings on top of the rice.

Add another spoonful of rice on top of your fillings.

Fold in your nori around your rice and fillings as if you were wrapping a present.

Secure the parcel with cling wrap and allow for the nori to soften before cutting down the middle with a knife.

Review: ‘Call Me By Your Name’ is the Achingly Beautiful Coming-Of-Age Story We Needed Set in 1983 Italy, this film has more to offer than gorgeous views, Hammer and Chalamet included Laura Ellen Brandjord A&E Editor

Italian film director Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name” has garnered a hefty number of nominations since its nationwide release Jan. 19.

Starring Timotheé Chalamet and Armie Hammer and based off of the novel by André Aciman, this film has more to offer than insight into 1980s Italy and satisfying views of short shorts-clad actors (the shorts proved problematic in multiple shots of Hammer, requiring post-production editing).

Everyone can relate to Chalamet’s character, 17-year-old Elio Perlman who is deep in the throes of intense emotions and struggling through the growing pains of a sexual awakening.

A fledging composer and possessing an advanced intelligence no doubt due to his parent’s occupations (his father is a Greco-Roman archeologist and his mother

a translator), Elio is caught off guard by his attraction to American graduate student Oliver (Hammer).

As this secretive flirtation continues, the inner turmoil experienced by Elio is palpable. At one point even admitting to Oliver his lack of knowledge on the “things that really matter.”

Through the course of the movie, you see Elio become more confident as his and Oliver’s affair continues.

Oliver seems to help Elio find and accept who he is, including in regard to their shared Jewish heritage.

Guadagnino’s directing allows each emotion to be keenly and intimately felt by the audience. The knotted stomach, failed aloofness, heightened sense of one’s appearance when the object of your desire is near; all is beautifully laid out in a film which rarely strays from showing the characters’ everyday routines.

Grammys’ Return to NYC a Major Success Bruno Mars sweeps awards, political commentary abounds Brittany Hofmann Contributing Writer

The Grammys were held this past Sunday in their rightful home, Madison Square Garden.

The Grammys are a night of recognition for the biggest and best music has to offer.

This year, Bruno Mars made out like a bandit. The 10-year music veteran left MSG with the six awards he was nominated for that night, winning three of the four major categories — Album and Record of the Year for “24K Magic” and Song of the Year for “That’s What I Like.”

Mars missed out on Best New Artist since he is a veteran to the industry, and the award went to Alessia Cara. Cara is best known for her song “Stay” and contribution to Logic’s “1800-273-8255.”

The ceremony is a night for the musical stars to shine. And also politics.

The star-studded award ceremony gives all the latest and greatest music has to offer, but this year, like many others, also had its fair share of political banter.

Social justice was a main theme from start to finish, beginning with the white roses on the red carpet. The color white quickly became a motif for the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements against sexual misconduct.

This was further represented in Kesha’s emotional comeback performance of her song, “Praying,”

where she and her female colleagues dawned the stage clothed in all white attire.

Before introducing Kesha to the stage, Janelle Monae spoke on the movement and delivered a message on behalf of all women in the industry, “We come in peace, but we mean business.” Along with her message, she urged both men and women of the industry to work together, united, to create a safer environment for all.

No night of political speech is complete without poking fun at President Donald Trump.

Kendrick Lamar’s opening performance was riddled with political innuendos, but still received its much deserved standing ovation after his final song, “King’s Dead,” when his dancers in red hoodies individually fell to the floor in sync with gunshots.

The hoodies seemed to be symbolic of the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.

On a much lighter side, Hilary Clinton made an appearance when host James Corden held auditions for the narration of Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury,” which details the unsavory behavior of the president in the White House and during his 2016 presidential campaign.

In between the repartee were some notable performances.

Lady Gaga was the one to watch of the evening. Sitting at a white grand piano, she

sang “Million Reasons,” dedicating the ballad to her father’s late sister, Joanne, and to love and compassion.

Sam Smith’s soulful rendition of his song “Pray” was a masterful transition between awards.

Following the ode was the presentation of Best Pop Solo Performance. To the surprise of myself and many others, Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” beat out some of the most powerful female voices in the industry. The other nominees included Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons,” Kelly Clarkson’s “Love So Soft,” Kesha’s “Praying” and P!nk’s “What About Us.” Camilla Cabello took to the stage to introduce music legends U2, and told her own story of her parent’s journey to America while pleading for the Dreamers and young immigrants today. The story was fitting for the setting of the performance, which took place on the Hudson River in front of the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of the voyage that many immigrants made to Ellis Island.

