Living the dorm life NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY | FOR THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE | Summer edition
La vida loca has got nothing on this Meghan Arbegast Head News Editor
As this year’s freshmen have moved out of their dorms, the fall semester will bring new students who will start to move into the many residence halls located on campus. These buildings will become the new homes for the incoming freshmen, and to help prepare, here is some information on each dorm and some advice from past residents. There are 10 residence halls at North Dakota State. Churchill, Stockbridge and Johnson/Reed are male only living spaces. Burgum, Dinan and North/South Weible are female only living spaces. There are also four high-rise residence halls: Seim, Sevrinson, Thompson and Pavek, which are all co-ed. All these residence halls offer different room layouts. The high rises offer suites (two bedrooms and a shared bathroom and entryway), and the other buildings are typically two or threeperson rooms with shared community bathrooms on each floor. Residence halls also have their own lounge areas, kitchens and coinless laundry rooms to meet student’s needs.
All-male residence halls
Churchill is the oldest residence hall on campus, with construction starting in 1927. Students started living in Churchill before school started in 1930. Churchill also has the most recent renovations, which were completed in 2017. Churchill is located right next to the A. Glenn Hill Center (also known as the STEM building) and is conveniently near the Memorial Union for access to the Union Dining Center (UDC). The rooms in Churchill accommodate two male residents each. Stockbridge is another all-male residence hall that is located closer to the other residence halls on the east edge of campus. It was completed in 1957 and accommodates two male residents per room. Reed started housing students in 1962, and Johnson was completed in 1963. Johnson and Reed are two separate residence halls that connect with each other, and they both connect to the Residence Dining Center (RDC) as well. These residence halls accommodate a minimum of two and a maximum of three male residents in each room.
All-female residence halls
Dinan is the oldest all-female residence hall and was built in 1957. It is located right next to the Memorial Union and is centered on many classes. Dinan can house two female residents per room. Burgum is another all-female residence hall on campus and started housing students in 1962. Burgum is located further south on campus, as it is located by the library and near the Memorial Union. Students in this residence hall are also within walking distance to restaurants like Jimmy John’s and Herd and Horns, which are just across the street. Burgum allows two or three female residents per room. The last all-female residence hall is Weible, which was built in 1963 and has North and South ends. Like Johnson and Reed, North and South Weible connect to each other. These two residence halls also connect to the RDC. Two or three female residents can be assigned to a room.
Co-ed residence halls
The four high rises are centered on the West Dining Center (WDC), and each has an underground passage to the dining center. These residence halls are 8 stories high, and each room can accommodate up to four people with a suite like layout, meaning each dorm gets its own bathroom.
Advice from a hall director
Someone with much insight on residence hall life is Mark Maliskey, the current hall director of Weible. Maliskey has been a hall director for three years. He was hall director for two years at Stockbridge, and this past
school year was his first year in Weible. Maliskey will continue to be the hall director of Weible in the 2019-20 school year as well. Maliskey talked about the link between having a higher GPA and having the access to studying here on campus because students are within walking distance to their classes and the library. Security was another aspect Maliskey discussed, as residence halls are kept secure at all times. There are always resident assistants (RA) for help and to answer any questions as well. In regard to how students can feel more at home while living in the residence halls, Maliskey had some input as well. “Meet your neighbors and others on your floor,” Maliskey said. He also had one other tip for the incoming freshmen. “Get involved around the community,” he recommended. Being connected to the Residence Dining Center and the good location were the main features past Weible residents have loved about the residence hall. Maliskey also mentioned the bathrooms in South Weible will be renovated this summer for the incoming South Weible residents.
Advice from current students
Kaylee Herman, a current NDSU student, explained what she liked most about living in Pavek. “The best thing Freshmen students typically share a room. about living in a dorm is being close to classes,” Herman said. “I don’t like the noise sometimes when I am trying to sleep, but overall I have liked living in Pavek.” Herman also gave some advice to those who will be living in a residence hall next year. “If you don’t get along with your roommate, talk to your RA. They will be able to help you in any situation,” Herman said. “Also, if someone knocks on the door at 8 p.m., don’t answer it because things get crazy pretty fast.” Another student who talked about their experiences in the residence halls was Trevor Theurer. Theurer was a resident of Stockbridge and talked about his year there. “The best thing about living in a dorm was the friends I have met and the communal bond that is there,” Theurer said. In regard to living in a residence hall, Theurer advised: “Don’t be afraid to talk to your neighbors and those on different floors.” Theurer also said he is going to miss some things about his residence hall. “I’m going to miss the room size and being able to talk to the people there.” Theurer said he liked Stockbridge’s location because it was only a block away from most of the other residence halls on campus.
Dining centers
As students will need to feel at home in the residence halls, there are three options of dining centers they can choose from. Residence Dining Center is the dining center located in the center of Weible and Johnson/Reed. This dining center is open seven days a week and offers students many options of food to choose from. The stations that can be found at RDC are the grill, classics, global and options. RDC also has a salad and sandwich bar, its own coffee shop and breakfast station. West Dining Center is being renovated and will be completed in time for the incoming freshman class. Like RDC, WDC is now going to offer more options for students to choose from. WDC will have more stations like global, homestyle, grill and a pizza station. A salad and sandwich bar, bakery and breakfast station will also be ready for students to use in the coming school year. The last of the three dining centers is the Union Dining Center. This is the dining center located in the basement of the Memorial Union. At UDC there is one station that offers a variety of meals weekly. UDC, like the other three dining centers, offers a salad and sandwich bar along with a breakfast station. Future freshmen will soon have their own residence hall experiences as move in day is not far away.

