North Dakota State’s information technology department said phishing emails have infiltrated the system. Nearly 300 accounts have been affected.
Hundreds of Email Accounts Compromised Casey McCarty Head News Editor
Over 280 North Dakota State email accounts had been compromised by phishing attackers since Tuesday. Phishing is the act of luring unsuspecting Internet users to click on a link or input information into a website. Students, staff and faculty are mainly being targeted through malicious phishing emails through their NDSU accounts. Examples include false emails saying users may upgrade their email storage space through Help Desk, someone’s cousin needs money or individuals in Africa need money. Marc Wallman, vice president for information technology, said that if information cannot be
found elsewhere through without clicking a link, it is best to avoid clicking that link. He added that NDSU, along with most legitimate corporations, will not ask users for their username and password without being on their legitimate log in site. Theresa Semmens, chief information security officer, said phishers use the information gained from phishing to either use for personal malpractices or to sell information on the black market for a profit. He said that phishing attacks are “indiscriminate, they’re opportunistic,” and once an account is compromised, every email within that account’s address book will also be targeted. Wallman said that concerns are drawn because locked accounts prevent students from emailing

“If it looks suspicious, don’t click on it,” - Marc Wallman, VP of information technology files to colleagues and professors.
If hooked
If students are hooked by a phish, Semmens recommends to change the account password immediately, as well as change any account passwords that the email may be linked to and any accounts one may control with the same password. She said that accounts should also be monitored for any adverse activity, such as money going missing from financial accounts or incorrect charges to an account. Institutions users are involved with, such as their bank, should be notified

in the event of a phishing attack, Semmens said. Semmens said that if individuals are scammed, they should file a police report.
Discovering phish
“If it looks suspicious, don’t click on it,” Wallman said. Semmens added that Help Desk will not ask NDSU community members to upgrade their accounts individually, rather it would send out a news release to all involved notifying them of an increased space in their emails. Those who discover what they believe to be a phishing email can report it to NDSU’s report-a-phish

account by forwarding the suspected email to ndsu.reportafish@ndsu. edu. From there, the IT department will attempt to identify the source of the phishing and block it from use. Microsoft Office 365, which NDSU uses to power its email system, will identify if there is an abnormally large amount of emails being sent outside of the NDSU database and Microsoft will block that email from sending out emails.
Prevention tactics
The IT department will be beginning a phishing simulation, whereupon it will target groups of staff, faculty and students by college or department with false phishing emails. Then, when individuals interact with the false

phishing emails, they will be redirected to another website whereupon they would be prompted with information regarding phishing and its risks. Semmens said the simulation is designed as an anonymous educational tool for the NDSU community and is not designed as a way to identify individuals who may be targeted by phishing. The department is also working with Qualtrics to create an educational exam for individuals to test their ability identifying phishing emails. The information technology department began its campaign against phishing last spring. The problem of phishing has been ongoing, though instances involving NDSU have surged within the last year, Semmens said.

