EXPLORE Convention Grows in Second Year One hundred undergrads present research ranging from wetland restoration to cognitive mechanisms Amanda Johnson Staff Writer

One hundred undergraduates are registered to present research presentations at the second annual NDSU EXPLORE Convention on Tuesday. The morning and afternoon will see oral presentations in the Memorial Union’s upper level, showcasing the broad studies at NDSU. Provost Beth Ingram knows how diverse students’ studies can be at North Dakota State.

“NDSU Explore showcases the many students involved in research and creative works on our campus,” Ingram said. “This event is a stellar example of how we celebrate the hard work and dedication of students at a research university.”

Year two

The EXPLORE program was started in 2014 by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Creative Activity.

Although this is only the programs second year, EXPLORE is an annual celebration of undergraduate research and scholarly activity that goes on at NDSU, said the office’s associate vice president Sheri Anderson. The convention is open to everyone

to attend, with morning session presentations from 10-11:30 a.m. and afternoon sessions from 1:30-3 p.m.

Oral presentations will be in the MU’s Hidatsa and Rose Rooms. Poster presentations will be in the Plains Room.

Participating students are able to have their presentations considered for an award, with winning projects receiving funding to present their work at a national conference, Anderson said.

EXPLORE’s welcome speaker this year is Jenny Olin Shanahan, director of undergraduate research at Bridgewater State University. She will be speaking on how participation in undergraduate research transforms students.

The opening speech will take place at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the Memorial Union’s Great Room.

Anderson said the research students do transforms them during their college careers with deeper engagements and marked academic gains.

She added that Shanahan’s talk is relevant for students, faculty and administrators alike.

Ranges of research

A wide variety of presentations from all fields of study is on display at EXPLORE. “Our students are working on

“This event is a stellar example of how we celebrate the hard work and dedication of students at a research university.”

- Provost Beth Ingram projects ranging from biodegradable fishing gear to the preservation of artifacts at a county museum,” Ingram said.

Senior Cooper Bierscheid, a manufacturing engineering major, will be presenting on “Utilizing Additive Manufacturing Process for Medical Devices,” a presentation about finding alternative manufacturing methods for prosthetics.

Senior theater arts major Nicole McArthur is presenting research on the accuracy of the historical context in the Broadway play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”

Junior Nicole Ellingson, a natural resources management major, studied wetland restoration at the Albert Ekre Grassland Preserve southwest of Fargo and will present her research.

EXPLORE participants could either do research on their own or in a group.

EXPLORE gives students a chance to share their research or creative work with the NDSU community while

allowing them to meet other people involved in their field or interested in their subject area.

In addition, all EXPLORE participants receive experience presenting research and new skills.

EXPLORE is guided by a committee including faculty, libraries staff and staff from the TRIO/McNair Scholars program.

Student, faculty, and staff alike are encouraged to attend as many sessions as they can and to engage with students about their research and creative activities they are presenting on.

Other opportunities stemming from EXPLORE include preparing for graduate school or the work force.

EXPLORE has increased in its second year, and NDSU plans to continue the event in hopes it will grow.

“Our students are doing remarkable work, and we’re incredibly excited to see some of that showcased on Tuesday,” Anderson said.

Senators Propose Affordable College Textbook Act Act could increase number of books available freely online Erica Nitschke Spectrum Staff

As a junior in the nursing program, Liz Dauk said this has been her cheapest semester yet.

This fall, she spent over $400 on textbooks. Her first semester on campus, she spent closer to $1,300.

She said nursing students can expect to pay about $450 to $500 per semester on textbooks alone.

That doesn’t include the cost of additional needed supplies — scrubs, stethoscopes, required clothing and kits.

Though she loves the program, Dauk said that “all of the hidden costs are a little frustrating.”

In the last 30 years, college textbook prices have risen three times faster than the rate of inflation, according to the American Enterprise Institute.

In comparison, the price of a college textbook has increased faster than tuition, health care costs and housing prices. Since 1978, the cost has increased 812 percent.

Today, College Board recommends the average student budget $1,200 for one year’s worth of books and supplies.

Clocks update as Daylight Saving Time comes to campus

“Our bill would ... allow students and families to keep more of their hard-earned money.”

- Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.)

The number that daunts Dauk and others like her across the country.

In early October, Senate Democrats introduced a bill hoping to reduce costs for students and compete with textbook publishers.

The ultimate (and inexpensive) birthday checklist

The Affordable College Textbook Act would offer grants to support the creation and use of open textbooks — books available under an open licence to use, share and adapt for free.

Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Al Franken (D-Minn.), who introduced the bill to Congress, said in an Oct. 8 press call they hope the bill could save students thousands of dollars.

Sen. Franken, a member of the Senate Education Committee, said the skyrocketing cost of textbooks is often overlooked.

Daylight Saving Time

Includes Campus Clocks Old Main, Klai Hall clocks update automatically Erin Anderson Staff Writer

GABBY HARTZE | THE SPECTRUM

Old Main’s clock is updated automatically while facilities management electricians manage the clock year-round.

In addition to dropping leaves and temperatures, another event makes a change in fall: Daylight Saving Time.

At 2 a.m. Sunday, clocks will fall back an hour, to save more daylight, thus saving energy and electricity, as politicians thought when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act into law in 1966.

On the North Dakota State campus, hundreds of clocks have to fall back this weekend.

Mike Ellingson, director of facilities management, said campus’s clocks are set back both manually and automatically.

Electricians from facilities management are in charge of the Old Main

clock tower, which features an analog clock face.

Ellingson said the Old Main and Klai Hall clocks have been updated so they automatically adjust to Daylight Saving Time.

He added that all electronic Primex clocks on campus update automatically using their own technology.

Daylight Saving Time is not something some students consider when it comes to campus clocks.

“I’ve literally never thought about the clocks on campus,” said junior Carlie Krueger, an agricultural communication major.

Cell phones and computers update automatically via satellites, similar to the way cell phones change time when traveling between time zones.

“I personally prefer ‘springing forward’ over

‘falling back,’” Krueger said. “I don’t like when it gets dark so early every day.”

While most of the world does abide by Daylight Saving Time in their respective zone; however, the states of Arizona and Hawaii do not observe the time change.

Daylight Saving Time never appealed to Arizona lawmakers, for the falling back would mean more sunlight in evening hours in Arizona, thus increasing air conditioning and energy use.Hawaii does not observe Daylight Saving Time due its location on the equator.

“This just means that winter is well on its way and it will be a long couple months ahead,” Krueger said of Daylight Saving Time.

Clocks will “spring forward” at 2 a.m. March 13 next year.

Lauren Wilvers was crowned Miss NDSU in November 2012 at the annual mock beauty pageant.

NDSU 2014, and the event resonated with her.

“I thought to myself, ‘Boy, I’d really like to be nominated next year by some organization,’” she said.

Contestant Rachele Arnoldssen said she also dreamed of gracing the stage in a Miss NDSU pageant.

“Since my freshman year I’ve always secretly wanted to be a contestant and I’m really excited to finally be nominated,” the senior pharmacy major said.

Arnoldssen was nominated by the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

The impact is great for Nokomis, Rowe and Clarens both said. Miss

NDSU has provided support for the organization for at least the last five years, Rowe said.

“You know you can volunteer your time sporadically, and every hour makes a difference ... but when there’s consistency, that compounds,” Clarens said. “That means even more to the organization.”

