Higher Ed

Committee

Discusses Security, Safety Jack Dura

Casey McCarty Co-News Editor

Campus security, safety and research were focus points of Tuesday’s meeting at the higher education committee in the Memorial Union’s Prairie Rose room.

The meeting brought together representatives of the state senate, North Dakota University System, North Dakota State University, the University of North Dakota and local media. Rep. Mark Sanford (R-Grand Forks) chaired the meeting and said it had “three components” of the afternoon session.

These components included “reports required by the legislature,” a look at NDSU’s research enterprise and a tour of campus.

The tour of campus, Sanford said, would show the committee “the A and the Z of the alphabet of facilities we’ll look at today.”

Hilary Brodeur, campus tour guide and 2014-15 student body vice president, said the STEM building and Dunbar Hall were to be showcased as “the A and the Z” of NDSU’s facilities.

Provost: Due to

$1 BILLION SHORTFALL in slumping oil and ag, NDSU must cut

$6.4 MILLION for 2015-17 biennium

Security Measures

Head News Editor

North Dakota’s oil boom is over, and North Dakota State will be feeling the burn.

In an email to campus Monday, Provost Beth Ingram said NDSU will “use one-time savings to the greatest extent possible” to approach the $6.4 million in spending cuts ordered by North Dakota University System chancellor Mark Hagerott.

A 4.05 percent budget reduction, or allotment, will affect all state agencies, Ingram said, a move that will save the state $245 million through the 2015-17 biennium, Gov. Jack Dalrymple ordered Monday.

“In broad strokes, the Chancellor has directed us to scrutinize spending in particular categories, including hiring, travel, and equipment purchases; to consider shared services that yield efficiencies; to evaluate efficiencies in course delivery, specifically annual faculty course loads; and to prioritize building repairs and maintenance based on safety and well-being,”

Ingram wrote.

“We cannot consider increasing tuition or fees to offset the budget allotment.”

Delays, evaluations

Dropping oil prices over the last year are largely to blame for the $1 billion-plus shortfall, along with declining farm commodity prices. In late January, North Dakota sweet crude hit $17.25 a barrel, as Flint Hills Resources found. The state’s oil hit a high in July 2008 with $136.29 a barrel.

To manage its allotment, NDSU will delay and evaluate funding in a number of ways, Ingram said.

The university will delay funding for its Grand Challenge Initiative, a research program, until fall 2017.

“We will continue to evaluate the final proposals and to plan the activities associated with those proposals, but no money will be allocated to permanent expenses such as hiring faculty until (fall 2017),” Ingram wrote.

NDSU will also intensify its review process in hiring requests for faculty and staff, as well as

“We plan to communicate regularly with campus about this evolving situation, and ask for both our patience and guidance as we move forward.”

- Provost Beth Ingram evaluate “shared service” across campus.

The university will also reduce spending on some centrally funded professional development activities and follow all forthcoming “directives and stipulations” from Hagerott and the State Board of Higher Education.

“We will also be creating a study group comprised of faculty, staff and students to provide guidance in the event of more permanent budget adjustments,” Ingram wrote.

Plan B

Ingram added she will work with campus vice presidents to review a budget plan to be submitted

by Feb. 11 to NDUS. “We plan to communicate regularly with campus about this evolving situation, and ask for both your patience and guidance as we move

forward,” Ingram wrote.

Student body president Eric McDaniel declined to comment on the budget shortfall but said in email, “As Provost Ingram said in her email, all ND universities have until Feb. 11 to submit their new budget plan including the increase. Until then no one really knows how it will effect (sic) NDSU for the rest of this biennium.”

Untouched funds

Despite North Dakota’s burgeoning oil revenue in recent years, the shortfall form the slump in the state’s energy sector was unseen.

The $14.4 billion budget set at the start of the new fiscal year July 1 was constructed around economic assumptions that have slumped, “much greater than anyone would have predicted,” Dalrymple told state officials Monday in Bismarck, the Bismarck

Tribune reported.

“After 15 years of receiving almost entirely good news about the growth in revenues for North Dakota, it seems strange to hear that things have gone in the other direction,” the governor said.

Despite a $1 billion shortfall in its budget, North Dakota still has its $3.5 billion Legacy Fund, a reserve of capital derived from oil revenues and approved by voters in 2010.

The Legacy Fund cannot be touched until 2017.

However, Dalrymple will utilize near half a billion dollars from the state’s Budget Stabilization Fund, another reserve of funds generated from oil revenue.

Dalrymple’s tap will leave about $75 million in the fund, the Tribune reported.

North Dakota also has more reserve funds in $875 million in various other accounts, state budget director Pam Sharp told the Tribune.

Guidelines for the 2017-19 state budget will be likely be issued in April.

NDUS CFO Tammy Dolan, who started in November, presented first on security and safety measures at various NDUS institutions.

Her presentation included a report on 2015-17 campus security funding and the $3 million provided to a campus pool for campus security.

Dolan said a survey “done of students to determine students’ needs” identified surveillance, cameras, card access, building walking issues and light on campus as main needs of students.

“Each campus got money in proportion to their requests,” Dolan said.

Following her presentation, Dolan addressed questions from the committee, which ranged from spending to North Dakota’s recent budget shortfall affecting campus security.

“I believe that all the campuses would prioritize students’ safety and security above most things,” Dolan said.

Dolan added she would submit requested reports and numbers to the committee she did not have available Tuesday.

Mike Borr, NDSU police director, and Brodeur presented on the Pathlight app, a safety escort app the university fully implemented April 20.

Brodeur provided a student perspective on the app while Borr elaborated on the app integrating students’ Bison cards as a nice feature.

Program Changes at Concordia College Eliminate Nine Majors, One Concentration Moorhead college targets $2.7M in cutting costs, new revenue Hailey Colbrunn

The Aquatic Center is set to be completed by fall 2016. It will include male, female and gender neutral bathrooms.

Contributing Writer

As North Dakota State prepares to cut its budget by over 4 percent, across the river, Concordia College has slashed nine majors and one concentration.

The Forum reported the Moorhead private college reviewed which programs had experienced enrollment declines in the process of deciding which programs to cut. The college also considered how to align its budget with “the majors for which there is the most evidence of demand from current and future students.”

To balance its budget, Concordia has a target of $2.7 million in cutting costs and new revenue so it can balance its budget and cover annual salary increases, The Forum reported. The university will also offer veteran faculty early retirements as an incentive to save money.

Concordia cut majors of classical studies, classics, Latin, Latin education, French, French education, German, health, humanities and its concentration in Scandinavian studies.

Thirty-eight students are enrolled in these majors with 12 set to graduate in spring. Concordia’s total enrollment was 2,162 students for fall 2015, the college reported.

Two of Concordia’s language programs, Latin and Norwegian, are not offered at NDSU or Moorhead State University Moorhead.

North Dakota State is adding more gender-neutral facilities in new buildings and in renovations being done to existing buildings.

