Committee NDSU President Dean Bresciani looked to revamp Homecoming organizing in 2012. “Back in 2012, President Bresciani assembled a committee … to take a look at Homecoming,” Jobey Lichtblau, director of admission and Homecoming committee chair said, “to maybe make some changes to Homecoming or explore what opportunities may be available.” A working committee of about nine individuals was assembled for the annual task. “Our committee takes a look at all of these issues,” Lichtblau said. “What we found was in the past was that different campus entities would have different events scheduled.” Many events took place, but a centralized hub was lacking, Lichtblau said. “The focus of our committee was to bring it all together and make sure everyone knew about all of the events,” Lichtblau said. Representatives from every student committee associated with the event act as liaisons to the Homecoming committee. Lichtblau said ample amounts of work have been done in preparation for the parade downtown and subsequent concert. Plans this year are similar to last year’s spoiled events. “We really wanted to take plans we laid last year and worked so hard on and really see them true,” Lichtblau said. Blue Key Show The 2014 King and Queen of NDSU will be declared at 7:30 p.m. Thursday during the Blue Key Homecoming show at NDSU’s Festival Concert Hall. Blue Key President Thomas Peterson said the organization’s main role during Homecoming is to plan the variety show and coronation. Blue Key selects a different charity yearly to donate its fundraised money to. The $5 admission for the show goes directly to the charity. “Each year we strive to top the previous year’s performance,” Peterson said. “Last year we sold out Festival Concert Hall and raised close to $8,000 for Pray for Gray.” “This year,” Peterson added, “we want to continue to provide an enjoyable show for everyone, sell out Festival again and raise even more funds for this year’s charity, CHARISM.” CHARISM is a United Way of Cass Clay partner agency. “CHARISM is a nonprofit in Fargo that helps underprivileged

ending parade-ceasing inclement weather, North Dakota State will hold Homecoming in downtown Fargo after a 32-year hiatus, capping off a week of activities. The annual fall celebration, spoiled by immanent severe weather last year, is forecasted to have highs in the 50s with sunshine. The Homecoming committee, NDSU student government and Blue Key are a few groups in charge of hosting the celebration.

families,” said Tyler Ust, a first-year Blue Key member. “One of their main goals is after-school tutoring. (It’s) a great program (and) a great cause.” Along with after-school tutoring, the Fargo business’ charter said it “addresses poverty in the community by providing youth enrichment programming.” “Getting submerged in this Homecoming week was actually quite fun,” Ust said. “The Homecoming show is really big.” Peterson said he thinks Homecoming is an important event, too. “Homecoming is a unifying event,” Peterson said. “Bison from the past, present and future can come together to celebrate NDSU.” “Fun is a great word,” Ust said to describe the week. “Busy, not the stressful busy – but the fun busy. It makes you involved, you talk to a lot of people, you meet a lot of new people and, of course, seeing the Homecoming show is fun.” Parade and party About 4,000 students commute daily to NDSU’s downtown campus, Lichtblau said. It is unknown how many students will travel Friday afternoon to the Campus Attraction’s Homecoming parade and party downtown. “I hope students have the opportunity to go downtown, especially the students who maybe have never been down there,” Lichtblau said. The parade will feature 124 entries this year. Brat Pack Radio will perform from 7-10 p.m. “I hope it’s big, and I hope students celebrate Homecoming in that downtown environment because it is such a great atmosphere,” Lichtblau said. “It really is the best time to meet your fellow Bison,” Student Body President Sarah Russell said. “(We) share in the community and meet alumni and current students.” T-shirts A crowd wearing yellow is expected downtown and at the game, thanks in part to a T-shirt drive hosted by student government. Russell said it is a large operation. “T-shirts are probably the most time consuming of the tasks,” Russell said. “We have almost 1,000 shirts be pre ordered, and all of those need to be labeled and packaged and ready to go for Monday.” Although the T-shirt design was approved about a month ago by University Relations, shirts came in last week. “That was about a two-day turnover that needed to happen,” Russell said. “(Student government) spent a lot of time in here this weekend making sure that those were all organized and ready to be picked up.” The $5 shirts often sell out before the end of the week, Russell said. “We have a system down from previous years,” she said. “It’s pretty smooth, but it does take a lot of time.”

Unique Nonprofit To Open Downtown
Pace Maier
Co-News Editor
Laura Morris and her husband are opening a heartwarming business Nov. 11 in downtown Fargo. The new retail store, called Others, gives customers an opportunity to connect with the world by shopping for goods. “First, 100 percent of our products are sourced from companies that have a mission centered around education, job creation or public health,” North Dakota State student and Others intern Stephen Appel said. “Second, 100 percent of our profits are donated to fuel our partner non-profit, which fuels
grassroots initiatives in those same three areas both in the United States and across the world.” Others is targeting many demographics to come into the store. The store offers clothing and accessories for women, as well as men’s clothing. “We have some fancy items, but we have many more affordable products too,” Appel said. The business wants to bring in people who want to experience shopping that makes them feel like a part of the Fargo community. Not only does Others sell clothing and accessories, but home goods and gifts as well. Appel said the store will have a variety of different, high-quality products.
NDSU Briefs
The store’s strategy will be a first in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Appel, a junior majoring in business administration, said he dreams of one day creating a business that competes in the same market. Once he heard of Others opening, he contacted Morris and is now an intern for the unique business. “I have a passion for serving others and for social innovation,” Appel said. “(Others) is also important because it is innovative in its design.” Appel said that Morris is a type of person who is stemmed from her passion of helping others and will keep absolutely no profit that
the store brings in. “Once Others covers the expenses, 100 percent of profit is donated,” Appel said. The store will be at 17 Seventh St. S. near Babb’s Coffee Shop and Rhombus Guys Pizza. “The double give-back model of selling mission-backed products and then donating profits is unique, and the retail model provides a level of sustainability that sets ‘Others’ apart,” Appel said. If you are interested in learning more about Others or getting your hands involved in the process, feel free to contact Appel at stephen@othersshop.com.

NDSU Opens Ombudsperson Office
In June, North Dakota State opened the Office of Ombudsperson; however, the main office is under construction. The office helps faculty who are experiencing interpersonal conflict, concerns about supervision and evaluation, harassment, unfair treatment or unfair application of policies and procedures, a press release said. The office is temporarily located on the second floor in Old Main, but the main office will be in the Main Library after construction is finished. A website has been launched for the office by Kristine Paranica, the NDSU ombudsperson. Coaching, advisement, mediation and conflict resolution are some of the services the ombudsperson office offers, as well as training, education and group facilitation. These services are available to any faculty on NDSU’s campus and other persons working in academic affairs. Meetings are held in the Memorial Union, NDSU Library or a location requested by the visitor. To set up a private meeting please call Paranica at 701-231-5114 or email her at kristine.paranica@ndsu.edu.