The impact of the Miss NDSU pageant extends beyond one stage on one night.

The annual mock beauty pageant returns Thursday night, put on by the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity to benefit Nokomis Child Care Center.

Tickets are $5 for the event that can rack up over $8,000 for the organization providing free childcare to low-income families in Fargo-Moorhead.

Alpha Tau Omega philanthropy chair Cody Rowe, a junior in social science education, said his fraternity and Nokomis have built a special relationship through the Miss NDSU pageant.

“They pretty much rely on us every fall to come in with about $8,000 or $9,000, and it helps keep the program running through the fall because $1,500 is the cost that provides childcare for a child for a year,” Rowe said.

“It’s been a relationship we’ve had the past couple

years.”

Student organizations nominate female students to participate in the pageant, ranging from Greek life to Saddle & Sirloin to student government.

Nineteen women are participating as contestants in Miss NDSU 2015, a higher number than past years’ numbers of 15 or 16, Rowe said.

Contestants are judged in three categories including Bison pride, a talent portion and formal wear.

“It’s actually really funny because you get to see the super fans you see on ‘College GameDay,’ but times a thousand,” Rowe said of the Bison Pride judging.

Talents generally fall among skits and lip syncs, he added, such as contestant Laura Clarens. She said she was deciding between two skits, “Fountains” and “Color Blobs.”

“It’s definitely gonna, I think, stand out, and we’ll see if the crowd thinks it’s funny or not,” said Clarens, a senior in civil engineering.

She was nominated by the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.

NDSU's Native American Heritage Month is sponsored by the NDSU Office of Multicultural Programs

Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa and a member of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation.

“I’ve asked people who, whether they’re students or faculty at NDSU, to offer a story about someone or some event from their tribal community,” DavisWallette said. “Something that we wouldn’t hear in a classroom, or necessarily hear about through the Internet.

“It might be a community story that they would like to inform the NDSU community about, whether it’s a family member or just a strong leader that they want,” she said.

If Thursday morning has no rain, the event’s plans are to have a teepee set up at the opening event.

All events are free and open to the public and will be held at Memorial Union.

“I’ve seen great support from the NDSU community in attending the events that we offer.”

- Jaclynn Davis-Wallette, NDSU tribal college partnership coordinator American people.

The topics of the events will range from NDSU staff discussing their work with North Dakota tribes to discussing the controversial issue of fracking on the Turtle Mountain Reservation to native poets reading their works.

“Native American Heritage Month is a wonderful opportunity for the Native American people groups to showcase their cultures, their languages, their issues within the tribal communities, and it’s also a great opportunity for learning about all

of those as well,” said Davis-Wallette, NDSU’s tribal college partnership coordinator.

“I’ve seen great support from the NDSU community in attending the events that we offer,” she said. “Most of the events have been at the Memorial Union over the years during the day.”

The opening event is set to be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Grandmother Earth’s Gifts of Life Garden west of the Memorial Union.

Nursing students often pay up to $500 on textbooks per semester.

TEXTBOOKS | FROM FRONT “The reality is that our college students are taking on more debt than ever while also working more and more hours to stay afloat,” he said. “ … our bill would help address this problem and allow students and families to keep more of their hard-earned money.”

The act would support university programs focused on the creation of open textbooks.

The goal is to give professors an incentive to write, build courses around and adapt already existing textbooks students can

access freely rather than those that costs students hundreds of dollars.

“I think it would make college more affordable and students would be able to do better in their classes,” Dauk said. “I know some students don’t get their books because they can’t afford them, and then their grades suffer.”

Sen. Durbin could not assign a total cost to the initiative, but promised the use of open-source books is “cost effective.”

Ethan Senack, a higher education advocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, cited campuses where similar grant programs have succeeded like the

FILE PHOTO | THE SPECTRUM

University of Massachusetts Amherst, which he said spent between $40,000 and $60,000 in grants to adopt open-source textbooks.

In four years, it’s saved students over $1.3 million.

Dauk said she knows of some professors who have written or modified books for their courses.

Still, she seemed unsure others might be willing to take that extra step to find, create or adapt an open textbook if they have an option that works as is.

“Honestly in the nursing department, I don’t think the professors would be,” she said. “But if they are truly passionate and care about the students, I believe they would.”

Great Rides Bike Share went to sleep Sunday, but a new study may bring it back for winter.

Ali Rahim Taleqani, a graduate student studying transportation and logistics, created a study to research extending Bike Share into the winter months.

His study points out that cycling is difficult during winter due to low temperatures and ice and snow.

Some cold weather cities with bike share programs have developed different approaches to keep their systems operational in winter.

Great Rides Bike Share is a season system that started in mid-March with

101 B-cycles available to North Dakota Students with unlimited half-hour checkouts.

Tom Smith, a member of Great Rides’s board of directors, said it will be interesting to see the results of Taleqani’s study, even if Great Rides did not initiate it.

Smith said three main hurdles might make a Bike Share winter extension difficult to accomplish.

“First we want the bikes to last a long time; the students use the heck out of the bikes, which is great, but would the usage stay the same throughout the brutal winter months? We want our bikes used up by riders not Mother Nature,” Smith said.

Another obstacle would be powering the docking stations, as the stations

run on solar power, Smith said.

“This is very hard to accomplish in the winter months. Even now in November we are struggling with the sun not being as strong; it will only get worse,” he said.

Safety concerns must also be met in creating a winter extension of Bike Share.

“It will be great to see how many students would be interested in the winter months,” Smith said, “and if we could devise a more efficient way to use solar power than that would be great, but until then it would be a difficult task to undertake.”

The results of Taleqani’s research will be shared at the Cycling Conference in February in St. PaulMinneapolis.

FARGO FASHION

Tied and True

Keyona Elkins

Contributing writer

When just about every major fashion blogger starts showing up on your Instagram feed in the same accessory, you know it’s something to pay attention to.

Neck scarves and bandanas began popping up on fashion’s favorite streetstyle stars as early as last spring. The fashion bloggers who reign over the stylish side of the internet slowly but surely hopped on the bandwagon.

The trend is one part Parisian chic, one part Western gunslinger and all mysterious cool-girl. Neck scarves may conjure up visions of poodle skirts and sweater sets, but the way girls are wearing them today is very modern.

Think less “Pink Ladies,” more “Cali girls.”

You can tie a bandana around your neck the classic western way, simply folded into a triangle and tied at the back.

You can also wrap it around twice and tie it in front, or use this technique with the triangle folded over a few times to get a choker-like look.

If you want to go for something softer, find a neck scarf in a semi-sheer fabric and fun print. You can tie it in a bow or half bow, knot it or wrap it around and hide the ends. Play with different sizes and shapes from small sheer kerchiefs to classic Hermes style square silk scarves.

Don’t be afraid to go vintage and raid the thrift stores or your mom’s closet for something unique.

• • • •

Fold a scarf into a triangle Fold the triangle over until it’s a long strip Wrap the scarf around your neck twice Knot in the front or back

How to wear it

Throw on a neck scarf anytime you would otherwise wear a statement necklace or regular scarf to accessorize your outfit. They can add a laid-back edge to more formal dresses, but they are easiest to wear when you let one be the star among simple, casual pieces.

Neck scarves work well with jackets of all types — leather moto jackets, denim jackets, blazers — as well as tops that have an open neckline, such as partially unbuttoned dress shirts.