Food, Philanthropy Fuel Fraternities AGR and FarmHouse host cancer fundraiser

The Alpha Gamma Rho and FarmHouse fraternities co-hosted the Bison for Breasts meal Friday to raise money for local and national cancer research. Chicken breasts, baked beans and fries were served to those who attended the event held at the AGR Epsilon House. Proceeds from the freewill donations and t-shirt sale were split between local and national divisions of The American Cancer Society. AGR Philanthropy chair Gabel Hoseth said the main focus of the meal was where the proceeds were going and
“It comes down to two organizations with a rivalry getting together for the greater good.” - Jesse Klebe, AGR president what they were for. “Supporting local efforts in the fight against cancer and national breast cancer research helps make a difference both here in the community and throughout the country,” Hoseth said. With proceeds benefiting The American Cancer Society, the name Bison for Breasts was chosen to commemorate October being Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The work for the event was split between AGR and FarmHouse. FarmHouse took care of the food side of the gathering, while AGR’s focus was on hosting and the creation of t-shirts. The partnership between the two fraternities for the event comes after years of rivalry between AGR and FarmHouse. Jesse Klebe, the president of AGR, described a relationship improvement
that lead FarmHouse to approach AGR in hopes of hosting a dual philanthropy event. “It comes down to two organizations with a rivalry getting together for the greater good,” Klebe said. “The world would be a better place if rival organizations could learn to work together.” Alex Nielson, the president of FarmHouse Fraternity, was pleased with the collaboration between FarmHouse and AGR. “It shows a lot of strength and unity in the Greek community,” Nielson said. “(Bison for Breasts) is hopefully something we can continue to do for years to come.”
Follow-up Friday Receives Strong Feedback from Community Email surveys give platform to students, faculty and staff Maddy Capman Co-News Editor
The Tuesday Two surveys are questions distributed to the North Dakota State student body once a week. Student government utilizes the Listserv emails NDSU sends to reach large numbers of people. These surveys are being employed as tools to aid the understanding and reception of feedback from the students about issues within the university system. These questions ranged from student preferences regarding university
communication to questions about students’ availability to program information. After the student government office receives the results, not only do they take the results into consideration when attempting to implement changes at the university, they also send out a followup email to provide feedback to the NDSU community. Student Body President, Spencer Moir said the foundation of Follow-up Fridays was to further one of the pillars of their platform, “Clarify.” “Our goal was to send out a follow-up email after each Tuesday Two to clarify the
results of the survey and to keep students informed on relevant information from student government, “ Moir said. Student government was pleased with the overall student response they received through these two aids. Seth Bisbee, student government’s technology executive, said they typically see “around 1,200 responses for the Tuesday Twos.” Bisbee also reported the numbers have been consistent this year. Question submissions for these surveys are available to NDSU staff, students and faculty. Student government
tries to have questions all students can relate to. Moir said positive feedback was received from students regarding the Friday Follow-ups. In an attempt to keep students involved in the process following the Friday emails, student government encourages students to voice any suggestions they have that might help them serve the student body. “We think this a great step forward in engaging student government with its constituents and we hope it allows us to continue bettering the university,” Moir said.
North Dakota State has a new project geared to help people feel comfortable in their own skin. “In a culture where women can be inundated with unrealistic expectations and can equate their self-worth with their body image, The Body Project is necessary to challenge this mentality with a healthier perspective,” Karin Mortenson, a senior in the nursing program, said. The project is “a dissonance-based body acceptance program designed to help college age women resist cultural pressures to conform to the thin ideal standard of female beauty and reduce their pursuit of unhealthy thinness,” Emily Hegg, Health and Wellness promotion coordinator, said. Ian Penzel, psychology graduate student, said that by taking away the notion that students have look or act in a certain way in order to be cool or beautiful we are creating a safer environment for them to feel free to be themselves. The pursuit is to show the major damaging effects and health concerns of young women due to the thinideal that society and media tell young women of what beautiful is. “The conceptual basis for the Body Project is that if girls and young women voluntarily argue against the thin ideal, this will result in a reduced subscription to this ideal and to consequent decreases in eating disorder risk factors and eating disordered behaviors,” the project’s website said. Mortenson and Penzel both said they believe that NDSU campus will respond positively to the project being implemented on campus because the aim is to help with self-image. “There is a more profound message of supporting each other as women and recognizing that, despite the messages expressed on social media or in magazines, character of a person is much more important than outward appearance ever will be,” Mortenson said. The Body Project is peer-lead and students are already registered to attend
a full weekend training to serve as peer leaders. The student peer leaders will co-facilitate the program with groups of female students across campus in series of verbal, written and behavioral exercises to change participating students’ views on thinideal. “This project is taking initiative to bring this problem to light, as well as the social factors that sometimes go unnoticed that are associated with it” Penzel said. Hegg said, “The Body Project is supported by more research than any other body image program and has been found to reduce appearance ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, negative mood, unhealthy dieting and even the onset of eating disorders.” Training for the project is taking place on Oct. 29 and 30. Hegg said the timing of this training fall into proximity with Halloween, and that it will hopefully serve as an empowering experience for young women as they encounter some of the negative cultural expectations associated with this holiday. Registration for training as been closed due to all the available spaces has been filled. Students can make requests via the Wellness 2 Go program and the peer leaders will be able to assist them. The Body Project Collaborative has been used by high schools and colleges for over 27 years, and has interacted with over 200,000 women in over 10 countries, the project’s website said. Peer leaders will serve in this role for a one-year commitment and new students will be recruited to join the peer leader team each year. Penzel said he “believes the campus is filled with students that are willing to promote change in many areas associate with” body image. “This project will not only improve women’s perception of themselves but also assist in supporting one another, realizing there are many women who struggle with body image,” Mortenson said. The Body Project is partially funded through the Eating Recovery Center.

Wandering the streets of London yields a different city than the one in travel books
Elizabeth Wellmann Contributing Writer
Before I came here, I always associated London with the famous icons such as Big Ben and the London Eye I had seen in movies. I also imagined the people were going to have posh British accents and they were going to be a bit condescending, but in the most polite way. Of course, I knew there was more to the city than those landmarks and not everyone was going to fit the mold that popular culture had shown me. After all, most of us Midwesterners don’t fit the mold from the movie “Fargo.” With that personal example in mind, I knew there was going to be more to this experience than what we see in the movies. Never in a million years would I have imagined London having so many parks. Moreover, they’re really nice ones. Very clean, with dogs walking around everywhere and with a lot of water features. The closest one to me
is Hyde Park, close by Kensington Palace. There are multiple paths for people to run or walk on and there are dogs literally everywhere. A man-made river splits the park and a few ponds break up the green space. One is so large that you can rent rowboats and paddleboats to go onto it. There are also several sculptures that decorate the paths. My favorite is the Peter Pan statue which, according to the locals, was paid for and put into the park by J.M. Berrie, the author of “Peter Pan.” It was also supposedly put in so quickly that one day, it just appeared, like magic. London is also home to a ton of open-air markets. There’s one that sells freshcut flowers every Sunday. It’s beautiful but, oh my, is it crowded. My friends and I were literally holding on to each other’s bags so we wouldn’t get separated. Despite the crowd, it was beautiful. The flowers smelled so sweet and since it was getting to be closing time, the vendors
were shouting and joking with the crowd, lowering the prices of their flowers just so they wouldn’t go to waste. Besides the flower market, my other favorite market is Brick Lane. This market is a hodgepodge of everything from vintage clothing, to records, to a cab that makes and sells coffee. I know it sounds a bit sketchy, but the coffee is really good and it’s reasonably priced. I fell in love with a fully functioning typewriter from Brick Lane, and I almost bought it but then I figured that it would be a bit tricky to try and fit it into my suitcase. Brick Lane also has an indoor food market. It serves everything from Thai food to crêpes and foods from countries all over the world. I did not expect to see this alternative and diverse side of London when I first came here, but it came as a pleasant surprise. Sometimes you find the coolest places when you’re just meandering.
Crowds of people squeeze through the narrow lanes of the flower market.

