NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY | FOR THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE

Student Calls for Background Check of Guest Speakers Student government responds to questions of hate speech Samuel Caspers Co-News Editor

“(I)t got very scary and even more offensive,” North Dakota State student and president of the College Democrats organization William Fleck wrote in a letter to the editor published in the Forum this week.

Fleck was referring to what a speaker — chief executive officer of the Institute on the Constitution and ordained minister Jake MacAulay — that NDSU’s Lutheran Student Fellowship booked had to say about transgender people.

According to Fleck’s letter, he attended the event because a hometown friend committed suicide a week ago after being scrutinized, dehumanized and bullied for years and was curious about what a controversial speaker like MacAulay had to say.

Fleck’s friend was transgender.

MacAulay made claims in his speech that it should be illegal for LGBT people to live as themselves. MacAulay also defended slavery and tried discrediting people who stifle speech promoting sexism, homophobia and Islamophobia according to Fleck’s letter.

“This man was not a Christian, but an extremist,” Fleck wrote.

Until 2014, MacAu-

Minister Speaks About Christianity and American Government Jake MacAulay speaks on religious freedom and the Constitution Dan Ukkelberg Staff Writer

“There is a culture war against Christianity,” Jake MacAulay, ordained minister and chief executive officer of the Institute on the Constitution, said.

This was a theme that was represented throughout the speech he gave titled, “Religious Freedom and the Constitution,” Oct. 17 in the Memorial Union. Another theme present was that he believed the Constitution was written for a Christian nation.

“There is a God. ‘That all men are created equal.’

If they are created then there must be a creator. So, there is a God. Our founding fathers all believed that.

Every single one of them,” MacAulay said.

He continued with other reasons why he believed that the Constitution was written with God in mind. “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal,” MacAulay quoted from the Constitution. “Are they born equal or created equal? There’s a big difference there. Does the birth canal convey personhood?”

He said that he believed that there is a big difference between being born equal and being created equal and how he thought being born did not have anything to do with being human. MacAulay said it should be illegal to take life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness away from humans in America.

“The law of nature, and

nature’s God,” MacAulay said. “Would it be love to prevent a whole nation of people from creating laws that are contrary to the law of nature and nature is God? That would be love. That would be genuine concern.”

In this portion of the speech, MacAulay was commentating on adultery, abortion, homosexuality, speech and expression — all words that he had on a PowerPoint presentation at the time titled “Rights?”

MacAulay also brought to attention gun rights.

“We had a crazed maniac shoot a whole bunch of people in Nevada recently.

Was that the guns fault? Of course not. It was a selfgovernment. His own selfgovernment broke down.

He did not govern himself,

therefore he did something drastic,” MacAulay said.

MacAulay also presented the idea of the four walls of government. MacAulay believes the country should run as a room having four walls representing each type of government — self, family, civil and church —with God being the ceiling. He said that all of the governments are separated from one another, because they are on separate walls, but none of them are detached from God. “Who should be in charge of education?” MacAulay said. “I’ll tell you who. Which wall on here has children? Does the state have children? The state’s never even been pregnant.

Family takes care of education because they have

children.” After saying this, MacAulay mentioned that it was mandatory in Washington D.C. public schools to study the Bible and hymns because they were believed to be educational.

“Society would be great if individuals were self-governed, families knew how to stay together and raise their kids and the church would do its job,” MacAulay said.

He also talked about his fourth wall saying that the only good the civil government should be doing is securing the border and administer the justice system to protect the church, family and individuals.

MacAulay believes that the government has started climbing onto the ceiling, that it has started to tell preachers what they can and

cannot preach, telling families and family businesses who they can and cannot serve and what individuals can do in their spare time and with private property.

“Democracy is a pagan view of government. Because it just puts the people in charge of government, so the people become the God instead of your creator,” MacAulay said. After these statements, he opened up the floor for questions.

MacAulay said that he was hoping that there would be a whole back wall of people that disagree with him because he likes that. He said when he can’t find people that disagree with him, he goes looking for them.

Fall of ISIS Capital The ‘Battle for Raqqa’ ends in victory for Syrian Democratic Forces Quinn Garrick Staff Writer

U.S.-backed forces declared “total liberation” in Syria on Friday as they recaptured Raqqa, which served as the de facto capital of ISIS for more than three years. The victory that put an end to ISIS’s presence deals a blow to the group’s “most symbolically important stronghold.”

Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesperson Talo Silo claimed a “historic victory,” at a ceremony to celebrate the capture of the city and said the group suffered a brutal defeat.

Silo and the ceremony paid tribute to

those killed and injured during the 130day fight to reclaim the city, as well as recognizing the Syrian factions that played a role in ousting the extremist group.

Silo said that military operations were halted and forces were performing a sweep of the city searching for explosive devices and sleeping cells of ISIS forces. After the clearing of the city is complete and the SDF can guarantee the protection of the city and province, control will be handed over to civilian leaders.

