NDSUPreps for St.Francis

“Thousands of lives weresuddenly ended by evil, des-picable acts of terror. Thepictures of airplanes flyinginto buildings, fires burning,huge structures collapsing,have filled us with disbelief,terrible sadness and a quiet,unyielding anger,” formerPresident George W. Bushsaid on September 11, 2001,almost ten years ago to theday.

This Sunday marks the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11attacks that took place inNew York, Pennsylvania andWashington, D.C. but af-fected our entire nation.

The horrifying eventsbegan at 8:46 a.m. on Sept.11, 2011 when the first hi-jacked airplane struck theWorld Trade Center’s NorthTower. More than 3,000 peo-ple lost their lives in the at-tacks and more than 2,300

were injured.“None of us will ever for-

get this day,” Bush said. The Historical & Cultural

Society of Clay County ishosting an exhibit at theHjemkomst Center in Moor-head featuring photographsof Ground Zero one monthafter the horrifying terroristattacks took place.

The exhibit titled “After-math: Images from GroundZero” conveys the manyemotions behind the eventsthat took place at GroundZero just a month after theprimary attack. All imagesin the exhibit were providedby New York photographerJoel Meyerowitz.

“Aftermath: Images fromGround Zero” is runningnow through Monday morn-ing, with a special 10-yearanniversary commemora-tion event Sunday, Sept. 11at 2 p.m.

“It will be an interfaithgathering of remembranceand peace,” Tim Jorgensen,event coordinator for theHistorical & Cultural Soci-ety Museum, said.

“As of right now, Hin-duism, Buddhism, Judaism,Islam, Catholicism, Baha’i,Lutheranism and NativeAmericans will all be repre-sented at the commemora-tion event,” Jorgensen said.

Moorhead Mayor Mark

Voxland will be deliveringthe introduction and open-ing remarks, and DavidMyers, Executive Director ofthe Center for InterfaithProjects, will be concludingthe event.

Many things have changedin the 10 years since Sept. 11,2011. While the attacks in-stilled a sense of patriotismin all Americans, it also cre-ated a massive increase ofracial profiling. National Se-

curity has tightened and isnow a part of daily life.Many people who survivedor witnessed the attacks arestill suffering from healthproblems and are beingtreated for Post-TraumaticStress Disorder.

“The attacks of September

11th were intended to breakour spirit. Instead we haveemerged stronger and moreunified. We feel renewed de-votion to the principles ofpolitical, economic and reli-gious freedom, the rule oflaw and respect for humanlife. We are more deter-mined than ever to live ourlives in freedom,” RudolphGiuliani, former mayor ofthe city of New York, said.

The National September11 Memorial will be dedi-cated on Sunday. The memo-rial is located where theWorld Trade Center towersonce stood in New York City.It features twin reflectingpools, each nearly an acre insize, the exact size and loca-tion of the World Trade Cen-ter towers’ footprints.

The square reflectingpools also include the largestman-made waterfalls inNorth America. The namesof all people killed in the ter-rorist attacks at the WTCsite, the field outsideShankville, Penn., the Penta-gon and the WTC bombing

in 1993 are inscribed inbronze panels surroundingeach pool.

The events of Sept. 11,2001 remain the largest lossof life from a foreign attackon American soil and thegreatest single loss of rescuepersonnel in American his-tory.

Attention NDSU students:You are official residents ofthe Fargo-Moorhead com-munity. Doing your part togive back to this growing lo-cality is an imperative partof the college experience.The Bison Service Challengeprovides a way to get in-volved in volunteer servicebenefitting a wide array ofprograms in the F-M area.

The Bison Service Chal-lenge was established in fall

2009. The Memorial Union’sVolunteer Network part-nered with community bet-terment foundations such asDakota Medical, Impact andFirstLink in order to in-crease the amount of volun-teer hours that NDSUstudents complete. MattSkoy, assistant director forservice learning and civicengagement, admitted, “Wecouldn’t do this without thehelp of our partners.”

Four student involvementgroups including ResidenceLife, Greek Life, athleticsand various student organi-zations compete amongsteach other to see who canrack up the most hours.There is also an individualcategory so that single stu-dents can contend independ-ently.

Champions in each divi-sion of the Bison ServiceChallenge receive a $500grant from the Dakota Med-ical Foundation to donate totheir charity of choice and,of course, a coveted trophy.

Both awards are given at aceremony in the spring. Thewinner of the individual sec-tor will be nominated for theSarah Martinsen Award forsuperior service.

Last year alone, 40,123service hours were recorded.The Challenge championsand the charities to whichthey chose to donate theirwinnings for the 2010-2011school term are as follows:Greek Life Kappa AlphaTheta – Hospice of the RedRiver Valley; Weible Resi-dence Hall – The RonaldMcDonald House; Athletics– Football-ShareHouse; Stu-dent Organization – Habitatfor Humanity-United Way;and the Sarah MartinsenAward winner AndrewLynch – Salvation Army.

Erica Eischen, hall direc-tor of Weible (defending res-idence hall champions fortwo years running) encour-ages students to “engage andbecome part of somethingbigger than yourself.” She ishighly animate about volun-

teer activism and stated, “Iwant a third trophy!”

Eischen accurately de-scribes the Bison ServiceChallenge as “A way to unitetogether and see who cangive the most back.”

Skoy said, “Moving for-ward this year, the volunteernetwork is excited, and welook forward to enthusiasmamong students on campusregarding community en-gagement and service.”

He expressed that the chal-lenge relies on student par-ticipation. Skoy reaffirmedhis belief by explaining thatthis program would not evenbe possible “without the ex-citement of students toserve.”

After a long summer, theNDSU library has madesome changes and updatesfor the current school year.Recently, however, the li-brary has experienced anelectronic resources crash.

“Due to a catastrophichardware failure, the librarycatalog will be unavailableuntil further notice,” Re-serves and Evening Supervi-sor Janine Kuntz said in anemail last week. “This meansthat students will not be ableto access electronic reservesduring this time.”

Students could get tempo-rary copies of the materialsthey needed for their assign-ments, but the library wasclosed over Labor Day week-end and electronic resourcescould not be accessed. As ofWednesday afternoon, mostof the resources were backonline.

This crash happened dur-ing a time of transition forthe library, as it updates it-self to meet the demands ofthe quickly developing cam-pus.

Right now the library isworking on updating theirwebsite to make it easier tonavigate and more conven-ient for students. Studentsare encouraged to take abrief survey on the library’swebsite to provide feedbackon what they would like thewebsite to look like in the fu-

ture. The goal is to make thewebsite more appealing, in-formative and easy to use.

