STORY BY BENJAMIN NORMAN & GRAPHICS BY EMILY BEAMAN

The Spectrum examines the fall 2014 enrollment numbers released last week. This series will be reoccurring.

The College of Engineering is the largest college at North Dakota State, growing from 2,375 undergraduate and graduate students last fall to 2,467 students this year.

The college also has the largest gender gap.

Male students make up 89 percent of engineering students at NDSU, a statistic that has historically been the norm across the U.S. The gap shrunk .28 percent from last year here, but men still outnumber women 2,189 to 278.

SWE leads the charge

Mackayla Headlee believes these numbers need to be recognized. She is the president of the Society of Women Engineers at NDSU. “I think that promoting women being in engineering is vitally important,” Headlee, an electrical engineering student, said. “I think women’s skill set have been looked over basically for as long as time. There is a stereotype of women not being able to excel in this field.”

“Our purpose is basically to advance, inspire and achieve,” Headlee said of SWE. “We are just looking to promote women in engineering.”

The group does so by running numerous programs, Headlee said, some of which focus on reaching out to young girls.

TechGYRLS, a 10-week, after-school program, encourages girls across the U.S. in grades 3-7 to explore science, technology, engineering and math.

In its 12th year at NDSU, TechGYRLS hosts 50 girls and 40 volunteers, most of whom are connected to SWE. NDSU’s SWE has applied for a national award to recognize the program.

“When I was little, I didn’t get to take engineering classes in school,” Headlee said. “The boys got to do the math and science classes, but girls went to craft camp while boys built rockets.”

TechGYRLS breaks stereotypes and negative connotations.

“It’s a way for (SWE) to pay it forward with our engineering educations to young girls,” Headlee said.

College of Engineering addresses the gap

Colleges across the nation have struggled with the gender disparity in engineering.

“We have always worked close with SWE,” said Gary Smith, dean of the College of Engineering. He noted how wonderful TechGYRLS is, “but it does only touch a very small group of young women.”

The issue, Smith said, is a social one.

“It is more of an outreach and an awareness problem,” Smith said, comparing NDSU’s issue to the University of North Dakota and their similar gender gap.

“We are aware of it,” Smith said of the numbers. “But it is a very, very challenging problem to move people from, perhaps, their current mindset about what engineers do to actually engineering.

He said stereotypes and connotations must be addressed if the gap is to shrink.

People may think of an engineer as a dirt-covered person working on engines, Smith said, which is not an accurate depiction of engineering as a whole.

Medical and environmental engineering might appeal to women and all incoming engineers as well.

Smith agrees addressing the problem starts when women are young.

“What we’re looking forward to doing is a whole new outreach effort called Project Lead The Way,” Smith said.

PLTW is an engineering-based curriculum implemented for students from kindergarten to high school graduation.

The program has been around Minnesota for some years,

Katie Scholl, Mackayla Headlee and Emily Neuhardt stand in front of the College of Engineering office building.

The three women are engineering students at NDSU.

Smith said, but it is new to North Dakota. The College of Engineering looks forward to working with schools that use the program.

“I do think that will have a significant impact once a fourth or fifth grader gets the idea that engineers do fun things,” Smith said. “It takes away the math and science boredom.”

High school robotics have also seen women enrollment rise in recent years, Smith said.

Although these statistics may seem alarming, Smith is not uneasy.

“I wouldn’t really consider it a problem, it just is a number,” Smith said.

Today

The persisting gap does not surprise Greta Danielson, a senior studying mechanical engineering, but she has grown accustomed to it.

“Obviously, there are not many females in my classes,” Danielson said. “But I do not notice (the disparity) anymore since I am just used to going to school in a male-dominant field.”

Male students recognize the gap as well and its potential dangers.

“This difference probably does discourage some women from pursing a career in engineering,” Philip Lonneman, a mechanical engineering major, said.

He does not know if there are easy solutions to address the gap.

If students are determined, Danielson said, they will make it happen, regardless of gender.

“I want to be an engineer for the same reasons my peers do,” Danielson said. “I want to be a successful design

JOSEPH RAVITS | THE SPECTRUM

engineer. I love math and science and want to apply it in the real world.”

“Initially, it is a little intimidating, but I think that it can actually be an advantage,” Danielson said. “Being a woman in a male-dominant field speaks a lot to a girl’s intelligence, her work ethic and her confidence, which is appealing to future employers.

The future

Although the gender gap is still noticeable, women have already come a long way in the engineering field.

“There was probably close to 800 students in civil engineering alone at Purdue when I was at school,” Smith said of the gap when he went to college. “I think there was probably three women. It was pretty dismal.”

Today, the numbers are not as dramatically unequal.

“I think it’s becoming a lot more socially acceptable for girls to like science, technology, engineering and math,” Headlee said.

“I think people are recognizing us,” Headlee said. “I think it’s changing. I think it’s really exciting. The numbers go up every year, and I think that’s really encouraging to our mission and all the things we do at SWE.” Better equality is good for the industry, Smith said.

“I think it brings great things to the industry. I think women have contributed a lot and they will continue to much more in the future.”

SWE will hold its October meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Construction and Industrial Engineering building, room 101.

Walster Hall will see renovations to its laboratories estimated at $525,000.

More Renovation and Construction Work Planned NDSU wants to spend $4.1 million on renovation and construction projects Josh Francis

Head News Editor

A slew of new construction is planned at North Dakota State.

The State Board of Higher Education will look at several projects NDSU has listed as necessary.

The SBHE meets 8:30 a.m. Thursday at the North Dakota State College of Skills and Technology Training Center in Fargo.

Quentin Burdick Building NDSU wants to spend $1 million on maintaining and enhancing the emergency power supply for telecommunications equipment in the QBB. “The existing emergency electrical system, in its current configuration, is operating near maximum capacity and has experienced overloaded conditions causing untimely interruptions to critical IT services,” an SBHE staff report said.

The project is split into two phases, and the SBHE will consider the second phase, which calls for the replacement of the two 250-kilowatt generators with two new, larger generators.

With approval from the board, the project will go out to bid this month and will be completed by the summer of 2015.

Walster Hall Renovations Laboratories in Walster Hall are in need of renovations, and the university plans on spending $525,000 on renovating two research labs. The hall was originally constructed in 1960.

“The existing laboratory finishes and equipment are original to the building and have outlived their useful lives,” the report says. “The wood casework, countertops, and fume hoods are deteriorated and unrepairable.”

The project will be funded through the operations budget and will likely be completed, if approved, by spring 2015.

Waldron Hall Lab Renovations Waldron Hall suffers some of the same problems as Walster Hall.

