NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY | FOR THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE

Students Running

for State House:

Lucas Paper STORY BY BENJAMIN NORMAN & PHOTO BY JOSEPH RAVITS

lection Day is less than two weeks away, and North Dakota State has two Bison on the ballot this fall. Today, The Spectrum talks with Lucas Paper. Lucas Paper is a senior majoring in political science with a business administration minor. He helps people find their dream homes as a buyer’s agent’s assistant for Hatch Realty. Paper is also running for the North Dakota House of Representatives seat in District 21, up for vote Nov. 4. Paper is running with fellow NDSU senior and political science major Robert Lauf for the two contested seats held by Democratic incumbents Steve Zaiser and Kathy Hogan.

A HOMETOWN STUDENT FOR HOUSE

Involved in Delta Tau Delta, THON ND and other organizations at NDSU, Paper has kept his plate full as a student. “Every semester I tell myself ‘I’m going to be less busy; I’m going to be less busy,’ but it never happens,” Paper said. “It’s fueled by a lot of coffee and Red Bull, but it’s always fun.” Paper received the Republican nomination last spring with Lauf. The two will try to defeat incumbents Zaiser and Hogen, who have served District 21 for 12 and five years in the House, respectively. Balance is essential in maintaining school, work and campaigning efforts afloat, Paper said. “There’s 18 working hours in a day,” Paper said. He said he uses all of them to the last minute, campaigning continuously. Door knocking is a time-consuming, yet rewarding task, Paper said. He, Lauf and State Senate candidate Cindy Pfeiffer challenged one another to knock on every constituent door before the election. Paper said he and Lauf have knocked on 4,000 doors, some of which hold extra sentiment for Paper. Growing up in District 21, Paper said it is interesting to go and ask old neighbors for votes. The Fargo South High School graduate said sometimes people are surprised that he is running for office. Although politics do not run in Paper’s family, he said that it was his calling to serve.

THE PLATFORM

The campaign started last spring with one clear objective. “You have to just talk to as many people as you can,” Paper said. “I think it’s really important (to be running for public office). There are a few key things I’d like to do and advocate for, and I think I would be a very good person to do so.” He listed four topics on which he builds his platform: tax relief, flood protection, education and infrastructure. While North Dakota’s income taxes are low compared to other states, Paper thinks that the state should not altogether eliminate taxes. Rather, he said he is a proponent for “slow, marked deductions.” In terms of flood protection, Paper said he believes a permanent solution for Fargo is needed. He is in support of the current diversion plan causing strife in Minnesota and upstream.

Paper and Lauf are running together to give the pair more visibility, but that does not mean they are a package deal. Split tickets do occur during State House elections, stemming from the plurality vote that picks the top-two vote receivers, not the party ticket with the most votes. Paper said that he and Lauf disagree on some issues. “We come from two very different places with two very different perspectives,” Paper said. Paper grew up near one of the lowest income areas in Fargo, a neighborhood filled with new Americans, some of whom are Paper’s friends. PAPER | PAGE 3

DTD President Jasper Asplin serves up some knoephla for a fellow greek member, Gabe Zempi.

Delta Tau Delta Raises Money for Diabetes Foundation NDSU fraternity raises thousands at knoephla feed Pace Maier

Co-News Editor

The third annual knoephla feed hosted by the Delta Tau Delta fraternity raised $2,450 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on Monday at the University Lutheran Center. “This is a really neat cause, because (donations) help provide kids with (typeone-diabetes) pumps for penicillin, as well as any of the research that the foundation does,” Jasper Asplin, president of Delta Tau Delta and a senior majoring in accounting, said. Delta Tau Delta is a young fraternity at North Dakota State and has been on campus

for roughly four years now. “It’s awesome for (our) fraternity because I think a lot of publicity for fraternities and sororities is often bad,”Justin Warner, vice president of the fraternity and a senior majoring in architecture, said. “This is a way to show all the good fraternities do because we do a lot, and unfortunately that doesn’t make the news.” Members of the fraternity figured around 300-350 people showed up to experience the knoephla soup and and cold sandwich meal. “It’s kind of a stressful process, getting it all together, a lot of planning,” Warner said. “Knoephla ... takes a lot of prep and a lot of odd ingredients to make.” Asplin said he was really excited to see students and Fargo-Moorhead community members come out and show support for the foundation. “We had quite a few community members come out, which is really exciting, especially since we are a Greek organization.

It’s cool being the non-stereotypical Greek organization,” Asplin said. Before the knoephla event, Delta Tau Delta fraternity members went door-todoor around the F-M area asking people for donations. Within two to three hours, the fraternity raised over $900. “It’s really special just to see the FargoMoorhead community being so willing to donate to a good cause,” Asplin said. Michael Dietz, the Delta Tau Delta philanthropy coordinator and a junior majoring in pharmaceutical sciences, conducted most of the event. Other members of the fraternity helped Dietz guide the process in the right direction. “(Dietz) helped set up pretty much this whole (event), and some of our moms helped out as well, so we have to give them most of the credit for cooking the knoephla,” Asplin said. The fraternity rented out a kitchen in

downtown Fargo and Warner said they worked all Monday cutting vegetables, making sandwiches and preparing the meal for the NDSU students and members of the F-M community. Warner mentioned waiting for the soup to finish took the longest, totaling roughly five hours. The fraternity also helped make 500 sandwiches, which were not all eaten. Asplin and Warner thought the knoephla tasted amazing, and if they had to rate it on a scale of one to 10, it would definitely be an 11. Asplin said this event was exceptionally influential because whenever you can put a name to a cause or help out any individuals, it really means something special. “It’s good to get our name out there,” Warner said. “And it’s good to actually do something good for the community and give back.”

