Standing Rock veterans board backs UND Fighting Sioux nickname
The governing board of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation's Veterans Group voted unanimously Monday to throw its support behind UND's Fighting Sioux nickname.That vote came during a meeting with Ralph Engelstad Arena envoy Sam Dupris, an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe and a decorated Korean War veteran.
Dupris has been visiting Sioux officials on the arena's behalf since early this summer, part of an arena attempt to improve its relations with Sioux tribes, which are strained over UND's continued use of the Sioux nickname.
Black Cloud said he believes most veterans on the reservation support the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo, though not all. -
From Grand Forks Life, the Photo on the Green will be featured on tomorrow's Good Morning America.

From those who went to the game, how was the game day atmosphere? How did the Canad play into the situation? How did the parking fees work out? Shuttle system? Tailgating fees?

I use Firefox for my browser and like when the websites have a logo or icon on their tab and in the address bar. Can you put the new logo there also? Currently SiouxSports.com has the geometric symbol on the tab.

I like the logo and the format changes are great.

NDSU tops UND in first-day enrollment
UND's first day enrollment headcount, released today, came in lower than North Dakota State University's for the first time in the school's 125-year history.UND counted 12,011 students on campus for its first day of classes, about a 2.5 percent drop from last year's figure of 12,325 students. NDSU counted 12,287 students on its first day of classes, about a 2.5 percent gain over last year's figure of 11,992.

I agree. Very nice logo.

I hate to start a new thread for this items, so I thought I would throw it in here.

What's most important is not the date on which the president announces his intention to leave, but the date on which he plans to leave. There's no point in rushing the process to select a new president when the person in office isn't leaving any time soon.
I somewhat agree, but didn't Kupchella say originally that he was leaving in January '08 and is extending to July when asked? I realize that alot of the plans that Kupchella has had are long range goals and he can keep working toward those, but typically someone who is a lame duck is less inclined to produce further. Maybe I'm making too much of the time issue, but 1-1/2 years seems like a long time. With all of that said, I'm all for getting the best person possible for the job.

'Photo on the green' to kick off UND's 125th anniversary plans
UND's 125th anniversary plans begin at 1 p.m. Monday with the school's "photo on the green," a massive group photo in front of Carnegie Hall, referred to in the school's announcement as "the largest photo opportunity ever held on campus."Officials plan to plot out several thousand incoming freshmen, returning students, visiting parents, faculty and staff into the shape of a large U-N-D for the photo.
The first 5,000 participants in the photo will be given green T-shirts with the 125th anniversary logo, officials said.

VIEWPOINT: UND presidential search enjoys good start
As the new academic year begins, the search for the successor to Dr. Charles Kupchella as president of UND is under way.The search committee held an organizational meeting in mid-June and our first working session Aug. 14. Each of those meetings produced unanimity on policy choices that bode well for the search process.
First, the committee decided in June that we would defer the initial stages of the search until the academic community had resumed full activity in August. A time of transition is critical for any institution, and we wanted to make sure that the presidential search tapped into and fostered the energy and optimism that exist on campus about the future of our university.
Deferring the start of the search process would be easier if Kupchella remained in office until July 1, and he has generously agreed to do so.
Is it normal for the process to take 1-1/2 years from the time a current president announces his departure until a new president is selected and seated as the new president? It just seems like an awfully long time.The committee then will review the field of candidates in October, conduct preliminary screening interviews in November, hold campus interviews in January and at our final meeting on Jan. 28, select at least three finalists to recommend to the state board. -
OUR OPINION: Don't soft-sell UND nickname to candidates for presidency
I would think that unless the candidates are clueless they would already have done their homework about UND and know all about the nickname issue. I would prefer that the candidate know as much as possible.When it comes to describing the job of UND's president, should the search committee highlight the nickname issue or shadow it?The committee should spotlight the controversy with a 4,000-watt Xenon bulb. That's because the complex issue is sure to haunt the next president and present some of his or her greatest challenges, just as it has dogged the past three presidents of UND.
And the candidates should know about it.

His arm strength is unquestioned.
In fact, Jake Landry - now the No. 2 quarterback on the UND fall depth chart - may have one of the strongest arms in the history of the program.
But there is a lot more to playing quarterback than arm strength. And that's what Landry is beginning to understand as the former Grand Forks Central standout assumes a critical role for the Sioux, who begin their normal game week preparations today for Thursday's opener against Humboldt (Calif.) State.
Landry received his first true test during the team's annual scrimmage at East Grand Forks Senior High Field last week. He passed the test, displaying solid arm strength along with the ability to recognize and hit receivers on shorter routes.

While UND fast approaches its December courtroom battle against the NCAA over the Fighting Sioux nickname, the Ralph Engelstad Arena is working on what general manager Jody Hodgson calls a parallel diplomatic track.
But some Sioux leaders argue the arena's approach lacks diplomacy.
Early this summer, the arena hired Sam Dupris, an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe, on a contract basis, to meet with local Sioux officials and invite them to discuss the nickname and its future with arena officials, Hodgson said.

From the FYI file.
LM Grand Forks completed their 1000th set! (takes 3 blades for a set)

As a Gulf Coast resident, we watch each tropical wave with interest and understand the impact these storms can have as they materialize into tropical storms and hurricanes. We prayed for the people of Jamaica tonight before the kids went to sleep.

Either thats a hilarious joke, or you are one of the best salesman on earth. I would LOVE to watch a UND admissions counselor go into a Florida high school and try to convince kids that Grand Forks NORTH DAKOTA is the place for them. I'm guessing that would easily be one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Granted, selling UND to Floridians wouldn't be an easy task, but part of UND's Strategic Plan is to
Florida is the fourth most populated state, so it meets the great supply of students statement and with enrollment caps coming on the 11 universities the potential for out-migration of students will be growing. Now may be the time for UND to capture some of these students.Identify target states for recruiting based on criteria such as supply of students, potential for out-migration, tuition agreements, and historical enrollments (e.g., Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Oregon, Washington and Nevada) for focused marketing and recruiting of students. (VPSOS: ongoing).Edit: As a side note. when I was in college in the early '80's there was geography student in my class from Pensacola. Ironically that is now where I live.
Additionally, there is a well-known GF restaurateur from Long Beach CA, who went to UND and decided to stay in GF and open a bar/restaurant.

Perhaps UND should be looking south for new students as well.
College-bound kids feel pinch of cuts
Wayne Dell should be a cinch to become a Gator.The 17-year-old senior is enrolled in the prestigious International Baccalaureate program at Pensacola High School, where he has earned college credit.
And he's no slouch when it comes to extracurriculars. He is governor of Key Club, the high school counterpart of Kiwanis. He's president of the National Honor Society and a member of the Pensacola Opera Board of Directors. He's on the student advisory board for Chain Reaction, a volunteer teen organization.
But enrollment caps starting next spring at all 11 state universities mean his chances of getting into Gainesville are less certain.
College admissions officials will also be looking at civic, church and school leadership and athletic activities. When two students with the same grade point average apply, the one who has been more active outside of academics will win out, Spooner said."They're looking at a total package

UND ranks #5 when it comes to students graduating with the most debt?! Do aviation students really skew the numbers so drastically?
Anyone else see this?

Law school, med school and aerospace would tend to skew things somewhat.