Delta Delta Delta | The New Kid on the Block NDSU’s newest sorority made its debut on campus with 97 charter members Rio Bergh
Features Editor
There hasn’t been a new sorority at North Dakota State in almost 70 years since Kappa Alpha Theta was officially installed in 1947. At least until now. On Oct. 9, 97 women founded NDSU’s chapter of Delta Delta Delta (or Tri Delta, as it’s known). Based on data collected
on numbers and retention rates for fraternities and sororities over the past five years, it was decided that there was a demand for a new sorority on campus. “The process for expansion to add another sorority on campus started in Oct. 2015,” Renee Dubois said, the Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at NDSU. “It has been a year in the making and finally we get
to see the impact the new sorority coming to campus has on our community.” One hundred twenty-eight women joined the NDSU Greek community during official fall recruitment. “So that we have 97 founding members for Tri Delta really showcases the need we had of a new sorority,” Dubois noted. Among other things, Tri Delta has a focus on body image and launched
a BodyImage3D, which was appealing to some new members. “There are many reasons for joining Delta Delta Delta, but their foundation really hit home for me. What they’re about encompasses many of my own passions — one of them being their body image program, which focuses on achieving a healthy mind, body and spirit among both our
members and within the community,” Amy Mueller said, one of the new members. “I wanted to join because it’s such a rare experience to be a founding member of a chapter,” Breanne Hogie said, another new member. “Now that I’ve met the other girls, I’m thrilled to be able to grow with them as I complete my education here at NDSU and beyond,” Hogie noted.
Tri Delta may be the new kid on the block, but we all look forward to what it can bring to the NDSU community. “I think Tri Delta will have an impact not only on their founding members, but also on our whole fraternity/ sorority community,” Dubois said. “We are just so excited to be welcoming a new sorority and cannot wait to see what they add to our community.”

Festivals and Dancing BISON ABROAD
The Navaratri festival celebrates the Indian goddess Maa Durga, or Mother Goddess
Laura Ellen Brandjord Contributing Writer
Festivals frequently break up the fall semester in India. Taking part in these festivals has been a great way to enjoy time away from my studies, and immerse myself in the culture. In the case of the most recent festival I attended, it can be quite a workout too. Navaratri is a festival celebrating Maa Durga, or Mother Goddess, who appears in nine different
forms called avatars. For nine nights the faithful worship a different avatar of Mother Goddess through offerings, prayer ceremonies and, most importantly, dancing. The forms of dance that are performed nightly through all nine days of the festival are called Dandiya and Garba. Both dances originated in the state of Gujarat on the western coast of India and many different variations exist. One can even create their own steps to the beat. Traditionally, these dances
are performed with a set of decorative sticks about the size of drumsticks that are struck together. Many people simply clap in lieu of using these sticks, however. In cities, these massive all-night dance celebrations have live music, contests, food stands and more, all accessible to anyone wishing to participate for a small entry fee. On the fifth night of Navaratri, my program took four students (including me) from the American Institute for Foreign Study to one of the dancing venues outside
of Hyderabad. As soon as we entered, we were confronted with a sea of merrily dancing people, many with their brightly colored dress covered in sparkling mirror work. We briefly surveyed the dancing crowd before jumping in with a group whose dance moves we felt we could copy with relative ease. It was admittedly awkward at first as we floundered to learn the steps, but after we caught on we cheerfully followed those ahead of us as they circled through the crowd.
My favorite set of moves weirdly enough resembled the Cotton-Eyed Joe line dance, something I would not have expected to encounter as a traditional Indian dance step. Everyone was in full enjoyment of the evening, singing along to the popular Bollywood songs the band played and frequently switching between groups of dancers. All ages were dancing; from the smallest child to the oldest adult, everyone was participating in one way or another.
Dance requires no translation or common language because the movements themselves are charged with emotion, making it an ideal outlet for breaking down barriers to interaction abroad. I encourage anyone abroad to join in with the local celebrations. It is a great way to connect and get a feel for what your host country is really like. Don’t worry if you are less than perfect in your attempts, those experiences may prove to be some of your most memorable.
My Top 5 Takeaways from My Week with the Rock Benjamin Norman Spectrum Staff
I refused to take the Dakota Marker for granite or granted last week — the trophy is quartzite and never easily won. Saturday reminded us of that, though I will not let some football game ruin my week with the rock. As the equipment manager of Blue Key Honor Society, I took care of our university’s sole rivalry trophy. Here are my five days of fun boiled into five points:
1. Lessons from yesteryears
For having a centuriesspanning past, Dakota Markers still confuse the masses. “So it’s like a rock?” citizens ask. “Yep!” I respond, “It’s a replica of a Dakota Marker.” “So … it’s like a special
rock?” Indeed, these rocks are, like, special. The real markers, plopped in the prairie between 1891 and 1892, separate North and South Dakota, spanning 360 miles along the seventh parallel. I gave hundreds of these Wikipedia-endorsed history spiels last week, apparently covering for the social studies teachers who aren’t educating students on the rocks that line the world’s most boring boarder.
2. The rock is getting heavier
Those real markers stand 7 feet tall and weigh hundreds of pounds. The trophy is a few feet tall and less than 100, for now. I don’t trust theories regarding mass or science in general; ergo, I don’t own an operational scale. I do trust people, though, and can confirm the Dakota