As part of making the li-brary website more conven-ient for students, a virtual

tour has been uploaded. It isa combination of photos,videos and audio, giving stu-dents a better way of locat-ing resources and using thevarious services offered bythe library.

Study rooms can now bereserved online. This meansstudents and faculty are ableto reserve rooms ahead oftime from wherever theyare.

The library has also addeda full Spectrum databasefrom 1896 to 1950. The Spec-trum archive has been madepossible by the Student Gov-ernment capital projectgrant. The archive is nowavailable for viewing thoughthe library website.

Smudging ceremonyheld on NDSU grounds

This past Friday students,staff and community mem-bers gathered together towitness a Lakota smudgingceremony in honor of BobPieri, NDSU professor of en-gineering, for his contribu-tions to the university’s ties

to Native Tribal colleges.The event was held at

NDSU’s GrandmotherEarth Gifts of Life Gardenand featured Lakota tribalmember and NDSU Ph.D.student Dereck Stonefish aschief spiritual leader andperformer of the smudgingritual. Believed to summonthe spiritual world, smudg-ing involves asking for theguidance of spirits over anindividual throughout his orher future endeavors.

The smudging ceremony iscommonly celebrated amongthe Native American cultureas a public honoring of anindividual for their actions.Both the burning of sweetgrass and a blessing with

part of an eagle wing wereused in order to conduct theceremony.

Pieri was mainly involvedin efforts to make engineer-ing more available to NativeAmericans. During the 2003academic year, Pieri took asabbatical in which he spenttime on the Turtle MountainReservation trying to betterunderstand the specificneeds of Native Americans.

In 2008, Pieri was ap-pointed by former NDSUPresident Joseph Chapmanto be released from teachingand focus primarily on fur-thering the connection be-tween NDSU and tribalcolleges. He has thus spentthe past three years educat-ing both Native Americansand people here on campusabout the benefits of a close

relationship between NDSUand tribal colleges.

Assistant Vice President ofEquity, Diversity and GlobalOutreach Jaclynn Davis-Wallete commented, “[Dr.Pieri] strengthened the linesbetween tribal colleges andNDSU… He helped NDSUbetter understand tribal col-leges and tribal colleges bet-ter understand NDSU.”

After the ceremony, atten-dees were directed to a loca-tion within the park where acedar tree stands as a sign ofNDSU’s gratitude towardthe work of Pieri. Whenasked about what the cere-mony meant to him, Pierisaid, “This was a very hum-bling experience… It was amixture of Native Americanand Western culture… Acrossing of cultures.”

You're lost, super hungryand you cannot find anyplace to eat at in your vicin-ity, but then you see this vi-brant light from thedistance. Its shiny tint blindsyour eyes, but then you real-ize it’s a restaurant! Shouldyou give it a try, or should gohungry?

James Johnson, a juniormajoring in engineering,says, “Kroll's has the bestshakes in town. There isnothing more refreshingthan grabbing a burger anda shake at this place.”

If you have never drivenby Kroll's, it’s hard to missonce you locate it.

“It is certainly a uniquedining experience. It is shinyand cozy, and in my opinionit has the best ambiance to itin town,” Kroll’s GeneralManager, Rick Jaeger said.“People drive by it, and stopby just to ask me about theplace.”

Jaeger – like the peoplewho drive by it – was also in-trigued by its presence inFargo.

“I used to be a kitchenmanager at Perkins, thenone day I saw this diner andit was a place that I have al-

ways wanted to work at,”Jaeger said.

Sure enough, Jaeger’sdream of working at a fancyold-school diner came true.

He was given the job as

general manager in 2001. “Money influenced me to

take this job because after9/11 happened, the economywas rough, but it was alsomy dream to run a place like

this,” Jaeger said.Jaeger says people often

wonder if Kroll's diner hasalways had the older dinerappeal to it.

“This diner is nothing in

comparison to the originalKroll's in Bismarck; how-ever, the Kroll's here inFargo is a modular stylediner,” Jaeger said. “It wasshipped here from Florida,and it has never changedsince.”

If you are still on the fenceabout making a trip to dineout at Kroll's, this could helpchange your mind.

“We get killed by collegekids ... on a nightly basis be-cause we are open 24 hoursa day. I still enjoy it thoughbecause business is alwaysbooming around here,” hesaid.

24 hours a day? Isn'tPerkins and Denny’s alsoopen that late? Why would itbe better to stop at Kroll's?

“Our shakes and burgersare our money makers. Youcan get a cheap meal hereand enjoy the spectacularscenery Krolls has to offer,”Jaeger enthusiastically said.“Plus there are only fiveKroll's located across thestate, so it is sort of a coolthing to be able to say thatyou have been here.”

This is something thatPerkins and Denny’s cannotoffer: a chance to make a pitstop to a rare diner.

“We are going to continuesticking to what works bestfor us: serving up our awe-some shakes and fresh burg-ers. However, we arecurrently looking for newKroll's ladies,” Jaeger said.

If you would like to applyto be in the Kroll's ladiescommercials, please visitnextkrollslady.com to apply.

Located off 45th StreetSouth in Fargo, Kroll's is al-ways ready to serve up fan-tastic food.

The lights dimmed as MattNathanson made his en-trance at the Fargo Theatre.He walked out to a fullcrowd as Destiny’s Child“Bootylicious” started play-ing on the loud speakers, “Idon’t think you can handlethis!”

Nathanson, a songwriterand musician out of SanFrancisco, took a break fromtouring with Maroon 5 andTrain to bring his talent toFargo for the first time ever.Fargo was one of the veryfirst stops on the All NightNoise Tour, Nathanson’scurrent headlining tour.

He started the show byplaying “Mercy” from hislatest album, “ModernLove.” It was the perfectsong to start with as fansrushed to the stage to becloser to the band. To every-one’s surprise, Nathansonthen broke out in a cover ofFlorence and the Machine’s“Dog Days Are Over” lead-ing into his own “Pretty the

World” from his 2003album, “Beneath These Fire-works.” It was a flawlesstransition.

After the more upbeatsound “Modern Love,”Nathanson compared thenext song to giving the mid-dle finger. “Queen of K(nots)is for everyone who has beenin a relationship with adownright evil person,” heexplained. With punchy gui-tar chords and a hard rockedge, Nathanson couldn’thave been more accuratewith his description. It was afun song, especially when theband broke into a cover of‘80s favorite “Tainted Love”in the middle of the song.

From there, Nathansonsang a lot of songs from hisnew album released in June2011 and even threw in acouple of songs from his pre-vious successful albums “Be-neath These Fireworks” and“Some Mad Hope.” Most ofthe songs played next werecalmer and they highlightedthe lyrics and instrumentals.However, the band stillswitched things up andplayed covers of more ‘80sclassics such as “Jesse’sGirl” and “Heat of the Mo-ment,” as well as Simon andGarfunkel and U2 originals.