The building is slightly older, built in 1958, and many of the labs’ furnishings have

University Police Reminds Campus How to Keep Safe NDSU’s annual security report reveals campus is still safe place to be Josh Francis

Head News Editor

After the death of a North Dakota State student late last month, officials are emphasizing the continued safety of campus.

The body of Thomas Bearson, 18, a freshman at NDSU, was found in Moorhead last month and was the victim of homicide.

Ray Boyer, the director of the University Police and Safety Office, issued a statement that said the circumstances surrounding the death of Bearson are believed to be the first ever.

“We have always found our campus to be safe and secure, with consistently low numbers of crimes reported,” he said in the statement.

Boyer brought attention to the 2014-2015 Annual Security Report showing the campus still remains safe.

The report shows violent crime on campus is almost nonexistent.

In 2013, only two sexual offenses, two aggravated assaults, no robberies and no murders or manslaughter cases were reported.

A vast majority of the offenses listed in the security report are drug- or alcohol-related.

Only one motor vehicle theft was reported last year on campus.

One increasing category was campus burglaries. In 2013, 12 on-campus burglaries were reported compared to only six the previous year.

Sex offenses dropped significantly from 2012.

Eight sexual offenses were reported in 2012 and 2013; that dropped by 75 percent.

While the numbers in the security report aren’t alarming, Boyer still encouraged walking with others on and off campus and

at night. Police escorts are also available 24/7 by phone at 701-231-8998.

Blue light emergency phones scattered throughout campus can be used in the event of an emergency. The phones connect directly to university police.

Precautions Boyer’s statement included ways to stay safe on and off campus.

“Stay sober. Many crimes against persons occur when one or both parties are under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs,” he said.

Keeping rooms locked when absent, sleeping or napping was another important piece of advice for students to follow.

Other advice is to not hide keys outside your apartment or room, don’t prop doors open and don’t dress in front of an open window.

The statement was pretty adamant about not going out or studying alone late at night.

It also suggests staying in well-lit areas of the campus and avoiding vacant areas.

Fire Safety The safety report also highlighted the number of fire incidents from the previous year.

Only two small fires were reported last year that caused between $0-99 worth of damage, the report said.

The incidents were cooking-related and happened in Bison Court East and North Weible Hall.

The report highlighted what measures are in place to prevent fires and to fight them if they do occur.

Only Niskanen South and Niskanen North have partial fire sprinkler systems, the report said. Every residence facility has fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, though.

Additionally, each residence facility, with the exception of University Village, took part in two fire drills last year.

outlived their usefulness, an SBHE report says. NDSU wants to spend $410,000 on renovations to labs in the hall.

“This project will completely renovate one large research laboratory into two laboratory spaces to accommodate two researchers,” the report says. “In addition, an adjacent office suite will be renovated.”

The renovations are also expected to start in October and be completed in spring 2015, if approved.

Loftsgard Roof Repairs The university wants to replace the roof on Loftsgard Hall due to water damage inside the building caused by leaks over the past few years, a SBHE staff report says.

The report says the roof is still the original roof from 1989 and is beyond its useful life.

The repairs are listed at $400,000 and will be taken from the 2013-2015 operations budget.

The repairs, if approved, could begin this month and be finished, weather permitting, before the end of the year, the report said.

Window Replacement in E. Murrow Lebedeff Hall NDSU wants to replace single-pane

windows in this hall with more energyefficient thermopane windows.

“The new windows will help improve occupancy comfort by increasing thermal efficiency and eliminating air infiltration,” the report says.

The windows received a poor rating in the 2014 NDSU Master Plan Building Condition Report.

The replacement of the windows, if approved, will cost $650,000 and will be taken from the university’s operations budget.

The new windows will be installed starting in October and will be completely installed by June 2015, the report says.

Revised STEM Building Funding The SBHE will also see a revised request for additional funding for the Science Technology Engineering and Math Building.

State legislature approved $28.12 million for the project initially, and NDSU is now requesting an additional $1.2 million for the project to bring the total to $29.32 million.

The building is already under construction and is expected to be completed by spring 2016.

In Memoriam: Thomas Bearson Bearson’s life celebrated throughout region Benjamin Norman Co-News Editor

North Dakota State student Thomas Bearson, 18, was laid to rest Monday in Sartell, Minn.

More than 1,000 people celebrated Bearson’s life at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, local media reported.

Bearson was born Jan. 6, 1996, in St. Cloud, Minn., to Gregory and Debra (Saatzer) Bearson.

He attended St. Francis Xavier Elementary School and graduated from Sartell High School in 2014.

Bearson was a standout athlete back home, scoring more than 1,000 points for his high school basketball team. He lettered four times in the sport and was

elected team captain his senior year.

This fall, Bearson started school at NDSU. He lived in Reed Hall and was majoring in nursing.

Condolences were sent through social media, where the hashtag “#IKnowTom” and “#RIPTom” trended on Twitter.

“We’ve tried desperately to make sense of this tragedy,” Greg Bearson, Thomas’ father told mourners Monday. “The only thing we can come up with is the basketball team in heaven needed a point guard.”

A candlelight vigil took place at the Babbling Brooks on Sept. 23 after Bearson’s body was discovered in Moorhead earlier in the day.

He is survived by his parents, a sister, four grandparents, a greatgrandmother and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

“How awesome of a community do we live in that not only cultivates new ideas but helps them grow,” Katie Worral, another cofounder of the HiNDSU said about the Fargo community.

“What better way to encourage people to take time out their busy day other than sitting in a hammock?”

The Hammock Initiative held its first event this past summer, on National Hammock Day, attracting an array of local media.

The group’s launch sparked further media attention as well as a sponsorship from hammock company, Eagle Nest Outfitters.

The Hammock Initiative works with another Fargo-based group, Misfit Inc., which supports

organizations around the world looking to make a revolution.

HiNDSU is the first collegiate chapter of the organization.

The group’s success can be attributed to its presence on social media.

Interested students can visit them on Twitter or read their blog on Tumblr.

On their HiNDSU Facebook page, you can listen to an audio of the group members discuss, in detail, what hammocks mean to them.

Their official statement on Tumblr reads: “We want to see people gathered together for the purpose of relaxing, enjoying each other’s company and, literally, hanging out,” the statement says. “It’s an opportunity for people to be, not do.”

There is a new kid on the block where Jitters used to be. Café Delight is the new distributer of caffeine where coffee addicts can get their fair share of liquid energy.

Saturday was the grand opening for this little café, where they had placed stickers on The Fargo Forum and The Spectrum for a free cup of coffee on that day. There is hope for all those whom missed the event, because any student or staff with a current NDSU ID can receive 10% off all purchases at any time.

