Homecoming Court King, queen candidates heavily involved at NDSU, particularly Greek life Jack Dura

Head News Editor

If this fall’s homecoming court members are anything, they are busy.

The candidates for king and queen represent a number of organizations across campus, from the Blue Key Honor Society to Saddle & Sirloin to Greek life. Over 50 people were nominated by student organizations for the homecoming court.

An interview process determined the 12 court candidates.

Selection process

A month before Homecoming Week, the call went out for applications to the court.

Jessa Lusby, Campus Attractions vice president, said every student organization is given applications for nominating one man and one woman to be king and queen, respectively, with a twoweek deadline. At least 30 student organizations submitted king and queen applications, Lusby said.

Campus Attractions hosted interviews on Sept.

23 by two four-person committees, including

one current North Dakota State student, one staff, one faculty and one alum, said Kim Bruemmer, Campus Activities assistant director, in an email.

“Once the committee has interviewed all of the participants, they deliberate and determine which six will best represent what it means to be an engaged leader on campus,” she said.

Bruemmer added that Campus Attractions doesn’t participate in selecting the homecoming court other than setting up interviews and providing a list of generic questions for the committee.

“These questions involve campus involvement and Bison spirit,” Bruemmer said.

King and queen applicants are interviewed in a separate rooms, Lusby said, lasting about 10 minutes all on one night “to ensure fairness.”

The two committees of judges then determine their six candidates that same night, Lusby said.

Crown candidates

NDSU has 301 student organizations.

Candidates “could be from more than 30 organizations because

“The interviews do not look at if the person is part of a fraternity or sorority, it is based on how the individual prepares for the interview.”

– Kim Bruemmer, Campus Activities assistant director the (organizations) can nominate either one, two or no candidates if they wish,” she said.

Of the six men and six women selected for the homecoming court, their campus involvement ranges far and wide.

King candidate John Curley, a third-year professional student majoring in pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy, was sponsored by the American Pharmacists AssociationAcademy of Student Pharmacists. His campus involvement also includes men’s cross-country, Blue Key, Saddle & Sirloin and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, he said.

“I feel my involvement in multiple organizations on campus has allowed me to represent more than my nominating organization

while on homecoming court,” Curley said.

“My involvement has strengthened my leadership and time-management skills, as well as allowed me to make numerous friends I may have never met without getting more involved on campus.”

Queen candidate Elizabeth Thordson, a junior majoring in architecture, said she is involved in Love Your Melon, American Institute of Architecture Students and ambassadors for the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

“The biggest thing I have learned through my involvement on campus is how to balance working as a team while still being a leader,” she said. “Everyone is unique in their ways of working, and I have learned how to work successfully

with different personality types to accomplish a common goal.”

Student organizations sponsoring the 12 king and queen candidates include the Panhellenic Council, Blue Key, Residence Hall Association, APAASP, American Institute of Architecture Students, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Interfraternity Council, Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Phi Omega and Saddle & Sirloin.

Greek life

Four king candidates and three queen candidates have or have been involved in a fraternity or sorority at NDSU. NDSU’s webpage for Fraternity and Sorority Life says 600 students are members of NDSU’s 15 fraternities and sororities, totaling slightly more than 4 percent of the student body.

The prominence of Greek life participants on the homecoming court does not reflect values of the court, however, Lusby said.

“The interviews do not look at if the person is part of a fraternity or sorority, it is based on how the individual prepares for the interview,” Bruemmer said. “Once the committee has interviewed

all of the participants, they deliberate.”

One king candidate involved in Delta Tau Delta said the fraternity’s three members among the six king candidates show the fraternity’s “strength.”

“The fact that there are three members of Delta Tau Delta on the homecoming court shows the strength of our membership and diverse involvement we have across campus,” said Conner Swanson, a senior majoring in political science.

Other Delta Tau Delta members among the king candidates include Robert Kringler, a senior in history, and Jon Lipp, a senior in business administration.

Queen candidates involved in Greek life include Hannan Aboubaker, who is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, and Meaghan Tobin, senior in strategic communication who was previously involved in Kappa Delta.

Sarah Schmidt, a thirdyear professional student in pharmacy, said she is a member of Tau Beta Sigma, a co-ed band service sorority.

“The committee is looking for Bison pride and school spirit,” Lusby said.

ND Board of Higher Education Amends Alcohol Policy Groups requesting alcohol at events on campus must submit form in new process

Jack Dura

Head News Editor

North Dakota State may call itself a dry campus, but new regulations now allow alcohol at certain events on campus.

The North Dakota State Board of Higher Education made a policy manual amendment this summer allowing alcohol at SBHE facilities by presidential exception.

“The restrictions set forth in this document were intentionally rigorous, and

we do not expect to have many such events,” NDSU chief of staff Chris Wilson said in an email to the NDSU cabinet and deans.

The first event to provide alcohol at NDSU’s campus was the Sept. 26-27 “Music on Fire” concert by the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra.

“So many people had smiles on their faces; they saw this as such a positive thing,” Linda Boyd, executive director of the symphony, said to The Forum. “It just added so much to the atmosphere of

going to a concert.”

The Forum reported that Boyd said she credited NDSU President Dean Bresciani with the amended policy.

“When the conversation came up that maybe this president would be amenable to looking at this from a different point of view, our reaction was, ‘Oh wow. Great,’” she said.

Criteria for serving alcohol at on-campus events include 14 regulations ranging from the ages of those in attendance to including non-alcohol

beverages.

Most audience members must be over 21, the request of alcohol policy exemption form says, and alcohol may only be served one hour or less prior to an event, or during intermission.

Other criteria include the location of where alcohol can be served, as well as the type of event at which alcohol is served.

“Alcohol shall be served as an enhancement to an event rather than the main purpose or focus of a program or activity,” the form says, adding

serving alcohol applies to performing arts events versus “happy hour” events.

Event coordinators wishing to serve alcohol must submit the exemption request form to Bresciani no later than two weeks before the event date.

“Because this is a new process, compliance with this time-requirement is important so that we have adequate time to review the particulars of the request,” Wilson said.

The serving of alcohol at NDSU-related events is not a new topic this year.

Over the summer, Fargo city officials pondered the sales of alcohol at NDSU football games at the Fargodome.

The Dome Authority reversed its earlier approval of alcohol sales in favor of forming a committee to explore how to offer alcohol. The committee will comprise city, university and Fargodome officials.

The SBHE made its policy manual amendment on alcohol exemptions effective July 1.

The Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra was the first group to offer alcohol sales at an event on NDSU’s campus.

International Students Outnumber US Students Outside ND, Minn Tuition deals, programs offered encourage students’ decisions to join herd Erin Anderson Staff Writer

North Dakota State’s regional draw is strong, but it does not account for the entire university.

The Fall 2015 Enrollment Census Summary found that of the 14,516 students enrolled at NDSU, 44.7 percent are from Minnesota, 41 percent are from North Dakota, leaving less than 15 percent of students from somewhere else.

Due to in-state tuition and reciprocity tuition deals for North Dakota and Minnesota residents, the decision to attend NDSU can be easy.

The 861 students from outside of North Dakota and Minnesota in the U.S. came here for different reasons.

Junior Jessica Stadham, a veterinary technology major, hails from Clovis, California, and said she always wanted to work with animals.

“I wanted to find a veterinary technology program that was within a four-year institution,” she said. “While researching I leaned more towards NDSU

because after visiting the school and seeing what it had to offer, I felt like it was a great pick for me.

“I wanted a new environment away from home.”

There was a definite culture shock moving to North Dakota, Stadham said, since Clovis receives no snow.

“But I learned to wear layers and had to give up wearing flip-flops year round,” she said. “I would say I am very acclimated to the weather now.”

Students from 29 states attend NDSU. Behind Minnesota and North Dakota in numbers are South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Even though South Dakota does not receive the same reciprocity, the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education estimates that there are 45 to 55 new South Dakota students each year.

“I foresee the number staying around the same range each year,” said Merideth Sherlin, director of admission. “Since we are a school in North Dakota and Minnesota’s high population

in high schools, those two states will always have the highest numbers.”

The fall enrollment census found 1,005 international students, more students than others from states other than North Dakota and Minnesota.

Freshman Jisol Ham, a horticulture major, said she “chose NDSU because tuition is very cheap.” Ham is from South Korea.

“It is half other universities I was comparing it too,” she said. “Second, NDSU is very popular for their agriculture majors. In my original school, they did not have horticulture.”

