No. 1 NDSU Clashes with No. 3/4 Montana Keller hits five field goals to lead Bison to 22-10 win WRITTEN BY SAM HERDER & PHOTOS BY STEPHEN RISK
The first half stat line looked like a dominating performance for the No. 1 ranked North Dakota State football team. The Bison had a big margin in every stat category compared to No. 3/4 Montana, but that did not reflect on the scoreboard. Four Adam Keller field goals set the tone in the first half as the Bison outlasted the Grizzlies 22-10 Saturday in front of 18,890 fans at the Fargodome. Keller finished the game with more field goals than toes on his kicking foot. The four-toed kicker hit five field goals, setting a single-game record in NDSU history. “A couple guys said it’s never a good thing if the kicker is the player of the game,” joked Keller. “But it’s always fun to be able to be a part of the game as much as possible.” The Bison had double the plays, three times the first downs, a 288-162 total offensive yards advantage and held the ball for 20 minutes in the first half. But Montana’s defense played with a bend but don’t break mentality. All five first-half possessions saw the Bison drive down the field at a methodic pace. But Montana came up with stops when they needed to, holding NDSU to four field goals and stuffing Carson Wentz on a fourth-and-1. That left Keller with a busy half, nailing field goals of 41, 22, 32 and 47 yards. “My number was called and I was able to deliver,” Keller said. Feeding off the playoff-like atmosphere, the Bison defense was sharp. But one big play got the Grizzlies on the board. Down 9-0, quarterback Jordan Johnson hit Jamaal Jones for a 72yard connection. Jordan Canada took the next play three yards into the endzone to make it 9-7

at the 10-minute mark in the second quarter. “A couple things we thought we had to do to win the game, we knew it was going to be a fourquarter game,” NDSU head coach Chris Klieman said. “We had to eliminate explosive plays, win on third down and control the line of scrimmage. In the first half, we lost the explosive play battle. They had two big ones on them and that kept them in the game.” But the Bison took back the momentum. NDSU responded with a 10-play, 45-yard drive that Keller capped with a 47-yard field goal. Montana added their own field goal with 52 seconds left in the first half to make it 12-10. “You don’t want to lean on (Keller) for five

field goals, but he was awesome today,” Klieman said. “He was spot on today. He’s kicking with so much confidence.” The second half saw less action on the scoreboard, but NDSU chewed up the clock on lengthy drives and held strong on defense. The lone Bison touchdown came on their first possession of the second half. A 10-play, 57-yard drive resulted in Wentz finding tight end Kevin Vaadeland in the corner of the endzone from three yards out. “We have a great connection,” Wentz said on Vaadeland. “He’s big time for us. Big time tight end, big target and I love throwing to him. He’s always on point with where he needs to be. It was almost a broken play and he found the opening in the back of the endzone and I found him.” Montana had their chance to respond and threatened to do so. The Grizzlies drove down to the Bison 17-yard line, but on third-and-5, safety Christian Dudzik out jumped a Montana receiver in the endzone for the interception. That’s as close as the Grizzlies got. NDSU put the final nail in the coffin with under two minutes left in the game when Keller knocked in his fifth field goal from 31 yards to make it 22-10. The Bison had a 39-minute time of possession advantage and finished the game with 447 yards of offense despite only scoring one touchdown. “You don’t have to score 50 points if you’re going to hold the thing for 39 minutes,” Klieman said. “If you hold it for 39 minutes, you’re wearing them down and that’s what we wanted to do.” NDSU improved its winning streak to 28 games and is 4-0 heading into a bye week. The Bison travel to Western Illinois Oct. 4 to begin Missouri Valley Football Conference play.

Scots Vote Nay, will Stay in the UK Independence vote falls short; NDSU sounds off BY BENJAMIN NORMAN
A 300-year-old union stood firm Thursday as Scottish citizens voted not to separate from the United Kingdom. The referendum showed 55 percent voting against independence and 45 percent voting for it. The vote concluded a drama that has sat on the back burner for years before coming to a boiling point in recent weeks, with polls showing a neardead heat heading into Thursday. Reactions varied around the world and on campus. Why the vote? Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond stood behind his National Party’s stance that the union between the UK and Scotland had run its course. He and pro-separationists cited many factors that should have led Scots to vote “yes,” including Scotland’s North Sea oil and gas reserves. The taxes generated from the reserves would make Scotland wealthier, especially if they did not have to share profits with the rest of the UK, as Scotland does now. “What (‘yes’ voters) really want is a better means of living,” said Bruce Maylath, a professor at North Dakota State who earned his doctorate in English at the University of Minnesota. Maylath, who was interviewed before final numbers were released, said “yes” voters wished for a “better, more stable livelihood,” “And that’s the paradox here. Ironically, in the world today, that depends on stronger and quicker and better ties with other places all around the world.” Too many questions A vote for independence would have cause some uncertainty. Questions included, among other things, whether Scotland would be able to retain the British pound, the UK’s health care system
and admittance into the European Union. UK Prime Minister David Cameron told reporters Friday he vowed to go forward with a “balanced settlement, fair to the people of Scotland — and importantly, to everyone in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as well.”
“On the ground, you saw much more evidence of ‘yes’ support than you did of ‘no,’” Silkenat said. “Yesterday during the referendum, I saw tons of ‘yes’ material. That being said, ‘no’ won in Edinburgh.” Maylath uses an American comparison for those trying to liken the situation to

