Future of logo discussed

At one point or another, everyone comes across a friend or family member who tells them a joke that begins with the line “A guy walks into a bar.” The joke usually ends with some kind of witty remark or dirty misunderstanding, but how many times does “said man” exit the bar in frustration due to expensive beer? The probability of this happening is pretty slim, but a recent change in Grand Forks and East Grand Forks may bring this scenario to life.

It has recently been decided that beer prices in Grand Forks and East Grand Forks will be hiked up. The de-cision, made by the Budweiser manufacturer InBev, has just taken effect and will raise the price of a case of beer by a dollar. The raising of price by a dollar may not seem like much, but this most recent infl ux is twice the increase as it has been in the past. The Budweiser Company is not the only corporation raising their prices. In the next month, the people of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks will also see a spike in the prices of Miller and Coors. The cause for the escalation is still a little unclear as is the effect it will have on people. One could assume that the ingredients for the products have increased causing the prices to go up, but according to other sources, the key products that go into making beer are not experienc-ing any kind of price increase. Several students had their opinions to share.

“I would say it’s a good thing,” said Blue Weber. “Enough people in North Dakota have drinking prob-

In a meeting held this summer, the eight mem-ber North Dakota State Board of Higher Education discussed and explored the options associated with the appropriation of funds to the North Dakota University System. A powerful and instrumental organization in determining the fi nancing direction of the state’s universities and their various programs, the State Board regularly confers and assesses data with the goal of articulating the most prudent distri-bution of monies throughout the various universi-ties and within programs specifi c to each university. Recently, the State Board has been reviewing data that suggests more funding should be distributed among science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs in North Dakota, stressing the signifi cance of such programs and articulating the need to invest in the sciences.

When questioned about the budgetary proce-dure of the State Board, former member Rachelle Hadland explained the complex series of decisions and assessments that go along with these decisions. “The budget process is really a two year ordeal,” Hadland explained. “Once one budget is passed, then we immediately start gearing up for the next legislative session. Law that is passed has impact on what kind of budget we’ll put together for the next legislative session, so the tracking process is very

President Robert Kelley and Vice President of Student Affairs Bob Boyd held an open forum yesterday regarding the process behind the re-tirement of UND’s former Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. While it has been several months since the State Board of Higher Education’s announcement that the nickname will be retired over this academic year, Boyd, having been appointed by President Kelley to coordinate the various committees that will oversee the transition, is committed to hon-oring the history and tradition that the former name leaves behind while encouraging student involvement in the selection and implementation of a new name and logo.

The transition of UND from the previous name to what will be the school’s athletic name and logo will happen in three stages as laid out

in the briefi ng. The three steps have committees that have either been selected or are in the process of be-ing constructed, and serve the pur-pose to honor history and tradition, communicate between the president, student body, public and the various committees and work with students and the community to fi nd an ap-propriate and effective moniker.

The fi rst of these three groups is the Honoring History and Tradi-tions Task Group, which is charged with examining how the images and history of the 80 year-old name that has been the athletic identity for the majority of UND’s existence will be remembered, be it through a build-ing, archive, or exhibit. This task group will investigate, meet and dis-cuss over the coming months to fi nd the best way for UND to recognize the former logo and its history. As well as documenting the former logo, the group will advise Kelly and Boyd

with recommendations as to closure regarding the logo retirement.

The second group involved with the transition is the Communica-tions Task Group, which is slated with maintaining communication between the committees, the general public and President Kelley.

The fi nal group, which has yet to be activated, is the New Directions Task Group, which will oversee the process of fi nding a new nickname and logo. This group will be in com-munication with the other commit-tees and the UND community to fi nd a suitable new nickname. The group will be involved with the stu-dent body through an online forum for nickname suggestions as well as a consciousness of the previous nick-name’s signifi cance for UND to not provide a mere replacement, but a succession and new direction for the future of the identity of North Da-kota athletics.

Gathering around la MesaLANGUAGE Students and faculty meet to speak Spanish and de-velop as global citizens.

>mEGAN SEviGNyThe Dakota Student

Walk into Archives Coffee House any day of the week and you’ll find groups of students do-ing homework, discussing current events and catching up on the lat-est gossip. One such group, which meets at Archives every Thursday night at 6 p.m., does this in a slight-ly different way—their conversa-tion is in Spanish.

This group, called La Mesa Española, which means The Span-ish Table, includes both students and teachers of Spanish, as well as anyone else who would like to join in. It’s informal and not required of Spanish students, though many can attest to the fact that their Spanish conversational skills have definitely improved while at La Mesa.

Paul Worley, who played a large part in resuming the meetings after they disbanded several years ago, says that programs like La Mesa Española are great for students who would like to improve their lan-guage skills. One of the definite advantages of these meetings is the informal atmosphere; the conver-sation, instead of classroom topics like history and culture, tends to be about things like family, sum-mer vacations and the big game the weekend before.

One of the attendees of last week’s Mesa was Marcos Martín Diéz. Diéz is teaching Spanish 101 as part of the lector program, which is a student exchange program be-tween UND and the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain. Ac-cording to Diéz, when he was asked to participate in this program, he said yes without a second thought.

According to Claudia Routon, who was key in creating the lector program, this program is for ad-vanced students of Spanish and is very competitive. The single stu-dent selected has the unique op-portunity to travel to Spain and teach English. He or she is also al-lowed to take classes, socialize with other students and gain invaluable

experience speaking and writing in Spanish. While in Spain, the student has a visa and receives a sti-pend to cover living expenses. The student also receives co-op credits while abroad.