Transitioning can be the hardest part for any person not from the Midwest, Ham said.

“Americans have very individual personalities, so they respect private life,” Ham said. “Also (South) Korea has very strict rules of manners between professors and students. It is unheard of to text or call a professor instead of emailing.”

In the end, though, the differences work themselves out.

“I feel really comfortable here,” she said.

Heitkamp Introduces Bill y to Reduce Student Loan Debt

S. 2050 aims to help students ‘afford the skyrocketing price of college’

Amanda Johnson

“North Dakotans shouldn’t have to choose between paying the interest on their education and buying a home.”

– Sen. Heidi Heitkamp

Staff Writer

A North Dakota senator is attempting to make college more affordable.

North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp introduced S. 2050: Private Education Loan Modification Act of 2015 on Sept. 17 that would allow borrowers to review private education loan balances at a lower interest rate.

A press release for the 10-page bill said “nearly 70 percent of college seniors in 2013 required loans to afford the skyrocketing price of college.”

The press release also said Heitkamp is trying to make it easier for students to refinance private educations loans. She wants students to have access to today’s low interest rates instead of the interest rates that occurred when they took out loans during the recent recession.

This would allow students to start paying back their debt and will better be able to start paying for their future because “North Dakotans shouldn’t have to choose between paying the interest on their education and buying a home,” Heitkamp said.

S. 2050 would also allow debt refinancing mechanisms to provide relief to private student loan borrowers by eliminating inefficiency, providing

refinancing option, encouraging innovations and strengthening effective oversight.

This is not the first time that Heitkamp has tried to make college more affordable.

In March, she supported an amendment that would “make college more affordable for middleclass families” by letting borrower with outstanding loads to refinance at an interest rate that is approved for new borrowers, her bill’s press release said.

More than $1.2 trillion exists in outstanding student loan debt in the US, Forbes reported; of that, more than $1 trillion is in private education loans.

In 2008, 81 percent of individuals who graduated with an undergraduate degree and had more than $40,000 in student loans had a private education loan, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reported.

The bureau also reported in 2012, there were 850,000 private loan defaults with an outstanding balance of more than $8 trillion.

In 2014 very few private student loan lenders had

created a transparent and flexible repayment option that would default for borrowers in distress, the bureau reported.

The excessive amount of student debt stunts economic growth, prevents students from home-ownership, small business growth and limits the chance of economic expansion across rural and urban communities, reported the bureau’s 2013 analysis of public input on impact and solutions.

Heitkamp’s proposal would ensure borrowers whose education debt obligations represent a a large share of their income will have some relief by having a lower interest rate on their load, the bill’s press release said.

The press release also said that by lowering the interest rate, Heitkamp’s proposal would allow growth in public economic benefits and allow students to pay off their debt without going bankrupt in the process of doing so.

S. 2050 was assigned to a congressional committee on Sept. 17, reported Sen. Heidi Heitkamp introduced a bill to allow students to refinance private GovTrack, with a “2 percent education loans at lower interest rates. chance of being enacted.”

Pediatric Cancer Patients to See Swift

Gate City Bank is hosting a fun-filled night of music and dancing for three patients at Sanford Children’s Hospital.

The bank is helping three girls who have been fighting cancer diagnoses and treatments attend Taylor Swift’s Fargodome concert Monday.

WDAY reported that 10-year-old Regan Okroi is one of the girls looking forward to Swift’s concert.

She has two weeks left of treatment for brain cancer.

“We are going to make posters, and we are all wearing red,” Okroi said.

Caleigh Damm, 12, will

also be attending the concert after starting treatment again along with 8-year-old Jordyn Werk.

Swift is visiting the Fargodome as one stop on her 1989 World Tour to promote he 2014 album “1989.”

She last performed in Fargo in 2013.

Fargo Police Crack Down on Distracted Driving

An increasing trend of cell phone usage while driving has led Fargo police to heighten enforcement efforts.

In North Dakota, it is illegal for drivers to use a phone anytime their car is in a driving lane, even if the car is stopped at a red light.

This law includes reading, sending and composing text messages, in addition to going online or any other applications while

driving.

The Forum reported police distributing 45 tickets to drivers over the course of 11 days.

“A driver who’s texting is 23 times more likely to be in a crash, which is statistically worse than driving impaired,” Fargo Police Sgt. Jim Kringlie said to The Forum.

Pumpkin Paradise

What to do with the season’s hottest item

Meghan Battest Contributing Writer

If you couldn’t tell by the emergence of yoga pants and Uggs, it’s fall. Soon the trees will follow suit and herald in the new season, and with fall, comes pumpkins … and not the kind attached to a spiced latte.

With pumpkins, comes tons of crazy ways to have creative (and inexpensive) fun.

The first step is acquiring your pumpkin(s). Luckily, Fargo has some great options.

Once you have your pumpkin, have some fun. Typically we think of carving and smashing (both of which made the list), but many more ways exist to use this symbol of fall.

Painting pumpkins

The best way to kick-off the list is with the easiest option. In lieu of carving, or maybe in combination with it, grab some old paint and see what you can create on this blank (albeit orange) canvas.

Bowling

Once the paint dries, cut the stems off (or leave them on for a challenge) and bowl. Set up old pop bottles or upside down red Solo cups and make a game of it with friends.

Pumpkin piñata

Here’s a spin on a traditional smash. If you left the stem on your bowling pumpkin, cut a hole in the side of the pumpkin instead of the top. Proceed to remove all the gunk and clean the interior as normal. Then fill the pumpkin with candy, plug the hole back up, hang the pumpkin from a tree branch by a string, blindfold your friends, grab a bat or tree branch and stay out of reach as you see who can break it open first.

Petite pumpkin candle

One of the simplest crafts to pull off: simply cut open baby pumpkins, gut them and place tea lights inside for small pumpkin candles. These are great outdoor or indoor decorations and don’t require actual carving of the pumpkin.

Pumpkin potting

Take a pumpkin of any size and simply clean out the inside. Carve a small hole for drainage in the base of the pumpkin, then pack in dirt and your favorite flowers to make a unique pumpkin pot.

Classic carve

Go back to your youth and fully clean and carve the pumpkin. Hopefully your motor skills have advanced since kindergarten, so you can try your hand at some of the crazy carvings online. Make sure to save the seeds for recipes.

Headless horseman

Don’t have a Halloween costume yet?

Don’t fret. Just buy a large pumpkin, carve it into a Jack ‘o’ Lantern and carry it with you. Voila! You are the headless horseman.

You also are the most low-maintenance costume ever.

So maybe arts and crafts isn’t your forte, or you’d really like to utilize the entire pumpkin instead of letting it go to waste.

Below are some ways to use the pumpkin’s health benefits.

Baking pumpkins

Since you have most likely already gutted the pumpkins for your various

“Typically we think of carving and smashing (both of which made the list), but many more ways exist to use this symbol of fall.” projects, this part will be easy. Cut the pumpkin in half, putting the halves face down on a baking pan. Cover them with foil and bake in a preheated oven (set at 375 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 1.5 hours or until tender. Time may vary depending on size of the pumpkin.

Face mask

Take two tablespoons of the cooked pumpkin and puree them. Add a dab of honey and a dash of milk. Apply this concoction to your face for fifteen minutes. Wash it off and enjoy what the pumpkin’s high concentration of vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc does for any sun-damaged, dry or sensitive skin.

Hair mask

Similarly, mix one cup of freshly cooked pumpkin with four tablespoons of coconut oil in a food processor. Apply the resulting mixture to your hair, cover with a shower cap or plastic wrap and let it soak in for 30 minutes. Wash it out well, then shampoo.

Want to smell like a pumpkin spice latte?

Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture at the beginning of the process.

For a more edible way to enjoy those same health benefits, try one of these recipes:

Pumpkin seeds

Wash pumpkin seeds so that no other gunk remains on them. This can be done relatively easily in a strainer or colander.

Once rinsed, place seeds on paper towels to dry.

Once dry, fry the seeds in butter, adding Worcestershire sauce to taste. Salt as desired, and you are done and ready to enjoy!

Pumpkin French toast

What you will need: 2 Eggs 1/3 Cup Pumpkin Puree 2 Slices of Sourdough Bread Coconut Oil or Cooking Spray, For Frying 1. Beat the eggs until smooth.