The gender-neutral bathrooms allow access to students who identify as the opposite gender from what they were born as, along with those going through gender reassignment or are pursuing gender reassignment. The STEM building contains two gender-neutral bathrooms.

A majority of halls across campus contain at least one gender-neutral restroom, and residence halls contain gender-neutral facilities.

In 2011, Residence Life implemented a diversity committee initiative that was to transition 15 bathrooms in residence halls to gender-neutral restrooms. NDSU also provides a Google map that students can use to see where gender-neutral facilities are located so they can find the facilities they want.

The Wellness Center says it is committed to providing a safe and

inclusive environment, and there are some guidelines already in effect to help people to feel comfortable.

One of those is that anyone shall have access to the locker room and restroom facilities that corresponds to their gender identity and gender presentation. For those students who are pursuing gender reassignment, or are in the process of gender reassignment, gender-neutral facilities are advised until the gender presentation reflects the gender identity of the individual.

The movement has been met with mixed reactions.

Samantha Doeden, a freshman in interior design, said gender-neutral facilities “should be placed in various places” and be available, but not all facilities should be genderneutral.

Ann Burnett, head of woman and gender studies, said that “the Aquatic Center is being progressive” by including for genderneutral bathrooms.

“It’s unfortunate that some cisgender people have such trouble with others who wish to use the bathroom that matches their

gender,” Burnett said.

Kara Gravley-Stack, director of diversity initiatives and coordinator of LGBTQ programs, told The Spectrum last fall that the Aquatic Center is “creating a safe and inclusive space for all members” on campus. The gender-neutral facilities will be single occupancy and will be open to all, as the facilities will be able to provide privacy.

Gravley-Stack also told The Spectrum that NDSU has “seen an increasing number of transgender students who wish to be active and fully participate in college life.”

Corinna Evoniuk, a freshman in criminal justice, said, “It’s all about an individual’s comfort.”

Miranda Pautzke, a freshman in English education, said, “Change is in the air, and people are feeling more and more comfortable with being who they truly are,” demonstrating how the majority of students are becoming more open to gender-inclusive facilities.

The Aquatic Center is poised to open in fall 2016.

HIGHER EDUCATION | FRONT “Everything ties back to that one ID system,” Borr said, adding that 400 students have downloaded and installed the app on their phone.

That number drew scrutiny from Rep. Thomas Beadle (R-Fargo), who said, “You might wanna tweak your sales pitch when only 400 students signed up.”

“That’s a fair point,” Borr replied.

Safety features

NDUS interim chief of staff Lisa Feldner presented on four topics, the first discussing campus police jurisdiction.

The case of Kroschel v. Levi last year ruled that “a North Dakota State University police officer is without authority to arrest a driver operating a motor vehicle outside university property.”

Morgan Kroschel, then a sophomore, was arrested by NDSU police officer Ryan Haskell outside NDSU’s campus. He had observed Kroschel “turn across a designated turn lane rather than enter a travel lane.”

He arrested her for driving under the influence of alcohol.

Other issues of jurisdiction came up in Tuesday’s meeting, including Sen. Carolyn Nelson’s (D-Fargo) inquiry of who has jurisdiction on campus property within the immediate vicinity of NDSU. “The city has jurisdiction,” Feldner said, but the city “can call campus.”

Nelson’s question referenced the fall 2014 rape of two international

students at the Bison Arms Apartment, which stands 121 feet from NDSU’s campus.

Despite Feldner’s response, the matter is not totally resolved who will respond.

“When minutes matter, I think it’s best we have an integrated discussion on this,” said Sen. Tim Flakoll (R-Fargo).

80 terabytes of data, which she added would be useless unless it could be analyzed.

The data from the UAV program woould be collected at the Center for Computationally Assisted Science and Technology.

Streyle asked why CCAST is at NDSU and not at a state facility set aside for the research.

Rusch said that money left over from earmarks authorized by congress would have had to get approval from congress, or NDSU would have to give $8 million back.

NDSU Explore shows off undergrad research, Rusch said, adding that seven students from four projects have been invited to present their research on a national level.

Maricelis Acevedo, assistant professor in the department of AES plant pathology, also presented information about the research she has been conducting about wheat rust resistance and preserving the quality of wheat.

Acevedo also added that though the industry may not be ready for it now, NDSU is staying up with GMO food technology for future research.

Rusch added the research of Chad Ulven, an associate mechanical engineering professor, has been researching ways to take agricultural waste and turn it into bioplastics.

Rusch said that though federal funding for research has been dropping, NDSU research investment has been increasing, adding that for every dollar invested by the state into NDSU there are about $7.80 returned on investment.

Research Enterprise and NDSU

Kelly Rusch, vice president for research and creative activity, presented information on NDSU research.

Rusch highlighted that NDSU is looking at researching solutions to three grand challenges, including food systems and security, a healthy population and a sustainable environment.

Rusch also presented NDSU’s research data involving big data and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Rusch said NDSU researchers use one of six FAA test sites in the country to test and research with UAVs. The research conducted with the six UAVs operated

by NDSU is centered upon precision agriculture, she said.

Rep. Roscoe Streyle (R-Minot) asked whether or not there is collaboration between UND and NDSU with UAV technology to which Rusch said there was some.

She added that as of now, both campuses have used UAVs for wildlife research, and there may be more collaboration on other projects down the line.

Rusch said that the UAV program will collect

New App Combats Sexual Assault

Monday morning brought hoarfrost to campus, clinging to windows, statues, cars and the North Weible volleyball net. Hoarfrost is the deposition of ice crystals formed on objects that have been chilled to 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

The interlocking ice crystals can form in the shapes of spines, feathers and needles and can be found on any object exposed to supersaturated air below freezing.

Hoarfrost can be confused with rime, which forms from freezing fog or glaze created as a layer of ice instead of frozen water droplets.

When you’re meeting a prospective employer, going to an interview or starting your professional career, what you wear plays a big part in both how you are perceived and how you feel. With the Career Expo coming Tuesday and Wednesday, it’s a good time to master the art of career dressing.

Let’s start with a common area of confusion: the difference between business casual and business professional.

Business casual is actually more “business” than “casual.” That means wearing khakis or slacks, a dress shirt, loafers and an optional tie. Business professional (also called business formal) dress calls for a suit, dress shirt and tie. You can adhere to either one of these dress codes for the career expo, but for an interview, you should dress in your business professional best.

When it comes to suits, fit and styling can make or break your look. Wearing a suit too big is one of the most common mistakes men make. Even if you buy a suit that fits fairly well, you still might need to take it to a tailor to get it altered so that it fits you perfectly in all places. The shoulder seam of the jacket should

“Show personality through the details.” - Gavin Doppler, Halberstadt’s sales associate line up with the edge of your shoulder. If you’re unsure of exactly where that is, lift your arm up to the side and find the slight dip that forms at the shoulder edge.

Sleeve cuffs should hit right where your palm starts when your arms are hanging at your sides.