How does it feel to be teaching in a foreign country? Diéz admit-ted that, though everything is going well now, his first week was tough. Teaching students who were near his own age felt strange to him. And, as always, there was a bit of a language barrier.

“Studying abroad can be diffi-cult if you don’t know a lot of the language.” He laughed and asked, “Is there an English Mesa?”

Senate makes new text pollsGOvERNmENT Matt Bakke uses funds to look into installing hydration stations on campus.

>bRANDi jEWETTThe Dakota Student

Three new senators were added to Student Government’s roster during its weekly meeting on Sunday.

“I wanted to try something new,” stated sophomore Liz Kacher, the newly appointed Un-declared Senator. “I love politics and wanted to get more involved on campus.”

Senior Fred Burke, a biology and secondary education major, and now the official Education and Human Development Sena-tor, also wanted to try something new.

“One of my friends recom-mended the position and said it would be good experience,” ex-plained Burke.

The final open senator posi-tion was filled by Charlie Kreidel-camp, a senior in the banking and financial economics and German programs.

“I was looking for a chal-lenging experience,” says Kreidel-camp. “And I feel I would bring a unique viewpoint to Student Senate.”

The College of Arts and Sci-ences Senator position still re-mains open. Students interested in the position should stop in the Student Government office to check out an application packet.

After approvals, Student Body President Matt Bakke announced his use of $500 from presidential reserves to research a cost estimate for installing hydration stations on campus. Hydration stations are specially designed to allow users to refill water bottle or similar con-tainers with purified water.

Bakke is currently consider-ing two locations in the Memorial Union and one in the Wellness Center. Future stations may be created in Gamble and in one of the aerospace buildings. Two lo-cations previously considered for the stations were deemed unsuit-able due to inefficient plumbing.

Executive Office Manager Senquis Slater included an update about Student Government’s new polling program in her report. The polling system will allow all students to submit answers to questions printed in the Dakota Student. Poll results will be posted in the next week’s paper.

Technological rarity at UNDOUTDATED The uni-versity may be the only place in the state using parking meters.

>ALLEE mEADThe Dakota StudentOnce again UND has made

history. No, it’s not in academics or athletics or enrollment, it’s the uni-versity’s parking meters, which have become a rarity in the state.

According to a recent Minot Daily News article, UND may be one of the last places in North Dako-ta to still have parking meters, now that the Minot airport is retiring its remaining meters.

Should the UND meters be re-moved as well? Are parking meters becoming archaic in North Dakota? For those who have ever been ticket-ed for a timed-out meter, they might scream, “YES!”

Parking services manager Tim Lee disagrees, arguing that parking meters actually help to cut down on the number of violations. If the campus only had 15-minute park-ing zones or visitor parking, more faculty members and students would be tempted to park in these zones keeping their cars there all day and preventing others from obtaining a parking spot.

In addition, people who park in front of the meters typically will move their cars more quickly to avoid receiving a ticket or having to continuously feed the meter. More people can move in and out of the

parking spaces without dealing with the car that just won’t leave.

“It weeds out a lot of people who tend to violate,” Lee said, “but the main purpose is to provide access to the really busy areas.” And that is accessibility students can take advan-tage of as well.

Lee pointed out that many of the meters on campus are spread out. For example, two meters sit in front of the Hyslop Sports Center while two are located behind Burtness Theatre. For those people on campus willing to pay the few cents, he added, they will almost always be guaranteed a place to park. As one can imag-ine, the parking meters also provide a small amount of revenue to the school but cost only a nickel , dime or a quarter for a certain amount of minutes.

According to the Parking Of-fice’s enforcement and events man-ager Kerrie Teltier, there are 93 park-ing meters on UND’s campus. There is also a loop station at the visitor

parking lot between Carnegie and Babcock where people pay cash or credit and put the printed receipt in their windshields. For a fee of $7, visitors are allowed to keep their cars in the lot all day. North Da-kota State University has switched mostly from parking meters to loop stations like this on its campus.

“It’s hard to argue with that when you’re charging just cents, lit-erally,” Lee added.

North Dakota’s city streets used to be lined with parking meters, but now the state prohibits meters on city streets, Lee said. However, state laws do allow meters in off-street parking areas, such as parking lots.

Parking meters may have be-come an endangered species in North Dakota, but at UND they’re here to stay.

abroad. Routon agrees, and be-lieves that every adult should have a passport and have used it. “We can’t afford not to have our students be global citizens,” she says.

This concept, it seems, is one that La Mesa Española encourages by allowing students to interact with people who come from back-grounds and cultures different from their own. It also provides them with the necessary linguistic skills to communicate with these people. And so, around la mesa, they are gradually maturing as global citi-zens.

lems and not being able to contrib-ute to the addiction might stop some people.” Odd Hansen, another UND student, had a different thought on the situation. “This may be a step-ping stone for the bars to frequently increase prices in the future without people really caring. I don’t think anyone will stop buying beer because of the current raise in prices, but if it keeps happening in the future we might have a problem.”

While the liquor stores are ad-justing to the new prices, the bars in town will have to do some adjusting as well. The prices of kegs are also being affected by the new decision causing the regular price of a glass of beer to go up by anywhere between 10 to 25 cents. While this may seem like a shock to various bar patrons and those legal to drink, several li-quor stores have made an effort to inform their patrons about the cur-rent change. Some stores have put up signs letting people know that they will be seeing some higher numbers in the beer isles. Although the beer price increase is currently in effect, buyers may not yet see the hike in prices due to liquor stores and bars buying and stocking up on beer be-fore the price increase.

So whether you’re planning on going out to a bonfire, getting ready to watch the game, or just hanging out with some friends, be sure to bring a few extra bucks if you decide to get some drinks, because they may end up making all the difference.