3D Printing to be the Third Revolution

Assistant professor gives presentation on 3D printing at NDSU Erin Anderson Staff Writer

Bashir Khoda, assistant professor in the department of industrial and manufacturing engineering, gave a presentation on 3D printing and its advancements, not only in

the industrial engineering world, but also at North Dakota State. The seminar was 4 p.m. Monday in the NDSU Main Library. The presentation informed attendees of the opportunities 3D printing can give today’s society. 3D printing uses a machine that melts different types of plastics and metals. Using these melted elements, it can print out a 3D model of an object. It works by building the object up from the ground in layers. “Additive manufacturing is the third industrial revolution,” Khoda said. Over the past few years, the Bison Microventure team, students majoring in

manufacturing engineering and biology, have been working on a 3D printing project to construct a jawbone. The team has successfully created a 3D print jaw and use it for different tests. “There are certain things that could not be possible without 3D printing. The variety of things that 3D printing will be used for will make it seem to be such a common technology in the future,” said Cooper Bierscheid, a senior majoring in manufacturing engineering. “Just like today’s smart phones, I could see every person owning their own personal 3D printer.”

3D printing is not limited to material objects. It is possible to 3D print sugar cookies and full houses, Khoda said. The full houses are on a much larger scale, however, not using the typical 3D printer. “The printer to build houses uses concrete and attaches to a rail and crane system, like what they use to move the containers in a shipyard,” Bierscheid said. Scientists, professors and students are excited about the future of 3D printing. With further testing and research, 3D printing could impact future society in unheralded ways.

Ole and Lena’s Pizzeria Expanding to West Fargo Area business embarks on new opportunity Delaney Freer

Contributing Writer

The “Hazel’s Peanut Butter Delight” from Ole and Lena’s Pizzeria in Fargo is not one’s normal pizza. It contains peanut butter, a four cheese blend, pepperoni and jalapenos. Uff-da!

This Norwegian-Italian restaurant, currently located within the West Acres Mall in Fargo, is expanding to West Fargo on Oct. 27. “We’re expanding into West Fargo because it’s still a growing and developing city,” said Lexi LeDoux, NDSU student and assistant manager of Ole and Lena’s Pizzeria. “What better fit for a new location than one that will grow right alongside with our brand?” Ever since owner Shane Balken opened the West Acres location in March

2012, he planned to expand to a full sit-down restaurant with a bar and delivery service but could never find the right timing — until now. Balken graduated from North Dakota State in 1995 with a bachelor’s in mass communication and public relations. He then joined the Air Force ROTC program as a public affairs officer for 12 years. From 2005 to 2007, Balken returned to NDSU to work on his master’s in marketing. Halfway through

his program, the Air Force approved him to leave the service. Balken spent the last half of his school year focusing on his business plan. His final project, instead of a thesis, was actually an extended pizza plan for Ole and Lena’s Pizzeria. Balken opened the first Ole and Lena’s Pizzeria in his hometown Rothsay, Minn., in October 2007. “In 2000, I was overseas in Germany trying to think of a good name (for the restaurant),” Balken

said. “I didn’t want to open up a pizza place and call it ‘Shane’s Place.’ I always liked quirky, goofy things, and my family is Scandinavian, so I thought of Ole and Lena.” Ole and Lena’s Pizzeria is anything but generic. It takes midwestern favorites, like hotdish and corn, and puts them on a hand-tossed pizza. “I’ve always liked pizza and fun combinations,” Balken said. “And it’s really about the community. If

you go into the Rothsay restaurant, it has information about local area history and sports all over the walls.” Ole and Lena’s Pizzeria also had a location in the Barnsville, Minn., Cenex store for four years before closing on Dec. 31, 2013 to pursue other opportunities. The West Fargo address is 3330 Cheyenne St. The phone number for take out and delivery orders and any store questions is 701-3568012.

PINK Hosts Campus Bra Launch Party BY CAMILLE FORLANO & PHOTOS BY BETH BURDOLSKI

PINK, the collegiate apparel and accessories offshoot of Victoria’s Secret, hosted a Campus Light-Lift Bra Launch Party Tuesday. The event was to celebrate the release of the new campus light-lift bra and was held at the PINK store in the West Acres Mall. Area college students were invited to take part in exclusive perks including raffles, bra-shaped cookies, personalized bra fittings and a scratch-off revealing discounts on merchandise.

PAPER | FROM FRONT “We are very similar and very excited and passionate about moving the community forward,” Paper said. The duo also shares an uncommon demographic that is a rarity in the capital: youth. “The demographics out in Bismarck – there’s not a lot of young people out there,” Paper said. “There are a lot of young people in the state. The median age for just our district is 30 years

old.” “We think with our passion and our unique perspective,” Paper continued, “we can bring that representation out to both young people and students.” Paper said he thinks their youthfulness will be an asset to their constituents and state. Opponents who believe their youthfulness will make them puppets to older members, Paper said, will be sadly mistaken. “I hope that they don’t

think that’s going to be an issue – that we will get pushed around,” Paper said. “We are willing to advocate for the district and what’s good for the district.”

Paluck is also a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority who promoted the event through a sorority competition and social media.

NDSU Never Looked so Good PINK launched a new collegiate collection featuring NDSU apparel Stephanie Christianson Contributing Writer

Victoria’s Secret PINK launched a new line of NDSU apparel, PINK NDState, and two NDSU students Taylor Paluck and Kayla Ryden, are backing the social media and branding of the new line. Paluck is a junior majoring in public relations and advertising, and Ryden

is a senior majoring in apparel, retail merchandising and design. PINK hired Paluck and Ryden to be campus representatives for NDSU. The university is among 99 different schools to receive a new line of collegiate apparel from the brand. The two students participated in a threeday brand training program in Columbus, Ohio to learn about the products and how to market to the campus. “We basically run social media for the brand to implement social media deals and events,” Paluck said. The collegiate collection for NDSU features everything from hoodies, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, tank tops and more. The

full collection is on display at West Acres Mall. PINK NDState will hold events, promotions and giveaways throughout the school year to educate college students about the new PINK campus collection and promote the brand. About once a month the group will host a party on campus or in the PINK store. The promotions will feature NDSU apparel and other PINK merchandise from the collegiate collection. The latest event was an in-store launch party for the new PINK Campus Light-Lift Bra, labeled PINK’s softest bra yet. Deals included gift cards, scratch offs, free yoga pants, coupon booklets, and more grand

prizes were given away. Paluck and Ryden are currently the only two NDSU campus representatives, but they plan to have a team of 10 by the end of the month. If you are interested in joining the team, email pinkndstate@gmail.com. “We are in the process of hiring our street team to help us hold these events and run our social media sites,” Paluck said. The social media sites will post offers from PINK and upcoming event dates. You can follow them on Facebook at PinkNDState and Twitter and Instagram @PinkNDState. They hope to reach over 1,000 likes on Facebook and over 500 followers on Twitter and Instagram.