After a brief intermission,Nathanson and his band gotthe fans involved singingand clapping along to“Faster” before ending with“Come on Get Higher,” hisdouble-platinum selling hitfrom album “Some MadHope.” It was the perfectending to a fantastic experi-

ence; he sounds just as tal-ented -- and maybe better --live as he does on his albumsand on the radio.

Nathanson spent a goodamount of time talkingabout his new experiences inFargo and his bike ridearound downtown and Is-land Park. It made the con-cert a very unique andrelatable experience. Instead

of toting a large ego, he wasvery down-to-earth and ex-cited about everything. Hispersonality was just as cooland inviting as his music.

Nathanson promised hewould be back to Fargo be-cause he loves it so much. Asa new and big fan of his, Ihope he does come back, andsoon!

I had the opportunity totalk to Matt Nathanson be-fore his concert and ask hima few questions:

Are you excited to come toFargo?

Matt: I’m super psyched.I’ve never played in Fargo. Ifeel like I’m winning here. Ifeel like it’s a medal ofhonor. We don’t have verymany adventures left, wetour so much. I’m superlooking forward to it.

What’s your favorite thingabout touring?

Matt: It’s to be able tohave that human connectionevery night. It’s all very per-sonal. The songs don’t reallycome to life until they arebouncing off people anduntil you’re feeling that en-ergy and people are takingthe songs as their own. Thatdoesn’t happen until youplay live. The importantpiece of making a record istaking the record out andgiving it to people.

What is your favorite songto perform live?

Matt: Lately I’ve been lov-ing “Queen of (K)nots.” It’sbouncy; it just has a goodfeel.

What kind of experiencecan concert-goers expectfrom your show?

Matt: It will change theirlives forever. If you’re un-happy you’ll be happy. It’llalter your DNA. Yourbiggest dreams will cometrue. For me, it’s like the

show is it; it’s the most im-portant part. It’s less ofeveryone watching me, andmore of an experience. Wetry to put on a dynamicshow where everybody is en-gaged and there is good en-ergy. It’s about connection.It’s about community. It’snice we get to rock out andhang, sometimes we bustinto a White Snake cover,sometimes we bust into aJustin Bieber cover. Younever know what is going tohappen. It’s fun!

Where do find the inspira-tion to write as much musicas you do?

Matt: I find it everywhere.It’s a terrible answer but it’strue. I just love music. I’m anerd for it. Everything I dofunnels into these songs.Everything I do funnels intothe experience that makesthese songs.

Do you have any advice foraspiring singers and song-writers?

Matt: You’ve got to besmart enough to navigateand too stupid to stop.You’ve got to get smartenough to know what’s rightand what’s wrong and wherethe best way to move is andyou have to be real dumb tokeep moving because somany people tell you and somany signs tell you, “Ohyou’re not as good as thisperson.” It’s not about pac-ing yourself against otherpeople. It’s about your evo-lution. You have to be com-mitted to it.

I just love music.I’m a nerd for it.Everything I do fun-nels into thesesongs. -- MattNathanson,singer/songwriter.

Matt Nathanson brings modernlove to the Fargo Theatre


Matt Nathanson performed a mix of his own music along-side ‘80s covers, pleasing the Fargo Theatre’s crowd.


Earlier this year at theElectronic EntertainmentExpo (E3), Microsoft an-nounced that developmenthad begun on “Halo 4,” thenext entry in the Halo Uni-verse and the first direct se-quel to the Master Chiefsaga since “Halo 3.”

Ironically, this came assomething of a surprise tothose in the industry consid-ering developer Bungie, cre-ator of the series, had leftMicrosoft and consequentlythe Halo franchise in orderto pursue new intellectualproperties. Taking up theirmantle is 343 Industries,Microsoft’s own home-builtdesign team created solelyfor the thankless job of cre-ating new content in theHalo franchise.

Faith in the company wasshaken earlier this weekwith the departure of 343Industries Creative DirectorRyan Payton. Payton was in

charge of the developmentteam creating the next Halotrilogy, known as the “Re-claimer Trilogy.”

Speaking with majorgaming blog Kotaku, Pay-ton said, “I had a great runat Microsoft. I don't regretone day of it, but after a fewyears, there came a pointwhere I wasn't creatively ex-cited about the project any-more.”

Despite his departurefrom the project, Paytonwants to make absolutelysure that no one believes hehas lost faith in the project.Instead he claims, “TheHalo I wanted to build wasfundamentally different andI don't think I had builtenough credibility to seesuch a crazy endeavorthrough.”

Payton’s apprehensionwith the size of future Haloinstallments is probably notunfounded. The franchise iscertainly no longer the onlyblockbuster shooter fran-chise on the market, nor

even the biggest. Still, thelast installment in the series,“Halo: Reach” remains oneof the highest played gameson Xbox Live a year after itslaunch. This is of course dueto the huge popularity of thefranchise, which almost sin-gle-handedly legitimizedfirst-person shooters onconsoles. It’s quite easy tounderstand that someone insuch a position of authoritymight get cold feet when ap-proaching such a scrutiniz-ing task.

What remains to be seen,however, is what sort of ef-fect his departure will haveon the general public’s opin-ion of the project. Fanboysare already up in armsabout the departure of thetrilogy from its parent de-veloper, and this announce-ment will no doubt add fuelto the flame of this vocal mi-nority. Only time will tell if343 Industries can live up tothe E3 hype.

TruthHonest

The

Dear Bison Pack,I moved in with a long-time friend just last month.It was great at first because we finally had thechance to live with each other and hang out morethan we have in the past. Although he has been myfriend since grade school, I’m starting to think thatbeing roommates was a big mistake. When I get homefrom work the kitchen is always a mess, his clothesare always on the floor and he never puts the thingshe uses away. And the worst part: When I want tospend time with my girlfriend he always wants to tagalong or tries to be involved in our plans. I know hejust wants to hang, but I want to spend alone timewith my girl and I don’t want to spend every livingminute of my time with the guy that I already livewith! It’s just frustrating that I have to tell a 22-year-old man to pick up after himself all the time andit’s gone so far that I've picked up after him myselfbecause I hate a dirty apartment. I don’t know if Ishould tell him how I really feel because I’m afraidhe will get hurt, after all he is my friend. Got any ad-vice?Sincerely,Frustrated Roommate