The Town-and-Gown Connection Homecoming parade newest element in a budding bond between NDSU and downtown Fargo Connor Dunn Features Editor
Not many people are happier with the North Dakota State’s recent success than the businesses and people of Fargo. The athletic and academic success of the metaphorical gown, or NDSU, has not only brought the university to the next level as a Division I school, it has also given a new life, a new look and national attention to the bustling downtown area. On Friday, downtown Fargo will welcome NDSU’s Homecoming parade with open arms. After a one-year delay due to inclement weather, the parade will be back to its 1922-1982 home through the heart of downtown Fargo on Broadway. The parade, which is put on by Campus Attractions,
is merely one of the many recent connections NDSU has made with its city’s historic birthplace. Three newer buildings devoted solely to NDSU students and two straight years of ESPN’s “College GameDay” have left a growing streak of green and gold on downtown Fargo. President and CEO of the Downtown Community Partnership Mike Hahn said he was thrilled at what NDSU and the downtown community are doing together, and he’s welcoming a new era focused on NDSU students. “NDSU has a big presence downtown,” Hahn said. “We have Barry, Klai and Renaissance Halls. We have a structured transit system between campus and downtown through MATBUS. We have a lot of students who live downtown and use downtown as their place for cultural and entertainment venues.” From 1982 to 2000, NDSU had strayed away from its relationship with the downtown area. Then

Downtown Community Partnership has been focused on building a sense of place, or a combination of things that makes a place special and unique. They are finally seeing the fruits of their labor, especially on ESPN’s national television broadcast and with the Homecoming parade. “Downtown provides a strong sense of place. It’s where people identify with the rest of the community,” Hahn said. He keyed in on three aspects of downtown Fargo that can benefit NDSU. “Downtown is the economic barometer, a reflection of how the economy of the community is doing,” Hahn said. “If the downtown district is wellkept, occupied and full of vibrancy, then people and even prospective students automatically look at the city and say it’s a vibrant community and vibrate region. “Downtown Fargo also offers an urban feel.

NDSU alum and Kilbourne Group founder Doug Burgum purchased the recently closed Northern School Supply building on NP Avenue, which was scheduled for demolition. He donated the building to the NDSU Development Foundation, and NDSU’s first step back into the downtown scene was made. That footprint on downtown Fargo has grown ever since for NDSU, and it took a massive leap forward when ESPN decided to host “College GameDay” on Broadway in 2013 and another show in 2014. “The ESPN people loved the Bison fan base and their loyalty to the team,” Hahn said. “They really liked downtown Fargo, because it provides them a unique aspect, kind of like a New Orleans Bourbon Street feel. With the iconic Fargo Theater marquee, people on the roof and out on balconies and everyone packed in on Broadway, downtown was the perfect place to host ‘College GameDay.’” According to Hahn, the

opportunities students have through NDSU and the colleges of business and architecture to intern and integrate into our business community.” Hahn touched on the entertainment aspect of downtown and the newest addition to their NDSU repertoire, the Homecoming parade. “When you have a parade, you want to be in the heart of the community where it started and have an iconic feel with historic buildings like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade right in the heart of downtown Manhattan,” he said. Sherri Schmidt, the senior director of engagement at the NDSU Alumni Association, sees the move downtown as a fresh look and a more open invitation to the community. “It’s going to be great not only for our alumni, who have become familiar with our new facilities or had spent time downtown when they were students, but also for the community,”

she said. “We’re reaching out to the general person who is living in the FargoMoorhead area to come join the Homecoming parade and concert.” The concert, which is new to this year’s Homecoming events and will follow the parade, features Brat Pack Radio, a Minneapolis-based band. “The concert provides a great opportunity to have alumni find their friends and reconnect and simply keep the energy downtown going,” Schmidt said. Hahn hopes the concert serves as a forerunner for future student events in the downtown area.

Homecoming is Not What it Used to Be Why Homecoming is a thing of the past Caleb Werness Opinion Editor
Homecoming: a time for celebration and school spirit to fill the autumn air on campus. Pride and excitement for the upcoming football game build up more and more until the game on Saturday. Alumni come back and celebrate alongside the current students, cheering toward a common goal of victory. Seems like a beautiful picture and it was, twenty or so years ago. From its origins in 1911, Homecoming was intended to bring back the alumni and celebrate the upcoming game. Often there were parades and events to commemorate the celebration. Today, it has become an excuse to party and get belligerently drunk. Drinking on campus, regardless if the campus is a “wet” or “dry” campus, is a fact of college. Students have freedom away from home and many seek out the party life. I have attended North Dakota State for years now. In my time here, I have seen three types of people. There are those who do not drink or party, those who will go out and party occasionally and lastly, those who party hard every weekend. Over the years, I have seen people from each of those groups throw down drinks in the name of Homecoming. What makes Homecoming cover all excuse to go out

and get drunk? The celebration designed to create good clean fun for the students and the alumni, now it is a week to party excessively. To clarify, I am aware there are people who have fun and participate in the events without the use of alcohol to make “everything more enjoyable.” On the grand scope, though, Homecoming creates an environment that encourages reckless behavior, especially at a school as large as
ours. I feel the essence of Homecoming’s origins have been lost. With football games sold out nearly every week, it would be interesting to see how many alumni actually are able to get tickets and attend the game. At a smaller school, I am sure Homecoming is a much more accessible event, but on our sizable campus I figure it has be difficult. I don’t know if anything can be done about the issue of so many students getting
drunk in the name of school pride and Homecoming. The partiers will always party, and that is a given. But I am curious to find out why Homecoming week instills a mentality in so many students to go out, party and get drunk. Taking part in the events of Homecoming is a great way to enjoy the week and celebrate school spirit without getting wasted.
The Rules of the Road, Like Them or Not So many types of drivers expected to share the same road Nathan Arel