‘Battalion 1944’ Proves Simplicity Doesn’t Have to Be Boring Bulkhead Interactive develop classic FPS game set in the trenches of World War II Nathan Wetrosky Staff Writer

Developed by Bulkhead Interactive and published

by Square Enix, “Battalion 1944” revisits this era of gaming with nostalgia and good gunplay.

Remember the days long ago when first-person shooter (FPS) games did not need to be fancy to be entertaining to play? Back then, all that was needed for an FPS game to be fun was a couple different guns to use, a cool map and an intense atmosphere created by the anxiety of wondering when you will be shot. Nothing was too complex. It was simply point, aim, shoot and repeat.

“Battalion 1944” hit early access today (Feb. 1), and as quoted from one the developers, it will be “the best FPS of the year.”

The game has many great things working for it.

I would like to first suggest going to the Steam Store and looking up “Battalion 1944.” When you get to the game’s page, I highly suggest clicking on the second video. The video is nostalgic, emotional and it gives a much better

understanding of what the game means to the people working on it, rather than what is in the game, which I will be going over.

“Battalion 1944” is set during World War II. You can either be on the side of the Axis, playing as a German soldier or as part of the Allied forces as an American Soldier. The goal of each match is to shoot more enemy soldiers to score points, ultimately pushing you closer to victory and your enemies to defeat.

The theme of “Battalion 1944” is simple. From the little bit I have seen, simple seems quite fun. The gameplay looks very intense as players square off with WWII accurate rifles and ‘Battalion 1944’ hit early access Feb. 1 on the Steam Store. machine guns, including know, if you don’t fire first polished environments and the German Kar98 and your opponent does.

periods of time to get points for your team.

Lastly, Team Deathmatch is where two opposing teams of five will put their skills to the test to see who can rack up the most kills for shooting their enemies.

These modes are already in the game, as it is, and later there will be Behind Enemy Lines and War Tide. I do not know what those last two will be, but they sound cool.

“Battalion 1944” is a purely multiplayer experience with no campaign

or story missions. However, the development team has hinted at a potential for a single-player, story-driven campaign once a few of their large-scale goals have been completed.

The game is out now on the Steam Store early access page for a fair price.

If you feel that you want to experience the joys of a great FPS with fun gameplay elements, I suggest you check it out.

2017: Nintendo Switches Back On Nintendo achieves success through innovation David Hurteau

Contributing Writer

Nintendo is doing pretty well right now, sitting pretty in the Wide World of SpVideo Games. Stocks are up, their games and consoles are selling well and the public is satisfied with their gaming experiences on Nintendo consoles.

Given their recent bumpy financial history, Nintendo may be having a talking heads moment of, “Well, how did we get here?” Thus begins the comeback story of Nintendo in 2017. Actually, we have to hop into 2016 for a bit to get some context real quick if you’ll bear with me.

There was this console called the Wii U that you probably haven’t heard of due to its multiple marketing problems upon launching in 2012 and throughout its lifetime. The brainchild of Nintendo, the Wii U was an attempt at innovation in the home console space complete with dual-screen capabilities and other features. It was a dud. It was confusing to consumers (“Is this a new Wii, just a new controller or what?”), the design wasn’t very sleek and third-parties avoided it like cows skirting an electric fence. In late 2016, the Wii U resembled an anemic, 10,000-year-old Energizer Bunny begging to be put out of its misery, but Nintendo had to keep urging it to keep going and going and …

“Surprise, we’re going to reveal our new console code-named NX in the morning, so tune in people!”

Nintendo said in so many words via Twitter in October 2016. Hints at NX had been

made by Nintendo for about a year prior, but this was actually the moment — it was time to see what the “big N” had up its sleeves to usurp the deadweight Wii U. A trailer was put online the next day for the Nintendo Switch. It was some fascinating, strange, hybrid thing that was not only a portable handheld console with a touchscreen, but it came with a dock that plugged into a TV to turn it into a full-blown home console. The kicker was that it looked slick, played the long-awaited new Zelda game and, if it worked as it appeared, it could be revolutionary.