2. Mix the pumpkin puree through the beaten eggs until well combined.

3. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture until each slice is well coated and the batter is soaked through.

4. Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan or spray hot pan with cooking spray. When thoroughly heated, place the soaked bread into the frying pan.

5. Fry until cooked through and browned on both sides.

Thousands of other creative and delicious pumpkin ideas exist, but this list should be a great way to start enjoying the changing season without having to dole out loads of cash. Plus, it cannot hurt that your new crafts or food will make great Instagram posts!

SOGGY JOGGING

How a bona fide band geek got into running

Benjamin Norman Spectrum Staff

March 6, 2013

It began as a joke gone too far.

“Hey Hope!” I said to the girl stretching in our desolate high school hallway. “Ready to run with me?”

After school, Hope and the other nonnerds of Barnesville High would run lap after lap through the halls. The inside track beat the alternatives: treadmills and icy sidewalks.

She said, “OK,” and I said, “Psyche!”

She said, “See you tomorrow,” and I said, “Yeah! Right!”

That night, however, I found a raggedy red sweatshirt, a blue, barely used Under Armour shirt, a pair of shorts, two tube socks and my favorite Fruit of the Looms.

I chortled to myself. This would be fun.

March 7, 2013

My world is spinning as darkness starts to suffocate my eyes.

Hope runs on as I keel over near my locker, asking myself what went wrong.

Disclaimer: I’m not as athletic as I think I am. Don’t get me wrong; before that fateful run, I’d pound out miles on my family’s dinosaur of a treadmill. I only trusted that machine at 3 mph, but I still felt the burn at a 10 percent incline (the highest it would raise).

And I biked. And played — nay, started — on my seventh and eighth grade basketball teams.

I shouldn’t be dry-heaving after a mile and a half. Hope is like maybe 5 feet tall — doesn’t physics prove my legs should be working at half the rate hers are or something?

I didn’t throw up; I didn’t pass out; I, saccharinely, would not be deterred.

Spring of 2013

My favorite questions people would ask me were: “You? Run? Why?” “Golf season is coming up,” I’d respond.

“You’re in golf?” they’d ask.

Alas, my new running routine challenged people’s perceptions of this bona fide band geek. As a 12th grade lifer at Barnesville, people thought they knew me. Ha. My runs, which were and still are more like robust jogs, became longer and more frequent. I ran through the halls until spring finally arrived, and then I terrorized Barnesville’s city blocks by myself or with a mob of other misfits.

Equipped with an iPod, a yellow bracelet – more on that next week – and a general idea of where I wanted to go, I went.

FARGO FASHION Keyona Elkins

Contributing Writer

You know from the runway photos, street style snaps and celebrity-packed parties that Fashion Week is a glamorous otherworldly event.

You are partially right, but Fashion Week is much more than glitz and glamour. It is serious business.

Fashion Week is when designers show their seasonal collections of apparel and accessories to the industry and public.

Hundreds of runway shows occur over the span of a few days. These shows are short, showing 30-40 looks in about 15 minutes, but they can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and have major impact for business.

Some brands, usually lower end or specialized lines, choose to have presentations instead of runway shows.

Businesses show off their lines by displaying accessories or positioning models on elaborate sets for guests to view.

Presentations like Kate Spade’s floral line up and Sophia Webster’s mermaidsat-the-laundromat scene are increasing in popularity because they provide a more intimate and relaxed environment without sacrificing the artistic performance factor.

Fashion Weeks are held twice a year, starting in February and September, in the major fashion capitals of the world: New York City, London, Milan and Paris.

Insiders informally refer to it as “fashion month” because all the major shows occur over a month. Fashion Week presents womenswear collections, but other shows and presentations are held throughout the year for menswear, swimwear, Haute Couture, Pre-Fall and Resort/Cruise.

Designers are currently showing their Spring/Summer 2016 collections, and six months from now they will show Fall/ Winter 2016 looks. They work this far ahead because it takes time to determine trends and sales direction, collect orders, produce the garments, develop merchandising plans and deliver clothes to stores on time.

Fashion Week is essentially a trade show.

Retail buyers come to forecast trends and choose which designers and pieces to offer their customers. Not everything we see on the runway will be available for purchase.

Some pieces are shown only to bring attention to the collection and characterize

What is Fashion Week Anyway?

the brand. Others are altered slightly to be more wearable and therefore more profitable.

Still, others may not receive great response and won’t get produced at all.

On the magazine side of the industry, editors attend shows to determine upcoming trends and scout for styles they want to feature. The pieces shown on the runway are samples and usually the only one of their kind. So if Vogue wants to photograph one of Proenza Schouler’s ruffled cutout dresses, it must request to borrow it from the designers.

With magazines working about three months ahead, all the publications have to fight for use of a single coveted sample.

In the past, these insiders got exclusive access to Fashion Week while the general public had to wait to see the collections when they were showcased in magazines and debuted in stores.

Now anyone can watch runway shows through live streams and view entire collections online immediately after they debut. New York Fashion Week was a featured live story on Snapchat, and the Burberry show even got its own live story on the app.

Designers are also taking to fashion’s favorite social media outlet, Instagram, to get their customers more involved in the shows.

Misha Nonoo chose to forego the traditional runway show altogether this season and showed her entire collection on Instagram in what she titled an “Insta-show.”

While some in the industry scoff at the recent commercialization and transparency of Fashion Week, most brands are taking it as a marketing opportunity.

Celebrities, fashion bloggers and social media stars often borrow or are gifted clothes from designers to wear to shows and parties as publicity, as street style is covered almost as much as the collections themselves.

Customers aren’t limited to just viewing the new collections instantly; they can preorder pieces online which are fresh off the runway.

Making Fashion Week more accessible to consumers may expose much of the seductive mystery that has historically surrounded the fashion industry, but it is smart business.

This impact isn’t limited to fashion companies.

According to a report by Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney, Fashion Week generates almost $900 million for the New York economy each year; that’s more than the New York City Marathon and Super Bowl combined brought in last year.

Now that’s where the glamour gets real. Models line up backstage for Marni’s Spring 2016 runway show.

Juggling Act

Balancing school, sorority, work and volunteering

Balancing work, school and your social life is never easy. Is it worth it?

“Absolutely!” says sophomore Lauren McNaughton.

While balancing 14 credits as a nursing major, McNaughton works at Jimmy Johns and the NDSU Bookstore. Outside of work and her studies, McNaughton is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.

McNaughton’s favorite part of life at NDSU is the connections she has made.

Although it makes her life crazy, McNaughton said she relishes the friends she has made through NDSU.

In addition to work and school, McNaughton volunteers as a Bison Ambassador and with her sorority as the scholarship director.

Bison Ambassadors lead freshmen on classroom tours and hand out campus maps at the start of the year.

For homecoming, the ambassadors work to prepare the coronation ceremony, alumni events and the 5K Run/Walk for Scholarships.

Homecoming is one of the busiest times of the year for NDSU students, especially the sororities. With a week off between rush week and homecoming, sororities work to get their float for the parade ready, rehearse for the homecoming show and Ms. NDSU ceremony.

North Dakota’s deadliest battle between whites and Native Americans played out at Whitestone Hill in September 1863.

Generals Alfred Sully and Henry Sibley headed campaigns in 1863 to punish the Sioux responsible for murders in Minnesota in 1862.

As Sibley headed west with 2,000 men, the conflict spilled into Dakota Territory. His troops fought three brief skirmishes with Sioux warriors in late July before turning back to Minnesota, their excursion a failure.

Sully, meanwhile, was marching north from modern South Dakota and discovered an encampment of several Sioux tribes. About 700 of Sully’s 1,200 men were present for the ensuing battle against hundreds of warriors.

Thousands of Sioux women and children were also in the camps.

Sully’s men attacked, intending to corral the Sioux while cutting off escape routes.

The close quarters battle claimed many

Native American lives.

White soldiers recalled Sioux warriors raiding the battlefield at night and scalping American troops while they wailed and cried.

Many Sioux escaped during the sunset battle, abandoning their homes and goods.

Sully ordered his troops to destroy everything, including 300 teepees and over 200 tons of buffalo meat. These supplies and more were the Sioux stores for winter, and their destruction left the tribe destitute for the coming season.

Two days after the battle, a patrol of two dozen soldiers found a few hundred Sioux several miles from Whitestone Hill. The Native Americans chased the small group back to the battlefield, killing and wounding several of the soldiers along the way.