Dear Frustrated Roommate,

First, don’t ever pick up after him again. Last time I checked, being on yourown means picking up after yourself. You are not his mom and you are definitelynot his maid. If the guy has cleanliness issues, don’t hold back. Tell him. He mightnot even know it bothers you when the apartment is a mess. Communicate yourfrustration by telling him that it’s not fair for you to always be picking up afterhim. I’m sure that as the adult he is, he will understand. You could even try mak-ing a schedule that switches off kitchen duty every other day, so that the kitchenis always clean. Second, this third wheel issue is easily solvable. Next time youand your girlfriend want to catch a movie or go on a romantic date, don’t plan itin front of him. Text each other, agree what you will be doing that night and gowithout him. I know it sounds kind of sneaky, but he will realize it’s your time tobe alone with your girlfriend. And even though you live with him, try planningone day out of the week to hang out with the poor guy. Not only will this “bro-mance” day let him know you have a designated time just for him, but it will alsogive you more time with your girlfriend.-Tough Bison

Even though moving in with your long-time friend may seem like a foolproofidea at first, you two may look like fools in the end. In my experience, I have hadto deal with almost the exact same issues as you. My first suggestion: talk tohim about his horrible housekeeping habits. If nothing changes, the next courseof action would be to do the dishes. When I say this, I mean do only your dishes.By leaving his dishes piled up in the sink it will send the message that you'refinished being his maid. If that doesn't work, just place his dirty dishes in hisbed. He'll eventually get the hint. Second suggestion: Tell him how excited youare about spending quality one-on-one time with your girlfriend. He'll then moreor less feel awkward about being the third wheel. The Bottom line is that youneed to tell him exactly what is bothering you, otherwise it will be a never-endingcycle.-Insightful Bison

From what I can tell, there is a misunderstanding on the rules of engagementwithin your apartment. You may need to elaborate the potential you see for yourshared living space and sell tidiness and courtesy to him that way. For the timebeing though, you will just have to trooper through it. If he wants to hang out,hang out with him! You’re his bro, that’s why he’s living with you. If you want tobe with you’re girlfriend, be with your girlfriend, but maybe at her place! Theman-cave is the means by which we remain free, and as your brother in arms, Imust impress upon you that this dwelling is sacred! There are a few things moreannoying than when your wingman won’t accept a challenge to Mario Kart be-cause he’s busy dabbling in chivalry; it happened to me last night, and I was lessthen pleased. Heed my advice; if not for you, then for your fellow man.-Bison 1997

Just remember that you

have options and that some-

one will be there to help and

support you through this if

you let them.

If you need additional re-

sources visit: http://www.

ndsu.edu/fileadmin/stu-

dentlife/PDF_Files/Codeof-

StudentBehavior.pdf so that

you know what happened is

something to be taken seri-

ously and not ignored.

Another link that may be

helpful is the student policy

for sexual assault, which can

be found at http://www.

ndsu.edu/policy/603.htm.

Remember to be safe and if

anything makes you feel un-

comfortable, get out of the

situation, get to a safe place

and ask for help.

Call 911The first thing to do is to call 911 if you are still in danger. Most victims don’t report rape or sexual assault cases because theydon’t want to acknowledge the fact that it has happened to them. Usually, however, the offender is not a first-time assailant. Telling the police could help them stop the aggressor from commiting fu-ture attacks.

Look for safetyThe next step is to get to a safe place and call a trusted friend. Being alone may seem like the route to go if you feel ashamed, or if youjust don’t want to acknowledge it happened, but instead call a trustedfriend and let them help and support you.

Get helpCall the 24-hour hotline for the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center at 701-293-7273. Discuss your options. You do have the power to decide for yourself, but you don’t have to do italone. Decide if you want to report it to the police and if you want to seek med-ical help. Getting medical attention is always a good option because you may needto see if you have been drugged or have any other injuries. Also, having a sexual assault nurse give you an examination will help be-cause they collect evidence in case you do want to file a report. If you don’t want to file the report right away, you don’t have to. The evidence can always be collected before and you can file the reportlater.If you do decide to see a nurse examiner, try not to urinate, take ashower or change clothes. Getting all the evidence from anywhere – including yourself – will be ahuge help in a police investigation.Whether it be a supportive friend or family member, or even professionalhelp, talk to someone.Remember you aren’t alone.

File a reportConsider making a report to the NDSU vice president for student affairs. There is an on-campus judicial process for disciplinary action if the as-sailant is a student. You can receive assistance if the person who assaulted you is in yourclasses or lives in your residence hallYou can also receive academic help.

How To: Get help if you havebeen sexually assaulted

Alysia LarsonContributing WriterThis is not an easy subject

to talk about, but it is neces-sary.

NDSU’s sexual assault re-sources suggest that aboutone in four college womenwill be sexually assaulted

and 80 to 90 percent of theseassaults will be by someonethe victim knows.

These are scary facts, butknowing them will help in-crease awareness of yoursurroundings. If it ever does

happen to you, these aresome steps to help you dealwith the aftermath.

NDSU sexual assault re-sources urge you to do thefollowing if you became avictim.

The Art Cinema Serieskicks off at the Fargo The-atre Monday night with ashowing of “The ShortFilms of the Quay Broth-ers.” Kristi Groberg, assis-tant professor of art historyhas used the series, put onby NDSU Division of FineArts, as a means of learningoutside of the classroom.

“I started it in the 2005-2006 academic year purelyas an educational tool,” sheexplained in an interview.“Our goal as a departmentis to expose our students toart cinema, to get them intoa real movie theatre to seeparticularly beautiful, chal-lenging or bizarre films onthe big screen,” she contin-ued.

The films are viewable bythe public, and Grobergpointed out that the series

has picked up a followingwithin the community sinceit began. With the help ofcolleagues, students and cin-ema buffs alike, Groberg se-lects true art cinema filmsthat leave the moviegoerspondering art and its placein both society and educa-tion.

“We try to select cuttingedge films by unusual orcult film-makers, classics,documentaries that areoften not available in theStates, or films that don’tmake it into regular movietheatres because they areobscure or attract a smallaudience,” she said.

All movies throughout theyear show at 7 p.m., andtickets can be bought for $5with a student ID. More in-formation and movie trail-ers can be found at theDivision of Fine Arts web-site.

Films being shown thisyear:

Sept. 12“The Short Films of the

Quay Brothers”

Oct. 10“Dracula: Pages from a

Virgin’s Diary” and“The Eye Like A Great

Balloon”

Nov. 14“Rembrandt's J’Accuse”

Dec. 5“Wings of Desire”

Feb. 6“Van Gogh: Brush with

Genius”

April 2“Black OrpheusMonday”

April 30“Control”

The September issue isthe fashion magazines’ ulti-mate volume of the year.Most have over 500 pages inthem, and some are bigenough to be your newschool textbook. But theseannual large issues have areason for including somuch: They show off all offall’s latest trends from run-way collections that were re-vealed last spring.Reviewing hundreds ofpages of fashion magazines

and blogs have producedwhat trends the stylish col-lege student will be wearingthis fall.