Cue 2017, where in January, Nintendo gave a live presentation for the world to inform eager gamers about the Switch.

The release date was set for March 3, 2017. They laid out the details: price, battery life, features, specs and of course games. “Splatoon 2,” “Xenoblade Chronicles 2,” “Skyrim,” “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,” “Super Mario Odyssey” and others were all announced to be released that year.

However, the highlight for many was right at the end of the presentation, when Tatsumi Kimishima, president of Nintendo, did a classic “now for one more thing” announcement.

Though we didn’t know it at the time, this announcement would end up being the initial push of the Nintendo Switch snowball that has become the juggernaut we see today. Kimishima let the video play, and it was an incredible trailer for the new Zelda game. To the roar of the crowd around the world,

the trailer revealed: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” would also be releasing March 3, 2017, making it a launch title.

The buzz was palpable.

Nintendo had already shown the innovative gameplay and gorgeous visuals present in “Breath of the Wild” at E3 2016, but now we knew that it was going to be available day one on the shiny new Switch. This was a console that we could take with us anywhere we went, so the adventure didn’t have to be put on hold upon leaving the house.

The launch hype was massive.

The reviews for “Breath of the Wild” indicated that Nintendo truly had something WIKIPEDIA | PHOTO COURTESY special here; nearly all major gaming publications The Switch is a hybrid console and a successful manifestation of Nintendo’s risk-taking approach. reported a perfect score.

Billy, Billy, Billy: Oh No Editing an email I got about ‘facts’ on Muslims

Erik Jonasson II Opinion Editor

This past week I got an email that urged me to take the contents of it very seriously. Well, honestly, I don’t take much seriously.

I hate it when people try to make me care about things.

Yes, folks this past week I got an email that told me all the terrible “facts” about Muslims and Islam.

I can’t say thank you enough to Billy, the supposed sender’s name. I only got it from his email address because upon further questioning, I was asked to not care about his identity and to rather care more about the facts.

So what did Billy send me? Well, he sent me a

2,000-word email and relayed to me that there is absolutely no way he had access to a word processor.

Billy ... 2,000 words in an email? Couldn’t you attach a word document?

Hey Billy, I will edit your piece though, but perhaps you can learn from your mistakes for the second time you send me something to publish. Sadly, I don’t think this will be published, since there are a lot of errors.

First things first, you start your masterpiece with a quote, “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence,” - John Adams.

Alright, don’t start with a quote; that’s first-day stuff.

We delete those quotes and put them somewhere else usually, and since this quote from John Adams is possibly the best writing in this, we must keep it.

Alright, Billy, my red pen found another critical

error.

“An accurate way to think about American Muslims is that they have dual citizenship — Islam and US.” I mean, really? This is a big claim, and it is going to take some big evidence to confirm this for me. Oh, but you see Billy, you linked your source as WikiIslam, which I literally couldn’t make up. If it isn’t good enough for a research paper, then sorry, The Spectrum won’t publish it unless you know, its liberal propaganda or the communist manifesto.

Billy, you have something I’d like to call, Fox Molder Predisposition.

But in your case, it isn’t aliens or Big Foot, but rather jackassery. Stop making insane leaps and expecting your audience to just blindly follow; that only works a majority of the time at Fox News.

But let us continue, shall we?

Alright, even later on you move to make another rather large claim, that there

are Muslim-No-Go zones, which to me sounds more like a Toby Keith concert than something I’d actually be scared of.

You claim that there are zones in Europe and America that are apparently, No-Go zones where Sharia Law prevails, and nonMuslims are restricted from entering.

Alright, well after research, and I promise you it was maybe a minute, I found this to be an outrageous lie, one that Snopes and The Los Angeles Times debunk as well as other major media sources. People from these ‘No-Go’ zones denied it, especially the white people, who you claimed didn’t exist there.

Even more, Fox News the originator of the story of ‘No-Go’ zones apologized for the inaccuracy. So, obviously there is no way we can keep that, we will just cut that out.

Now, in another section, you outline the Muslims’ grand plan of taking over countries in a seven-point

plan. This is ludicrous; the last time I had a seven-point plan was when I drunkenly made a quesadilla a few weeks ago.

