Student Workers in High Demand BY JOSH FRANCIS

tudents looking for employment are not having much of a problem, but employers are having trouble drawing workers, a trend unique to North Dakota. While nationally the unemployment rate hovers around 6 percent, in the Fargo-Moorhead area it is at 2.8 percent. The low unemployment seems like a positive, but businesses in the area are struggling to hire enough workers. “Employers are having a really hard time filling positions,” said Kim Teske, North Dakota State’s technology and events coordinator. On Thursday, 60 employers set up booths in the Memorial Union Ballroom to attract young, part-time workers, and they are having to do more than just hand out pens and candy. Angie Oberg, a representative from Kelly’s Services, a Troy, Mich.- based employment services company, said their firm has seen more Fargo-area businesses coming to them to try and market their open positions in innovative ways. The issue is not people not wanting to work. “The unemployment rate is so low it’s absolutely the lack of talent,” she said. Elsewhere, the issue is the opposite — workers cannot find work. Oberg said in Michigan they have to work harder with job seekers because of the state’s high unemployment. With a lower number of available workers, businesses are more competitively attracting workers; scheduling flexibility is the top priority for students. Sophomore pharmacy major Bill Deer, 19, said flexibility was the major selling point of businesses along with proximity to campus. “They seem to be very interested in getting me to work,” Deer said. Pay wasn’t a big deal for Deer, though. Businesses are more competitive with starting wages in the F-M area, but employers said students are more concerned about getting weekends and holidays off and the ability to work around school. “We understand students have lives outside of work,” said Rhonda Young, the human resources manager for Hornbacher’s, a major grocery chain with a big presence in F-M. She said there is a fluctuation in the number of workers they see from season-toseason. When the college year starts, they get a lot of college students working. When summer rolls around, college students who live in the area work more hours and high school students also work summer jobs. Young said they work with students who leave after the school year, too. If the store cannot transfer them to a store closer to where they live, they allow leaves of absence so students can return to work when they return to school. Students are happy with the abundance of work opportunities. “I think it’s definitely easier with a wider variety of options,” said freshman architecture major, Samantha Bot, 18. “They’re very energetic and trying to work with you,” Bot’s friend Kristie Bade, 19, a freshman nursing major added. Another big employer in the area, Scheel’s All Sports, hires a lot of college students and values events like part-time job fairs because they help spread awareness about their need for workers. One of their hiring pitches also relates to flexible scheduling. Vicki Gara, an assistant store leader, said they offer every-other-weekend schedules and other perks like stock options in the company. While a lot of students aren’t too concerned with wage levels, companies are still

using more competitive wages to entice employees. Cashwise talent acquisition specialist Kendra Vanderweyst said competitive wage hikes are useful in attracting workers for their grocery-retail business. Wages in retail and the service industry in Fargo aren’t quite at the levels they are in western North Dakota, where retail stores like Walmart and fast food joints like McDonald’s have had to more than double their starting wages. The minimum wage in North Dakota is $7.25. The median hourly wage is more than $1.00 more for fast food workers at $8.44 per hour on average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Waiters and waitresses are receiving, on average, $8.92 per hour and cashiers are making, on average, $8.90 per hour. The national averages for workers in those jobs is still higher, but Fargo’s cost of living average is 14 percent lower than the national average, according to livability.com, which means money goes further in this area.. Teske said there is interest in hosting more part-time job fairs than the one they host in the fall. The Career Center also sponsors a career expo in February in the Fargodome. There are also a few industry specific fairs and internship fairs throughout the school year.

If approved by state legislator and Gov. Dalrymple, Dunbar Hall will be one of a handful of building to be updated around campus.

SBHE Allots Money for NDSU

Over $136 million allocated to NDSU buildings, if approved Benjamin Norman Co-News Editor

Pending governor recommendation and a vote in the state legislature, North Dakota State could receive more than $136 million that was approved last Wednesday by the State Board of Higher Education.

The money, $136.65 million in capital requested by NDSU to fund future projects, would pay for building construction. The single largest allotment of the capital would go toward a new chemistry building. Dunbar Hall II would receive $45.9 million for construction. An addition at Sudro Hall has been allocated $32.7 million, while $27.2 million has been set-aside for the first phase of an expansion of engineering buildings. The nearly $60 million allocated for Sudro Hall and the engineering buildings are to maintain accreditation. SBHE board member Don Morton is

quoted in a press release calling the approved money as logical, considering both the health and engineering industries are in high demand locally and nationally. Student body President Sarah Russell campaigned for the allotment when running for election last spring. “Our campaign platform ‘One Legacy’ focused on what student government can do at NDSU to benefit future students,” Russell said. “By meeting with campus facilities management department frequently, we can decide what needs addressing.” Russell addressed the importance of insuring safety in the labs, hence why Dun-

bar needs construction, Russell said. The pharmacy and engineering programs are the largest on campus, too, so the allotment for those buildings are welcomed. “Our organization is very relieved and excited that the school board of higher education approved these essential projects,” Russell said. “Work in advocating for the fulfillment of the projects in the state legislature (has already begun).”

Campus Uses Data From Event to Educate on Alcohol Abuse Club NDSU attendees received emails about how intoxicated they might have been Josh Francis

Head News Editor

Many students that attended the Club NDSU event on Aug. 23 received an email a few days later with an interesting alcohol abuse message. North Dakota State used the event to subtly make students aware of the consequences of drinking too much alcohol. Every time students went to the bar that served mocktails or drinks that looked like alcoholic cocktails minus the alcohol, they swiped their student ID card. The Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Prevention used those statistics to show students how intoxicated they would have been had the drinks been alcoholic. The school also tells students how much those drinks would have cost them at a bar. The information is sent via email to each student who got a drink from the bar, said

Erika Beseler Thompson, assistant director of the AODAP. During the first Club NDSU event of the year, 1,105 mocktails were served to 651 students. The event is not an alcohol awareness event, but the school’s AODAP program uses the event and the mock bar to give students an idea of what excessive drinking can do. The latest Club NDSU event attracted more than 1,700 students to the Memorial Union basement. Besler Thompson said the university recognize college students will drink, but they want to educate students on the undesirable aspects of drinking too much. In some cases one drink is too many, especially if the student is not 21, Thompson said. “We know that drinking can be a very individual thing, that there’s some desirable things that come with drinking or nobody would do it,” she said. “One of the things we want people to consider is what is desirable about drinking for them and how do you manage to avoid undesirable things.” The AODAP uses the motto, “Before one more, is it one too many?” They also provide resources on campus to educate students on

the risks of drinking and the misuse of drugs. There will be one more Club NDSU event in December and two more next semester, Besler Thompson said. The event was started in 2007.