Contact: listoptions@gmail.com
Marker trophy is growing in size. It’s like a good fish story. “How much does it weight?” someone asked Monday. “A little more than 70 pounds,” I guessed. By hump day, I’m pretty sure the trophy weighed an even 75. By Friday, I’d heard 85 pounds. By Saturday, it was well over 300 pounds after South Dakota State won. I spitefully laughed as the team rushed over to the raise the trophy. This being the first time they’d ever been within four feet of the Marker, the Jackrabbits didn’t realize the rock separated from the 200plus pound base. They collectively struggled. Like I said, it’s heavy.
3. Who needs nice things
What caused more damage last week: A.) my neglect of homework or B.) the trophy?
The correct answer is B. The rock might be gone, but the carnage remains. My watch is scuffed. My office table is scratched. My khakis, obliterated. That last one hurts the most. In one of the final photo shoots of the week, I brought the rock to the Gold Star Marching Band’s rehearsal in the Dome. Since we have a 200-piece band, we had the bandies circle around the trophy, which I tried to prop up in a conductor’s ladder, before then taking pictures from the stands. I ripped my pants while getting the trophy on the stand because I was literally caught between a rock and a hard place.
4. Rock of masculinity
In impressive displays of manliness, North Dakota State’s finest gentlemen showed campus how well they could pick up heavy objects last week.
I think it harkens back to a caveman mating ritual. “It’s not that heavy — especially compared to the real Dakota Markers,” I’d chirp. “There are real ones?” some dude would respond, haphazardly approaching the dense rock. By the time these bros found out how heavy the rock actually was, they were too far gone. In order to keep their box of masculinity from shattering, they needed to throw their backs, spines and necks into making sure they lifted that trophy while simultaneously grunting out, “Oh, it’s not that heavy.” For some reason, their surprised and strained faces captured in the photos I took of them and the trophy didn’t become their profile pictures.
5. Wheels (and people) are wonderful
If you haven’t taken the time to thank the wheels in your life, please do so today. These simple machines (and the carts they support) are a Godsend, as were the folks who made last week possible. I’d just be a boy with a rock without my ROCKSQUAD. This rock-loving squad helped me bring the Dakota Marker trophy to tens of student organizations last week and manned those dreaded contact tables for hours on end, too. The trophy may have been an awkward, heavy child, but it was our awkward, heavy child. I’m beyond thankful for the week I spent with it and now await its return back home.

Online Ovation: An Analysis of Casey Neistat
YouTuber, business owner, filmmaker lives differently than most
Casey McCarty Spectrum Staff
Open up the top trending videos page on YouTube on a random day in November and there’s a good chance there will be a video featured made by a curly-haired guy in his mid-thirties who wears his sunglasses as an extension of his body. That guy is Casey Neistat, a former HBO television show creator who has created advertisements for notable brands such as Nike, Mercedes and J. Crew. Now he owns a mobile app company, Beme, and attempts to create a new YouTube video every day. Neistat makes a plentiful amount of viral videos — his most recent being a look into an airplane seat that cost $21,000 for the flight. Perhaps the reason Neistat makes viral videos is that he thinks and operates differently than most people.
Do more
Neistat lives with the mentality that the only finish line in life is death; anything besides that is a halt on self-improvement. He values Monday as his favorite day of the week because it signals a return to work and a return to regular activity. He has an overwhelming need to be productive. Neistat is an avid runner, and also goes through health kick phases where
his favorite beverage is a raw, organic, vegan smoothie. For example, in his daily video blogs, or vlogs, he has expressed interest in his family moving to Los Angeles, but in the past has fled the city to return to work in New York due to his misery at a lack of productivity. Neistat acts different in that he is hyper-productive. By virtue of simply working harder and more often than others, he both increases the long run quality of his craft as well as the volume of content produced.
Get the shot
Neistat does everything in his power to get the shot, whether that be endangering himself or other cameras. His office is home to a graveyard of camera equipment, from a multitude of drones to years of broken and beat down cameras. His defense of the broken equipment: he is now well off in the middle years of his life, and he doesn’t need to baby his equipment like he would if he were younger and had less income than he does now. In previous vlogs, he has explained his value towards quality cameras, as well. He gives the highest level of utility to the camera that can capture the best shot. That is, a $5,000 DSLR camera will get the best shot, but it is not nearly as portable or hidden as a $300 pointand-shoot camera, meaning the $300 camera would
have greater utility. A $200 GoPro camera will be much more efficient at getting the shot underwater than the $5,000 camera. Recently, he hung on a rope ladder dangling from a helicopter just to get a shot with a 360-degree camera for Samsung. Other dangerous things he’s done include going into a war zone in the Middle East to give US soldiers tattoos, venturing to the Devil’s Pool in Africa, slack-lining over a ravine, walking through the streets of New York City during Superstorm Sandy and summiting the tallest mountain in South America without a guide or oxygen tanks. Neistat doesn’t just do more to get the shot; he rarely can be swayed from getting the shot his mind is set on acquiring. It is ultimately beneficial to his product in the long run.
Security Administration areas and in the private inner-workings of large corporations such as Google and Samsung are a nonissue for Neistat, too. He just blurs out confidential material. He does not follow a trend of normal vloggers, video makers or anyone else who makes content for YouTube. He’s one of the last true innovators of online video with his style deriving from his own brain, along with
hints of vintage filmmakers and years of experience working in advertising. Neistat began the trend of using a digital single-lens reflex, or DSLR, camera with a shotgun microphone attached to the top while mounted onto a Joby GorillaPod to record his daily vlogs. Previously, vloggers typically only used small and portable pointand-shoot cameras to get the same shot. He often sets up a shot by
placing a camera, hitting record, running back out of a room and then re-entering to give the shot as if he is doing it for the first time. Neistat films differently, and then manipulates the different film in his edits to create truly unique films. In the future Neistat will continue to grow as a filmmaker, and perhaps one day will be re-revolutionizing a different industry as well as YouTube.
Ignore rules
Neistat has a perpetual lack of desire to follow contemporary rules, both written and unwritten. He has a blatant disregard of where he can fly a drone, sometimes even drawing attention from the local authorities to talk with him and have him relocate. He sometimes disregards the law to get the shot, such as when officers from the New York Police Department stopped him from filming a video about Pokemon Go in the street. Filming in Transportation