Make sure the collar and cuffs of the dress shirt peek out from the jacket a bit; a half-inch for cuffs and a half to 1 inch for the collar is a general guideline, but it varies depending on the style of shirt. Button only the top button on your suit jacket, but unbutton it whenever you sit down.

When buttoned, the jacket should fit but not be so tight that it strains, pulling at the buttons and fabric. The tip of the tie should end somewhere between the top and middle of your belt buckle.

Where the hem of your pants hits depends on the style of suit you choose.

Traditionally, the back of the hem should touch the top of the sole of your shoe and have a slight break in the front. With contemporary slim fit suits, the hem looks best if it skims the top of the shoe by your ankle. In general, if the

hem falls between the top of the shoe and top of the sole, you should be safe.

The Halberstadt’s sales associates recommend wearing a navy blue or charcoal gray suit to an interview because black can look a bit overkill unless the interview is at a very serious and traditional company. Under your suit, wear a solid white shirt and a colored tie in a subtle print. For shoes, choose polished lace up oxfords instead of loafers, which can look too casual, and always match them to your belt.

North Dakota State Career Center director Jill Wilkey agrees with Halberstadt’s recommendation of staying away from bright or flashy shirts and ties for an interview.

“You don’t want a signature statement to precede you,” she says.

Wilkey also advises students who don’t want to invest in a suit or other professional attire for an interview or career fair to utilize the Career Center’s Career Closet. Just call or stop in to make an appointment, and they will lend you everything you need for free.

NoDak Moment|

The Gentleman’s Guide to Career Dressing

Following professional dress rules is important, but adding your own style to an outfit can set you apart from other job candidates and show an interviewer who you are.

“You need to understand the industry you’re interviewing with,” Wilkey says. For certain companies, you should be conservative when interviewing, but in more creative fields, they are expecting you to show your individuality.

“Show personality through the details,” says Gavin Doppler, a sales associate at Halberstadt’s.

“That can make the difference between getting that call back or not.”

You can add those details via a pocket square, lapel pin, tie clip, watch or cufflinks. Another fun way to add a touch of style to your outfit is sporting a pair of patterned socks.

Traditionally, your socks should match the color of your pants, but you can coordinate them with the colors in your shirt and tie for a more creative look.

Little touches like that can act as conversation starters that set you apart and get your future employer to remember you.

This is the first installment of a two-part guide to professional dressing. See The Spectrum on Monday for a woman’s career dressing guide.

The Man Camps

Workforce housing, or man camps, still line the city limits of Watford City, N.D., where some camps serve travelers, tourists and workers alike.

Jack Dura

Spectrum Staff

North Dakota’s oil boom in the mid-2000s triggered a rush of growth in the state’s western region. An explosion of people and traffic exhausted western North Dakota’s towns and roads, leading to housing woes, overworked infrastructure and rising crime. Williston, the city at the heart of the oil-rich Bakken region, swelled from 12,000 people in 2000 to over 33,000 by 2014.

The city’s limits tripled in

size by 2013.

To combat the Bakken’s housing shortage, civic leaders and oil companies chose a short-term solution that lasts to this day: workforce housing, or man camps. Bunker-style, identical units began to cover the outer limits of cities like Williston and Watford City as subdivisions and apartment complexes went up. Water and sewer systems had to be dug as well, forcing Williston and Watford City to rack up millions of dollars in debt to finance new infrastructure.

EMILY BEAMAN | THE SPECTRUM

For the workers who came to North Dakota’s Bakken region, man camps proved to be one of the few options for housing. The camps bred loneliness and boredom as many workers lived away from their families. Meeting women also proved hard in west Dakota counties, where three years ago, the New York Times reported 1.6 young, single men for every young, single woman.

Violence came with the man camps too. A Michigan man stabbed his lifelong friend to death in a Tioga camp in 2013. A Texas man

shot two people, killing one of them in another Tioga man camp in 2012.

Last year’s slumping oil prices hit the Bakken region hard as rig counts dropped drastically and workers lost their jobs. The decline also hit the man camps.

Operating permits for 23 man camps in Mountrail County expired last year, and only five applied for renewal. Man camps beds in Williston totaled 3,000 last fall, up to 70 percent of which were occupied.

Target Logistics, a housing business, set a goal in early 2012 to “house 1 percent of

North Dakota’s population” by the end of that year.

North Dakota sweet crude hit an all-time high of $136.29 a barrel in summer 2008; prices last month stood at $17.25 a barrel, as Flint Hills Resources reported.

The hardest hit to North Dakota’s man camps came late last year when the Williston City Commission approved an ordinance denying occupancy permits to man camps beyond July 2016.

“The man camp industry should understand we allowed them to come here

on a temporary basis,” Williston Mayor Howard Klug told Reuters, adding the city may make an amendment allowing some man camps to keep functioning.

With new developments and apartments, Williston city leaders said they want workers to put their roots down in Williston, something man camps can’t offer.

“The reason for them has gone away,” Mountrail County’s planning administrator told the Bismarck Tribune last fall.

Little International Celebrates 90 Years S&S to honor long-time swine barn manager

Kelsey Dirks Features Editor

to start working on their animals. It was not until January that the sheep and swine showmen got their animals. After they wash and brush the animals, contestants are judged based on how well their animal behaves while they walk them around Shepperd Arena.

Each year the Little “I” will honor an Agriculturist of the Year. This year the award will be going to Ron Zimprich, who has been involved with the NDSU agriculture program for nearly 45 years and has been the NDSU swine barn manager for equally as long.

This year’s theme is

“Decades of Dedication.”

The Saddle & Sirloin Club members have put in hours of their time and sweat into making this year’s Little “I” the best one yet.

Not only will the showmanship events include classes of beef, dairy, sheep and swine as well as ham curing and public speaking, there will be a Ham Curing Auction, a 50/50 raffle and a Silent Auction.

“Total, there are about 300 members involved, about 150 showmen, 60 ham curing contestants (and) 20 public speaking contestants,” says Lemm.

Elli Lemm proudly displays her cured ham.

A landmark birthday will be held on campus next week.

“The Little International Livestock Show is the largest student-run event on the NDSU campus, involving over 300 students,” says Saddle & Sirloin secretary Elli Lemm.

The event, known as Little “I,” is a two-day event taking place Feb. 12 and 13. This family-friendly occasion with a variety of events is open to the public.

At 5 p.m. in Avalon West Events Center, there

will be a Hall of Fame Social followed by the banquet. The festivities will continue the following day starting at 8 a.m. in Sheppered Arena. It will be a day full of showmanship events and a night of dancing. The Showmanship shows consist of four species — beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine and sheep.

There are about 10 contestants for each species.

“Showmanship in general is how the person ‘showman’ is able to show the animal,” says Lemm.

Each participant signed up animals back in November.

A while back, over Thanksgiving actually, a family member was asking me about my “Pinterest Interest” column. During our conversation, it came to my attention that maybe not everyone knows what Pinterest is; let alone how to use it.