You can use a neck scarf or bandana to add interest to a high necked top or dress by tucking it in to act as a collar.

Leandra Medine, the style maven behind the popular blog Man Repeller and strong advocate of the neck scarf, has mastered this trick. “I will never get sick of wearing neck scarves,” she wrote about the accessory. It can’t hurt to at least see what the buzz is about and try out the trend for yourself.

It’s Your Birthday and You’ll Eat Free If You Want To The ultimate (and inexpensive) birthday week checklist Meghan Battest

“If you time it right, you can be celebrating your birthday hangover with pancakes every year.”

Staff Writer

So maybe it isn’t your birthday for a few months, or maybe you’ve just recently hit the ripe old age of twenty-fun.

Regardless, Fargo has everything you need to celebrate in the cheapest style possible. And though your birthday is only one day, you can continue to reap the rewards for at least a solid week, if you plan wisely.

Below are the best birthday deals available for college kids looking to celebrate on a mac-and-cheese budget.

Below you will find a full workweek of offers sure to satisfy your starving palette, even if your birthday is not until the weekend.

Monday

Monday is by far the best day of the week to celebrate your birthday, especially if it isn’t the actual date of your birth.

Forget Sunday Funday … you’ve just found its replacement.

Your best options are as follows: Lucky 13’s Pub, south of Target on 17th Avenue South, has one epic (and generally unknown) deal. If everyone in your party is 21, you can get a free fishbowl of alcohol that they light on fire in front of you. If that isn’t enough, it’s also $5 burgers all day.

Old Broadway, on Broadway and NP Avenue, actually serves food. And on any Monday of your birth month, you can get a free meal any time after 5 p.m.-10 p.m. so long as you bring a friend.

Borrowed Bucks Roadhouse, on Westrac Drive just off of 13th Avenue South next to Sickie’s Garage, is a great

place to end the night. Buck’s gives you a free 40 oz. bucket to fill with almost any alcohol of your choice and a screen-printed T-shirt with your face on it every Monday of your birthday month. Literally, they take the picture and print it on a t-shirt for you right then and there. Oh, and the buckets are only $5 to refill.

Tuesday

After a long night at Buck’s, IHOP on 45th Street South is just the place to go to reset your system. If you sign up for its rewards program (for free), you get a stack of pancakes (for free). And it is the gift that keeps on giving.

Not only do you get free pancakes on the day you sign up, you also get free pancakes on that same date every single year plus on your actual birthday. So just ensure that the day you sign up is not also your birthday — it would defeat the purpose. If you time it right, you can be celebrating your birthday hangover with pancakes every year.

Wednesday

Though not an official Wednesday Deal, take a drive on 25th Street to Boppa’s Bagels for a free lunch on any day of your birth week!

If you are truly up to the freebie challenge, spend the rest of today signing up for other birthday deals you can cash in later, like at Coldstone’s, Starbuck’s and Caribou Coffee.

Thursday

Again, though not an official Thursday deal, if you signed up for Coldstone’s rewards you have a two-week period to use their birthday buy-one, get-one special.

That means you can cash in at Coldstone’s 45th Street South location during that timeframe and benefit. Just remember to bring a friend, unless you can handle two Gotta-Have-Its. For the evening, the best deal in town on Thursdays if you are a lady is Ladies’ Night at The Windbreak. The bar is in south Fargo off of Exit 62 on 32nd Avenue South.

As a lady, you drink free from 9 p.m. to midnight; it doesn’t get cheaper than that. If you have a Y-chromosome it is still a good deal, with drinks and shots costing $2.

Friday

In this hypothetical (and also ideal) world, today is your birthday. Of course, tons of deals exist in the area, but these give you the cheapest feasts.

First thing’s first, go to Speakeasy in south Moorhead and pick up a $10 gift card. No purchase is required, and you can use it at any time (say, tomorrow to extend the greatest birthday week ever).

Remember, you can only pick it up on your actual birthday.

Take Main Avenue on your way back and stop by Sandy’s Donuts for a free donut. Wash it down at Caribou Coffee or

Starbuck’s with a free coffee drink, which you did the legwork for on Wednesday by signing up online for their deals. If you are still hungry after that, Perkin’s will give you a free meal of strawberry pancakes or a slice of pie.

For lunch, have something spicy at Paradiso or Mexican Village, both of which offer free birthday entrees with proof of ID. More of a breakfast-for-lunch kind of person? Denny’s will set you up with a free Grand Slam, again with an ID. The last lunch option (or maybe afternoon snack option) would be Grand Junction on 19th Avenue North, where you can go to get a free sandwich.

At dinnertime, class it up and go to Grazie’s Italian Grill for a free pizza or pasta of your choice. If you would rather have a large group atmosphere, Osaka Hibachi Grill is another great option, offering a free entrée and a great picture of you wearing a hideous mask surrounded by all of your friends.

Finally, have some dessert at Cherry Berry or Tutti Frutti, who give you up to 12 oz. of free frozen yogurt on your birthday.

If you decide to go downtown to celebrate, ask bartenders if they offer any deals. Frequently, you’ll find that they’re willing to give you a free birthday shot if you ask nicely.

This list is by no means exhaustive. Flip things around to accommodate the day of the week your birthday falls on, add your own deals or simply choose the ones you like the best. You can find loads of other specials online at many different places.

Also, if your favorite restaurant is not listed anywhere, it never hurts to stop by and ask.

Happy Freaking Birthday.

NoDak Moment| Reach for the Sky Jack Dura

Spectrum Staff

North Dakota has few claims on a global scale, but the third flattest state in America does have bragging rights to the tallest structures in the western hemisphere.

The KVLY-TV mast west of Blanchard, N.D., stretches 2,063 feet into the sky. The television transmitting mast was constructed in summer 1963 and is used by local TV station KVLY to transmit its Channel 11 broadcast over 9,700 square miles.

For many nonconsecutive years, the KVLYTV tower was the tallest man-made structure on earth. A Poland radio mast surpassed North Dakota’s mast in 1972, but fell in a guy-wire exchange in 1991.

Until 2010, the mast was again the tallest structure in the world. The completion of the Burj Khalifa, a 163-floor Dubai skyscraper, edged out the KVLY-TV tower, as did a Tokyo steel tower and a Shanghai skyscraper in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Today the KVLY-TV tower is the fourth

Trying a New Diet

What becomes of my boredom

Kelsey Dirks Features Editor

I have taken this semester as an opportunity to try a few new things, albeit slightly odd things like bingo or a burger with a black bun.

My friends have noticed this new adventurous side of me and have decided to take advantage of it by asking — more like daring me — to try something new.

Their most recent challenge for me has been the Whole30 diet. I would like to think that I am a relatively healthy person.

My weight is proportionate to my height, and I drag myself to the gym at least once every other week. That means I’m healthy right? Granted, I do eat pizza rolls and corndogs on the daily. So maybe this diet will be a good thing.

This fad diet is limited to 30 days.

During this time I will not be allowed to consume: • Sugar of any kind • Alcohol

• Grains • Legumes • Dairy • Processed food Additionally I cannot weigh myself during this time or count calories. At the end of 30 days I should be feeling whole, or so the Whole30 website tells me.

Because I am a good friend and have nothing better to do — more the latter of the two — I will sacrifice my pizza rolls for the sake of the story and my health.

I will start this diet once I finish my full bag of pizza rolls. It shouldn’t be too hard.