Some people are liberal, some conservative, others anarchists or radical Harry Potter fans. But no matter where people fall on the vast spectrum of opinions the world holds, they may all agree on one, unified ideal: Everyone hates traffic. This is not to say that people do not enjoy driving, many do. There is nothing quite as satisfying as driving 55 mph on barren residential roads in the middle of the night. But traffic is different. Traffic is the state of being in your car with other cars around you, and everyone hates this. Different people hate traffic for different reasons: the jerks who speed hate
traffic because the vast majority everyone is of crashes occur holding up their “I frequently wonder how many of those at speeds under 40 day, the idiots ‘jerks’ are speeding ahead of us because mph. who go 10 they are inconsiderate and how many Aside from this miles under the fact, I frequently are speeding ahead of us to get to the speed limit hate wonder how many traffic because hospital because they are missing the of those “jerks” birth of their first child.” all the jerks are are speeding ahead speeding ahead of us because they of them and the are inconsiderate, people quaintly and how many are following the law hate everyone else who is speeding ahead of us to get to the hospital either being a jerk or an idiot. because they are missing the birth of their The people who consistently drive first child? the speed limit seem to be the majority of Regardless, I would argue that the slow people on the road and everyone’s favorite drivers are by far the worst. When they driver, but the other two cause a vast, mutual drive under the speed limit, it creates a chain disgust for all things road-related.

drivers, when really they are simply making some of us miss the birth of our first child. What really turns my gears is the thought of how police officers must feel about this situation. They are forced to sit back all day and watch the bumbling masses turn a perfectly peaceful mode of transit into the Thunderdome (or the Hunger Games, for those of you who are under 40 years old) all the while pondering how trivial this issue is in the long run. I like to think traffic cops sit in their cars all day just praying for a four-way, headon collision or that the bum who they pull over for driving one mile over the speed limit has a couple of bodies stashed in their trunk, just to shake things up for the day. You think you are annoyed when getting a ticket? Imagine how the officer feels about your burnt out tail light. They had to get a bachelor’s in criminal justice and go to the police academy for that job.
Labor and Immigration Need to Work Together Why the labor movement is the key to comprehensive immigration reform Eric Thibert
Contributing Writer
If there’s any group of people in the United States who could benefit from the power of union muscle, it’s undocumented workers. Abysmal wages, dreadful working conditions and rampant abuse by exploitative employers are the reality of daily life for the millions of people living in this country without the protection that comes with legal recognition. Consequently, we should recognize immigration as an issue related to labor and encourage unions to take an active role in the fight for the rights of immigrants. It’s difficult to define where organized labor as a whole stands. Richard Trumka, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the largest union federation in the country, has come out in favor of amnesty. Teamsters president James P. Hoffa applauded California governor Jerry Brown for signing a bill that will protect temporary workers from abuse by their employers. While these progressive positions are quickly being adopted by national leaders,

and Hispanic workers were affiliated with such organizations. Now compare this with the Department of Homeland Security’s “Estimates of the Unauthorized Immigrant Population Residing in the United States: January 2012,” which revealed that all of the top ten countries of birth for unauthorized immigrants are in Asia and Latin America. Clearing navigable paths to citizenship for immigrants from these countries would bring labor a step closer to fixing its homogeny. Lastly, by adopting these progressive goals, organized labor will reconcile itself with the Democratic Party, which has become increasingly centrist over the years as its union base continues to weaken. Labor unions are expected to stand in solidarity with all workers, regardless of their nationality or status within the eyes of the law. With such a massive portion of our working population suffering from injustices at the hands of abusive employers — injustices that labor had long ago driven out of the workplace for the vast majority of people — the responsibility of unions is to turn their attention to addressing the core problem lending to this trend: the catastrophe that is our immigration policy.

Charlette Moe conducts the University Chamber Singer in rehearsal on Oct. 3.
Variety is the Spice of Choir Haitian carol to jazz to folk spiritual on showcase in threechoir concert Jack Dura A&E Editor
Three of North Dakota State’s five choirs come together for a roundup this weekend that is set to showcase a musical variety. In 75 minutes, the University Chamber Singers, Cantemus Women’s Choir and the Statesmen of NDSU will each present a concert of their own selected arrangements. Pulling together over 140 student
singers among these three choirs, the Fall Choral Concert is an excellent outing to see the skill and might of NDSU’s singers. This concert is also a remarkable opportunity to hear a globe-roaming range of songs and styles. Charlette Moe, director of the University Chamber Singers and Cantemus, notes the exceptional broadness of selections in her choirs’ repertoires. “We’re doing everything from a Haitian carol to a very serious text about a World War II pilot being shot out of the sky and being buried at sea,” she said of the chamber choir’s repertoire. Meanwhile, the 65 women of Cantemus
have their own variety of arrangements, from a jazz piece to a Jane Austen text, among others. “We’re having quite a few solos,” Moe said, “a spiritual, ‘Still I Rise,’ and that text is taken from Maya Angelou who passed away this last summer. We’re doing that in tribute to her, and we’re doing another really cool folk spiritual, ‘Poor Wayfaring Stranger.’” Michael Weber, who directs the Statesmen of NDSU, also touched upon the eclectic variety of this concert and what it offers. “We’re doing men’s choir standards ... we’re doing some contemporary pieces ... we’re doing spirituals,” he said. “It’s a variety of styles,
we have soloists in one piece ... some of the music has piano accompaniment, some of it is a cappella.” In years past, all five NDSU choirs have come together for a concert, but this grouping was spliced for length reasons. Instead, the Madrigal Singers and Concert Choir had their concert on Oct. 5, and the Chamber Choir, Cantemus and Statesmen were scheduled for Sunday. No collaborations are scheduled this appearance, and though nearly 150 students will be on stage at some point, they never come together as one. “Some people come because they want to hear men’s choir, some people come because they want
to hear a women’s choir or some people come because they like mixed choral music,” Weber said. “We pretty much run the gamut of specific types of choirs.” The next time the five choirs come together will be in December for Handel’s “Messiah” with the Baroque Chamber Orchestra and featured soloists. In March before spring break, this weekend’s three choirs will be slated at the same time again, but with the Concert Choir joining them. Separately, the Statesmen will have a May concert before Dead Week with a Bismarck conference and tri-college men’s choral festival highlighting the spring for them. Cantemus
will see a women’s choral festival in February. For this weekend, the Fall Choral Concert is an opportunity to hear the voices of the ‘14-’15 Statesmen, Cantemus and Chamber choirs as they take their audience on a trip through styles and variety to start another year.