Major Dilemma For students seeking their perfect major, here’s a couple of suggestions Phoebe Ellis
Students enter university often feeling scared, nervous, overwhelmed or any combination thereof. Here are some majors to take the edge off.

The founding of North Dakota State
NDSU was founded in 1890, and it was called something completely different back then. The college was originally known as the North Dakota Agriculture College because agriculture-based classes were taught here. As the years progressed though, many disciplines were added. It wasn’t until 1960 that the name was changed to North Dakota State University to show prospective students that there were more majors to choose from than just agricultural ones. As of now, NDSU offers 102 undergraduate majors for students to choose from. NDSU describes itself as a student-focused, landgrant college that excels in research.

g e t i nvo l ve d Some of the ways students can become involved around campus

For students who aren’t sure about their future but know they like the outdoors, natural resources management might offer some insight into the future. Because the field is interdisciplinary, students choose from one of seven major tracks within the school: biotic resources science, physical/earth resources science, sustainability, pollution control, social sciences, environmental communication or natural resources economics. Shawn DeKeyser, the natural resources management program leader, said that “you can find something that fits” because of how interdisciplinary the program is. For beginning students especially, the beginning courses in the program are all interdisciplinary in an effort to get students on the right track early. This is also because the program believes that every student needs to have diverse experience for their future career. To ensure this, they also encourage summer jobs and internships in the field. North Dakota State’s natural resources management program is unique as it is one of very few undergraduate programs in the field in the upper Midwest. Some courses that students could expect to take if they do choose to pursue a major within the natural resources management program include watershed management, ecology courses and geographic systems management, among others. For a capstone project, students go through the step by step process of
W e i r d w ay s t o

creating a plan for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service where they can do a variety of things to preserve or improve systems. “I developed the course years ago,” DeKeyser said, noting that the Wildlife Service takes students’ projects and later applies them to real life happenings. Much of the major is hands on work, which can include piling into a van to collect soil and water samples to later analyze.
Public History
If students are curious about the world around them, the public history major offers new perspectives on what may appear like the same old same old. Torie Jones, a collections assistant in the Germans and Russians Heritage Collection at the NDSU library and recent public history grad, said that she got into the major because she’s always loved history and “hearing stories to connect to a broader audience.” As a public history major, still standing is Administration Building, now referred to as Old Main. This building was built in 1891 and still houses the accounting and budget offices inside. The construction of Minard Hall, originally named Science Hall, started in 1901. Over the years, there have been many expansions and renovations to this building. Minard Hall is also where the majority of professors’ offices can be found. Another older building on campus is Ceres Hall, which was built in 1910. Ceres is located near the Memorial Union and houses the counseling center and customer account services, as well as other administrative offices.
students would be responsible for making history available to the public, according to Jones. However, it’s not all research and museums, although that is part of it. The public history major also allows students to do things like create a documentary, teach and, of course, create museum exhibits. Jones said the projects students do as their capstone are made available to the public. For her capstone project, Jones made a museum exhibit “that was up for like two years,” she said. The field began in the 1960s/1970s as a way to manage museums. Today, however, Jones said it prepares people for the diversifying world. Additionally, Jones highlighted the program’s attention to detail, which gives new perspectives on history and offers hands on programming. “It’s really shaping my future,” Jones said. “Don’t let the history scare you.”
1900s was the “Aggies,” which fits the agricultural theme. Around 1922, students petitioned for a different mascot and chose the bison because the state of North Dakota was known for its roaming bison

Greek Life’s past
NDSU has many sororities and fraternities a part of campus. A few of the oldest ones that are still around today are Theta Chi, Kappa Alpha Theta (Gamma Nu) and K a p p a Psi (Beta Sigma). Alpha Gamma Rho is one of the many fraternities at NDSU. The chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho is fifth in the nation at NDSU and goes back to 1913. This fraternity is for those who want a future career in agriculture, food, life sciences and other environmental fields and can