I figured now would be a great time to give readers a little overview of what the Pinterest world entails

and what the site has to offer. More importantly, it’s also a great time to address a common misconception about this social media site; Pinterest is not just for girly girls.

Boys, I’m sure you’re used to rolling your eyes when you see the girl in front of you in a lecture scrolling through pictures of wedding dresses and landscapes pasted with quotes about “finding yourself.”

I get it.

You might be thinking

the entire site reeks of estrogen and that it couldn’t have anything to offer for such a manly man as yourself.

Think again.

Sure, Pinterest might be a swapping site for hundreds of DIY projectsww, makeup and hair ideas and cupcake recipes, but I’m here to tell you that there are over 30 Pinterest categories that will in no way cause you to grow breasts and shave your leg hair.

With Valentine’s Day

right around the corner, Pinterest is one of the best places to look for ideas to woo your partner.

Let’s take a peek at a few of the more masculine categories:

Cars and Motorcycles

This category offers some great tips for vehicle maintenance and car buying. It’s also the place to go anytime you feel like looking at a bunch of pictures of cars and other toys you can’t afford as a college student.

Weiss Chiropractic Clinic

“Your chiropractic home away from home”

Health and Fitness

Sports

Another category used by men and women alike.

Check it out when you’re looking for healthy food options that won’t break the budget and even some workout advice.

Humor

Who doesn’t love and appreciate a good meme?

Take a break from your studies and work some laughter into your study break, then pin them to your boards so you can be sure to show all of your friends later.

Look no further for sports articles, merchandise, quotes and more. This is also a great way to stalk and fan-girl over your favorite athlete.

What I want to stress more than anything else is that apps have no gender.

Anyone can enjoy and make use of each of the many categories of Pinterest.

So to anyone who has felt like using Pinterest would somehow take away from his or her masculinity, no worries — there’s something for everyone.

‘Hysterical Sublime’ Draws to a Close

Collection of data-inspired artwork receives recognition

Jack Hastings A&E Editor

The gallery is abuzz with conversations and the bustling of the crowd.

Echoes from across the room reach to every corner, giving the feeling that one is observing the art in the company of someone else.

The Memorial Union Gallery’s “Hysterical Sublime” collection came to a close Thursday. The closing reception featured talks from the artists themselves on their process, intention and technique behind their creations.

The exhibition, which has been running since

mid-December, showcased the work student artists in advanced photography and digital media. The primary goal of the presented work was to analyze and interpret how we interact with technology through various media.

Each collection of art was stark and singular against the walls, yet the overarching theme of the exhibition united them all as one cohesive piece.

Although each piece was composed of different mediums represented very different subject matter, the feeling of connection was not severed.

One of the first artists to present was Derek

Hatzenbuhler, whose piece entitled “24 Hours” centered around missing persons and the locations from which they disappeared.

“Each image is supposed to represent a place that an individual went missing. A lot of them went missing 20 to 30 years ago. I always thought it was an interesting concept,” Hatzenbuhler said.

The project was presented through a series of four images accompanied by a slideshow showing photographs of the place where the missing disappeared. A feeling of nostalgia was furthered by a yellowish hue applied to each of the photographs.

Packed with emotion and unease, this piece, along with its yellow tinge, inspired a feeling of paranoia as if any place could be the last one that you would see.

A similar feeling was instilled by the rest of the exhibition. As a whole, the cohesiveness of the collection gave the audience a further appreciation for the mundane world that would normally be taken for granted.

In one of the digital media pieces, artist Nicholas Reitan used social media as a mode of storytelling, YouTube in particular.

Reitan took screen captures from successful YouTube personality Troye Sivan’s videos and averaged out the colors, creating a visual digital footprint.

“They are in chronological order; it essentially creates a timeline of the color change throughout all of his videos, present day to past. It’s more so like a digital tree ring,” Reitan elaborated.

Many works focused on how the natural world coexists with the digital world humans have created.

This was done through overlaying GPS information over a physical map or people overlaid with an

image of their favorite place.

The presence of technology along with human elements in the artists’ work lent an intangible quality to each piece along with an aspect of familiarity. The students were more than proficient in finding ways to explore this topic through images based in data.

Now in the Memorial Union Gallery, the Fargo Moorhead Visual Artists members are displaying the works of their juried exhibition which will run until March 3.

FLICKS From Young Love to the Undead Andrew Fugleberg Contributing Writer

The Choice

What happens when another Nicholas Sparks book is set to film? We’ll find out when this movie releases this Friday.

“The Choice” follows Gabby, a fiery and independent medical student who moves in next door to Travis, a suave ladies’ man who thinks being held down in a relationship would be a nuisance. However, Travis’

bachelor hopes are dashed when he inevitably falls in love with her.

This love story isn’t so simple however. Puppies, jealousy and a severe medical scare are thrown into the mix to make this a tear-jerking, “The Notebook”-esque love story.

Hail, Caesar!

In one of the most surprising movies of the year, George Clooney, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill all combine forces in this star powered comedy releasing

February 5.

The movie revolves around one of the world’s largest movie stars, Baird Whitlock (Clooney) getting kidnapped by a group known as “The Future,” who demand a ransom of $100,000 (granted, this is the 1950s.) Several other actors working for the same company as Baird (Johansson and Tatum) assist in heroically saving Mr. Whitlock.

This film, directed by the Coen Brothers, is the duo’s first since “Inside Llewyn

Davis” (2013) and “True Grit” (2010).

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

In this contemporary retelling of a literary classic, the undead are taking over 19th-century England in this film debuting also on Friday.

Much like the original novel “Pride and Prejudice,” the film follows Elizabeth Bennet and her relationship with the arrogant Mr. Darcy.

However, now Elizabeth is a martial arts expert with strong skills in weaponry

who has been training her entire life. Mr. Darcy is equally adept at combat, allowing him and Elizabeth to take down whatever stands in their way.

Viewers should enjoy the image of strong females taking the spotlight, iconically wearing high fashion dresses while destroying zombies.

The Help

Kicking off Black History Month, this weekend the Memorial Union will be showing the movie “The Help.”

Set in the racist atmosphere of 1960s Mississippi, a young girl named Skeeter (Emma Stone) interviews the black women who have worked for rich white families their entire lives. During this process, Skeeter learns that the maids have a lot to say about their struggles and the world around them.

Praised for its outstanding acting and uplifting moments, those who see this movie should walk out of the Century Theater with no regrets.

NDSU Improv team strong as ever

REVIEW

Andrew Fugleberg Contributing Writer

NDSU’s improv group had its second show of the semester last weekend, and they did not lose any momentum.

To Be Determined put on the show, which had both short-form and long-form improvisation, was held in the Arikara room of the Memorial Union. This new location, much different from the theater they used the week prior, was a much smaller space with more of a bare-bones feel.

The venue was absolutely packed. Every seat was taken well before the actors adorned the stage, and there was no shortage

of people sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall.