04 tuesday september 21, 2010 >commentary

The nickname controversy has been on our campus for years. Students have held their breath, hoping the change won’t happen, while others have waited impa-tiently for the nickname tradition to be left where they believe it belongs—in the past.

These differing viewpoints have divided our campus and have been the agent for much heated debate.

As of April 8, 2010, the student body has been informed that the nickname is set to change. Debate about the moniker has now moved from whether or not we should keep the nickname to how we should appro-priately deal with the transition.

Many people have voiced their opinions on what they fi nd acceptable and what they absolutely do not want for a nickname; some are still holding on to the “Fighting Sioux” tradition, saying that if they can’t have the old moniker they don’t want one at all. We can just be “North Dakota.”

The truth is that we’re in a very exciting time right now in UND history, no matter what side of the debate we’re on. Eighty years of our 127 year university exis-tence has held the Sioux nickname.

That being said, there is a very good chance that the new nickname (if one is chosen) could stand for another 80 years or more. And our generation of UND students gets to help decide what direction the univer-sity will go—what a privilege!

While it’s understandable that some people are up-set about the name change, it seems that there should be more of a buzz about our exciting opportunity to guide the future of our school.

President Kelley and Bob Boyd have reminded us repeatedly that full transparency will be maintained as we transition and that full participation on the stu-dents’ part will be allowed if we choose to take on a new moniker. We should be excited about this democratic process.

In a hundred years, when we’re gone (or maybe still around, depending on medical advancements and our personal vegetable intake), we will have the honor of having taken part in the coining of the nickname that the University of North Dakota uses.

And if you rather hear things that are blunt and harsh, well, the nickname is changing whether you like it or not so you might as well take part in the one thing you can control.

Back to sensitivity—we have the opportunity to re-direct our university’s history. It’s cool, it’s fun and it’s a privilege. Not very many people get to look back on their college experience and say that they were part of the (re)naming of their school. Let’s work together to make great things happen.

Letter: Unfair bias against Tom ShortThe Dakota Student is to be

commended for its front page article on Tom Short, “Controversy or En-tertainment?”

According to Tom, this is the fi rst year that any of the reporters from the Dakota Student who have writ-ten an article on him actually took the time to sit down with him and ask him questions.

The article was actually a good faith effort to report the purpose for Tom’s visit and to represent his mes-sage accurately.

Apparently, that was not the or-der of the day for the editorial board. It astonishes me that so many in the name of reporting now use buzz words like ‘intolerant’ to label any-one with a differing viewpoint.

You, as with so many in the me-dia today, in dealing with a differing viewpoint, know only the tactics of

name calling, condescending speech and shouting down and eliminating the opposing viewpoint.

This is fascist and is what most of reporting has become today – unfair, unbalanced and in fact, intolerant.

Please fi nd one major news source, other than Fox News that has reported on the young female re-porter, Molly Norris, of The Seattle Weekly, who at the recommendation of the FBI entered into what is basi-cally the federal witness protection program, at her own cost, because of her recent cartoon rendition of Mo-hammed.

Apparently her sketch has of-fended so many Muslims that she was placed on a “death list.” Where I come from, that’s clearly intoler-ance.

Where is the Dakota Student’s editorial board and, more important-

ly, every major news source when it comes to condemning this atrocious act of intolerance?

For the record, the student pic-tured on the front page came back the next day and made a public apol-ogy for speaking against Tom Short without fully listening to what he had to say.

It might serve the Dakota Stu-dent and the editorial board well to practice the same type of tolerance.

I believe Tom Short has chal-lenged the students’ view points and what they’ve been taught in liberal schools. As a UND student and as a member of h2o, I will continue to en-courage Tom Short’s visits and stand-ing for the Truth to God’s Word.

Sincerely,

TV creates bonding timeDuring the spring of 2009, I studied

abroad in Norway, but let’s backtrack for a minute. The fi rst twenty some years of my life I always had school and athletics or school and work. I was always doing something that kept me busy for most of the day. During this semester abroad, I found myself attached to more televison shows than I had fi ngers; I guess they took up the space left behind from not having a job or athletic responsibilities.

Now I guess that makes me sound like a shut-in and kind of a nerd, but watching these shows was more of a community ef-fort than anything else. I had a Psych clan, Big Bang Theory group, Heroes Posse, an Offi ce brigade and of course others.

I was once told that TV is the new movie. While I don’t necessarily agree, because I enjoy the value of the theater ex-perience, the advent of TiVo and DVR has made tv programs more accessible because one could skip the commercials...a novel thought because a tv show is merely time fi ller between two ads, but that is neither here nor there. I love that TV shows are becoming ridiculously niche. Everyone has that one show that they will defend at any cost, and that one moment where

one can share their fandom with someone else is like joining that secret club for the fi rst time. “Oh my god! I love ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia too!’” Then follow-ing conversation on how Charlie makes the show (which is completely true) makes one’s passion for the show seem credible.

With the pending school year, my fi rst in Law School, I am unsure how much

time I am willing to devote to these shows. There are problems involved with skip-ping shows. Let’s pretend that I plan to study all week and then on the weekends watch all the shows online. There are a few problems with this logic. The fi rst be-ing that I am unsure if I can even make the weekend, being burnt out from reading or homework is easily fi xed by turning on “How I Met Your Mother” and watching Barney do Barney things.

Secondly, everyone has that friend that texts you during the show “I cant believe they already merged tribes on ‘Survivor!!’” or subsequent texts relating to that time and date during the week.