The event also serves as an alcohol-free alternative for students. NDSU does not allow alcohol on its campus and is classified as a dry campus.

Bridget Burke Takes Over Role of University’s Top Librarian NDSU names new dean of libraries Josh Francis

Head News Editor

After a controversial settlement process with North Dakota State’s former dean of libraries, the university announced the new replacement in August. Bridget Burke will take over as the top administrator of the libraries and will report to the office of the provost on Sept. 15, a university news release said. Burke has served as the associate university librarian for special collections and the

digital library at Boston College since 2011. North Dakota’s weather won’t phase the new dean; she has served as an assistant professor and department head for the Alaska and Polar Regions Collection at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the release said. Fairbanks was named America’s coldest city by The Daily Beast, Fargo came in fourth. Burke received her bachelor’s and master of library science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree in American history from Wesleyan University. The school settled with former dean of the libraries, Michele Reid, earlier this year after alleged discrimination against the university. Reid was expected to be fired before the

settlement was reached. Clashes with administrators and numerous complaints from library employees were among the reasons the school wanted to terminate Reid. Reid will earn $166,954 in 2014 and $125,000 in 2015, according to the settle¬ment agreement and is still pursuing her doctorates degree at the university. Burke’s salary will be $154,000, officials said. Students, staff and faculty are invited to meet Burke at an open house reception on Sept. 18 from 3-4 p.m. in the Weber Reading Room in the library.

for the worst. Fortunately, a tornado never touched down, and

the storm didn’t wreak any havoc on NDSU’s campus. Campus officials said

students and faculty are given materials that tell them what to do in the event of a severe weather warning. “When students check in to the residence halls, they receive a handbook with emergency procedures, including what to do when there is a tornado warning,” Anne Robinson-Paul, university relations communications coordinator, said in an email. “The handbook provides information on where they should take shelter in the building they live in if the sirens go off. This information is also covered during the first floor

meetings.” University Police are also on alert when emergencies take place, Robinson-Paul said. Dr. Daniel Klenow, NDSU’s emergency management department head, said there are procedures in place to react to a severe weather event, like Thursday’s storm. Emergency action guide posters are in buildings throughout campus, and they outline what to do in the event of any kind of emergency, from a tornado to an active shooter.

Bye to the ‘@My’ IT works to simplify and offer more Benjamin Norman Co-News Editor

Sept. 9 marks the start of a new era for North Dakota State’s email services. All NDSU students with a “my.ndsu.edu” domain will be changed to “@ndsu. edu.” Steve Sobiech, acting executive director of computing and infrastructure, said the main goal of the changes was to get all students, faculty and staff under one email tenant. “(One tenant) allows for shared services and seamless services,” Sobiech, who is also the IT Help Desk manager, said. Along with this unified system comes more online storage. Students will gain access to one terabyte of free file space in Microsoft OneDrive on Sept. 9 as well. Microsoft Lync, the instant messaging system that replaced Windows Messenger, will also be offered to students and faculty on Sept. 9. Simplifying the system Michelle Sauvageau, the executive commissioner of technology, said one of the IT department’s main goals was to ease students’ lives.

“I think it is going to simplify the system,” Sauvageau, a junior studying electrical engineering said. “There will be less people missing emails.” Sauvageau said the email system used to be a part of the North Dakota University System. “The (recent) migration changed it from that system to an in-house NDSU management system,” Sauvageau said. The “@my.ndsu.edu” domain was a result of Microsoft Live branding, Sobiech said. Although it is soon-to-be obsolete, the “@ my.ndsu.edu” will still be deliverable for students who forget to change their email addresses on their resumes or other documents. The migration took place the weekend of July 18. During that weekend, student passwords were also unified to a one-size-fits-all approach. The electronic ID password covers email and other NDSU logins now. Who it helps The change is particularly helpful for student employees, who, before the merger, had to manage two email accounts. Dominic Marks, a senior studying computer sciences and student manager at the Help Desk, did not in particular struggle with

balancing two accounts. “I only liked checking one email account,” Marks said. “So what I did was set up from my student email account … to forward every message that came into my employee (account).” The hassle was to discern what account the sender was sending to, Marks said. The similar-named accounts did not make it easy, either. The change will benefit staff as well. Amber Rasche, IT communications coordinator and women and gender studies instructor, said another benefit of the changes will be staff accessibility if instructors utilize the new programs. Instructors will be able to show their online office hours through Lync. “Student won’t have to walk across campus in 30 degree weather to find out (an instructor’s schedule),” Rasche said of Lync. Many companies outside of campus utilize the program as well, Sobiech said. Familiarizing NDSU students with realworld programs will be beneficial.

Candace Kallevig, Devon Tucker and Gregory Calrow were elected to direct the Gold Star Marching Band this year.

The Gold Star Leaders Meet the 2014 marching band drum majors BY CONNOR DUNN

In a sea of green in the Gold Star Marching Band stands three white clad drum majors, the leaders of the Pride of North Dakota. Every year, the band elects three distinguished students to direct and lead the roughly 180 members of the marching band in practices, walkthroughs and games for football, basketball and volleyball. The Spectrum recently interviewed the three seniors, who are the 2014 GSMB drum majors. Name: Devon Tucker Major: Instrumental Music Education Hometown: Wadena, Minn. Instrument: Sousaphone

When and why did you join the band?