The club is “a group of people supporting the growth of paintball as a sport.” The group also competes in the NCPA Midwest North Division, an organization for collegiate paintballers. If you’re more into real guns, in a safe way, you could join the Marksmanship Club, an organization that focuses on Olympic style shooting. “You have a choice between air rifle, air pistol, small-bore (.22) rifle or pistol,” according to the club’s website. Books The NDSU Press offers a certificate in publishing for those who love books and the publishing process. This certificate requires three courses, with the last being field experience where students edit and help publish real books. According to the NDSU Press website, the certificate is not just for those who are interested in working in publishing. “The Certificate in Publishing prepares students for the job market — within the unique framework of the publishing industry — in the top five skills employers seek among college graduates: communication, problemsolving, ability to work in a team, project management and quantitative skills.” The NDSU Press publishes local pieces independently, including Ph.D. dissertations and independent authors in the region.

Bison football history
The NDSU football team has won 15 national championships, starting in 1965 with their first win. In 2004, the football team transitioned from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II to Division I-AA, later renamed the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The football team’s latest victory was in 2018 with Chris Klieman coaching the team. This win was the fourth FCS national championship victory for the team under Klieman. The 2018 FCS championship victory also marked NDSU’s seventh national championship win in eight years. In early March 2019, the bison football team was invited to the White House to meet President Donald Trump, and they accepted the offer.