Give me a weekend full of Netflix binging, and I’ll have those babies (along with the rest of my fridge contents) polished off.

I’ve been living a lie, my faithful “Soggy” readers.

As I’ve chronicled in my past articles, I, for lack of better words, jog. Well, at least I used to.

Then I completed my first half marathon in 2014, a race for which I trained heavily.

I ran, on average, three miles a day during crunch time. My platonic pal Callie and I slogged around whenever and where ever we could.

After crossing the downtown finish line, being in the fittest shape of my life, I decided it was OK for me to slightly slow my jogging regime. And by slowing I meant I stopped.

A couple of health issues popped up that summer, too, and I was in no hurry to lace up my tennis shoes.

So I sat and slept in a comatose state until the New Year. It wasn’t a resolution that got the shoes back on my size-12 feet;

tallest structure in the world, but the tallest guyed mast on earth. The mast’s sister to the south, meanwhile, is the planet’s fifth tallest structure.

The KRDK-TV tower is three feet shorter than the KVLY mast, but unlike its sister, it has collapsed. The 2,060-feet mast first fell in 1968 when a helicopter severed some guy wires, killing the four people onboard the aircraft. The tower fell again in spring 1997 when wind and ice brought it down in Blizzard Hannah, the storm that preceded the Red River flood of 1997.

Sticking up out of flat farmland in the Red River Valley, the KVLY-TV tower is fairly isolated in rural Traill County. From its top, one can see for dozens of miles in every direction, owing to the flatness of the Red River Valley. In 20 minutes, an elevator can take two people to the point under the mast’s 113-foot transmitting antenna.

Since its construction, the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Aviation Administration made policy regulations prohibiting masts taller than 2,000 feet, except in “exceptional cases.” Outside of North Dakota’s two transmitting masts, the U.S.’s next tallest structures are another mast in California and an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

rather, it was propaganda mail from Mark Knutson and the Fargo Marathon.

“How far will you go?” my newly received fridge magnet asked, in the most mocking, inanimate of ways.

I trained, albeit less intensively, for my second half marathon. The spark like I had for my first race was gone, but, with the help of some friends, we persevered.

And I’ve been in hibernation since, trying to wake myself back up to the love I had for this ancient activity.

Have I lost that loving feeling, Righteous Brothers? Am I no longer ready to run, Dixie Chicks? Often, it feels like it.

This is where “Soggy Jogging,” if my blueprints go to plan, saves the day.

If I continue to write about my jogging stories, sooner or later, I will run out of past memories and will need to drum up new content.

My running running column in The Spectrum will force me to start running again. It hasn’t happened yet. But the mounting shame and hatred of deceiving my readers will get me going again.

Beach House’s dream pop continues to evolve and become more grounded.

Grimes’ maximalist experimental pop maintains its clever hooks and unconventional Joanna Newsom’s signature folk sound expands on new album Divers. soundscapes.

Fall into the Season’s Best Year end music releases worth noting

Jack Hastings Staff Writer

As the last few months of 2015 continue to roll by, numerous artists are sneaking new albums into the running for best of the year.

Grimes, Beach House and Joanna Newsom are three in particular who have made an impact this fall.

Grimes: “Art Angels”

Grimes’ third fulllength album, “Visions,” released in 2012, perplexed and fascinated listeners.

Her strange creation of maximalist experimental pop quickly took the alternative music scene by storm.

After a three-year hiatus, Grimes has returned and announced her fourth album “Art Angels,”

available digitally Friday.

As an artist, Grimes takes full control of her content and image. She writes, performs and produces the music herself and creates the album art.

A good deal of controversy surrounds this upcoming release, as Grimes had previously completed a fourth album, but scrapped it to start again from scratch.

Though some find this pretentious, I believe it is an admirable quality in a musician understanding their potential and not settling.

Earlier this year, Grimes released a song for the lost album called “REALiTi,” an ethereal yet cerebral masterpiece of experimental pop. Although the track is only a demo, it is exceptionally produced.

The first single for “Art Angels,” “Flesh without Blood,” was released this past week. The track is a power pop anthem that aims to destroy misogyny in the music industry while featuring blaring synths and guitar riffs.

“Art Angels” should be a more than sufficient follow up to the critically acclaimed “Visions.”

The album shows a more confident and political side to Grimes’ artistry.

Beach House: “Depression Cherry” and “Thank Your Lucky Stars”

In the world of dream pop, no one does it better than Beach House. Creating ornate, lush soundscapes out of languid guitars and floating keyboards, the band has found their knack and use this equation

accordingly.

It is easy to get lost in the music, as one song nearly seamlessly blends into the next with repetitive riffs that never seem to grow monotonous.

Beach House released their fifth album “Depression Cherry” in August. On this record, the band demonstrates and even more deconstructed sound, and a simpler approach to the creative process.

The percussion is practically nonexistent while the emphasis is being placed on a few instruments and their melodies.

Less than two months after the release of “Depression Cherry,” Beach House announced their sixth album, “Thank Your Lucky Stars.” The new album was comprised of songs recorded at the same

time as the previous album.

“Stars” contains a much harsher sound with the incorporation of distorted guitars, but the album is still something that could soundtrack a dream.

Joanna Newsom: “Divers”

Joanna Newsom is the queen of folk music. With prodigal harp skills and distinct vocal cadence, Newsom has captured the hearts of many and baffled critics.

Newsom never strayed far from being grand and her work never being less than avant-garde. Her 2006 album “Ys” was an adorned and tragic five-song suite totaling 55 minutes.

This effort was followed by her 2010 magnum opus, “Have One On Me,” a triple album over two hours long full of baroque pop and jazz influences.

With her new release “Divers,” Newsom has gone back to the basics and made a straightforward yet still impactful record.

The instrumentation on this record has significantly expanded compered to her previous ones. Dense with opulent arrangements, “Divers” doesn’t fail to astound. Ranging from piano ballads to some kind of Renaissance punk rock, Newsom finds success in changing the pace.

The most memorable quality of “Divers” is Newsom’s story telling.

The album is comprised of vignettes from the last five years on the topics of love, mortality and sustainability.

The entirety of Newsom’s musical output shares a come theme and that is the listener leaving with more than they came.

How-To: The Glorious Public Domain The ins and outs of copyright law Caleb Laude

Contributing Writer

Copyright law is a bit messy.

Plagiarism is a serious offence with hefty penalties and is often a one-way ticket to UND. To avoid any mishaps, one should become familiar with the glory that is the public domain.

Public domain materials are defined by our good friend Wikipedia as works, “…whose intellectual

property rights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable.” These works are free to distribute, copy and fiddle with as much as one desires.

Math formulas and the laws of physics are public domain, as are Shakespeare’s works.

“Moby Dick” is public domain, as is “The Great Gatsby.” Works enter the public after a certain period of time, or if the creator decides to relinquish rights voluntarily.

Typically, folks are sent

into the public domain’s warm embrace by assigned English reading. Project Gutenberg is a bottomless pit of e-books and epub files, all public domain. Just download and enjoy, or read online.

There are also nonfiction sources on Gutenberg like government documents, leaflets, philosophical texts and biographies. Yet, there is plenty more available in the public domain.

The Graphics Fairy, for example, is a do-it-yourself focused blog which features

public domain graphics and artwork generally pulled from vintage postcards and catalogues. Any ownership over these graphics has long expired, leaving the pictures copyright free to use.