The smaller, strippeddown room allowed the actors not in the scene to have a more interactive role with the audience. It was fun not only watching the scene, but also seeing the other performers laugh, roll their eyes and bang the wall in delight.

The night started off with short-form improv, which included quick little games that were usually played by a few actors. From games like “Building Blocks” where actors would find a creative way to enter and exit the scene, to “Director’s Cut” where a scene would be done and then critiqued by a director.

These fun little games

kept the audience’s attention. One advantage of short-form improv is that the shorter scenes keep the audience on its toes in the ever-changing atmosphere.

Once the short-form was completed, the group moved onto the more difficult portion: long-form.

For long-form, all the actors worked together to form cohesive scenes with hilarious punchlines. Actors could be substituted in any given scene or the whole scene could be wiped away at any time, but the ball had to keep rolling.

Despite the fact that there were lulls where it was obvious the performers were fishing for ideas, it always picked up in a relatively seamless fashion.

This weekend’s festival featured 18 pieces by seven composers, including J.S. Bach and Antonio Vivaldi.

If It Ain’t Baroque ...

NDSU Baroque Festival reinvigorates an era Christian Weber Contributing Writer

This weekend, members of the North Dakota State Baroque Festival Orchestra enlivened a bygone era.

Arguably the most influential Western musical period, the Baroque era began in the early 17th century and concluded in the mid-18th century.

Several renowned Western composers, including J.S. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi and G.F. Handel, performed and composed during this era.

Baroque music is known for its lively, complex and often challenging structure, which makes it intimidating but especially rewarding to experienced musicians.

The 2016 NDSU Baroque Festival began with an evening performance on Saturday at Peace Lutheran Church.

Student musicians, occasionally accompanied by faculty members, performed eight iconic Baroque pieces, including

“Baroque music is known for its lively, complex and often challenging structure, which makes it intimidating but especially rewarding to experienced musicians.”

“Bess of Bedlam” by Henry Purcell and “People, Believe This Grace Now”

by J.S. Bach.

All compositions apart from “Bess of Bedlam” were, rather unsurprisingly, written by Bach, who is considered one of the most prolific composers of the era. The musical diversity of the selections more than made up for the lack of variety.

Each student musician showed an extraordinary talent, certainly worthy of the difficult material.

The festival concluded with an afternoon performance on Sunday, also at Peace Lutheran.

Both faculty members and students performed ten additional pieces by six composers, most notably the third movement of Bach’s second Brandenburg

Concerto and Vivaldi’s “Magnificat.”

Additionally, the performance featured the NDSU Faculty Brass Quintet and the NDSU Saxophone Quartet.

Much like Saturday’s performance, Sunday’s showcased the remarkable abilities of NDSU’s student and faculty musicians. Baroque music is infamously difficult, but they make it sound easy.

Many well-known musical genres arose and developed during the Baroque period, including the opera, the cantata and the concerto. To many historians and critics, Baroque music represents the foundation of both subsequent musical periods and more recent genres, such as jazz.

White Privilege is Alive and Well in America An Example of White Privilege in the 21st Century

Alen Fejzic

Contributing Writer

Some believe white privilege is nonexistent, or that it is used as a scapegoat by those that are not successful and do not want to take responsibility for their failures. Contrary to this belief, white privilege is alive and well in this country. A prime example is the “peaceful protester occupation” of the wild life sanctuary on Oregon.

An example of white privilege regarding this situation was apparent from the get-go. If these “peaceful” armed protesters would have been Muslim, they would have been labeled as terrorist or if

they were Black, they would have been labeled as “thugs.”

However, I will not focus on mere semantics to support the reality of white privilege in this country. No, I will use the tragic even that took place last week when authorities arrested the leaders of the “militia” who were occupying the sanctuary.

LaVoy Finicum, the famous “Tarp Man,” was shot and killed by law enforcement officers during an attempt to arrest the militia leaders. I refer any incident that involves the loss of life as a tragedy, regardless of differing opinions between myself and those that have died.

However, this is a prime example of white privilege in America.

Finicum was interviewed by reporters during the “occupation” and earned the nickname of Tarp Man for using a blue tarp as form of

concealment. Finicum also made statements such as willing to die before seeing a jail cell, willing to do harm to anyone government official that would dare try to stop him or the militia and so on.

Law enforcement officers shot Finicum after he blew past a roadblock and tried to run from the officers. The officers say that they shot Finicum after he had reached for a firearm.

White privilege played a huge role following the unfortunate death of Finicum. Right after Finicum was shot, fellow militants posted online that Finicum was unjustly shot by law enforcement officers when he had his hands in the air. Some went as far as to claim that Finicum was executed or assassinated by the law enforcement officers.

The reason that this is a prime example of white privilege in America is

because when a minority is killed by law enforcement officers, the officers are usually given the benefit that the killing was justified.

For example, in the deaths of Brown, Rice and Garner, or the death of Martin at the hand of Zimmerman, Zimmerman was given the benefit that he was justified in shooting Martin.

Just a reminder: Brown was shot and killed by an officer after he had raised his hands to surrender after robbing a convenience store; according to eyewitness accounts, Rice was shot within second of officers arriving on the scene after 911 was called about a kid playing with a toy gun; Garner died due to a chokehold for selling untaxed cigarettes in NYC and Martin was shot by Zimmerman for looking suspicious.

In the previously mentioned events, there would have been no justification for the use

of lethal force on Brown, Garner or Martin on the basis of being in possession of a lethal weapon.

However, the officers and Zimmerman were given the benefit that they acted accordingly.

In the case of Finicum, a man who has made such statements that he was willing to kill law enforcement officers, die before allowing the authorities to arrest him and was believed to be armed and dangerous, some people are willing to believe that the cops would have been less justified in shooting Finicum than in the previously mentioned people.

They main difference between Finicum and Garner, Rice, Martin, and Brown is that Finicum is white.

The other four deceased were black.

Yet, the militia supporters are more likely to believe that the deaths

of Martin, Brown, Rice and Garner are much more justifiable than the death of Finicum.

The question that we need to ask ourselves is why? Finicum specifically made antigovernment statements, threats directed at law enforcement officials and had the means to carry out those threats, but yet is viewed as the victim.

Even when the FBI released footage of the shooting (relatively quickly following the incident as compared to other incidents), which shows Finicum reaching for a weapon, people did not believe it to be true.

The prime example of white privilege in this country is that when a minority is killed by law enforcement officials, the burden of proof falls on the victims and their families.

When a white person gets shot, however, the burden of proof falls on the government.

Bill Cosby is Not Dr. Cliff Huxtable Bill Cosby’s victims deserve justice

Erik Jonasson II Opinion Editor

FLICKR.COM | PHOTO COURTESY

Bill Cosby in 2011 wearing a Temple University Sweatshirt, where he allegedly sexually assaulted Andrea Constand in 2004.

Sometimes the good guy gets put into jail. Sometimes the bad guy gets away. Our justice system is imperfect.