A BISON ABROAD Things people don’t tell you
Sometimes exploring and getting lost is the only way to get used to a new country.
Erin Thostenson Contributing Writer
Let me be completely honest: at every moment leading up to boarding the plane for my study abroad semester in Australia, I was being told that the trip would be non-stop, without a doubt, 110% the adventure of a lifetime. So far, my time in Melbourne has been that, in some ways. But there’s also been plenty of less glamorous moments involved in picking up and traveling alone to a foreign country that people don’t talk about. These are moments of lying in bed at night in your new apartment, a literal world away from where you once were, and wondering how the hell you got there and where you’re going when you leave. These are moments of gloominess, confusion and selfreflection that are all part of the study abroad experience. And they are all vital to personal growth. These are three things that people nobody told me about studying abroad, and how you can deal with them, learn from them and hopefully become stronger for
having been through them.
Doubt
I have wanted to visit Australia since I was probably 10 years old. Once I learned it was within my means to go to Melbourne on an exchange semester, there was nothing that could stop me. But, no sooner than when I landed and started unpacking my bags, I was hit with a SouthPacific-Ocean-sized wave of selfdoubt and worry. Why had I done this? Was I really ready to spend over four months of my life in a country where I knew no one? Where I’m separated from my family and friends by entire continents, oceans, hemispheres? Where I don’t even know what the nearest store is where I can buy tampons? Starting your study abroad semester will probably kick the part of your brain that creates anxiety into overdrive. And yes, being in a new home, city, country is scary because there are so many unknowns. But you can beat this by taking a deep breath and tackling each challenge one at a time. I started by getting familiar with the beautiful La Trobe
ERIN THOSTENSON | THE SPECTRUM
University campus that I’m living on. Once I conquered that, I started expanding my exploration to parts of Melbourne City Centre. Now, I can genuinely say I can get all the way from the central business district to the suburbs across the Yarra River without looking at a map. They key is to remember why you came here and take things one step at a time. Learn how to do this and you just might be able to learn how to do anything.
Loneliness
Even though I’ve had so much time to make new friends in my new city and to adjust to living away from home, I still get homesick and I still get lonely. I have a feeling that, no matter how gregarious a person you might be, you’re probably going to experience this too. I haven’t found a perfect solution to this aspect of studying abroad yet, but there are some things that help. What has worked best so far has been to make extra certain that I take time to enjoy things that are special just to me. And, most importantly, to be as mindful and present as possible
when I do those things. Studying abroad is going to force you to do things on your own that you probably never thought you would have to do without help, no matter what type of person you are. So, why not take it as an opportunity to become comfortable in being alone by yourself? Maybe it will make you more comfortable in just being yourself.
Bad days
My mom used to read me this picture book when I was growing up called “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” It’s about a kid who, as you can imagine, is having simply the worst day. So bad, in fact, that he threatens to move to Australia. After all sorts of horrible hijinks, like getting gum stuck in his hair, going to the dentist and eating lima beans for dinner, Alexander learns a valuable lesson: “Some days are like that. Even in Australia.” Turns out, it took me literally moving to Australia to learn this lesson for myself. I have wanted to visit here for so long, and everyone around me has been so excited for me to go. I think because of this, I built up my study abroad semester
Things I’ve learned at NDSU After 5 years I can share what they don’t tell you about college
Attractions across campus Hidden gems that are worth walking across campus for
Phoebe Ellis Spectrum Staff
Miranda Stambler Features Editor
Students spend a lot of time on campus, and sometimes they have a few minutes to kill. For the students who only have a moment to spare, or those who just like to hang out, there are spots on campus every student should hit up before they graduate.
Graduation day is finally arriving, and this will be my final article as the Features Editor. As a farewell to my position and to my Bison classmates, I will be sharing all of the things they do not tell you about college. This is not the typical “go to class” article. This is the s--- people are afraid to say and do not realize until their time has come to an end as a college student. Listen up, incoming freshman. These could make or break your college career.
Augmentation Sandbox
Ticket guy’s job is to be a jerk
It is his job to give you a parking ticket. To avoid this, know his schedule and park there in between the times he usually does not go to the parking lot.
Toilet paper is gold
When you get your own apartment, you will realize how expensive toilet paper is. To prevent the panic, hoard toilet paper from your dorms. Every time they bring you toilet paper rolls take two and hide them. Also, know what bathrooms on campus leave toilet paper out, so if you run out you got that stash too.
Save money now
Seriously. You will regret not saving. Save, save as much as you can. Emergencies happen, and you will need the money, or you save up a lot of money.
Sometimes roommates suck
Freshman year, you could hate your roommate. Sometimes they have sex when you’re in the room. Sometimes they yell at their significant other every second of every day. It happens. Just try and be civil.
Sometimes friends suck
Don’t move in with your friends unless you are prepared to possibly ruin your friendship. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t. So, prepare for the idea that it could be the worst idea ever.
Sometimes professors suck
If you’re reading this, you could be one of the professors that I gave a terrible evaluation to because you made my life a living hell. Professors can be awful or great, so do your research and know how you like to be taught.
Tell your advisor to f--- off
You could end up with an advisor that you do not click with. It happens a lot more than you think. Do not feel bad to change advisors. They’ll understand.
Change your major
If you are doubting your major, take a different class
in my mind as being some sort of idealized once-in-a-lifetime experience that is, in reality, unachievable. No matter how confident I may now be with living in Melbourne, no matter how well I’ve learned to deal with homesickness and especially no matter how beautiful Australia is … my moments spent here are still never going to be perfect. There are still going to be terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days. The important thing is to not let those bad days ruin your experience with the days that are unquestionably good and wonderful and exciting. Because some days you may find yourself sitting on green grass in the Royal Botanic Gardens, having a picnic that you made just for you. The weather is calm, and you look up to realize you can see Melbourne’s skyscrapers, rising beyond the trees. You have traveled over 9,000 miles to get here. And maybe that is the adventure of a lifetime. Those days are like that, especially because they are in Australia.
MIRANDA STAMBLER | THE SPECTRUM
FYI, slaughtering a bison is the way to get into NDSU. and test out whether you enjoy that more. You can research and set up meetings with advisors in other departments to determine where you fit. Do not be scared to change your major if you want to.
Clickers are a scam
You will most likely not need clickers. You will need them for a couple classes, and that is it. Do not get wrapped up in the idea that you will need clickers for every class.
No one cares about you
Not in the sense that they don’t care about your life, but in a way, they don’t care about your life. Feel free to wear whatever you want. If you show up to class in a onesie, people will probably nod their head in respect rather than laugh at you.
This sandbox, located in the campus library at North Dakota State, allows students to build or destroy mountains and see the geographical shifts in real time. The sandbox functions like a topographical map; the higher the peak, the redder in color the sand becomes. Students can create rivers and valleys, hills and mountains and see their creation as a topographical map in real time, and users report it looks pretty too. The sandbox was originally given to the geology department to help students study maps, but the classroom that uses them only has three stations, and there are four sandboxes. They generously allowed the fourth to be used by the larger NDSU community.
Babbling Brook and amphitheater
Just outside the South Engineering building lies a small, man-made river, complete with a bridge and a small amphitheater for
students to hang out, do homework or spontaneously perform Shakespearean soliloquies. The scenic area has been known to be used for first dates, basking in the rare sunshine the campus receives and having deep late-night conversations among friends. Everybody who visits the campus also seems to snap a picture of this area before they leave.
A tunnel
The small skyway tunnel that connects the second floor of Morrill Hall and the second floor of Hultz Hall has some of the best lighting on campus. Perhaps it’s just the tint of the old windows, or how it slants at a slightly more severe angle than other tunnels on campus, but it provides good lighting, especially for photographs. This tunnel also happens to be used pretty infrequently, so the odds of getting a good, uninterrupted selfie is pretty high.
Entomology department
Just outside the doors of the entomology department, located in Hultz Hall, lies a panel of windows with displays ranging from bug family photos to themed crossword puzzles. For more, read the rest of the story on our website: ndsuspectrum.com