New Citizens Sworn in at NDSU Constitution Day marks first day of citizenship for 56 Brooke Rambow
Contributing Writer
More than 50 people became American citizens on Wednesday at a naturalization ceremony held in the Memorial Union at North Dakota State. The 56 new citizens and their families gathered for the ceremony, and after a few speeches from university officials, they became citizens. The attendees at the ceremony came from several different countries, Namibia to Norway and China to Cameroon. Somalia was the most represented country at the ceremony with 10 native Somalians becoming U.S. citizens. Loubni Ibrhin, originally from Iraq, was one of the many to take part in the ceremony. She came to the U.S three years ago, leaving after the war. “We lost a lot of people from our family,” Ibrhin said. Ibrhin said that it was exciting to take part in the ceremony. “I like that I came here and felt the same; no one treats me different,” she said. Ibrhin also said she feels accepted here and is very appreciative to be an American. Eunjin Kim came to America as a foreign exchange student from South Korea 13 years ago. She got her doctorate at University of North Dakota and worked at the university following. She said she is grateful to live in the United
States as a citizen. “I feel very responsible. I can vote and be active in our community,” Kim said. Another new citizen was Ana Butler, who is originally from Peru. She said she moved to North Dakota five years ago with her husband. “We met on an island,” Butler said. “I was visiting my sister; he was on vacation. We were both divorced at the time, and he asked me to play volleyball. After that, I fell in love.” Her husband wasn’t the only thing she fell in love with. She also loves the city of Bismarck. “The people there are so friendly. They respect each other,” she said. “My daughter calls it the city of peace.” The ceremony also included the American national anthem, a video recording from U.S. President Barack Obama and NDSU student Briana Moyniham singing “America the Beautiful.” Following the ceremony, attendees and their families took pictures and had cake and refreshments to celebrate the big day. Hailey Goplin, assistant director for service learning and civic engagement, said her department wanted to encourage students to get involved and attend more multicultural events. “We can’t fit ceremonies like this in the courthouse,” she said, “and we wanted to assist the community while opening our own doors to celebrate.” Goplin also said they have always done something for Constitution Day, but this year they thought that a Naturalization Ceremony would be the best way to commemorate the special day. Goblin said she was very grateful NDSU could host this event. The next ceremony will take place on Constitution Day next year, most likely at NDSU.
The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, a program that educates students about abortion, is bringing their Genocide Awareness Project to North Dakota State Monday and Tuesday. The GAP is a large photomural display decorated with images of historical genocide and abortion, what they consider contemporary genocide. A team of anti-abortion volunteers is standing by the display to discuss the images. CBR’s philosophy is “America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion.” The GAP display has been shown over 200 times at nearly 75 universities and a multitude of urban areas in the United States.
NDSU Paychecks Stolen Online
A phishing scam has cheated eight North Dakota State employees out of their paychecks, the North Dakota University System said Friday. NDUS reports the incident occurred during the last payroll cycle, tricking some employees via email to “verify” their information. The victims then give out their PeopleSoft passwords. The university has recompensed the victims, NDUS said. Currently, NDUS has disabled the employee self service component of direct deposit. “The employee self service component of direct deposit is currently disabled to prevent any further phishing schemes,” Lisa Feldner, NDUS’s vice chancellor for institutional research and information technology wrote in a message sent out to all NDUS students and faculty. “If you need to make any changes to your direct deposit information, please contact your payroll department.” More than 290,000 current and former students and employee in the NDUS server were affected this winter by a security breach. This story is ongoing.