Students can reach a point where they doubt their skills and their ability to ever find a job. However, if you merely look around and research businesses and corporations, you’ll find that not only are there multiple kinds of jobs in the market but also opportunities to even make your own job. Apparel and merchandising students were no different until a select few, joined by yours truly, made their way to the Twin Cities for some heavy-duty research. The apparel, design, hospitality and marketing department offer a course called a “Study Tour.” It allows students to take a look inside the apparel market, merchandising, design and even buying positions that define

the major as one which combines creativity and analytics. As students get older, we joke when younger majors come in and say right off they want to be a buyer, only because we know of the vast list of jobs and careers that extend past the apparel or retail merchandising degree. With the Study Tour in movement, our instructors, Linda Manikowske and Sara Sunderlin, speak with NDSU Alumni who work in select cities we travel to: Minneapolis, Chicago, New York City and Los Angeles to name a few. We find a way to tour their corporation, design studios or even show rooms to see what their job is like on a day-to-day basis.

Endless and unexpected opportunities arise on trips like this. For three days, and what felt like three weeks, we walked, talked and wore fashion that brought us to a new level in our majors and minors, giving us confidence and insight that after college could – and is going to – be better than we expected. With connections and relationships with Target, CJ Banks, Lululemon, Evereve (Formerly Hot Mama), Shop HQ, J.CREW, Nordicware and plenty others just in

Minneapolis and St. Paul alone, it shows students that there are opportunities after school and great ones at that. We are fortunate enough to have conversations and inspirational encouragement from these individuals who are important in the apparel community to push forward trends, colors, shapes and styles that we have potential careers and relations with now and after college. Our aspiration is Linda and Sara contacting us in five years to speak to their Study Tour groups with the sense of pride and confidence that we could help future students as we were helped once, too.

Four Free Apps Every NDSU Student Should Have Connor Dunn Features Editor

This year’s freshmen were about to start sixth grade when Apple released its first edition of the iPhone, along with the App Store. Fast-forward seven years and more than 70 percent of college students own a smartphone, according to a 2013 student mobile device survey conducted by Pearson, an education service company. The study also showed most of those students are using those smartphones for schoolwork from note taking to schedule management. NDSU students looking to make life a little easier should download these five free apps below.

No. 1: Bison Dining

All of the dining centers on campus have different hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They post a schedule of meals on their website for desktop users, but there is also an app for that. The Bison Dining app catalogues all of the soups, salads, starches, breads, vegetables, entrees, desserts and even the kinds of pizzas served from the wood fire grill in the West Dining Center. The schedule of meals can be seen for an entire week in advance and the app conveniently lists the general hours each dining center is open and the periods when the hot meals are available.

No. 2: Mobile

Blackboard

NDSU’s online course management system is available in a slick, mobilefriendly format that lists all of a student’s courses. From looking at posted notes to replying to discussion board posts, almost everything you can do on the desktop version of Blackboard is at your fingertips at any time. Blackboard’s mobile app can work through your phone’s notification system to send an alert when your teacher posts a grade for an assignment or an announcement for the class to read.

No. 3: Outlook Word App

Every NDSU student received a Outlook 365 school email during orientation, but the “my” was dropped from the end of everyone’s email address on Sept. 9. For most, they didn’t even notice the change, but personally, my Apple devices were not recognizing the address through the generic mail app. I took it to the IT help desk to find out the problem, which was complex. I decided the hassle to figure it out wasn’t even worth it when I found Microsoft Office’s Outlook Web App. From the design to even the color scheme, it looks exactly like the desktop version of OWA, but perfectly adapted for my iPhone. It lets me keep track of all of my NDSU emails and even has a tab for a calendar with alerts for specific events. To read the entire article go to ndsuspectrum.com

Fall is fabulous for many reasons: The sports are fun to watch, the weather is perfect and the trees look gorgeous. Other things that always seems to be associated with fall are pumpkins. Pumpkins are the poster-child for the autumn months. There are pumpkinscented candles, pumpkin spice lattes and, of course, pumpkins decorated for Halloween. Unfortunately, this is the first year my sister and I didn’t have an opportunity to devote an afternoon to gutting out, carving and displaying pumpkins together. I wasn’t going to celebrate Halloween without a pumpkin though, so I found a great no-carve pumpkin project to try out. I’m sure most of you have seen the melted crayon art that became popular within the last couple years. If you haven’t, it is what it sounds like. The artist uses a blow dryer to melt crayons onto a canvas in order to get a really cool effect. In this case, I did the same sort of thing for this project, but instead of using paper or a canvas, I used a pumpkin. Here’s how you can try it out: 1. Remove the wrappers from the crayons.

Surprisingly enough, this step was pretty time consuming. 2. Either use glue to stick the crayon to the top of the pumpkin or hold it there with either your hand or some type of grabbing utensil. We ended up using a scissors to hold the crayon in place as the blow dryer tended to get too hot for our fingers. 3. Use the blow dryer, set on high and hot, to melt the crayon down the side of the pumpkin. 4. Continue this all the way around the pumpkin with whatever colors you’d like. In this case, we did ours in rainbow order, but it’s up to you.

No-Carve Pumpkins

Helpful tips Here’s what I do have to warn you about: This is messy. Lay down plenty of newspaper before you start! Also, be aware that it takes a little time for the crayons to melt, but they do dry quickly on the pumpkin. For color that drips farther down the pumpkin, apply heat from the blow dryer for a longer period of time. As far as no-carve pumpkins go, this one was quick and cute — regardless of the mess.