ASK PABLO Finals & summertime advice from a curious kitten
No need to fear, Pablo is here.
Pablo
Contributing Writer
Hello frens! I know many of you are ready for your final exams and are eagerly anticipating the summer months, but I also know there are some of you that are unsure of yourselves. Once again, I’m here to ease your worries.
Q: Pablo, what’s your favorite way to de-stress?
A: Being a kitty, my life is not terribly stressful. The only times I feel stress are when my bowl is empty of snacc or when my hooman forces me into the zoom machine. During these times, I call out to my hooman so she can help me. Asking for help is beneficial in times of stress because often times, someone else will be able to assist you. Other than that, some catnip and a nap help me too.
Q: Are there any

nice running trails in the F-M area?
A: When I do my running it’s during my zoomies, and it’s from one room to the next and across the furniture. Fargo is home to an active community and ample parks along the rivers. I guarantee that you can find a running trail at one of them.
Q: What’s the best ice cream place in Fargo for a nice summer treat?
A: Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the classic walk-up Dairy Queen in Moorhead, Minnesota.
Q: Dear Pablo, I’m graduating this year. I am panicking about what life will be like after college. It’s so hard to find a job, keep in touch with friends and not revolve my life around studying anymore. What is life like after
college?
A: My hooman is also graduating, but she’ll be going back to school to keep learning, though I don’t know why. I’ve never been to school, but I think that it’s important to understand that success isn’t linear, and everyone experiences different milestones in their life at different times. For example, maybe one of your friends just landed their dream job while you’re still struggling to pay rent. It is OK, my fren. You’ll get there eventually. Life after college is different for everyone.
Q: Dear Pablo, graduation has me feeling nostalgic. I am excited for my career but sad to leave college behind. How should I cope with this?
A: College was just one milestone in your life, and you can look back on the memories you made for the rest of your life. Not only that, but you will make many, many more memories in your post-college life.
Q: Pablo, I am not ready for the Q: Hey Pablo, what’s summer. More specifically, my the hot song of the summer going to be? summer body is A: Vampire Weekend just not ready. I have a released their fourth album, bikini I love but not and I think that’s going to be what my hooman is boppin’ a body I love ... what to all summer. do I do?

body is a just your body in
the summertime. Wear what you want, especially if it makes you happy.
Q: Pablo, will I be judged if I show up to my final exam in sweats and no makeup?
A: I really don’t think so. Everyone will be too focused on the test to even think twice about you. And if they do judge you, h*ck them.
Q: What do I do with my life now that I’m graduating?
with a ton of fruit every single day. But for a more energizing meal for prefinals, toast with eggs and avocado are good too. Good luck with your tests, frens, and have a lovely summer! I’ll be back (and better than ever) the following school year. For more advice from Pablo, read the rest of the article online.
Until next time,
A: Not to be cheesy, but live it to the fullest.
Q: Pablo, they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What’s your go-to pre-finals breakfast?
A: Amazing question. I love breakfast. I love it so much that I wake my hooman up at 3 o’clock in the morning for it. If I had it my way, I would eat biscuits and gravy

Much of the school year is spent in anticipation for summer. It’s a great time of year for students to relax and do fun things. As most people make plans for summer and excitement grows, some are lost on what to do and can waste the precious time we get in North Dakota with the sun shining. For these people, or for those wanting more in their summer, this bucket list is sure to help.

While most of these items are things to do, it is important to keep in mind this big thing not to do. Summer may seem like the perfect time to nonstop work and bring in plenty of money to help you through the school year. However, if you don’t take the time to breathe, you’ll come to regret it. You don’t want to spend the entirety of summer missing out on fun times with friends or burning out,
so remember to take some time for yourself.
Go hammocking
Well, maybe not specifically hammocking, but be sure to spend some relaxing time outdoors. If you don’t own a hammock, or it’s not your style, you can also stargaze, go to a park, check out your local zoo or take a blanket and sit outside e n j o y i n g nature. Make sure to get plenty of fresh air this summer to ensure you enjoy the weather while you still can and ensure you will have the time you need to relax.

Now, while road trips with family can be fun, I’d specifically recommend this one to be with friends. Whether it’s going to a town you’ve never been to before that’s only half an hour away, or driving cross country, this is a great way to bond and make fun memories with friends. Some good ideas include going to the Black Hills to see Mount Rushmore, going to Canada for the fun of seeing another country, or even heading to the West Coast to see the ocean views North Dakota can only dream of.

nothing
like spending the afternoon wrapped in blankets with a bowl of popcorn and your closest friends. Doing a movie marathon with friends is a fun way to save money by not going to the theaters and being able to yell at the TV to your heart’s content. Some great recommendations include a chick-flick marathon, “Star Wars” or the “Avengers.”
Learn a new skill
In summer, you have three months to make the most of before your time is once again filled with classes and homework. One thing great to do is learning something new. Whether you’ve always wanted to play the guitar, juggle or learn to code, summer is the perfect time to set aside and build your resume. Summer isn’t just time to waste sitting and doing nothing. Summer is full of opportunity that you just have to take advantage of. So whether you do all or just one of these things, make your summer memorable and full of adventures.