My second option would be to skip the season all together and try to catch up after the school year or during winter break. Another very realistic and valid option, but it also has fl aws. Among my group of close friends from college and the few left from high school, these shows are highly quotable. So if you are hanging out with your buds enjoying a few buds and someone drops a “Family Guy” quote, it would be really awkward to be the only guy not laughing because you are behind the times.

I am not proposing that I am going to fail out of Law School because I just want to watch TV all day long, but it is some-thing that I am thankful for because it gives me that 30 or 60 minute break where my brain can return back to equilibrium. So I can only hope that someone out there, besides me, can appreciate TV for what it is, an experience to get away or to share with a friend.

Job search ends in plasma disaster>SARA TEzEl

Dakota StudentBeing a college student gen-

erally means cutting corners in order to be able to afford tuition by the time the bill is electroni-cally posted to our account. Af-ter working hours upon hours during the summer at yet another thankless job, many of us drag our tired, beaten (if you spent the summer working at some sort of childcare center) bodies to our computers and let loose a few tears as we watch our once full bank account hit zero within a matter of seconds.

Now that school is paid, we are led to believe that we can re-lax, stop working for “the man” and start working on our futures in the form of attending classes and completing homework. This idea is all fine and dandy until two or three weeks pass by and you realize that you’ve run out of booze, out of food, out of laun-dry detergent or perhaps body deodorant.

So society forces you to roam the streets searching for a job so that your friends allow you to

once again party with them and your classmates no longer visibly wilt when you enter a room. Ah, young college person, what you don’t realize is that you’re too far into the semester to find a good work-study job or realistic off-campus place of employment. The only option left for you is to hit the biology department and beg to clean out the animal’s cages…but someone has already beaten you to that.

You drag your body to your college home and are pretend to lie in bed until your own body odor knocks you out and kills you when you see that your roommate has a colorful bandage on his arm. He tells you about donating plasma.

This plasma thing sounds like a dream. You wonder how they can legally pay you for your body’s fluid while you do noth-ing but lean back and do home-work. So you sign up. You go and do your physical and quickly read over the papers that say you will not sue if something goes wrong…or you die.

This, dear readers, is where my story begins. I’m hooked up

I’m a pretty tame person for the most part. I wear an inordinate amount of cardigans, I don’t text, and I knit. I’m like an old person, really. You’d never expect that I would believe in this sort of thing. Typically, I don’t buy into crazy conspiracy theories either (except JFK, but who doesn’t?). I believe that we really landed on the moon. I do not think the U.S. government is responsible for 9/11. Elvis is dead. One could even say that I’m a fairly rea-sonable person, so you imagine how perplexed I was when I woke up one morning and real-ized that I felt a resonating dislike for robots. I hate them.

Things began to change, shifting into a paranoid, crazy-eyed focus when I heard “Robots” by Flight of the Conchords for the first time. A fan of Star Wars, I felt nothing but positive feelings towards them until that folky song filled my head. For those of you who have yet to hear it, it was written for the advent of robot domination. Taking place in the year 2000, two robots sing of why their kind was forced to eradicate all human life: “their system of oppression / what did it lead to / oh the robot depression / robots ruled by people / they had so much aggression that we just had to kill them / had to shut their systems down.”

As preposterous as it may sound, I sort of think that robots are against me now. At first only little things caught my attention. The oven always burns my cookies. The micro-wave causes every cup of hot chocolate I make to overflow, ensuring that someone (me) has to clean it. Tricky bastards, those appliances. However, it wasn’t until the escalation of the Droid smart phone that legitimate suspicions began to rise.

Several friends now own one, and almost every one has shown signs of resistance against me. One merely refuses to ring when I call it, thwarting any possible attempts to inform its owner of its evil nature. Regarding her phone, she has said: “My whole life is on that phone. I don’t know what I would do if I lost it.” My opinion is that those evil little buggers seek that very dependency so they can gain the controlling authority in the relationship and eventually command their owners. It’s just a

thought. Need I remind anyone whose side the droids in Star Wars were on? That name is not a coincidence.

The other droid I am familiar with, my nemesis you could say, tries to fill its owner’s head with lies about me. This droid takes the voice mails I leave and emails a transcript of what I am saying to my friend. Most of the time it will turn a simple “Hey Nick” into a “Hey baby,” but other times its message is much more incriminating. For example, I may leave a simple, lovely message for my friend discussing—oh, I don’t know—charity work and saving the environment, and the droid will distort it into: Hi, hey, its me. I am just call-ing to see hi things easier if you’re any better if you still have that pesky man boy final feed for years. I know you’re at work. I was just hoping that by me a call everyone got food poisoning and have a good long. Well maybe that would be a lesson, America [actual transcript].Upon reading this my friend would have no choice but to believe that I hate America and want to food poison large groups of people.

It has become sort of an unofficial extra-curricular activity of mine, warning people of these adversaries. When a nurse I know described her new job of working with Sim-Man, a robotic man that will feign illnesses to provide life-like practice to medical students, I asked her how she felt about aiding in the imminent robot revolution. If they can fake illnesses, what else can they fake? When others use convenient GPS features, I pose the theory that their phones are attempting to lead them into isolation where they will be attacked. While the people in my life may not enjoy this commentary, I feel an obligation to provide it.

I have considered that I, like Neo in the Matrix, could be the chosen one. However, those who know me would argue that my proficient skill in badger dancing (free-style dance/kick/fighting) would be insufficient against robots because my wicked shin-kicks would have no effect.

Those who disagree may scoff, but those who believe as I do can take comfort in the notion that I’m doing what I can. They’re out there, UND. Watch out.

