Bowling for Soup Bowls a Strike

BROOKE HUBERT THE SPECTRUM

giving an intimate feel to larger than life bands. The opening band set the mood for the rest of the night with a loud and demanding song, starring two fierce female singers, invoking comparisons to the fiery Hayley Williams of Paramore. After starting off with a bang, the Ohio band Keys and Corridors revealed they had a 17-hour drive to make it to Fargo tonight with every hour worth it according to them. While many openers act just as placeholder, Keys and Corridors brought their own lyrics and original songs to make their performance standout. The passionate performance had one cathartic song written

The lights were dimmed as a myriad of students poured into the Great Plains Ballroom of the union on May 5. Bowling for Soup, with their opener Keys and Corridors, performed for hundreds of NDSU students and community members with their signature rock style. The whole ballroom was transformed into a nice performance space, with crowds able to stand around and move fluidly through each other during the songs. The setup of the venue allowed the audience to be very close to the performers,

by the guitarist/vocalist who had a girl steal her boyfriend previously. That same guitarist/vocalist also was capable of quite an impressive “screamo” voice to accent the already highenergy songs. In the middle of the opening performance, the band went acoustic for a few songs to bring the audience down a few levels. One of the more serene songs, called “Furniture,” described a girl who didn’t cope with things in the best way, showcasing how “music can really break down barriers.” By the seventh song, the band was back to its upbeat vibe with erratically flashing lights and head banging galore continuing

into songs eight and nine. After their 10th song, the “cursed” one that seems to bring misfortune wherever the band travels, they moved into their final number. The 50-minute set definitely accomplished its job of warming up the crowd to the main event. The band took a selfie with the crowd after performing and before the long, 20-minute wait for Bowling for Soup. After a pre-recorded “hype up” into to the band, the long-awaited performers came onstage to much applause. After welcoming the crowd, the lead singer Jaret explained the difference in appearance by stating “I did not eat the lead singer of Bowling for Soup,

I just ate a s—t ton of pizza.” Another iconic line spoken before the band played any music was, “We were told we couldn’t drink during the show, but we heard we’d be the most sober ones here!” The whole set started off pretty strong with “The Bitch Song” kicking off their night while setting a mood of crass jokes and lewd language. In the middle of the first song, the band continued with plenty of banter and conversation between members while bringing up the topic of circumcision and dick jokes. The next few songs went well, with the guitarist constantly flipping his guitar pick in the air and catching it in a flashy manner. The

band revealed they went to Sickies Garage earlier in the day, which caused several to respond in resounding cheers. The jokingly selfproclaimed, “Greatest band to ever live in the history of the world,” forced everyone in the audience to raise their hands, do spirit fingers, jazz hands and even wacky inflatable arm flailing tube man arms. Right before one of their most innocent songs, the band started a chant of “F that guy” that spread throughout the room, giving a nice contrast to the night. Their most family friendly song, the “Phineas and Ferb” theme song, was met with much adoration from the crowd.

NDSU Takes to Space NDSU and UND students collaborate to send satellite to space Amanda Johnson Staff Writer

North Dakota State and the University of North Dakota have been collaborating together on a CubeSat satellite, named OpenOrbiter 1, that is due to launch into space Aug. 1. “OpenOrbiter 1 will be the first free-flying spacecraft designed and developed in North Dakota,” Jeremy Straub, assistant professor of computer science, said. The CubeSat is about 10 cm by 10 cm by 11 cm and allows NDSU to test and show framework for the building of small satellites. The systems that are used have been designed from scratch and have gone through multiple tests and revisions to reach a point where they are ready to use. “The idea behind open sourcing the design and code to the project is to allow others to follow our

lead, thereby making it easier for other teams to build their own,” Brandon Rudisel, a junior in computer science, said. The goal behind the project is to make space exploration accessible to everyone. It will collect temperature, current, voltage and will have a camera to record the integrity of the interior and exterior of the satellite. The data will be used to analyze how the satellite is performing, what will need to be fixed in the future and how the systems are workings. Rudisel said his part of the project “was to research an idea called App-OnDemand, which would record the temperature of the CPU every five minutes over the course of the day.” The project started in 2012 and “there has been untold hours of volunteered student time, paid student time and faculty and staff time devoted to the project,”

Straub said. NDSU joined the project this fall and has been focused on radio communications and the spacecraft software while collaborating with their UND counterparts. One of the goals is to 3D print in space and the “idea is to use a small camera connected to the main computer board to capture an image of the completed object printed by the satellite,” Rudisel said. If successful, the images captured can be applied in other areas for different purposes. “The next steps in this process are vibration testing and a fit check in the NanoRacks deployer,” which will take place in Houston, Straub said. After the testing in Houston, the satellite will be integrated with the NanoRacks deployer and will be packaged with other CubeSats for loading on to the rocket. “The satellite is scheduled

(Falcon 9) rocket, the rocket will dock with the International Space Station and will be attached to the outside of the ISS where it will be deployed, with other CubeSats, into free-flying Earth orbit.

It’s Campus Construction Season NDSU will receive minor changes over the summer

JACK HASTINGS | THE SPECTRUM

Churchill Residence Hall’s renovations are planned to be finished in July.

Phoebe Ellis

Head News Editor

Churchill Residence Hall will receive its first renovation this summer since it was built in 1931, North Dakota State Facilities Management Director Mike Ellingson said. The building will be brought up to American Disability Act codes and is planned to be finished in July. The corridors will receive ventilation and cooling. Bathrooms will become more privatized. In addition to the renovation of Churchill Hall, there are several

other projects planned for campus. However, state funding limitations will make these renovations difficult. Ellingson said the university was unsure if the state would provide any further funding for campus renovations even though the state has already allocated some money. It cannot be accessed due to a lack of an “emergency clause,” which means the money will remain untouched until July. The push back until July for any new projects means that these projects likely won’t happen. Ellingson believes that is not enough time to complete these construction projects.

The other projects on campus include the maintenance of four small parking lots around campus. These lots include the lot next to Burgum, the lot next to the campus police and the lots outside the library and Memorial Union. The impact on students will not be significant. Construction on another high-rise is expected to last from this summer until next fall and will be located west of Pavek and Seim. The new high-rise is expected to be the same size as the other two high-rises combined. The new high-rise is being built in response to the large number of students that are still on a waiting

list for the high-rises for the 2017-2018 school year. The new building will also help accommodate transfer students. Statistically, living on campus leads to a higher GPA. This new high-rise is created for the large amount of sophomores and juniors who wish to live on campus in the upcoming years. Ellingson and other faculty have witnessed students transfer to other universities just to experience the luxury of living on campus. The only disruption to student life during construction will be noise around the highrises. University Village will also be revamped.