Twenty soldiers were killed in total, while Sioux losses were estimated between 100 and 300. Over 150 Sioux men, women and children were captured. Sully called the battle a victory, despite killing Sioux warriors who likely had no part in the Minnesota uprising.

“I believe I can safely say I gave them one of the most severe punishments that the Indians have ever received,” Sully said.

Saving Grace Part Two

Amanda Wagar Contributing Writer

She was falling — no, she was floating, surrounded on all sides by mirrors. Twisting around to reposition herself, she found she was not alone.

Another figure drifted less than a foot away, but her body was limp and lifeless, her long, dark hair dangling — dull and lusterless, like death.

She reached out, opening her mouth to call to the other girl but her voice was gone, the silence swallowing her words.

“Grace?” Who was that girl?

She swam in the air, desperate the try to get to the stranger to no avail.

Something was holding her back, pulling her away even as she came closer. She was almost able to touch her shoulder...

“Grace, snap out of it!”

She woke up with a jolt to Sam shaking her shoulders, his eyes wide in concern, face inches from her own where he knelt beside her chair. Piper stood to his right, her hands on the edge of the table.

“Is she okay?” The two looked at each other before looking back at her, seeming to contemplate her well-being. “She just suddenly passed out. That

“It had just been a dream, after all. It couldn’t possibly be real — it made no sense, after all.” can’t be normal, can it?”

“Guys, I’m fine.”

Standing up, she patted Sam on the shoulder, smiling.

“I’m okay.”

It was all a dream in the end.

It had to be, but it had all been so real.

If she had reached just a little further, she was sure she would have felt the cloth of the girl’s baggy shirt. She shook her head, sitting back down. “I just had a crazy dream, that’s all.”

Piper stared at her in disbelief, “Are you sure? I really think we should take you to see the nurse, just to be safe. You hit your head pretty hard when you fell.”

“Fell?” She echoed, uncertain whether she had heard right. It had just been a dream, after all. It couldn’t possibly be real.

It was just her imagination getting the best of her.

“Yeah,” Sam answered, “You were saying something about ideas for the float and then you just fell. Piper and I had to work together to get you into a chair.”

“You were out for a

while; we were worried about you!” Piper added, placing a hand on Grace’s forehead. “You’re certain you aren’t sick?”

She nodded, brushing back her bangs from her face, straightening out the wrinkles from her t-shirt.

“I don’t even remember falling, so everything is A-OK. We were discussing the spring festival, right?”

Hesitantly, Sam nodded while Piper opened her tablet again to recap the main points of the discussion before Grace had passed out.

Thankful for the change of subject, she relaxed in her chair, happy to just listen to her two friends pass ideas back and forth, debating the best decoration choices and budget options.

This was normal. This was the real world, unlike that mirrored-place that could have come straight out of a fairy-tale.

“It was just a dream,” she muttered when Sam said goodbye, mentioning the homework he needed to complete for a class on Monday. Piper put away her tablet, closing her bag.

FIDAN ALIYEVA | THE SPECTRUM

“Of course it was a dream,” she motioned for Grace to follow as she made her way to the door.

“We should be going too. It’s getting late, and I think you should get some sleep. I still think you should see the nurse, but that will have to wait until the morning now.” Grace groaned, standing up to join Piper by the door.

“You’re a worrywart,

you know that?”

“Yeah, a worrywart with common sense, unlike a certain roommate I know.”

Rolling her eyes, she fished out the key to their dorm as they walked up stairs, opening the door for the stubborn redhead who grinned when Grace finally gave in.

“All right, all right, if it makes you feel better, I’ll go see the nurse in the

morning.” If she was lucky, the nurse would pass it off as nothing to be concerned about, and they could put this matter to rest.

People Kill People Using Guns

Focus on what’s in front of you and that doesn’t mean your computer screen

Meghan Battest Contributing Writer

In the wake of yet another mass shooting, this time at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, debates will rage between gun control advocates.

Those adhering to their constitutional right to bear arms will use their catchphrase: “Guns don’t kill people; people kill people.” Others will demand an upheaval of the Second Amendment.

We continue to simplify the issue to one of people versus guns, but perhaps it spans further than this dichotomous thinking.

In the most connected world ever known, we have somehow managed to reach the peak of isolation

and distance, evidenced by the UCC shooter’s online admittance that this mass killing was the only way for him to feel “significant.”

We have become professionals at filtering our lives to fit the perfect picture. Literally.

We put our best face forward. Perfect angle, perfect lighting, perfect selfie and perfect life.

In all the mayhem of competing to look like we live the ideal, we have stopped living. And caring.

And actually removing the Valencia filter to address our, and others’, internal struggles.

So consumed are we with creating an appearance of happiness and obsessing over the same false happiness of others that we are left empty, jealous, dissatisfied shells.

“In all the mayhem of competing to look like we live the ideal, we have stopped living. And caring.”

And it leads to some communicating their distress through extreme acts of violence against themselves and against other innocent lives.

No excuse exists to justify the UCC shooter’s horrific actions. But these tragedies continue to occur, and while both guns and people are involved, so are our society’s values.

I simply urge everyone to scrutinize and criticize the violent and passive culture we have created: one that easily dismisses the problems of others in favor

of their online self-portraits.

The one that shrugs at horrendous killing as “not my problem” or “too depressing.” The one that leaves people screaming with a desire to be noticed and to be happy.

I will not claim that had the 26-year-old shooter been hugged more in his youth, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened. But ask yourself why so many mass murderers in the United States list recognition as a reason for their actions.

While I do believe that limiting access to automatic

weapons and applying stricter gun control laws could have a positive impact on decreasing this rampant and highscale violence, I have an additional proposition in mind: Stop.

Stop comparing your life to other people’s on social media. Stop thinking that just because friends’ worlds look easy and great on Facebook, they are not also scrolling through their Instagram feed every free moment and wishing they were living another life.

Stop passively sending thoughts and prayers to victims’ families and start addressing what our society is doing to allow and condone this violent “lookat-me” behavior.

Stop taking the easiest

tournaments games roleplay

OPINION

route and ignoring the hard decisions and realities to which we have become so desensitized.

Look up from your iPhone. Forget about yourself for a few hours.

Look a friend in the eye and genuinely listen to their problems.

Spend your time forging relationships, not your online presence. Our generation can either watch the world shatter around us, or we can actively work to reverse the downward spiral of our culture toward one of thousands of friends, yet no one to whom we can turn.

The root of the problem lies not solely in guns or solely in people, but in society’s distaste for reality and inclination toward passivity that ultimately leads to people killing people with guns.

Student Government Buys East Conference Room Plans in place to expand the Turf and make mug night Monday through Friday Paul Subart Staff Writer

Student government, for the first time in its storied history, made a logical use of our student fee dollars.

That’s right: On Wednesday, student government bought The Bison Turf and made it free to all North Dakota State students and staff who are of age.

The Bison Turf, or lovingly known as “the Turf”, has been a staple of NDSU life for decades and contributes much of its success to its popular “mug nights” every Wednesday night.

Student government’s connection to the Turf has been long, with The Turf being referred to as its “east conference room” and is often the source of their terrible ideas.

“The decision to buy The Turf was actually made during mug night,” said student body Vice President Josh Fergel. “We were

one mug down, and I was getting a little drunk when the idea just slipped out.”

Student government said the initial funds will come from the reserve fund, but the rest will come from the money they save by eliminating free student tickets to NDSU athletic events.

“People don’t even go to half the events anymore, but we know students will go to the Turf,” Fergel said, “and if worst comes to worst, we will eliminate Bike Share — because beer.”

The move has angered many in Fargo who also

threw tantrums about the possibility of alcohol being sold in the Fargodome during football games. It has also angered students’ parents who are simply jealous that this didn’t happen while they attended NDSU. Executive Commissioner of Public Relations Nikki Borstad said spinning student government’s purchase has been tricky, but successful so far.

“We are claiming the decision was made to control drinking rates on our own terms, but lets be real, we are actually doubling

the size of the building and making mug night Monday through Friday,” Borstad said.

She also said student government would expand the bar to be used as a conference room for clubs, hold senior-level classes and place a Bikeshare station outside of it.

The move has been supported by NDSU Administration and is believed to be a huge boost to future NDSU enrollment.