These ‘points,’ which include the first immigrant who brings Islam to Muslims forcing money from nonMuslims for protection, and finally, 100 percent total take over, sounds a lot more like U.S. history than anything else. If you would have linked that, then I might have played along with your ideas, but instead you linked a vague Google search that led me to more of the yankydanky-doodle-bulls*** I’ve come to expect at this point.

Finally, we come to my personal favorite part — the part where you quote the Quran. You give citations so that people can go and look up these passages themselves.

The only problem is Billy, and I mean the only problem, is that the first passage is quoted grossly incorrect. I mean, the first one Billy.

But Billy, I think I might have found your worst

offense: “If you find this info. informative and helpful, please consider copying it and sharing with your elected representatives, colleagues, friends, family and posting to Muslim related news articles.”

Look here Billy, if you are going to take a huge s*** in my inbox, a curling pile of s*** that reaches over 2,000 words of idiocracy, at least have the common decency to have it be your own personal s***.

Yeah, maybe next time buddy. Look, folks, your parents or grandparents might get things like this.

And it is our jobs as educated members of society to quickly shut these up. Have those difficult conversations and don’t let your friends or family fall victim to inaccurate accounts or sensationalism. Don’t let someone like Billy tell them about the world.

Women’s Revolution in WWE McMahon’s pinnacle wrestling company taking notice of women Mark Simonson Staff Writer

This past Sunday was the Royal Rumble pay-perview. There were several matches that continued storylines. WWE champion AJ Styles and SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon continued their feud with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

Shinsuke Nakamura won the Royal Rumble match and the right to main event WrestleMania 34 for the WWE championship.

But what takes the cake is the first ever women’s Royal Rumble match taking the main event of the payper-view. Asuka, another

professional wrestler from Japan, was the winner of this match. As the winner of this match, she will have a shot for her choice of either the Raw Women’s Championship against Alexa Bliss, or for the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair (Ric Flair’s daughter).

What capped off the night was an appearance

by Ronda Rousey, former mega-star for the UFC women’s division. She is also a fourth-degree black belt in judo.

Rousey didn’t have to grab a microphone to make her presence felt. She stood in front of Asuka, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss and pointed to the WrestleMania

34 sign in the arena. She initiated a handshake with Asuka, but Asuka swatted it away. Rousey then stepped out of the ring and walked over to the announcer’s table to give Stephanie McMahon a handshake.

Stephanie reluctantly reciprocated the handshake, given their encounter a few years earlier at WrestleMania 31. At that event, Rousey gave Triple H a judo throw and almost locked Stephanie in an arm bar.

I think that with the current star power in WWE’s women’s division and the women grabbing more of the spotlight, the WWE is doing more good for its women’s roster than it has in many years. With the

likes of Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Asuka and now potentially Ronda Rousey, the women’s division of WWE potentially has had the most star power in over a decade. About a decade ago, it was just Trish Stratus and Lita at the top of the division.

How it started In October 2016, at the WWE Hell in a Cell payper-view event, Charlotte Flair defeated Sasha Banks in the main event for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship. This was the first time ever that the main event was a women’s match in a pay-per-view. It was also the first time a women’s match was contested inside the Hell in a Cell structure.

The match between Banks and Flair at that pay-perview lasted over 22 minutes, which is a marathon of a match compared to the usual women’s match being five minutes or less.

Stephanie McMahon, WWE’s chief brand officer, noted that a major role behind the women’s revolution was her husband Triple H. Triple H is WWE’s executive vice president of talent relations, creative and live events. As such, he has been aiming to recruit more elite wrestlers from all over the world, both men and women. Stephanie McMahon said, “What my husband started doing was recruit elite athletes from all over the world — be it male or

female. The elite women were trained as the men were. He (Triple H) started giving them the opportunity to tell stories in the ring the same as the men. The result was a huge groundswell of our audience chanting and cheering for our women.”

McMahon further explained that in 2015, a women’s match lasted as much as 30 seconds.

After some time, fans were creating a hashtag (#GiveDivasAChance).

After some time and planning, that is what they’ve been doing.

An Adult’s Airline, but Not Like That Let’s talk about kids on airplanes

Grant Gloe Staff Writer

Airplanes are a balance between being free as a bird and living in a fish tank.

Claustrophobia aside, the food is basically the same and neither feel clean. The point is there’s plenty of room for improvement.

Well, I’m an opportunist.