“The future of Raqqa will be decided by its people,” Silo said, urging the international community to support their rebuilding efforts and recognize the local democratic government to be installed.

The SDF held the ceremony in the devastated local soccer stadium where the last active pockets of ISIS fighters were defeated, adding insult to injury as they celebrated the victory.

Local officials, dignitaries and tribal chiefs from Raqqa and neighboring towns and cities were among those in attendance, alongside members of the Syrian Democratic Council, which is tasked with helping to rebuild the city.

As the SDF clears and sweeps the city in ruins, it is still unclear whether some Islamic State pockets remain, but the battle is being portrayed as over. Fighters and civilians took to the streets to celebrate and rejoice in the capture of the city. After four months of

fighting, ISIS had lost its political capital.

Raqqa, captured in 2014 by Islamic State forces, was hailed as the center of operations including bureaucratic infrastructure and foreign attacks — particularly France and Belgium — and now it serves as a symbol of the extremist group’s decline. Now, ISIS only controls a small area of northern Syria along the Euphrates River.

The success of the city will now depend on Raqqa’s new rulers, and if they can govern effectively. The U.S.-backed council has already furnished plans to repair the ruined city, waiting for the SDF to hand over control.

New Minor, Major Impact Michael Yellow Bird talks about all the facets that the Indigenous Peoples studies opens to students Phoebe Ellis

Head News Editor

The new minor, tribal and indigenous peoples studies, has been approved to be added to North Dakota State’s list of minors.

The minor is different from a native people’s minor because it takes a global look at indigenous peoples, according to Michael Yellow Bird, the director of tribal and indigenous peoples studies program.

The coursework focuses on looking at problems indigenous people face and their ways of life regarding topics from sustainability to climate change.

A big topic within the structure of the minor is

talking about war. “We learn about war and about health and those kinds of things because they’re not only people who have experienced a lot of invasion, but they are people that have been ravished by different kinds of diseases and illnesses from a colonizing nation,” Yellow Bird said.

Because of their perspective of colonialism, and because they’ve experienced it worldwide, indigenous peoples’ perspective is unique. They also have experience with mass fatalities at the expense of illness, which may give valuable insight into epidemics today’s world faces, or give students a deeper understanding of the harm colonists inadvertently caused.

“We look at different kinds of indigenous people, people who live in urban areas, those who have been displaced by colonialism, some people have moved to urban areas and we’ll look at hunter-gatherer peoples, agrarian cultures, that sort of thing,” Yellow Bird said.

Not all peoples are alike, which is a common misconception in the global society today. This minor hopes to engage students to push past those preconceptions of who indigenous people are, and highlight the differences between tribal people and indigenous people.

Tribal people differ from indigenous people, although they do share a number of cultural values. Indigenous people have lived in a geo-

graphic location for a long period of time and have a deep-rooted connection to the land through generations. Tribal people don’t necessarily have that; they move across lands and borders and, according to Yellow Bird, “They’re more nomadic or pastoral peoples.”

Yellow Bird believes that this new minor is important because of the lack of exposure many people have to indigenous peoples across the globe.

“Programs that exist at some of the major universities are Native American programs, African-American programs, Latino American programs, but there are very few tribal and indigenous peoples studies programs that take a global look

at the world,” Yellow Bird said. “That’s important because, whether we believe it or not, we’re global citizens. We do the commerce, trade and illness we pick up is transmitted globally. We need to come to understand the planet we live on and all the people living here.”

Not only does the program take a look at indigenous people globally, it also has a regional part to the program where students can learn about indigenous people in their local area and get to know regional tribes.

This is helpful for any student planning to work with a specific tribe in any area, whether it be public health, engineering, youth programming or any other job a student wants to bring to the

tribal community.

What’s really important to Yellow Bird is that students get to understand the nature of indigenous culture and come to understand what kind of contributions they’ve made to the human population.

The university benefits because it adds to their credibility as a land grant university, whose mission is to provide education to everybody. This minor may draw in students of indigenous, tribal or Native American descent that may have otherwise chosen a different university.

Not only does it help NDSU, but it helps students fulfill their diversity and global course requirements.

The third and final headliner for WE Fest next summer will be singer Carrie Underwood.

“Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line had already been announced. The remainder of the bill has not been revealed,” the Forum reported.

Carrie Underwood last played at WE Fest in 2013, where she was the final headliner as well.

Tickets for the festival range from $120 for a threeday pass to $1,000 for VIP tickets.

Crash near NDSU

Two North Dakota State students crashed into a North Fargo apartment building Thursday night near the NDSU Campus.

The two students suffered minor injuries after their car hit the apartment building.

“Authorities say the car hit the apartment building, before apparently going into reverse on its own and finally stopping in the yard of a neighboring home,” Valley News reported.

The car appears to be totaled, and there isn’t an estimate on damage to the home.

Novelty contact lenses

“Eye experts are warning of the risks of wearing novelty contact lenses at Halloween, saying they can cause nasty infections and scratches to the eyes,” the BBC reported.