As one enters the establishment, there is a noticeable change of atmosphere in comparison to Jitters, which was the previous store in this location. The room is noticeably brighter and the air feels lighter where encouraging music from life 97.9 tames anxieties from the day’s toils, and the smiles upon employee’s faces greet all customers with delight.

now Café Delight as being more welcoming of an environment compared to jitters.

“This is a lot more of a college atmosphere that students want.” Sisser said, sitting inside with her text books open.

Sisser is a junior in the college of communication, whom for the moment is enjoying the peace and quiet that the coffee shop often provides. A look of contentment could describe her demeanor as she continues to study for her classes.

A soft and subtle roar dominates the open lounge area, where the buzzing of conversations meets and creates synergy with the sound of coffee brewing and uplifting music softly playing in the background.

A bright yellow slide on a monitor displays the message of “Enjoy!” and “Give Joy!” which is a good mantra for this little café, where the main goal is to provide an encouraging place for students to escape the monotony and struggles of the day.

On the other side of the glass containing most of the baked goods and cooled beverages, Becky Claridge, a barista at Café Delight happily welcomes and greets anyone who enters the establishment.

“I like meeting new people and talking to anyone who walks into the café,” Claridge said. “I have not run into any rude

customers.”

She said that she enjoys working for Isaac and Meghan Poku, the owners of Café Delight and both Dunn Bros coffee shops in Fargo. They keep the staff at ease by focusing on being family-oriented and Christian based, Claridge added.

One of the major differences between Café Delight and Jitters is the fact that no alcohol is served at the new coffee shop, as well as the wide variety of sandwiches and soups that can be bought. There is a variety of choices for anyone who is willing to give the “Southwestern” or “Cherry Pecan Chicken” a shot.

Claridge said that it’s a better transition for students, because they can grab a bite to eat in between classes.

If there is need for coffee, sandwich and soup on the way to class, then Café Delight is a must for all those wanting to slow down the pace and just sit and relax while enjoying a meal. For those wanting to study, the atmosphere at Café Delight is condoning and quiet on a regular basis.

Sharpie Mugs

As North Dakota sinks deeper into the fall months, the cold weather creeps closer and closer. Now, I’m not exactly thrilled with the thought of snow, but even I have to admit there are definite upsides to the freezing climate.

I’m a sucker for sledding, UGGs and oversized sweatshirts. They’re all great, but my all-time favorite thing to do is curl up by the fireplace with a mug of hot cocoa. Who doesn’t love a warm cup of coffee to wake up to in the morning or a mug of hot chocolate at a chilly football game?

Mugs are fun, because, aside from holding my favorite hot drinks, they come in all sorts of shapes, colors and sizes. The best type of mug, as with most anything, is one that is customized.

As it turns out, customizing a mug for yourself or as a gift is something that can easily

What was interesting about these “Sharpie Mugs” on Pinterest was the many different suggestions for how to make them. Some people recommend not baking the mugs, while others claimed baking was the only way the marker would stay. There were other people who said they used regular Sharpies and those who swore by only oil-based Sharpies.

With many options to consider, I finally decided on the method and materials for my project.

Wipe down the mug (dollar store or very cheap mugs work best) with a cleaning wipe or wet paper towel.

Use a Sharpie to write/draw whatever you’d like on the cup.

Stick your mug in the oven, set the oven to 410 degrees and leave it in for about 30 minutes. You want your mug to preheat with the oven.

Carefully take your cup out of the oven, and let it cool. Warning: it will be very HOT. The hardest part of this project, for me at least, was trying not to smudge my writing! It took me an embarrassing number of times wiping the marker off the cup and starting over to finally be satisfied with my work.

While I am happy with how my mug turned out, I do recommend finding oil-based Sharpies rather than regular Sharpies. My marker still has a tendency to smudge or wipe off. Regardless of its minor weaknesses and non-dishwasher-safeness, this mug made an awesome, cheap and personal gift for my mom’s birthday.

Eurocentrism in Education The problem with academic injustice in American classrooms Eric Thibert

Contributing Writer

Of the injustices left to be addressed in our country, one of the worst relates to the state of education. Elementary, middle and high schools and even institutions of higher education disproportionately promote the worldview developed by Western civilization, a practice known as Eurocentric education. Evident everywhere, though particularly in the humanities, Eurocentrism is a central problem in American schools.

It’s ethically wrong to only present information that’s been treated by a Western lens and doing so results in tragic social consequences.

A Eurocentric curriculum, the kind seen in almost all schools in the United States, focuses on the ideas and achievements of Western cultures, including Europe and

the English-speaking world. It ultimately stems from an underlying sense of European exceptionalism, a notion adopted by students and then passed on in a perpetual cycle.

The European focus is most apparent in the teaching of history, which is generally done with special attention given to Europe and its interactions with the rest of the world.

From Spain’s discovery and colonization of Latin America, to the West’s involvement in the Opium Wars in China, to the conquest of Africa. Europeans are seen as having held the pen that wrote all of history.

When they’re presented in this way, these events suggest the rest of the world is less important when viewed alone, that events like the Latin American literary boom or the establishment of a republic in China are of marginal significance since they don’t directly relate to the West’s experience.

In the arts, European and American literature is given special attention. The regular Twain, Poe and Hemingway assignments are often accompanied by translations of Homer, Dumas, Chekov and Kafka in high school English classes. In

most cases, little room is made to include writers like Chinua Achebe, Julia Alvarez or Gabriel García Márquez, who are arguably more relevant for 21st century students.

Paying excessive attention to the literary achievements of Europeans and Americans leads to the belief that non-Europeans don’t produce intellectual works of the same caliber, which simply isn’t true.

There’s an obvious achievement gap in the United States, and, luckily, only a relatively small group of people believe it’s due to inherent differences in capabilities between races and ethnicity. At the same time though, Eurocentric curricula perpetuate the idea that Westerners are more intelligent, innovative, creative and generally superior to all other people. The effect of this unbalanced depiction is that non-European American students are led to believe they can’t perform at the same level as their peers.

With criticism of affirmative action for the advancement of minorities being widespread, it seems policies that seek to eliminate racial disparities should focus on

eradicating the last pro-white institutions before any other steps are taken. It’s worth noting that it may in fact be because of the cycle I described that affirmative action has failed in some areas. The philosophy of education holds the greatest potential.

Changing it to promote the success of minority students wouldn’t require distorting facts in order to exaggerate the importance of certain events. The history is already there, and all the reform will follow swiftly when we simply decentralize our worldview.

Broad-based educational plans are becoming more important than ever, and our students are put at a distinct disadvantage by having a European-centered background.