Editor’s Choice: What to Do This Homecoming Weekend Inside or outdoors, campus community covers it all Jack Dura A&E Editor
Though the school week is almost over, North Dakota State’s Homecoming week is still in full swing. Events line Thursday through Saturday night, with other campus activities continuing through the weekend. Support your fellow Bison — whether
students, staff, faculty or alumni — and mingle with the campus community this Homecoming weekend. Thursday: Homecoming Show and Coronation Thursday is the last day to buy tickets for the Homecoming Show and Coronation sponsored by Campus Attractions and the Blue Key Honor Society. Be amazed by the variety of talents and skits on hand in this, the 38th annual Homecoming Show. Two of the 12 royalty candidates will be crowned king and queen at the 7:30 p.m. event,
so come out and support this Bison tradition for the low price of $5. Tickets are available in the Memorial Union. Friday: Homecoming Parade in Downtown Fargo While last year’s Homecoming Parade was canceled due to inclement weather, 2014 returns this homecoming mainstay to vibrant downtown Fargo, its home for 60 years. The 5:30 p.m. parade will include the Gold Star Marching Band, the Homecoming king, queen and royalty and

‘VIVID:’ a Vibrant, Visual Experience Current exhibition at the Plains Art Museum a must-see Megan Johnson
Contributing Writer
Become inspired by viewing the current art exhibition “VIVID” at the Plains Art Museum. The show contains the work of two successful artists, Seth Chwast of Cleveland, Ohio, and Dietrich Sieling of Minneapolis, Minn. The reason for this show containing the works
of these two select artists is due to two commonalities: creating bright, wonderful art work and because Chwast and Sieling were both diagnosed with autism at a young age. A challenge in communicating feelings and ideas comes with autism. However, with the artwork of these two artists, they are able to create beautiful work and communicate in ways that would be quite difficult without this outlet. Though the artwork of these artists is similar in the fact that they are vivid
with bright colors and bold shapes, they are also quite distinguishable. Chwast primarily paints, but he also experiments with many mediums. He titles his pieces very descriptively, yet one work entitled “Two Iguanas,” an oil on canvas painted in 2009 is what it appears — a painting of two iguanas. At a closer glance it becomes obvious that the iguanas are each made up of hundreds of perfectly square multi-colored scales that could only be created with extreme concentration and submersion of the artist
into his work. Sieling’s work is distinguishable because of his use of colored pencil and graphite, and the use of no title or titles that seem to be quite personal. “Untitled (Dog Park),” a 2013 colored pencil and graphite piece, is an image of a dog park. Sieling transforms something that seems to be an ordinary scene, a dog park, when he perfectly repeats the image of what appears to be dogs according to the title. There is also the incorporation of text in
many of his works. In the case of “Untitled (Dog Park),” it appears to portray warning signs someone may see at a dog park. One sign reads, “Stop! Criminals maybe watching you now remove your businesses.” Through his works, it seems he is depicting his life experiences through his own eyes and how he sees and feels things in different situations, making him able to communicate with others around him. Experience “VIVID” and see the unique works of Chwast and Sieling. There
are many more pieces with unique imagery that pull in the viewer and cause a vivid learning experience through the communication of these two talented artists.

Western Illinois defenders bring down North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz Saturday in Macomb, Ill. NDSU came close to being one of the top-ranked Missouri Valley Football Conference teams to be defeated last weekend.

Any Win is Solid in the Missouri Valley NDSU’s conference loaded with talent, spells rough road ahead Colton Pool Sports Editor
North Dakota State football was one trick play and a hypothetical tough overtime period away from losing its first game since the 2012 regular season. Down 10-3 to Western Illinois in Macomb, Ill., the No. 1-ranked Bison didn’t look like the same team that dominated its way to an undefeated year in 2013. It didn’t even look like the unquestionable best team in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. But that’s life when you’re in the MVFC – every team has a potential to win on Saturdays. And this Saturday, Southern Illinois will have a chance to knock off the Bison (5-0, 1-0 MVFC) in their Homecoming game in the Fargodome. “In this league, however, you get (a win), you take it and run,” NDSU head coach Chris Klieman said. “We’re going to take them for how we get them.” The Bison’s 29-game win streak could seem like a tight rope getting thinner and less easy to balance on with every step forward. With each game comes the higher
Andrew Rieckhoff Contributing Writer
Men’s cross country The North Dakota State men’s cross country team raked in a first-place finish Saturday at the South Dakota State Classic in Brookings, S.D. The team checked in with 39 points while preseason Summit League favorite SDSU was second with 48 points. Lucas DeGree led NDSU by finishing the 8-kilometer course third overall in 25:26.51. SDSU’s Brendan Sage won the race individually with a time of 25:23.95. Bison runner Brett Kelly crossed the finish line fifth with a time of 25:31.23. Mary Joyce registered at 11th in 25:50.12.
probability of a loss. NDSU might lose a game in these coming weeks, and it probably won’t even be to a highly ranked team. That’s not because NDSU will overlook anyone, but rather because it’s tough to win when every game on the Bison’s schedule is a test. Even Incarnate Word posed a challenge because ESPN’s “College GameDay” was back in town to provide distraction. But as of right now, the Bison are focused on that next step rather than what’s at the end of the rope. “Every week is a new week in the Valley,” Klieman said. “Whether you win a game or lose a game, you’ve got to be able to flush that out and move ahead.” And as evidenced by the 17-10 win the Bison secured off a John Crockett touchdown late in the fourth quarter against WIU, there are some roadblocks in sight. “We’re going to have to be able to grind
some of those games out,” Klieman said. Part of that grind is the result of an identity change. The Bison uncharacteristically gave up 253 rushing yards to the Leathernecks and now have to face SIU’s Malcolm Agnew, who is averaging 6 yards a carry. “There were a couple times we overpursued on a couple cutback runs,” Klieman said. “We need to fix those problems before we start game planning.” Where NDSU relies solely on the run, the Bison have a quarterback in Carson Wentz who has strutted astronomical potential. Wentz may have thrown three interceptions but has completed 66 percent of his passes for 1,040 yards and four TDs. It also helps that he is getting more comfortable with the offense, Klieman said. “Carson Wentz is emerging into a star,” Klieman said. “He’s got unbelievable poise in the pocket. He took some shots on Saturday and delivered some strikes.”
But things haven’t been easier for Wentz without home run-threat Zach Vraa, who has been battling a foot injury since tallying 1,191 receiving yards last year. His absence may also make things harder for a Bison offense struggling to convert on drives when within 20 yards of the end zone. The Bison have to score touchdowns to keep up with MVFC offenses. “The field just flat out shrinks on you (without Vraa),” Klieman said. “It’s something we’ve got to improve on.” The Salukis offense features senior tight end MyCole Pruitt, who Klieman said has NFL potential. Pruitt has 549 receiving yards, six TD catches in six games. SIU (5-1, 2-0) also has a 3-4 defense which brings quarterback pressure from anywhere – 13 different Salukis have rounded up a sack this season. “They’re off to a hot start in the Valley,” Klieman said. “Now they have to go on the road. We hope our home field advantage plays a factor.” But the last two Bison losses have come to MVFC opponents at the Fargodome. The setting doesn’t really matter. NDSU has to keep plugging ahead to stay undefeated and on top of the rankings. “We’re going to have to grind it out,” Klieman said. “You are who you are after five games. “This is the football team we are. We’re going to have to grind things out offensively and defensively.”
Brendan Skim was 13th overall with a time of 26:11.47. Brant Gilbertson was the final Bison finisher at 14th overall in 26:11.63. Women’s cross country Despite running with only a partial squad, the NDSU’s women’s cross country team took fifth place Saturday at the South Dakota State Classic in Brookings, S.D. Minnesota won the team race with 19 points. Senior Abbi Aspengren led all Bison runners by running the 5-kilometer course in 18:38.41 to place 14th overall. UM’s Becca Dyson won the individual race by running in 17:32.90. Taylor Janssen was the second Bison runner to cross the finish line. Janssen
placed 24th overall by running in 19:04.26, a personal best. Paige Stratioti, a Bison track and field All-American, also ended with a personal-best 19:21.14 to check in at 34th overall. Jenny Guibert placed 59th overall at 20:13.92, and Darian Winslow was 64th overall after running in 20:25.75. Volleyball NDSU volleyball took to the road against Summit League opponent Nebraska-Omaha Friday. The Mavericks dropped the Bison in four sets. The Bison dropped a closely contested first set, 25-23, but were able to bounce back with a strong second set win, 16-25. NDSU
fell in the next two sets with 25-13 and 2517. Emily Miron led the Bison with 17 kills and two blocks. Jenni Fassbender was the only other Bison to register double-digit kills with 10. Emily Milligan played a strong defensive game on her way to racking up 19 digs. With the loss, the Bison dropped to 6-11 on the season, but moved up to 7-11 and 2-3 in the conference with a home win Sunday against Western Illinois. The Bison will continue its Summit schedule at Denver Friday.