Downtown Parking at a Premium Students have almost nowhere to park, but officials say use the bus Josh Francis
Head News Editor
Students who take classes at one of North Dakota State’s three downtown buildings do not have many options to park their cars. The university offers no student parking at their downtown Barry, Klai or Renaissance Halls. Parking is available for staff and faculty only. Businesses downtown say students parking in their lots has become problematic. NDSU recommends students do not park downtown at all and rather use the bus system, which is free for students. Students like Katilin Anderson and Joel Rosnau, both business management majors who only take classes at Barry Hall, have limited options when it comes to parking. They can either park at the main campus and bus to downtown or try and find one of the rare open spaces on side streets. Paid parking is also an option but costs too much for most students. Anderson said she used to pay for a T-lot parking pass and ride the bus to the downtown campus. Since she only has classes downtown, she said the school should have some options for students in similar situations. Anderson said she parks on side streets but has to closely watch the clock so she doesn’t get ticketed for violating 90-minute
parking limits. She said she has already gotten two $15 parking tickets this semester and more than 10 in the past four years. NDSU officials: Use the bus NDSU’s top transportation official said using the area bus system is what the university has always encouraged students to do. Renniassance Hall was NDSU’s first downtown building to host classes, starting in 2004, and Klai and Barry Halls in 2008 and 2009, respectively. “The intent has always been that students should utilize mass transit (MATBUS) to get to and from the NDSU campus to the downtown locations,” said Brit Stevens, NDSU’s transportation manager. “If students do not live on campus, they are also able to ride MATBUS in the F-M area free of charge with a valid student ID.” Stevens said downtown parking is at a premium and renting out spaces in the area might be cost prohibitive. “Parking in downtown Fargo costs $50 to $68 per
month or $500 to $816 per year,” he said. “An academic year parking permit is $185 or $15.42 per month to park on the NDSU campus.” Stevens said NDSU hasn’t approached businesses about renting their spaces in his short time as transportation manager and said he didn’t know if anyone had done so in the past. The bus isn’t the most convenient option for all students, though. Rosnau said he now parks at the Fargodome and rides the bus to Barry Hall. Bus rides from the Fargodome to the downtown campus can take more than 30 minutes. Hayley Peterson, a junior business management major who lives in Niskanen Hall, said she too rides the bus but said downtown parking for students should be an option. “It’s like any other campus, and I think we should have (parking) here,” she said. Peterson said students used to park in the lot of a former Taco Bell but developers have since fenced the building and its parking off.

Private parking lots Students who can’t find parking on a side street often park in one of the business lots nearby. Businesses like The Northern Gentlemen’s Club and Sons of Norway said it’s problematic when students take up their already limited parking, but they try to warn students before they resort to towing them. “The last thing we want to do is to tow a college student,” said Nick Ferholz, the Northern’s general manager. The Northern, at 325 10th St. N., shares a lot with Casey’s General Store and Elim Lutheran Church nearby, and they say during the first two weeks students are warned with flyers on their cars to not park in their lot or risk being towed. Ferholz said the number one day he requests students not park in the Northern’s part of the lot is Friday when they have a popular lunch buffet. He said he has gotten complaints from customers who said they avoided the
business because there was no parking available. “We don’t want to tow, but there’s we have to operate as a business and we have to have parking from our business,” he said. Ferholz said he has tried to contact NDSU about the issue. “I made attempts to contact the school when it first opened, but unfortunately they never addressed it,” he said. NDSU has received many complaints from businesses about students parking in their lots, Stevens said. If a student is towed, there’s nothing the school can do about it. “NDSU Parking and Transportation has no ability or authority to prevent this from occurring,” he added. Sons of Norway, which operates the Kringen Lodge at 722 2nd Ave. N., also has problems with students parking in their lot. Barry and Kali Halls butt up against Sons of Norway’s parking lot, which only has 57 spaces. Dan Haglund, the lodges vice president, said they too
warn students before they tow. At the beginning of the school year, Haglund said there’s a real problem. They write warning notes and keep track of license plates. If someone is constantly disregarding their no parking signs, a student’s car will be towed. Haglund said there are times when students can park in their lot, and they won’t get towed. After 5 p.m. on most days, no one checks the lot, he said. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, however, the lodge has events at night, and Haglund said students shouldn’t park there at those times, especially. Parking permits for the Sons of Norway lot is included with membership to the organization, which costs $47 per year. That is cheaper than buying an NDSU permit or paying $1 per hour at nearby lots. But the lodge says memberships are for people who want to participate in activities. “We don’t want people to just buy memberships to park downtown all day,” Haglund said. The club has more than 1,300 members, and it serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily. Weather makes it worse Anderson and Rosnau said when winter comes, the parking situation gets worse. Rosnau said when snow banks pile up on streets, vacant parking spots are instead occupied by snow. The spots covered in snow are already at a premium, and only students who arrive early in the morning are able to snag the precious spaces.