Last week, the Pope and one of his Cardinals in particular found themselves embroiled in a minor scandal that, for once, had nothing to do with the well-fol-lowed “find the priest! find the pedophile!” carnival game so popular in the Vatican in the last several decades. Instead, the Cardinal, Walter Kasper, likened Pope Benedict’s visit to Great Britain to that of landing “in a third world country” (Fun-nily enough, Kasper is the Vatican’s de-facto “ambassador” to the Church of England) thanks to its atheistic ways and lack of “pure” Catholic faith. Needless to say, the country’s news media, politicians, and citi-zens were up in arms over the Cardinal’s remark/insinuation that Great Britain is akin to a minor African republic.

As someone who once took the local-est of local trains (the amount of stops we made on the slow journey would have made a stop-every-block city tram look “express”) between the Manchester airport and Manchester’s city center, I could see where Cardinal Kasper was coming from, particularly after my car was boarded by several lesser members of a tribe of chavs heading into the city to engage in public intoxication and vomiting (truthfully, it was like Grand Forks but with less-funny accents). Kasper’s comment, however, got me thinking about humans’ perception of place: it’s “1st world” or 3rd world, good or bad, “God’s country” or “Place where the people sound like Fargo/God’s For-saken Country.” In 23 years on this Earth, I’ve had the opportunity to encounter and challenge my own views of the world first-hand in 23 countries, 38 states and 3 Ca-nadian provinces. I’ve also come to know individuals from 50 some countries on this pale blue dot we call Earth.

The Honors Program here at UND has a traveling mascot which tags along with students as they make their way in the world. Chomsky the gnome (get it?), to date, has been all over Europe (I had the honor of carting him to Lyon and Greno-ble in France) and will soon be making his way to Asia. I observed two students in-between classes mentioning their inner

desire to see him travel to seven continents, to which one remarked that South America would be awesome, but she didn’t want to go because it was “too dan-gerous.”

Three summers ago I attended the most epic party I’ve ever been

to…the drinks flowed, a live band rocked a huge crowd, and everyone danced until the wee hours of the morning and would have continued dancing had we not been kicked out. Beer was $1.50 a bottle, and I could score a top shelf hand-made mojito for $3. During that same trip, I took a well-organized bus system to several world-class museums and a shopping mall that made the Columbia Mall look like a hole in the wall. I was safe and more importantly, felt safe. After three weeks in and around Bo-gota, Colombia, I wasn’t able to live up to friends’ and families’ expectation that I’d be kidnapped, raped, mugged, snort co-caine off of dead hookers and eventually held for ransom and murdered by fascist rebels (hopefully in that order). Instead, I had one of the most amazing adventures I’ll likely encounter in my life. All in a country deemed by most Americans to be “dangerous” and well entrenched in the “third world.”

Yes, I had to be careful and smart while I was there. Instead of the “third world,” I found a country and, even more so, a peo-ple that embodied and, amazingly enough,

Student parents helped by co-op

According to an article about childcare cooperatives, “a child care co-op is an informal orga-nization made up of parents in a community which allows each of the members to achieve some time to themselves.” (http://www.asso-ciatedcontent.com/article/85865/organize_a_child_care_coop.html?cat=9).

In other words, a child care co-operative is a group of people who come together in a community to get together, trade child care, meet up, support one another, and so on. Childcare is expensive, and if parents can trade childcare instead of paying for it, we can save money, make friends, and help each other. Raising kids is hard and helping each other helps us out as parents and helps our children. Asking for help is a good thing. Several par-ents in Grand Forks have started a childcare cooperative and there are several reasons why Grand Forks needs something like this.

As a mother in graduate school, I need help. As a mother, I also know other parents who need help. After several months of discussions with other parents, we decided to form a childcare co-operative.

“How does a child care co-operative work?” you may ask. A childcare cooperative is run by everyone involved. Parents trade childcare hours with each other instead of paying for childcare. This helps parents save money, have time for themselves, and pro-vides ways for their children to meet other children.

So, how is this applicable to students, faculty, and staff on campus? Anyone can get in-volved. We also have parents who are not affiliated with UND in-volved. We have lists of phone numbers growing; we created a facebook group and an email ad-dress. Things have been going re-ally well and the parents involved are getting help. We also hold a 6SARA > page 6HEATHER >

At first, I remain calm, re-spectfully trying to grab the at-tention of the woman in my area. She seems me trying to signal her, nods that she’ll be with me in a minute, and then goes back to whatever task she was work-ing on. The blood keeps pouring out so I, at a slightly higher pitch than I normally use, call out “I’m bleeding over here!”

The woman takes a slightly less than hurried pace over to me and covers the blood up with a cotton swab. She calmly explains that sometimes this happens as she finishes wiping up the blood and readjusts the needle.

Two minutes later, my ma-chine starts beeping, and not to signal that my donation has reached its end. I listen to her and another young man talk

tensive.” Hadland went on to ex-plain that the fi nal say of the budget is left to the state legislature, and that they have the power to approve or make changes to recommendations made by the various parties during the process.

The process of determining the actual distribution of funds is ardu-ous, Hadland explained, during which months of research is con-ducted. When asked whether this process took into consideration the respective fi nancial need of various programs, Hadland explained that it does, but only to some degree. “Well, that’s tricky because universities lob-by for their specifi c needs. The board is responsible for determining what the system “needs” the most whether that be deferred maintenance costs at several schools, a new building or increased student aid. Again though, in the end the legislature makes the fi nal call in allocating state money.”

As has been reported, it is a stated goal of the State Board to promote the number of graduates in math and engineering programs. Hadland sug-gested that this is because “Science, technology, math and engineering jobs or STEM jobs are really being pushed right now because there’s a shortage in those professions. The STEM initiative goes from a federal to state level and spans from K-12 education to college. The big push is to start encouraging programs for children that encourage exploration of math and science careers.”