LGBTQ Programs Celebrate Pride Month, SCOTUS Decision BY BENJAMIN NORMAN

Events planned for rest of month as more states legalize same-sex marriage
L
GBT Pride Month is celebrated in October nationally as well as at North Dakota State. The university hosts celebrations throughout the month, including personal story seminars, stand-up comedy and a Tri-College Drag Show. The events coincide this year with the Supreme Court’s decision Monday to stop hearing additional gay marriage cases. Indiana, Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma and Wisconsin will soon allow same-sex marriages. Although North Dakota is not immediately affected by the ruling, festivities will be held at NDSU regardless. New York City-based comedian and college speaker Robin Cloud will feature the university’s events at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 23 at the McGovern Alumni Center Atrium. “She is going to share her experience coming out as a teenager,” said Regina Ranney, the diversity program coordinator at NDSU. “That’s going to be a formal, but humorous talk.” Celebrations happen throughout the month, centering on Coming Out Day on Saturday. “The more LGBTQ events we have on campus, the more it makes our students that identify as LGBTQ feel welcomed and part of the community,” Ranney said. Students may feel more comfortable to be open with themselves, especially with the inclusive events, Ranney said. This may make people feel more open toward those who identify as LGBTQ. “People around them learn that a sister, a brother or best friend can identify as LGBTQ,” Ranney said. “Knowing people who identify as LGBTQ makes people be more apt to be allies.” Kara Gravley-Stack, NDSU director and diversity initiatives coordinator of LGBTQ programs, said she applauds the Supreme Court’s decision. “I think it is good the Supreme Court is allowing states to make some of these decisions in the cases of same-sex marriage,” Gravley-Stack said. “I am disappointed that

North Dakota’s initiative wasn’t included in that (decision), but that was already addressed at the state level.” Other states moving to legalize same-sex marriage is important, Gravley-Stack said. “Even though we are not seeing significant changes in terms of legalizing gay marriage in the state of North Dakota, I think when (we) see it in other states, that is progress,” Gravley-Stack said. “Even if it’s not directly progress here yet, it is changing the landscape.” Gravley-Stack credits today’s young people to the changes. She believes millennial’s do not see same-sex marriage as taboo as older generations. “I think the Millennial Generation is the generation that is going to change this,” Gravley-Stack said. NDSU has done a good job including the LGBTQ community in campus life, Gravley-Stack said. “I think NDSU has been a progressive leader with LGBT policies and practices,” Gravley-Stack said. “As a university, we amended our nondiscrimination statement to provide protections on the basis of sexual orientation, I believe, back in the ‘80s.” Ranney echoes Gravley-Stack’s words. “I feel like NDSU is specifically trying to make strides in bringing programing that is supportive of LGBTQ students,” Ranney said. She included LGBTQ matching through Residence Life and Safe Zone training as examples, along with future plans, such as the possibility for gender-neutral restrooms to be implemented in the new STEM building. “There are still a lot of areas where there needs to be progress, but it’s a start,” Ranney said. Gravley-Stack agrees. “There are still things that we need to do,” Gravley-Stack said. “Sometimes just having things in policy doesn’t mean somebody isn’t experiencing having negative experiences ... NDSU is doing a good job to the extent that it can.”

Ebola Spreads to U.S., University System Stays Vigilant Cause for alarm still low; public should be informed BY BENJAMIN NORMAN
A Liberian from Dallas has passed away after coming into contact with Ebola while traveling in disease-stricken West Africa. The man is the first U.S. patient to contract Ebola and bring it back stateside. Although the breech may alarm Americans, the North Dakota University Systems, the North Dakota Department of Health and North Dakota State have not observed any reason for universities in North Dakota to feel endangered. “We are still being as vigilant as we possibly can on screening and monitoring,” College of Pharmacy, Nursing & Allied Sciences Dean Charles Peterson said. “We have found no problems within the campus.” On Monday, the NDDoH sent an invitation to video conference with the NDUS institutions to update and inform the public.
“While no cases of Ebola have been identified in North Dakota, the department remains vigilant about preparing in the event Ebola is diagnosed within our state,” the release said. “We’ll take action according to what the guidelines that have been suggested to us if that does occur,” said Peterson, chair of the Ebola planning task force, although the disease has spread worldwide. Peterson said the chance of a North Dakota resident being diagnosed with Ebola is “extremely low,” but people need to be mindful of the disease. “I think our greatest tool to address this is awareness, education and monitoring.” The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been setting guidelines institutions across the nation should follow.
“As a result of that, I think there’s been a whole lot more awareness and understanding,” Peterson said. “The fact that people are asking questions – which is very appropriate – we just need not to panic.” If Ebola was to further spread in the nation, which is unlikely, Peterson said, the U.S. would be better equipped at handling the disease. Pearson also mentioned health care facilities and personnel would help isolate and contain Ebola. “Ebola, even though it is very lethal when contracted, is very difficult to contract; it’s very difficult to spread,” Peterson said. “And that’s in our favor.” On Tuesday, the Obama administration said it wished to strengthen screening of travelers coming from West African countries.
Individuals showing symptoms who wish to travel in West Africa are not allowed to do so, Peterson said. “We are monitoring admissions, which should come as no surprise,” Peterson said. “We have not found anyone that has caused us to have to monitor or do any screening. “Nothing has changed related to our status, our strategy and our current state related to if this is an issue,” Peterson said. The stigma of Ebola is damaging people as well, but there should not be fear of students who come from these countries. “These (affected) countries that have students here, we want them treated with the utmost degree of respect,” Peterson said. “We need to make them feel welcome.”