In order to cope with shifting demographics in the United States and to be productive in the global economy, students must be able to understand the significance and conditions of the world’s various cultures. All that we’ve been prepared for though is life as peasants on a 14th century farm in England. I’d say the time has come, but the truth is that a complete restructuring of our educational system is already long overdue.

Drunk Girls to Blame? What the...?!

Rape prevention article gives absurd advice Denise Luttio

Contributing Writer

I thought maybe this was a joke article, like something out of The Onion. “Drunk Female Guests are the Gravest Threat to Fraternities” was the headline.

What? Okay, so I bit. I looked at the source: Forbes Magazine.

Unbelievable. Bill Frezza, an MIT graduate and fraternity alumni president, was the author who claimed this in a recent article online. I seriously couldn’t even comprehend what I had just read. The website quickly took it off their page and fired Frezza.

A long, terrible story short, his argument was that the drinking age should be lowered to 18 and that beer, rather than booze, should be pushed on campuses so as to avoid drunken female guests at parties that could potentially bring down the entire fraternity system. He was serious. Without even getting into the debate about the legal drinking age, this is the most ridiculous argument.

He thinks men at fraternities bear no responsibility for their own actions, but rather their responsibility is to escort women home who seem to have had too much to drink to avoid being falsely accused of rape. They also have a responsibility to each

other to stop a fellow fraternity brother from taking an intoxicated woman to his room so the woman couldn’t “change her mind later” and say it was rape. Okay? I wish I was kidding.

If you think that this only happens on bigger campuses far away from here, you are incorrect. There was an incident at Minnesota State University Moorhead on Sept. 1, where a 23-year-old male college student was arrested for providing alcohol to an 18-year-old female he had just met, then raping her while she was black out drunk and nearly unconscious. He had invited others to watch, and recorded the rape on his cell phone. She was clearly heard on the video saying no. She was only helped when an ambulance had to be called because of her state. They arrived and found her half undressed and vomiting. She had no recollection of the event.

How can anyone hear the facts of this case and be convinced that it was somehow her fault? She accepted alcohol on the premise of having some fun, not on the assumption that she would later be raped and taken to the hospital. She did not ask for that, and she was not responsible for it.

No victim asks for it, and even if the victim is drunk, an assault is never the victim’s fault. Ever.

Don’tcha Know?: Unexplored ND To go where no North Dakotan has gone before Jack Dura A&E Editor

On my desk at The Spectrum office and mounted on my bedroom wall is the official NDDOT map. I’m a lover of North Dakota, and gazing at the state reminds me of the places I want to see for myself some day.

It’s also gotten me thinking. North Dakota is spliced by roads, highways and two interstates, covered in farmland and split with rivers and waterways.

But are there any places unexplored?

Sure, you can make an accurate map of the state, label all the roads and rivers and cities, but do we really know the entirety of North Dakota? We can aerially photograph it, Google Streetview can canvas any and all roadways and we can chart the lakes and streams.

With all of this mapping and photographing, can we say all of North Dakota has been seen?

I say not.

In over 70,000 square

miles of the state, there’s no way we’ve seen and stepped on everything. Sure, we’ve mapped it all out, and it’s probably pretty accurate.

But there have to be some spaces where man hath not trod.

So where could such places be? Let’s break it down.

North Dakota’s farmland is a great place to start. Over 90 percent of the state has been converted for farms and ranches, doing away with much of the native tallgrass prairie of eastern North Dakota.

Our state’s waterways are well mapped and marked, from the Red River of the North to the Sheyenne River (North Dakota’s longest river) to the Missouri out west. We have many lakes, over 170 if I’m not mistaken, with Lake Sakakawea, Devils Lake and Lake Oahe commanding over 1,100 square miles of the state.

As a matter of fact, how well-explored are North Dakota’s lakes and rivers? Has someone put the Lorrance Elite-5 on these bodies of water and mapped their bottoms? Who knows what’s down there!

Shipwrecks? The ruins of ancient civilizations? Dare I say, lost treasure?

Then there are the roadways. Over 106,000 miles of roads traverse

While a hiking trail cuts through the Sheyenne Forest in Ransom County, are there parts of the riparian forest that are unexplored and unseen?

the state, more miles per capita than any other state in America (166 miles for every 1,000 people, according to the NDDOT).

Howevever, only 87,078 of these miles are maintained and reported on to the federal government. That does away with even more territory potentially unexplored.

North Dakota’s western half seems likely to be virgin in many places. Has anyone climbed every butte, explored every formation,

paddled the lengths of the Little Missouri? Hard to say. Yes, it’s mapped by the NDDOT, Rand McNally and others. You betcha, Google Maps has sky-cammed it.

But there’s no way western NoDak has all been seen.

What could be out there in the expanse of the state?

What could be hiding in the depths of Devils Lake or the creases of the Killdeer Mountains?

Endemic species? Unique minerals?

Natural wonders?

All it takes is a pool of water hidden under a rock in the middle of nowhere for an endemic species to be discovered. Look at California’s Devils Hole pupfish. Could North Dakota have such a rarity?

For all we know, there could be a second waterfall in the Sheyenne Forest or elsewhere. A cottonwood taller than the one near Sheldon could exist, sequestered away where North Dakotans have not

JACK DURA | THE SPECTRUM

trod. Could there be caves never entered, streams never traveled or sloughs unseen?

Of course! North Dakota was only penetrated by European exploration 275 years ago, and in the years since, I will bet anything secret spaces lie unseen somewhere out there. I’ll take a leaf out of Medora’s book here, and welcome you to explore and adore what North Dakota may be hiding.

A Generational Disrespect for Authority Where did the respect for authority go?

Caleb Werness Opinion Editor

Growing up, I was a l w a y s taught by my parents to respect my elders and those in positions of authority. It made sense to me. Yet, the society around me seemed to be conveying a completely different message.

Television and movies especially portray parents and adult figures as incompetent, with kids actually running the show.

As a young person, it seemed harmless and humorous, but as I grow older, I now see just how disturbing it is.

The value of respect has been lost — especially on our generation. The social molding has taught us we are best, and everybody else is a fool.

This is just a broad outline from observation. I know there are exceptions,

especially here in the Midwest, where we place value on politeness. Yet, I can’t help but believe this condition has already afflicted our culture as a whole.

A perfect example is to look at how people treat the president. The man is the leader of our country, yet people make terrible, disrespectful remarks about him constantly. Regardless if you completely disagree with his agenda, he has been elected and deserves the respect. The people of America put him in this position, even if you personally did not vote for him.