In a national environment in which careers in the sciences may

have the reputation of appearing daunting to young students, Had-land suggests that the goal of this particular agenda policy is to make such careers appear “less scary for kids,” thus fostering a statewide and ultimately national environment in which more young students will be more inclined to explore career paths in the sciences.

Various students in math and sciences programs at UND have voiced approval for such a program. Senior and Computer Science ma-jor Michael Tintes expressed that he feels as though increasing the bud-get in STEM programs “is a step in the right direction,” in addition to voicing frustration with the current monetary practices of the programs with which he is involved.

Overall, the push by the State Board to highlight the needs of STEM programs is but one plank in their platform. “Of course, this won’t be the only program the state board emphasizes, but this has been an important initiative for several years now,” Hadland explained.

meeting every two to three weeks. The meetings are a time to meet other parents and children, fi gure out what we need from each other, and make friends. We also talked about trading children’s clothing, toys, and other items. That way we can save money, recycle, and sup-port one another in other ways.

Parenting is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Now that I am in graduate school and have evening classes coming up, I need more help than I have ever needed before. Me being a single mother, my daughter’s father is not involved so I do not have someone else to fall back on. Being involved with the childcare cooperative has been a re-lief to me, even when I get an hour or two to myself. This allows me to focus on what I need to get done and have some time for myself.

Other student parents, faculty, and staff are invited to get involved. The childcare cooperative wants other parents to get involved. Par-ents need help and time to them-selves. My daughter goes swim-ming with another family who is involved during open swim days at the YMCA on Sundays. During this time, I either work out or catch up on homework. Having more parents involved gives me more chances for alone time and catch-ing up on work and homework.

In a culture that has an indi-vidualistic approach to such mat-ters and does not take parenting seriously, support is so important. There are no handbooks that come along with a birth of a child and of-ten parents rely on the advice and support of others to get through tough ordeals. A childcare co-operative aids to support parents and help them through some of the tough times of parenting. Parents need breaks to get through and help is completely reasonable and okay.

There are several student par-ents on campus and I support them. Some days can be extremely draining on me, so being able to have a list of numbers to call is so important, even if it is just to vent. Student parents: I invite you to be a part of the childcare co-operative, as I understand how it can be. Soli-darity!

exceeded the values of those of us in the “fi rst world.” This past summer, I spent a month in Philadelphia, PA, where I saw parts of the city that looked worse off than even the dirti-est of slums I encountered in Costa Rica or Colombia. Even in Grand Forks, while arguably “safe” enough to walk down-town alone, there are parts of the city that would be in the running for “Sh*thole of the Month” in UN rankings.

Whether a Cardinal in the Vatican or a Halvorson looking at a news story in Grand Forks, it’s imperative that we remem-ber to put things into perspec-tive. One person’s defi nition of “third world” might hide a seven hour opportunity to dance until dawn, shoot aguardiente with your friends, and wake up the next morning without regrets.

about what probably went wrong as she takes the needle out of my right arm and prepares the left one so that I can continue my dona-tion and make my measly twenty dollars.

The needle isn’t in my left arm for two minutes when the woman realizes that my blood is clotting, or something, and I cannot con-tinue my donation. The nurse comes and explains that I have to wait for thirty minutes before I can leave and that bruising is possible.

So I wait for thirty minutes before I leave and no more than a day later, my arm is covered in bruises that cause people to stare and wonder what goes on between me and my boyfriend behind closed doors.

I’ve decided that I would rather wash myself in the Wellness show-ers using any soap that may have been left behind. I’ve decided that I will sneak into my roommate’s room and steal her deodorant when she is in class.

I’ve also decided that eating is overrated and if push comes to shove, I can always begin dump-ster diving. Okay, you caught me; I’m not that disgusting. I’m not going to do any of these things be-cause my roommate told me of a tax-free opportunity that is called “hooking.” I’m job shadowing her this weekend.

This coming Wednesday, in-ternationally renowned trombone soloist Ken Shifrin will be pre-senting a recital in the Josephine Campbell recital hall on Septem-ber 22nd at 8:00 p.m. Accompa-nying him will be UND faculty Dave Hendrickson, Dr. Joel Pugh on trombone and Dr. Ronnie Ingle on trumpet. The pro-gram will include the Concerto for Alto Trombone by Georg Christoph Wagenseil, the Adagio et Allegro Molto for Two Alto Trombones by Michael Haydn, Daniel Speers Sonata for Three Trombones and Alma Ingrate for Alto Trombone and Trumpet by Emperor Joseph I.

The Visiting Professor of Trombone of the Prague Con-servatoire of Music, Shifrin was awarded a PhD in musicology from Oxford University, where

he was also the recipient of the Oxford University Press Music & Letters Award, as well as being named the Halstead Scholar. From 2000-2004, he was a post-doctoral Research Exchange Scholar for the Czech Academy of Science and has presented papers at musicol-ogy meetings on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2005, the Lord Chan-cellor appointed Dr. Shifrin a Mag-istrate Judge for England & Wales and sits as a Family Court Judge in Birmingham.

In a counter to the crass trom-b o n e j o k e , “ H o w m a n y trombon-ists does it take to c h a n g e a light b u l b ? Five. One

to change it, and four to make lu-dicrous sexual comments,” Charles Dutoit, chief conductor and artis-tic adviser of The Philadelphia Or-chestra is quoted as saying, “Ken

Shifrin demonstrated outstanding instrumental ability as well as ex-cellent qualities of musicianship.”