“We are already altering all of our advertising directed at incoming NDSU students to reflect that we

have our own free college bar,” said NDSU Provost Beth Ingram. “We think this will be a more effective sales pitch than the four championship trophies and expect enrollment to skyrocket. Frankly, this is a win-win for us.”

NDSU President Dean Bresciani is also in support of the deal saying, “Bro, this is totally awesome!” as he was seen walking towards the Turf holding his mug.

Kim Davis, the County Clerk Who Just Said No

Her unwillingness to issue same-sex marriage licenses is unjust and worthless

Erik Jonasson II Contributing Writer

Kim Davis is having a really difficult time adjusting to the hard, apocalyptic world in which we live.

She, of course, is the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk who is supposed to issue couples their marriage licenses. Sadly, with the ruling made by the Supreme Court this spring, she is having a hard time doing that job.

Davis has become a symbol for traditional marriage by her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses. In doing so, she

has sparked a nationwide debate over conscientious objection and whether she should still have her position.

Wherever your opinions lie, there is no argument that same-sex marriage is the law of the land now.

The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize it is either a sign of progress or a sign of the end for American citizens. For Kim Davis, it’s safe to assume she agrees with the latter.

Personally, I have no problem if someone else doesn’t share the idea that marriage should be open to everyone. It is really fine, as the right of different ideas and opinions is what is great about this country.

Though let’s make one thing clear: same-sex couples are not affecting you at all. Do not go out

and be rude about their rights.

It is OK if you don’t think their relationship constitutes as a “marriage,” but you can’t make a legal decision about that. The Supreme Court made that decision.

Kim Davis was elected to do a job, a job that she is refusing to do.

There is a line separating your beliefs with your job and politics. This line should not be skewed.

When I am out in public, very rarely do I actually tell people what I believe.

When I am waiting tables, I obviously don’t have any of my personal beliefs out in the open for everyone to hear.

I don’t greet people by saying, “Welcome to our restaurant, would you enjoy any wine, or maybe a

debate on Muslim’s rights in this country?” That is ridiculous.

It seems pretty elementary. There is a time and a place. I think most people would agree. The problem is Kim Davis let her opinions and politics get in the way of her job.

That is just not OK. Religious freedom doesn’t really work when you have a separation of church and state. Your church can refuse to do same-sex marriages, I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that.

However, you cannot say the same for your country, your state or even your county.

Refusing to do your job because of a ruling that grants equal rights to someone who is the same as you is not brave nor is

it honorable. Rather it is simply stupid.

You can have your own opinions at home, but don’t drag them into the workplace for everyone to have to deal with them.

Kim Davis has been working in the office for over 26 years, and I honestly think she cares about the best interests of Rowan County.

Her stand against the minority’s right to marriage is futile.

You are not affected by anyone’s marriage. In fact, today there were probably tons of marriages and none of them affected you. You didn’t even think about them.

Kim Davis, you are not saving the country by withholding marriage licenses, and you have no right to let politics get in the

way of your job.

You cannot deny them something that has been granted to them by the Supreme Court.

That is if you want to keep your job, though.

Maybe you just can’t handle the ever-changing landscape of being a county clerk.

Maybe you need to step down because your personal life got in the way of your job. Maybe Kim Davis needs to just ride off into the sunset, and live out her life as an activist.

So now let’s move forward. Let’s do our jobs, regardless if it conflicts with our religious views. Finally, lets focus on the other things that people aren’t talking about because those are the things that need our attention. Not some county clerk in Kentucky.

How We Handle Threats of Terrorism, Rape Due process is a fundamental right, not something to be randomly assigned

Matt Frohlich Staff Writer

Before I go any further, let me clarify: nothing I am about to say represents my beliefs. But this is the kind of rhetoric employed following September 11 (and indeed, some of it persists today).

We live in a culture where the threat of terrorism is so pervasive it justifies denying Arab Muslims due process for terrorism-related crimes.

Just to be clear, I consider due process to be one of the most important rights guaranteed by our Constitution. But terrorism is such a heinous crime that these protections should not apply to Arab Muslims.

The threat of terrorism faced by Americans is so self-evident that I do not need to prove its existence. Many Americans question how severe this threat really is and whether it justifies denying Arab Muslims due process.

These unpatriotic

terrorist sympathizers are just as bad as the terrorists.

A simple accusation of terrorist activity by an American toward an Arab Muslim should be enough to make a conviction.

Critics argue this is unfair as Americans have the potential to lie or mistake what constitutes terrorism. These critics are also unpatriotic.

They fail to realize most Americans live under such a severe threat that they would never lie. Therefore, we should always believe Americans who make these accusations.

I am singling out Arab Muslims for a good reason; they constitute 99 percent of terrorists.

The reason Arab Muslims constitute most terrorists is because they have a toxic culture that condones and even encourages terrorism.

If Arab Muslims do not like this treatment, they should learn to stop being terrorists.

People say I am bigoted.

This is an unpatriotic stereotype, and a form of terrorist sympathizing.

The fact that I take the time to point out all the flaws in Arab Muslim

“All forms of freethinking are effectively eliminated in an environment where this rhetoric prevails.” culture shows how much I care about them.

Remember, terrorism affects everyone, including Arab Muslims. So I speak on behalf of Arab Muslims in addition to all other Americans.

Understandably, this makes people upset. But it is not enough to become upset; we must analyze why this kind of rhetoric is harmful.

1. The threat of terrorism is unfalsifiable.

Any sort of constructive dialogue on whether the threat of terrorism is severe enough to justify these actions is itself considered a form of terrorism. All forms of free thinking are effectively eliminated in an environment where this rhetoric prevails.

2. It runs contrary to our country’s values.

Everyone deserves due process in America, regardless of the crime.

If we start cherry picking which criminals

deserve due process, it undermines the credibility of our entire system of values.

3. It ignores the obvious fact that Arab Muslims do not constitute 99 percent of terrorists. If you want evidence of this, examine the racial/religious breakdown of American mass shootings.

4. It is clearly bigoted.

It is true terroristic attitudes are a problem in Arab Muslim countries, but this does not mean that all Arab Muslims condone terrorism.

It certainly does not mean their values are “toxic.”

Not only is this bigoted toward Arab Muslims but also anybody who disagrees.

5. It employs phony justifications about how this culture of fear is in no way bigoted and actually benefits Arab Muslims.

Let’s compare this rhetoric to that employed by feminists when discussing the supposed “rape culture”

we live in. In both cases, the rhetoric employed is nearly identical. I disagree with feminists for the same reasons I disagree with the first example.

We live in a culture where the threat of rape is so pervasive it is justified to deny men due process for rape.

Again, I consider due process to be one of the most important rights guaranteed by our Constitution. But rape is such a heinous crime that these protections should not apply to men.

The threat of rape faced by all women is so self-evident I do not feel the need to prove its existence. Despite this, many Americans question how severe this threat really is and whether it justifies denying men due process.

These sexist rape apologists are just as bad as the rapists.

A simple accusation of rape by a woman toward a man should be enough to convict said man.

Critics argue this is unfair as women have the potential to lie or mistake what constitutes rape. These critics are sexist.

They fail to realize most women live under such

a severe threat that they would never lie. Therefore, we should always believe women when they make these accusations.

I am singling out men for a good reason, as they constitute 99 percent of rapists.

The reason men constitute the most rapists is because they have a toxic culture that condones and even encourages rape.

If men do not like this treatment, they should learn to stop being rapists.

People say I am bigoted.

This is a sexist stereotype, and itself a form of rape apology.

The fact that I take the time to point out all the flaws in masculine culture shows how much I care about men. Remember, rape affects everyone, including men. So I do this on behalf of men in addition to women.

Feminists, your rhetoric is offensive, both to men and to anybody who dares to question your ideology. You claim you are not bigoted toward men, but your actions speak otherwise.

receiving a degree, he went on to work as an architect in several distinguished firms.

Upon retiring, Falck became a fulltime artist. He created art both at home and overseas in Spain and Italy among other countries in artist residencies.

Falck died in 2003 at 84 years old. He gave $3.6 million in artwork and endowment to NDSU to provide scholarships for visual arts students. The endowment will also help to develop the arts program as a whole.

“My uncle did not know what he had to give, but he wanted to give all he had so the NDSU art students could follow their chosen path,” Falck’s niece Mary Anne Swiontek said.

The artwork of Falck is being featured in the Memorial Union Gallery under the title “A Protest Against Forgetting: The Paintings of Jim Falck.” Falck’s work will be displayed until November 18.