Jon Lipp is responsible for every student organization at NDSU as the Executive Commissioner of the Congress of Student Organizations.
Student Organizations and the CSO Progress for the Congress of Student Organizations Connor Dunn Features Editor
Junior Jon Lipp is a member of Delta Tau Delta, Blue Key Honor Society, University Democrats and Students Today Leaders Forever. He’s additionally thinking of joining the service fraternity Alpha Tau Omega, but that’s not all. Lipp is also the Executive Commissioner of the Congress of Student Organizations, the office of Student Government responsible for every single student organization on and off NDSU’s campus. In his first few months in the position, Lipp has made significant progress in modernization and accessibility of CSO, especially through presence on the course management site Blackboard. “In the old days, all of the organizations
would meet as a group to discuss issues and make requests,” Lipp said. “That’s not how we do things now, because we’re almost at 300 organizations. It’s not really feasible anymore. Now, CSO is the umbrella of all of the student organizations and the resources that are available to them.” Lipp does serve as the Executive Commissioner, but a commission composed of students, both senators and at-large members, is the driving force behind CSO. The commission has the power make any changes to current groups, create a new group, remove an old group and more. If a student wants to form a new group, they can email Lipp to get more info and to set up a meeting with the commission, which can grant temporary or full status to the new organization. Student government serves as the administrator and financial advisor to all of the organizations to make sure organizations know what they can and cannot do. The Office of Public Relations works with the Listservs to help organizations with their marketing.
BY MADISON SCHILL & PHOTOS BY KATIE ANDERSON
To those of you not native to the upper Midwest or North Dakota in particular, I must warn you: It’s going to get cold. Midwest natives know this is the time of the year when we pile on the puffy coats, hop into a pair of jeans, and, for girls, swap our sandals and flats for boots. We’ve learned by now never to trust the forecast and to always be prepared to battle a blizzard or sweltering heat. If you’re like me, however, you also have a hard time stuffing your warm-weather clothes in the back of the closet. A little part of my heart breaks every year when I fold up my sundresses and hide them away until the sun comes out again. The hardest item to put away for me, though, would most definitely have to be my Toms. My Toms are my comfort shoes. I have this belief they go with anything and everything I wear, and so I wear them with anything and everything. The down part about canvas shoes like these though is that they offer little to no protection from anything cold or wet. In North Dakota, this is a problem. Luckily, according to a pin I found, it may be more convenient than I thought to keep my Toms (and any canvas or cloth shoes) around for a few more months. The pin showed me how to waterproof my shoes at home, using only beeswax and a hair dryer. That’s right, only two things are needed to keep your favorite shoes around a while longer. Hair dryers are not difficult to find; if you’re a girl, you or your roommate are likely
to have one, and if you’re a boy, either call up your mother or knock on a friendly neighbor’s door and you’re set. Beeswax, on the other hand, is not so easily found. Have no fear, though; I was able to find it at Fargo’s Hobby Lobby (though I do recommend you find a smaller package. The brick was excessive.) The directions are simpler than the ingredients. All you have to do is rub the wax all over your nice, clean cloth shoes (preferably cleaner than my old and sadlooking Toms), melt the wax over the shoe using your blow drier, and let the shoes set for five minutes before testing their waterproofness. With such simple steps, you think this method would have a surefire positive outcome — at least that’s what I had thought. It turns out that this may not be the best DIY method for waterproofing your shoes. Maybe my shoes were not clean enough, maybe the beeswax was too big and solid, or maybe I did not try hard enough to rub the wax on the shoes — who knows? This may be something I revisit in the future, provided I find a smaller and less costly hunk of beeswax. All I know for sure is my Toms are either going to be soaked through this winter or hiding in my closet till May.
However, one of the main goals of the CSO is getting students comfortable with using Blackboard for organizations, which Lipp said has had a few hiccups along the way. “That function is still updating every day, which has complicated things a little, but ultimately, when everything is finished, it is going to be so nice,” he said. “Right now, we’re in an awkward transition from the old data to the new data and finding a way to present that to students, but once all that comes together, students will have more information about all of the student organizations at their fingertips than ever before.” The idea of accessible information for students and student organizations is the driving force behind the transition to Blackboard from the old CSO site OrgSync. Students can now go on Blackboard, and as long as they have completed the mandatory Blackboard track training, they can look at the full list of every organization NDSU has. “The reality is a lot of NDSU’s organizations don’t even know how much
is available to them through student government, the Union, through various groups on campus,” Lipp said. “I really want to boast education and awareness of that, so students are maximizing their opportunities and potentials with these groups.” Another goal for CSO is doing everything they possibly can to have every single student on campus involved in an organization because of the many benefits of being part of at least one group on campus. Lipp stated the groups are a great networking tool for finding new friends and surrounding yourself with likeminded people. For Lipp, his involvement in all of his groups has created personal and professional relationships, which he believes is a really important part of the college experience that helps with personal, social and holistic development. “The key to getting involved as a freshman or any year student is finding the groups you want to join, and that’s what we’re working on to make that information as accessible as possible,” Lipp said.