Just ask whoever ordered that pizza I paid the Domino’s guy for. I can’t pass up the chance to repair an industry, and so I’ll give you the first airline that doesn’t make you miss the ground: Gloe-ing Up Airlines.

The key to our airline is that we deal with the big issues our competitors won’t tackle. We’ll buy the real TV dinners instead of the airline brand ones.

We’ll hold our security and employees to dangerously low standards for your speed and convenience. The biggest, baddest, all-around saddest issue on airlines though?

Screaming children.

On our Gloeing 747s, the back eight rows have been walled off and converted into a children’s playroom.

The children are ushered into their pen at the start of the flight, where they can enjoy all of the amenities needed to ensure fun and

safety. The door will then be closed, locked and barred not to be opened until you are on solid ground. While teaching the little tykes independence, it gives you some well-deserved peace.

If a three hour “Lord of the Flies” type situation happens to arise during the flight, well we’ll deal with that in Houston now, won’t we?

I mean, just look at the clientele you already deal with. You’ve got the senior citizen, who very politely asked for the aisle seat and yet has no idea how to handle rejection. You have the guy laying claim to your armrest and sees legroom as a communal space. Why shouldn’t you partake in a two-and-a-half star movie without hearing about how little Timmy left his graham crackers on Mother Earth? Good thing you’re in the heavens because he’s screaming like he’s gonna meet his maker.

It’s not like the mom is happy about the situation.

There are a lot of reasons I’m

They’re not carrying sacks of potatoes because they’re normal people. They have no idea what it would be like to be a person who would willingly

carry around a sack of potatoes that won’t shut up about Dinotrux, whatever the hell that is.

Well, what other choice do they have? Are they to just sit at home with nothing but a dumb sack of potatoes that’s once again trying to lick an outlet?

They don’t even make great conversation. What’s more, stupid Donna is getting married. You can’t just leave the potatoes in a dog kennel (trust me), so the potatoes need to be on the plane, even if it makes you stand out or feel ostracized.

Dragging that thing around has got to be tiring.

Super Bowl Halftime Snooze Show The lack of diversity in halftime performers continues Mark Simonson Staff Writer

Welcome to 2018. With that, the first major holiday of the year will be the Super Bowl. Super Bowl LII is coming up on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018. Justin Timberlake will be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.

This was not a total shocker because his musical style is almost exclusively the same music the NFL has been playing at its Super Bowl halftime shows for the last 20 years. There have certainly been exceptions, such as Aerosmith playing a few songs at Super Bowl XXXV, U2 at XXXVI, Tom Petty at XLII and

Bruce Springsteen at XLIII. However, the majority of the time it’s been the same rap, hip-hop, R&B and pop sound over and over and over again.

Too heavy For halftime

One can understand that the NFL wants to attract a younger crowd with its hip-hop and rap, but not everybody in the younger audience may be into that.

I, for one, am into the more hard rock and heavy metal scene. However, folks in that genre would never get asked to perform at the Super Bowl. James Hetfield, lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the iconic thrash metal band Metallica, said on Nikki Sixx’s radio show,

book Metallica for the halftime show for Super Bowl 50 in 2016 in Santa Clara, California. However, that petition was denied, and the NFL instead went with Coldplay, Beyonce (again), Bruno Mars (again), among others. So Metallica responded by playing at the AT&T Park in San Francisco, California the night before the Super Bowl. They streamed it online for everyone to watch and showed a sign at the beginning of their set-list that said, “Too Heavy For Halftime.”

This was after petitions were sent to the NFL to

Another example is that the Red Hot Chili Peppers were asked to play halftime

for Super Bowl XLVIII. The NFL asked them to pre-record their instruments and mimic playing their instruments. A lot of controversies ensued about this situation.

It’s hard to say exactly why the NFL would book a metal band for its super bowl halftime shows. But playing the same kind of act with teenage heartthrobs and acrobats have been rather redundant for some people.

This is one of the reasons why I personally don’t listen to the local radio station Y94.

It plays the same songs over and over and over again, and it gets boring rather quickly.

Lack of variety and diversity has made the halftime show rather dull.

Spectrum Super Bowl Predictions With less statistical analysis than expected Spectrum Staff

Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor Favorite NFL Team: Minnesota Vikings

I alluded to it in a column last week, but this prediction stems from the pessimism that comes with being in Minnesota. No matter what, the thoughts of actually achieving a major victory will never be fulfilled.