Don’tcha Know?: Different Dakotas Would East and West Dakota be a better, cleaner cut? BY JACK DURA & GRAPHIC BY EMILY BEAMAN

It’s almost 125 years since North Dakota and South Dakota became states, and looking back at that moment in time, one question is clear to me: How were the borders decided for these new states? Examine any map and the Dakotas seem fairly even. They’re close in area and population, so why weren’t the two states made into one Greater Dakota in 1889? The answer lies in the distribution of Dakota Territory’s population at the time, as well as some “latitudinal resentment” over the capital (Bismarck versus Yankton). The Republic Party’s lust for extra representation was also partially responsible for admitting two states instead of one. Okay, that’s clear. But still it remains: Why do we have North Dakota and South Dakota? Currently, the sister states are divided at the seventh standard parallel and marked with hundreds of quartzite monoliths extending across the 360-mile border. It’s the only border of its kind in the U.S., and though many of the markers have fallen victim to vandalism and theft, hundreds still stand as silent sentinels between the two states. OK. So that makes enough sense for dividing Dakota Territory by way of north and south. But why not east and west? After all, the two states have the perfect natural border running them through them – the Missouri River. What would be the implications of an East Dakota and West Dakota? In precursory thought, it would make the border easier to discern and firmly separate two vastly different areas of land: the east’s extreme flatness and flood-prone rivers and the west’s rough, rugged buttes and badlands. Let’s explore the pros and cons of this. What if we were divided east and west? What would be the consequences (provided

history played out the same way)? For starters, East Dakota would have a dramatically larger population than West Dakota. Well over 1 million people would populate the eastern state, while well less than 500,000 would be in the western half. That’s great news for East Dakota, as this would make the state the 40th-most populated. It would claim two seats in the

U.S. House of Representatives and have four electoral votes, more than either Dakota has now. Major cities like Grand Forks, Minot, Williston, Bismarck, Fargo, Sioux Falls, Pierre, Brookings and Watertown would dot the map of East Dakota. As for West Dakota, it would have Dickinson, Mandan, Rapid City, the attraction of Mount Rushmore and

Death threats made over portrayal of women in video games Nathan Arel

Contributing Writer

Video games have been slowly sinking their way into popular culture for several years now, and as an avid gamer, this excites me — assuming better games will spawn from the simple fact more people are buying them. As a pristine example of their impact, video game news has recently made front page of the New York Times. But did it make the front page because of societal impact or artistic scope? No. It made the front page because of death threats. Anita Sarkeesian is a well-known feminist who especially discusses the objectification of women in video games. Obviously,

some of the many male gamers in the world do not approve of this. Surprisingly, some of the many male gamers in the world hate this so much they are threatening to rape and murder Sarkeesian, presumably for trying to take away their “Grand Theft Auto V lap dances.” These threats intensified to the point where a man promised to attend Sarkeesian’s speech at Utah State and enact “the deadliest school shooting in American History.” At the point where people are willing to murder each other because of $60 worth of virtual reality, the country has gone about 10 steps too far. In fact, I do not understand why men become so militantly upset about feminism in general. One of the most basic core beliefs in American culture is equality for all races, sexes and creeds, and it is a simple fact that women are not ranked equally with men. For a movement such as feminism not to exist with the current state of our culture is counterintuitive. Of course, I am aware that many people

believe feminism is where prude, angry women get together in knitting circles and plan the downfall of the male sex. This group does not represent the majority of feminists in the world and I would assume there are less of these kinds of feminists than there are members of the Ku Klux Klan — who, by the way, number around one 100,000th of a percent of the American population. Beyond feminist phobias, I think society has learned enough from the last century to know when you begin to feel murdering innocent people is the only way to follow your beliefs, your beliefs are wrong. If anyone disagrees with this statement, I hear ISIS recruitment websites are not hard to find. On the other hand, Sarkeesian also goes too far at times. For the record, I am still siding myself with the woman who has not sent death threats, but I also do not want to advocate for one-sided arguments. When I heard about the Utah State situation I decided to watch one of Sarkeesian’s “Tropes vs. Wom-

Popular APP-eal: Yik Yak Anonymous social media app gains huge popularity Caleb Werness Opinion Editor

Additionally, the app uses GPS location to find groups one might fit into nearby. Users can upvote or downvote posts as they see fit. Once a post has received five downvotes it is permanently deleted. The app was introduced last year. Since then, its success has been steadily on the rise. In April 2014, the company had secured $1.5 million in investments. Since June 2014 of this year, that number has risen to $10 million.

the majority of western North Dakota’s oil boom in crazy McKenzie County. This new distribution of cities also brings into question what the new capitals would be. I predict Dickinson or Rapid City for West Dakota, but East Dakota’s a tossup. Bismarck would be a border town, and to me, it looks like quaint little Jamestown or even cute Edgeley would be the capital of the eastern-sliced state. East Dakota would have the entirety of the current CanadaNorth Dakota border like North Dakota does today. It would also take up a greater landmass (over 60 percent of the today’s two Dakotas) and claim 17 of the 21 public colleges and universities between North and South Dakota. West Dakota, meanwhile, would scoop up all of the present-day Dakotas’ national parks, leaving East Dakota as the only state in America without one. The pros and cons continue, but that’s what springs to my mind about an East and West Dakota. It’s definitely not as even a split as today’s Dakotas, and if you look at the extreme ends of the possible states, they tread too far to be truly east and west in name. It’s fun to ponder what could have happened if Dakota Territory had been divided differently, but we’ve come too far to be redesigned, leaving the idea of East and West Dakota a classic scenario of what might have been.

Her video had many strong points about the video game industry’s history of objectification of women, but I noticed in many of her examples, which used games that I know well, her arguments were made completely out of context. I also noticed her entire argument did not appear to be based on women’s equality but on the complete eradication of sexual representation in video games. From an artistic viewpoint, removing things such as brothels and strip clubs from a medium that prides itself on perfecting the art of simulating the natural world seems almost a loss ... almost. But regardless of what any feminist says, or what either side of the argument may be, I hope to see a future where innocent people do not have to fear for their lives because somebody tried to take virtual nudity away.