50 Years of Art Excellence North Dakota Arts Council celebrates 50th anniversary with commemorative exhibit

Two years after the National Endowment for the Arts was founded, the North Dakota Council on the Arts was founded. Since its creation in 1967, the NDCA remains committed to supporting and developing the arts within North Dakota. To celebrate their years of service to artists and the arts, the NDCA in, conjunction with the North Dakota Art Gallery Association, have curated 50 pieces from 50 North Dakotan artists to display in the Heritage Center in Bismarck, ND. “During NDCA’s 50 years, it has provided varied services to the citizens of North Dakota,” said

A Tale as Old as Time: ‘Beauty and the Beast’ 25th Anniversary ‘Beauty and the Beast’ celebrating anniversary with new Blu-Ray edition, live-action remake Kaitlyn Grube Staff Writer
When the enchanting, intelligent young woman named Belle fell in love with a horrible Beast back in 1991, Disney’s animated film became an immediate classic and the third highest grossing film that year. This year, “Beauty and the Beast” is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The first official screening of “Beauty and the Beast” was in Alice Tully Hall at the New York Film Festival in April 1991. While only 80% of the film was finished at this time, the screening received rapturous applause. Twenty-five years later, the hall opened its doors to another special screening of “Beauty and the Beast.” There were many special guests in attendance including Paige O’Hara (Belle), Robby
Benson (Beast), Richard White (Gaston) and Angela Lansbury (Mrs. Potts.) “She was really the first revolutionary woman of Disney heroines and then they took it to another level, with Mulan and others,” O’Hara said of her experience voicing bell. After the special screening, the audience was asked to stay in their seats for a surprise. Angela Lansbury, the voice of Mrs. Potts, came out on stage and sang a rendition of “Beauty and the Beast,” the movie’s title number. She received a standing ovation. “Beauty and the Beast” was a revival for Disney animated films along with the release of “The Little Mermaid” in 1989. They reintroduced the classic Disney princess film to an entirely new generation and helped to revive the musical. The film was the first animated feature film
nominated for an Oscar in Best Picture, opening the door for Broadway recreations of Disney films. As with any great film, it was announced there is going to be a remake of “Beauty and the Beast” in Disney’s latest live-action trend. In honor of the animated version, the new live-action trailer uses identical shots to the original trailer, debuting Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as Beast and Ewan McGregor as Lumière. In the first 24 hours after the new trailer was released, it reached 91.8 million views. This success has made it one of the most highly anticipated films in the upcoming year. The live-action version of the film is set to premiere March 17, 2017. The 25th Anniversary edition of “Beauty and the Beast” is now available on Blu-Ray and DVD at WalMart and Target.

Colonel Mustard, In the Lounge, With a Song Classic board game to be adapted into musical
Andrew Fugleberg Staff Writer
Murder mysteries, board games and music come together in May 2017 when a musical adaptation of “Clue” will debut in New Hope, Pennsylvania. This upcoming musical is based not only on the popular 1949 American board game, but also on the cult classic 1985 film of the same title. The iconic movie follows the characters from the board game (Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. White, Professor Plum, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet) in the whodunit murder mystery. A blackmailer, the cook, the maid, a cop and a telegram girl are all found dead, begging the question: who’s the murderer? It’s hard to make a good story with interesting characters when the original subject matter is two dimensional (literally). However, this movie became a classic. What makes it so memorable is the acting performances from Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd, along with the
hilarious one-liners that aren’t easy to forget. “Clue” isn’t the first musical Hasbro, Inc. (the creators of the original board game) have taken to the stage. In June, the toy company announced they were collaborating with Araca Group to create a “Monopoly” musical and even a “Scrabble” adaptation. It isn’t “Clue’s” first time to the stage. In 1997, a musical adaption was played off-Broadway. While “Clue: The Musical” has the potential to be acclaimed, without Tim Curry performing at the Bucks County Playhouse, there just won’t be that unique charm radiating from an actor. The film’s director and writer Jonathan Lynn is writing the play, meaning that the style and comedy should be more or less consistent to the 31-year-old movie. More information will be released once the premiere date is closer. If the performances are successful in Pennsylvania, there’s a chance the next theatrical hit could be “Clue: The Musical.” “Clue” has been adapted into a movie, but in 2017 the board game will be transformed into a musical.