$

The work of Jim Falck brings upon a strange air of familiarity. It looks as though you have seen it before though you cannot recall when, like trying to grasp the pieces of a lost dream.

The beauty of Falck’s work is that you never will be able to name where you have seen it before because it is truly and purely Falck.

The images on display range from architectural drawings to abstract paintings.

The immediate influence you see in Falck’s work like Picasso’s cubism, but Falck takes this style and turns it into something entirely his own.

Falck pairs simplistic, minimal images with violent flashes of color. The structure of the images is over-simplified to the point of mystifying complexity, like peering into

a visual oxymoron. The overall effect is gripping and enthralling.

The collection of artwork as a whole is immensely expressive and captivating.

Spectators are easily brought into Falck’s perspective of the surrounding world.

Throughout the paintings, Falck exercises an immense proficiency in various mediums, including pencil, charcoal and acrylic.

“I want to discover what the paint wants to do. I am not always in control with idea or thought,” a quote from Falck reads.

It is also evident that Falck found beauty in the mundane as the subjects of his paintings portray everyday scenes, just viewed in a different light. The titles of works such as “Late Birthday” and “What a Lovely Spring Day” lend to Falck’s glorification of the mundane most would normally take for granted.

Falck was a North Dakota native who attended NDSU to study architecture. After

Dead Weather has presented a cohesive blues sound since their first project in 2009 with “Horehound,” and with the release of “Sea of Cowards” one year later.

The potent vocals of Alison Mosshart of The Kills adds a ruminating sound of angst amid the wailing guitar of Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence of City and Colour’s powerful bass. White is the binding force that holds the group together, lending his skills to the drums, guitar and backup vocals.

The first track of the album, “I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)” grabs the listener by the teeth and pulls us in to the stormy weather of “Dodge and Burn.”

With the lyrics, “Why does my heartbeat feel like a speaker?” Mosshart describes the emotions of the listener while rolling along to the steady yet existentially unstable musical hues of Fertita’s guitar.

This aspect is especially noticeable in songs like “Open Up,” in which we are assaulted with in-your-face riffs intermixed with a more subtle sense of ire. Both of

which encapsulate the paradox of quiet fury and brash wrath that seem to be ever-present in the genre.

White is a man of many talents, as can be clearly heard in “Dodge and Burn.” In most of the tracks he sits in the background as the drummer. I use the term “sits in the background” loosely here, because in reality he proclaims, “I am Jack White, and I am good at everything,” quite humbly and subtly, of course.

He lends his voice to some tracks, such as “Three Dollar Hat,” which illustrates a tale of woe that comes up now and again in White’s writing. He also sings back-up vocals for songs such as “Rough Detective,” providing a edgy balance to Mosshart’s stunning vocals.

Mosshart’s true vocal prowess, however, is brought to the forefront in songs like “Let Me Through,” in which she graces the listener with a growling warning of, “Don’t mess with me.”

The song “Impossible Winter” is quite a contrast to this. We can experience Mosshart’s raw emotion along with her soaring vocal valor.

Lawrence provides a musical backdrop to the entire album with his menacing bass thumping throughout. Occasionally he peeks out from his cloud of clamor for songs like “Too Bad” and “Cop and Go,” and in those moments there is a perfectly captured feeling of angsty oneness that is truly a sight — or sound — to behold.

In “Be Still,” Fertita powers through his

The Dead Weather’s latest record is a skillful depiction of the talents of a multi-talented group. riffs while White pounds his drums in a way that almost suggests a musical duel between the two, yet with neither in complete defeat or dominance.

It is this attitude that summarizes what The

Dead Weather is all about: Showcasing the idea that four influential musicians can come together and create a unified sound, while still showcasing the individual expertise of each person. And it works. My god, it works.

Comics Aren’t Just for Nerds Anymore

An author’s best bets to get your online comic fixes

When I was a kid, like 10 million years Linda Norland ago in the ‘90s, Spectrum Staff comics were the realm of superheroes and the Sunday funnies.

“Garfield” and “The Far Side” graced the comic section of almost every American newspaper. Meanwhile, the nerdiest teenage boys and girls flocked to stores to get their latest Marvel fix.

Then, the Internet rolled around.

The comic industry has since exploded.

Webcomics accompany articles, appear in our Pinterest feeds and have entire websites devoted to helping budding artists share their work.

They cover almost every genre you could imagine, from slice-of-life to action to horror. And I’m willing to bet there is at least one out there perfect for you.

xkcd

This is one of the most widely known webcomics out there, created by Randall Munroe, who used to work in robotics at NASA. His comics often feature scientific situations with a sarcastic twist.

This statement on his website says it all: “Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults) and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).”

I’m a liberal arts major, and I still think it’s funny. You can find more of his comics at xkcd.com.

Battle Dog

A cute drawing style and an even cuter story combine to make this adorable comic about a warrior girl

and her puppy companion.

Hosted through Tumblr, which makes it easy to follow, readers will love the quirky comedy and zany plot twists. While it may be on hold for now, there’s plenty of excitement to catch up on already.

Get in on the action at the webpage, battle-dog.tumblr.com.

The Oatmeal

Be wary of this one, for it’s definitely a time trap. The mix of illustration styles is interesting, but the humor is what is really on display here. A bit rude, a bit crude and definitely funny – find it at theoatmeal.com.

Tapastic

This website and mobile app is a fabulous resource for both readers and creators.

Artists can create comic series easily and connect with both other artists and readers.

It has everything from kawaii – Japanese for cute – manga-style series to classic Sunday funnies-esque strips. Creators can even

incorporate SoundCloud music and gifs into the mix to make it a multi-media experience.

Readers can donate money to their favorite artists, too, a great way to foster creativity in a difficult field.

Some of my favorite Tapastic series are “Sarah’s Scribbles,” “Fail by Error,” “RANDOMPHILIA” and “Another Slice.”

These are all slice-of-life stories, often with a hilariously fantastical twist.

Others are more long-form, like “Year in Hereafter,” which is about a college student in Finland who travels to his relatives’ farm for an internship, only to discover magical happenings are afoot. It combines detailed artwork with great storytelling.

Whether you’re looking for an intense read or just something quick to pass the time, Tapastic has you covered.

...for Downtown’s Newest Gallery, Workspace Main Avenue arts space caters to wide demographic Tessa Beck

Features Editor

As the Fargo-Moorhead visual art scene continues to feverishly expand, it has been made clear that it can still make room for new spaces and contributors, literally.

Make Room will serve as a platform for both emerging and established artists, as well as a community space for events and workshops.

Chelsea Thorson, the gallery’s founder and director and North Dakota State graduate in architecture, finally has a space to house her varying artistic endeavors and passion for teaching.

In opening the space, Thorson credited her boss at Atomic Coffee for prompting the search process for downtown locations.

The 130-year-old former basement of the Dakota Business College on Main Avenue fit the bill.

“I feel that if I put everything I have into this space, it will all come back to me,” Thorson said. She stressed the importance of the Fargo community’s support.

Although Make Room serves normal gallery functions, the focus appears to be predominantly classroom-oriented. With nearly 15 workshops and events scheduled in the month of October, Thorson hopes to cater to a variety of demographics through functional gatherings.

Thorson noticed the desire within others to teach, but who were unfamiliar with the process of hosting events. After hosting 100 classes in 2015 alone, Thorson knew she could bridge the gap, providing the adequate space existed.

In artist selection, Thorson wants to avoid pigeonholing her choices to any certain demographic or media style. Make Room’s first two shows have featured

Make Room’s historic underground space is being revitalized into workshop, event and visual art space.

emerging talent, but Thorson mentioned the possibility of established retired artists or students looking to do work that falls outside traditional showing norms.

Shows thus far have ran monthly, which conveniently aligns with Thorson’s goal of artists hosting classes during their designated exhibition month.

“The hard part for me is finding the right artist who really wants to teach,” Thorson said, “I think people do, but I don’t want to be nagging them about it.”

Make Room’s first show, “Critter Drawings,” featured large-scale charcoal drawings from Emily Swedberg. October’s show, which opens Friday, highlights the printmaking work of Madeline Murnion.

The opening reception is free and open to the public, and goes from 7-9 p.m.

Make Room’s branding holds sentimentality in the personal nature of the typography, and the relative struggle Thorson experienced while making the final name selection.