Novelty contact lenses are typically sold at joke shops and online, but don’t come with instructions on safe usage of them.

Contact lenses should not be shared, stored in tap water or worn overnight.

Every year people are treated, including children, who developed eye conditions after wearing the novelty contact lenses.

Sharing contact lenses, wearing a pair past the expiration date and storing them in tap water can have devastating effects.

Not using contact lenses properly puts you at risk for developing eye injuries or even permanent sight loss.

Novelty contact lenses should be treated as prescription lenses with proper storage, usage, cleaning and regular disposal.

Activist Janet Mock Seeks to End the Silence Q&A on the NDSU campus provides insight as to being a feminist and transgender activist

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS | PHOTO COURTESY

Janet Mock is an activist and inspiration to women.

Miranda Stambler Features Editor

Janet Mock, a transgender activist, feminist, writer, TV host and an advocate for many. She has strived to break the silence and open up about her experiences whether it is about being a person of color, feminist or a transgender woman.

On October 19, NDSU Women’s and Gender studies hosted a Q&A and book signing with Janet Mock, which was open to the public. People used the hashtag #Mock2NDSU to share experiences at the Q&A. Recently releasing her second book, “Surpassing Certainty,” explaining what her twenties taught her, while being a New York Times bestseller from her first book of “Redefining Realness.” She has a master’s in journalism from New York University.

After reading both of Mock’s books, students in the class the class taught by Erienne Fawcett, Introduction to LGBT Studies, wrote the questions that were asked during the Q&A. During the Q&A Ann Burnett was the one asking questions for the students and then notecards were given to the audience for the purpose of being able to ask questions that were not previously answered.

“I think it was a lifelong process – I think that when you are a person of color, a trans person, and a woman I think having all those identities in one body, you grow up in a world and a culture that is often not necessarily thriving or existing and so it can kind of be hard to navigate the whispers – of people around you” Mock explained about the journey of breaking the silence.

FARGO FASHION

Reasons to Thrift Shop

Ways to stay in trend and save money all at once Ryley Berzinski Contributing Writer

“Where did you get that?” This is a question I hear quite often regarding my clothes. Most people are surprised when my answer is, “Actually, I thrifted it!”

Thrift shopping has many great benefits that leave people wondering where you got your clothing.

If you can get past the fact that an item has been previously worn and you might have to do a little digging, then you may find as much joy in it as I do.

There is nothing compared to the feeling of being at a thrift shop and finding a unique item you adore at a great price.

Some of my favorite thrift stores in Fargo are Plato’s Closet, Clothes Mentor, Savers, Dakota Boys Ranch and Goodwill.

So, if you are looking for a little retail therapy, but also trying to stick to a budget, thrifting might be the answer for you. Here are the top four reasons why thrift shopping is a great option for finding new clothes.

1. Save money

RYLEY BERZINSKI | THE SPECTRUM

As college students, we all seem to be on a tight budget. If you are a fashion lover like me, constantly wanting new items, thrift stores are a great resource.

Most thrift stores offer deals on their already low prices; for example, it could be a certain color tag being 50 percent off.

Another great opportunity to save money that thrift stores offer is if you donate your old items, they give you a certificate for a certain amount off your next purchase. Thrift stores such as Clothes Mentor and Plato’s Closet even give you cash for your gently used items.

2. Save the planet

Thrift shopping can help keep items out of the landfill and give them a second life. Every garment you purchase means one less to biodegrade in a landfill.

Also, the pesticides used to grow cotton plants, which are needed to produce new clothes, can have a negative impact on the environment.

Transportation related damage to the planet and pollution are also decreased when clothing is bought secondhand, as new clothes are much more likely to travel long distances before being sold.

3. Fast fashion costs

Ever wonder why some fashion retailers have such low prices compared to others? Chances are it’s because they are producing their clothes unethically.

Examples of “fast fashion stores” are Forever 21 and

H&M. One main reason they can produce at such low costs is because the people actually making your clothes are sourced in another country where they do not have minimum wage restrictions. This means that because you are getting such a great “deal” another human is paying the cost.

4. Unique clothing

Most thrift stores get new items in every day. So, every time you shop there will be new treasures to find. One of my favorite things about thrifting is that I can try out a clothing item that may be out of my comfort zone and if I end up not loving it, I probably invested under $10 on the item anyway.

These days it seems a few fast fashion stores dominate the retail industry; therefore, it can be hard to find apparel that no one else has. Thrift shopping can give you the opportunity to find fun, vintage pieces to spice up your wardrobe.

The crazy thing about trends is that they always come around again; just ask the generation before us.

Things that they used to wear when they were our age have cycled around and are now back in style. This means that many thrift stores often have pieces that are trending now, such as Levi’s denim.

One of the many different thrift shop outfits you are able to find.

Writing is an incredibly difficult activity. People who do not write on the regular do not realize the strain writers go through to master their craft, or at least produce work they do not want to encase in concrete and drop in the Red River.

For writers, writing sometimes can feel like an emotional drain. But writing as an activity has the complete opposite effect. Writing is good for your brain.