The living complex is outdated and is a non-ADA accessible facility as of now. This will be changed. The goal of tearing down the southwest corner of University Village is to create a new apartment complex complete with an elevator and a more secure entry. It will also receive more rooms with the renovations creating an 80-90 unit complex and additional parking. A smaller project updating the Residence Dining Center is also underway. Thus far, construction crews have added more seating and plan to complete new food stations in different

areas of the dining center to accommodate students’ dietary needs such as gluten-free, vegetarian or lactose intolerance by August. In addition to the projects that are happening, the programming of the expansion for Sudro Hall will start this summer. Ellingson is looking at multiple proposals for the building and the construction is expected to begin by next February. The proposal is currently waiting for a signature from Governor Burgum.

Students Uncover Vice at Bonanzaville Exhibit explores Fargo-Moorhead’s risque history

FLICKR | PHOTO COURTESY

The ‘Uncovering Vice’ exhibit features three areas of history and archeology, telling a story through artifacts and images.

Katherine Kessel Contributing Writer

Graduate and undergraduate students at North Dakota State have been creating and designing an exhibit to be displayed at Bonanzaville. The exhibit, titled “Uncovering Vice in Fargo-Moorhead, 18711920,” will explore in detail life in late 19th century Fargo-Moorhead and its frequent rough and rowdy happenings. The exhibit will feature three areas of history and archeology, telling a story through curated artifacts, images and a timeline

of key events in FargoMoorhead’s history. One section’s focus will be on infamous and illegal establishments offering prostitution, gambling and alcohol. Conversely, it will also tell the story of the community organizations that worked to rid the area of corruption. Another section will centralize around the pivotal character, brothel owner Melvina Massey of the notorious Crystal Palace in Fargo. The Crystal Palace would have been located on the corner of 3rd St. and 2nd Ave., beneath what is now city hall’s parking lot and the soon-to-be entrance of

the new city hall. Massey, who is believed to have been born a slave, rose to affluence through her line of work during her time in the F-M area, with two houses and extravagant possessions at the time of her death in 1911. Massey became a character of notoriety. The final section will display artifacts salvaged from an archeology project last fall during the excavation of the new Fargo city hall, the former location of the Crystal Palace brothel. An ongoing history research project, work on the exhibit began in 2013 when public records of

Massey were discovered by NDSU assistant professor of history Angela Smith and her students. Smith was joined by Kristen Fellows, assistant professor of anthropology at NDSU, in 2014. Their research has been supplemented by Smith’s museum studies students and Fellow’s and John Creese’s anthropology students, who worked to design and install the exhibit and catalogue artifacts salvaged from last fall’s operation. Though initial research was part of the exhibit Taboo Fargo-Moorhead at the Hjemkomst Center in 2013, the exhibit at

Bonazaville will present expanded research on the topic. Museum studies student Courtney Johnson said the topic was chosen to educate the community on the history of the area they are living in. “Even though we are in the Midwest and are known as ‘nice’ today, Fargo and Moorhead used to be part of the ‘Wild West’ and notorious for people indulging in their vices,” Johnson said. Johnson appreciated the opportunity for hands-on experience in the planning and organization of museum exhibits. Smith stressed the

importance of preserving the history of our cities, and said that hands on, tangible evidence of historical events increase the interest of citizens. She encouraged citizens to develop a relationship with the NDSU Archives, talk to archivists, take a history class and learn about genealogy to increase their knowledge of local history. The exhibit, which has its opening night May 8 at 7 p.m., will be open for a year. Admission will be free on the opening night but will be required to enter Bonanzaville any other time throughout the year.

Annual State Funding Cut, Nursing Programs Kept Dean Bresciani announces 17 percent budget cut to NDSU mandated by legislature Sam Caspers Co-News Editor

President Dean Bresciani announced Tuesday in an email to university employees that North Dakota State will lose roughly 17 percent of its annual state funding. Governor Doug Burgum finalized the decision by approving the actions of the 65th Legislative Assembly, which adjourned April 27.

For context, NDSU has an annual operating budget of approximately $458 million dollars with 28 percent currently coming from the state. “It goes without saying that we are in the midst of one of NDSU’s greatest-ever challenges,” Bresciani said. A potential tuition increase of 4 percent each of the next two years and the reception of the outstanding $1.6 million from the 2009 collapse of

Minard Hall will combat the nearly $77.8 million cut. Regardless of cuts, NDSU shows promising growth. Twenty-five hundred eligible students can participate in this year’s spring graduation, making it the largest in NDSU’s history. The assembly approved other projects that continue helping the university grow in both physical size and number of enrolled students. “We are starting

on a path to recovery,” Bresciani said. The projects include a privately-funded addition to Sudro Hall, a new residence hall located west of the existing Seim and Thompson Halls and initial plans to replace the University Village complex. The Sudro Hall addition allows the university’s nursing and masters of public health programs to continue thriving. Nursing programs at the

university will be kept, even those in collaboration with Bismarck State College. The on-campus registered nurse to bachelor of science in nursing completion program and doctor of nursing practice program will continue operating. Successful healthcare programs prepare graduates for the chance to fill growing healthcare positions throughout North Dakota. Other approvals made

by the assembly include re-establishing campus police’s ability to work with local police to maintain safety in areas close to all campus buildings and creating exceptions in public record laws. The 65th Legislative Assembly consisted of 47 senators and 94 representatives from North Dakota. Their legislature affects all universities and colleges in the state.

No Money, More Drugs Fargo-Moorhead news tidbits to know before fall 2017 Casey McCarty

Contributing Writer

Budget breaking

The state of North Dakota is undergoing funding turmoil this legislative session. Lawmakers voted in the final week of April to cut North Dakota State’s budget by a total of approximately 17 percent. The cut comes atop a 6.55 percent cut that occurred in the 2015-17 biennium. NDSU’s budget can be broken down into three

parts: 25 percent made up of tuition and student fees revenue; 47 percent from research, grants, auxiliary and other services; 28 percent from state funding, per a listserv NDSU President Dean Bresciani sent Wednesday. Bresciani added in his listserv the blow of budget cuts should be softened due to higher education institutions being allowed a tuition increase for up to 4 percent in the next two years in conjunction with stable enrollment.

Drugs are bad

There is an epidemic of

opioid drugs in the FargoMoorhead area. Recently, fentanyl and carfentanil have been found in the F-M area. Carfentanil is an elephant tranquilizer, which is potent enough to kill a human in a dose the size of a few grains of salt. Doses of heroin have been laced with fentanyl, a more powerful narcotic. Both drugs are so powerful that a dose of naloxone, a drug used to block the effects of opioids also known by its brand name Narcan, may not be strong enough to reverse the effects of an overdose.