In the mist of all of the chaos I think we must think, and we must remember, what the actual issues are.

Bill Cosby is a rapist.

It isn’t hard to find people defending Cosby. He was “America’s Dad” for many years with his sitcom.

The problem with that though is that no matter how fatherly you are, you can’t get away with rape.

Bill Cosby’s rape allegations stretch back to 1965, which includes somewhere around 60 accusers.

Bill Cosby is not Cliff Huxtable. He is not “America’s father” anymore; rather he is a 78-year-old man, who should have been in jail years ago. He has been allowed to walk around free, which is a joke.

My personal belief is

that people are too ignorant to accept the truth. In a recent article, rapper R. Kelly defended Cosby, saying, “When you wait 70 years, 50 years, 40 years, to say something that simple, it’s strange.” R. Kelly, if you can remember, was found not guilt of 14 counts on child pornography in 2002.

We can find more examples, including a New York Post by Andrea Peyser, who says, “I have my doubts,” chalking up all the rape allegations to “high-pressure seduction.”

She claims that he is only be charged thanks to “today’s feminist-written definition of rape.” Things are not like they were in the olden days where a woman would just “have to live with her stupid decision.”

The question always comes back to, why wait?

I have never been raped.

I don’t have any room to judge their feelings and actions. If it was one person would be one thing, but come on guys, there are close to 60. Stop defending a monster.

It seems like a pretty fair and honest thing to me to take rape allegations seriously. A person isn’t going to fake years of repression. A person isn’t going to go find a group of people to form a conspiracy,

and any evidence of this would for sure be the outlier.

Victims are victims. It is plain and simple. You cannot degrade them. You cannot forget their story.

You cannot berate them as “gold diggers,” as “liars” or as “spotlight chasers.”

Another high profile rape allegation is the case of Jameis Winston. Again we find the same treatment.

Skip Bayless commented saying “How unfortunate it is for this young man.”

Skip Bayless and Stephan A. Smith would go on to bash Erica Kinsman on her timing, and alluded to other motives for the story.

Currently Bill Cosby’s lawyers are attempting to get his charges dropped due to a loophole. He cooperated in a civil suit in 2005, and according to Bruce Castor, that warranted a promise of never being charged.

Because that is how our justice system works.

As a nation we can learn a lot about us in this case.

We are a nation of doubters.

We doubt allegation when they are brought against our celebrities, our athletes, and our actors. Hopefully this changes; hopefully in the future this is different.

Though, in 2016 it is obvious, things haven’t changed as much as we would hope.

Be Mindful of Our Tribal Natures

Any system of ethics that ignores our tribal natures is flawed

Matt Frohlich Staff Writer

We may have abandoned our clubs and spears from civilized life millennia ago, but tribalism still remains an intrinsic part of human nature.

Humans are social creatures who naturally congregate into tribes based

on shared characteristics.

Any system of ethics that does not acknowledge this is flawed.

Tribalism is responsible for some of the best and worst actions of humanity.

The same thing that motivates us to embark on humanitarian endeavors also motivates us to commit atrocities, like genocide.

An important aspect of tribalism is that people are naturally defensive of their tribe and antagonistic towards others. We commonly refer to this favoritism as “bias.”

An easy way to determine your tribal affiliation is to figure out

which tribes you enjoy criticizing (and vice versa).

It is not fun to criticize your own tribe, even if the criticism is warranted.

Likewise, it is fun to criticize rival tribes, even if the criticism is unfair.

In this case, tribes can include: families, political parties, religions, cultures, races, genders, or even people who listen to a certain type of music.

Tribalism is prominent in political and religious debates. When people debate politics and religion, oftentimes it is just as much about defending the honor of their tribe as it is about defending their beliefs.

Tribalism clouds our judgment and causes us to say and do many irrational things that go against our morals.

With all of the problems caused by tribalism, it may seem like a good idea to abandon it all together.

This is the solution that is promoted by modern day liberals.

Liberals want to water down tribal differences to the point where we are all operating as one unified tribe with the same system of ethics. Ironically, this in itself is a form of tribalism.

The problem with this solution is that it ignores the fact that people are

naturally hardwired to be tribal. It is essentially saying the solution to the problem is that the problem should not exist in the first place.

If we stopped being tribal, then we would no longer be human and it would be a completely different world with its own set of problems.

An alternative solution is that we should learn to tolerate other tribes, even if some of their behaviors offend us. Christians have been advocating this solution for 2,000 years.

The problem is that it is easier said than done, as tolerance goes against

human nature.

That is not to say the situation is hopeless, as many people become tolerant, especially as they get older. Just understand that it is difficult to maintain this state of mind.

Personally, I think tolerance is the best solution for dealing with our tribal differences. However, I understand that this also lends itself to abuse, as there are some behaviors that should not be tolerated.

Either way, we need to acknowledge that tribalism is an intrinsic part of human nature, and as such a certain degree of human conflict is inevitable.

THE SPECTRUM | OPINION | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2016

Student-focused? Try Athletics-focused Proposed athletic fee leaves NDSU’s priorities in question Meghan Battest Contributing Writer

Three years ago, North Dakota State lost one of its best engineering professors because they couldn’t pay him a competitive salary.

Two years ago, my pre-med roommate’s lab stopped operating for two weeks because there wasn’t enough money in its budget to pay for needed additional supplies.

This year, the pharmacy program is petitioning to get a Bio-Chem class removed from its curriculum because the professor is on probation and no one can pass the class due to her unfair grading practices and obscure teaching methods.

Yet this coming year, NDSU athletics plans to begin giving fullscholarship athletes an additional $3,400 because student-athletes don’t have time to hold down a parttime job (another topic for another time).

Yet three years ago, with only 18 percent of the student body casting a ballot, student government passed through an aquatic center that won’t be large enough to support an

NCAA swim team and will cost students an extra $113 per year.

During this same time, we as a student body are being asked to increase funding for athletics within a new student activity fee so that sports fans can have priority memberships once they are alums, club sports can work out in nicer facilities and our five-time national championship school can “be more competitive with comparable universities.”

While it must be understood that funding for professors’ salaries and science labs do not come out of student funds, the previous juxtapositions still show an important point.

NDSU has a bad habit of forcing the masses to pay for the interests of the few, and it needs to stop.

Let’s set up a little scenario here. Since we are also a land-grant, research facility, I have done a little research myself. I will estimate to the nearest hundred dollars to make this a bit easier to grasp.

NDSU’s enrollment was 14,500 students in Fall 2015. Of these, 12,000 were undergrads. Let’s focus on them.

Right now, the NDSU

“This is not a stance against being a Bison fan or against being an athlete. Those things are well and good (and even beneficial), but sitting in a position of power and of privilege is blinding student government and athletics to the greater good of the student body, instead allowing them to push past agendas that don’t truly benefit everyone.”

student section seats approximately 4,000 students. We can assume that these are the students who like going to sporting events and are avid Bison fans. Heck, let’s overestimate and say that number is 6,000 to include other sports that aren’t football.