Any writer will tell you there is no better way to emotionally purge other than writing.

Psychologist James Pennebaker studied the effect of writing by having participants write for a set time over three to five days. The

participants were asked to write about different topics, but Pennebaker found that those who wrote about their emotions gained confidence and reported more happiness.

The National Day on Writing may have been last Friday, Oct. 20, but that does not mean the writing must stop. Any time is a good time to take advantage of the benefits creative writing provides. Here are a few activities to get started:

Timed writing

Set a timer, get some paper and a pen, or open a Word Doc and write. Turn off your inner editor and just let the words flow.

This is an especially effective activity for dealing with writer’s block. Any blockage that is in one’s brain is bound to be knocked loose during a 10-minute

stream of consciousness writing session.

7x7x7

The numbers here are irrelevant, and the structure of this activity can be used multiple ways. The idea is to find the seventh book on a bookshelf, open up to page seven, look at the seventh line and then write a sevenword poem.

This can be tweaked for short story writing too. Drop in a zero for the 7x7x70 activity and write a 70word story. Why not try a 10x10x100 too?

Emotional labor

This last one is my personal favorite. Make a list of the top five fears in your life. Write a character who is forced to confront one of those fears.

I like this prompt for a couple of reasons. Mainly

Student Organization Spotlight | C o l l e g e s A g a i n s t C a n c e r

Volunteer and learn how to prevent the terrible variations of this disease Miranda Stambler Features Editor

Cancer, such a sensitive topic, but one that needs to be talked about more along with adding more education about the different diseases.

A relatively new NDSU organization, Colleges Against Cancer (CAC), does multiple things to help those affected by the terrible diseases of cancer.

Jamie Froberg, the president of CAC, from Lindstrom, Minnesota, is a fourth-year graduate student in the physics department.

He was able to discuss the main goals and ways of involvement with this NDSU organization.

There are two specific goals with CAC, one being volunteering and the other being spreading aware-

ness. “The first goal is to volunteer time to helping cancer patients,” Froberg explained. “One example of volunteering we are working on this semester would be volunteering at Essentia (a health center) to just spend time and talk with patients who may be lonely or stressed out about their situation and just want someone with them. Our second main goal is to spread awareness of cancer prevention strategies such as wearing sunscreen or not smoking.”

Many organizations set goals, but the difficulty is achieving said goal. CAC works to “achieve our goals by staying focused on them as well as by keeping our eyes open for more volunteering opportunities,” Froberg said. He went on to say how they are constantly trying to “gain more members

and raise awareness.”

The organization spreads awareness through tabling in the Memorial Union and explaining the different types of cancer to their members.

They have not only spread awareness of cancer prevention and the different types, but also “a woman whose cousin is batting cancer,” Froberg shared.

Becoming president of an organization is a big step in something you truly care about. The reasons why Froberg joined were mainly because he works in a lab on campus that involves pancreatic cancer research.

“I read many papers and statistics on cancer and how it affects people, and that made me decide to get more involved by helping people who have it,” Froberg said.

If you’re wondering why you should join or why peo-

ple normally join, Froberg said, “Most people in our group seem to know someone who has had cancer, and seeing how it affected that person made them decide to get involved with us.”

Once people join this organization, they are given help through helping people.

By helping others most get a good feeling about themselves. The organization also allows people to gain a whole new look on life.

“CAC helps students by giving them the opportunity to give back to the community through volunteer work,” Froberg said. “Additionally, meeting people who work with cancer patients and cancer patients themselves can provide new perspectives and outlooks on life.”

As president, Froberg shared his favorite memory during his time apart of the

organization, “One of my favorite things about being in this group is that whenever we have our displays up in the Memorial Union or Involvement Expo, people always seem really happy about what we are doing and are always really supportive of our cause, which really helps you see how much people care about each other.”

CAC is hosting the “Be the Match” event on Oct. 23, in the Memorial Union Badlands room, and Oct. 25, in the Memorial Union Hidatsa room, both from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event is a bone marrow registry event, not a donation event merely signing up saying you would like to donate if ever needed.

“People who are willing to donate bone marrow to help people with diseases such as leukemia can sign up onto

Be the Match’s list and fill out some information about themselves,” Froberg explained. “Then, if they are a match with a patient who needs bone marrow, they will be contacted to possibly donate their bone marrow to the patient who needs it, but not everyone who signs up will be contacted.”

“Giving bone marrow helps cure diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma,” Froberg shared.

CAC has meetings every other Wednesday night from 7 to 8 in the Memorial Union Hidatsa room. These meetings inform those attending of upcoming events and volunteer work.

Editor’s Choice: Horror-ific Authors for October These authors are perfect for the spookiest season of the year A&E Editor

Ah, October. Crisp leaves falling from trees, endless amounts of pumpkin spice and, of course, Halloween.

The spooky season offers plenty when it comes to entertainment. But Freeform’s “13 Nights of Halloween” can’t last forever. Here’s a list of authors that will fulfill your All Hallows’ Eve needs — cobwebs and witches brews included.