The Living Learning Centers will be renamed the Mathew Living Learning Centers Saturday.
Former NDSU VP to be Honored by Living Learning Center Name Change NDSU Residence Life director to give welcoming remarks Pace Maier
Co News Editor
The Living Learning Centers on North Dakota State’s campus will be renamed in honor of Prakash Mathew, who worked for the university for a total of 34 years. At 9 a.m. Saturday in the lobby of the Living Learning Center West, the longtime former vice president of student affairs will be honored. “This is the most humbling experience of my life. I have never experienced anything like this,” Mathew said. NDSU Residence Life director Rian
Nostrum will be giving the welcoming and closing remarks, a press released said. “(Mathew’s) leadership and vision shaped the concept of the Living Learning Centers. After his long, distinguished service to NDSU, his presence will remain throughout the renaming of these residence halls,” Nostrum said. Sometimes Mathew wonders why he deserves this type of honor. “If they feel like I have made an impact ... I simply want to say thank you at this time,” Mathew said. He served as the vice president for student affairs for more than eight years, while leading the Division of Student Affairs. He helped provide services to students in 23 departments and programs with 370 benefited employees and a little more than 850 student employees. “When this was announced last spring at the closing ceremony for the student
government and Robbie Lauf got up there and was thanking people and I was kind of listening ... and all of a sudden I thought I heard my name, and I thought maybe he is thanking me because I was an adviser,” Mathew said. “The next thing I know was everybody standing up and kind of looking at me with a standing ovation. “They were all looking at me and I literally almost fainted ... my heart stopped and I just lost it completely,” Mathew said. The renaming of the buildings in honor of Mathew was driven by students around the university. NDSU Student Senate and Residence Hall Association passed resolutions calling for the change, and the State Board of Higher Education gave formal approval in May, the press released said. “Prakash began his career in the residence halls providing direct service to
NDSU students. He maintained that focus throughout his career,” Nostrum said in a press release. The Living Learning Center East opened its doors in the fall of 2003 and Living Learning Center West was opened five years later. According to a press release, the speakers at the renaming event will include: NDSU President Dean L. Bresciani; Sarah Russell and Hilary Haugberg, student body president and vice president; Robert Lauf, Erik Diederich and Jack Burns, former student body president, former student body vice president and past Residence Hall Association president and Mathew, vice president for student affairs emeritus. “I have no idea how I’m going to handle this on Saturday morning, and I hope I can keep my composure,” Mathew said.

Plans for artist Mark Dion’s Fargo Fern Grotto are already in the works.
Mark Dion’s Fargo Fern Oasis Artist plans public art piece to defy winter conditions Tessa Beck
Contributing Writer
The depths of winter in North Dakota offer little more than negative temperatures and bland landscapes. Internationally renowned visual artist Mark Dion is hoping to help Fargo natives escape this dreary banality with his latest
commissioned work for the city — a fern grotto located in downtown Fargo. Dion will be collaborating with architects from JLG Enterprises as well as professors from North Dakota State’s architecture and visual arts programs. The greenhouse creation is meant to be an outward defiance toward the brutal winters. It will be consistently kept at unseasonably warm temperatures; humidity levels will be nearly tropical. Plant life will be naturally in
abundance and will include mostly ferns amongst other warm-weather plants. The interior design is set to have an over-the-top Victorian, bourgeois feel to it. Elaborate crown molding and bright color choices amongst other design elements will highlight this concept. The location is meant to act as an escape, which validates the intricate design and public access. Dion designs his projects based on the unique intricacies of each city. Besides defying the cold,
he also wanted to connect to Fargo’s railroad history. Dion is achieving this in two ways: The fern grotto will be housed in the interior of a repurposed rail car and will be located on the lawn of the Great Northern Bicycle Company, a former train station. Overall, the Fargo Fern Grotto is a majorly progressive step for the city of Fargo to invest in public art. As Dion mentioned during his lecture at the Plains Art Museum, “Communities that invest
in art and education during times of surplus will always have something to show for it when the money’s gone.” Dion has shown work in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Tate Modern, amongst other topnotch museums and gallery spaces. Other successful publicly commissioned works include The Nurse Log in Seattle, Wash., a Mobile Gull Appreciation Unit in Folkestone, U.K. and a Cave Bear in the fjords of Norway to name only a few. Dion is lucky enough to
possess the skill to do both small-scale, museum-level projects, as well as enormous outdoor projects. His work combines art, anthropology, history, biology and other educational mediums in order for his vision to be successful. The Bush Foundation and Artplace America are also showing support in making the Fargo Fern Grotto happen. Construction is set to begin in the fall of 2015.
‘Gone Girl’ Goes On ... and On Highly-hyped film adaption a long-winded, noir thriller Alana Nelson
Contributing Writer
“Gone Girl” opens with a scene of quiet, idyllic suburbia, a morning so undisturbed the eeriness sets in right away. It’s Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary, but weary Nick (Ben Affleck) is already down at the bar when he runs with his sister. The viewer knows his wife is going to be reported
missing, but it doesn’t stop the film from being able to jar you at every turn, ripping you from the stillness and into a 124-minute frenzy where classic film-noir meets modern-day thriller. Director David Fincher was rife with material for his adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel, and he revels in the social commentary beneath the surface whodunit. The film is a mediation on marriage and, separately, the media and takes a scathing view of both. The film unfolds with flashbacks, allowing the viewer to assess Nick and Amy Dunne’s history
through Amy’s (Rosamund Pike) journal and voiceover narration. Both Affleck and Pike are stunning in their portrayal of a dissolving marriage. Amy’s character is especially fleshed out, but both she and Nick are nuanced enough in the flashbacks that viewers will have a hard time figuring it all out. And that’s what Fincher does well here — frustration and secrets mingled with mundane realities such as job loss and credit card debt never felt so heavy. It’s no spoiler to acknowledge the media quickly turns Nick into public enemy number one.
The vigils, the scrutiny of Nick’s every move and the outlandish accusations of cable news pundits are alarmingly realistic. The way the film portrays the swing of public opinion makes the public out to be gullible fools, eating up incessant news coverage in airports and living rooms everywhere while their minds change daily. But Fincher doesn’t point fingers at the public; the power of the court of public opinion is readily exposed, and the finger is pointed at the media instead. While the first half clips along between the unfolding mystery and flashbacks at a
smart and steady pace, the last half dips into soap opera territory. No, not dips. Fully immerses itself. The wry commentary and nuanced acting are nearly eclipsed by one outrageous event after the other. I noticed many in the packed theater begin to shift in their seats by the two-hour mark. The film didn’t get slow. By contrast, the action came faster than ever and one particularly gory scene was graphic enough to bring out a collection of gasps and groans reactionary enough to revive any audience member who may have reached a slump. But the tone of the film near the end
The Spectrum www.ndsuspectrum.com @NDSUSpectrum @ facebook.com/ndsuspectrum
may turn off some viewers. The final scene of the film is cinematic gold, enough to warrant forgiveness for the frustration the film caused in second half. Like a duplicitous lover, “Gone Girl” deserves to be discovered.