It is despicable how little respect we as a society show to those with which we disagree. When did it become policy to berated other people if they disagree with you? Have people forgotten it is all right to agree to disagree. I have met “open-minded” people who are among the most condescending individuals you can find.

Don’t think this is solely a critique of our generation, generation X and Y. This is also a reprimand to those who taught us this

behavior is acceptable. You can’t sensibly criticize a younger generation without examining those who shaped them. Responsibility doesn’t lie on one person; it is society as a whole.

It seems more people found it more comfortable to watch T.V. and identify with the dysfunctional family found in “Married with Children” rather than strive to love, care and respect each other like the Cleavers in “Leave it to Beaver.”

Granted those examples are dated, but the point still stands.

Respect for others and for those in positions of authority is disappearing.

People are ungrateful and find it acceptable to tear down others who have a different opinion then their own. Remember back in kindergarten when our teachers taught us about the “Golden Rule?” Treat others as you wish to be treated.

If we as a society adhered to that principle, we would see social change for the better. If everyone cared, there would be a lot less hurt going around. Simply put: owe no man anything except to love them.

Go Crawlin’: F-M Showcases Studios, Art Artists, community members breaking down dialectic barriers through open studio weekend

BY TESSA BECK

Walk, run, drive, jump, roll, skip, fly, swim and yes, crawl, to Fargo-Moorhead’s best studio spaces, which house some of the region’s most notable visual artists.

The Fargo-Moorhead Studio Crawl, an event coordinated by the F-M Visual Artists, is a weekend-long event dedicated to celebrating the visual arts in our region. The first weekend in October, participating artists will open their workspace to the public for live demonstrations, questions and answers and to create an overall sense of enthusiasm for the fine arts.

The Studio Crawl is preparing for its 11th year. Its inception is nearly synchronous with the founding of the FMVA. Due to its success in previous years, and effective marketing by the organization, the event not only has a regional appeal but a national level of interest as well.

Artists request participation in the event, and from that point are added to the comprehensive map listing every available studio location for the public to visit between the two days. The map, as well as an overarching preview of the Crawl, is currently located at the Plains Art Museum.

You can find individual works from each of the 41 associated artists, in addition to maps and other brochures, to ensure a rewarding Studio Crawl experience.

Jon Offutt, a glassblower with House of Mulciber and director of the event, provided helpful insight to getting the most from the event and highlighted the Plains Art Museum’s crucial role in the success of the Studio Crawl.

“Visit the Plains first; you can determine what you’re interested in,” Offutt said.

“Look at some of the actual work, gain some knowledge of what’s going on. Then look at the map and decide where you’re going to go.

With 41 locations, you can’t do everything; so pick a geographic area. Have a plan, have an idea of what you’re going to do, and spend some time at each studio. Be involved. Talk to the artist. Meet the artist.”

Having the opportunity to meet artists in their working space, rather than in a gallery setting can foster a more comfortable dialogue between audience and creator in some cases.

Furthermore, it can lead to enlightenment from the people in understanding what truly goes into creating art. But with any creative practice, the process can be personal; so a certain amount of trust and boldness is required from the artists who open their space to the community.

Kent Kapplinger, a professor of visual art, printmaking and design at North Dakota State and Director/Master Printer at PEARS, commented on the internal struggle involved with an open studio, “It’s a mix of things. It’s primarily a great feeling, because part of what we do as artists is try to inform. Sometimes I feel there’s a perception or stereotype of artists that they’re seen as individuals different from everyone else; what it does is gives a chance to humanize what we do. We have a

profession. But even more so, it’s a chance to have people look at your work and be able to talk about it at the same time.”

McCal Joy, a fine artist/illustrator located in the Spirit Room studios will be taking on her second year of involvement with the Studio Crawl this season. She had a similar perspective to add to the concept of the public viewing a working art space, “For me, personally, I really enjoy allowing people to come see the artistic process, and to come look at a studio; to see that it’s not completely pristine and sparkly like some studios may look from the outside.

A practicing studio can get pretty gritty.”

NDSU hosts professors and student artists at its downtown Renaissance location throughout the event. With the university’s sponsorship, it declares support of its visual art programs, along with the art community comprehensively. With the excess of NDSU presence in the event, Kapplinger and others hope to see a younger, collegiate crowd make the Crawl part of their weekend plans.

“Hopefully it’s building an appreciation ... in the element of, ‘Here’s a practical experience,’” Kapplinger said. “I’m always thinking about our students here working in the field, but I know there’s 12,000 other students. It’s certainly my goal to help them understand and appreciate art.”

Ultimately, to understand the success of an event in the realm of the Studio Crawl, one must observe its relevancy and overall goals. Offutt says the event’s best outcome is, “(To) build an audience. Developing an audience that’s engaged with the visual arts, so they will go to ecce, or Uptown, or Boerths, and spend money on local products, on handcrafted (items), on better aesthetics; to have a better understanding of it.”

Offutt also expressed his hope that the daytime crawlers would find their way to the gallery spaces that evening, in order to support those events as well.

The F-M Studio Crawl is crafted to host the most seasoned visual art veterans to the opposite end of the spectrum — complete newcomers. When understanding the general goal of the weekend, interest increases on all fronts.

“As studies have shown, in a lot of areas the arts community is what helps the (overall) community flourish,” Kapplinger said.

Mike Marth: New Works at Ecce Local artist, professor makes impact through materiality Tessa Beck

Contributing Writer

Saw blades, candy wrappers, wood chips — chalk it all up to “Items Not Expected to Be Seen in a Gallery Space.” But this is where artist Mike Marth sets himself apart.

In a unique blend of exacting techniques and focused materiality, Marth has built a career on challenging forms and perceptions. In his latest show, titled “New Works,” Marth adds yet another layer to his ongoing dialogue with form and the ways in which to expand them. The collection will be on display at Ecce Gallery from Oct. 2 through Nov. 3.

As noted, the physical materials are a guiding force behind Marth’s work. When asked how materiality affected his creative process, he said, “They’ll guide the type of imagery or the forms that result as I work with them …

I like to take materials and transform and re-present them. Materials will take on a different sort of feel or even content sometimes by just juxtaposing them differently. They’ll generate some kind of

dialogue between each other.”

The materiality element of Marth’s work has been a continuation of an explorative learning process.

Over the course of 16 years, Marth has dabbled with the concept of still-life imagery.

So much so, as in its earliest days every piece was titled “Still-Life.” The reworking of allusions quickly began to evolve from that point to where his career stands today.

“I’m not interested in painting allusions of things.

I’d rather use the thing, put it on there,” Marth said. “Rather than painting a coffee cup, I started attaching coffee cups, or scissors, or spoons and forks — things like that. As that went [on], the use of those materials became less and less about presenting that object, as transforming that object into some new form.”