Since 1994, Dr. Shifrin has been the artistic director of the in-ternational touring ensemble Pos-aune Voce Trio. He is described as one of the leading performers on the alto trombone in the world. A famed guest soloist, he has played with the U.S. Navy Band, the U.S. Army Orchestra and Band, the Malta International Arts Festival, the Dvorak Summer Festival, and at the Edinburgh Festival, as well as presenting recitals and master classes in Vienna, Prague, Buda-pest, Krakow, Bratislava, Kiev, Cardiff, Oxford and Washington D.C. He gave the world premiere of the Leopold Mozart Concerto for Trombone among others.

Seldom does a documentary come out that encapsulates not only a historical period through the focus of a person but is able to then analyze the development of American culture as well as Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry. The film shares the accounts of those that knew the man, telling the story of Jerry and, in doing so, explaining the evolution of an art form.

The film tells the story of Norman “Jerry” Collins, a sailor, patriot and tattooist who created the style that is now referred to as the “old school” tattoo. Collins, through his travels to China and Japan, was able to learn and emu-late the style of traditional Japa-nese and Chinese artwork and tattooing, and throughout his ca-reer melded Americana style with Japanese elegance.

Sailor Jerry’s long time home base was his shop on Hotel Street in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he would tattoo drunken sailors before they went to fight in Ja-pan during the Second World War. It was from the numerous bars, brothels and tattoo shops that Jerry coined the phrase that adorned many sailor’s hearts and bodies, “stewed, screwed, and tat-tooed.”

It was the permanent and individual nature of tattooing juxtaposed with the emotionless, dangerous life of the wartime ser-viceman that fed sailors’ desire to be tattooed, and all Jerry had to do was put up shop in Ha-waii, the perfect hub for anyone wishing to profit from the times. Collins wasn’t in the business for profit, though, as he felt a part of the scene, a part of the madness that was Hawaii in the 1940’s. While Sailor Jerry changed the physical appearance of thousands of soldiers during that time, he was the one changed by them, and adopted the same attitude about living.

Throughout his life, Collins lived up to his reputation and personality with no hesitation—as he is remembered for his vulgar and rough language, his no-b.s. approach to business and life and his random antics that included tattooing his shop monkey and running a late night radio pro-gram where he ranted about his radical conservative-liberalist be-liefs. As is said in the documen-tary, “Jerry was the only person who hated Nixon because he thought Nixon was too liberal.”

During his career as a tattoo-ist, Sailor Jerry singlehandedly created the modern tattoo by merging Asian and American tat-too styles. Although he disliked the Japanese, Collins respected the culture enough to appreciate their art and did his best “to beat them at their own game.”

Near the end of his life, Col-lins mentored a young tattooist by the name of Don “Ed” Hardy, who, before selling out to the fashion industry, took Jerry’s in-terest in Japanese art to the next

level, studying in Japan and c o n t i n u i n g Jerry’s legacy. Now, all that remains are countless pag-es of tattoo flash designs, a rum brand and a legend

that lives in the skin of many, all because of a modern artist that made the living his canvas and served his country with an ink-covered needle, the one and only, Hori Smoku, Sailor Jerry.

After back-to-back losses to open the season, returning to the confi nes of the Alerus Center is ex-actly what the UND football team needed. DII Northeastern St. knew they were overmatched coming into Saturday’s tilt, and North Dakota didn’t do them any favors as they cruised to a 55-14 win. It was the eighth-straight Potato Bowl victory for North Dakota, who improved to 1-2 on the year.

Redshirt freshman wide receiver Greg Hardin showed off his explo-siveness against the Riverhawks on more than one occasion Saturday. In the fi rst quarter, quarterback Jake Landry lofted a perfect touchdown pass that was just out of the reach of the defender and fell right into the hands of Hardin in the corner of the end zone for a 19-yard score. Hardin didn’t get much time to enjoy his fi rst touchdown, because 1:43 seconds later he was celebrat-ing his second. This time it didn’t come from Landry. Hardin came in motion from the left hash mark and took the handoff for a 63-yard TD

down the sidelines out-racing the NSU defenders. There were numerous defend-ers that fell short of catching the speedy freshman on the play.

While Landry only threw 14 passes against NSU, when he got the opportunity to fl ing the ball around he connected on a few throws that even Brett Favre or Peyton Manning would be impressed with.

UND from the get-go clearly wanted to use its size advan-tage on the offensive line to run the foot-ball. For the game, North Dakota ran the ball 48 times total-ing a ridiculous 357 yards on the ground, which comes out to 7.4 yards per carry.

It wasn’t just the offense getting things done on the fi eld against the Riverhawks. The defense pressured the NSU quarterbacks continuously throughout the afternoon, and the running game wasn’t much better totaling just 50 yards on 30 carries.

Junior linebacker Dan Hen-drickson led the UND defense with eight tackles, but it was his big hits

that were most impressive.Hardin wasn’t the only offensive

player to have a big game. Junior running back Josh Murray looked as if he were running downhill against a defense that was stuck running in the wind. The Pepin, Wisconsin na-tive made the most of his 13 carries racking up 131 yards and a TD.

Fans that wanted a Potato Bowl shutout will have to hope the UND defense can get it done later this sea-

son. NSU fi nally got on the board at the 7:56 mark in the fourth quarter when Cale Fulps hooked up with Ben Randle for a seven-yard score. It wouldn’t be the Riverhawks last score, as they added a late TD in the fi nal minute of the game when Ed-ward Victorian punched it into the end zone.