Burgum, Bresciani, Wenzel

Three names that will commonly be covered in the news of The Spectrum are North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, NDSU President Dean Bresciani and Student Body President Mason Wenzel. Burgum is an NDSU alumnus who completed his degree in the 1970s. He is a former NDSU student body president, winning against two other tickets in his sophomore year. He won his governorship as a Republican candidate with

76.5 percent of the total vote. Burgum is the fourth consecutive republican governor of North Dakota. Bresciani has been NDSU’s president since 2010, the school’s 14th president. Throughout his duration at NDSU, Bresciani has come under fire for flying first class to India and creating media rules for NDSU athletics, which prohibited any media entity without exclusive NDSU media rights from covering Bison football and basketball, the latter of which led to an independent investigation.

A vote on extending his contract by the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education was postponed from June to November in 2016. The vote ultimately ended in his extension through June 2018, in line with all other NDUS presidents, save Mark Kennedy from the University of North Dakota. Wenzel was the secondever student body president to be elected while running unopposed, with the first coming in 2013. He will be a senior studying economics and finance in the coming school year.

BISON ABROAD Spontaneity Leads To Beautiful Adventures A trip on a whim to Fiji, Keana

Skydiving in Bryon Bay.

Madison Hapka Contributing Writer

My semester abroad is reaching the halfway mark. It’s crazy to think that I have already spent two and a half months here. Australia has not only shown me some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever laid eyes on, but it has given me so many memorable experiences. Knowing that I am nearly halfway through my semester is bittersweet. However, I still have the second half to continue making memories, experience new things and meet new people. The best part of reaching the halfway mark is that I cherish each day more as time goes on. One of the keys to happiness is treating yourself; my version of the greatest treat is travel. So, I treated myself by booking my flight to Fiji. One of my favorite ways to approach decisions is with spontaneity. There is no better feeling than getting a sudden idea, and in that moment, choosing to make it happen. This gives me this sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. The entirety of the trip was completely done on a whim. I enjoyed this because I never knew what to expect. Although planning is crucial to vacation structure in most cases, too much of it can take away the thrill of making spur of the moment decisions. Fiji has so much culture to offer, which came as a slight surprise initially, but this allowed me to appreciate the extreme differences in comparison to Australia and the US.

When we initially decided to go to the islands, I felt as though I had an idea of what they would be like, because of the island hopping that I did in Greece last summer. I was completely wrong. The islands that I experienced in Greece were much larger, and they resembled a city with surrounding beaches. The islands in Fiji were extremely small and remote. This turned out to be one of the best things I could have ever wished for. Although there was access to the internet on two of the three islands, the time to use it was limited. At first, this seemed overwhelming. After a day without it, I learned to appreciate the cleanse. Having multiple days on a beautiful island without social media and the outside world is something that I would highly recommend for anyone.

We learned that each village in Fiji speaks their own language, but there is a universal language that people from all of the villages can use to communicate with each other. When we were talking about tourists and our generation, he was telling us how it makes him sad when there’s this great sunset over the water and people rush to take out their phones to capture it. My favorite thing that he said to us was, “sometimes you have to let your eyes be the camera.” Following that night, I promised myself that I would watch the next sunset

and just enjoy it without any pictures and it was one of the best feelings in the world. Being able to stop and appreciate the little things without any documentation of them is something that this generation is letting slip through our fingers. The highlights of Fiji were the people that we met, the gorgeous islands that we saw, the ridiculously clear blue water, the snorkeling that we did and the time that we took for peace and quiet. Fiji is somewhere that is individually significant in several ways and somewhere that I will always appreciate for everything that it taught me about myself. My most recent exciting experience following Fiji

was skydiving in Byron Bay. It was the best feeling I have ever experienced. Falling through the clouds and being able to wave to my good friend across the sky was something that I will never forget. The adrenaline was unmeasurable and I will cherish that memory forever. With each new place that I explore, the urge to see more continues to grow. As much fun as I’ve had going out to the nightclubs here, I would take a weekend trip to a new place over that any day. The first half of my semester has been filled with a lot of local trips, but this second half will be filled with several trips far from the Sunshine Coast.

healthy herd Food Under 500 | Chickpea Curry Send your taste buds on a hot vacation over summer break Emma Hawley

Contributing Writer

I have often found myself passing the spice rack at the Dining Center and wondering what I could possibly do with all the powders and salts that there are to choose from. The options range from cajun jerk to garlic powder and lemon pepper salt. For those who have grown up without much experience cooking, the spice rack can be a bit intimidating. As I am one of those people, I have found it easiest to slowly ease into the process of cooking with these

various flavors by looking up recipes and trying them out. During my latest experiment with food in the dining centers, I used a blend of curry cayenne powders to perfect the healthy chickpea and rice curry dish. Recreating the dishes that you used to eat at home with your family is not as difficult as it may seem. For those whose parents made a chicken and rice curry, the meal can be replicated right here in the North Dakota State University Dining Centers. The base of the meal can incorporate a number of different things.

Rice and chicken are a great traditional method, but to mix things up a bit try substituting them with chickpeas and quinoa. Kessel’s Curry Ingredients ¼ cup milk 1 tablespoon curry powder ¼ tablespoon cayenne powder Drizzle of honey Instructions To prepare this dish, throw about a cup of chickpeas and a blend of quinoa/chopped onions onto the grill with some olive oil. Let the mixture sizzle and

put a cover over to trap the heat. While the chickpeas cook, grab a small bowl to prepare fellow NDSU student Katherine Kessel’s divine curry sauce to tie everything together. After the sauce has been created and properly warmed up in the microwave, the tender chickpeas and quinoa can come together with the spicy curry sauce. This completes a delicious replica of those homemade dishes we all love and miss, all in just under 500 calories. EMMA HAWLEY | THE SPECTRUM

BOWLING FOR SOUP | FROM COVER Eventually they went back to their more hardcore songs, even playing the Fountains of Wayne hit “Stacy’s Mom” to please the audience as they demanded songs they could sing along to. One of the most memorable lines of the night, spoken jokingly by the band’s front man, was, “If you guys keep singing other people’s songs we can just go,” which was said after the whole crowd sang Smash Mouth’s “All Star” during a quiet moment. The students sang the whole first part of the song until the end of the chorus before the band had the crowd literally sing “Row your Boat” in a

round to continue the theme of “singing other people’s songs.” Near the end of the night, the band left the stage before playing their hit “1985,” forcing the audience to chant for an encore performance of their biggest hit and the reason that half the audience was there. Their current rendition of the classic song was a great way to finish the concert and give everyone what they came for. Earplugs would have been very useful for both bands’ performances, especially with the smaller room and the large speakers blaring the high-energy music. A constant theme throughout the show was

sound issues that the band kept talking about to their crew. After every other song it seemed, the band would ask for vocals to be turned up or down, playback to be altered and several other sound issues. However, the band turned this misfortune into a chance to entertain; every time they would talk to their sound guy, “Gabe,” they had the audience wave to him “because it was his first day.” When asked about the concert, freshman Megan Thorson said, “It exceeded my expectations. I thought they were really good even through it’s been a long time since they were a big deal.”