Trump Supporters Panic Over #Repealthe19th
Uneducated voter’s rights are threatened
SATIRE
Erik Jonasson II Opinion Editor
Crippling news outside of Washington DC today for Trump supporters as the 19th Amendment is facing a future of uncertainty. The 19th Amendment, for those who may not know, gave the right to vote to racist, sexist uneducated individuals. These individuals fall under the umbrella of “uneducated
voters.” Surprisingly, a large amount of Trump supporters unknowingly fall into this category. Just last week President Obama spoke about the future of this controversial topic on the steps of the US capital, “My fellow Americans. I think it is high time we repeal the 19th Amendment.” President Obama who was cheering on the Bison during the Dakota Marker game gave The Spectrum this exclusive feedback. “The Donald and I, we don’t really get along all the time. In fact The Donald and I are currently not seeing eye to eye. My administration bringing up legislation to block uneducated voters from voting. It has really

You see he really wants my room after the move.” NDSU students are also upset. “I just think it is ridiculous that we allow everyone to vote.” Billy Bison of NDSU was quoted after coming out of support of the #Repealthe19th movement. “The right to vote for everyone is just so outdated. You should at least be a little informed.”
“Uneducated voters belong on Facebook. There they can post about Obama being a Muslim. If they think that matters, maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.” Billy Bison later commented, “Go Bison.” Trump, who was up at The University of North Dakota campaigning to the most uneducated university in North Dakota had this to say.
“Is my voting group uneducated. Maybe? I don’t know. All I care about is winning. We cannot let this distract us from the actual issues. Hillary Clinton is a member of ISIS, and Obama was born on Mars.” Trump later went on to say he was cheering for South Dakota State during last weekends game. All of this controversy comes after an old video of Trump talking on a bus with Billy Bush surfaced. In this video Trump was telling Billy Bush how sexist he was. “I just don’t know how any educated person could still vote for this guy.” Haley Herd commented to The Spectrum.
“Personally I am all aboard the #Repealthe19th bandwagon.” The Obama Administration has not given an exact timetable for the Amendment. They see a lot of paper work to be done. They are also expecting some push back in Congress. “We are planning on getting this done before the election process starts,” said Joe Biden, who himself is an NDSU alumni caught up with The Spectrum at the Bookstore. “We just can’t allow everyone to vote. We have to ‘Make America Great Again’ by forbidding dumb people from voting for Trump.”
Allergies: My Immune System is a Child It can’t stop picking on the rest of my body
OPINION
Grant Gloe Staff Writer
I love dogs. They’re furry balls of unconditional love. The same parts of their brains become active when they see us as when we see them. Basically, this means that they feel the same about us as we feel about them, which makes it hurt that much more that I’m allergic to them. Don’t get me wrong, if you present me with a dog I’m petting that thing until I can’t see out of my swollen eyes. Allergies, however, are basically non-existent in less developed nations. The reason for this is that we aren’t exposed to nearly as much bad stimuli, so our immune system starts getting confused and attacking harmless stimuli. Let’s put it like this: my body is a road trip. I’m driving and trying to keep an eye on all my kids, representing my body parts, in the back seat. The oldest, however, is my immune system in its rebellious
teenage years. It keeps calling me a corporate shill in between the punk rock songs it’s playing on its $700 iPhone. Eventually though, it gets bored. It has nothing to do, and that’s when the other body parts become lighting rods for the pubescent rage and confusion it got pent up. Be a bully all you want kids, lunch money doesn’t get rid of acne and health teachers who seem a little too comfortable with the material. It glances over at eyes and smirks the smirk of someone who knows they will soon be the only one smirking. Let the noogies begin. Eyes are irritating and its hair is all rustled and fluffed up. I can shout at the immune system, tell it I’ll turn this car around, but ultimately I’m powerless. The immune system knows I’m all bark and no bite, and the notion gives it an idea. It turns to Throat and Throat begins to plead to no avail. The immune system tickles Throat relentlessly. Throat’s eyes are watering at this point as it struggles to breathe. Nose tries to argue with the immune system, but it’s not having any. It tears Nose a new one, the kind of thing only your siblings know how to use against you. Nose is in tears and full of snot. It begins to

The whole car is now in distress, especially me. The only one who seems to be having a good time is the immune system, who just retweeted about
conformism. You start to wonder if it’s worth telling him he can get something at the next gas station and taking off the moment his foot meets tar. You then think better of abandoning your teenager, as all sorts of nasty people will come and try to attack you. Granted

some people would call them police, but I just read that retweet and prefer to call them viruses. You can’t live without the immune system, that is just a fact. There are always antihistamines if it ever really matters and for the most part I just have
to avoid touching my eyes after I touch a dog. I just don’t like the idea of part of me basically existing to spite the rest of me, but we all get allergies or a cold from time to time. I guess you could say ... no one’s immune! Eh? Anyone? Shut up, I’m funny.

Feminism Through Online Media The picket sign of today We are no longer just housewives with curves and the ability to produce babies. We are engineers, doctors and lawyers.
Cierra Steffensen Staff Writer
Why is it that it is 2016 and genderization is still such a prominent source of advertising in media? Women today know that objectification and sexual advertising are present in today’s society, so why isn’t there more being done to help this issue? Online media is a new form of petition and should be more widely used by today’s generation. Advertisements, magazine articles and even presidential elections are all great examples of how far we are allowing gender and sexuality to be pushed into today’s media. The way that women are objectified by people like Trump is a disgusting use of the female body. Rape culture is being spread across the news reports through the form of a political campaign because Trump doesn’t know how to treat women and their bodies right. The fact that our country has even allowed this to go as far as it has is a disgrace. It’s not just the bodies of females that are objectified, it is our minds as well. We are treated like the only things we have the ability

potentially help the rape and sexual culture that has been created and broadcast throughout the country. The young minds of today need to see we are trying to make a difference. Wear what you want to wear. Go into a profession that you would like to go in. Hell, you can be a
stay-at-home mother if you want. Just don’t take s—t for being who you want to be. We all know the men wouldn’t allow that if it were them in our boat. Women need to quit making themselves smaller and stand up for what we believe in.