Roger Goodell: Public Enemy No. 1? Denise Luttio
Contributing Writer
Is Roger Goodell becoming America’s newest Public Enemy No. 1? I am a huge fan of the NFL, but lately, it’s hard to show them any respect. Amidst child abuse allegations, domestic assaults, dog fighting, illegal gambling, “bounty” hunting, rape, even murder, the NFL is starting to look more and more like a 1930’s mob syndicate instead of an entertaining entity filled with people we can look up to. NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell is the terrifying mob boss that doesn’t seem to have any scruples until there is public backlash against him. I can’t even express how disappointed I was to hear that Adrian Peterson admitted to disciplining his child with a switch. He is among my favorite players. Even though he hasn’t been convicted of child abuse, we have already convicted him. Originally suspended, the Vikings reactivated him for a few short days before public outcry and even a statement from Governor
Mark Dayton changed their minds. Guilty until proven innocent? Perhaps. Even though I don’t necessarily
the face of the Earth. Has he chosen to go into hiding until the outrage is gone? Good luck.
“The NFL is starting to look more and more like a 1930’s mob syndicate instead of an entertaining entity filled with people we can look up to.” agree with it, when you’re as big of a star as Peterson, I am not sure there can be any other choice these days. I want to know where Goodell has been. It’s almost as if he has fallen off
The public wants answers. Why isn’t there a clear-cut policy in place? It seems as though they are making up disciplinary actions on the fly, only after being caught right-handed.
With as bad of a track record as most professional sports seem to have, why can’t they come up with some way of dealing with crimes and allegations? I am not holding my breath, but if Peterson turns out to be innocent, I think we will all be putting our feet in our mouths. If there was some policy in place to deal with things like this, the public wouldn’t have to dictate what happened to the athlete while an investigation was ongoing. This is a time for the NFL to take charge and implement policies. It’s
time to stop covering up wrongdoings and take responsibility. Goodell needs to stop acting like a mob boss protecting his personal interests. He needs to step up, do the right thing and enact some policies that will stop the public lynching of athletes while still producing justice for the victims. Suspend them, sure, but let them have their due process. It shouldn’t be cherry picking which athletes are suspended and which ones aren’t and letting the public decide their fates before the courts do.
Abortion Amendment Disaster The proposed legislation that will ruin the debate Eric Thibert
Contributing Writer
Let’s talk abortion. Well, abortion amendment. This November, North Dakotans will be deciding the fate of a proposed legislation called Measure 1. If passed, it would amend the state constitution to say, “The inalienable right to life of every human being at any stage of development must be recognized and protected.” This amendment couldn’t be repealed or amended for at least seven years, except by a two-
thirds vote in the legislative assembly. Unlike initiatives put on the ballot by voters who go out and get signatures, Measure 1 is a legislative referral, meaning it has been introduced by the state legislature. Some entities, including ND Choose Life, have enjoyed making the point that SCR 4009 (as the amendment was called when it was winding its way around Bismarck) received bipartisan support. Indeed, out of both houses, three Democrats sided with the GOP in adopting SCR 4009 after the second reading. The opposition was far more mixed however, as 23 Republicans voted against it. Unfortunately,
this impressive show of bipartisanship wasn’t enough, as the all-powerful Republican supermajority can hardly ever be defeated by anything but itself. That’s another issue though. As with all policy debates, this one comes down to semantics, and as a constitutional amendment, the Measure 1 text is so poorly written that we’re undoubtedly going to spend years in the courts trying to establish a precedent for interpreting it. Measure 1 is clearly intended to ban abortion in all cases, but its obvious ambiguity opens up a range of interpretations that go far beyond abortion, as constitutional law experts are already struggling
to list all of its potential effects. Proponents have admitted that Measure 1 could hurt end of life care by nullifying living wills and “do not resuscitate” requests. The legality of certain forms of birth control would also come under question, and doctors performing in-vitro fertilization are sure their practice will be shut down if the amendment is passed. Supporters are clearly willing to accept vast amounts of collateral damage for the expediency of their cause. At the center of their plan is the state government, which will be making all of the important decisions and inserting itself into the private
relationships that patients and their families have with healthcare providers. This is where the conservatives join the liberals. Unfortunately, many people feel that their ideology or position against abortion compels them to vote for this amendment, regardless of how structurally flawed it is. I blame reckless and irresponsible figures in the legislature and certain churches who have used the “abortion” and “prolife” tags to incite support for a measure they know our pragmatic electorate would not otherwise pass. A proper political atmosphere wouldn’t have voters sacrificing practical
concerns for religious dogma. Voting against this amendment won’t actually say anything about a person’s beliefs regarding abortion or personhood. Instead, it will be an expression of the conviction that we expect quality legislation, and not the kind of shortsighted garbage Bismarck has given us this year. Measure 1 represents a unilateral attempt by an overzealous interest to end the abortion debate where it stands, and all people who believe that solutions come through a healthy dialogue find that completely intolerable.
Hybrid Style Game Shakes Up the Norm Will the enormous success of Bungie’s ‘Destiny’ spawn similar games? Caleb Werness Opinion Editor
On opening day, Bungie’s “Destiny” made $500 million in sales. After many years of work and a successful beta test, the video game developer released their futuristic adventure game, which takes on the feel of a roleplaying game using the interface of a first person shooter. It took off running. The developers have already announced two expansions coming in the future. The FPS/RPG hybrid was first notably used in cartoon-like game “Borderlands.” So the
mash-up genre is not entirely new. “Borderlands” struck up a sizable cult following, yet falls short in comparison to the reception of “Destiny.” Both games have achieved levels of success, which begs to ask if the door has been opened for more hybrid style game. The run-of-the-mill genres may be becoming a thing of the past. As the presence of online gaming continues to grow, many developers are trying to incorporate online features into their games. The standard genres of gaming are starting to run dry in terms of “new things” to accomplish. For example, the Call of Duty franchise has pretty much bled the FPS genre dry. RPG’s are starting to follow a set formula and not a lot of fresh content has been seen in the last few years. “Destiny” proved taking chances and mashing up
two familiar genres can make a fresh feeling game that brings the best of both worlds into one. As the numbers are showing, Bungie’s efforts have more than paid off. Obviously, massive success will breed all sorts of imitations. Like when Call of Duty first came onto the scene, many similar war FPS games came onto the scene.