Top 5 Sporting Events of 2016-17 The top highlights of the past school year Thomas Evanella Staff Writer

With NDSU’s 2016-17 sporting calendar drawing to a close, it is time to reflect on the year that was for the Bison. The past season yielded some gripping and dramatic contests on the gridiron, the hardwood and the diamond. As the book closes on an exciting year, here are the top five sporting events from 2016-17.

5. Enderle Hat-trick hero against UND, Sept. 2 A hat trick, the first of her career, from sophomore Holly Enderle saw the Bison pass in-state rivals UND by a final tally of 4-1. Enderle got the scoring started in the eighth minute with her first goal of the season off of Lauren Miller’s corner kick. The sophomore found the back of the net a second time in the 26th minute to double the visiting Bison’s advantage. Less than one minute later, the Fighting Hawks clawed back into the game with a goal from Katie Moller, but Enderle completed her hat trick in the 33rd minute to bury the Hawks.

4. Wrestling knocks off Iowa State, Nov. 6 In a contest that tilted back and forth, the Herd ultimately bested Iowa State University, topping the Cyclones 25-16. NDSU lost the first two matches, but Mitch Friedman, Clay Ream and Andrew Fogarty won the following three matches to give the Bison a 10-7 lead. The Bison ran up against two nationally ranked wrestlers in the 174-pound and 184-pound matches, allowing ISU to go out in front 16-10. In the first of the final three matches, Cordell Eaton recorded a major decision to bring the Herd to within two points.

Senior Ben Tynan followed up with a pin the 285 pound class to earn six points for the Bison and give them a four point lead. Fellow senior Josh Rodriguez won the final match of the day with a technical fall to cement the Herd’s victory over the No. 14 ranked Cyclones.

3. Seventh inning explosion Oral Roberts, May 5

In the opening game of a critical series against the leaders of the Summit League, the Bison clipped the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles by a score of 10-7. Pitcher Luke Lind conceded two runs in the third inning, but the Bison immediately rallied around their pitcher to tie the game in the home half of the frame. Lind was unable to steady himself, though, giving up three runs in the fifth inning prior to being removed. Alec Abercrombie homered for the Bison to bring the deficit to two, but Chris Choles, who relieved Lind, gave up a run in both the sixth and seventh innings. The game turned for the Bison in the bottom of the seventh inning. Mason Pierzchalski knocked in two runs with a single to narrow ORU’s lead to 7-4. Ben Petersen and Logan Busch both walked to drive in runs. Following Busch, JT Core singled to bring home Petersen and Pierzchalski and take an 8-7 lead. In total, the Bison put seven runners on base and plated five runs, causing three different Golden Eagles hurlers to be used. The Bison tacked on two insurance runs in the eighth inning to secure the 10-7 win and gain an important win over the Summit League leaders.

2. The battle at Kinnick, Sept. 17

The Bison football team pulled off a stunning upset over the University of

Iowa Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium. After the Herd jumped out to a 7-0 lead courtesy of linebacker M.J. Stumpf’s pick six, Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter to give the home side a 14-7 lead. King Frazier’s rushing touchdown with 8:06 remaining in the third quarter tied the game for NDSU. Beathard tossed another touchdown in the third quarter to give the Hawkeyes a seven-point advantage again. In signature Bison fashion, NDSU cobbled together a 15 play, 80 yard scoring drive, capped off by senior Chase Morlock’s touchdown reception. The subsequent Iowa drive was held to a threeand-out, giving the ball to the Bison with less than two minutes to play. The Bison drove to the Iowa 20yard line, and kicker Cam Pederson narrowly banged a field goal through the uprights as time expired for the 23-21 triumph. Iowa, ranked No. 11 at the time and coming off of a season which ended in the Rose Bowl, became the Bison’s sixth consecutive FBS foe to go down.

1. Senior day 2OT shootout, Feb. 18

On senior day at the Scheels Center, the Bison men’s basketball squad got the better of Western Illinois, outlasting the Leathernecks in double overtime. The game, undoubtedly the most enthralling of the Sanford Health Athletic Complex’s inaugural season, featured 20 ties and 14 lead changes. Fittingly, the two seniors being honored, Carlin Dupree and Dexter Werner, led the Bison with two legacy-defining performances. Dupree scored 22 points and in 43 minutes. Werner recorded 21 points and four blocks. It was the duo’s clutch play down the final stretch that cemented the

BRITTANY HOFMANN | THE SPECTRUM

In the SHAC’s inaugural season, a basketball highlight takes the top spot in our list. Bison’s win. NDSU trailed by seven with 2:57 remaining in the second period, but rallied and tied the game on a Dupree bucket with 47 seconds remaining. In that time, Werner and Dupree were the only Bison players who scored.

Unable to end it in the first overtime, the Bison throttled the Leathernecks 13-4 in the second overtime period. Six of the 13 double overtime points came from Dupree. NDSU shot 51.8 percent in the game en route to the 100-91 win. Head coach

Dave Richman offered touching tributes to his seniors in front of what remained of the 4,696 fans who had attended the game. With so many fantastic moments from the past year’s athletic seasons, here is to hoping that 2017-18 brings many more.

Sports Editor’s Summer Watch Guide The sports to watch before returning to your regularly scheduled programming Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor

Summer, at least for NDSU students, is here. With that, the summer schedules for various sports kick into gear. Here are the sporting events that should be on your radar over the next couple of months.

Indianapolis 500 May 28

For some people (myself included), this weekend’s premier motorsport event is usually not the 500. Rather, Formula 1 fans will be waking up early stateside to watch the Monaco Grand Prix. This year is special though, as the American side of the racing Triple Crown will overshadow the European. The reason is because of one driver who won’t be in Monte Carlo. Two-time world

champion Fernando Alonso will skip the Monaco GP, an event he has won in 2006 and 2007, for Indy. Alonso has made it no secret that he wants to become the second driver to get the Triple Crown, joining Graham Hill in the exclusive club. Hill won at Monaco five times, Indy in 1966 and finished the Crown with the 24 Hour of Le Mans victory in 1972 Alonso will pilot McLaren’s return to Indy, an event the team has won twice. There is no doubting the difficulty that the Spaniard will have in accomplishing his task, but the world has turned its attention to the IndyCar series for at least one weekend. There is so much attention that nearly 1 million people tuned in for the solo rookie test Alonso and his orange McLaren had in early May.

And as those who watched the 500 last year will know, anything can happen.

NBA finals - June 1

Writing this a month out from the first tip of the finals, it is safe to say that it is all up for grabs. At time of writing, the conference semifinals are just a couple games in. Looking at the bracket, the potential conference finals are just as intriguing as potential finals. LeBron James and Isaiah Thomas for the East? Yes please. Thomas has been nothing short of incredible this postseason. That is from just a basketball perspective, one that does not include the passing of his sister during the playoffs. Out west, the Warriors will have to face some demons to get to the finals, facing either the ageless Spurs, who finally are

showing some age with Tony Parker out or James Harden and the Rockets. Bold prediction, the Rockets will meet the Warriors for the West. Golden State blows through in five games, leading James Harden to join the Warriors in the summer after realizing that he can’t beat them. As for who wins the finals, who knows at this point?