Edgar Allan Poe

Quoth the raven: Edgar

Shakespeare

“Double, double, toil and trouble,” anyone?

While people will often associate Shakespeare

with “Romeo and Juliet” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” some of his works set the scene for a ghostly time.

Literally.

Plays like “Hamlet” and “Macbeth” have plenty of drama and suspense, making the Bard of Avon a must for Halloween fun.

Other picks: “The Tempest,” “Othello,” “King Lear”

Gillian Flynn

Flynn’s works came into the spotlight when her 2012 novel, “Gone Girl,” was adapted for film in 2014 with a star-studded cast that

included Rosamund Pike, Ben Affleck and Neil Patrick Harris.

The mystery and suspense of “Gone Girl” captivated audiences, and for good reason. Flynn is a master of mystery. Like a good thriller author, she doesn’t give too much explanation as to ruin the ending. And trust me, her endings are always what you’ll least expect.

Other picks: “Sharp Objects,” “Dark Places,” “The Grownup”

Stephen King

King is known as the “King of Horror” — and for

good reason.

His most popular works include “Carrie,” “The Shining” and “It,” but that’s just the tip of King’s repertoire: King has published 67 full books and around 200 short stories. You could spend a whole lifetime reading all of his works, each more suspenseful and interesting than the next.

Other picks: “The Jaunt,” “The Running Man,” “Misery, “Thinner,” “Pet Sematary”

H.P. Lovecraft

While he may have been dead for 80 years, H.P. Lovecraft’s creepy short sto-

ries continue to please fans of horror.

Lovecraft basically only published his works in pulp magazines until he died poor, but his groundbreaking work has influenced the genre since. He’s best known for his two works in the Cthulhu mythos (“The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth”), but his other writings are equally as horror-ifically entertaining.

Other picks: “At the Mountains of Madness,” “The Dunwich Horror,” “The Colour Out of Space”

OCTOBER 19-21 25-28 AND

Paige Johnson

Allan Poe was a little depressing, but it makes for prime works of fiction.

From “The Tell-Tale Heart” to “The Cask of Amontillado,” Poe’s imagination is perfect for Halloween days. Filled with gore, mystery and fantastic finales, Poe’s works are sure to give you sleepless nights.

Other picks: “The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Pit and the Pendulum”

‘Assassin’s Creed Origins’ Will Be Released Oct. 27

Newest installment will feature a new location and a new assassin, in addition to a reworked AI Nathan Wetrosky Staff Writer

Oct. 27 marks the release of “Assassin’s Creed Origins,” created by Ubisoft.

The new installment takes place in ancient Egypt where the player will take on the role and responsibilities of the Medjay as Bayek. The Medjay are an ancient line of protectors in the country and use their power to help those in need.

With an arsenal of fearsome skills and weapons, Bayek will undoubtedly live up to his expectations.

There are many places that Bayek must travel to complete his quest to avenge a terrible deed that was done to him. Among these historical sites is the great capital city of Egypt, Alexandria, and the Nile Delta.

In these beautiful, and at times inhospitable locations, Bayek will have to take on armed guards, thugs and even the local wildlife will try to mess with him from time to time.

While traversing the dangers of this mysterious and ancient land, the player, along with Bayek, will have the opportunity to partake in many side quests that will give you “many intense, emotional, and memorable stories that paint a larger picture of the world and its people,” Ubisoft said in its “Assassin’s Creed Origins” information section on their website.

They go on to say that, “Each one will offer its own storyline and objectives, with no two quests being the same.”

This is an exciting prospect in a world filled with games that rehash the same quest over and over with only slight differences in dialogue and circumstances.

“Assassin’s Creed Origins” will also have a completely different combat system compared to all the other games in the franchise.

In previous “Assassin’s Creed” games, you could sit in one spot and, for the most part, mash the counter button until every enemy has

gotten himself killed to some degree by his own weapon.

The fighting in this game

by Bayek, and any unlucky enemy of him, will be based on timed attacks rather than letting an animation do all the hard work for you. A new way Ubisoft is spicing up fighting in “Origins” is the adrenaline gauge that fills up as you fight. When it is full, you can do some “killer” finishing moves.

The AI system has also been reworked. Characters act like they have a purpose in the world. They will wake up, walk around, do what they do and go to sleep.

Touches like these will make missions and even the everyday humdrum of country life much more interesting. Wild beasts will also have an impact on gameplay and how missions will be completed.

From the sound of it, this game will have quite a few new features that will be fun to experience, all while players traverse the sands of Egypt, uncover WIKIPEDIA COMMONS | PHOTO COURTESY mysteries and perform epic Players will be able to play Bayek, a member of the Medjay in ancient Egypt. assassinations.

Review: Barns Courtney Releases Attractive Debut ‘Attractions of Youth’ Young UK indie artist Barns Courtney overcomes obstacles to release debut album Laura Ellen Brandjord Staff Writer

British native-turnedimmigrant-and back again Barns Courtney released his debut album Sept. 29 after the completion of the first leg of his North American tour.