Need a Santa Claus graphic for a homemade Christmas card but want to avoid getting dragged into court by Coca-Cola’s fleet of lawyers? Use a public domain Santa from The Graphics Fairy blog.

There are plenty on there waiting to be pasted into a card and mailed off to

spread Christmas cheer.

Eduscapes.com is another good site, particularly for students looking for photos to use in presentations. Eduscapes lists a couple dozen sites that contain open source copyright free images.

It should also be noted that materials produced by the United States government automatically enter the public domain, thus any images they produce can be used for any purpose.

No further major fiction

books or films are set to enter the public domain until Jan. 1 2019. Still, check out what is already there – anyone can find something interesting.

From quirky old-school graphics ripped out of a Woolworth’s catalogue, to United States government pamphlets illustrating how to build your own nuclear fallout shelter, the public domain is less a basket of restriction free content and more a massive knowledge heap ready to be picked through.

Embracing Your Creative Side

Fine arts as a part of a well-rounded education

Christian Weber Contributing Writer

In a series of controversial studies meant to clarify the relationship between fine arts and academic success, Lois Hetland and Ellen Winner suggest participation in fine arts programs doesn’t necessarily help students succeed in other areas, namely mathematics, scientific reasoning and reading comprehension.

This is contrary to the assertions of several previous and subsequent reports; however, according to the researchers, we’re missing the point.

Instead of focusing on the effects fine arts programs have on other, admittedly more marketable, skills, Hetland and Winner contend both policy-makers and students should value the arts for what they are: an indispensable component of humanity’s cultural, psychological and intellectual heritage.

Proficiency in singing, dancing, painting, drawing, writing and other artistic skills may not directly affect students’ academic success. But, if students don’t nurture their creative sensibilities, they fail to experience an integral part of their identity and exclude an important educational opportunity.

Researcher Cathy Malchiodi redefines art as a testament to human resilience. She argues artistic creation is a reparative process, expressing “the drive toward health and wellbeing, not merely signposts of (negative psychological phenomena).”

Let’s take a look at the importance of a wellrounded education. The term “university” is a Middle English word that stems from the Latin noun “universitas,” or “the whole.” Educational institutions similar to modern colleges and universities became ubiquitous in Europe in the Medieval era, and flourished

during the 15th and 16th centuries, at the peak of the Renaissance.

These schools didn’t offer specialized programs like modern universities: there weren’t hundreds of academic majors to choose from. Additionally, they didn’t necessarily prepare students for a specific profession, apart from scholarly or clerical work.

Instead, universities offered a comprehensive education, one that encompassed “the whole” of human knowledge.

Pupils gained competence in subjects ranging from Classical literature to Christian theology to astronomy and chemistry.

A well-rounded education was considered essential for students to succeed and inured them to the political, economic and social climate of the time.

Of course, in the present day, things are a little different. Although students are required to take some core classes, a degree of specialization is required for most well paying

positions, as well as a place in graduate school.

Most students are tempted to master only a set of specific skills that will secure them a job or a seat after graduation.

In theory, students are preparing themselves for a comfortable and fulfilling life by honing marketable skills. However, mastery in a single area and ignorance of or incompetence in others can prove just as detrimental as having superficial knowledge of but a lack of expertise in a variety of subjects.

Most graduate schools and employers aren’t looking for students who “play by the rules,” so to speak. That is, they prefer to enroll or hire students who exhibit a broad range of interests and skills, not students who’ve mastered only the essentials. For example, most American medical schools recommend that students take not only core science and mathematics courses, but also courses in writing and the humanities.

• Less than 43 % of college students will be employed in their field within 1 year of graduation, compared to over 90% from The Salon Professional Academy (TSPA) • On average, TSPA is 70% less expensive than a state college education and takes 1/4 of the time

For more information about our graduation rates, the median loan debt of students who completed the program and other important information visit www.tspafargo.com

Additionally, many prefer students with skills or experience in areas that have nothing to do with medicine: Student A, with a 4.0 GPA and a 40 MCAT but little else could lose his or her seat to Student B, with a 3.75 GPA, a 35 MCAT and experience in several extra-curricular activities, anything from College Republicans to History Club.

Most admissions committees reason that a well-rounded student makes a better physician. He or she, presumably, has better interpersonal skills and a wider array of knowledge than a student with expertise in the sciences but little to no experience in other areas.

To clarify, it’s not that History Club or College Republicans contributed in any appreciable way to Student B’s scientific proficiency or academic standing. It’s that their broader interests show that they consider their education more than a series of stepping-stones toward

$200K a year.

The same goes for virtually every profession, from business administration to ecological research. Employers want employees who can make unique connections and come up with creative solutions based on a panoramic educational foundation.

That’s interesting and all, but what does this have to do with fine arts?

If students participate in fine arts programs, a choir or band, a theatrical production, they’re not only valuing their psychological well-being and expressing their resilience, they’re also preparing themselves for a successful life after graduation by pairing their creative interests with their academic strengths, giving them a clear advantage over their hyper-specialized peers.

So, try out for a musical, locate your dusty clarinet, pick up a canvas and a set of acrylics, discovering your creative side can only benefit you.

Just Do Your Job Let me buy my basic drink and go about my basic way

Meghan Pegel Spectrum Staff

I stopped by a coffee shop a few days ago for something sweet. Usually I get an Americano or just a plain-Jane medium roast coffee, but I felt my sugar level was low (an excuse I admittedly use too often), so I decided to get a little fancier.

I chose a sugar-free caramel latte because honestly, I can’t tell the difference whether it’s sugar-free, and I may as well get the one that is allegedly better for you.

I ordered with a warm smile and used the manners that my momma so diligently taught me throughout my childhood, yet I was answered with a disappointing slope in the cashier’s shoulders and a sigh from the woman

behind her who would be making my drink.

Did I do something wrong? I looked behind me and saw there was only one other person in line on his phone, then glanced behind the counter and saw there were a total of four workers seemingly just standing around.

Oh, I’m sorry. Did I just interrupt your organizational laziness at the place of your employment? Are you saddened because it will take you an extra 45 seconds to make my desired drink instead of your hope in handing me a cup to selfpump my own coffee?

I get it. Really, I do. I spent seven years of my life making pizzas at the local Papa Murphy’s Take and Bake. There are plenty of things I would have rather been doing than making specialty pizzas with half and half sauces and stuffed crust gourmet requests.

On second thought, perhaps it wasn’t the effort of making my drink as much as it was the drink itself because I know sugarfree flavors require the same amount of exertion of

Are you saddened because it will take you an extra 45 seconds to make my desired drink instead of your hope in handing me a cup to self-pump my own coffee? energy as a “sugared” one does, and I wasn’t lying when I said that it usually takes under a minute in doing so.

Maybe they were annoyed that I was being a “basic chick.” For those of you who are not familiar with the term, Urban Dictionary describes this as “someone who is unflinchingly upholding of the status quo and stereotypes of their gender without even realizing it.

She engages in typical, unoriginal behaviors, modes of dress, speech, and likes.

She is tragically/laughably unaware of her utter lack of specialness and intrigue.”

Fair enough. It’s true that I may be shamelessly saving the calories for later, and I understand that I was not in a major coffee entity

like Starbucks or Caribou, corporations that see the majority of the “girly” drinks. But that is all beside the point.

I’ve come to realize that small, local coffee shops have become more and more jaded with the idea of specialty drinks. It’s as if you don’t order a black coffee or herbal tea, you will inevitably be judged.