UEFA Champions League final - June 3

The world’s premier soccer club competition will wrap up in Cardiff. With one leg of the semifinals in the books at time of writing, it looks like the two sides taking part are clear. Real Madrid cruised to a 3-0 advantage at home over inter-city rival Atletico Madrid. Not a surprise that

it was behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the hat trick. While Real and their potent attack look to lay waste to anyone in Wales, it might be a more difficult task. That’s because on the other side, Juventus look to close out Monaco after winning 2-0 away. The Italian’s defense has been rock solid in the tournament, and they just don’t like conceding to anyone, including Barcelona in the quarters. It has been 621 minutes since Juve have allowed a goal, with Gianluigi Buffon, the 39-year-old veteran, between the post getting it done. Offense against defense to see who is Europe’s best, game on.

Quick hits:

Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles June 1-4

Racist chants, fastball behind the batter’s knees, ejections for unintentionally hitting a batter with a slow curve. That was the last time these teams met, let’s see if they put aside their differences for another fourgame set. MLB All-Star Festivities - July 9-11 There is one reason why this is on here, someone get Madison Bumgarner healthy and hitting in the Home Run Derby. U.S. Open - June 15-18 Golfers may enjoy the nice drive to Wisconsin to watch golf’s second major at Erin Hills. For those not going, here is to hoping that Dustin Johnson is healthy from his Master’s fall. It could be an interesting battle on a course that can play up to five miles in length and has rough a foot deep.

Make the Fargodome Loud Again Hey freshmen, we need your help

FILE PHOTO | THE SPECTRUM

The student section is a crazy, great place, but did not have much effect last year.

Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor

something not easily seen but it was heard. Let’s be clear, the Fargodome on gameday may be one of the loudest places in the country. It may be fair to warn you now that your hearing may be impaired after four years of games. But the armor of the stronghold is cracking. The Fargodome fortress is not the advantage it once was. Last year was the first time since 2010 when the Bison lost twice in the building. The sad fact is there should have been two more. Charleston Southern had never played in Fargo before the opener last year and they took the Bison to overtime. They had a chance to win the game

with a last second field goal, but the Buccaneers missed. In the 16 seasons of NDSU football in the Fargodome, this was the first OT game in the building. NDSU was able to squeak out an opening day win. Surely, there was going to be another long wait for more free football. The wait was seven days. Eastern Washington, in their first meeting with the Bison since 2009, did the same. This time, the Bison needed a last gasp field goal to put it to overtime. Cross off two teams that aren’t used to the noise going unaffected by the crowd. Surely then, those teams that visit Fargo more often were going to do damage.

Enter sworn enemy South Dakota State. In the Dakota Marker game, NDSU’s sole trophy they play for at the moment, the Bison did their thing early. The two-score lead at halftime, though, was flattering, as the Jackrabbits left plenty of points on the board. That is when some students committed a cardinal sin. They left early. Then the Jacks came back and shocked those fans that remained with a last second touchdown. Things got back to normal, and NDSU took care of business. The run to a possible sixth straight championship saw the Bison trample the Jacks in the quarterfinals. They were one win away from another trip to

U S D

Frisco but then came James Madison. The last time they came to Fargo, they were the first victims of the charge that led to five straight national championships. This time, due to a flukey NCAA rule, they had the gall to play their intro in the Fargodome. After the game, their head coach was surprised that they weren’t booed more. It was an eerily quiet place at times as James Madison dominated early. NDSU came back, but it was not enough. So now, the Bison will have to chase the title. And it starts with the fans. Incoming freshman, you will learn quickly. The student section should be a loud place.

In past years, it was believed the crowd at the Fargodome was good for a one-touchdown advantage. That is not the case now. For students who have been to a game the past couple of years, the energy in the Fargodome pregame is palpable. By the time “Thunderstruck” ends and the lights turn on, the amount of energy is already felt. Now, we need some reinforcements. So, for you freshman, get your tickets, get in line, get loud. We need your help because we want that national championship back.

Six Tips for the Summer Before Freshman Year Help your transition into college by following these 6 tips

Miranda Stambler Features Editor

We have all been there — the summer before freshman year waiting for the new chapter of our lives to begin. You are new and once again called “Freshman”. The summer before going to college is exciting, but also nerveracking because of the change that you are about to endure. Here are six tips for the summer before freshman

year that I wish someone had told me about so you do not panic.

1. Buying textbooks Buying textbooks will always be stressful. You want to find the cheapest way possible. There are many ways to get a textbook: renting, buying, e-book, loose-leaf or bound. Do your research on what is the best option. Do not forget that renting textbooks is not always bad; if it is an elective that is not in your field of interest, rent the book.

INSIDE

2. Save money

If it was not before, this is a huge part of your life now: saving money. The summer before college is important. It gives you that extra cash for when you make new friends who want to go hang out or order pizza.

3. Contact your roommate

Contacting your new roommate is very helpful. You get to introduce yourself, plan together

The best books to read this summer according to our A&E editor

and break the ice over technology rather than in person. Keep it realistic; you may not become “besties” with your Freshman year roommate, but they will be a huge part of your life for the next year.

4. Make a packing list

Making a packing list early will come in handy later. Look up what you need and try on old clothes to make sure they still fit. Also, think of the things

you would miss. Do not pack that shirt you have not worn in two years, pack the item that makes a place feel like home.

5. Visit favorite local restaurants

Sure, there are some similar restaurants near Fargo, but there are some in your hometown that cannot be replaced. There have been multiple times that I have craved something from a restaurant back home. So go to these irreplaceable places and savor every bite.

6. Relax

This is the most important tip for this summer. Spend time with your friends and family and relax. Make some memories before starting this chapter. Entering college is nerve racking and exciting, but take this time to take a deep breath and enjoy your summer. Follow these tips and they will make the transition a little easier. This summer will fly by and before you know it you will be on your way to NDSU.

Editor’s Choice: TBR Meet Summer The best books to read this summer according to your local A&E editor Paige Johnson A&E Editor

Ah, summer. Dandelions blooming in the grass. Fluffy white clouds crossing big, blue skies. Sun shining on your back. What could we add to this equation to make it the best summer ever? Books, of course. While most people spend their summer away from the written word (having already got their fill during the school year), summer provides ample opportunity for discovering a recent bestseller, a classic or even just a light, fluffy tale. Here are my top picks for books to read this summer:

“Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe

If the colonization of Africa by white people doesn’t scream summer, I don’t know what does. But in all seriousness, while Achebe’s work may not seem like a scintillating summer story, it’s extremely well-written and tells an important story. “Things Fall Apart” follows Okonkwo, part of the village Umuofia in Nigeria. A strong-man and outstanding member of his village, Okonkwo is trying to mend his family’s place in the village after the shame of his father. Okonkwo’s resistance to

change and commitment to his village causes him to lose his place in society and be exiled. When he returns, he finds everything has fundamentally changed: Christians have descended on Nigeria and are intent on converting the members of Umuofia. And with the Christians, Okonkwo is thrust into the same position as the father he hates. “Things Fall Apart” is a vibrant story from one of Nigeria’s best authors and will give you excellent talking points like masculinity, tradition and colonization when you return to campus.