Don’tcha Know?: Debatable in North Dakota Sites in Rugby, Fort Ransom could use a closer look Jack Dura
Spectrum Staff
In North Dakota, local pride is found nearly everywhere. Every city seemingly has something of their own. For Jamestown, it’s the albino buffalo. In Fargo, it’s the film notoriety. Washburn is near Lewis and Clark’s Fort Mandan site. Residents of Rugby are no different. Their civic pride comes from a point on the map found nowhere else in the world. Rugby, you see, claims to be at the geographical center of North America. Now there’s something to hoot and holler about. Being at the exact center of a continent? You betcha. However, this claim has come into scrutiny over the years because, c’mon, there are a lot of logistics going into determining this. First you’ve got to think about the boundaries of North America — north, south, east and west. Where are they? What are they? What are their longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates? With that, we’ve got to do some ugly math with coordinates and numbers and degrees, but let’s sweep past all that and get to the topic at hand: Where the hell is the center of North America? It’s in North Dakota, that’s fer sher. There’s no debate there. But where in North
Dakota? Some say Rugby, exactly Rugby. In fact, an obelisk raised in 1932 marks the supposed spot. Others say the point is just miles outside of town. Another source says the true center of North America is six miles west of Balta, a town of 66, just south of Rugby. Could a field outside Balta be it? It’s hard to say, but it’s a lot more likely than Rugby itself, which is a little more of a romantic location for the center of a continent than a windswept plain. Who would stop and see that? As much as my heart is with the Balta position, I gotta side with the U.S. Geological Survey’s statement that, “Because there is no generally accepted definition of a geographic center and no completely satisfactory method of determining it, there may be as many geographic centers of a State or county as there are definitions of the term.” So there we have it. There may not even be a geographical center of the continent, but for over 80 years, Rugby’s laid claim to it, and I say let ‘em have it. Every city needs something. Fort Ransom has its own site of interest too, though it’s not marked on the map. It’s Pyramid Hill, a peak outside of town that has been the subject of debate for decades. Could Pyramid Hill be one of the world’s oldest manmade pyramids? According to a sign near the site, locals believe it is, with one local historian citing a few reasons for this claim. “The mound is not a true pyramid, being 650 feet long and 520 feet wide. It is approximately 100 feet high, level on top with the north, west and south sides of uniform slope. While all the other hills
Pyramid Hill in Fort Ransom is locally believed to be one of the world’s oldest manmade pyramids.

But back to the hill itself. Geologists have tried to quash the local claim that ancient peoples from 5,0009,000 years ago constructed a pyramid, but area insistence persists. Specifically, the top third of the hill is what is considered to be manmade, but the evidence is lacking for both sides. It’d sure be something to have one of the planet’s oldest pyramids in North Dakota, but that’s just a tad too romantic. Pyramid Hill, however, just goes to show how much local pride the Fort Ransomians have, as much as is found anywhere in North Dakota.
along this valley have many rocks and huge boulders, this mound is free of rock except for two flat stones laid on top of the northwest and southwest corners,” wrote Snorri Thorfinnson in 1975. The peak of this hill is topped with a rather crude metal work made in the image of a stereotypical Viking. Clutching a spear, handlebar mustache bristling and suffering greatly from effects of the elements of the last 40 years, the Pyramid Hill Viking is a local pump of Scandinavian pride. It certainly lends itself to exhaustive hikes for selfies.
Free Tuition in ND for New Students POLITICAL CHUCKLE:
Denise Luttio
Contributing Writer
Free college tuition in North Dakota? Sounds great! However, the way it sounds, if you’re almost done with college or have thousands in outstanding student loans, too bad. A new bill being pushed right now in North Dakota’s legislature could waive college tuition for students meeting a certain criteria. Not that I don’t think that is wonderful, but it makes me wonder how fair it is for those of us already in school. Representatives claim it would be based on need and GPA. With tuition costs going up every year, scholarships, federal loans and grants are the only ways students can afford college. Professors and academic advisors urge students to make college a full-time job because of the concentration needed for a full course load. For some of us, however, school has to be our second full time job. I know plenty of people, myself included, who work 40 hours a week and go to school full time just to make ends meet and lighten

the student loan burden. I fully support the idea of free or reduced tuition based on merit and financial need, but what about when I am done with college? There is a saying that timing is everything. If I had waited to go back to school, would I have gotten all of my schooling for free? This has a chance to blow up in the faces of the people who aren’t college freshmen. If it goes through and new students get this deal, there is going to be a lot of resentment on the minds of those who have lived here all their lives, gone to school here, currently work here and pay taxes here who see no benefits of the oil money. They are talking free and reduced tuition while our property and income taxes stay steadily high. We don’t want to rush and spend all of our hard-earned money at once, but with billions of dollars in surplus, I am pretty sure they can cut me a tax break or two. Our representatives have a good idea, but I hope they can find a way to make it fair for those of us who pay taxes and are already drowning in student loan debt.

Carson Wentz celebrates after securing a touchdown catch on a halfback pass against Western Illinois last Saturday in Macomb, Ill.