FIRST AVENUE PROMOTIONS | COURTESY OF
ARTstravaganza is set to celebrate community arts in Moorhead this Thursday.
Extravaganza to Bridge Gap Between Business, Community, Fine Arts ARTstravaganza set to celebrate community involvement and collaboration amongst business and artistry Tessa Beck Staff Writer
The marriage of the words ‘art’ and ‘extravaganza’ can only mean one thing — a lively, creative event celebrating the collaborative atmosphere of the FargoMoorhead area. That is exactly the goal of ARTstravaganza, which brings together live art displays, local food vendors and interactive art stations to Moorhead. First Avenue Promotions is a local screen printing company and is taking their appreciation of graphic art to the public by
hosting the ARTstravaganzafrom 3-9 p.m. Thursday at their business headquarters on 1408 First Ave N. in Moorhead. In an effort to bolster creative interest, a number of local artists will be present throughout the event including Kim Jore from Red River Zen, Nate Ehlers with Unseen Ministries and graphic artist Brittany Appel, to name only a few. Having artists available allows for live art displays, which fosters an environment for a dialogue between the creator and observer. Event coordinator Nels Hunstad provided further insight into the live art display concept, “The artists will be painting, maybe showing a technique or talking about their work. They’ll have some of their prints or work displayed ‌ It will have a little bit of a shop-type feel.â€? Additionally, food vendors Bun Appetit, The Hot Dog Peddler, Milkhaus along with
a few others will be on site to provide their unique (and tasty) products. Another way in which the audience will be engaged in the event is through interactive art displays and tours. The interactive aspect will range from participants communicating with artists, to photobooths and chalk paintings. Tour options will include the new Junkyard Brewery site and the screen printing production area inside First Avenue Promotions. After the success of their Printapalooza open house last year, Hunstad and the rest of the First Avenue Promo crew wanted to utilize their space to create a more community-oriented party this season. With Junkyard Brewery recently opened next door, activities can range from adult-friendly brewery tours to a video game lounge geared towards the younger crowd. When asked what type of response he
was hoping for, Hunstad responded simply with, “[I hope to] open up the idea that there’s something going on in Moorhead ‌ There’s been a lot of emphasis on that here, and people are really trying to see some change and positive effects.â€?

Two Similar, Different Artists in One Show
‘VIVID’ highlights artists’ similar stories in new Plains Art show Jack Dura A&E Editor
It isn’t too often a show and setup with a story like “VIVID” comes to the Plains Art Museum. The incoming art exhibition is remarkable in many ways, but perhaps greatest because of its two-artist focus and the backgrounds the unacquainted, unassociated men share. Seth Chwast and Dietrich Sieling are those artists, hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, and Minneapolis, Minn., respectively, and their separate works of color, line and pattern comprise the collaboration that is “VIVID.” Initiated with the suggestion of non-profit organization Fraser, Ltd., to feature the artwork of Chwast, “VIVID” came together when museum curator Becky Dunham brought up Sieling’s work. “We felt it would be a really good counterbalance to Seth’s artwork if we