Women: Every fall you hear or see

the same thing: neutrals,blacks, warm colors. Thisseason is the total opposite.Many designers and retail-ers are going for more jew-eled-tone brights to chargeup your autumn fashion.From bright green pea coatsto fuchsia blouses, these col-ors will insert some pizzazzinto the otherwise boringneutrals of your closet.

Many retrograde andblock patterns were seen onthe runway this fall. Somepieces included ‘70s eccen-tric shapes; some designers(like Marc Jacobs) incorpo-rated full-outfits of polkadots. Others put in the sig-nature cheetah-print thatseems to be a hit every otherseason. All looks are ideal,but it’s difficult to wear afull outfit of them. Try apolka dot blouse (Forever21 has many affordabletops), or add your mix ofanimal print with acces-sories like belts, shoes orbracelets to show off your

wild side.Although it’s hard to say

goodbye to summer clothes,you shouldn’t put dressesaway quite yet. You can stillwear those floral prints andbright colors without look-ing too summery by addingdark accessories. A blackbelt around a floral dresswith leather boots could bean option, or even adding ajacket to complete your en-semble. Chic lace dressesare popular to invest insince they are geared to-ward colder weather andcan be worn casually andformally.

Men: Focus on bright colors

this fall, just as much aswomen. Unlike jewel tones,you should look for royalcolors of blue, green and redto be worn as sweaters –maybe even dare to wearcolored pants as well!

Striped patterns will beforever popular, but this fallbrings a focus on horizontalstripes. Whether it is longsleeve or short, under ablazer or outerwear, thislook will get many heads toturn.

Preppy varsity-inspired

jackets and cardigans arepopping up everywhere thismonth, and you don’t needto play a sport to wearsomething this catchy. Al-ready comfortable and ca-sual, throwing something onover any plain T-shirt willlook stylish. Check out For-ever 21 Men or Gap formany style choices.

Whatever you decide towear, it should show yourpersonality and style wher-ever you go.

Now that we are a fewweeks in to the school year,a lot of us are realizing howstressful college can be.With classes, homework,jobs and trying to have a so-cial life, you can go prettybonkers trying to balanceall of these things.

Studies done by Harvardand Princeton have shownthat college students tend tosleep up to two hours lessper night during the schoolyear. These studies alsoshow that the amount oftime students devote to

themselves practically dis-appears.

I will be the first to admitthat I fall into this category,but fret not; you do not haveto follow my lead. Here area few artsy tips to help yourelax and have some me-time:

Read a book: Not only willyou be expanding your vo-cabulary and taking yourmind off things, but simpleacts such as reading havebeen known to help lowerblood pressure and increaseREM (Dreaming Cycles)during sleep.

Draw or sketch: Whileyou may not be the next Pi-

casso, drawing or sketchingis a great way to expand thecreative area of your brain,which sometimes does notget worked during theschool week. Drawing alsohelps to increase quickmotor function and cogni-tive brain function.

Walk in the park: Gettingoutside for some exercisehelps to increase your bloodflow and allows for yourbody to recuperate from thelong week of sitting in desks.

If none of these things in-terest you, find somethingthat you enjoy doing and setup some time for yourself.The school year has juststarted, and a little breakevery now and then can helpkeep you from stressing outin the months to come.

Eighty-eight years ago, 3Dtechnology was created as atrivial way to entertain anaudience. The advancementof 3D technology has beenslow, but where is this tech-nology going and why doviewers still have to wearthose pesky glasses to enjoyit?

3D display has beenaround for a long time andthe basic principle has notchanged. The basis of all 3Dtechnology revolves aroundhow eyes perceive distance;the eyes rotate toward eachother as the image is closeand away when the imagegets further away. Takingadvantage of this, 3D can beapplied to any digital screen– that is, with the awkwardglasses.

The glasses play a criticalrole in making sure that theimage is split properly sothat each eye sees the sameimage at different angles.Ways to do this vary, withthe most advanced being thepolarized glasses (the onesthat look like sunglasses)and the oldest being the redand blue film glasses. Theseglasses are not necessary ifthere is a way for each eye tosee a different image.

3D TV does have the po-tential to be glasses-free. In

fact, such a TV was built inJapan, but it was nevermass produced for a criticaleconomic reason: Not manycompanies are willing toproduce a lot of 3D mate-rial, let alone 3D materialspecifically for the newglasses-free technology.

3D material varies de-pending on different displaytypes. Polarized glasses re-quire an image to be dupli-cated on a polarized screen,which lets each eye receive adifferent image. This createsa blurry, “outlined” imagethat is difficult to see with-out the spectacles. Anyglasses-free display requiresthe image to be split on thescreen itself (there are actu-ally two images). There is noeasy way to hash outglasses-free material simplybecause polarized glassesare already being used.

Realistically, there aremany ways to display 3D. Asimple testament of this is3D YouTube material.YouTube provides four waysto produce the 3D effect onvideos: One method re-quires some form of coloredglasses while the other threemethods are glasses-free.

The only other glasses-free 3D technology lies inthe hands of Nintendo withthe Nintendo 3DS. Therehave been attempts at 3Dcell phones but to little pur-

pose. People who use cellphones generally will onlydo so for a few seconds at atime, and thus the 3D tech-nology would be more of ahindrance than an accept-able perk.

Perhaps there is a lessonto be taught from the ideasof the 3D cell phone. 3Dtechnology, while very en-tertaining, might just be tooinconvenient to apply toevery digital appliance.There is also a chance ofside effects with the use of3D displays such as motionsickness and sore eyes, soputting the technology onphones might make it unus-able for some.

From an entertainmentstandpoint, 3D displays formovies and TV shows arecomparable to the advent ofthe color TV way back whenall shows and movies werein black and white. Eyes seein color, so naturally thenext step for colorless televi-sion was to add color. In thesame manner, making 3Dentertainment would be thenext step for all digitalmedia.

So where does 3D technol-ogy actually stand? For nowit is just an optional featureon a few, expensive televi-sion sets. There is no doubtthough that as technologyadvances, 3D will be in-cluded in every TV set.

Now that the Black EyedPeas have left the MagicCity, let's not forget aboutthe disaster that was left be-hind.

Sure, Josh Duhamel andthe Peas raised an estimated$1 million from their concertthat will go directly to theflood relief efforts, but hope-fully this won’t be where thehelp stops for this commu-nity.

Many students at NDSUare from Minot and havebeen affected by the flood.Perhaps you had the heart-wrenching task of sortingthrough debris from yourhome this past Labor Dayweekend.