The use of construction materials, recyclables and other natural forms can be expected in Marth’s work, but the method in which it is used is what sets his work apart. Each collection will naturally take on a materialistic theme.

New Works places heavy emphasis on the use of birch bark, which carries with it a deeply personal, emotional feel.

Presenting personal elements through an abstract medium such as visual

art can leave much up to audience interpretation.

Carrying meanings across silent boundaries creates opportunity for both the viewer and creator.

“I would like audiences to get what I’m trying to convey with my work, but at the same time, sometimes I don’t really know what that is,” Marth said. “Sometimes I’ll find something curious, and I’ll explore it. I don’t always have some profound

‘Judgment’ Drags Out but Covers Ground

Relevant themes of truth, justice ring out in 150-minute play Jack Dura

A&E Editor

Upon exiting the theater after seeing “Judgment at Nuremberg” by Tin Roof Theatre, two things are apparent: its length and its strength.

As a courtroom drama, and one based in truth, “Judgment at Nuremberg” goes through the trial of four Nazi judges charged with various crimes during the second World War. From start to finish, the audience sees everything plus extra, all in two and a half hours.

It’s a length like that that somewhat wore on the opening night audience, who exited The Stage at Island Park a few minutes after 10 p.m.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with “Judgment” itself. It’s a fine play that touts messages of tolerance, truth and justice and that bigotry will not stand anywhere.

As a courtroom drama, it could be expected all scenes would take place in a courtroom, or at least inside a courthouse. “Judgment”

found its main character, Dan Haywood, a North Carolina district court judge, fraternizing with the widow of a war criminal whose house he happens to be staying in.

His interactions with this woman, in hindsight, seemed superfluous and could definitely be cut for time. After all, the subject at hand is trying four judges charged with war crimes, not discussing the lives of begrudged German widows and fatigued American judges.

“Judgment’s” courtroom scenes were where the play’s spine was strongest, and a spectrum of characters supported these. From the young man testifying about his sterilization to the woman brought forward to recall her executed Jewish lover, “Judgment” brought forth some very real truths from a part of history that witnessed horrible events.

Set in Nuremberg, Germany, many of the cast had to develop a German accent for this play, and a fair number of them pulled it off.

Reid Strand was in prime form as defense attorney Oscar Rolfe, as was Patrick Carriere as the young man sterilized for being “feebleminded.”

Nailing the accent was vital for all German charac-

I

ters, and some actors were not entirely convincing. It’s no doubt a hard thing to do alongside a dialogue, which is tense and rapid-fire at many points throughout the play.

Kudos to Malcolm Thompson for delivering an emotional confession on the stand as his controversial German judge Ernst Janning. This scene stands out from all the rest, as Janning essentially seals his fate from the tribunal judges.

The horrors of the Nazi regime are well documented in history books and photographs, but for them to be presented through dramatic testimony onstage was a lens unviewed for most people. “Judgment at Nuremberg” succeeds in its salient message — bigotry and hate will not be tolerated in any society, and truth and justice will always have the right ends for villains and their victims.

This play continues its run at The Stage at Island Park at 333 Fourth St. S. at 7:30 p.m. ThursdaySaturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $12 for students with a $7 student rush. Call 701-235-6778 for tickets.

statement to make.”

From Marth’s viewpoint, the worst interpretation of his work would be indifference. The work is deliberate. Beyond its thematic elements, finding Mike Marth in the collection is simple when analyzing the layers of humor and sarcasm present in both his work and personality.

Relevancy is a hard-hitting, yet vital concept for artists to

analyze. When asked if his work was relevant, Marth quickly answered, “It is to me. It’s what I do, it gives me a sense of purpose. I think it adds value to the world …

I don’t know how relevant, and I don’t ask myself that.

I feel it’s relevant enough to lure me out of bed every morning, and feel good about doing it.”

Bison Football Team Prepares for MVFC Schedule Western Illinois hosts NDSU in its homecoming Saturday Colton Pool Sports Editor

North Dakota State football head coach Chris Klieman knows what playing at Western Illinois is like. He was an assistant coach there for three years in the 1990s.

It’s the Leathernecks’ homecoming, and the three-time FCS champion Bison will be in Macomb, Ill., so Hanson Field is going to be rocking.

“It’s a neat place,” Klieman said.

“They’re going to have an unbelievable crowd.”

NDSU (4-0) will face UWI at 2:30 p.m.

Saturday in the Bison’s first Missouri Valley Football Conference game of the season.

“We’re going into eight tough football games,” Klieman said. “If you don’t play your A game, you’re going to get knocked off. Our guys see what the Valley has done … If you go on the road in this league, you’re going to have adversity.”

UWI is led by sophomore quarterback Trenton Norvell, who has completed 60 percent of his throws and seven touchdown passes.

Klieman said the Leathernecks (2-3, 0-1 MVFC) run a fast-paced offense, which is hard to simulate in practice when the scout teams don’t know the playbook.

Women’s cross country Sophomore Erin Teschuk put her name in the women’s cross country record books at North Dakota State by recording a 21:02 six-kilometer race at the 2014 Stanford Invitational Saturday. Teschuk finished fifth overall and ran the fastest six-kilometer time in NDSU history.

Teschuk beat the fastest six-kilometer time by four seconds, which was set by Brecca Wahlund at the 2012 NCAA Midwest Regional.

Four runners finished before Teschuk in the invitational, and two of those were professionals.

“Getting lined up is the biggest challenge and not getting too complicated,” Klieman said. “They’re going to go as fast as they can within reason. If they get a good play, they’re getting right back on that ball and coming quickly. They catch some people not ready to play.”

The Bison are coming off of a bye week, which has given them a chance to work on some weaknesses. Klieman said different facets of their special teams will be a point of emphasis this week in practice.

“It gives our kids a chance to get away from football for a few days, refresh themselves, get their bodies healed up from some of the knicks,” Klieman said. “(But if you) flip it, sometimes you can say that if you’re on a run, you don’t want a bye week.”

Senior tight end Kevin Vaadeland said he’s had to work with many of the younger

offensive players, especially during the bye week. He said the new players are picking up the playbook and a feel for a new level of football faster than he did when he was a freshman.

But in his sixth year with NDSU, he has worked things out.

“Taking so many reps over the years, I can see the defense and understand what they’re doing,” Vaadeland said. “I can work the leverage and see where all of the holes are. That gets me open a lot.”

While Vaadeland leads the team with 14 receptions, he said the most important aspect to his game is blocking for the run game.

“With our offense, we get into heavy personnel so we can grind the game out at the end,” Vaadeland said. “That way I can sneak out and catch a few passes.”