After a day of festivities, North Dakota fans got to watch their team cap off an eventful day with a much

needed W. Next up for UND will be a

tough home game against North-western St. next Saturday. The De-mons, like UND, are 1-2 on the season after beating Tarleton State over the weekend.

improve their all-time lead in series to an a s t o u n d i n g 77-11.

NDSU s o p h o m o r e Brynn Joki played phe-nomenal, fin-ishing with

18 kills and 10 digs. UND head coach Ashley Hardee was left

with nothing but praise for the 6’1 Joki, saying that “She played like an All-American.”

Facing a 24-22 deficit in the 1st set, Joki crushed UND’s early chance to steal a set as she exe-cuted two kills to stave off two separate game-point opportuni-ties for North Dakota.

UND raced out to 12-11 lead in the 2nd set, but once again the Bison showed the patient matu-rity to withstand the early rallies and fought back to win the set.

UND was led offensively by the junior combination of Devin Trefz and Annika Smed, who each posted nine kills, but UND only combined for 32 in the en-tire match. Senior Erin Joki (the little sister of Brynn) had seven kills on 19 swings.

“I thought we played good volleyball in those first two sets and really responded to a tough

atmosphere,” UND head coach Ashley Hardee said. “But, you have to give NDSU credit. They cleaned things up and were able to stay in their system, which we had a hard time stopping. Brynn played fantastic for them and she was hard for us to slow down.”

UND responded strongly on Friday, as they posted back-to-back victo-ries over the South Dakota State Jackrab-bits (25-19, 25-18, 20-25, 25-15) and the South Da-kota Coyotes (25-23, 26-24, 25-14). Smed led UND in its tri-umph over the pesky Jackrabbits, as she contributed 14 kills and 18 digs while leading a crucial UND

8-0 run to close out the 1st set, setting the momentum for the rest of the match.

The Coyotes are rebuilding, and it showed in the 3-game sweep.

The Coyotes would stage mini-runs to get back into the sets, only to let crucial mistakes

such as poor defensive po-sitioning and service errors u l t i m a t e l y lead to UND’s 4th straight victory with their inter-state rivals.

Smed and Trefz paced

UND’s offense with ten kills apiece, and redshirt freshman Lisa Parlich added eight kills while sharing the team lead in blocks at four with junior Tiara Russell.

“Ellen is really starting to fig-ure things out at this level, and you can see her confidence build-ing,” Hardee said. “She played really well today and we got a nice effort out of Erica Turner playing at libero for the first time.”

The win lifted UND to a season record of 10-4 heading into Saturday’s showdown with Tulsa.

The Golden Hurricane (have to love the non-plural nicknames) was too much for North Dakota though, as Tulsa stretched its winning streak to seven games as they swept 25-20, 25-22, 25-23.

After two back-and-forth sets, UND held brief leads early in the third set, but Tulsa would eventually build a 22-15 advan-tage behind its attacking sopho-more combo of Tyler Henderson and Diana Silva.

North Dakota did not throw in the towel, though as a 5-0 run pulled them within two at 22-20. UND would then stave off four big set points and cut its deficit to 24-23 before a service error by Trefz finally ended the match.

“We played point-for-point with a talented Tulsa team throughout the entire match, but we just made too many mistakes late in sets to pull out the vic-tory,” Hardee said.

“Henderson had another fan-tastic match for them. She was getting All-American consider-ation as a freshman and she is well on her way to securing those honors this season.”

The University of North Da-kota’s Women’s Soccer team bat-tled a pair of southern squads last weekend, New Mexico State Uni-versity Aggies and UTEP Miners ( University of Texas El Paso). The team traveled over 3,200 miles round trip to maybe earn their first victory of the early sea-son but failed to notch a score the whole weekend in losses against NMSU 1-0 on an early strike to the top left corner by an Aggie forward 8:24 into the game.

North Dakota played great defense from there on out but couldn’t capitalize any of their opportunities, outshooting the home team 9-5 with shots on

goal, and 13-11 in shots attempt-ed. Aggies goalie Mikaela Bitner shut North Dakota out with nine saves, on the other end Coach Gay said of their own goal keeper, “Mon-ica Stierman (Sr. Mahto-medi, Minn.) had a break out game for us.” Stierman had four saves in the match.

The next day North Dak-kota traveled to El Paso Texas to play UTEP, leaving their nerves in New Mexico. They bused 45 miles away from their hard fought loss against New Mexico State to take on a tough Texan Team. They once again let up a goal within the first 10 minutes of the game but after the UTEP’s first notch; North Dakota played a great de-fensive game throughout the first

half. The Second half the Miners recorded two more goals, finish-ing North Dakota’s weekend with

a 3-0 lost. The squad played e x c e p t i o n a l defense even though the score wouldn’t hint towards that, as they held the Min-ers to a 37% shot percent-

age (shots on goal/shots attempt-ed) Coach Gay simply said “The difference was their ability to put their chances away.” Shots on goal were in favor of UTEP 11-10; North Dakota falling short by one goal. Coach Kristen Gay of North Dakota told UND Media that “It’s tough playing back to back games like that against good teams.”

The road trip wasn’t all dis-appointment for North Dakota women even though they didn’t

notch that first victory they needed to turn things around. by playing exceptional defense and acquiring great experience play-ing two D-I premiere programs North Dakota could have a con-fidence booster as they head to Missoula for the Montana Tour-nament where they play Universi-ty of New Mexico and University of Montana this weekend (Sep-tember 17-19th)

In the latest results, North Dakota have lost to New Mexico in the first game of the tourna-ment 2-0. Being shut-out for three straight games, they are now 0-2 against teams from New Mexico this season. They are cur-rently in progress against tourna-ment host Montana where they look to notch their first goal in four games and to get that first victory this season.