So sorry Eagles fans.

Philadelphia is a town that knows heartbreak/choking well, as we do up in the North.

The team on the other side of the ball knows success, and some defeat. They know how to fight their way through tough games, especially ones that see an upstart underdog.

Going into the AFC Championship game, Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey boldly claimed his team was going to the Super Bowl. For three quarters, it looked like he was right.

But then Tom Brady did Tom Brady things, and that was without Rob Gronkowski.

The Eagles embracing the underdog mantra is fine, but they shouldn’t expect it to carry them to a Super Bowl.

The “neutral” Minnesota fans at the game will make it feel like a true road game for the Eagles, and the Patriots will take advantage.

Final score: New England 28 Philadelphia 17 Thomas Evanella Sports Staff Writer Favorite NFL Team: New York Giants

Super Bowl LII presents an ethical and moral quandary unseen to fans of the Big Blue Wrecking Crew. How we are to choose between the hated and reprehensible Patriots and the evil Eagles is beyond me. That being said, I must say I do have a soft spot for under-appreciated units, and the Philadelphia defense certainly fits the bill in that respect.

The Eagles ranked No. 4 in both yards and points allowed per game in the regular season and continued their defense tour de force in the playoffs, conceding only 17 points across two games.

While their pass defense is

fairly middle of the road, it is much more than made up for by their run defense, as they top the NFL, conceding minuscule 79 yards per game on the ground.

The Eagles defensive line is ferocious, with Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Chris Long, and Derek Barnett all tallying greater than five sacks. Philadelphia would be well served taking cues from their rival Giants. The Giants sacked Tom Brady five times in their Super Bowl XLII triumph, a victory in which I still revel. If the Eagles can get home on Pretty Boy Brady more than four times, they will pour salt into the wounds of the Vikings fans in attendance and give the City of Brotherly Love it’s first Lombardi Trophy. Die, Eagles, Die.

Final score: Philadelphia 30 New England 14 Cody Tusler - Sports Staff Writer Favorite NFL Team: Minnesota Vikings

Over the summer I went to the casino and was sitting a Blackjack table. If you have ever sat at a Blackjack

table, you know you always get screwed. Have 17+ hands and still lose. That was happening to me.

With that being said, I had a pair of eights and I split them and got two sixes.

So, I now have two hands each consisting an eight and a six, two hands of 14.

I was going to hit one hand and check on the other. The dealer, whose card showing favored me not to hit, and another gentleman at the table were asking me if I want to do that. I finally gave in a checked both hands.

My buddy sitting next to me hit his hand, and it was a four or six, I don’t remember which one. If I did hit I would have had an 18 or 20 hand and I would have had won that hand and made my money back.

Moral of the story is that you can’t think of the stats and take the book, light it on fire, and put it in the metal trash can in the back alley.

I’m going to throw the book away and the Patriots will lose wearing white jerseys. 27-21 Philly Philly!

Grant Gloe - Opinion Writer Favorite NFL Team: Minnesota Vikings

Now I’ve never been a huge fan of either Super Bowl team. If Eagles fans throwing full beers at Vikings fans and climbing greased streetlights doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what will. I envy their crazy in a way.

Between the two teams, however, I actually dislike the Patriots more. They’re no fun and I would’ve loved to see a Jaguars vs Vikings Super Bowl.

Unfortunately, whatever animal Tom Brady has been choosing as his pre-game blood sacrifice must be making his dark lord quite pleased. I think the Patriots ungodly offense gives them the upper hand here, especially if the Eagles throw in the second half like it seems every team does against the Patriots.

Favorite NFL Team: Cleveland Browns

Just gonna point this out, I came the closest in predicting the big game last year so I am bound to be correct this time.

Nick Foles, look for him to have a big day at the snack station at US Bank Stadium. He is going to be buying beer and lutefisk on borrowed money from that second huge contract he is going to get. I expect him to throw down at least five hotdogs, maybe even six. I also expect at least seven beers.

As for Tom Brady, I am predicting that he finally gets his Viagra prescription transferred to the local CVS here in town. I am expecting, three, maybe even four hours of an erection. Basically long enough to make him a non-factor under center at least.

As for the game, I don’t really know or care, whose playing, so I am calling this a win for the Vikings. SKOL Vikes.