I joined the GSMB my freshman year; it was actually one of the first classes I enrolled in. My high school marching band only did street marching, usually a total of three parades per summer, so joining the GSMB was a way to get involved on campus, meet new people, make new friends, and experience more than just the street marching done in high school. Why did you become a drum major and leave the comforts of being a single marcher? I wanted to do more than just march. I wanted to be more than just one of around 10 sousaphones in a band of about 200. I wanted to be a leader, a role model, someone that fellow marchers look up to. I wanted a challenge, and I found it. Do you miss playing your instrument and marching? I definitely do miss marching and playing sousaphone. The camaraderie within the sousaphone section was something I had never experienced before not only in the souse section, but the entire band as a whole. The one negative thing that I noticed after becoming one of three drum majors was the fact that you observe your friends and peers having fun while you have to be professional and keep a good face up for the rest of the band. Who does the backward bridge when the rest of the band runs on to the field and how much practice goes into perfecting it? The backward bridge changes every game day via rotation. The drum major who holds the mace does the bridge. The only preparation that I remember doing consisted of a few trial bends with the mace and then just doing it live. It’s definitely one of the most exhilarating parts of pregame. What do you think people would find most surprising about your job? The small things that we must focus on whilst conducting go unnoticed but are super important. It looks like we’re just waving our arms about, but it is so much more than

that. Hand height, ictus, tempo, matching the other two, meter change, dynamics… and so on . What impact do you hope to have on your fellow band members? After all is said and done, I hope that I was an effective leader. I don’t want to just be another drum major remembered by my white pants and gloves, but one that is remembered for the laughs shared, the conversations had, and the memories made. It has been an honor to serve as drum major, and I am excited to see who the next three deserving people will be. Name: Candace Kallevig Major: Spanish and Spanish Education with music minor Hometown: Alexandria, Minn. Instrument: Trumpet When and why did you join the band? I joined the band my freshman year, and it was actually the reason that I chose to come to NDSU. The first criterion for me for a college was that it had to have a marching band. There is something about being in such a large group and making music together, and then playing that music while marching that really grabs my attention. Why did you become a drum major and leave the comforts of being a single marcher? The sign up sheet for drum major auditions was out in the hall, and I signed up on a whim! I had always been curious about what it would be like to be a drum major, so I thought I would see how the audition went, and the band ended up honoring me by voting for me! What is your favorite part of being a drum major? In general, being a drum major is a leadership role that I love having. I really like being a face that people in the band recognize. As for gamedays, what part is not my favorite? Everything from our traditional “march-over,” to tailgating, to pregame, to halftime, to playing in the stands is my favorite part of gameday. But if I had to choose one favorite thing, I would choose our pregame performance. This is a super high energy show that gets

everyone in the Fargodome excited for the Bison game. Also, it’s my favorite game day whenever it’s my turn to do the back bend. How much practice goes into the back bend while the rest of the band runs on to the field? It definitely takes some practice to build endurance and balance! Do you miss playing your instrument and marching? I do miss playing trumpet sometimes. Thankfully, I get the opportunity to play at volleyball and basketball games! As for marching, I miss getting to work side by side with other instrumentalists in order to create a form. It’s a really fun team feeling to have everyone go the their correct spot in order to create a shape. There is no way for one person to create the form on their own, so we all work together to make it. What impact do you hope to have on your fellow band members? It is an honor to be able to lead all of my fellow band members. I hope that I can be seen as a friend to them. I am in the process of learning everyone’s name and hope to get to know more about each member as the season progresses. It is such a privilege to be the drum major, and I strive to be someone who the students like to have leading them. Name: Gregory Calrow Major: Music Education Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba Instrument: Trombone When and why did you join the band? I joined band five years ago during my freshman year of college. Why did you become a drum major and leave the comforts of being a single marcher? The band has given a lot to me, and I thought it would be a great way to give back to the band. What is your favorite

part of being a drum major? My favorite part of being a drum major is being able to meet everyone in the band. I get to make new friends every day. Gamedays are fun for everyone, not just the drum majors. Marching through tailgating and doing half time and pregame is so much fun to see all the bison fans yelling and screaming. Do you miss playing your instrument and marching? I do miss playing my instrument, but I have been enjoying explaining my musical skills in ways I have not been able to before. What halftime show are you most looking forward to? I am really looking forward to the Beyoncé show. The show has been arranged for us, and we have come up with some pretty sweet dance moves. What impact do you hope to have on your fellow band members? I hope that my fellow band members are passionate and have as much fun as I had in band. I hope that marching band becomes an important part of their college experience like it has been for me.

A Serendipitous Occurrence at the Minnesota State Fair

TASTY SUBS

SPEEDY DELIVERY!

Deep-fried and wide-eyed at the fair Edward Pavek

Contributing Writer

The aroma instantly assaults the nostrils with a myriad of deep-fried scents; each step forward bringing an ever growing wave of humans closer, ebbing across what once was a cross pattern of streets, now occupied by a sea of people. The Minnesota State Fair has an unusual way of gravitating people into its all-consuming sea, even though the true lunacy is the sheer number of people in one place at one time. The fair caters to everyone’s stomach for a length of 10 days with everything from deep-fried pickles, Oreos and ice cream to frozen grapes and mouth-watering pork chops on a stick. The redundancy of this lunacy only increased as three students from North Dakota State University found each other in this chaotic sea of people Sunday, Aug. 31, at the fair. Eric Curtiss, Anna Labitzky and Micah Hansen had a serendipitous occurrence as the three students happened to cross paths. Labitzky, a first-year

Hansen, who is working on her masters in counselor education, was a roommate of Labitzky during their sophomore and junior years, making for quite the fond reunion. Curtiss, who just started his first year at NDSU, is working on his mechanical engineering degree. The three stood out in front of the Sweet Martha’s Cookies exchanging smiles with laughter and conversing about whatever one would converse about at a fair.

Minnesota State Fair: “Oh my gosh!” Hansen exclaimed. “The craziest part is standing on the top of the hill and not being able to see the road, because the sheer amount of people.” “The Buckeyes,” Labitzky interjected with mention of the deep-fried peanut butter balls, “They are delicious!” Curtiss and Hansen agreed on the fact that they thoroughly enjoyed working with the people they did and the people they met through the fair. As the conversation was winding down, the wait in line for the legendary cookies became dismissed, as buckets of cookies were brought out to where everyone was standing. The conversation

was immersed with the pondering of what they each looked forward to this upcoming year of school at NDSU. Hansen mused with the idea of the acceptance into her graduate program with the continuation of knowledge that would be gained as she went further into her field of study. Curtiss was excited for just getting back to NDSU and finishing the transition from high school to college. “Only been there for a week, and already leaving for the weekend,” he said. And finally, Labitzky elatedly shared she was most excited for starting a new program and getting to meet a bunch of new people she would not have met if she did not get into the program. After exchanging