Christion, Jacks Reclaim Dakota Marker
Last-second touchdown shocks Bison
Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor
The North Dakota State Bison made four stops on fourth down and three red zone stops. At the end of the day, they needed one more to beat South Dakota State at the Fargodome. Jackrabbits quarterback Taryn Christion found Jake Wieneke on fourth and one from the Bison two-yard line in the last second to bring the Dakota Marker back to Brookings. The Jackrabbits trailed for most of the game, but led when it mattered. The final drive for SDSU began at their own 20-yard line with just over two minutes left. SDSU showed they could drive down the field, as they had already done it plenty. In the first two drives, the Jacks went 85 and 78 yards, but had no points to show. Both drives stalled inside the Bison three-yard line. In the first quarter on fourth and goal from the Bison one, Christion fired a high pass to his tight end
Dallas Goedert. The Bison then marched 99 yards for a touchdown. The second drive was similar for the Jackrabbits. This time it was fourth and two from the three-yard line. Christion targeted his big receiver Wieneke, but Jalen Allison broke up the play. “They just kept finding ways to make plays,” Bison head coach Chris Klieman said about his defense. The big score of the first half was the Bison touchdown. Easton Stick engineered a 99-yard drive with help from his running backs. Stick, King Frazier and Lance Dunn all helped the Bison run down the field. Fourteen of the Bison’s 18 plays on the drive were runs. Stick put it home on fourth and goal from the one-yard line. It looked as if Stick would get stuffed on the sneak up the middle, but the sophomore bounced outside for the score. Cam Pederson then cancelled out Chase Vinatieri’s field goal for the Jacks with a 49-yarder as time expired in the half. The second half saw the
same proficiency from the Jacks with added result. The Bison were the ones to set the pace early in the half. A nine play, 78-yard drive gave the Bison a two possession lead. Stick got it done once again with his feet cutting through the Jacks defense for a 26-yard run. That was all the NDSU offense could get going in the second half as the Jackrabbit offense took over. Following a King Frazier fumble, Christion found Goedert for the 12-yard score to bring the game back within seven points. The Bison defense allowed yet another drive go deep into their territory. SDSU set up shop with first and goal from the Bison two. The Bison made yet another stop, this time Tre Dempsey picked off Christion. Wieneke drew double coverage in the corner of the end zone and Dempsey won the jump ball. For the third time, the Bison escaped. Another Vinatieri field goal made it a four-point game. The Bison offense went three and out to set up the
final drive for SDSU. “Four-minute drive, that’s what we wanted, to have a four-minute drive,” Klieman said. Christion ran for his eighth first down on the ground to keep the drive alive early. Then Goedert dragged a couple of Bison tacklers for extra yardage. Wieneke hauled in a 25-yard pass to move to the Bison 11. Goedert once again fought for yardage to set the Jackrabbits near the goal line. Christion finished with 444 all-purpose yards, including 303 passing. Goedert went for 150 yards and the touchdown. For the Bison, Stick finished with 143 yards throwing and 86 on the ground. King Frazier led the running backs with 45 yards. The Bison return to action next weekend with a visit to Western Illinois. Expect the Bison to come out firing. As Dempsey said postgame, “We can say we were going hard last week, but we will be going 30 BRITTANY HOFFMAN | THE SPECTRUM times harder this week at The Bison defense gave up 523 yards in Saturday’s loss. practice.”
October’s Big Sports Picture Fall means plenty going on in sports Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor
All of a sudden, the calendar reads the middle of October. Now is time to hit the pause button and see what is going on in the wide world of sports. Take a moment to appreciate David Ortiz. Big Papi played his final game in Fenway Park to end a glorious career. Ortiz is one of the biggest personalities in all of sports. An incredible athlete and an incredible person. He has been the reason for plenty of emotion in Boston, and
when he stepped out for his curtain call, it was just one more time. Meanwhile, there is still baseball being played. The Divisional Series have wrapped up and the ALCS and NLCS are set. The American League throws together two teams that haven’t played this late. The Blue Jays finds themselves back in October and into the ALCS for the second straight year. Bounced by the Royals last year, the Jays look to go back to the World Series. In their way are the Indians. It seems like 2016 is the year for Cleveland sports
not named after a color. The Tribe are back in the ALCS for the first time since 2007 and look to make their first World Series since 1997. The National League is even more interesting, since the lovable losers are back. The Cubs actually look good this year. There is something about that team that is special. Special enough to break the Curse of the Billy Goat? That is to be seen, but they just might be. The Dodgers offer a true test for the youthful Cubs. Shifting sports, hockey is back. It got off to perhaps the craziest start, with a new star being born. Toronto’s
Auston Matthews burst onto the scene, scoring four goals in his debut — and his first three shots were goals. To make the story better, the Maple Leafs lost. Just another way to show how cruel the sports would is. The NHL script writers have decided to go crazy already. The Wild suffered an opening night loss in St. Louis. For the most part, the Wild looked good, though not sharp in the first. The lack of shots is a bit concerning, but it is early. As mentioned above with the script writers, would not be a surprise if the win the Cup this year.
The NFL gods have decided to throw everything at the Vikings. Injuries don’t seem like they are affecting the Vikes through the first five weeks. Undefeated, leading the division heading into the bye week. Viking fans have reason to cheer again, though conflict is scheduled for after the break. The fans of Wentz Dakota will be split as Minnesota travels to Philly next week. Good news for Americans, Bob Bradley got a new job. The former U.S. Men’s National Team coach was appointed as the new manager of Swansea City
in the English Premier League. Bradley is the first American to manage in the top flight of England. He has been a journeyman since his dismissal from the national team, but had success everywhere he went. Taking over the Welsh side represents the largest challenge, as survival this year is the goal for the club. In addition, the Swans face a difficult run of fixtures in the next month, with trips to Arsenal, Everton and Tottenham along with a visit from Manchester United in the next seven matches. Good luck to you Bob.