“The History of the Future” by Edward McPherson

This essay collection allows you to take a road trip across the United States without leaving the comfort of your home. Or, if you are planning on going on a road trip, you may learn a few things from this collection. Edward McPherson’s third book examines a variety of places in the United States — from Dallas, Texas to St. Louis, Missouri and even here in North Dakota — and their relation to the mythos that surrounds the places many of us call home.

“The Gin Closet” by Leslie Jamison

I love Leslie Jamison’s essay collection, “The Empathy Exams,” so it’s only natural that I would love her novel “The Gin Closet” as well. Like “Things Fall Apart,” “The Gin Closet” isn’t exactly a light and fluffy book for summer. “The Gin Closet” describes the life of Tilly, an alcoholic, PAIGE JOHNSON | THE SPECTRUM and her niece, Stella, who Achebe’s novel set in colonial Nigeria may not seem like a riveting has her own bad habits. By summer tale, but the story of Okonkwo is a vibrant one worth a tragedy, the two meet for the first time in their respective summer read. lives, changing the future

for both. While some changein-perspective books can easily grate on the nerves, Jamison’s chapters don’t rely on cliffhangers to keep the reader captivated. The author is also an artist with words. Her realistic telling of the pain of alcoholism and not knowing your place in the world are almost tactile when reading about them. The book is a little slow, but it’s pace fits a long, hot summer day.

“1984” by George Orwell

After the election of President Trump, the sales for dystopian fiction skyrocketed, including “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood, “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley and finally, “1984” by George Orwell. Orwell’s pessimistic view of the future may have seemed far-fetched and unrealistic while in high school, but his insinuations about American politics is extremely relevant and insightful. “1984” is set in a future world where Big Brother watches over all for dissenting viewpoints. Dissenters often disappear to the Ministry of Love. Winston Smith, a member of this authoritarian society, is terrified of the administration but loathes the system. His form of rebellion is to have an affair with fellow worker Julia and read “The Book,” a clandestine text that reveals ways to overthrow Big Brother. Criticism of the government is rife throughout this book, so obviously it’s a top choice.

“The Truth About Forever” by Sarah Dessen Okay, hear me out:

Leslie Jamison’s slow, descriptive novel ‘The Gin Closet’ is a perfect compliment to a long, hot summer day. Sarah Dessen is one of the only young adult romance authors that I can actually stomach. What’s more is her content is very light, making it great for when you want to just sit back and relax. “The Truth About Forever,” one of many Dessen books, follows Macy, who has everything under control: her life is planned out and she’s going to help her mother prepare for an opening. While her boyfriend is away at Brain Camp, Macy will begin preparing for her senior year. Then, she gets a job at the chaotic and delightful Wish Catering. Suddenly, Macy is working odd hours with odd people. And then there’s Wes, the cute boy that Macy is so comfortable with but

who so doesn’t fit into her plans. While Dessen writes plenty of romantic fluff, she also tackles bigger concepts like death and planning for the future. Specifically, Dessen comments about how maybe, just maybe, your plan can be wrong.

Fargo Females, Fighting

FLICKS and Funny

Your guide to this summer’s releases, featuring comedy, action and a whole lot of hilarity

Andrew Fugleberg Staff Writer

This summer has a lot of exciting movies coming out, including action and comedy for fans of all genres to see. Try sipping an ice-cold lemonade while kicking back and watching these titles.

“Snatched” May 12

Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn star in this summer comedy, playing a mother/ daughter pair. Schumer stars as Emily, an impulsive young woman dumped by her boyfriend right before an exotic vacation. Unable to cancel her couples travel plans, Emily ropes her overly cautious mother Linda (Hawn) into a South American adventure. Unfortunately, the vacation turns dangerous, forcing the polar-opposites to work together and get out of the jungle alive. The movie should be moderately funny, with Schumer and Hawn having good on-screen chemistry. However, Schumer’s comedy stylings aren’t for everyone; those who aren’t a fan of sexual jokes should not buy a ticket.

“Baywatch” May 26

Fans of the classic “Baywatch” television show or fans of seeing Zac Efron shirtless should both enjoy watching this action/ comedy film debuting this summer. Dwayne Johnson stars as Mitch Buchannon, the

experienced leader of an elite staff of lifeguards. Buchannon leads the overconfident Matt Brody (Efron), a disgraced Olympic star using the lifeguarding gig to get some positive press. The two must work together along with the rest of the lifeguards to bring down a drug trafficking operation occurring on their beach. Audience members should expect explosions, a crude love story and plenty of scantily clad co-eds in place of a gripping plot.

“Wonder Woman” June 2

A badass female superhero takes the lead in this origin story about the beloved princess of the Amazons. Diana (Gal Gadot) is an incomparable warrior on her island paradise, separated from the rest of the world. When a fighter pilot (Chris Pine) lands on this sheltered location, he tells Diana about the huge conflict happening: World War I. Trusting in her abilities to stop the war and bring down its cause, Ares (the god of war), Diana leaves her home for the first time to fully discover her powers while fighting among exclusively men. Superhero fans and feminists alike should be excited for this rendition of the famous demigod finally getting the spotlight she deserves.

“Rough Night” June 16

What would you do if a fun night out turned into a cover-up for a murder?

BAGO GAMS | PHOTO COURTESY

Gal Gadot stars as Wonder Woman in the film by the same name heading to theaters on June 2. That’s the premise for this comedy coming out early this summer. Five female friends, played by Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer and Zoe Kravitz, reunite ten years after graduating college for a wild bachelorette party. The girls accidentally kill a male stripper during the night, and spend the next several hours trying to cover up the crime they’ve committed. Wacky antics ensue as the females bond over their shared sin. This movie should have several hilarious moments with the seasoned cast, but the plot setup is fairly weak. Furthermore, many

have criticized the movie for making light of a very real threat to strippers and sex workers, with abuse and murder an acute problem in the industry.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” July 7

Peter Parker is back for a third reboot within 15 years, this time as part of the bigger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Holland stars as the titular character, fresh off appearing in “Captain America: Civil War.” “Homecoming” will focus on Parker as he tries to have a normal high school experience while

balancing his role as a friendly neighborhood superhero. Eventually, the villainous Vulture threatens to destroy everything and everyone important to the young hero. Zendaya also stars in this film as Peter’s friend or potentially as his love interest. This film will combine action and snarky comedy in a satisfying way that most Marvel films can accomplish, setting up the future of the franchise.