Anne Carlson, a seniormajoring in family and con-sumer science education,grew up in Minot and wasfortunate enough to not loseher house to the flood.

“My parents’ house wasbehind the secondary dikesin the valley, so they only gota little water in the base-ment,” Carlson said. “Wewere really blessed.”

Even though I grew up inthe Red River Valley, I amalso affected by the cata-strophic flooding the SourisRiver has caused to theMinot community.

Both my parents wereborn and raised in Minot,and both attended Minotpublic schools. They eventu-ally got married and startedtheir family there, but if itweren't for my dad getting ajob in Fargo in the earlyeighties, they probablywould have been guttingtheir house alongside thethousands of other families

in Minot.The majority of my ex-

tended family lives in Minot,some of which have losteverything. Those who havelost their homes include mysix aunts and uncles, twelvecousins and my widowedgrandma.

My grandma is an avidquilter, but unfortunately allof her sewing machines wereruined in the flood. Thisflood has really taken a tollon her spirit. Thankfully shejust recently moved into her12- by 40-foot FEMA trailerthat includes two bedrooms(with two bunk beds), a liv-ing room and a kitchen.

Now that Minot is on theslow road to recovery, thereis worry that most of its res-idents will relocate in orderto start over. “I’ve heard ofa lot of people moving away,like single parents whocouldn’t afford to staythere,” Carlson said.

According to MinotDai-lyNews.com, “The ‘For Sale’signs go up and the residentsmove on. Some are leavingthe city entirely.”

In order for Minot to comeclose to the condition it wasin prior to the flood, thereneeds to be more philan-thropic efforts like whatDuhamel and the BlackEyed Peas have done forMinot. Perhaps even thecommander in chief shouldtake some time out of hisschedule to witness how badit actually has become upthere; he certainly didn’thesitate to visit the tornadoravished communities downsouth. My grandpa’s reason-ing for Obama’s absence isthat there aren’t enoughvotes in our state to reallyalter his re-election. Maybeold grandpa is on to some-thing?

If there isn’t a constantstream of assistance reach-ing the community of Minot,it will become no more thanone of the many ghost townsalready scattering our state.

Minot:lest we forget

If there isn’t a con-stant stream of as-sistance reachingthe community ofMinot, it will be-come no more thanone of the many theghost towns al-ready scatteringour state.

“

Last week a report cameout of the Institute for PolicyStudies which states that 25of the top 100 highest paidCEOs made more moneylast year than their companypaid in federal taxes. Couplethe results of the report withthe condition of our coun-try,and the seemingly impos-sible budget crisis, andyou’ve got a hot-button issuejust waiting for people tostart screaming about.

The study is entitled “TheMassive CEO Rewards forTax Dodging,” and it’s caus-ing quite a stir. However, theInstitute for Policy Studiesisn’t exactly the most unbi-ased organization ever, andthe results of their study area bit flawed, at best. But thatisn’t to say they don’t have apoint, because they do;they’re just trying to makethe wrong one.

Sure, we could get all up inarms over the fact that manyCEOs make more than theircompany pays in taxes, butit’s not like the companiesare doing anything illegal(usually) by not paying verymuch in taxes. The compa-

nies are following the lawand using tax breaks andoffshore tax havens and allsorts of convoluted ways toavoid paying taxes, and it’sall legal – it’s written rightthere in our laws that theycan do that.

Personally, I would have abit of trouble characterizingobeying the law as “taxdodging,” but apparentlyIPS didn’t.

Complaining that corpo-rations and companies don’t

pay enough in taxes is likecomplaining about the guyyou think is abusing the wel-fare system down the street.Both entities use the govern-ment’s laws to their advan-tage, and yet we get angry

with the people, not the gov-ernment itself.

I don’t really understandwhy we point fingers at thepeople who are just obeyingthe law, since we the peopleare the ones who continue toallow their behavior evenwhen we think it sucks oursystem dry.

You see, it’s not those peo-ple who are using the systemto their advantage that aresucking it dry, it’s the peoplelike us who refuse to changethe system. We love to com-plain that the welfaremother just sits at home andpops out babies or that eBaydidn’t pay any federal taxeslast year, but we refuse to ac-tually change anything.

We hate the player insteadof the game.

The point the IPS studyshould be making is that oursystem is flawed and it needsto change. this single pointcan apply to a lot of govern-ment programs at the mo-ment. Medicare is payingout something like threetimes the amount of moneythat gets paid into it. Thatkind of spending won’t beable to last much longer, buttrying to change anythingabout Medicare is likepulling teeth without any

Novocain.With the country going

further and further intodebt, we need to make somechanges, but we don’t haveto start slashing things. Wejust need to change the sys-tem a little bit. We can closethe tax loopholes that com-panies use to pay fewertaxes. We can take a look atour laws and the way peopleuse and abuse them and fig-ure out how to rewrite themso that only the people thelaws are meant to help arehelped.

If we really have a prob-lem with companies payingnext to nothing in taxes orpeople who sit at home allday and live off welfare, it’sup to us as a society tochange our rules.

The best part of living inthis country is that if we re-ally don’t like the way thegame is being played, we canchange its rules. We need tostop hating and blaming theplayers and start changingthe game.

Sarcasm can be funny.Sarcasm can relate irrita-tion. Sarcasm can also hurtfeelings and result in divi-sion.

This particular relationalform is extremely pervasivein our society, accepted inseveral of the current gener-ations. For most of us, sar-casm has taken the form of a207th bone; a seemingly fun-damental part of who weare, even slipping out unin-tentionally.

The usage of sarcasm

ranges from simple remarkssuch as, “great, my car does-n’t start,” to more viciouscomments such as saying“wow, great job,” to some-one who is obviously strug-gling. Sarcasm’s simplenature lends itself to beingwidely accepted althoughmost people don’t take acritical look at its conse-quences.

The word sarcasm comesfrom a Greek word meaning“to rend” (specifically flesh),and its English definition in-cludes words like “sharp”and “cutting.” Most of usdon’t mean to rend or cutour friends in any sense.

However, even the simplestforms of sarcasm can leaveothers negatively affected.As listeners, most of us haveadapted to compensate forthese sorts of remarks. Wehave either learned to simplybrush off comments like thisor simply stay away frompeople that embrace them.

One of the major problemssarcasm presents is a generalinefficiency in communica-tion. First of all, it doesn’t atall semantically expresswhat you are trying to con-vey. In fact, by definition,sarcasm consists of sayingexactly the opposite of whatyou are trying to propose.

Second, it directly attacksthe person, place or thing inquestion. In most cases,communication with othersdoesn’t thrive on degradingthe other. Why communicatewith someone if they aresimply degrading me orsomeone else?