Bison Play to Hard-Fought Draw Versus Pioneers Both offenses struggle to get anything going Friday night Thomas Evenella Contributing Writer
The North Dakota State Bison soccer team drew the Denver University Pioneers 0-0 at Dacotah Field on Friday night. The Bison dominated the first half, looking the far superior team throughout. A determined NDSU offense was able to carve apart the Pioneers defense. A strong passing performance from the midfield, guided by even-keeled senior Amy Yang drove the Bison. Crosses consistently rained into Denver’s eighteen-yard box. The best of which led to a goal from the Bison which was called off for offsides, much to the chagrin of Bison fans. The Herd was able to turn defense into offense, which kept Denver on its toes and the Bison deep in the Pioneer’s defending third. The best chance of the half for the Bison came off of sophomore Holly Enderle’s right foot, however the shot was blasted wide left. Despite the constant pressure, NDSU was unable to convert. Training and playing in the high altitude of the Mile High City certainly showed to be an advantage. Denver was able to thwart NDSU’s wide attacking play with their quick and athletic defenders, however they were unable to muster much of an attack. NDSU controlled the game in the first half, which looked promising going into the second half. The Bison began the second half much more tacitly, and Denver took advantage. The Pioneers were able to make the game theirs and took control for most of the second half.
Lizzie Lukas, 3, dribbles the soccer ball into Denver territory Friday night. The teams fought to a 0-0 draw. Denver’s best scoring chance of the night came on Hannah Adler’s curling effort, which sailed wide right. Averaging just 0.77 goals scored per game, the Pioneers struggled mightily against NDSU’s defense, which has conceded the second fewest amount of goals in the Summit League.
Lacking for firepower, Denver turned the game into a hotly contested battle in the midfield. Slowly but surely, the Bison turned momentum back in their favor, as NDSU began reapplying pressure deep in Denver territory. The Bison created chances, however they were undone by poor finishing and Denver’s
goalkeeping tandem. In the 84th minute, Mariah Haberle made a run from midfield, sliced through Denver’s defense and laid the ball off to Yang at the top of the eighteen yard box, but Yang missed narrowly. Both extra time periods were equally contested between the Bison and
BRITTANY HOFFMAN | THE SPECTRUM
Pioneers, but ultimately lacked a defining moment. Denver played for the tie while NDSU exhausted all of their effort into scoring the game winner which never came. The Herd ended the night with sixteen shots, six of which were on target. NDSU only allowed four shots from the Pioneers.
With the tie, the Bison moved to 3-1-1 in conference play. The Herd move on with a road match on the 23rd in Fort Wayne against the Indiana University-Indiana Purdue Mastodons forthcoming.

basketball. The team finished out with a record with 20-13. They were 8-8 in the conference and finished No. 5 in the Summit League. That didn’t stop the Bison from reaching the Summit League championship. They finished one game short of the NCAA tournament and came up short in a loss to South Dakota State. The Bison were lead by senior Kory Brown and junior AJ Jacobson. Together along with the fury of other players, helped the Bison make a somewhat surprising run to
the Summit championship game. Although Brown and others graduated, the team has added much more talent for the upcoming year As the new season is about to begin, head coach David Richman has added three new freshmen. Jared Sameulson, Cameron Hunter and Tyson Ward join the Herd this year. The Bison will also be bringing back junior guard Paul Miller and senior forward Dexter Werner from last year. For the preseason awards, Miller was selected to the preseason All-Summit
League first team and Dexter Werner was selected to the second team. Miller was the leader of the team last year in scoring. Werner was the team’s leading rebounder and a guy you can always count on, as he didn’t miss a single game for the Bison all year last year. Along with the preseason awards, the Summit League came out with their projected standings for the year, which had the Bison finishing in third behind Fort Wayne and South Dakota State. Both Fort Wayne and SDSU
finished tied for first in the conference last year with a conference record of 12-4. Arguably the most exciting thing about this year is the opening of the brand new Scheels Center. The entire building is called the Sanford Health Athletic Complex, a new name for the old Bison Sports Arena. The arena had been home to the Bison for the last 40 years. When construction began in 2013, the team moved to the Scheels Arena where they played for the last two years. But the drive there was awful. The arena was nowhere near campus
and during the winter months no one wanted to drive there. That’s what I am most excited about. I can’t wait to see how many more people end up going to the games knowing that the game is so close. Basketball season is something that I really look forward to, this year especially being the opening of the new Scheels center. The Herd once again looks good enough to make another run at the Summit League championship. And maybe, another run at the NCAA tournament.