I would argue that the same could be said about small bars versus larger bars and clubs in regards to alcoholic beverages.

If you ask for anything besides a dark beer at some small, local bars, you will receive an eye-roll or two.

Despite “Gummy Bear Martini” clearly advertised on the drink menu, bartenders will judge you. Consider this a

warning, friends.

And true, we loathe the scope of work we have to do in a given hourly paid work shift, but we do it because we get paid for it nonetheless. And we return smiles to the people

whom we service because it’s common decency and socially expected to do so.

For those of you who were wondering, my sugarfree latte was good. I drank all of it and went back during lunch for another.

5 Examples of Feminist Intimidation Tactics

These tactics protect the ideology from fair scrutiny

Matt Frolich Staff Writer

Feminist ideology is constructed so that feminists will never have to subject their beliefs to fair scrutiny. They accomplish this by subjecting heretics to a series of intimidation tactics.

Feminists claim only a radical minority use these intimidation tactics.

However, the reality is if you challenge feminism in an academic setting, it is almost guaranteed you will have one or more of these used against you.

These intimidation tactics are remarkably effective and are the primary reasons why feminist misinformation is disseminated so freely in academia. This is unfortunate as academia is one of the few places that has the resources to refute feminist ideology, as listed below: 1.) Feminists claim to represent women’s interests; therefore, heretics are oppressing women and deserve to be intimidated.

Feminists have several ways of expressing this sentiment, the most common of which is labeling heretics as sexist.

They may also accuse heretics of denigrating women, acting as trolls, being rape apologists, misogynistic, corrupted by their privilege or duped by the patriarchy.

This tactic has the

same meaning and effect regardless of how it is expressed. It is an irrelevant ad hominem attack. It is also a public shaming tactic that can adversely affect the heretic’s personal and professional reputation. In academia, being labeled as sexist can threaten a heretic’s student/ employment status.

2.) Feminists intimidate everybody associated with the heretic.

Feminists consider heresy to be such a heinous injustice that it is wrong to even tolerate it. The heretic’s colleagues, friends and employers deserved to be intimidated as well if they do not stop the heresy.

To feminists, it is inconceivable that anybody would agree with the heretic.

This causes the heretic to be put under pressure from people they can

These intimidation tactics are remarkably effective and are the primary reason why feminist misinformation is disseminated so freely in academia. normally depend on. It also makes the heretic feel guilty that others could be punished for what they are saying.

3.) Feminists destroy evidence that the heresy existed and that intimidation tactics were utilized to silence the heretic.

This has the benefit of silencing heresy without alerting the public to the unethical tactics that are required to create conformity to feminist ideology.

It increases the alienation felt by heretics elsewhere, as they are unaware that other people exist who think the way they do.

4.) Feminists claim that

heresy triggers their posttraumatic stress disorder.

Feminists claim that women are so traumatized by the patriarchy (usually as a result of being raped) that many have developed PTSD. Heretics are not allowed to question the existence of rape culture as it may trigger feminists’ PTSD. Some feminists even claim all forms of heresy (no matter how minor) are a form of violence capable of triggering them.

This is a logical fallacy as the validity of the heretic’s arguments is not related to whether or not it triggers feminists.

It is an intimidation tactic that makes the

heretic appear violent. It also makes the heretic feel unnecessarily guilty for triggering feminists.

5.) Heretics do not have the right to defend themselves against feminist intimidation tactics.

Getting upset with feminists is considered a form of sexism, even when it is in self-defense. This creates a positive feedback wherein the heretic becomes more upset, which makes them appear more sexist.

This is a lose-lose situation for the heretic.

They can either resign themselves to allegations of sexism, or defend themselves, in which case they will be regarded as sexist.

Celebrities Endorse Products for Financial Gain The public is misinformed about products because of deceitfulness

Erik Jonasson II Staff Writer

I am, as I have already stated, not the biggest Donald Trump fan. I would go as far as saying that he is making our country worse — just by opening his mouth.

The day that I started writing this it was an

enjoyable day. I was on my couch after taking my wonderful dog outside, Shaw, and I decided to go on Reddit.

While I was on Reddit, I found a link to a news story.

“Trump says vaccinations are causing an autism epidemic.” Well, that is a topic I haven’t heard out of Trump’s mouth yet, so that is exciting.

We get new material, which is just about as ridiculous as before. No matter how ridiculous this might be, we must understand that these statements from big figures on health care are very, very dangerous. We also have

to realize that it isn’t just Trump making statements like this.

Trump is not the only person in the past few weeks that has said these types of this. Russell Wilson, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback and poster boy for holding puppies and being the best person on the face of the planet, also said something really dangerous.

He tweeted on Aug. 26, “ I believe @Recovery_ Water helped prevent me from getting a concussion based on a bad hit! #NanoBubbles.”

All right, so Russell Wilson believes that a $3

Celebrities are not experts on anything but being on TV, getting paid way too much to play with a ball, being “experts” on having three homes in vacation destinations. bottle of water with some electrolytes, and some more oxygen than regular water, will heal head trauma. That statement is very, very far from the truth.

Concussions are not something that can be healed by a gimmick. They are serious traumatic events that require doctors and

proper action once received.

The only reason he stated this is that he has an endorsement deal with Reliant Recovery Water, which gives him money to promote their products. It’s just anecdotal evidence of his miracle water.

Wilson, like other athletes, makes money from

promoting something that isn’t found scientifically to be healthy for you.

This spans everywhere, into your personal life as well. My girlfriend’s hometown is ravaged by paper-wrap weight loss.

Sorry, wrapping paper around your stomach will not lose weight for you.

This has of course sold because everyone and their brother wants to lose weight. This is the danger of endorsements. People don’t get paid to have a great experience with a product.

They get paid to sell stuff.

Saving Grace

Seniors Plagued from Nightmares of Real World Coming graduates unwilling to grow up, face reality

Part Five FICTION

Amanda Wagar Contributing Writer

Previously, Grace has been in the nurse’s office and learns later from Sam that Piper seems to be missing ...

Her heart pounded painfully against her ribcage; her hands sweaty as she pushed herself forward, running for her life.

She didn’t dare risk a look back to find out who was chasing after her; all she heard was the loud, thundering steps against the cement. They were gaining on her.

“There’s no point in running, Piper,” the feminine voice taunted, so eerily close. “You are only making it harder for yourself.”

She had been waiting for Grace to come back from the nurse, jamming out on her bed to her favorite tunes, dancing and swaying and swinging her hair back and forth because there was no one there to watch her — no one to stand and judge.

It was the weekend: no classes, no commitments, just a full day of fun.

The plan for her afternoon was to have a late lunch with Sam ... God, if only she were with Sam. Scratch that, she would take anything over this blind, fear-driven madness. There was no time to think as she ran out of places to run.

One wrong turn made for the end of the line, leaving her trapped with no escape, chest heaving, fingers stiff against the cold brick wall.

Sickly green eyes grinned at her from the darkness as the woman stalked toward her. Her long, black nails clicked

against a bleached skull that hung from the belt on her hip like a trophy.

“Now, that is much better,” she purred, catching Piper’s chin in her thumb and forefinger, her nails digging into her skin, forcing her to look into her pale face, at black lips and sharp cheeks and those eyes that bore into her, as if she could read her every thought.

“Though it would have been easier in the first place if you had just given into the darkness. I am most displeased ... You’ve been a very bad girl, haven’t you?