The font is taken from a sketchbook Thorson completed at age four. She traced the novice handwriting onto velum with her favorite name choice, Make Room. It reads as comforting and simple, which accurately describes the space to which it belongs.

In terms of short-term goals, Thorson hopes to have a consistent flow of teachers and guests through her space. Artist selection holds a certain amount of short-term weight as well.

“I’d also like to find some really great artists that haven’t been shown yet.” Thorson said, “To find some secret, hidden artist in Fargo who are going to knock people’s socks off.”

To keep up with Make Room’s class schedules and openings, visit the gallery’s website or Facebook page.

Shine Bright Like a Bison

In her third year with the Bison, Teschuk has rewritten record books Karson Sorby Staff Writer

Realizing her true talent and passion for running early in her high school career, junior cross-country and track and field studentathlete Erin Teschuk has made great strides since starting at North Dakota State.

Starting out as a short distance runner, Teschuk, a Winnipeg native, has been able to adjust and use her talent and drive to stand out in both indoor and outdoor track and field events, as well as cross-country.

For any college athlete, the transition from high school athlete to college competitor is something that takes plenty of work and dedication.

For Teschuk, it’s something that she continuously tries to improve on.

“It’s been a process every year trying to add different things to my training routine,” Teschuk said. “I’m running more mileage than I was in high school.”

Through all of this hard work, Teschuk is able to compete in not only crosscountry races, but also in the mile run (an indoor track event) and the 1500 (an outdoor track event).

And her favorite race: the steeplechase.

As successful as she has FILE PHOTO | THE SPECTRUM been in past years, she’s Erin Teschuk didn’t compete in the SDSU Classic this past weekend, but the record-breaking only getting better. runner needs rest once in awhile.

“Last year was a

Week Six of Fall Sports Pace Maier Sports Editor

I love when I see a gorgeous lady and smile at her, but I hate when they look at me, freeze, drop everything they were holding and run away from my direction.

I love that I can have a semi-decent conversation with Siri, but I hate that we still can’t edit tweets.

I love Sports Bar on a Sunday night, but I hate that my mother most likely thinks a little less of me every Monday morning.

I hate that my readers probably only read the first four sentences of this column, but I love that they are at least literate.

What I love in week six The best part about homecoming isn’t crowning the king and queen; rather, it’s the Saturday afternoon football game against University of Northern Iowa.

We all remember last season when the North Dakota State went to Cedar Falls, Iowa and lost to the Panthers 23-3 with the only points coming from Adam Keller’s leg for the Bison.

I love that NDSU hosts UNI on homecoming because it’ll be a fabulous time for the Bison to give the purple and gold payback from last year.

The Fargodome might even see a special guest attend the game this weekend: former UNI quarterback Kurt Warner (I may or may not be kidding about this).

On Sunday, the women’s soccer team takes on Summit League opponent University of South Dakota, and according to the record books, this game should be won by ... the Bison.

The first time these two teams played it was 1999, and I was six years old living in Idaho. NDSU leads this series 8-1-1, and I love that the Bison get to play this conference match at Dacotah Field because I think the Herd has a great shot at winning this match.

The Bison will travel to Colorado to play Denver University on Friday, and two days later the Fargo team will be back on its home turf trying to capture its ninth win against the Coyotes.

What I hate in week six I hate that the Bison volleyball team plays Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis on Saturday, especially with the team’s recent record against IUPUI. The first time these teams played was in 2006, and until 2012 the Bison were 12-0 against the Jaguars.

Something changed and the Bison lost both conference matches that year. A year later, IUPUI shutout NDSU six sets to none.

IUPUI gave the same beat-down again in 2014.

There is a chance that the dreadful streak may end this week for the Bison, but I hate that the first conference match-up between the two teams has to be played in Indianapolis.

I also hate that there is a chance ESPN’s famous show “College GameDay” may be coming back to Fargo. And before everyone gets upset just read these

next few sentences with an open mind ... at least try to please. The Bison are good, everybody who has a peanut for a brain knows that, but “College GameDay” is supposed to be a treat ... a special sweet treat.

The last two falls, Lee Corso and the gang have hosted the college football show downtown Fargo.

Some colleges or universities haven’t even experienced “College GameDay” (cough, University of Minnesota) and yet some town in North Dakota has hosted the 28-year-old show twice.

Trust me people the third time isn’t the charm in this equation.

The first time the show came to Fargo, I was ecstatic and couldn’t believe it was actually true. I stood in line all day; night and morning just like other Bison faithful. I was in the third row. My parents said they saw me on the television (which was probably a lie) but I believed them anyway.

And then the second time the show that’s built by The Home Depot announced they were coming back I got a little less excited, but I didn’t stand in line for half a unicorns year, I woke up, had my coffee and watched it on my television.

And there wasn’t anything wrong with that because the first time was the best time and I was in the third row for it.

I’ve drank my four monsters to stay awake for the Saturday early morning show, but three times in four years? There’s nothing special about that.

Love/Hate is a weekly column that is published every Monday.

Other North Dakota State teams traveled to Brookings, South Dakota this weekend, performing well, as well.

Men’s Cross-Country

The men’s cross-country team finished 2nd in the SDSU Classic. Three Bison finished in the top 10.

Freshman Elliot Stone finished third overall, clocking in at 25:38.48.

Senior and reigning Summit League Athlete of the Week Brendan Skime took fifth place with a time of 25:41.62.

Redshirt freshman Derek Warner rounded out the top 10 for the Bison by finishing in ninth place, completing the course in 25:54.63.

Sophomore Cameron Roehl finished in 12th for the second time this year.

After running in his first

breakthrough time for me last year, especially during cross-country season,” Teschuk said. “My goal for each season is to begin even better than I began the last one in order to improve.”

This goal has allowed her to break records and improve more and more each year.

Choosing to come to the United States to compete at a collegiate level, mostly due to the opportunity to run against the best of the best in the NCAA, Teschuk has still had the opportunity to compete for her native country.

Last August, she ran for Canada in the steeplechase event at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics in Beijing.

“It was definitely a whole other level of competition, but there is also a lot of top competition in the NCAA,” Teschuk said. “This makes us more comfortable competing against the best of the best.”

After taking a short break to recover from the events in Beijing, Teschuk spent a few weeks training before deciding it was time to make her 2015 racing debut.

With expectations to run a comfortable, moderate race, Teschuk was surprised to find herself winning the Stanford Invitational while setting an NDSU record at the same time.

“I wanted to race conservatively and just feel good about it, so I’m really happy to have that kind of mark early on so

it’s something I can keep working on,” she said.

One person who was seen Teschuk develop into a successful collegiate runner is her distance coach Andrew Carlson.

“I’ve just tried to provide an environment that allows her to take the sport very seriously and allow her to work as hard as she wants to,” Carlson said. “(Teschuk) has done the rest on her own with all of her passion, drive and energy.

“I just try to create an environment where she can do all of those things and stay healthy and focused.”

As well as being a topnotch runner, Carlson also described how the other runners look to Teschuk as a leader because of her work ethic and amount of focus and energy brought to each and every practice.

Carlson is sure that this star runner will be successful this season as well as beyond the collegiate level.

As for Teschuk’s personal goals, she is sure of what she wants and is willing to put the work in to get there.

“I want to put myself into the NCAA Championship,” Teschuk said. “And have a shot at winning that race.”

She also said long-term goals, like spring’s track season, are important.

If history is any indication, not only will these goals be reached, but there will also probably be some additional records broken along the way.

collegiate race, freshman Matt Lundstrom improved from a 139th finish last week to a 15th place this week. He finished in 26:20.82.

For the second consecutive week, the men’s host school won the tournament. South Dakota State had 26 points and NDSU finished considerably behind with 44 points, but claimed runner-up honors.

The next race will be at the University of North Dakota Ron Pynn Invitational in Grand Forks on Oct. 17th.

Brittany Brownotter led the team, finishing third overall. That is the first time in Brownotter’s young career she was the Bison’s top finisher. She finished the five-kilometer course in 17:45.95.

Junior Taylor Janssen was only seven seconds behind Brownotter. Janssen finished in fourth place, clocking in at 17:52.99.

Freshman Kayla Huhnerkock finished 16th overall, finishing in 18:58.88 minutes. Sophomore Jenny Guibert finished 18th overall in 19:04.62. Junior Tarin Lachowitzer was the final scorer, finishing 20th with a time of 19:08.53.