THE SPECTRUM | OPINION | THURSDAY, OCT. 23, 2014

Hitting a Roadblock music has come a long way. Over the centuries, music has been steadily evolving in complexity and composition. The increase in technology has changed the sound and how we produce it. Music seems to be perpetually changing for the better as time goes on. But we have hit a roadblock. The last three years has spawned “hit” music that has no business being on the radio. The issue seems to be how music today has exchanged artistic lyrics and melodies for overplayed

choruses and bass lines. Instead of striving for imaginative lyrics, the musicians of today have settled for bland repetitive choruses that you can memorize after one listen. Just look at so many of the songs that have become popular: “Turn Down For What” and “Selfie” are perfect examples. Say one catchy line and you have a “hit” song. Art is subjective, but there has to be a line somewhere. Songs of the past were focused on the power and beauty of love; sex was an

implication, but it was rarely placed in the open. Now the overplayed hit songs on the radio are all about sex. The lyrics do not even creatively infer the act anymore; it’s just there for all to see. I have seen 11-year-old kids singing Nicki Manaj songs – songs that have very dirty implications. It is not comforting hearing children singing out sexually explicit song lyrics that they don’t understand because they constantly hear them on the radio. The sound of music used

to be important. Unique rhythms and beats should be the cornerstone of a good song. Today, it has become all about that bass, ‘bout that bass, no treble. Mac Books and computer programs have replaced the beauty of instruments. How long before all it takes to create hit music is static and white noise? All sophistication and musical talent seems to have been removed from the popular scene. Why are people eating this up? I may seem like a pessimistic hipster, but I

stand by what I say. Everyone has their own preferences, which is why there are so many types of music. All I would like to see is the effort being put back into music to make it lasting and worthwhile. The “artists” of today seem only concerned with churning out as much as they can as quickly as they can to make as much money as they can. Music should never be about quantity; true music is about quality.

Graham and Sjodin Cases Frighteningly Similar Denise Luttio

Contributing Writer

If you have been following national news in the last month, you have almost undoubtedly heard about Hannah Graham, the University of Virginia student who went missing Sept. 13. Some sad news in the case, as it seems, her remains have been found. I can’t help but be reminded of the 2003 disappearance of Dru Sjodin, the University of North Dakota student who went missing in Nov. 2003 and was later found dead. Her family, friends and community lived in an unknown state for months as she wasn’t found until April.

I was living in the women’s dorm South Weible at the time, and I had never been so scared. Even though it happened in Grand Forks, my small town mentality took over, and I thought if it could happen in Grand Forks, it could happen in Fargo. My aunt bought my female cousins and I pepper spray, which I kept on my keychain. My friends and I devised a buddy system. The case was all anyone could talk about for most of my freshman year, and it was impossible to forget. This was even before the days of smartphones and Facebook. Police arrested Alfonso Rodriguez, Jr. a week later in connection with her disappearance. He was a priorly-convicted, level 3 sex offender, which means

“Knowing they are already at a higher risk to reoffend, why isn’t there more emphasis on rehabilitation for level 3’s after they are released?”

authorities knew upon his release that he was already at higher risk to reoffend, yet he was still released. Even though they had a suspect fairly early on, Sjodin hadn’t been found and we were still scared. Just like in the Sjodin case, authorities made a quick arrest in connection to the Graham disappearance. The suspect in the Graham case, Jesse Leroy Matthew, Jr., is also a suspect in a 2009 disappearance and murder of another female student. Like Rodriguez Jr., he was accused of rape in

Something needs to be done about these level 3’s who are so likely to reoffend. Maybe locking them up and throwing away the key isn’t such a bad idea so they never have the chance to prove authorities right that they will reoffend. I want my freshman year back. Sjodin’s and Graham’s families want their daughters back. Lives were stolen, our trust was shattered and people lived in fear.

Dru’s Law changed the name of the National Sex Offender Public Registry to the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website, which provides information to the public on the whereabouts of registered sex offenders regardless of state boundaries among other things. This was a step in the

right direction, but I don’t think it does enough. Maybe it’s time we reexamine our policies on sex offenders. Knowing they are already at a higher risk to reoffend, why isn’t there more emphasis on rehabilitation for level 3’s after they are released? Isn’t there a better way to keep track of them if they are going to be released into public? Even though they are required to notify police of their whereabouts, some of them don’t. What do we do then? I am sad to hear these cases keep coming up, and they usually aren’t totally unique. I want to know what else we can do to keep these individuals in check. It seems we want to keep track of criminals who committed lesser crimes, but the ones

Audrey (Callie Shroer) and Seymour (Christopher Taylor) share a moment over Audrey II, Seymour’s villainous, man-eating plant.

Student Effort Makes Man-Eating Plant, Love Story of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Happen Jack Dura A&E Editor

Halloween is right around the corner, and Theatre NDSU has been cooking up the perfect production for the time of year. It’s “Little Shop of Horrors,” the OffBroadway dark comedy musical all about a boy, a girl and a plant that eats people. Set on Skid Row in the ‘60s, the show follows florist assistant Seymour and his crush with his coworker Audrey. Shopowner Mr. Mushnik is close to closing up the floristry for good until Seymour is able to bring in business. “He discovers this plant, and he brings it into the shop, and then all of a sudden, people start to come in,” director Hardy Koenig said. “They want to see this weird plant, and all of a sudden, things start to pop.” The plant, Audrey II, has a taste for human blood, and after suckling his fingertips and growing bigger and bigger, Seymour sees he’s got a problem on his hands. Audrey II starts to talk to him and persuades him to kill people to satisfy the plant’s insatiable appetite.

While this seems fairly first as far as how to create this action.

Editor’s Choice: A Taste of Every Art Photography, food, theater and music represented well this weekend Jack Dura A&E Editor

Fargo-Moorhead offers something for everyone in its arts scene. Whether you see it, hear it or eat it, art is booming, especially in downtown Fargo and uptown Moorhead. Find yourself at any of these venues and events this weekend for a sampling of every art, from photography to food.

Thursday: “Oil in the Fields” at the Rourke Art Museum German photographer Andy Scholz recently photographed the scenes and landscapes of oil country in western North Dakota, and now his work is on display at Moorhead’s Rourke Art Museum. Come see

the objective, unbiased images you won’t find in the media, photos that tell the truth of the boom and its effects. Admission is $3 for students, so check out this one-of-a-kind exhibition during the Rourke’s hours of 1-5 p.m.