In the event that all 12,000 students attending now are charged the additional $1.67 per credit (up to 12 credits), that is an additional $20.04 per person. Times that by 12,000? You’re looking at an additional $240,480 per semester, or $480,960 per year. Otherwise known as a very competitive professor’s salary in a world where our fees could be used to increase GPAs. Back to the scenario: Let’s pretend all 12,000 students stay in the area after graduation. For the

sake of the scenario, we’ll again overestimate and say half of these people plan to still go to Bison games (though it probably decreases). In the four years they paid this additional student activity fee, these fans paid the university $1,923,840 (on top of the current fee). Divide that by the 6,000 who we’re saying will go to games and use their “priority points” for their entries, and it comes out to $320 per person.

That’s if people don’t move away, and that won’t happen.

I’d rather have a $320 scholarship going to 2,500 deserving students, given every year, who are in majors that will benefit our society.

And I know, I know, a portion of this goes to club sports. About that: It blows my mind that we are expected to fund

other people’s hobbies and interests. How angry would everyone be if that sort of money went toward Future Farmers of America or Gamer’s Guild?

Yet this university thinks it is okay to ask students who will leave here with an average of $30,000 in debt to tack on “just a bit” of extra money to pay for a few alum (who I presume will have full-time jobs and can pay for their own tickets) to get priority into games. It is absolutely sickening.

This is not a stance against being a Bison fan or against being an athlete.

Those things are well and good (and even beneficial), but sitting in a position of power and of privilege is blinding athletics to the greater good of the student body, instead allowing them to push past agendas that don’t truly benefit everyone.

I have no problem paying the other portions of the proposed student activity fee for Student Health Services to give students access to quality health care without needing insurance, or for increasing technology that will enable us to compete in the real business world.

But I do have a problem with NDSU advertising to incoming freshman how student-focused it is and then charging students to sit in lectures with professors focused on research versus teaching, pay for Aquatic Centers they’ll never use and have priority points and fees they won’t see the benefits of unless they’re in club sports or an avid Bison fan.

It puts into perspective where NDSU’s priorities are, and from the looks of it, the university’s views aren’t truly with its students.

The Totally Odd and Wacky Awards A check up one month into the spring semester Pace Maier Sports Editor

There comes a time every semester when you can’t keep up with everything. That time is usually near the middle of the semester or close to the end, but for me, it’s right now.

A month into the spring semester, I sit here trying to remember my Blackboard password. It’s embarrassing.

This week is my “grind-itout week.” It’s much too early in the semester to have that week now, but so be it.

This week I bring you a little lighter reading or what I like to call “The Totally Odd and Wacky Awards,” in case you are having a difficult week, too.

The More Fame Award

This award goes out to the North Dakota State football team, but also the entire Missouri Valley Football Conference.

Earlier this week, ESPN and the MVFC agreed to have increased coverage of conference contests on ESPN3, an online streaming service.

Want to catch up on

sports for the day? People turn on ESPN. Want to watch some good Football Championship Subdivision football? Football fans watch MVFC football.

The Worldwide Leader in Sports and the MVFC are famous. And now they will be together for another eight years.

Last season, 49 MVFC games were shown on ESPN3.

The new agreement is to go through the 2023 season, and every year the conference will display an eight-game package.

MVFC senior associate commissioner Patty Viverito said the goal is to make all games available for fans.

The more games on ESPN equals more fans equals more fame.

Please Don’t Leave Fargo Award

In a perfect world, the Bison women’s basketball team would play every game inside the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse. This, unfortunately, is not the case.

The Please Don’t Leave Fargo Award goes to the NDSU women’s basketball

I was irate, and subsequently crown the NDSU men’s basketball team with The You Made Me Throw My Television Out My Window Award.

Make free throws and get out of the jungle.

This doesn’t sound too hard, considering NDSU had a 10-point lead in the second half.

NDSU went 8-for-18 from the free throw line, but in the second half the Bison made just 3-of-11.

I’ll be sending my new television bill in a few days.

Lone Survivor Award

The ‘Please Don’t Leave Fargo Award’ goes to women’s basketball team. team. Since the 2010-2011 season, the Bison are 12-62 on the road. Yikes.

This season the Maren Walseth coached squad is 1-7 outside city limits.

Go back to the end of the 2007-2008 season and NDS finished 7-7 on the road.

That’s the best road record

in the past 10 years.

As for the rest of this season, four of the last seven games are out of state.

win many games shooting 44 percent from the free thrown line.

So, the Bison men’s basketball team deserved to lose against Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis on a last second threepointer.

NDSU wrestling lost its first Big 12 conference dual 27-13 to the University of Wyoming Sunday the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse.

The Lone Survivor Award goes to 5th ranked Hayden Zillmer. He recorded NDSU’s sole major decision in its loss and is one win shy of 100 career victories.

This season Zillmer is 25-3 and 7-0 in duals, and continues to succeed individually But no matter how the match is going, Zillmer brings that lone survivor attitude.

3. NDSU Men Take on Minneapolis

Along with the multiple other records shattered last weekend, junior Conrad Schwarzkopf recorded the fourth best shot put in North Dakota State history.

With all of the success the men’s throwers have had this season, they currently hold the top six positions in the league in both the weight throw and shot put.

Continuing the success in the fielding events was senior Colin Paarmann. He set another personal record in the triple jump. The jump of 48-11.75 put him in third place in the meet and also put him at sixth place in the NDSU record books.

Competing in the running events was the

4x400 relay team of Aron Klos, Matt Bedard, Jonah Warwick and Landon Jochim, who finished the meet with a win and race time of 3:17.80. Klos was also victorious early on winning the 400-meter dash in 50.24.

2. Women Break Records, Prep for Next Weekend

Starting with the pentathlon athletes, junior Rose Jackson had a personal best in the hurdles, as well as the shot put, to improve her previous records. Scoring 109 points lower than her overall personal best, Jackson placed third in the event while senior Ann Govig came in at 10th and sophomore Amanda Levin finished in 12th.

Other competitors who had a successful weekend included seniors Anna Benke and Brittany Stangl, who placed second and

eighth respectively in the pole vault. Bison junior Katelyn Weimerskirch, who competed in the shot put, recorded a personal best, earning fourth place in the NDSU record books with her 54-01.75 throw.

1. A Record Weekend

With a throw that improved his place in the NCAA standings, junior Alex Renner moved up to 13th overall and finished as a runner-up at the University of Minnesota’s Jack Johnson Indoor Classic. This was a shot that added six inches to his previous NDSU record, which was set just two months earlier.

Another athlete who had a record-setting weekend in Minneapolis was senior Erin Teschuk.

For the second time this season, she put up record setting times. With a

season best of 4:36.71-mile time, Teschuk left with a first place victory as well as a No. 2 in the nation.

It was a big weekend for the throwers at NDSU, both men and women.