Yes, yes you have.”

She tore herself from the woman’s hold, pushing her away. “W-what the hell?

What do you want?” Who talked like that, anyway?

“If this is your idea of a joke, it’s rather sick. Who put you up to this? Thomas?

Jack? Actually, I don’t care.

Just get out of my face,” Piper stammered.

Yeah, she could apologize to Sam about missing lunch, and they could laugh about this whole crazy thing over dinner. She laughed at her.

The woman had the nerve to laugh in her face!

“Oh, you foolish girl.”

She’s crazy. Piper slipped past her, determined to get as far away from this lunatic as possible.

“I’m sorry Piper, I never introduced you to my lovely pet,” the stranger called from behind, her voice accompanied by the sound of clicking claws and the bone against bone. “This is Pretty.”

Connect Twice in Victory Stick has successful second career start, Bison defense shuts down top MVFC offense

Pace Maier Sports Editor

Easton Stick and RJ Urzendowski went to high school together at Creighton Prep in Nebraska.

At North Dakota State, the quarterback-wide receiver connection has translated well.

In NDSU’s (6-2, 4-1 MVFC) 35-29 win over Southern Illinois University (3-5, 2-3 MVFC) on Saturday, Stick finished with two passing

touchdowns that went to Urzendowski.

“Offensive line protected awesome up front, and (Urzendowski) put his foot in the ground and made a great play,” Stick said about the 77-yard pass and catch to Urzendowski.

Urzendowski caught five Stick passes for a total of 97 receiving yards and a touchdown in each half of the game.

NDSU fell behind early after a Austin Johnson 33-yard field goal, but the Bison responded by scoring

seven or more points in every quarter to collect the victory.

The Bison offense was clicking, in particularly, the rush offense.

NDSU rushed for a season-high 397 yards and running back King Frazier had a career day.

Frazier carried the football 16 times for 177 yards and one touchdown.

Stick also had a career day on the ground, rushing 16 times for 130 yards.

“The (offensive line) did a good job up front of

creating some big holes for us, and we took advantage of that,” Frazier said. “I definitely found a groove early on in the game, but it helps when the (offensive line) moves the defensive line up front.”

Four plays over 50 yards help the Bison win its fourth Missouri Valley Football Conference game of the season.

Two of the big scoring plays came from an Urzendowski’s 77-yard touchdown catch and run, and a 50-yard rushing

touchdown by Frazier.

“Offensively, we told the guys we’re going to commit to the running the football,” head coach Chris Klieman said.

On the defensive side, NDSU had a sound day, holding the No. 1 offense in the MVFC to a season-low 398 yards.

Nick DeLuca finished with a career-high 20 tackles, cornerback CJ Smith had an interception and eight tackles, one of them being a sack.

“Our defense was able to

step in and execute and play our game,” DeLuca said about NDSU’s defensive performance. “ NDSU will play at home on Saturday after going on the road back-to-back weeks.

Western Illinois University will travel to Fargo for the annual Harvest Bowl game.

Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.

“I’m so pleased with how the guys have responded the last couple weeks,” Klieman said after the game.

Women’s Soccer

After the Bison’s 2-1 win over Indiana University PurdueUniversity Indianapolis, NDSU clinches a share of the Summit League regular season title.

The Bison are 11-5-1, including an impressive 6-0-1 in the conference.

Lauren Miller scored the only two goals for the Bison as she continues her successful junior year.

She leads the team with 15 goals, and Amy Yang increased her assist total to 9 on the year. Miller is now tied with Nicole VandenBos (1999) with the most goals in one season, and will have one game to take the record for herself.

After the game NDSU head coach Mark Cook said, “I’m very proud of this group. We set a goal, and tonight we accomplished that goal.”

“IUPUI gave us one heck of a game, and we found a way to grind out a tough win.”

- Mark Cook, Women’s Soccer Head Coach Miller started the game off quick with a goal less than four minutes in the game. The Jags wouldn’t go down that easy, though; they rallied back to score in the 35th minute.

The match remained quiet until the 64th minute when Miller collected the pass from Yang and put the ball in the net.

Sierra Bronham had eight saves against the Jags to improve her career total to 386 stops. IUPUI may have had more shots than the Bison (22-19) but NDSU had five corner kicks against only two for the Jags.

“IUPUI gave us one heck of a game, and we found a way to grind out a tough win,” Cook said.

“That is the sign of a quality team, and now we can call ourselves Summit

League Champions.”

Women’s Volleyball

The women’s volleyball did not have the same turnout; the team lost three sets to zero on Saturday night against University of South Dakota.

Emily Miron started off the game on fire. She had five of her nine kills in the first set alone as NDSU took an early lead in the first set.

The Coyotes then proceeded to go on a five point run, which included three kills and two service aces. Audrey Reeg had a match-high 13 kills, along with two other USD players with double digit kills.

USD outhit NDSU .292 to .157 in the game as the Bison looked stunned after losing set one 25-23.

The Bison fought back

from an early deficit in set two to tie the game at 20 and take the lead at 23-22.

But USD finished off the set earning three straight points and winning the set 25-23.

Jenni Fassbender led NDSU with 10 kills, while Monica Claxton and Brianna Rassmussen each had 12 assists. On the defensive side, Mikaela Purnell had a match high 20 digs.

The Bison fall to 15-11 on the season and 6-6 in conference play. NDSU has four regular season games left, each one of them being equally important.

They will be welcomed back home 7 p.m. Friday at Benson Bunker Fieldhouse when they will take on Fort Wayne. The last home game of the season is 1 p.m. Sunday against IUPUI. NDSU will travel to SDSU and Omaha on the 13th and 15th to finish out the regular season and hopefully earn a decent seed in the Summit League tournament.

It's a good idea.

Bison Basketball Must Fill Void

Loss of Lawrence Alexander means it’s next man up for NDSU

OPINION

Taylor Kurth Staff Writer

With the two-time Summit League champions preparing for the new season, the North Dakota State basketball team will be gunning for a third conference title.

Starting point guard Lawrence Alexander led the last year’s surprise team, averaging 19 points per game.

This year, Alexander and his shooting barrage of three-pointers is gone, leaving a gapping void in

the scoring department.

The difference between the Bison having a decent season and winning yet another conference championship will come down to its ability to pick up those 19 points among the rest of the team.

That will start with starting junior point guard Carlin Dupree.

Dupree started last year off the ball and will now move on the ball and take the reigns of the Bison offense. Dupree scored in double digits in nine games last year, including a career

high 16 against University of Southern Mississippi.

Dupree won’t have to pull the full load offensively, but he will have to add some scoring all the while continuing to rebound the ball at a high rate for a guard (4.5 rebounds per game last year).

After averaging 2.8 points as a freshman in 2013, Dexter Werner had a breakout year last year.

Werner averaged 8.4 points per game and won the Summit League’s 6th man of the year. Werner had 13 games of double digit

scoring last year, including a six-game streak where he scored at least 13 in every game and averaged 14.1 during the stretch.

Werner really blew up in the NCAA Tournament game against Gonzaga University. Werner turned in his best career game on the biggest stage against a No. 2 seed in the tournament.

He scored 22 points on 10-of-14 shooting and kept the Bison in the game all the way to the end. He was also picked as a SecondTeam Summit League member.

Werner must build off of his strong finish last year and carry it into this season.

The only preseason First-Team member for the Bison was A.J. Jacobson.