Friday: Monte’s Downtown

It may be a little spendy, but Monte’s Downtown at 220 Broadway is a fine example of fine dining. Make a date for a night at an eatery you won’t soon forget. The lobster pot pie is a popular must, and you can’t go wrong with the grilled bison strip steak with apple cheddar bread pudding. Stick around for dessert, and try the warm chocolate chip cookies with vanilla gelato and chocolate sauce, a perfect capper to a grand meal. Monte’s is a pricier outing for students, but well worth the dough if you choose to go.

The 1975 cult classic sees its stage adaptation with “The Rocky Horror Show” put on by Music Theatre Fargo-Moorhead. Over 20 cast members bring this kooky, spooky story to life in the style of a rock and

Red River Valley Fairgrounds hosts biannual antique sale

Crying Hills Antiques Takes to Fargo, Again

Tessa Beck Staff Writer

When it comes to finding the perfect furniture or decorative piece for your living spaces, sometimes new is not always better. Just ask any devoted antique hunter. Character is found in

the specialized, quality of items dating back to the past. For weathered antiquing veterans, as well as the rookie treasure hunters, Crying Hills Antiques will be hosting its biannual sale Saturday and Sunday at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds. Debra Erickson, office administrator for the Fairgrounds offices, said Crying Hills Antiques rents out the Hartl Ag Building on the grounds twice a year, in April and October for the shows. The event is open to the public, with admission

prices set at $2 on Saturday and free on Sunday. The sale is set up in a vendor-type style, contrary to most antiquing situations where an auctioneer is involved. A variety of items are available for purchase, including antique rugs, signed and unsigned jewelry, pottery and vintage clothing to name only a small portion of the objects up for purchase. Prices range from $1 to several thousands depending on the product. A wide price range is essential in drawing a

varied crowd with different interests. Deborah Holter, hailing from Mandan, N.D., is the owner and event coordinator for Crying Hills Antiques. She typically associates with four or more different vendors, depending on the specific show — both in-state and out-of-state sellers are included. “We have dealers from many states and who specialize in different things,” she said. “Last year we had a couple from Missouri come to Fargo to

be part of my show. We give informal appraisals and do buy from the public.” For the past eight years, the sale finds itself in Fargo and Bismarck twice a year. Whether one is brand new to the antiquing world, or a regular on the auction scene, Crying Hills Antique show is potentially the best place to hunt for specialty items in Fargo this upcoming weekend.

Minnesota Lutenist to Share Renaissance-Era Sounds Phil Rukavina brings 16th century to life through lute, guitar, vihuela and visuals BY JACK DURA & PHOTO COURESY OF PHIL RUKAVINA

Renaissance music and instruments get a spotlight and showcase this Friday night as lutenist Phil Rukavina of St. Paul, Minn., visits NDSU Performing Arts for a concert and master class. A classical guitar graduate from the North Carolina Schools of the Arts, Rukavina hooked onto the lute after being introduced to it by a friend who knew of his affinity for Renaissance music. From there, he became a national and international performer on lute and viheula, and the rest is history. His visit to NDSU will be marked with a concert showcasing various tunes of the Renaissance era. “In the Renaissance, the highest kind of music was vocal music, and they called

Indeed it is, as what other show has inspired legions of fans to don fishnets and whiteytighties at midnight showings of the movie?

Rocking ‘Rocky Horror’ at Island Park

Music Theatre FargoMoorhead has just what the doctor ordered for this time of year: “The Rocky Horror Show,” the cult classic film’s stage adaptation that sweeps across The Stage at Island Park these next two weekends. Bringing together 20 performers onstage for the time-warpin’ good time, “Rocky Horror” sees a nice mix of old and new with this show as MTFM has added its own touch to this 40-year-old story. “We’re definitely not doing a cookiecutter cut of the movie,” director Christopher Damlo said. “Essentially, our concept is it’s going to be a rock and roll show, like a real rock and roll floor show.” With plenty of music to make this happen (who doesn’t like “Time Warp” or “Sweet Transvestite?”), MTFM adds its own touch to costumes stylized after rock ‘n’ rollers from the ‘70s onwards. It’s a fresh take on some old gold that has had generations of followers. “There’s gonna be some recognizable stuff, some new stuff and hopefully people really appreciate that,” Damlo said. To the pleasure of “Rocky Horror” diehards, MTFM has scheduled three midnight showings of the musical, running around before, after and on Halloween.

The last two times North Dakota State played South Dakota, the Bison have pitched shutouts. But NDSU head coach Chris Klieman said his team has many new faces, so it can’t get hung up on past trends. For him, the Bison start every week with a 0-0 record — a clean slate.

It’ll be a different environment. It will be loud,” Klieman said. “It’s a brand new year and a new game, that’s for sure.” The Bison (7-0, 3-0 MVFC) defense has given up an average of 10 points per game in the last three matchups since starting its MVFC schedule. In the first conference game, NDSU escaped with a 17-10 win over Western Illinois. Klieman said his team warmed up for that game with little energy, but earning

Normally known for its slow starts, NDSU began its game last week against No. 23 Indiana State with a 13-point first quarter. That period propelled the Bison to a strong 34-17 finish. “We were really pleased with that first quarter, getting 13 points off the bat,” Klieman said. “We needed to start fast.” Klieman said he was also happy with how his team started out the second half. “We needed to take momentum back,” Klieman said. “I really was pleased with our energy level to start the first half, and obviously, the second half.” Against USD (2-5, 0-3), NDSU might have to turn to a silent count to start plays on offense because the stadium is a 10,000-capacity dome. “I know they’re going to be ready for this game,” Klieman said. “I know it’s going to

be a challenge.” USD quarterback Kevin Earl, who has missed a few games due to injury, has averaged 187 passing yards per game. Six players have averaged double-digit receiving yards per contest. “They have a nice complement of wide receivers,” Klieman said. “They’re playing well up front. They also have a good offensive line.” The Coyotes, who feature a defense with three down linemen and four linebackers, have given up 32.3 points and 469 yards per game. The Bison have played well against a 3-4 defense this season, Klieman said, so the kind of defense opponents run doesn’t make much of an impact. “As much as we’re not seeing it in our league, it shouldn’t be a factor,” Klieman said. “If we can knock them down on three down (lineman) or four, we’re doing OK.”