NDSU Stands Out, SDSU Falls in MVFC Power Rankings Unpredictable weekend calls for conference ranking reboot Joe Kerlin Staff Writer
Like a frazzled a n d hungover freshman, I woke up Sunday asking myself one question: What the heck just happened? Just like Bo Wallace managing to not stumble against Alabama, this past Saturday was full of unimaginable performances in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. South Dakota State’s early turnovers led to a clobbering
from Illinois State, while No. 10-ranked Northern Iowa let one slip away against a suddenly relevant Indiana State team. North Dakota State narrowly escaped the same fate as its fellow heavyweights before a trick play and stout defense held Western Illinois at bay. The first bloody slate of Valley games ended with one remaining team in the top10 rankings, but six more in the top 25. Conference parity has led me to say goodbye to last week’s list and introduce a second installment of the Missouri Valley Power Rankings. Super heavyweight: North Dakota State The Bison survived Western Illinois’s bestshot Saturday by handling
numerous special teams mistakes with poise and relentless defense. The Bison weren’t supposed to win that game in Macomb, Ill., but they did. An FCS record 29game winning streak was extended Saturday against all odds. That’s why I have created a new “weight class” to single out the habitual winning the Bison can’t seem to snap. Quarterback Carson Wentz flashed greatness by seamlessly keeping plays alive, and he even hauled in his first touchdown reception from a beautifully run halfback pass. If Wentz keeps playing at a high level, the Bison will be impossible to dethrone. Heavyweights: Southern Illinois, Northern Iowa,
Youngstown State The Bison are on upset alert this week as SIU (5-1, 2-0 MVFC) comes to the Fargodome looking to spoil Homecoming weekend. The Salukis are led by running back Malcolm Agnew, who leads the Valley in rushing yards and is tied for a conference-high 10 touchdowns. Welterweights: Illinois State, South Dakota State, Indiana State, Missouri State Illinois State’s stock is rising faster than any other team in the Valley. They rank first offensively in the conference with 49 points per game and rank first defensively, only allowing 7.8 points a game. But coming off an impressive clubbing of SDSU, I’m still
not sold that ISU deserves to be considered in the heavyweight division of the Valley. The Jackrabbits turned the ball over three times in the first quarter Saturday on the way to losing 4510, the worst defeat in the short time in the Valley. ISU raced out to a 38-3 lead by halftime, eliminating Zach Zenner’s effectiveness in the second half, and with Austin Sumner still sidelined with an injury, the Jacks stood no hope for a comeback. What’s on the surface isn’t the reason why I still don’t trust ISU to stay on par with their play through the first four games. ISU goes on the road for the first time this week to play an Indiana State team
that’s made a complete 180 turnaround from last year. The Redbirds will also play UNI, YSU and SIU for three of their last four games of the season. If they can squeak by with only a blemish or two on their schedule, I’ll start to pay closer attention. Featherweights: Western Illinois, South Dakota The Valley will continue to be the conference to watch for as the playoffs approach. With more chaos looming this weekend, the Valley will be more unpredictable than ever with teams fighting for a highly-coveted bid into the FCS playoffs.
NDSU Volleyball Beats WIU 3-1 Before Long Road Trip Fassbender leads Bison with seasonhigh 21 kills Pace Maier

The North Dakota State volleyball team fell behind early but rallied and beat Western Illinois 3-1 Sunday afternoon at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse. Junior outside hitter Jenni Fassbender led the Bison with a personal season-high 21 kills in NDSU’s fifth Summit League game of the season. “Once Jenni gets going NDSU’s Hadley Steffen goes for a kill against Western Illinois Sunday at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse. and she has that confidence behind her, she’s very hard (7-11, 2-3 Summit League) NDSU took a match-high 20 digs and to stop,” NDSU head coach found themselves up early, commanding 10-2 lead in helped the Bison get the Kari Thompson said. 4-1, but the Leathernecks (3- the second set and never third set win with a score of Bison sophomore setter 14, 1-3) used five blocks to looked back, winning 25-15. 25-11.

The Bison hit an impressive .462 attacking percentage in that set to give them the match victory. WIU finished with an attacking percentage of -0.08 in the third set. Ann Miller led the Leathernecks with 15 match kills. The Bison will get a few days off and will play their
next four matches on the road, starting at Denver on Friday. “It was a great four-set win for us, especially after the week and a half we’ve had,” Thompson said. “Going into a road trip with Denver and Oral Roberts and then Fort Wayne is going to be tough for us, but it’ll be nice to have this week to prepare and really get into a routine again.”

NDSU Soccer Ends Losing Streak Amy Yang’s first career goal ends up game winner Corrie Dunshee Staff Writer
The North Dakota State soccer team rallied late in the second half to beat IndianaPurdue of Indianapolis 1-0 Sunday at Dacotah Field. The win snaps a sixgame losing streak for the Bison (5-6, 1-1 Summit League). Both teams stayed quiet offensively in the first period. Meghan Day, Krissy Kirkoff, Catherine Raster and Alyssa Fox each put up a shot for IUPUI (2-8-3, 0-2) in the first half. Raster’s kick was a shot on goal, which was the only one for the Jaguars. The second period saw the first and only goal of the game come off the foot of sophomore midfielder Amy Yang. The goal came in the 76th minute of the game, with Kinnarath getting the assist. The goal also marks Yang’s first career goal as a Bison. “I knew Anisha (Kinnarath) was going to shoot it, so I went for the rebound and the ball deflected off the defender,” Yang said. “I had the wide open net, and I got really excited. I was going to get a nice goal on the ground, but it deflected off my foot, and it looked like it wasn’t going in. It went in, and I started celebrating.” Yang said it felt great to help her team end its losing streak and it was amazing to get her first career goal out of it. “I know my coach has
wanted me to get a goal for the past couple of games because I have been working really hard,” Yang said. Head coach Mark Cook said the win was important for the team’s confidence, particularly after giving up goals in past games from mistakes defensively. “We’ve always been a pretty resilient bunch,” Cook said. “We’ve had a lot of bad luck recently with close losses and we’ve continued to battle in each game. Today was a pretty tough game for us. It was a real gutty performance and a good win.” Kinnarath tallied five shots while Yang and Hannah Butzlaff each recorded one. Tristyn Walczak and Lauren Miller each had one shot on goal but could not kick the ball through for a score. NDSU outshot IUPUI 17-7. Kinnarath led the Bison with six of her own, followed by Miller with four and Yang with three. Seven of NDSU’s shots were on goal, while IUPUI had just the one in the first period. Eight fouls were committed by NDSU while IUPUI accounted for seven. IUPUI goalkeeper Catherine Schmidt had six saves while NDSU goalkeeper Sierra Bonham had one. Bonham improved to 5-6 and Schmidt fell to 1-4-3. The Bison have just five games left in their schedule and will be back in action 7 p.m. Friday against Nebraska at Omaha (3-81, 1-0-1) in Omaha, Neb. NDSU’s next home game will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 17 at Dacotah Field against South Dakota State.