Jacobson averaged 11.6 points per game last year while shooting also 40 percent from behind the arc.

With Alexander out of the fold, the Bison will look for Jacobson to carry the load offensively. Jacobson had 12 games last year in which he scored 15 or more points. In the final eight games of Summit League play, Jacobson was

scorching. He averaged 16 points, shot 47 percent from the field, 43 percent from the great beyond and 80 percent from the free throw line.

Alexander averaged 11.1 points per game in 201314, then the three leading scorers left, and he was given the keys and he road off with an average of 18.9 last year.

Jacobson averaged 11.6 points per game last year and now the leading scorer from last year has left.

Here’s the keys, bud.

Bring it home.

Underclassmen shine in South Dakota at Summit League Cross-Country Championships.

Bison Men’s and Women’s Cross-Country Teams Finish Strong Teschuk defends her Summit League title, men’s team finishes in third Jesse Barta

Contributing Writer

On the heels of a fourth place conference finish last year, the North Dakota State men’s cross-country team went into Brookings this weekend hoping to improve upon last year’s finish in the Summit League Championships. The team’s

underclassmen stole the show as they rounded out the top five finishes for the Bison.

Placing third overall, the Bison men finished the day with 80 team points, second only to Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and South Dakota State.

Freshmen Elliot Stone, Derek Warner and Matt

Lundstrom were the Bison’s top three finishers in the eight-kilometer course, crossing the finish line in the 12th, 13th and 17th positions, respectively.

With a final course time of 25:31.76, Stone was the top-finishing freshman and was named Summit League Newcomer of the Championships. He also earned second-team All-

Summit League honors with teammate, Derek Warner.

NDSU men were ranked fourth in the league’s preseason poll.

As the men’s’ team’s underclassman made a splash in Brookings this weekend, NDSU junior Erin Teschuk showed up for the Bison, claiming her second consecutive Summit League cross-country title.

In a swift 20:43.91, Teschuk recorded the second fastest winning time in Summit League history at the six-kilometer course at Edgebrook Golf Course.

Overall, the NDSU women placed third at the Championships, being beaten out only by University of South Dakota and SDSU. A range of only thirteen points decided the

placement of the top three teams. Redshirt freshman Brittany Brownotter and junior Taylor Janssen both secured top ten finishes and season-best times for the six-kilometer race.

Pleased with the weekend’s performance, the Bison will compete at the NCAA Midwest Regional on Nov. 13 in Lawrence, Kansas.

Men’s Basketball Team is Humble and Hungry Bison eagerly anticipates 2015-16 season after another successful season Maggie Crippen Staff Writer

The wait is over.

Bison men’s basketball is back.

Head coach Dave Richman and the squad have been practicing and preparing for the home exhibition game against University of Mary on Wednesday at Scheel’s Arena.

Richman took over the program two seasons ago and boasts a 23-10 record.

The Bison are returning four out of five starters this season, and only losing one senior in Lawrence Alexander.

“We aren’t looking to replace him with one guy, or two guys,” sophomore A.J. Jacobson said. “We are looking to replace him as a whole team unit.”

Jacobsen emerged last

year with his smooth stroke and level head. These two qualities helped him to pursue 11.6 points per game, 4.2 rebounds per game and 1.8 assists per game. Since last season he even grew and now stands 6-feet, 7-inches.

“I’m just going to keep doing what I do. Whatever role the coaches give me is the role I want to fulfill and I’m going to fulfill,” he said.

In addition to maximizing their allotted 10 practices in the off-season, they were able to play, compete and finish the trip with an undefeated record.

“We brought in five new guys and it was good to get their feet wet and get some live game situations,” Richman said.

Since the squad is young, with only two seniors and two juniors, they used a team trip to the Bahamas last August to bond and build team chemistry. But it was

more than just a vacation.

The roster is complete with 15 players — 11 of which are sophomores or younger.

“As much as we preach serve and leadership, Bison family is another thing we talk about,” Richman added. “No one’s bigger than anyone else, and to have a team that is not full of cliques is a great thing for a coach.”

While a young team often could be written off as inexperienced, they return the majority of their starters and therefore have more depth on the bench.

The past two seasons the Bison have either won the conference outright (201314) or tied for first (201415). Both years the NDSU appeared in the NCAA Tournament and even won a second-round game against University of Oklahoma as a 12-seed two seasons ago.

“They don’t have that feeling yet,” senior guard Kory Brown said of the younger players on the team about winning games and going to the NCAA Tournament. “For everyone who plays college basketball it is a dream to go to the NCAA Tournament; once you get that feeling, you’re going to want it again so we’re hoping they want it really bad now.”

The Bison play a few opponents early on this season that will definitely strengthen its schedule, such as Illinois University and Iowa State University.

“The 2015-2016 group hasn’t accomplished anything yet,” Richman added. “There is maybe some expectations the FILE PHOTO | THE SPECTRUM outside public or the media might put on us because of what we’ve done, but this Last season the Bison made it to the NCAA Tournament for the is a new group and that’s the second straight time and will look to make it a third this season. beauty of it.”

Nightmare off University Drive Five times Halloweekend has been good for NDSU athletics Karson Sorby Staff Writer

With Halloween spirit on campus last week, we can’t forget about the thrilling games from each of our teams, as well as look back on some of the highlights from last year.

5. Soccer 2014

With an exhilarating 1-0 win taking place on Oct. 31, the Bison were able to shut out Oral Roberts University on the road. Scoring the lone goal was then-sophomore

Lauren Miller assisted by Genna Joyce (her first ever of her career). With this win, the Bison were able to secure a spot in the Summit League Women’s Soccer Championship.

4. Men’s and Women’s Cross-Country 2014

Similar to this year’s situation, all-star runner Erin Teschuk was victorious, winning the Summit League’s individual cross-country title and most valuable player title. Taking place on Nov. 1 of last year, the team fought with tough weather conditions

and finished in second place overall with a cumulative score of 60. Much like the women’s team, the men’s cross-country squad was also successful.Two now-graduated seniors led the team to a fourthplace finish. Much like the women’s team who had two All-Summit League honors, the men had three second-team honors.

3. Football 2014

Not only was it a solid win, but it was a very important one, too.

As a senior in his final Dakota Marker game,

John Crockett was a huge contributing factor in this 37-17 victory over the South Dakota State. He passed two previous NDSU players for the fifth place spot on NDSU’s career rushing chart with a season-high 152 yards.

Wentz spread the ball out to plenty of receivers including Zach Vraa and RJ Urzendowski among others.

The sellout game on Nov. 1, in which the Bison saw its sixth straight win over the Jackrabbits.

2. Soccer and Volleyball 2015

Flash forward to this year’s Halloweekend festivities that happened a few days ago and both teams have a chance at a successful postseason.

Before the weekend the soccer team was undefeated in the Summit League (5-0-1), and the volleyball team had already tied last year’s win total with 15 before the team took on University of South Dakota.

1. Men’s and Women’s Cross-Country, Football and Wrestling 2015 Both the men’s and women’s cross-country

teams ran on Halloween day in South Dakota.

Luckily that state didn’t scare them from the Summit League Championships.

As for football, the Herd took on Southern Illinois University on Halloween.

It was the second career start for redshirt freshman Easton Stick.

Finally, NDSU’s wrestling team opened its season in Brookings yesterday. Hopeful after a successful season last year, the team is looked to dominate the Daktronics Open.