NDSU’s Bill Carlson Calm, Cool, Collected in Tournament Play Bison golfer consistently improving in senior year Pace Maier
Spectrum Staff
North Dakota State golfer Bill Carlson won his second collegiate tournament Tuesday, shooting a career-best, three-round, four-under 212. Carlson, a senior, is hoping to lead his team to improving on its sixth-place Summit League finish in 2013.
FILE PHOTO | THE SPECTRUM
Bill Carlson wins even when he doesn’t think about it. The senior North Dakota State golfer shot his career-best, three-round score of four under par Tuesday and claimed the the Omaha Invitational individual championship. “I didn’t have the mentality to win the tournament,” said Carlson, who carded a 212 during the 54-hole tournament. “I was just hoping to play some good golf.” NDSU head coach Steve Kennedy said Carlson has developed an overall game, which has proven to translate well to tournament play. “He’s so steady in every part of his game. He’s a great driver of the golf ball. He’s a great iron player and a great putter,” Kennedy said. “He’s just the full package.” Throughout his collegiate career, Carlson has won a total of two individual tournament titles. “(In) the tournament down in Nebraska last week, he had a total of two bad shots I think,” Kennedy said. Consistency has been a factor for Carlson throughout his NDSU career. In his freshman year, Carlson’s scoring average was 77.3. His sophomore year was when he took the big leap. Carlson improved his average score by almost four strokes. Junior year, his scoring average slipped back a bit to 74.9. However, Carlson started this season averaging an impressive 70.7.
Carlson said he needs to keep doing what he’s used to, and he doesn’t need to add any extra pressure to his game. With being one of the only three seniors for the Bison, Carlson has to be at the top of his game at all times on and off the course. “He’s such a good leader,” Kennedy said. “With the younger kids, he makes sure that they are all included and makes it fun for them.” Kennedy and Carlson have a strong connection and have been together since high school golf. “(Kennedy’s) an idol of mine, and I’ll always look up to him,” Carlson said. “(Kennedy’s) one of the greatest guys there is.” Kennedy has a lot of nice things to say about his player as well. “I remember Bill as a freshman in high school, and from that point on, year by year, he matured more and more,” Kennedy said. Kennedy said when Carlson is on the golf course, it’s all business. But as soon as he slips off his golf shoes and puts his clubs back in the bag, he goes back to a fun-loving kid again. Carlson will graduate after this season and doesn’t have any plans on turning pro. He’s looking at getting a public accounting job and hopefully becoming a certified public accountant. “I like golf a lot, I just don’t want it to turn into my life,” Carlson said. Though his coach hasn’t had much time to talk to Carlson about the future, Kennedy said he’s confident in Carlson’s golf skills after NDSU. “I think if he wanted to pursue the next level, he has the tools to do that,” Kennedy said.

Editor’s note: Column writer Joe Kerlin is wrote a three-part series breaking down what it would take for North Dakota State to move up to the Football Bowl Subdivision. The following is the third and final part of the series. By now, we understand the financial hurdles North Dakota State would have to overcome before receiving an invitation from the Mid-American Conference or Conference USA in the FBS. The bar has been set high, and it isn’t the only element of the transition holding NDSU back. The Fargodome is a wonderful atmosphere in which fans can root for the Bison and scare the game plans out of opponents. But with 19,000 as the capacity, the Fargodome could experience size issues in a league with stadiums over 100,000. For the Bison to move to the FBS, the home facility would need to expand. This could lead to a whole array of headaches for the new athletic director and Fargo City Council. Someone as powerful as Andrew Carnegie wouldn’t be able to negotiate a new stadium, but even if someone does, are we still sure NDSU is ready to move up? It’s always enlightening to hear an outsider’s opinion about a school we cover and discuss endlessly. The honesty and unbiased thoughts and rational behind people’s opinion is what give you a greater sense of who and what you really are. But what people perceive you as and your own vision of yourself can differ. Five victories over FBS opponents have surly given Bison fans the confidence that NDSU is ready for the next level of football. But what would an informed outsider or an employee from ESPN think? Surely with all the exposure from ESPN’s “College GameDay,” you would think the Bison have the momentum to carry them into the FBS after having the epicenter
of college football in downtown Fargo twice in two years. “I don’t think that is automatically a good thing,” “GameDay” producer Lee Fitting said in an interview with Bison Illustrated. “How many schools make the jump from FCS to FBS, and (then) you never hear from them again?” Among the schools Fitting is alluding to is the University of Massachusetts, which has been 2-22 since joining the MAC; Western Kentucky, which took five years to make its first bowl game, and Georgia State, who went winless in its first year playing an FBS schedule last season. “I think the fans want to pound on their chest and say, ‘We made it to (the) FBS,’” Fitting said. “But when you get up there, nine times out of 10, you turn into the bottom. No one hears from them when they are getting beat 45-0 by Alabama, Tennessee or Auburn.” The Bison football program is in a golden era that will continue well after the team’s next loss. I believe the jump to FBS would be toxic to the goodwill Bison football has across the nation. Fans need to understand that NDSU doesn’t need to play a Big Ten schedule to prove its program’s dominance. We have a good thing going here in the FCS, so why should we jeopardize the winning culture created to go 7-5 and play in the GoDaddy.com Bowl? The 1980s is called the decade of the Bison in division II football. Championships were won on a regular basis and a handful of players managed to make their way into the NFL. NDSU didn’t make the jump to division I until 14 years after their last championship in 1990. The program waited until everything was in place structurally before making the leap. It would be a mistake for the program now to suddenly lose its patients and make a transition without the right resources in place. For now, the FBS can wait.