“Atomic Blonde” July 28

Academy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron stars in this action thriller as Lorraine Broughton, a highranking spy within MI6.

Her mission sends her off to Berlin, immediately after the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall. While in the foreign country, Broughton cooperates with the station chief, David Percival (James McAvoy), as the two attempt to take down a vicious espionage ring killing agents mysteriously. When the two combine their talents, there’s little that can stop them in their mission to save the West’s entire intelligence campaign. Theron fights like a maniac in the trailers and has always been good as playing a savage killer, giving reason to believe this movie will live up to the hype.

The Spectrum

Campus Bathroom Review: Part Two The inside scoop on where is best to take a deuce

ERIK JONASSON II | THE SPECTRUM

The lovely Mylie Herman showing off the Family Life Center bathrooms.

Erik Jonasson II Opinion Editor

Welcome to North Dakota State. We are a sprawling university with many amenities. Let’s not lie to ourselves though.

Look, these are a secret; they are small; they are nice; oh my god, they reflect like a goddamn diamond. Mason Wenzel, student body president, told me these are his bathrooms of choice, adding they are a heavily guarded secret.

privacy you get in the gender-neutral bathrooms. I was hooked the moment that I locked the door. I took my time away from society with pleasure. No, this bathroom isn’t going to knock your socks off with aesthetics. But it

can totally get down with.

South Engineering 2nd floor men’s bathroom

You know the trend with tiny houses? Yeah, this is that concept in bathroom form. If you are looking

2nd floor Memorial Union bathrooms

It has been said before, but these are my Spectrum bathrooms. They are also easily the best bathrooms in the union. First floor bathrooms are gross. Avoid these at all cost. Also, the bathrooms in the basement offer too many awkward encounters. Another nice thing about the union 2nd floor bathrooms is the fact that it is right next to The Spectrum office and the Memorial Union Gallery. Go check out some art and then grab an application to write for us. This is also a great bathroom to take your parents to. Show off your student focused, land grant, research university, but avoid showing them the toilet paper, that stuff sucks.

The bad ERIK JONASSON II | THE SPECTRUM

Family Life Center family bathroom is rated the best bathroom to take a nap in.

Sure, we could write about all of the obscure things here at NDSU, like the log cabin or the dungeon under Ladd Hall, but come on, do you really need to know about that? Bathrooms, on the other hand, are a part of everyday life. To the incoming freshmen, you need direction in life. Many of the upperclassmen have been here for years (too many to count for some) so why not give you the inside scoop on a place to take a deuce?

The good

Look, these are the ones you want to go out of your way for. The ones you snapchat about and the ones you call home to tell your mom and dad about how comfy and cozy it feels. These are the winners that are listed on the map and the ones we suggest you go visit. The ultimate get-to-know NDSU experience is visiting all of these bathrooms and taking pictures of your adventure.

Family Life Center bathrooms

Expect presidential guards to guard these bathrooms. Overall, nothing says elegance like a shiny tile job and these bathrooms got it. Go to the bathroom like royalty and take a bathroom vacation to here occasionally.

Family Life Center family bathroom

Private, private, oh my private. Goodness gracious this private bathroom is huge. Honestly, if you need to take a nap, bring a sleeping bag and some air fresheners. This bathroom has nice tile and is large enough to throw a party in. As far as sleeping in this bathroom, I would suggest bringing a foam pad or something. Honestly the floor is still hard. Take that study break. Bring a pad and a blanket and relax to your heart’s content.

A. Glenn Hill Center genderneutral bathrooms

It has been stated before, but these are an editor’s choice. It should not be underrated the sense of

OPINION

will blow you away with privacy. Go ahead and play on your phone for 10 minutes, you earned it. The other thing that makes the gender-neutral bathrooms so good is knowing that they are there for people that really need them, which is something I

for a unique experience go here. It is small, cramped almost, but it looks great. Also, this is a single stall bathroom. Meaning you have it all to yourself for at least a little while. While you’re there, go say hi to the dog of South Engineering.

These are the bathrooms that you avoid at all costs. If you ever find yourself in these buildings, building hop to use the bathroom.

E. Morrow Lebedeff Hall bathrooms

Student Body Vice President Katie Mastel told me these bathrooms are the worst. Avoid at all costs. That comes with a stamp of approval from student government. This caught my interest. I did some boots-on-the-

ground journalism and found that those rumors were indeed true. Avoid at all cost. The lighting is worth gagging at. Nothing screams enjoyment. No, rather this one screams bleak nothingness and bland cream walls.

The fabled bathrooms of Dunbar

Dunbar can’t do anything right. This is one of the grossest buildings on campus. This might be the chemistry building, but I assure you, you will n0t find any chemistry with this decrepit bathroom. If I were to give a word to describe this bathroom it would have to be scary. Avoid at all costs, like don’t use the bathroom, but it is a sight to see. How can this bathroom even exist? Yes, the bathroom is simply that bad. As Trump would put it, “It’s a bad dude.”

Conclusion

Bathrooms are a part of your everyday experience. You live here. You go to school here. Make the next year of your life pleasurable by at least answering nature in a decent bathroom. Why should any student pay tuition, pay for classes, pay for books and not have a nice time in the bathroom? As for your next bathroom vacation, keep these in mind, and remember to never stop

NDSU’s Cuts Equate to Poor Quality of Education Budget cuts place a strain on the students and the faculty Charli Joergensen Contributing Writer

Before we get down to the nitty gritty, one piece of conversation needs to be brought up. Incoming NDSU freshman, welcome. Welcome to the land of the Herd, and welcome to a great school for college athletics. Don’t let the fact that the football team didn’t win the championship last year distract you from anything. This school is a mid-major powerhouse. With that business taken care of, it is time to get to work because we are in need of your services. Last year, something happened and it was something not easily seen but it was heard. Let’s be clear, the Fargodome on gameday may be one of the loudest places in the country. It may be fair to warn you now that your hearing may be impaired after four years of games. But the armor of the stronghold is cracking. The Fargodome fortress is not the advantage it once was. Last year was the first time since 2010 when the Bison lost twice in the building. The sad fact is there should have been two more. Charleston Southern had never played in Fargo before the opener last year and they took the Bison to overtime. They had a chance to win the game with a last second field goal, but the Buccaneers missed. In the 16 seasons of NDSU football in the