What to Watch For: Super Bowl LII Some serious (and not so serious) details for the game Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor

The New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles face off for the Lombardi Trophy Sunday night in Minneapolis. While The Spectrum staff has given their insights into the big game, here are some other things to look for Sunday.

James White touchdowns

As much praise that Tom Brady received after the comeback win against Atlanta last year, James White was the true hero. In a crowded backfield like New England’s, White continues to be the receiving back.

He logged 110 yards receiving against the Falcons and could see a lot of the ball should the Eagles’ front four pressure Brady. White also knows how to turn it up in the postseason, with seven touchdowns in five games the last two years.

Gronk spikes

At the time of writing, Rob Gronkowski is listed as questionable with a concussion. He returned to practice last weekend, pointing toward him playing Sunday.

Gronkowski has 76 touchdowns, third all-time in NFL history. His celebration of choice is his Gronk Spike, and it is so popular that it has its own definition on Urban Dictionary.

Brady’s top target is a matchup nightmare, as Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey learned in the AFC Championship game.

Gronkowski is favored to get into the end zone at some point in the night.

Crazy stats

Fact, the team that has worn white in the Super Bowl has won 12 of the last 13 games. New England is the designated home team and chose to wear white, the color they have not lost a Super Bowl in.

The Eagles are going green, a jersey they were 10-1 in this season.

This is the Patriots eighth trip to the Super Bowl under Bill Belichick. The average scoring difference in the eight games is just a shade under four points. The Patriots have also scored zero points in the first quarter in all eight games.

EA did a game simulation in “Madden NFL 18,” and the Patriots won 24-20.

Tom Brady led the NFL in passing yards this season.

According to NFL Research, regular season passing leaders are 0-5 in Super Bowls.

‘Neutral’ Vikings fans

Perhaps the most important off-field struggle this weekend will be in Minnesota fans’ conscience.

The treatment of Minnesota fans in Philadelphia two weeks ago is not forgotten. And if there is one thing Minnesotans have a long memory about, sports are right there, along with cold

winters.

That being said, the whole Minnesota Nice thing will be put to the test.

Expect Minnesotans to not salt their sidewalks when renting out their Airbnb, adding lutefisk to their hot dish they are serving to Eagles fans and at least one Skol chant during the game.

European football games and golf

Like always, big games come with big bets in Las Vegas. Last year’s Super Bowl brought in $138.4 million in bets, and it is likely that this year will surpass that record. Most of the early bets have gone to the underdog Eagles.

But with the normal bets also come the fun prop bets.

Cleveland Indians Remove Chief Wahoo Logo American Indian names used as sports nicknames: good or bad?

Cody Tusler Staff Writer

Here we are again, talking about teams using American Indian names for their team’s nickname.

On Monday, Jan. 29, 2018, the Cleveland Indians announced that they will remove the Chief Wahoo logo, which has been the logo for over 70 years, in 2019 due to a debate over the racist depiction of American Indians.

This has been a controversy in the organization for many years. In recent seasons, Cleveland started to phase out the old logo, implementing a simple “C” logo.

I did see this day coming that the logo would be permanently removed. I do agree with this move. Usually, I don’t go with the politically correct way, but hear me out.

The Chief Wahoo logo is cartoon-like and is the stereotypical red-colored skin.

I never liked the logo and thought it was immature.

For a similar reason, I don’t like the nickname Redskins for Washington’s NFL team.

As I previously stated, I don’t like that the Chief Wahoo logo was red for the stereotype it brings. The nickname and the logo for the Washington Redskins brings along the stereotype that

Americans Indian are known as people with “red skin.”

Now people will say its history and you can’t change it. Imagine if there was a team called the “Blackskins?” All hell would break loose and the authority of the team would be a racist.

What if some team changed their name to the “Orangeskins?” I’m all for Trump memes, but there would still be some blowback.

Let’s take the “history and you can’t change it ” bit and look at another team that was changed.

The University of North Dakota nickname was changed from the Fighting Sioux to the Fighting

Hawks. Quick sidebar, what a horrible name change.

Roughriders were a better name option in my opinion.

I remember when I was young (maybe elementary school) and people were talking about the name and how it needed to be changed.

The debate raged for years until the school finally changed it in 2015.