Third, sarcasm is incredi-bly ambiguous. It gives thelistener no concrete informa-tion other than the fact thatthe speaker is obviously ei-ther irritated or trying tocrack a joke. It is up to thelistener to figure out whatthe speaker is talking aboutif they are in fact intendingto insult you and what it isthey are specifically refer-ring to.

This is an awful lot ofwork to do simply in tolera-tion of someone else’s con-duct. If we applied this toother areas of interactions,we see opposite correlations.If you call me an idiot or callme lazy I am not likely tolaugh it off and put in theextra effort to deal with it in-ternally.

Sarcasm’s ambiguous na-ture is what slips it into thearena of acceptable conduct.Boiled down sarcasm lookssomething like this: “I don’t

really want to be a jerk andcall you out, but I will saythe opposite of what I meanin a witty tone so that I canmake fun of you and still befriends.”

So what ought we do inplace of this popularly fa-vored style of interaction? Ipropose good old fashionwit. Take some time and for-mulate an intellectual jestthat provides some actualsensible information for thepurpose of humoring others.Let us all take a little pridein our efforts; after all wit isfunnier anyways. Howeveryou decide on interactingwith others, think before youspeak, for you may uninten-tionally “rend” someone thewrong way.

Have you ever found your-self mindlessly clickingaround on Facebook ateleven o’clock at night whenyou have an unwritten paperdue early the very next day?Have you ever begun to getready for class on a Mondaymorning only to realize thatputting off doing your laun-dry for the entire weekendhas left you without a singleclean pair of socks or a pre-sentable pair of jeans?

If these or any similar oc-currences have befallen you,then you could be a victim ofchronic put-it-off-until-the-last-minute syndrome, alsoknown as procrastination. Inall seriousness though, thehuman tendency to procras-tinate can affect us in manyways, both large and small.

Procrastination is oftenmanifested in the delaying ofthe performance of anygiven task or obligation,maybe an undesired one,such as taking out thegarbage or cleaning thebathroom.

People form a habit ofstalling in this way to vary-ing degrees. Some put off thelittle things in which a delaymerely causes a passing mo-ment of last-minute desper-ation. Others develop apattern of procrastination toa point where they find ithard to accomplish anythingmeaningful in a timely man-ner. In the latter case, pro-crastination turns into aserious issue. It becomes thecause of a critical lack ofself-discipline or motivation.

It often begins in smallmatters that cause some lit-tle amount of consternationbut not enough to cause us tochange to a more disciplinedapproach to everyday activ-ities.

Like other habits, it startsto compound as we put offincreasingly more importanttasks. We may find ourselvesmissing critical deadlines inschool, work or at home.This can erode self-confi-dence, further impairing ourability to accomplish or evenestablish goals. Like a para-site, procrastination eatsaway at the motivation to actuntil the work just piles up

into a seemingly insur-mountable obstacle. The un-finished tasks weigh downupon our minds, causing acontinuously high level ofstress that produces nearlyconstant mental fatigue.

Speaking from personalexperience, I know how thisis. Having observed thishabit in myself and in oth-ers, it’s easy for me to seewhat a debilitating ailmenthabitual procrastination canbe.

Yet, like many habits, it isquite possible to break.

Bad habits are an erosionof self-discipline, the goodhabit by which we controland order our actions. Forthose of us who find it hardnot to procrastinate, I thinkwe should begin the solutionwhere the problem began –in the little things.

The practice of gettingsomething done, startingwith the small jobs andgradually stepping it up tothe bigger ones, will helpbuild self-discipline and con-fidence. This increases ourability to tackle the tasksthat hamper us. Maybeyou’ll finish reading this ar-ticle and think, “Hey, he’sright! I’ll try working on thelittle things tomorrow!”

How about giving it a shotright now?

Have you ever said some-thing so offensive that youwanted to bite your tongueoff, throw it on the groundand stomp on it until youcould take back what yousaid? I know I have.Whether it is by accident ornot, once you say somethingthat hurts someone, you cannever take it back.

Across campus I haveheard people say many of-fensive things to each other.As soon as a person sees thatthey have gone too far, theyinstantly try to save face bysaying things like, “It wasjust a joke,” or “You know Ididn’t mean it like that.”

But the simple fact is thatno matter how much you tryto remedy the situation, yourwords can never be unsaid.Those hurtful words are re-membered, possibly for a

lifetime. Even innocent things that

you might not think are of-fensive can seem to be by thepeople around you. An ex-pression I have heard is,“Oh my god, are you re-tarded?” That can be ex-tremely hurtful to the peoplearound you.

These expressions associ-ate you with a bad de-meanor. They make it soundlike being handicapped is abad thing, when in reality itis just a part of who that per-son is.

Another thing people for-get is that their words domake an impact. You canmake or break someone’sentire day with just one sim-ple sentence. You do not getto laugh at someone and for-get that it ever happened be-cause they probably will not.

You play a part in makingsomeone who they are. Theywill remember that youcalled them fat and destruc-tive behaviors may follow.Anorexia, low self-esteem oreven depression can resultfrom your degrading wordstoward others. Even if youdo not mean something in anegative way, it does notmean it is not being receivedin a negative way.

If you are angry or youwant to say something rude,bite your tongue! I am nottelling you not to stand upfor yourself, but do not let

your temper get the best ofyou. Sometimes not sayingsomething snippy is takingthe higher road.

Keeping it to yourself canhelp you learn self-controlwhile sparing someone else’sfeelings. Remember thatchildhood phrase: If youdon’t have anything nice tosay, don’t say anything at all.We were not taught that forkicks and giggles.

Fortunately there is aneasy solution to avoid all ofthis. You have to know whenit is the time and place totalk or joke about certainthings and when a specificmoment is not.

Think before you speak oryou may end up hurting afriend’s feelings with care-less words. There are somany things words enable usto say. Do not let yourself belimited by thoughtless ones.

“I am really envious oftheir student participation.We lack some of that at ourplace.”

Those were the words ofLafayette head coach FrankTavani Saturday after a 42-6 Bison victory that sets thestage this weekend for a re-peat performance.

The Bison welcome Penn-

sylvania’s St. Francis Uni-versity to the Fargodomethis weekend for their sec-ond straight home game fol-lowing the successful openerthat saw an improved offen-sive attack.

St. Francis, known as theRed Flash, is a member ofthe Northeast Conference in

the Football ChampionshipSubdivision, a conferencethat includes former Bisonfoes Robert Morris, CentralConnecticut State and Wag-ner. The Red Flash claimeda 1-10 record last season.

“We're really pleased withmany of the things we wereable to accomplish [versusLafayette]. We were able tothrow the ball deep,” Bisonhead coach Craig Bohl said.Bohl is “really pleased withthe energy on defense,” andis “looking forward to a biggame this week against St.Francis.”