Run For Your Life, Ebol-ahhh! Headlines cause panic throughout the country Caleb Werness Opinion Editor

There are few words that spark wide spread panic amongst the general population. And only some of this select vocabulary can cause irrational paranoia and apocalyptic speculation. The trigger word in this scenario is “outbreak.” The latest of these outbreaks stems from West Africa with news of the Ebola virus plaguing headlines everywhere. The news feeds in the recent months have been filled with all the “if’s” regarding this outbreak from, “don’t worry” to “we’re going to die!” When occurrences like this come up, the mainstream media seems to salivate and jump on whatever little details they can get their hands on. Facts get progressively used and reused, and out of this comes speculations from “experts” that can cause hysteria and paranoia. The handful of Americans confirmed

to have Ebola have been treated; most notably, the doctor that was flown into Atlanta and treated. It’s wise to be aware and prepared, but at times people can go overboard. We as students have received several emails regarding the North Dakota Department of Health and their Ebola task force. When you think about it, the risk of Ebola coming to North Dakota is slim to none. Being prepared is important, don’t get me wrong, but is a “task force” truly necessary? I would say no, but some may disagree. The issue that comes about from these outbreaks is how the media response tries to play on the fears of the public. Fear gets attention, and attention gets viewers

and sells papers. It’s the nature of the beast. The same sort of incident happened some years back with the H1N1 virus or better known as “the swine flu.” The public was frenzied into a panic and pork product sales plummeted. Even before the swine flu, there was the outbreak of the avian flu. Every few years we ride the roller coaster of hearing about the virus that will end us all. Like Y2K, the hype was a bit much. Again, there is wisdom in being prepared for the future, but at times these sorts of procedures can get made out to be worse than they really are. The term “outbreak” gets thrown around too liberally and always seems to insight a panic. All that is needed is for people to calmly educate themselves and not give weight to all the “worst case sceCARTOON BY CALEB WERNESS

The Art of Buying Textbooks Sometimes ‘new’ doesn’t mean ‘different’ Derek Schreiber

Contributing Writer

As the fall semester starts anew, the North Dakota State bookstore is hustling and bustling with students eagerly charging textbooks to their accounts. Between moving in, catching up with old friends and preparing for the first day of class, it’s easy for students to forget that they are spending real money at the bookstore. A chemistry book with the access card is $247, then $115 dollars for an English text, $122 dollars for an algebra book, $78 for that horticulture text and so on. It’s easy to see how some students surpass the $750 student-credit limit the NDSU bookstore graciously provides.

Textbooks are, generally, “updated” on a three-year rotation. For example: every three years for the last nine years Prentice Hall has released a new, and improved, version of their flagship introduction to chemistry textbook. Do we really need the latest, and most expensive, edition of a basic chemistry textbook? Has basic chemistry really changed that much in the last three years? Was chemistry so different six, or even nine years ago that it warrants a re-publication of the textbook? Some students choose to save money by buying older editions of required texts online for significantly lower prices. To test the effectiveness of this method I acquired two chemistry textbooks. The first: Chemistry, a Molecular Approach 1st ed. written by Nivaldo J. Tro and published on December 1st, 2006. The second: Chemistry, a Molecular Approach 3rd ed. written by Nivaldo J. Tro and published on January

18th, 2013. The two books are nearly identical, down to the table of contents and page numbers. In defense of the publisher there were a few, notable differences. Almost all of the charts and graphs had their color schemes changed. Similarly, I found quite a few instances where the non-block text, often found under graphs and diagrams, also received a chromatic facelift. Aside from the new and improved color choices the prices were also very different. Amazon has the third edition listed at $195.94 for a new copy; and $188.99 for the used edition. A new copy of the first edition will set you back $49.01. I was able to pick up a used copy of first edition, with overnight shipping, for $23.32. Several professors around NDSU have noticed this trend of textbook stagnation and proactively started using older, cheaper, texts in their classes. I would like to take a

minute to thank them, on behalf of all NDSU students, for saving us money. If you’re a professor who consistently uses the newest textbooks, I challenge you to take a look at an older edition of your favorite text. Please carefully consider the pros and cons of switching, and make an informed decision. As always, it’s important to take any advice with a grain of salt. Not all new textbooks are carbon copies of their older editions. Some new textbooks contain updated information, and some even received complete overhauls making them significantly better than their older counterparts. Lastly, since we’re in the business of saving money, it’s always a good idea to consult with your professor before purchasing an older version of a required textbook.

Celebrity Nudes Cause Disturbing Up Rise Gender equality is apparently not on the rise Amber Zolondek Staff Writer

It is probably of no surprise to us anymore that leaks of private photos are a concern we have in today’s world. We have access to the Web, which can never really delete evidence

of anything whether it be texts, photos, posts or articles. On Tuesday, Sept. 2, nude photos hacked from the iCloud by an amateur rocked the internet with buzz about feminism, rape culture, sexual assault and other topics. Women around the world have to deal with the threat that our images, text messages, and other personal files on our phone could be breached and shared with the world. Especially the ones we really don’t want others to see. Whether these nudes from celebrities were for their partner, friend, or themselves,

they did not deserve to be exposed in such an embarrassing and vulnerable manner. The argument often posed has been “Maybe they shouldn’t have taken photos like that?” To which I always have to reply, “Maybe it was meant for a private conversation and shared in confidence, like partners are supposed to have in each other.” Sadly enough, that has become the abnormal trend for relationships and partnerships lately, and this is a terrible side effect we’re beginning to experience. These women may have had their own reasons to take and store these images on their computer and phone, and people can’t seem to grasp the idea that this reason isn’t any of their business. Many of the celebrities whose photos were leaked have been brought to the lowest level of humiliation: slut shaming. What’s

worse is that modern films have come to the point that actresses are seen naked acting far more suggestive than most of these photos ever showed. Is there a double standard? Furthermore, the photos released were finally commented on by either the subjects themselves or their representatives, varying from denial to acceptance to explanations and chastising. Others were reported to have been taken years ago, some potentially qualifying as child pornography due to ages at which they had been taken. I thought it was possible we were taking small steps toward an equal stance on sexual and gender-related topics, but seeing the reaction to this type of small crisis in the media, I see we still have a long, long way to go.