Now the American Indian community is divided on the issue. Some say that the name should be changed, and others say they are honored, and that if they do change the name it would cut the bond that the tribe and the university have with each other.

According to the Billings

Gazette and Grand Forks Herald, two American Indian members put their names in a lawsuit to stop the UND nickname vote.

The document claimed there was no Sioux representation in the process of choosing a new name and protest members of the Sioux Nation are not among the chosen stakeholders who can vote on the name.

“In other words, someone with no other ties to UND other than the purchase of a season ticket is allowed to participate in the vote on the nickname selection, but not the members of the Sioux Nations, who bestowed the name to UND,” court documents stated.

UND is the most iconic name in college hockey and the school was founded in the 1930s, so, telling me that you can’t change a name because its history is a load of BS. I could go on about how there are other schools that have nicknames and logos of American Indians, but I won’t.

To me, I believe it is okay to name a team after American Indians, but we should do it respectfully. They were and still are great warriors and fighters and we should honor them as such.

Summit League Basketball Enters Home Stretch Halfway point of conference season provides insights for March

The Summit League playoff picture is cloudy, but all roads appear to lead to an all-South Dakota final.

Thomas Evanella Staff Writer

The Summit League men’s basketball season has reached its halfway point, with every one of the eight teams having played at least seven conference games.

While the cream has risen to the top in the standings, a tight middle of the pack ought to make for an intriguing tournament in Sioux Falls from March 3 to 6.

South Dakota currently run the proceedings in the conference. South Dakota State and South Dakota represent the Mount Rushmore State at No. 1 and No. 2 in the standings, respectively.

It is anyone’s race for the No. 3 to No. 6 seeds, as only two games separate the four squads.

While South Dakota State appears poised to take their third consecutive Summit League title back to Brookings, all eight members of the conference are capable of making a run.

Here are The Spectrum’s midseason Summit League progress reports.

Coyotes, who made a statement in defeating the Jackrabbits by 19 points. Three days later though, they lost to Denver by 16. Not to be undersold, USD did put a scare into UCLA in the non-conference schedule. Matt Mooney’s 17.7 points per game rank fifth in the conference, and Trey Burch-Manning anchors the defense for a team that has the conference’s best marks in opponent field goal and three-point percentage.

North Dakota State Bison (12-10, 4-3 SL)

Ranked third in the Summit League, the Bison lead the midsection of the conference. NDSU’s conference slate got off to a rough start, as they dipped below .500 in conference action for the first time since 2016. The Bison have since rebounded and count a win in Vermillion amongst their notable contests of the season. Senior guard Paul Miller is setting the conference alight, increasing his season points per game mark in every game since Dec. 18.

Their in-state rival South Dakota gave the blueprint of how to knock off the Jacks, even in spite of Mike Daum’s 18-point, 14-rebound performance.

The Coyotes put the clamps on the Summit League’s top offense, limiting them to 68 points. Still, with Daum leading the offense alongside Reed Tellinghuisen and emerging freshman David Jenkins, SDSU will be a tough out.

The Pioneers have shown themselves capable of grinding down opponents, as evidenced by victories over South Dakota and North Dakota State, and four of their final six games are in the Mile High City, giving Denver a shot at a push for the No. 3 seed.

struggling from distance. He leads an offense that ranks second in the conference in scoring. Fort Wayne is a volume shooting team, leading the conference in both field goal and three-point attempts. This leaves them sitting seventh in percentage in both categories, which would make a first-round matchup with Denver a major challenge.

Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (9-15, 3-4 SL)

The Golden Eagles ripped off three home triumphs to begin conference play, then proceeded to lose the following four games to teams ahead of them in the standings. Three consistent starters average 10 or more points per game, and Albert Owens causes problems off the bench. The offense runs through Emmanuel Nzekwesi, who tops the Golden Eagles with 13.3 points per game. The lack of a quality conference win is cause for skepticism, however.

Omaha Mavericks (716, 2-4 SL)

As the No. 7 seed in the Summit League, the Mavericks have their work cut out for them if they are to rise in the standings. Their defense has been abysmal, allowing opponents to score 83.8 points per game and shoot 47.2 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from beyond the arc. All three marks are in the Summit League basement. Their roster consists of six freshmen and five seniors, an uneasy BRITTANY HOFMANN | THE SPECTRUM balance.