The secret to the perfect summer body
How to get swimsuit body: put on swimsuit.
Delaney Halloran Opinion Editor
There is a surefire way to attain the perfect summer body. It doesn’t require a diet made up of lettuce and honey water, or training for an Iron Man; it simply requires a change in perspective. Want to know the secret to the perfect summer body? You already have it. Despite what “Game of Thrones” might have you believe, winter is not coming. Summer is here (well almost here), and jean shorts, swimsuits and bro tanks are upon us. For many people, the change in weather is more than welcome. However, for those of us who like to pack on weight in the winter like a bear before hibernation, summer

can seem daunting. Clothes may not fit correctly, but every Instagram model with a detox tea promises that shedding the summer weight will be as easy as four payments of $49.95. Freshman student McKenna Lilja shared her own reservations: “I have not been positive to my body and treated it with respect.” When it comes to showing off her body for summer, Lilja stated, “It’s just like homework and projects. You would not give a professor of your favorite class a project or assignment that you did not finish or positively work on and you are not happy with.” Lilja’s sentiment, and those of many other students, are that their bodies are like objects, vulnerable to judgment and criticism.
I’m proposing a solution: instead of dieting or killing ourselves with intense exercise, we embrace our bodies this summer. Just as people are supportive of those trying to physically better themselves by losing weight, we need to learn how to support one another as we evolve mentally in learning to love our bodies. Most importantly, we need to treat others with the same compassion we would hope to receive in our more self-conscious moments. It’s important to acknowledge how big a shift in cognition this can be for some people. Social media sites perpetuate standards of beauty and excellence that don’t reflect reality. It’s the rare person who shares images of themselves that highlight those curved and
“imperfect” angles. Even at NDSU, I cannot count the number of times I have heard a student refer to themselves as “fat” or insist on the need to lose weight. What’s so fascinating about all these encounters is that most people never even notice a friend has gained weight. Followers won’t look at an Instagram post and marvel at how skinny a person’s arms look in a picture. Nobody sees that pimple on your chin until you tell them how annoying you think it is. College-aged individuals are so incredibly hard on themselves when the truth is that those that love and care about them see beauty where they see flaws. In order to find the perfect summer body, people just need to try to

embrace the beauty others see in them versus the faults they see in themselves. Those individuals who are labeled as the ideal share just as many insecurities as anyone else. While striving to be healthier can build self-confidence, it’s important to not lose what makes a person uniquely beautiful in the quest for the perfect picture. An NDSU where everyone looks the same would be an unbelievable shame. There is beauty in every body type, every skin color and every individual, especially in those who can’t see that beauty in themselves. So, if you’re trying to get that perfect summer body, just remember: you already have it.

Grant’s last rant I’m graduating and taking my terrible writing with me Grant Gloe Staff Writer
Holy smokes, it’s been an adventure. About two a half years ago, the once Opinion Editor, current Editorin-Chief, forever legend asked me if I’d like to try writing for The Spectrum. Seeing as I specialize in nonsense, I couldn’t have imagined it becoming this kind of a fixture in my life. Now, like the bus driver who sees you running for your life to make it, I have to abruptly and happily move on. I know, please try to hold back your tears. I can hear you saying, through whimpering and snot, “Well, at least you’re happy. Do you have any regrets?” What a silly question. I obviously do. I firmly believe anyone who answers that question “no” is a grubby little liar. There’s always a way to do it better, and college is about the good times and the bad. It’s how you figure yourself out.
It’s like you’re finding all the things you like by putting together a puzzle. Before you got here, it was probably akin to one of those “6+” puzzles where the age restriction is so that you don’t eat the pieces. It’s got 16 total, and they are all brightly colored and distinct. Now you’ve got an 8,000-piece puzzle. And some of them are missing. And there’s no picture on the box. And you smell smoke in the house, but you need to work on the puzzle. So my regrets? Starting projects the week they were due. Maybe hitting the sauce a bit hard. (What can I say? I love spicy food.) That time I hit a delivery truck and found out a Hyundai Elantra is secretly an accordion. My time at The Spectrum? Never. Not a single article. Don’t get me wrong, most of them are garbage. All of them are a little bit garbage. They ramble, and they have social commentary no one cares about.
If you’re thinking, “Hey, I care about stuff!” then slow down. No one should care about the things I care about. No one should foam at the mouth because every gosh darn wrong way sign in this country is aimed at the entrance ramp facing traffic going the right way. No one should be enraged at every last person who thinks they like the charcoal ash of a burnt marshmallow when, in fact, they are lying to themselves and everyone they love. This is what keeps me awake at night. The most honest thing I can say about my articles is that they make me laugh. I wrote what I wrote because I enjoyed it. If other people enjoyed it too, well, then that just makes me enjoy it that much more. So if you did like my stuff or if you’re just flipping through the paper or if you’re just clicking whatever story online, thanks for reading my final ramble. My last rant. At least you made it to My first article, calling out jerk houseplants. the end.