Fargodome, this was the first OT game in the building. NDSU was able to squeak out an opening day win. Surely, there was going to be another long wait for more free football. The wait was seven days. Eastern Washington, in their first meeting with the Bison since 2009, did the same. This time, the Bison needed a last gasp field goal to put it to overtime. Cross off two teams that aren’t used to the noise going unaffected by the crowd. Surely then, those teams that visit Fargo more often were going to do damage. Enter sworn enemy South Dakota State. In the Dakota Marker game, NDSU’s sole trophy they play for at the moment, the Bison did their thing early. The two-score lead at halftime, though, was flattering, as the Jackrabbits left plenty of points on the board. That is when some students committed a cardinal sin. They left early. Then the Jacks came back and shocked those fans that remained with a last second touchdown. Things got back to normal, and NDSU took care of business. The run to a possible sixth straight championship saw the Bison trample the Jacks in the quarterfinals. They were one win away from another trip to Frisco but then came James Madison. The last time they came to Fargo, they were the first victims of the charge that led to five straight national championships. This time, due to a flukey

CHARLI JOERGENSEN | THE SPECTRUM

Budget cuts have the potential to negatively affect our school in many ways. NCAA rule, they had the gall to play their intro in the Fargodome. After the game, their head coach was surprised that they weren’t booed more. It was an eerily quiet place at times as James Madison dominated early. NDSU came back, but it

was not enough. So now, the Bison will have to chase the title. And it starts with the fans. Incoming freshman, you will learn quickly. The student section should be a loud place. In past years, it was believed the crowd at the

Fargodome was good for a one-touchdown advantage. That is not the case now. For students who have been to a game the past couple of years, the energy in the Fargodome pregame is palpable. By the time “Thunderstruck” ends and the lights turn on, the

amount of energy is already felt. Now, we need some reinforcements. So, for you freshman, get your tickets, get in line, get loud. We need your help because we want that national championship back.

From field to gate, plant to plate, agriculture is in our roots! We teach the skills needed to feed the world’s growing population.

New Staff, Same Paper

From the Editor’s Desk

Jack Hastings Editor-in-Chief

Many things change as each year passes. The staff of The Spectrum faces turnaround as we see our beloved seniors depart, making way for new talent to find its way into the

office. With the new staff comes the potential for new stories to be told we otherwise would not have heard. As the people behind the university’s newspaper may change, some things never will. The Spectrum’s mission is toward the truth and always will be. As the newspaper goes into its 121st year, this is still the same. The Spectrum now exists in a post-truth, alternative fact political climate. It is an incredibly interesting time to be at a newspaper. This newspaper’s goal is to

Our staff will tell the news as it is, not how it is desired to be heard. We will not pander, sway toward the mindset of our audience or bend to any threat. find the one truth. Truth is singular and all its versions are mistruths. We will seek what is right and tell it in every story. Our staff will tell the news as it is, not how it is desired to be heard. We will not pander, sway toward the

mindset of our audience or bend to any threat. The Spectrum remains intent on providing the student body and community with relevant news, educating the public on local affairs and providing a comprehensive

voice that encompasses a diverse population. Students of North Dakota State, make your voice heard. We will make voices heard that would not have the platform to do so otherwise. Editors-in-chief before me have strived toward attaining that goal. Their efforts have put me at where I am at today. Through my work during my time as editor-in-chief of this excellent publication, I hope I can further pave the way for those who come after me. I have had the privilege of

working under two brilliant editors, Erica Nitschke and Benjamin Norman, whose influence and knowledge has gotten me to where I am today. My staff and I will continue to keep their legacies alive as I start to build mine. The Spectrum has been a part of my life since the very beginning of my freshman year and it is an honor to be able to serve the newspaper as its new editorin-chief. In the coming year I am looking forward to hearing your voices and telling your stories.

Five Tips for Incoming Freshmen It’s not too early to respect your elders. 1. Studying is a crutch

Grant Gloe Staff Writer

Welcome, Freshmen, to North Dakota State University. This is my last article of the year, so I thought I’d share some wisdom from my freshman year. Just a few tips and tricks to help you make it through.

If you can’t hack it now without trying, you won’t be able to pass later. Just sit back and ignore classes as long as possible. If it’s really important, they’ll give you an extension.

2. Party as much as possible

The freshman fifteen is unavoidable. Embrace it. Live it. Love it.

This is the easy semester; get it out of your system now before it impacts your work. You may be tempted to sit at home and be productive, but that’s a Sunday night issue.

3. The freshman 15 is unavoidable

Embrace it. Live it. Love it. Some people might tell you to practice “good habits” but those people are hippies and geeks. Teach them a lesson by piling it on in the dining center. Remember that ice cream, cake and a couple cookies still qualifies as one desert.

4. Don’t believe

everything you read Trust me; they’ll give just about anyone a spot in The Spectrum these days. Most of it’s fine, but every once in a while you get some jackhole who comes along and writes complete crap. Real shame if you ask me, someone ought to write a letter.

5. A record builds character

You ever hear of the whole “punch the biggest guy in prison on the first day” thing? It’s the same thing. If you want to be known as a real man’s man who does real man’s man things, do something to

Don’t believe everything you read. Trust me, they’ll give just about anyone a spot in The Spectrum these days. make a name for yourself. Steal signs from residence halls, get a minor or punch the biggest guy on the first day. There are no wrong answers as long as you leave people going “wow, that’s Grant! Dude threw a skee ball through a window!” True story, but I was like five so it loses some of the punch. Point is, college is

whatever you make it out to be. And it’s made of a lot of things at the same time. How hard or little you work, how much fun you have and even the people you choose to surround yourself with. It’s choices, and it’s up to you to decide what kind of person you’re gonna be. Don’t worry, you’re gonna have a great time.

Absurd Prices: Online Course Edition Why am I paying extra for one-fourth of a course Cierra Steffensen Contributing Writer

As summer approaches and online courses become a commodity for the students that do not live in Fargo, a question arises. Why are online courses so much more expensive than their in-class alternative? I mean seriously, where does the money go? Please tell me because, obviously, I don’t understand. I mean, I’ll admit that

I’m not that great at economics and I don’t really understand budgets. So maybe I’m just all “deer in the headlights” about this situation. But I don’t understand how a four-week, online, summer course can cost me more than a normal, 16week, in-class course. Online courses do not require a space for a class to be held, they don’t require a professor to be present and the majority of the communication that takes place during these courses

OPINION

We are broke college students just trying to get by, yet here we are dishing out extra money in order to take online summer classes that will help us graduate on time so we don’t have to take out another massive loan. is through email. Which, let’s be honest here, is probably taking place on a comfy couch in the house of said absent professor.

We are broke college students just trying to get by, yet here we are dishing out extra money in order to take online summer classes

that will help us graduate on time so we don’t have to take out another massive loan. “As a nursing student, who already has to take extra schooling, it is really frustrating to me that some of my required are only offered online. Especially since they cost so much,” Maggie Pearson, an NDSU sophomore, said when discussing the topic. Online courses do have their perks. You don’t have to get out of bed, get dressed or even shower if

you don’t want to. But to pay so much extra for a class that takes so much less effort from all parties involved is absurd. So please, someone explain what “course development” and “implementation costs” mean. Because right now I’m just going to continue assuming that you use all of that extra money to buy fancy breakfasts for your administration meetings, instead of believing the bogus explanation I found online.