The NDSU running game is led by John

Crockett, who has 485 yards and six TDs on the ground this season. But younger running backs like King Frazier and Chase Morlock have gotten more involved, including on a full house formation which features all three backs.

“I like all three backs,” Klieman said.

“All three of them have a real spot, and you saw that against Montana getting all three of them in the game.”

Crockett said UIW, which has allowed 128.4 rushing yards per game, has limited plenty of other skill players.

“They’ve stopped a lot of good backs in the nation,” Crockett said. “It’s going to be real interesting to see them go against what we run here, because they run a similar defense to us. It’s going to be real interesting playing those guys.”

Vaadeland said the offense doesn’t need to win the game for NDSU, but it needs to improve with less penalties. The Bison have accrued 32 fouls for 257 yards.

But Crockett said their problems close to the endzone are far simpler.

“It’s a real easy fix: score,” Crockett said.

“We’ve had some opportunities when we drive down the whole field.”

Limiting the Leathernecks’ offense will be key in sealing up momentum in playing MVFC teams, Klieman said.

“We still have to play really good football if we’re going to win this game as well as any other game in our league,” he said.

Bison senior Abbi Aspengren checked in at 22:14 for 49th place, while sophomore Tarin Lachowitzer ran 23:12 for 127th place.

Bison junior Ashley Heinze finished her first collegiate race in 23:33.

The Bison placed 12th out of 21 teams.

Stanford won the women’s team meet title.

Men’s cross country On Saturday, eight NDSU men’s cross country runners recorded career-best times in the eight-kilometer Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif.

Bison seniors Brett Kelly and Marty Joyce led the team to an eighth-place finish out of a total of 17 teams. Kelly finished 62nd overall, while Joyce took 63rd at the Stanford University Golf Course. They both

finished the eight-kilometer course at 24 minutes, 50 seconds.

The No. 3 NDSU finisher was senior Lucas DeGree, coming in 79th place with a time of 25 minutes, while NDSU junior Brendan Skime took 90th place with a time of 25:07. Grady Anderson finished 115th at 25:18 and was the last scoring time for the university.

The top five runners for NDSU improved their times respectively from last year’s Stanford Invitational, including an impressive 1 minute, 36 seconds by Joyce.

Washington State won the team title with a total of 73 points.

NDSU’s next race is Saturday at the South Dakota State Classic in Brookings.

S.D. Volleyball NDSU volleyball was unable to capture their first Summit League win of the year, as the University of South Dakota (7-6, 1-0 Summit League) defeated the Bison 3-1 Friday night.

NDSU (5-9, 0-1) were led by junior outside hitter Jenni Fassbender, as she recorded 18 kills and sophomore middle blocker Emily Minnick had 14 kills with a .462 attacking percentage.

Bison sophomore setter Monica Claxton posted a career-high with 17 digs in the 2521, 23-25, 25-22 and 25-17 loss.

Sophomore libero Emily Milligan had 24 digs.

Bison Tight End Jeff Illies Makes Small Town Impact Lidgerwood native already contributing at NDSU as a redshirt freshman Sam Herder

Spectrum Staff

Jeff Illies wasn’t sure if he wanted to play basketball or football at the college level. The Wyndmere-Lidgerwood, N.D., standout was a threetime, all-state performer in the fall and a four-time, all-district player in the winter for the Warbirds.

Illies decided to go with football, but that didn’t mean his basketball skillset was put aside.

The North Dakota State redshirt, freshman tight end has become a threat in the passing game with his ability to go up and get the ball at its highest point. He showed that to the coaching staff last year on the practice squad. This year, Illies is ready to show his ability on game days.

And he did so on Sept.

13.

Illies caught the game’s first touchdown against Incarnate Word. On the 11yard strike, Illies went up and caught the ball with a defender draped over his back.

“It was an unreal feeling,” Illies said. “(It’s) definitely the highlight of my sports career.”

The catch brought the Fargodome crowd of 19,020 to its feet, but the NDSU coaches have seen plays like that for more than a year.

“Jeff is more of a passcatching tight end,” tight ends and fullbacks coach Tyler Roehl said. “He’s very good and detailed in his routes (and has) very sure hands. I think he’s a very

NDSU tight end Jeff Illies caught his first career touchdown against Incarnate Word.

good receiving tight end.

He gives us another option in the pass game and he can stretch the field vertically a little bit better than our other guys.”

Division I challenges But it didn’t come easy for Illies. Going from 9-man high school football to Division I brought its challenges.

“It was a dramatic change the first year,” Illies said. “The smallest things like the language they use and the terminology was all foreign to me. But I’ve grown accustomed, and it’s second nature now, and I feel like I fit in pretty good.”

Finding the right fit was always a priority for Illies when he was being recruited. After an offer from NDSU the summer going into his senior year, Illies was still deciding if football or basketball was his future. After he decided football, Illies had another

decision to make.

He contemplated going to Minnesota State University Moorhead, where coaches said he would likely play right away. But it came down to playing at the highest level possible, and NDSU turned out to be the right choice, he said.

The path to earn playing time, though, became a lot tougher. Illies came in at 198 pounds. The 6-foot-3 tight end is now 215 pounds.

“Coach (Jim) Kramer does an excellent job,” Illies said of his strength and conditioning coach.

“He definitely keeps you on your toes with the weights. Last year, I think we weighed in everyday. He was being patient with me and understands that they want to keep me as mobile as possible.”

Illies doesn’t have the size of the typical bruising tight end NDSU is known for. The Bison are a run-

first team, making the tight end position valuable in the run game. That resulted in a few “welcome to Division I football” moments for Illies, like being popped by linebacker Travis Beck while playing scout team.

But Illies has shown the type of threat he can be in the passing game.

“Hearing things from other coaches, he was dangerous on the scout team,” Roehl said. “He showed the ability to go up and get the ball and just be a pest over there and give them such a good look that they didn’t want to go against him.”

Moving up the depth chart Illies transitioned from scout team to contributing on more and more plays as this season progressed. He has two catches for 32 yards on a tight end depth chart, which features a sixth-year senior and a junior. “(I) definitely just

wanted to contribute and make as many plays as possible,” Illies said of his goals entering this season.

“I knew they were going to be presented. (The coaches) were talking about it all off-season. I just wanted to make an impact wherever I could.”

After the UIW game, NDSU head coach Chris Klieman made it a point to stress Illies’ impact.

“Jeff Illies made a great catch, guys,” Klieman said of the touchdown grab.

“Carson (Wentz) put it in the only spot it could be and Jeff went and got it. Everyone remembers the first play of Jeff’s college career, dropping a ball he should’ve caught against Iowa State and getting knocked out the rest of the game. Well the kid’s came back and has made two critical plays for us.”