Originally born in Ipswich, England, Courtney moved to Seattle, Washington at the age of four years old. From a young age Courtney was known to create music, as he admits to constantly making up little parodies and songs with his mom.

At 14 years old, Courtney moved with his family back to the United Kingdom, where he finished his schooling.

Courtney landed a record deal at the age of 18 with his then band, SleeperCell.

In an interview with Matt Pinfield, Courtney shared his harrowing first brush with fame. Long story short, after countless hours of hard work and quite a bit of partying and waiting around, his record label dropped him at the end of their threeyear contract because the producer never mixed their tracks.

All of a sudden, what initially seemed like the start of the “good life” came crashing down. Courtney found himself sleeping on a girlfriend’s couch or in an abandoned old folks’ home in London with his former bassist, eating sardines on toast and working at a computer store.

It was definitely a dark time for the young artist, but he also admits that it became a great source for musical inspiration. The result of

this turmoil is definitely evident in his debut through the lyrics of many songs.

However, Courtney manages to keep much of the album light, fun and full of attitude.

‘Fire’

“Attractions of Youth” kicks off with the song to which he owes his second chance at fame. It was the shoddily spliced hybrid of two versions of his first track, “Fire,” which made its way to director John Wells.

“Fire” was selected for the soundtrack of the motion picture “Burnt,” starring Bradley Cooper.

A song pleading with the heavens to give him back the passion that he used to feel about life and about music, it is a singable indie track that everyone can relate to.

Simple instrumentally, Courtney aggressively strums simple chords as layered vocalizations and “primitive” drums and clapping beat out a rhythm.

This allows his pleading vocals more impact and showcases the slight rasp to his voice.

With an old west showdown styled breakdown, this song’s arrangement by Courtney is what really allows it to shine.

‘Golden Dandelions’

The fourth track, “Golden Dandelions,” is one of Courtney’s successful singles. While at face value it seems to further romanticize modern society’s relationship norms, the real story behind the track is darker and all the more beautiful.

The song is actually about Death, the being, but not the commonly portrayed one dressed in black robes

and skeletal figure.

Courtney drew inspiration from the John Donne poem “Death, Be Not Proud.” In the poem, Donne poses the question: What if death was like a friend, not some dark foreboding creature wielding a scythe?

Courtney took this one step further and transformed death into a beautiful lover who lures you out above the city as the lights melt and fade and seals your fate with one last embrace in a field of golden dandelions.

Everyone has to admit that sounds way more appealing than being dragged away by some dark robed third spirit from “A Christmas Carol.” Clear vocals with heavy bass drum use, the brightness of an electric guitar and drum brush scraped cymbals give this song a decidedly pop indie quality. Definitely a favorite from the artist’s debut.

‘Hobo Rocket’

“Hobo Rocket” might be my favorite off of the album.

It just has a cool rock vibe to it. With verses comprised of successful “rhythm talking,” it’s the perfect blend of cool and funky.

“When my feet touch down on the foreign land, I buried all my money in a coffee can, and I’ve been hobo skippin’ just to hide from the weather, only got to pennies better rub them together.” Lyrics in this track, again, mirror many of Courtney’s experiences during the years between record deals. This track is complete with a audio clip of an actual hobo outside of a London Tesco station giving Courtney musical advice. Just another facet

Barns Courtney’s debut album keeps a light, fun attitude, despite the artist’s hardships in the past.

furthering the cool factor on this unique song.

‘Champion’

“Champion” showcases not only Courtney’s drive to attain his dreams, but also his ability to create complex arrangements with nontraditional instruments.

Is that a squeaky door you hear? Sure is.

Sounds like there might be a filing cabinet door being slammed? Then that is

most likely what it is.

Courtney recorded much of the album’s instrumentation using found items at the old folks’ home he and his former bassist lived in. The results are tracks such as Champion, with instrumentation and arrangement as intensely interesting as the lyrics.

With “Attractions of Youth,” Barns Courtney proves he merits a successful

record deal. Perhaps not a shining example of overcoming obstacles to pursue your passion, Courtney seems comfortable bearing his scars and rough edges. An artistic mind capable of masterful musical arrangement and deep lyricism, Barns Courtney is definitely a name to watch, and music to listen to.

What is hate speech?

What is protected under the First Amendment?

Simply, what is being said is hate speech. The posters from Identity Evropa, the letter from the Ku Klux Klan, it is all one hundred percent hate speech.

We must seek to discredit and disarm these ideals here at NDSU. And it isn’t going to be easy.

To me, and many others, it seems all too clear. Racism is racism, derogatory speech is derogatory speech, and the First Amendment of my country shouldn’t give people the right to racism or bigotry against anybody.

“Many logical people like yourself even, we probably have different ideas of what hate speech is defined as.

Podcasts Rival the Tried and True Cardio Playlist How a podcast will keep you on a cardio machine longer than music I was able to distract myself with the stories instead of focusing on getting tired.