of 25 minutes and 10 seconds. The time was DeGree’s second-fastest in an 8k course and his first individual collegiate title in cross country. Senior Marty Joyce took third with a time of 25:22.5. Senior Brett Kelly took fourth at 25:27.2. Junior Brendan Skime took fifth overall with a time of 25:33.2. Redshirt freshman Brant Gilbertson took sixth at 25:42.8. The title marks the second-straight championship for the Bison, preceded by the South Dakota State Classic on Oct. 4. The team is ranked 13th in the Midwest Region by the United State Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Aug. 29. Sophomore Taylor Janssen took third at 18:05.5. Junior Paige Stratioti took fourth at 18:07.4. Junior Ashley Heinze took seventh at 18:24.9, and sophomore Tarin Lachowitzer took eighth at 18:26.3. Both men’s and women’s cross country teams will be back in action Nov. 1 to host the Summit League Cross Country Championships at the Rose Creek Golf Course in Fargo.

Women’s cross country

The NDSU women’s cross country team captured their third-straight UND Ron Pynn Invitational title Saturday in Grand Forks. Sophomore Erin Teschuk won the 5-kilometer course with a personal-best time of 17:19.3, which marks the third-fastest 5k run in NDSU cross country history. The time also marks Teschuk’s second title of the season, the first coming from the Bison Open

NDSU volleyball fell to Fort Wayne Saturday 3-1 with set scores of 20-25, 25-18, 25-20, and 25-14. Junior outside hitter Jenni Fassbender had 21 kills for the Bison (8-14, 2-6 Summit League). The sophomore outside hitter had eight kills and sophomore middle blocker Emily Miron had eight kills and four blocks. Freshman Brianna Rasmusson had 22 assists, and sophomore libero Emily Milligan had 16 digs. The team bounced back Sunday and

The Bison offense has enjoyed a spark since the reemergence of wide receiver Zach Vraa. Vraa, who caught 15 touchdown passes last season, finally caught a scoring pass this year on a 48-yard TD bomb from Carson Wentz to put the Bison up 20-0 against ISU. Klieman said Wentz needs to continue to throw it up to Vraa, whom he trusts to grab the pass even when a defender is on him. “We made a conscious effort of making sure Carson knew to give him some 50-50 balls,” Klieman said. “(Wentz should) give him an opportunity to go up and battle that defensive back.” Klieman said missed opportunities like fumbles and dropped passes have been disappointing, which is why it will be a point of emphasis in practice this week. The Bison dropped four passes in the first half against ISU, including one in the endzone. NDSU also fumbled the ball twice against the Sycamores, including one that was returned for a 72-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. “The drops are a little more concerning,” Klieman said. “But you can’t emphasize it so much that the kids start to think about it too much.” The Bison hope to improve on those mistakes before taking on another MVFC team. “We have our hands full,” Klieman said. “They’ll be ready to play the Bison.”

picked up a win against Valparaiso 3-2 with set scores of 25-20, 16-25, 25-20, 21-25 and 15-13. Fassbender hit 22 kills in the matchup, and Miron had 16 kills and nine blocks. Milligan had 25 digs, and sophomore setter Monica Claxton had 34 assists. The Bison will take the court again 7 p.m. Friday against Nebraska-Omaha at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse in Fargo.

Soccer NDSU took home another shutout Sunday against IPFW with a 1-0 victory in Fort Wayne, Ind. Anisha Kinnarath scored the lone goal in the 28th minute from 10 yards out, marking her second goal of the season. IPFW outshot NDSU (7-6-2, 3-1-2 Summit League) 18-11 and had eight corner kicks compared to NDSU’s four. The Bison will play again at 7 p.m. on Friday at Dacotah Field in Fargo against Denver.

Interim Head Coach Stevie Keller Takes the Reins of NDSU Cross Country Teschuk, Jansssen look to continue success before conference championship BY PACE MAIER & PHOTO BY JOSEPH RAVITS

The North Dakota State women’s cross country runners have praise for Stevie Keller, who was recently named interim head coach. Sophomore Erin Teschuk said Keller is a great leader, a well-respected coach and is dedicated to the sport. It doesn’t hurt Keller is coaching two of the top sophomore athletes in the Summit League, with Teschuk and sophomore Taylor Janssen on the team. “They have been having a great season,” Keller said. “(Teschuk) is really having a breakthrough year, and I’m excited to see her compete this week, at the conference championships and beyond that. “(Janssen) has really stepped up as a sophomore. That’s what we need: girls that can continue to improve.” Teschuk broke the NDSU 6-kilometer record at the 2014 Stanford Invitational with a time of 21:01. “I didn’t even know there was a record … I was kind of focused on getting a good spot and then trying to move up throughout the race,” Teschuk said. “It gives you confidence in everything like that going into other races, (but) you have to go back to being focused.” Janssen is stepping in as

Ali Hitt pushes forward to break her personal record in Bison Open women’s cross country meet.

NDSU’s second-best runner behind Teschuk and needs to continue to race at a high level to keep the success rolling. “I want us to win the conference obviously, and I want us to do really good,” Janssen said about where she wants the team to be at the end of the year.

Keller has been around this program for 14 years and understands the ins and outs of the sport, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Teschuk and Janssen. With Keller as an assistant coach, the Bison have won three straight conference titles. Ryun Godfrey accepted a position at Kansas State

about a month ago, and Keller, who was a long-time assistant, took over. Keller said with his experience and loyalty to NDSU, he should have the upper hand when the athletic department is ready to look for a permanent head coach. “I think it puts me in a good position,” Keller said.

The cross country team is halfway through the season. Keller said he is impressed with the efforts of his runners so far. “So far things have gone pretty well,” Keller said. “We have had a few kids who have been injured, some season-ending injuries and some kids that are coming

back here in the next couple weeks getting ready for the conference.” The Summit League Championship, scheduled for Nov. 1, is two weeks away. With that in mind, Keller said improvements are always key to a successful season. “I think improvements for the gals on a day-today basis is taking care of their bodies,” Keller said. “Continuing to get the mileage in and just train smart.” This past weekend, Teschuk won the University of North Dakota Pynn Invitational and helped her team win the team championship for the thirdconsecutive season. Her final time in completed the 5-kilometer course was a personal-best 17:19.3, which was good enough for the third-fastest 5k in NDSU women’s cross country history. Their next event will be at the Summit League Championship at Rose Creek Golf Course in Fargo. “We want to be defending the conference title,” Keller said. “Winning the triple crown the last three years puts a big target on our back.”