Don’tcha Know?: The Two Degrees of Separation In ND, you know someone who knows someone you know BY JACK DURA

In a state with 700,000 people, the following, l i t t l e known social phenomenon may not come as a shock. Here in North Dakota, everyone is just another person away. It’s a social phenomenon found nearly nowhere else, a wideaffecting effect I call the Two Degrees of Separation. In some ways, it’s a lot like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, if anyone out there is familiar with that concept. In one very big way, however, it is not. The Two Degrees of Separation can take any two North Dakotans and connect them with another NoDaker, just like that. How much fun can we have with this? Plenty! In

ol’ NoDak, chances are very high that you know someone who knows someone you know. That’s what this social phenomenon boils down to. Let me break it down with a true-to-life example found right here at The Spectrum. I graduated from high school here in Fargo with a girl who, for the sake of anonymity and protection, I’ll call Jane Plain. Jane Plain grew up and attended grade school in Edgeley. As it happens, The Spectrum’s business manager Travis Jones calls Edgeley home and in fact knows Jane from her younger years. There you have it. That’s the Two Degrees. But let’s take it further. If you explore enough, you can always find more people connected to one. Also in The Spectrum office is our delightful head

copy editor Erica Nitschke. Erica is from Bismarck. Fairly far removed from Edgley right? As it happens, Erica and Jane are stepcousins. The Two Degrees strike again! So now I’ve just connected three people from three different N.D. towns to one person. But let’s explore other examples. How far can a person roam in North Dakota to make a connection? My answer: very, very far. Picture it! Parshall, 2007. A glorious, 103-degree day in July. A 13-year-old boy and his sunburned sister are selling refurbished fishing tackle on the side of a road near a boat ramp on the Van Hook Arm. An old man walks up, inspecting the children’s loot, and after a little haggling they agree upon a price and a lure.

The old man asks where the tackle came from. “From the shores of Devils Lake,” replies the 13-year-old boy, “found by Fred Ned.” (I say Fred Ned to once again protect the innocent.) “Fred Ned? Why, I went to grade school with old Fred!” exclaims the old man, and he chortles as he walks away, satisfied with his lowdollar lure and the fact of meeting an acquaintance’s acquaintance. As it happens, that 13-year-old boy was me, and Fred Ned, a family friend of ours who collects washed-up fishing tackle on Devils Lake. From this we can glean that a kid from Fargo (me) can connect with an old man from Parshall (the old man) over a shared acquaintance from Devils Lake (Fred Ned). The Two Degrees strike again!

But what do the Two Degrees accomplish other than a little social amusement? Well, many times over it’s true that when applying for a job, it is not what you know, but who you know and, boy, is this true in North Dakota. How often is it that someone will hire a person simply because they share an acquaintance or a friend can vouch for their virtues? Here in ol’ NoDak, I find it’s somewhat common, and I’ve even taken a job or two because of the Two Degrees’ effect. Guilty as charged, my friends! As a factual side note, I can connect my bosses from three of my jobs through the Two Degrees of Separation, so that just shows more of this phenomenon’s swing. I won’t thrill you with the connection, but know it

involves a library, a kitchen and the Deuce of August. In other areas, the Two Degrees can break the ice at parties, social occasions and any situation involving waiting. My goodness, just today two guys in back of me in GEOL 105 connected over one acquaintance being the one’s roommate and the other’s high school classmate. One of those guys was from Minot, the other was from a town I didn’t catch, but it was definitely in North Dakota. So there you have it, the Two Degrees of Separation, a social phenomenon one must not miss in North Dakota. Break the ice, break the tension, make a conversation or a date over learning you and a stranger both know the same person.

Improving Campus Atmosphere, One Student at a Time Campus etiquette Rebecca Opp

Contributing Writer

It is officially the second week of the fall semester, and while many returning students are now falling back into old routines, new students are still getting used to life at North Dakota State. It can be difficult at times to realize there are other people outside of your bubble. In order to make campus a better place for everyone to share, there are a few things we can do as individuals that could have an impact on the overall

atmosphere at NDSU. For example, even the task of traveling to and from classes on campus can prove to be stressful for some students. The day-to-day grind on campus can get hectic as some of us run across campus to make it from class to class on time. In order to make the journey a little easier on everyone, students should be more observant when walking and driving on campus. Being conscience of your fellow students is an easy way to be polite. This practice can simply be leaving room for others to use the sidewalk when walking in a group. As basic as it may seem, employing this habit can ease the travel of

students to and from destinations more quickly and removes the anxiety of breaking through a crowd. A “thank you” to show appreciation for campus employees is another way to improve t h e

running smoothly. While it is sometimes easy to overlook their efforts, a little smile can go a long way. Without atmosphere their service, CARTOON BY RYAN GAPP at NDSU. the campus Custodians and receptionists are the people who ensure that would be in disarray. Letting buildings and services are these hard working people

know they are appreciated is a little gesture with a big effect. One of the best ways to make a difference is by taking part in and supporting student run activities and organizations. There are a numerous amount of groups and clubs on campus to join. Amongst these there is bound to be one that strikes up your interest. Taking part in a club or student organization can really enhance one’s experience. “Getting involved” could mean something as simple as wearing NDSU colors on “Bison Pride Friday” or attending a home game for the Rugby team. There are many ways to become involved, and participating in activities and

organizations can create a sense of belonging and encourage socialization amongst students. While

these

behaviors

may already be ingrained into the back of our minds, it is important to put them into practice on a regular basis. You might not believe such small actions can have an impact, but every student can become a leader by example. In this way, every student has the opportunity to improve the atmosphere at NDSU.

Justin Timberlake, pictured here in concert at the Fargodome in February, is one of many A1 headliners the Fargodome has had this year.