Host SDSU took first with 35 points while the University of South Dakota finished in second with 40 points. NDSU rounded out the podium with 56 points.

Women’s Cross-Country

The North Dakota State women’s team took third in the SDSU Classic this weekend.

The Bison did hold junior and reigning Summit League Women’s Athlete of the Week Eric Teschuk and freshman Emma Kusch Dahle out of the competition.

Dakota Marker Stays in Fargo, Again

The Herd wins on the road behind the run

Pace Maier Sports Editor

For the sixth straight year, North Dakota State (3-1, 1-0 MVFC) beat South Dakota State (3-1, 0-1 MVFC), this time by a 28-7 margin Saturday at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium in Brookings, S.D. It was the first Missouri Valley Football Conference game for the No. 3 Bison and the No. 5 Jackrabbits, but NDSU had a dominant

performance offensively and defensively. The Bison recorded 385 yards of total offense and held SDSU to negative four yards on the ground.

The last time NDSU played in Brookings, the Herd “gave up” negative 32 yards rushing.

It was a tail of two halves for both teams, as the Bison cleaned house throughout the first half.

NDSU led 21-0 heading into the locker rooms at halftime before SDSU

tried to rally back into the football game.

Two fumbles by the NDSU offense in the second half gave life to SDSU, but in the end the Jackrabbits couldn’t capitalize on the green and gold’s mistakes.

Senior quarterback Carson Wentz had another big Saturday for the Bison.

He threw for one touchdown on 19-27 passing and 183 yards through the air. Wentz showed his speed running for one touchdown on seven carries

for 54 yards.

The Bison defense was led by its secondary, free safety Tre Dempsey and defensive end Greg Menard.

Menard, a sophomore, had a career-high three sacks, and Dempsey, a sophomore, had six total tackles.

The Bison secondary shut down Jackrabbits star receiver Jake Wieneke.

Coming into the game the sophomore had six touchdown catches, but the NDSU defense held him to

three catches for 39 yards.

The stellar defensive performance was more than enough for Wentz and his receivers.

Zach Vraa had a seasonhigh seven catches for 51 yards and seven Bison players had at least one catch in the conference game.

The first score of the game came from Bison junior running back Kind Frazier, who capped off a 10-play 69-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown.

Frazier finished the game

with 14 carries for 44 yards.

The Jackrabbits only touchdown came in the third quarter after quarterback Zach Lujan threw a 26-yard pass to tight end Dallas Goedert for the score.

The SDSU junior quarterback finished 19-38 for 242 yards and negative 15 rushing yards on four carries with zero interceptions.

The Bison will host its Homecoming game against University of Northern Iowa 1 p.m. Saturday inside the Fargodome.

Bison Split with Summit League Foes NDSU will hit the road for a two-game road trip this week Pace Maier Sports Editor

Day One

The North Dakota State (11-7, 2-3 Summit League) volleyball team lost its first set 19-25 to Summit League opponent University of South Dakota (6-10, 0-3 Summit League), but won the next three sets by scores of 25-21, 25-20 and 25-23 to win Friday’s match.

“We had to earn everything tonight,” Bison head coach Kari Thompson said. “(USD) didn’t give us a ton of errors.”

Senior outside hitter Jenni Fassbender finished the match with a team-high 18 kills, 16 digs and hit .319 against the Coyotes.

Junior middle blocker Emily Minnick had 14 kills on .394 hitting percentage, and Bison teammate middle blocker Emily Miron finished with 10 kills.

Hadley Steffen, the junior outside hitter for the Bison, tallied nine kills and sophomore Brianna Rasmusson had a fabulous night at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhose with 40 assists, 16 digs and five kills.

And junior defensive

specialist Emily Milligan recorded 17 digs, moving her up in the record book to 19th most career digs by a Bison.

NDSU hit over .300 percent for the fifth time this season as the team outhit USD .319 to .287.

Audrey Reeg led the way for the Coyotes finishing with 20 kills.

Day Two

NDSU’s didn’t mess around against University of Nebraska-Omaha (8-8, 3-0 Summit League) during the first set, but two set losses in a row cost the pink-wearing green and gold a Summit

League conference match Saturday at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse.

The Bison won the first set 25-21, but UNO bounced back and took sets two and three 25-23, 25-18. NDSU tied the match at two with a fourth set 25-15 win and the Mavericks captured the conference win after winning the fifth set 15-12 in the Edith Sanford Pink Match.

“I think we really battled,” Thompson said.

“They are a scrappy team, so I think there were some moments we really played hard and where we didn’t

capitalize is when we were ahead and had the lead and had control and let it slip away.”

Fassbender continued her dominance, recording 21 kills, but the Mavericks had too much momentum coming off its second set win.

It was a match where both teams hit a low percentage. NDSU did outhit its opponent .182 to .167 overall.

Milligan finished with a match-high 23 digs and Bison sophomore Mikaela Purnell tallied 20 digs.

Rasmusson finished with

44 assists and 14 digs for the home team.

Mackenzie Horkey had 14 kills for the Mavericks and teammate Sydney O’Shaughnessy collected 46 assists, 17 digs and three aces for the away team.

The Bison will take a two-game road trip this week.

The team will travel to Fort Wayne, Indiana to take on Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne at 6 p.m. Friday.

At 4 p.m. Saturday, the green and gold will travel to Indianapolis to take on Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

Two ACL Tears Present New Challenge for Bison Soccer Lucas, Verbeke out for the season Maggie Crippen Staff Writer

Going into Summit League play, the Bison women’s soccer team looks to improve its winning record and get healthier.

Fighting off the injury bug has been a struggle for the Herd, with two studentathletes done for the year because of ACL injuries.

In the second regular season game of the season, Lizzie Lucas tore her ACL and MCL in the first half of the game against University of Wisconsin in Madison.

“One of their center backs and I collided on a 50-50 ball,” the forward said when replaying the incident through her head. “Along with the ACL and MCL, I sprained my ankle and had a bone bruise.”

Lucas added, “I was

lightheaded and shocked. I felt pain everywhere.”

The mood of the team remains positive although the Lucas injury presents a setback.

“Lizzie is smart and technical,” senior teammate and captain Meghan Johnston said. “She helped a lot during the preseason.”

Lucas scored six total goals last season and earned time in every match for the Bison.

Similar to Lucas, Verbeke tore her ACL — although in a September practice.

“Now that (Verbeke) is going through the same thing, I think I can help her and give her advice with the whole process,” Lucas said regarding her teammate’s injury.

Verbeke played nine games last season for the Bison and scored two goals.

Head coach Mark Cook

said the injuries have hurt the depth of the Bison squad.

“Any time good players are hurt it affects your depth,” Cook said.

Despite these two setbacks, Johnston is straightforward and optimistic about the injuries.

“There’s nothing you can do about it now,” she said.

“You have to move on and work with what you have.”

And the Bison have.

Freshman defender Hanna Norman has replaced Lucas in the starting lineup.

“We are hoping to have no more injuries for the rest of the season,” Cook said.

There are only two more regular season games left at Dacotah Field for the Bison. University of South Dakota comes to town Sunday and Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne will travel to Fargo on Oct. 23th.

Protecting your ride from thieves Bike theft is a crime opportunity.

What is a crime of opportunity?

It’s a crime that is committed when the perpetrator sees the chance to commit the act and seizes the opportunity. In the past three months, the city of Fargo has seen 17 reports of stolen bikes around the NDSU campus area.

Most of these thefts, the bike was locked by chain, lock or cable and was cut.

Thieves are always looking for items that are left unlocked or locked inadequately. To thwart off even the most determined thief, follow these best practices: 

Choose the right lock. Not all bike locks are created equal—tougher is better. Ulocks and heavy-duty chain locks are harder to cut and offer better protection.



Lock the right way. Secure the frame of your bike to a solid stationary object, such as a bike rack or tall metal post. Take one more step and loop your lock through one or both of your wheels—but make sure the wheel is not removable!



Pick the right place. Lock your bike in a visible, central location. At night, make sure the area is well-lit!



Choose the right bike rack. The most secure styles are inverted U, A and post and loop styles which let you lock securely to your frame. They offer two points of contact which offers you more security and stability.



Register your bike’s serial number. Often time stolen bike’s are sold to local pawn shops or found and picked up by law enforcement. Law enforcement uses tools such as searching pawn shop databases and the City of Fargo’s My Property program to cross reference serial numbers of recovered stolen and pawned items to identify the owners.