Cierra Steffensen Staff Writer

The most common choice for treadmillers, stair steppers or elliptical users while working out is music. Keeping a solid beat to the tune of your favorite pump up songs is one of the most effective ways to pass the time as your feet pound against machine in an attempt to keep your

physical fitness up to par through cardio exercise.

While songs like Kanye’s “Power,” the Black Eyed Peas’ “Pump It” and Ariana Grande’s “Side to Side” may be great songs to get you moving, music grows old and the sound of your bed and a Netflix marathon begin to sound a little more tempting.

When doing the same cardio routine day after day, the workout can become quite dull. Suddenly, you require more than your usual

pump up playlist to keep you on the machine. What better way to switch it up than a podcast?

Recently, I have found a love for the many different podcasts offered on Spotify and Apple Music. Often with music you can enjoy the sounds without paying close attention to the words being said. This is not the case with podcasts, therefore making it a much better distraction from the lack of oxygen entering your lungs.

There are tons of

different podcast options available. My personal favorites are “Lore,” “This American Life,” “Serial” and “Nancy.” By listening to stories instead of a tune, it becomes much easier to pay attention to what is echoing through your headphones instead of the 120 stairs you

Cooper said. “I was able to distract myself with the stories instead of focusing on getting tired.”

Cooper and Miller both, like myself, prefer podcasts of the storytelling category when doing cardio because it is hard not to finish the story without stopping to climb off the machine. However, there are many categories to choose from.

“The mysteries and serial killer stories are so intriguing,” Miller began.

“It’s just interesting to hear the background of a murder or an old urban legend in story form. It keeps my mind preoccupied.”

Next time you decide to hit the gym for a cardio session, try a podcast. Who knows? Maybe you’re more in shape than you thought.

Esports Closing the Gap to Reality Digital gaming becoming a big player in sports Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor

Whether you think of esports as a proper sport or not, there is now no way to completely separate the two.

The growth of esports over the past few years has been brisk. The 2017 Intel Extreme Masters Final clocked in with 46 million unique online views. For comparison, Nielsen had 30.6 million viewers for the Trump inauguration.

Viewership of esports has started to trend toward more offline. TBS carries a steady amount of ELEAGUE, while Overwatch can be found on Disney XD. On occasion, the ESPN family of channels carry some esports, including Halo, and FIFA tournaments can be found on Fox Sports.

This summer, NBCSN will dedicate 40 hours of content

to Rocket League.

While the shift to television is aiding growth, the online viewership and revenue continue to grow as well. A study by SuperData Research showed that the viewership on Twitch is larger than that of Netflix and HBO. On the revenue side, Newzoo data totaled the amount of revenue in esports in 2017 as $696 million.

This is still while esports lack the mainstream appeal that traditional sports carry.

The two entities appear relatively far apart.

But after this week, it is time to really consider that esports have become a legitimate player when it comes to sports entertainment.

One of the most popular esports competitions, the League of Legends Championship Series, just went through a momentous

week.

First off, the World Championships continued in China. The winners will take home a big part of the $4 million prize pool. That prize pool contained $2 million of crowdfunded money and is one of the largest in esports history.

With the semifinals taking place this weekend, tickets to the event at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center are already sold out.

The arena holds 18,000.

The finals will be in the Bird’s Nest in Beijing, which seats 91,000. Tickets have not yet been made available, but it is likely they will sell out as well for the Nov. 4 final.

While all of this was going on, the North American region of League of Legends (NA LCS) entered a bold new era.

Instead of the former method of relegation and promotion,

EARN

MONEY

the NA LCS will move to a franchise based model in the spring.

Throughout the week, the franchises were announced.

Some of the big hitters remained, such as Team SoloMid, Cloud9 and Team Liquid. One notable team, Immortals, decided against joining, rather focusing on their Overwatch League team.

In more of a shock, three NBA heavy hitters won franchise rights. The Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets will join the League landscape now.

Other organizations are jumping on board, further blurring the line between digital and physical sport.

The New York Yankees last week stated an investment in the esports organization Echo Fox’s parent company Vision Esports. Echo Fox also secured a franchise this

week.

All of this is occurring as the mainstream sports are beginning to join the esports community.

Starting next year, the NBA and Take-Two Interactive will combine for the NBA 2K eLeague.

Seventeen NBA teams will be featured in the inaugural season. NBA commissioner Adam Silver has already made his intentions clear to have all 30 teams in the league.

Meanwhile, Electronic Arts and Madden have extended their esports competitions, with three major competitions leading up to the first Madden Ultimate League starting in February.

FIFA continues to be at the forefront, with the FIFA Interactive World Cup and Club World Cup taking off.

But when it comes to the coupling of digital sport with

the real world, it is Formula 1 that is really blurring the line.

The F1 Esports Series will have its Grand Final on the day before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the final race of the Formula 1 season.