Even with No. 1 Ranking, Bison Exceed Expectations NDSU performing better than some thought

T h e m i g h t y Bison are 7-0, on a 31-game winning streak and ranked No. 1 in both Football Championship Subdivision polls. The always-growing BisoNation fan base is feeling invincible, showing wild support by selling out the Fargodome and wearing proper colors depending on the type of game. They’ve also gone 4-for-4 this year on blueout fourth quarters. The blue obviously refers to the Fargodome seats deserted with a large Bison lead on the scoreboard. You know, just another casual year for the North Dakota State football team and its fans.

Everyone is confident. And they should be. While the players obviously won’t say it, the Bison have turned from a dynasty in the making to a dynasty that doesn’t look to be pumping its breaks anytime soon. What the players will say, though, is that they were confident this type of success wouldn’t stop, even with 24 seniors graduating last season. But how the Bison have been performing this year may be exceeding the expectations of everyone outside the program. NDSU entered this season on a 24-game winning streak. If you took a poll in August and asked Bison fans if they thought the streak would be intact seven games into the season, the vote would probably be

“But for now, the winning streak continues to build and the dynasty continues its special run. And the most special part is the Bison are doing it while pushing any doubts to the side and exceeding expectations.”

split 50/50. If you asked FCS fans, the split would probably look more like 2o percent yes to 80 percent no. Where there was confidence NDSU had the personnel to replace 24 seniors, there was worry the new coaching staff would take a few games to gel. Where there was confidence Carson Wentz would do just fine replacing all-world quarterback Brock Jensen, there was worry

the offensive line was too young and inexperienced to protect him. Where there was confidence the three linebackers are the best group in the FCS, there was worry the defensive line depth was thin and less explosive. You get the point. Doubts and worries lingered over this Bison program — something they didn’t have to deal with the previous two years. Anyone

with FCS knowledge knew NDSU would be good this year. But being 7-0 and beating-opponents-by-anaverage-32.4-to-9.7 good? Probably not. Even the most diehard Bison fan who sits on Bisonville during work has to be a little surprised. The first half last week against No. 22 Indiana State may have been the most dominant first 30 minutes against a quality team seen by NDSU fans. That performance is making it hard to find a possible loss for NDSU’s five remaining regular season games. The typical prediction for the Bison entering this year was a 10-2 or 11-1 record. But NDSU has exceeded a lot of people’s expectations thus far and looks like a team capable of finishing

undefeated. The Missouri Valley Football Conference schedule is unforgiving, though, and a letdown game is probable at least once per season. Ultimately, the winning streak is irrelevant compared to a conference and national championship. One regular season loss puts more pressure on undefeated Illinois State but doesn’t boot NDSU out of the conference title race. A loss certainly shouldn’t boot the Bison out of a No. 1 or 2 seed in the playoffs. But for now, the winning streak continues to build and the dynasty continues its special run. And the most special part is the Bison are doing it while pushing any doubts to the side and exceeding expectations.

Why Should Students Go to Bison Football Games? Attitude of NDSU students, fans has changed over the years BY JOE KERLIN

L a s t S a t u r d a y, I made the rare decision to sit in the press box during the North Dakota State football game. It’s not that I don’t like sitting up there or that I don’t enjoy being a parttime media member. My decision to not sit up there most game days is because it’s my last semester at NDSU, and I’d rather be in the middle of the chaos that’s usually created within the student section. But what I saw in the student section last Saturday was more than empty blue seats; it was spoiled-fan syndrome coming fullcircle. Over the past three-

plus years, students’ attitudes have changed at NDSU. In 2011, student attendance increased at an astronomical rate thanks to a late postseason run the year before in 2010. In 2012, the student ticket retrieval server crashed, and in 2013, students started leaving early after the Bison held a healthy, three-score lead. This year, with expectations still high for the football team and the team exceeding those expectations, students have stopped caring and have seemingly become bored at football games. But why the utter lack of appreciation? The average NDSU student was born anywhere from 1992-96. They don’t remember the veer with Jeff Bentrim, Chris Simdorn,

“But what I saw in the student section last Saturday was more than empty blue seats; it was spoiled-fan syndrome coming full-circle.”

Tony Satter or Arden Beachy.Heck, those fans could think those players made up a law firm or a Madison Avenue advertising agency for all they know. The Bison tradition and history doesn’t resonate like it used to for fans sitting in the southwest corner of the Fargodome. The students don’t remember Rocky Hager, let alone Bob Babich. They’re probably unaware of the 3-8 season in 2009, too. Like the rich kid in high

school, NDSU students are spoiled, but I can’t blame them. This is what happens when your school’s football team is on a historic fouryear run, and today’s students weren’t enrolled the last time the Bison weren’t No. 1 in the country. There was never a lull for them to appreciate the precious wins the Bison take home with them every Saturday. It’s not enough the Bison are outscoring opponents 152-37 at home.

Where’s the entertainment in that? You can also throw in the fact going to a Bison football game has always been steered toward the alumni, the big tailgating rigs and NDSU Team Makers. You know what the students get pregame? A possible cameo from head coach Chris Klieman handing out a couple dozen doughnuts. Awesome! Can’t wait! Hope Chris sanitized those hands! This isn’t an athletic department deficiency. They’re trying, and I get it. A lack of participation from student organizations could be the problem. When’s the last time you saw a Greek flag fly in the West Parking Lot that didn’t come from an alumni who

attended class in the ‘80s? When’s the last time any student organization has been able to gather students in the general admission tailgating lot period? The lack of focus for home football games today is because winning has become an expectation from students. NDSU and its organizations can’t simply rely on an elite football team to drive students to the games or to keep them in their seats. The students need more incentive to spend a good chunk of their Saturdays at the Fargodome. Give them that incentive and it becomes more than a football game. It becomes the can’t-miss party of the semester every Saturday.