Fargodome Sees Range of Heavy Headliners in 2014 From Pink to Paul, Lady A to Cher, acts traverse genres, music Jack Dura A&E Editor

The Fargodome is on full power this year. Not only have the last 12 months seen a great range of acts and performers, but the next two months hold even more entertainment. If we look back to September 2013 and the headliners at the Dome since, it’s a remarkable list. It was a year ago that country popper Taylor Swift swept the venue off its feet, and in the months after, several other top acts from various genres slid across the Fargodome’s stage. January and February were both chock full of A1 acts. Pink and Lady Antebellum made their respective stops in mid-January,

followed by quite a roster of names the next month. Justin Timberlake, TobyMac and Luke Bryan each shook the stage in February, offering concerts for fans of pop, Christian and country. With that, the Fargodome saw five headliners, all at the top of their game and the charts, in a little less than seven weeks. But it didn’t end there. Spring saw the duo Timeflies rock the Bisons’ Spring Blast. Summer witnessed a Beatle and a pop princess take the Dome by storm. Sir Paul McCartney brought down the house in July with a repertoire spanning his entire career. Then, just three weeks ago, Katy Perry stomped across the stage, bringing her distinct style and sound (and a wealth of costume changes) to Fargo. So now in the last quarter of 2014, there is still more fun to come. Though the year may be running out, the concerts are still coming

to the Fargodome. October and November hold several headliners that are not to miss, as two acts are on their farewell tours. Cher is one of those acts. The pop queen is world-renown for all corners of her career, from her music to her personal life. Out on her Dressed to Kill (D2K) Tour, Cher will hit the Dome on Oct. 29 with fellow legend Pat Benatar and her husband Neil Giraldo. Tickets for the show range dramatically, from a little over $20 to a nearly $130. Five ticket options are available, and this sureto-sensational show is just six days after another high-riding act. Country fans in Fargo will get to pull on their boots for Dierks Bentley on Oct. 23. With Randy Houser and Cassadee Pope, Bentley is embarking on his Riser 2014 Tour, with his Fargo date announced just last month. Tickets range from just under $30 to nearly $45, and like Lady Antebellum earlier this year, Bentley will be playing to half the

Dome. November sees heavy metal rockers Mötley Crüe with Alice Cooper grab hold of the Fargodome, and this Nov. 16 concert is part of another farewell tour. According to the band, all bad things must end, and Mötley Crüe is made available with tickets from $20 to $95. Three days later sees holiday entertainers Mannheim Steamroller bring their annual Christmas show to the Dome. This their 30th anniversary tour, something special will be in the air, and tickets will be on sale for this show on Sept. 8. So with these acts in mind, anyone can conclude the Fargodome’s a real hotspot for any act looking to entertain in North Dakota. Sure, the 1990s and 2000s saw their fair share of headliners, but heading out of 2014 and into 2015, it will be fun to see who else is on the roster, particularly after a year like this one.

Barbara Hatfield Exhibit Comes to Moorhead’s Rourke Peaceful, simplistic art compiled from all parts of artist’s career BY JACK DURA

it’s

all

Moorhead’s Rourke Art Museum has the work of a native North Dakotan coming in to adorn its walls this week through midOctober. Artist Barbara Hatfield’s exhibition “Living with the things we know (the chairs are not for sitting)” brings in work of all kinds, from all parts of the artist’s career, to one place. “In some ways it’s almost a retrospective,” Meredith Lynn, interim executive director for the Rourke, said. “We’re showing many pieces which are new, which were created just for this show. But then also, probably about half the show is comprised of pieces from the past 15-20 years that she has been working on, so visitors will really get a sense of Barbara’s trajectory.” Around 50 pieces of art have been shipped and brought in to the Rourke, with Hatfield herself aiding in the installation process. The Rourke Art Museum, a former post office, has several interesting spaces (which include a large wall safe), and Hatfield’s work will be found all throughout the museum with many pieces varying in form and style. “Barbara, in the show, will have a number of twodimensional work,” Lynn said. “Work on paper, drawings with graphite and drawings with color media as well, and then we’ll also have paintings, oil paintings … and then she also creates sculptures.” Bringing all of this work in has been made possible with the funding assistance of Dr. William Wosick, a longtime admirer of Hatfield’s work.

Artist Barbara Hatfield, shown here at the Rourke Art Museum, helped install her incoming exhibition at the Moorhead gallery.

Attracting her exhibition has been ongoing for a year, as previous Rourke executive director Tania Blanich got the ball rolling. This is all very special as Hatfield’s Fargo-Moorhead connections are strong. Not only did she grow up on a North Dakota farm, but Hatfield graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead and was director of North Dakota State’s Memorial Union Gallery for several years. A reception for the artist will be held to open the exhibition, with Hatfield on hand to mingle with visitors and offer perspectives on the pieces. This is a great opportunity for anyone unsure of art shows and how to approach different forms of art, of which Hatfield has many. “They’re usually very minimal,” Lynn offered about Hatfield’s exhibition pieces. “They’re very simple and

elegant, there’s something almost peaceful about them … There is definitely a simplicity to it, but I think sometimes when you call something simple, it’s a little bit derogatory. In this case, it’s very much intentional, almost like an editing or paring down. What I would say is that there’s something very aesthetically pleasing about the work.” Being able to meet and speak with Hatfield herself at the artist reception is a great chance to better understand her work and meet the lady in person. This Lynn affirms, and welcomes anyone to come attend the artist reception. “I would encourage

MEREDITH LYNN | COURTSEY OF

everyone to come to the opening and meet Barbara,” Lynn said “I do invite people to come talk to her. She’s a wonderful person to talk to … I think lot of times with work that is more abstract, if you actually talk to the artist about it, maybe you will end up affirming the things you understood about it intuitively.”

The NDSU rugby team is focused on recruiting and improving with new players.

Lost Boys Rebuilding Through Recruitment NDSU club rugby looks to bring in more players while improving play Colton Pool Sports Editor

When the North Dakota State club rugby team meets, it can easily fill up a whiteboard with anything ranging from tactics to player recruitment to practice plans. Simply, the Lost Boys have a lot to talk about. The Lost Boys (0-2), in USA College Rugby Division II in the Northern Lights conference, started out the 2014 season by losing two tournament games on the road. But club president Michael Zweber said the Lost Boys main focus for right now is simply improving. “One thing I want to focus on is just fundamentals and learning about the game more, the way that it’s supposed to be played,” said Zweber, who plays as a flyhalf. “All of these students come in from different backgrounds and sports; it’s kind of a mixture. They want to play it like it’s basketball, soccer or football, but rugby is an entirely different sport. But it’s really fun.”