Album of the Month: April Delaney Halloran Opinion Editor
On April 19, Lizzo dropped her third album, “Cuz I Love You.” The album is Lizzo’s love letter to her body, herself and her listeners. The album should appeal to women of varying shapes and sizes and individuals of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Mixing soul, pop and rap, it’s difficult to pinpoint what genre would accurately encompass this album. While some songs, at times, were a little too close to throwaway pop, Lizzo’s message brings the listener right back. It’s rare to find an album that’s as fun to listen to as it is politically engaging. Sidestepping any name-calling, Lizzo covers the beauty of diverse relationships (“Better in Color”), vulnerability (“Crybaby”) and
embracing sensuality (“Lingerie”). The album offers a variety of musical genres, from the more soulful tracks, “Cuz I Love You” and “Jerome,” to some pops hits that would put even the catchiest Target commercial song to shame. Lizzo herself is the oddball hero we never knew we needed, but we certainly don’t deserve. In an interview with V Magazine, Lizzo discussed her childhood, describing how she was never expected to be in the spotlight, “So I was nerdy, but also chubby and sweaty. I liked anime and comics.” As a plus-size, African American and Native American woman, Lizzo has achieved fame despite those who have doubted her success. Plus, as she added, “Now being a nerd is hot.” Some songs on the album sometimes seem almost comical in their lyrical and rhyming schemes; see “Heaven” and the