Bison Find Whichever Way Needed to Win NDSU football versatile enough to win in different fashions Colton Pool Sports Editor
North Dakota State is one of the best football teams in the nation and an FCS powerhouse for many reasons. One of those has been adjustments and learning on the fly. The Bison beat No. 3/4-ranked Montana 22-10 by limiting the Grizzlies’
rushing attack to 256 total yards, and only 68 of those came on the ground. Travon Van, who scored four touchdowns with six touches against Central Washington earlier in 2014, was held to minus -4 yards rushing. Meanwhile, the Bison rushed for 280 yards and 5.1 yards per carry. Physical play is how the Bison have always won, and will continue to win at this rate. “We couldn’t be happier with where we’re at,” NDSU head coach Chris Klieman said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do. These kids will stay hungry and they’ll continue to work.” Sure, NDSU has been a model of consistency the past years, not is reflected

defense for stiffening up in the red zone.” And maybe some of the credit goes to the 18,980-strong fan base for being loud enough to make things hard on Montana when it had multiple chances to take the lead. “I thought we just struggled all around, so credit to
(NDSU’s) defense,” said Grizzly quarterback Jordan Johnson. “It was tough to communicate, but I thought that we would be able to settle down.” Maybe it was the halftime adjustments. NDSU hasn’t given up a single point in the fourth quarter this season, and the Grizzlies couldn’t even score in the second half. “We try to learn with what we see in the first half,” Klieman said. “(The players) make a lot of the adjustments, as well as us as coaches making the adjustments.” Or perhaps it was how the Bison pecked away at Montana’s defense. NDSU controlled the ball for 20 more minutes while rushing
the ball 55 times. Sooner or later, the Grizzlies were bound to fall too far behind to even hope to catch up. “We like to control the ball,” Wentz said. “We just wear down teams and that’s what happened today.” In reality, it was all of the above. The Bison win games because they know how to pick, and fight, their battles. They know how to game plan and how to prepare. They know when to run and when to pass. They know when to take a risk and when to take a sure thing. They know how to play through adversity and how to capitalize on opportunity. Bo knows. No, wait, NDSU knows.

NDSU was powered by senior Jackie Lee and sophomore Emily Miron, who each tallied eight kills. Milligan led NDSU’s defense with 14 digs. NDSU will begin the Summit League regular season with a road match against the University of South Dakota Friday in Vermillion, S.D.

SIUE took the lead only six minutes into the contest. Rachel Brots took a pass from Michelle Auer and shot it past Sierra Bonham to find the back of the net from 10 yards out. The Bison nearly evened the match when Anisha Kinnarath put a shot on goal, but SIUE goalkeeper Jennifer Pelley saved the goal and the lead. Pelley ended the day with three saves. The Cougars outshot NDSU 13-5, and also had two corner kicks compared to NDSU’s one. Bonham had a game-high four saves for the Bison (4-4), but was given the loss after allowing the game’s lone goal. After playing Drake Sunday, the Bison will play its next regular season game against Western Illinois Oct. 3 at Dacotah Field in Fargo.
Bison volleyball, soccer each lose a contest Colton Pool Sports Editor
Volleyball North Dakota State volleyball traveled to Towson, Md., last weekend to take part in the Tiger Invitational. Towson beat the Bison Friday in NDSU’s opening tournament match 3-0, then pulled out a thrilling 3-2 win over Kent State Saturday. NDSU’s Emily Minnick matched her career high of 20 kills against KSU, which helped the Bison to a 25-22, 16-25, 25-22, 19-25, 15-10 victory. Junior Jenni Fassbender chalked up 14 kills while Emily Miron had 13 for the Bison (5-8). NDSU spread the ball evenly on offense, as Monica Claxton (27), Ali Moody (17) and Brianna Rasmusson (12) each tallied doubledigit assists. Sophomore libero Emily Milligan went off for 20 digs in the win. In the earlier match, the Towson Tigers swept NDSU 25-21, 25-20 and 25-11 by maintaining efficiency. In the first set, the Bison had a 19-18 advantage, but it slipped through their fingers as the Tigers went on a 4-0 run before closing out the set. NDSU found itself up late in the second set as well. But with a 18-16 lead, Towson put up six of the next seven points and never