Club vice president Addison Czeck said a rugby team and get more people involved, practices are important for enforcing the but obviously we want to play a couple basics with new players.

the sport,” Zweber said. “A lot of people are pretty hesitant at first to actually play. But once they get bit by the rugby bug, they can’t get enough of it.” While players are thinking about their play on the pitch, they also may have to wonder if they will have a home field to play on at all. After concerns grew over the worsening field conditions, the club looked into different ways to raise money for upkeep or find a new location. But Zweber said field conditions — in more ways than one — will remain as is. “Right now, it’s still our field,” he said. “We’re still looking to talk with NDSU student government to find a more permanent location not just for rugby, but for student organizations as a whole.” But the Lost Boys don’t look away from challenges, Czeck said. Of anyone on their schedule, Czeck said the Lost Boys are most looking forward to playing the University of Minnesota-Duluth, which is the returning Division II national champion. He said hopefully with a good enough performance, it will bring in fans to make all of the chaos worthwhile. “We have bleachers, let’s fill them every game,” Czeck said.

BISON ROUNDUP NDSU volleyball, women’s golf and track teams in action Colton Pool Sports Editor

Volleyball North Dakota State volleyball went 0-3 last week against their three opponents in Las Cruces, N.M. The Bison (1-5) lost their first match Thursday to New Mexico State 1-3. In their second match, NDSU was swept by the California Golden Bears 0-3. In their final match dropped three straight sets to Radford. In the first match the junior Jenni Fassbender had 15 kills. Against California the Bison struggled to

find offense and dropped the first set 25-16 and second and third sets 25-18. Emily Minnick paced the Bison with six kills and two blocks. In their final match, Radford beat NDSU by narrow margins. The Bison lost the first two sets by a combined four points, 25-23 and 26-24. Radford pulled away in the final set 25-16. NDSU will have a chance to rebound in its home opener against North Dakota Tuesday at the Benson Bunker Fieldhouse. Women’s Golf The women’s golf team competed in and won their first tournament of the fall season last weekend at the Concordia Invitational in Detroit Lakes, Minn. Junior Hailey Boner won first collegiate tournament victory by shooting 1-over-par for a career-best round of 73. Fellow Bison senior Sarah Storandt finished a single stroke behind Boner to claim second place with a 2-over-par 74.

Sophomore Maggie Crippen finished with a 78 to claim a tie for fifth. Senior Emma Kusick shot an 84 to tie for 23rd Trisa Hutchinson scored an 85 to earn her a tie for 25th. The Bison will be in action next at the Nebraska Chip-N-Club Invitational on Sept. 8-9 at the Wilderness Ridge Golf Course in Lincoln, Neb. Men’s track and field North Dakota State men’s track and field athlete Alec Espeland won the 800-meter at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays Friday with a time of 1:51.71. Moses Heppner took fourth with a time of 1:52.23. Brett Kelly took runner-up in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, finishing at 9:17.35. Redshirt freshman thrower Alex Renner took fourth in the hammer throw with a personal-best mark of 170-6. Women’s track and field North Dakota State women’s track and

North Dakota State Football Needs Much More to Move Up

Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment for All Ages

Part one of three of NDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs for transition to FBS BY JOE KERLIN

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: Column writer Joe Kerlin will be writing 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 part No. 1. Part two will be coming Sept. 16.

Life has been good as a North Dakota State football fan. The Bison have won three Football Championship Subdivision titles in the last three years, beat another Big 12 team two weeks ago. And I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to mention NDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success outside of football with other athletic programs winning nine conference championships last school year. Fans have been feeling so good about the Bison they now believe NDSU is ready to take the next step into the Football Bowl Subdivisionranks and take the rest of the athletic department into whatever conference is ready for Bison Nation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad idea for several reasons. Not too long ago, NDSU made the transition from Division II to Division I-AA. Even with all the skepticism back then, look where NDSU is now. Fan confidence has caused a mob mentality way of thinking across BisoNation to hit while the iron is still hot and drop these Summit League and Missouri Valley Football Conference dive bars and go join a club where all the big boys party. Theoretically speaking, moving to the FBS is a great idea. The move would mean more scholarships, more highlights on ESPN, more Twitter fame and an allaround bigger national brand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all located in the heart of Fargo. But can I snap you out of your fantasy for a brief moment? Moving to the FBS in the next handful of years is going to be fiscally impossible unless NDSU expands its resources. And by resources, I mean money and where that financial boost would be coming from. Funding and numbers can be a confusing game to get yourself involved in. To help with the complication, there will

be a part two next Tuesday and eventually a part three the following Tuesday to breakdown what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take for NDSU to financially afford the FBS jump. We need a base sum to work with if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to compare numbers. Here are a few basic sums to keep in mind throughout. According to the USA Today, NDSU is 124th in total athletic revenue out of 230 Division I universities. NDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue was just over $18.86 million in 2013. University of Texas led the list with $165.69 million and Coppin State University was dead last at $3.45 million. Another stat to keep in mind is 41.39 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the percentage of total revenue coming from subsidies defined as money from student fees, institutional support and the state. This percentage accounts for around $7.8 million in NDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total revenue. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s give these numbers some context.If we compare NDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total revenue to the rest of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, the Bison are third behind Southern Illinois and Illinois State by less than $1.5 million. But the progress has been tremendous since 2008. The Bison brought in $3.3 million more than the average MVFC school in 2013. And since the league formed in 2008, NDSU has seen the biggest leap in revenue with $7.205 million, as the next closest is at $5.777 million for ISU. The revenue number alone is impressive for NDSU when you take in how little the gain is from subsidy compared to the other universities in the MVFC. SIU subsidies nearly double NDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Of the $20.16 million in revenue by SIU, 65.15 percent comes from subsidies. That considered, NDSU wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at $23.343 million in total revenue in 2013, a $4.482 million difference from the actual number. This leaves the question: How much money is out there that NDSU hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even tapped into yet?

There is help and hope for those dealing with untreated mental illness and substance abuse.