While playing for the three-time FCS champions,

climbing the depth chart isn’t easy, especially for a redshirt freshman. Roehl said Illies still needs to come along in the run game, because they can’t just throw him in on pass plays.

But from spring football to now, Illies has progressed to where Roehl said they can throw him in on some different concepts and “give some defensive coordinators fits.”

Other small town players Illies isn’t the only small town guy to make an impact, though. The Bison have been able to keep North Dakota kids in their home state and make it an emphasis to scout every high school in the state, even the small towns. Beck from Munich, Landon Lechler from Beach and Jack Plankers from Kindred have all started for the Bison.

“It’s a huge key for us to dig in the states of North Dakota especially … for these small-town gems you could say that are being overlooked,” Roehl said.

“With myself being from North Dakota, it’s especially unique to keep finding kids in our state. That is our priority; it really is.”

Illies has added himself to that list of key contributors.

Even though the stage has grown significantly bigger, football is still football.

And Illies is glad he’s still playing it.

“It’s been amazing,” Illies said. “(It’s the) hardest I’ve ever had to work in my life, but (it’s) definitely worth it. (It’s a) great group of guys, and it’s literally another family. I feel really at home here.”

Bison Volleyball Swept by IUPUI at Home Hickey tallies 21 kills, 11 digs to lead Jaguars to victory Corrie Dunshee

Contributing Writer

Junior outside hitter Kaitlyn Hickey recorded a team-high 21 kills and 11 digs to lead the Indiana Purdue-Indianapolis Jaguars over North Dakota State in a three-set sweep Sunday at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse.

Sophomore middle hitter Emily Miron led NDSU with 13 kills, followed by Emily Minnick with 12.

Jenni Fassbend totaled 10 digs for the Bison while setter Monica Claxton recorded nine.

IUPUI’s Meredith Farkas and Alexis Mapes both logged nine digs.

With the 25-21, 26-24 and 25-22 loss, the Bison are now 5-9 overall and 0-2 in Summit League play.

IUPUI moves to 8-9 overall and 2-0 in Summit League play.

The Bison kept a close

match in the first set, as they held the lead four times by narrow margins. NDSU tied the match at 12 apiece before the Jaguars went on a 7-2 run to make the score 19-14.

The Bison fought back to a three-point deficit four different times (20-17, 2118, 23-20 and 24-21), but could not come any closer as the Jaguars put away the first set with a first set win.

NDSU came closest to winning in the second set.

With IUPUI up early, the Bison went on a 4-0 streak to grab their biggest leads of

the set, 6-3. With the score later tied at 9-9, NDSU went on a three-point run to pull ahead 12-9.

IUPUI responded and tied the game before going on a 4-1 point run to retake the lead 17-14. The Bison came back with a 3-1 point run of their own to tie the game at 18-18.

With a 24-23 Bison lead, IUPUI took off with three straight points to wrap up the second set 26-24.

NDSU encountered their biggest lead of the day in the first half of the third set, 10-6, and their last lead

at 12-11. Facing a 22-16 deficit, NDSU went on a 6-0 point run to tie the set, but could not do anymore as the Jaguars replied with three points to take the match for good with a third set score of 25-22.

“It was kind of a roller coaster,” Bison head coach Kari Thompson said. “We passed it well and dug well. We were able to keep our middles involved and everything was good.”

With outside hitter Mikaela Purnell out due to injury, Thompson said one game improvement is to fill

that role on the team.

“I think getting confidence back in our services, pass and defense,” Thompson said of overall improvements. “We’re not necessarily controlling as much as I would like to see.”

The Bison were in action again Tuesday at South Dakota State. NDSU came back and won 3-2 after falling behind 0-2. The next home game is at 1 p.m.

Sunday against Western Illinois.

Plenty to Celebrate About the Ron Gardenhire Era Twins manager fired but not forgotten after successful seasons Joe Kerlin Staff Writer

The 2002 Minnesota Twins were my favorite baseball team of all time.

In that season, Torii Hunter emerged as a star after robbing Barry Bonds of a home run in Milwaukee during the All-Star Game, Jacque Jones slugged a career-high 27 home runs,

Doug Mientkiewicz did Pilates at first base and Johan Santana finished his first season in the pitching rotation.

The Twins would go onto win the American League Central by 13 1/2 games with a 94-67 record.

In the playoffs, they took out Billy Beane’s infamous “Moneyball” Oakland Athletics team in the divisional round and then lost in five games to the eventual 2002 World Series champion Anaheim Angels.

And if it weren’t for those rally monkeys, 2002 could have been the Twins’ year.

The trip to the 2002 ALCS was the deepest the Twins had been in

the postseason since their World Series in 1991. It was also the deepest first-year manager Ron Gardenhire would take the club in the playoffs.

Sadly, Gardy’s 13-year tenure as the Minnesota Twins manager came to a close Monday after the team’s fourth-straight 90loss season.

Like many eras in sports, there’s always a sad ending, and this Twins’ season was no different. The writing was on the wall for Gardy and the Twins.

As one of the most beloved coaches and wellrespected human beings in Minnesota sports, it was impossible to dislike Gardy.

His workman-like attitude

came from nine years spent in and out of pro baseball for the Mets and Twins.

Gardy only played one full season in Major League Baseball during his career and called it quits after spending 1987 – the Twins’ first world championship season – in Triple-A. From there, he went into coaching. He started with the Twins organization and worked his way up, eventually becoming the third base coach for the Twins’ 1991 World Series team. He would remain at that position for 11 years under Tom Kelly until he replaced the Twins legend after the 2001 season.

Over the past 13 years, Twins fans would watch

Gardy put together amazing stretches of baseball.

From dramatic comebacks to winning the Central Division, to managing two Most Valuable Players and two Cy Young Award winners, Gardy’s 1,068 career wins will forever be a grand chapter in Twins history.

It was a disastrous end, but Twins fans shouldn’t remember Gardy for his five losing seasons or fourstraight 90-loss seasons.

Fans should remember him for his six division titles and his historic temper that would rage after a bad call.

Gardy was tossed 72 times during his career and always knew when to flush his face red and get up in an umpire’s

grill.

He was everything you would ever want in a manager.

That’s how I will remember him.

Gardy wasn’t only the manager for my favorite baseball team, but he was a part of my family every summer, and it certainly will be weird with the cameras zooming in on the face of the next Twins manager.

Like the 2002 Twins season, good things always come to an end. Even though I wish Gardy’s final years in Minnesota weren’t as forgettable, we still have a decade of memories to thank the skipper for.