The improvement in thepassing game certainlybodes well for NDSU'schances this Saturday, asthe deep ball was a boon forthe Bison offense. Sopho-more quarterback BrockJensen connected with sen-ior receiver Warren Hol-loway for two touchdownson passes of 67 and 57yards, an option the Bisonhaven't utilized to the ut-most in recent seasons.

Zach Vraa, the redshirtfreshman receiver who washeralded as a game-changerfor this Bison team, wastaken out of Saturday'sgame with a broken collar-bone and will likely be out

until at least November.“We'll start Ryan Smith,”

Bohl said about filling thegap with Vraa out with theinjury. “[Freshman] TrevorGebhart will play an awfullot.”

The running game got offto something of a slow startwith the two-headed attackof DJ McNorton and SamOjuri. The pair began torun outside the tackles inthe second half and com-bined for 155 yards andthree touchdowns on thenight, and will certainly beutilized in the contest versusthe Red Flash.

Perhaps the most glaringadvantage in favor of theBison over St. Francis liesoff the field. Last season, theRed Flash averaged just1,721 in attendance perhome football game in aconference that isn't notori-ous for high attendances.Even with games in pastseasons against NorthernIowa and Cal-Poly, St.Francis will likely be unpre-pared for the kind of hostileatmosphere NDSU fans arecapable of producing.

The game kicks off Satur-day at 6 p.m.

After a strong season start, the Bison are looking to take on St. Francis Saturday at home.

Looking forward toa big game thisweek against St.Francis. -- Craig Bohl, Bisonhead coach

“

In last’s week column, Ihad four questions pertain-ing to the opener for thefootball season. For the mostpart, all of them were an-swered with the expectationsI had hoped for.

The first question was howsophomore quarterbackBrock Jensen would fare inhis first opener as leader ofthe offense. Jensen operatedthe offense very efficientlyfor the Herd, and to me themost impressive part ofJensen’s game was his abil-ity to sit in the pocket.Jensen did a great job of let-ting the plays develop andscanning all options.

Jensen also looked com-fortable with running thetwo-minute offense. Thisgame was close for the firsthalf, and for a while itlooked like it was going to bea one-possession game athalftime. Jensen did a greatjob of moving the ball dur-ing the Bison’s final drive inthe second quarter that ledthem to a touchdown and a14-point lead at the half.

All in all, Brock Jensen an-swered every question I had

about him. I think heshowed why Coach Bohl andthe rest of the staff dubbedhim as the team’s startingquarterback. Granted we’veonly played one gameagainst a visibly weakerfootball team, but I thinkhe’ll continue to see success,especially with Warren Hol-loway lined up on his rightside.

My second question washow many big plays wewould see out of the back-field. This was the only ques-tion that left me with anyskepticism. D.J. McNortonand Sam Ojuri combined for155 yards; most peoplethought McNorton wouldhave that number on hisown.

The running game wassluggish to say the least inthe first half, but it pickedup in the third quarter withthree big runs to the leftsideline. We saw probablyone so-called “big run” fromOjuri where he cut to themiddle of the field and hur-dled over a Lafayette de-fender. McNorton did havethree touchdowns for theday during limited action ashe sat for a good part of thesecond half.

My third question was

whether Ryan Smith couldbecome an elite returner. Ithink we’ll see flashes of thisthroughout the course of theyear. Smith was ready tobust loose if he had thechance, but Lafayette cov-ered punts and kickoffs verywell. Smith was probablymore impressive as a re-ceiver out of the slot as heswitched from tailback to re-ceiver this season.

My final question waswhat the student sectionwould look like, and I canspeak for the general con-sensus and say that I wasmore than impressed withthe showing. Even with theholiday weekend, the stu-dent section wasn’t full, butit was close. The fans alsostayed into the late stages ofthe game even though it wasout of reach. EvenLafayette’s head coachFrank Tavani mentionedthat he was envious of thestudent support.

This week’s game againstSaint Francis will be thefinal before the Bison willhead east to take on the Go-phers at TCF Bank Stadium.Look for the running gameto be established early andanother strong showingfrom the defense.

After defeating UND lastseason in Fargo, the NDSUvolleyball team traveled toGrand Forks on Tuesday totake on the Sioux in theBetty Engelstad Sioux Cen-ter. With 2,397 fans out towitness the contest, UNDtook advantage of the largehome crowd, winning in foursets.

UND took set number one25-17, largely due to sevenerrors on the Bison. Seniorsetter Jennifer Lopez hadfive kills in the first set to goalong with seven assists,proving why she was Sum-mit League Offensive Playerof the Week.

Junior Megan Lambert-

son went down on the firstplay of the set with an ankleinjury that forced the Bisonto find contribution fromelsewhere on the team.

The second set featuredNDSU bouncing back to tiethe match at 1-1. Lopezadded 10 more assists, hook-ing up mostly with BrynnJoki who had six kills in theset. Andrea Henning dug outfive serves to put her matchtotal at eight.

UND took back the mo-mentum in the third set asthey cruised to a 25-19 win.Lopez added eight more as-sists in the third set, four ofthose going to senior JennaDeyle who brought her killsto seven for the match.

The Bison looked asthough they were ready toforce a fifth set and take the

air out of the Betty, but a latetimeout by Sioux HeadCoach Ashley Hardee helpedcontribute to a 9-1 UND runthat would put the matchaway for the Sioux, 3-1.

Lopez led the way forNDSU with 30 assists; shealso contributed two aces,seven kills and five digs.Brynn Joki led the Bison inkills and returns with 11 andeight respectively. AndreaHenning led the team with15 digs. Lauren Cammackhad an impressive showingas she totaled 10 kills, fouraces and 9 digs.

The Bison will take onIowa State Friday at 7 p.m.and Saturday at 1 p.m. inthe Bentson Bunker Field-house.

Kelsey Peterson had a ca-reer-high 15 kills, and AlisonLandwehr recorded 52 as-sists and 11 digs.

The hardest part for theBison this weekend will befinding a way to stop IowaState’s well-balanced attack.During the Cyclones lastmatch against Florida, theCyclones had four playerswith double-doubles. IowaState is also returning fivestarters from last year’s

team that finished third inthe Big 12 and eventuallylost in the first round of theNCAA tournament.

The Cyclones will be oneof two top-25 teams that

NDSU faces this year, alongwith a handful of NCAAtournament qualifiers fromlast year. The Bison areslated to take on NorthernIowa, who is ranked 14th inthe nation. Other NCAAtournament teams thatBison will face this seasonare Missouri, who advancedto the third round; Tulsa,who advanced to the secondround; and Butler, who waseliminated in the first round.