Defense Steps Up in Bison Win BY PACE MAIER

Middle linebacker Carlton Littlejohn found himself in the middle of a lot of important defensive plays Saturday North Dakota Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense led the way as the Bison defeated Weber State 24-7 at Steward Stadium in Ogden, Utah in a non-conference Football Championship Subdivision game. Littlejohn played hero for the Bison (2-0) as he scored the go-ahead touchdown and stopped the Wildcats on a fourth-down trick play in the fourth quarter which wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put WSU (0-2) one possession away from tying the game. The senior also scooped up a fumble forced from

a Kyle Emanuel sack and found the end zone three yards away for a touchdown. Littlejohn paced the Bison with 12 tackles and kept the Wildcats out of the end zone throughout most of the game. The Bison put the finishing touches on the Wildcats when they capped off an 8 minute, 2 second 13-play drive with a 38-yard field goal from Adam Keller late in the fourth quarter to put NDSU up 24-7. Running back John Crockett carried the ball 26 times for 123 yards and scored a 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter to put NDSU up 7-0.

Crockett is now 10th in NDSU rushing history with 11 career 100-yard rushing games. Carson Wentz threw for 192 yards on 13-of-22 passing and two interceptions. Wentz threw to nine different receivers in the game but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw for a touchdown. His two picks couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve led to Wildcat points, but the Bison defense responded each time. Wentz threw a 21-yard pass to wide receiver Darius Anderson that set up King Frazierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Zach Vraa caught one pass for 27 yards and became fifth in NDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career receiving yards list.

Emanuel recorded a career-high three sacks and six total tackles. He had 3.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and one pass breakup. The Bison finished with a total of 369 yards, while the Wildcats had 304. Wildcat quarterback Billy Green was 26-for-43 for 240 yards and receiver Shaydon Kehano made nine catches for 88 yards. Thanks to the Bison win, ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;College GameDayâ&#x20AC;? will make a trip to Fargo for its Saturday morning show for the second straight year. The Bison host Incarnate Word (0-2) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in the Fargodome.

North Dakota State’s Lauren Miller Keeps Ball Rolling Humble-minded Miller returns after first-team conference selection in freshman year Corrie Dunshee

Contributing Writer

North Dakota State soccer player Lauren Miller isn’t necessarily one for the spotlight. But it would be hard to avoid it with how she’s playing on the soccer field for the Bison. From a quiet, humble life to a green and action-packed turf, Miller has shown the determination to succeed -attention or not. Miller returns as a first-team All-Summit League and conference Freshman of the Year winner. She led the Bison with 10 goals, seven assists, 27 points and four gamewinning goals. But Miller has made more strides for the Bison. In the first four games of the season, the sophomore from St. Louis Park, Minn., has scored seven goals, five of which have come in three games, all of which she is the only scorer. “Without my teammates’ help, without the passes and their combination plays, those goals wouldn’t happen,” Miller said. “So, it was a good weekend overall for the team.” Born in Fargo, Miller and her family moved to St. Louis Park when she was one year old. Before picking up

ESPN personality Lee Corso might get to be reunited with Corso the bison after all. ESPN’s “College GameDay” is headed back to Fargo, the television show’s Twitter account tweeted Saturday. “College GameDay” made an appearance last year for North Dakota State’s matchup against Delaware State in September. The visit came after the Bison gained national exposure for defeating 2012 Big 12 champion Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan., in a 24-21 thriller. NDSU proved worth of that attention again in its 2014 season opener with a 3414 win against Football Bowl Subdivision Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. The Bison have gone 5-0 against FBS team since 2009, have won three-consecutive Football Championship Subdivision titles and are on a 26-game win streak after beating Weber State 24-7 Saturday. Before the official announcement was made, social media was buzzing with possibility of Fargo being a destination for “College GameDay,” a weekly show that goes to different cities throughout the season. “If @NDSUfootball wins today, @CollegeGameDay to Fargo next week. #Bizon,” Lee Fitting, the show’s producer, said on Twitter Saturday.

soccer, Miller participated in ballet. Asking her mom if she could try something new and more physical, Miller joined soccer and never looked back. Prior to college, Miller played eight seasons of club soccer for the Minnesota Thunder Academy, where top youth clubs from around the United States gather to participate an in increased training environment. Miller made the St. Louis Park High School varsity team in seventh grade. She kept herself busy by playing for her school in the fall and playing club soccer during the winter and spring. Miller was a member of the United States under-14 and under-15 national teams. Thanks to her athletic roots, Miller learned what it takes to succeed. Her mother was a tennis and softball player and her father was a tennis and soccer player. Now a member of the Bison, Miller enjoys the Midwest because she can still visit home and her parents can travel north to see her play. As a student, Miller is majoring in public history and looking at work with archives, or possibly something similar with her degree. Miller has been doing her best to balance life on and off the soccer field. With weekend games approaching, Miller has been catching up on sleep as well as getting ahead in

The show’s cast featuring Corso, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, David Pollack and Samantha Ponder made clear their love for Fargo since their last visit. Fargo was given the Herbie Award for the “College GameDay” crew’s favorite 2013 site. “If the Bizzzzon win today @CollegeGameDay is headed to Fargo next week for the 2nd consecutive year!! NDSU are you readdddy??” Herbstreit said on Twitter Saturday. “Hey, Fargo and @NDSUfootball - get ready for @CollegeGameDay again. Let’s make the Sequel even better!” Fowler tweeted Saturday night. In the 21-year history of “College GameDay”, only three FCS school have been visited, each only one time. Florida A&M, in 2008, was the last FCS team to host the show until last year. Penn is the only other FCS school to host “College GameDay”. The ISU victory raised the question of whether the “College GameDay” crew would come back again for its second visit. But when the time came to start considering the next site, there wasn’t any doubt where the ESPN crew was targeting. “‘North Dakota State vs Weber State is a GameDay implication game, file that away.’ – @cbfowler” the official “College GameDay” Twitter account tweeted Saturday. When the show was hosted in downtown Fargo in 2013, many fans were not happy with the venue. It turned out pretty well, as Herbstreit named it best “GameDay” spot. NDSU announced Sunday that the location will be downtown once again this year

her studies. With a determined attitude, Miller has the mindset of doing her best in whatever she sets out to do. She isn’t much for the attention but is coachable, NDSU head coach Mark Cook said. Even with a great start to the season, Cook said that Miller is still improving. Miller broke her fifth metatarsal bone in her left foot last March which required surgery. After an eight-week recovery period, Miller has been finding ways to get better. “She’s not a very vocal person,” Cook said. “She’s pretty humble.” Even so, Miller knows the work needed for NDSU to succeed. With a quiet, humble attitude and continuous improvement, Miller could have a successful future ahead.