Sophomore Courtney Pasiowitz improved her personal record as well as the school record and the meet record with an improvement of over two feet. This performance gave Pasiowitz the win as well as moving her up the NCAA’s record list to 19th place.

Weekend Preview The Bison women are spending the week preparing for another competitive weekend. The team will compete Friday at the Air Force Team Challenge in Colorado Springs. The men’s team will also prepare for competition in Colorado Springs.

Commercials and shows aside, this game will be a good one COLUMN

Taylor Kurth Staff Writer

Peyton Manning will try to cap his career with one more Super Bowl win while Cam Newton attempts to bloom his ambitious, brash and swagger-ingested career with his first Super Bowl victory.

Welcome to Super Bowl 50.

The top two defenses in the National Football League are measuring up against each other with the Carolina Panthers forcing the most turnovers in the league while the Denver Broncos had the third most touchdowns off of turnovers this season.

Star linebacker and former Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly boosts Carolina’s defense.

Kuechly does everything for the Panthers. He has three interceptions, returned for touchdowns this year including two in the last two weeks. It also features loud and talented cover cornerback Josh Norman, who had four interceptions and two touchdowns in the first four games.

Finally, 11-year veteran Thomas Davis is a stud next to Kuechly.

Davis earned his first ever Pro Bowl and All-Pro nods this year, as he has been a stabilizing force for the Panthers for over the past decade.

Denver’s defense has star power as well as dominant

edge rusher Von Miller.

Miller is fresh off of another All-Pro selection and his finest game as he posted 2.5 sacks and an interception against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Miller combines with alltime great DeMarcus Ware to bookend a pair of fantastic edge rushers. Shutdown corner backs Aquib Talib, Chris Harris Jr. and Bradley Roby and former Pro Bowl safety TJ Ward help stabilize the back line for them.

This game will probably come down to which quarterback makes more offensive plays seeing as the defenses are pretty equal.

Manning has the advantage in weapons as he has two 1,000-yard receivers, which includes one of the best receivers in the NFL in Demaryius Thomas.

Newton has one 1,000yard receiver and that was his tight end Greg Olsen.

Newton will lean on his legs and Jonathan Stewart’s legs as well.

The two of them combined for over 1,500 yards on the ground.

Manning will have to lean on a pair of running backs; Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson also combined for over 1,500 yards rushing between them.

I think Newton and the Panthers will make a few more plays than Manning and the Broncos.

One Month from the Madness

Automatic bid still up for grabs in unpredictable Summit League

COLUMN

Connor Dunn Spectrum Staff

One month stands between the North Dakota State men’s basketball team and a trip to Sioux Falls, S.D., for the Summit League Tournament.

Four weeks until the Bison play for a fourth consecutive conference title game appearance.

Thirty-four days stand between now and the march for a third consecutive ticket to the Big Dance.

Hands down the best time of the year to be a college basketball fan is right around the corner with the normally frosty February finally hitting the calendar.

March Madness is soon upon us, and with the way this year’s Summit League conference play has been going, it’s going to be one heck of a tournament come the first weekend in March.

Just take the down-tothe-wire Bison’s game on the road Sunday against Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis.

IUPUI is considered to be a team still rebuilding entering the year.

The tide of the game

went back and forth in the first half with both teams shooting the ball exceptionally well from the floor. NDSU turned in 56 percent from the field and 50 percent on three-pointers to hold a three-point lead at the half.

The Bison extended that lead to 10 with 8:00 left, but a 3-for-11 performance from the free-throw line in the second half allowed IUPUI not only to make it a game down the stretch but to also steal one from the Bison on a game-winning three-point jumper with seconds left.

With that victory against the Bison, IUPUI joined Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne, preseason favorites South Dakota State and this season’s surprise contender University of NebraskaOmaha tied atop top of the Summit at 7-2 in conference play.

In the preseason poll, Omaha was picked seventh in the nine-team Summit League, but the Mavericks are looking to do something the 2009 NDSU squad with Ben Woodside and company know all to well about: a ticket to the NCAA tournament in the program’s first year of eligibility.

UNO finished 12-17 overall and 5-11 in the

conference last year due to some injuries and late-game struggles, which probably played a part in the lack of preseason respect.

This year’s a different story for the Mavericks, a team disproving expectations. NDSU’s home winning streak sure heard about UNO, as the Mavs went into Scheels Arena in early January to snap 31-straight home victories for the Bison.

Entering the weekend, the Bison had a chance to join the frontrunners with a win at IUPUI, but all four of the teams tied for first left the Saturday and Sunday with a winning streak forcing NDSU down into the fifth spot at 4-4.

NDSU is one game behind all of the other teams in the conference, and this week’s slate of two games at the Scheels Arena is crucial if the Bison are going to join the tier of four at the top.

Thursday’s opponent Oral Roberts beat the Bison in Tulsa while the Frisco festivities of a fifth straight football title were still in full swing. Saturday brings IPFW to town in a repeat matchup from two weeks ago that the Mastodons held on late to win.

Super Bowl Sunday Maggie Crippen Staff Writer

Super Bowl 50 is three days away and most students will more than likely be watching instead of studying for our first round of exams.

For some of my female readers (and my guys who don’t care, either), you’ll be forced to watch the entire broadcast with your significant others and their buddies. This week, my column is for you.

Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts with helpful advice for your benefit when the Denver Broncos take on the Carolina Panthers.

Do: Choose a team.

Even if you could care less who wins, it will make watching the game more fun and personal, and it will also give you a side to take in this Americanized holiday. Plus, making bets against your boo-thang is always fun: loser buys dinner.

Don’t: Defend your

choice of team because you like their jersey colors.

The broncos are blue and orange, and the Panthers are light blue and white. So saying blue is your favorite color isn’t a good enough reason to cheer for either team (because both teams are blue). Instead, pick a favorite because Cam Newton has a newborn son, or because Peyton Manning is about 100 years old.

Do: Learn your key players. Know Peyton Manning is the quarterback for the Broncos and Cam Newton is the quarterback for the Panthers. Know their tendencies, like that Newton is known for his athleticism out of the pocket and Manning is known for his throwing accuracy.

Don’t: Pretend you know things when you don’t. It’s the most annoying thing when people think they’re always right, and don’t be that

person who doesn’t know what he or she is talking about. Get online and read some articles about the Super Bowl and learn your stuff.

Do: Find someone you trust at the party to ask your questions to. There’s a chance there will be someone that doesn’t mind explaining it to you, plus boys like to teach girls things. If you don’t trust anyone to not make fun of you, then rotate who you ask questions to; it’s a trusty trick of mine.

Don’t: Be scared to have fun. You are smarter than you think. I think that Super Bowl 50 is going to be a close game. The Panthers statistically are favored, but the Broncos were basically skunked a couple years ago in Super Bowl XLVIII, so the team is looking for revenge. Plus, Beyonce is performing at halftime — and although the boys won’t admit it, they’re looking forward to that, too.

Kory Brown is averaging 14 points in NDSU’s last seven games.