But in terms of realworld experience, McLaren F1’s World Fastest Gamer perfectly connects the two sides. Over the last few months, McLaren has gathered 10 of the fastest racers in the world on different platforms. They will go and race in front of a panel of judges, and the winner gets a one-year deal with the team as the simulator driver. That job is integral for the F1 team, collecting data to be used by the McLaren drivers for each Grand Prix.

At that point, a reality of playing video games for a living has just come true.

Houston vs. Hollywood in 2017 Fall Classic Astros and Dodgers hope to finish off franchise-best seasons Thomas Evanella Staff Writer

An unpredictable postseason in Major League Baseball has arrived at the most predictable World Series matchup. The National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers will face the Houston Astros, winners of their first American League pennant.

This year’s edition of the Fall Classic will be the first since 1970 in which both teams won 100 or more games in the regular season.

Los Angeles’s 104-58 record was the best in baseball this season. The Dodgers at one point ripped off 43 wins in 50 games, a run of supremacy unseen since 1912. The feat was accomplished by the New York Giants 105 years ago. The quest to become the winningest team in baseball history was ultimately undone by an 11-game losing streak in September.

The Dodgers cruised to the World Series on the back of top-line pitching. Los Angeles faced some difficulties in the first two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLDS, but since then their pitching staff has hit its stride. The Dodgers dispatched the Diamondbacks in a three game sweep, leading to a matchup with the reigning champion Chicago Cubs. Against the Cubs, the Dodgers gave up no more than three runs in a game, losing only game four

of the series.

A rotation featuring allworld lefty Clayton Kershaw and veteran Rich Hill became even better in July.

Yu Darvish was acquired prior to the non-waiver trade deadline from the Texas Rangers. The rotation’s dominance has continued into the postseason. Dodgers’ starting pitching have struck out 49 batters in 42.1 innings and have posted a 3.43 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Kershaw has long carried the reputation as a pitcher who has faltered in the postseason. The future Hall of Famer exorcised his postseason demons in the deciding game five of the NLCS. Kershaw gave up three hits across six innings to lift the Dodgers to their first pennant since 1988.

Closer Kenley Janson has anchored the Los Angeles bullpen, not allowing an earned run in the postseason and only two hits in eight innings of work.

Justin Turner and Yasiel Puig have paced the Dodgers at the plate. Puig, oft troubled as a younger player, has batted .422 with a .669 slugging percentage in the postseason. Turner has not been far behind, batting .398 with a .680 slugging percentage.

Turner’s walk-off three-run home run in game two of the NLCS gave Los Angeles a commanding lead in the series. Turner’s heroics earned him the co-NLCS MVP award, which he shared with Chris Taylor. Taylor batted .316 in the series and scored

five runs atop the Dodgers’ deep lineup.

Lost in the excitement surrounding the Cleveland Indians’ record setting 22game winning streak were the Astros, winners of 101 games in the regular season. The Astros have been built for 2017 and beyond, as years of top draft picks have finally yielded a World Series team.

Houston faced a far more difficult road to their first World Series appearance since 2005. The Astros were able to advance past the Boston Red Sox in four games, but went the distance against the youthful New York Yankees. The Astros went ahead 2-0 in the ALCS, but returned from the Bronx trailing 3-2 in the series.

Back to back home wins secured their spot against the Dodgers.

Front-line starters Dallas Keuchel and Justin Verlander have been simply dominant for the Astros. Keuchel was hampered by a neck injury in the middle of the regular season, but rounded into form in the postseason.

In his three starts, the 2015 Cy Young award winner has pitched to a 2.60 ERA and held opponents to a .212 batting average against.

Like Darvish, Verlander was a trade deadline acquisition who has been worth every penny. The 34-yearold took home ALCS MVP honors for his two masterful performances. Verlander hurled a complete game in game two of the series,

Clayton Kershaw has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, and now gets his shot at the World Series. striking out 13 batters. He was equally unhittable in game six, striking out eight in seven innings of work.

Leading MVP candidate Jose Altuve has defended his reputation as the best all-around player in baseball this postseason. The fiery 5-foot-6-inch Venezuelan has played a sparkling second base and is swinging a hot bat. His five home runs and .400 batting average have made him a nightmare for opposing pitchers.

Along with shortstop Carlos Correa and first base-

man Yuli Gurriel, the Astros have boasted the best hitting infield in the postseason.

Gurriel and Correa have batted .366 and .295, respectively, in the postseason.

One area of weakness for Houston has been their defense. The Astros ranked in the bottom 10 in errors, fielding percentage and defensive efficiency this season.

The pick: Thanks to its depth, the Dodgers’ starting rotation holds a slight edge over Houston’s. Already tabbed the game one starter,

expect to see Kershaw come out and give the Dodgers the lead in the series. Turner and Puig will keep up their hot hitting, and the rest of the lineup will follow suit.

Playing the role of unlikely hero will be utility man Kiké Hernandez, who tagged the Cubs for three home runs in the decisive game five. It will be the Dodgers, with a better rotation and lineup capable of piling up hits, bringing a title back to Hollywood. Dodgers in five.