After three years, two Spectrum sports vets set to move on

The dynamic duo of Spectrum sports coverage: Taylor Schloemer (left) and Thomas Evanella (right).
Taylor Schloemer & Thomas Evanella Sports Staff
For the last three years, the duo of Taylor Schloemer and Thomas Evanella have done a majority of the sports coverage for The Spectrum. Now, as Taylor steps back from the Sports Editor role and Thomas graduates out from being a staff writer, the pair look back at their time writing for The Spectrum.
What was your favorite story you wrote?
Taylor Schloemer: I really like when an idea comes together quickly, and the idea goes from brain to paper in a short time. That said, I actually had to slow myself down when writing my favorite story, which was the Missing Person Report: NDSU Students. I vividly remember sitting in the Fargodome press box in the third quarter of the 2016 Dakota Marker game. The Bison held a halftime lead, but they were mighty fortunate to do so. The Jacks had the ball inside the five twice in the first half, put failed to punch it in both times. Despite this fact, the student
section got up and left. Sure enough, SDSU came back and won the game on a last second pass from Taryn Christion to Jake Wieneke. I would be remiss to say that my roommate is adamant that Wieneke pushed off, but play on. That same roommate can attest to how aggravated I was that the students left. I actually had to go to sleep in order to cool down enough not to say anything too stupid. Happily, however, that story struck a chord with readers, though it hasn’t seemed like the incoming students have learned this old lesson. Thomas Evanella: We’ve had the great fortune of having access to some truly top-class athletes while covering sports at NDSU. This resulted in numerous one-onone interviews, which produced some of my favorite pieces. My favorite of all of these was also my most surprising. In 2017, Matti Mortimore was lighting the collegiate javelin world on fire, ranking second in the country. He also was the top Briton and No. 33 in the world among 23-year-olds. An appearance in the 2020 Olympics seemed a foregone conclusion. Within the first minute of the interview though, Mortimore surprised me. When asked about the possibility of representing
Great Britain in the Olympics, he was utterly ambivalent. What he really wanted to talk about was his advanced degree in philosophy. He was transferring to Tulane for a Ph.D., and it was clear he was much more passionate about ethics and political philosophy. He admitted at the time that his Ph.D. may preclude him from competing. It did. His personal record from 2017 still stands. I’m sure he’s more than fine with that though.
Which event was your favorite to cover?
TE: We witnessed NDSU win three national titles in football during our time here, so you’d think the one I went to — 2017 against James Madison — would have been my favorite. The No. 1 for me though is actually a game that the Bison lost. It was this year’s men’s basketball game against South Dakota State. That game will long be remembered as the David Jenkins Jr. game. The aforementioned banked home a half-court buzzer-beater to sink the Bison, who had been riding a five-game winning streak into the game. Jenkins Jr. tore the heart out of the Bison’s chest, but the loss was
a key step on NDSU’s path to the Summit League title. TS: Well, it can’t be any event that took place in South Dakota. I was a solid 0-4 in events that I covered in the Lesser Dakota. I did go 1-0 in Iowa, however, and that was just crazy. The 2016 Bison-Hawkeyes game was my first road trip to cover NDSU athletics. Myself and my good friend Casey McCarty, the News Editor turned photographer for this trip, took the drive to Iowa City for the game. Despite listening to all of Casey’s crime stats for a class project and him shouting “Iowa corn sucks” every five minutes, we eventually made it to Kinnick Stadium. A football game ensued, Cam Pederson knocked through the game-winning field goal and that was the only moment I just sat back in by chair and said, “Wow.”
What is the one moment you will never forget?
TS: Not dying in Kansas driving back from Frisco. Wait, I wasn’t supposed to tell my mom about that. But actually, this happened my freshman year. My first ever
involvement with anything around the football team was going to the press conference for the spring coaching clinic. The keynote speaker was Jerry Kill, freshly retired from the University of Minnesota. Personally, I was a fan of his when he was a Gopher, and he retired due to health issues. But one of the questions I asked was how important the role of the coach is in these young players’ lives? I remember him getting emotional talking about how these teams are family and the coach is the father figure. It was just a reminder that some things are just bigger than sports. TE: Four words: fiddle in the band. I’ll never forget when “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas” came on while the Bison trounced SDSU in this year’s semifinal. It was the final sendoff for Chris Klieman and his first recruiting class at NDSU. It also wound up as the last football game I’d cover for the paper. The song will always be representative of what’s been an awesome three years covering Bison sports. TS: But, Thomas, you are missing the best part of that press conference — NDSU President Dean Bresciani in a cowboy hat.
Bison football ready to reload David Hoffman Staff Writer
Most people think of football when they think of North Dakota State, and after winning their seventh championship in eight straight years, the team appears stronger than ever. Fans are pumped for the next season, and you can be sure they are looking for another championship. However, it may not be smooth sailing for the Herd. With over 20 seniors graduating and a new head coach, the upcoming season could prove to be interesting. Regardless, when classes roll back around in August, so will the Herd, and here is a quick look into what the new season could look like. For one, it is important to address the changes within the program. Head coach Chris Klieman moved on to a new job at Kansas State and took most of his coaching staff with him. The fourtime FCS champion had an integral role in making the football program what it is. Replacing him will be Matt Entz, the defensive coordinator under Klieman. This will be the first head coaching job for the 21-year
assistant coaching veteran, and he will have some big shoes to fill. Helping him along the way will be some of his new staff hires. Replacing Entz as defensive coordinator will be David Braun, former Northern Iowa defensive line coach. A.J. Blazek will be taking the spot as offensive line coach. The former Big Ten center will be coming fresh off two years as an assistant coach at Rutgers. Former NDSU player Grant Olson will be coming in as the new wide receivers coach, and Dan Larson has been added as the running backs coach. Some familiar faces will be alongside the new guys in the coaching room. Bubba Williams, Kody Morgan, Nick Goeser, Randy Hedberg and Tyler Roehl will all be returning to NDSU. One of the big hurdles for the fresh, new staff is the number of graduating seniors. With over 20, lots of decisions will have to be made on who will be taking their positions. One of the biggest and obvious spots is quarterback. Easton Stick had been NDSU’s quarterback for
three seasons, in which the last two ended in championships. With Stick graduated and off to the pros, it is time to find a replacement. Right now, there are four quarterbacks gunning for the position. Redshirt freshman Trey Lance is probably not too far in the running due to age and status. The real battle comes between competing sophomore quarterbacks Noah Sanders and Holden Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss was the goto backup to send in when the Bison were largely leading opponents, but a bit of wrench has also been thrown into the works. Junior Zeb Noland has recently transferred in from Iowa State where he played several games as a starter. Will he be here to take the starting job, or will Entz stick with Hotchkiss, the kid who’s been in the program waiting for his chance? The choice will be big for NDSU football no matter which way they choose to go. Some other notable voids that will need to be filled in the roster include running back, defensive line, wide receiver, cornerback and safety. With not one but two key

running backs graduating and heading to NFL mini camps, Bruce Anderson and Lance Dunn, the Herd will be taking a major hit to its run game. On top of Stick, the passing game will also be taking a loss. Wide receiver Darrius Shepherd, another NFL hopeful, has graduated
as well. Lastly, the defense as a whole will need some restructuring. Key players such as monster defensive linemen Greg Menard and Aaron Steidl and defensive backs Jalen Allison and Robbie Grimsley won’t be returning this fall. The Bison have a
long road ahead of them, but they’ve pulled off a transition like this before. I don’t know if I would expect a championship right off the bat from coach Entz. However, with excellence expected every single year, another title run may be in the cards.
