he  campus  of  North- ern  State  University  came  alive  the  morn- ing  of  Saturday,  Aug.  27.  New  students  swarmed  all  over  the  grounds,  moving  into  the  dorms,  checking  out  the  Uni- versity  Bookstore  and  beginning  their  Wolf  Pack  Orientation.  The  theme  of  the  Fall  2011  orientation  was  “Clue,â€?  based  off  of  the  popular  mystery  game  by  Hasbro.  The  19  orientation  lead- ers  were  led  by  Alpha  Wolf  Rob- bi  Kannas,  senior,  Clear  Lake,  Beta  Wolf  James  Langer,  senior,  Gettysburg,  and  Beta  Wolf  Kim  Wiekamp,  senior,  Clear  Lake.   Groups  included  the  traditional  suspects  in  the  board  game,  such  as  Mrs.  White,  Miss  Scarlett  and  Colonel  Mustard,  but  also  some  created  by  the  Wolf  Pack  mem- bers,  including  Miss  Pink  and  General  Turquoise.  7KH ÂżUVW GD\ RI RULHQWDWLRQ consisted  mostly  of  getting  to  know  fellow  Wolves  and  at- tending  informative  sessions  at  Johnson  Fine  Arts  Center  and Â

residence  halls.  All  of  this  was  followed  with  a  performance  by  comedian  and  magician  Daniel  Martin,  who  cracked  the  audi- ence  up  while  performing  amaz- ing  magic  tricks.  Day  two  combined  additional  important  information  sessions  with  fun  activities  within  and  between  orientation  groups.  Stu- dents  then  had  dinner  with  NSU  IDFXOW\ IROORZHG E\ Ă€RRU PHHW- ings  at  their  dorms.  Later  that  night  they  enjoyed  some  “Bowl- maniaâ€?  at  the  Village  Bowl.  7KH ÂżQDO GD\ RI RULHQWDWLRQ FRQVLVWHG RI WKH SURGXFWLYH RIÂżFH carousel  followed  by  lunch  at  the  Jerde  dining  hall.  The  afternoon  ZDV ÂżOOHG ZLWK PLQLDWXUH JROI go-Âkart  racing  and  bumper  boats  at  Wiley  Park.  For  some,  night  classes  started  that  evening,  but  for  those  who  still  had  time  on  their  side,  there  was  the  President’s  Picnic  on  the  Campus  Green  followed  by  an  ice  cream  social  at  the  Newman  Center.  Thanks  to  this  year’s  orienta- tion,  new  students  have  solved  many  of  the  mysteries  of  being  a  student  at  NSU.

here  is  usually  a  plethora  of  ac- tivities  in  which  to  participate  on  Northern  State  University’s  campus.  However,  if  you  feel  the  urge  to  get  off  campus  for  a  while  and  enjoy  all  that  the  great  town  of  Aberdeen  has  to  offer,  there  are  a  number  of  places  to  checkout  and  enjoy. Wiley  Park  —  An  obvious  choice  for  a  variety  of  reasons,  Wiley  Park  is  simply  the  place  to  go  for  some  good,  whole- some  fun.  Storybook  Land  is  a  favorite  for  all  ages  and  includes  a  maze,  small  play- ground,  slides,  mini  train  rides,  carousel  and  a  climbing  wall.  Wiley  Park  offers  walking  and  biking  paths  with  bike  and  skate  rentals.  There  is  a  lake  and  beach  where  you  can  rent  canoes,  aquacycles,  paddle- boats  and  funyaks.  Thunder  Road  offers  bumper  boats,  miniature  golf  and  go-Âkarts.  The  wildlife  zoo  has  many  animals,  including  buffalo  and  prairie  dogs,  and  keep  watch  for  the  peacocks  that  wander  freely  on  the  grounds.  The  Red  Rooster  Coffee  House  —  Located  on  Main  St.  and  open  until  11  p.m.  or  later  for  those  late  night  java  needs,  The  Red  Rooster  is  a  great  place  to  meet  with  friends  and/or  get  some  homework  done  (using Â
their  free  Wi-ÂFi!).  The  atmo- sphere  is  cozy  and  laidback.  The  Red  Rooster  is  also  a  NQRZQ ÂżOP DQG PXVLF YHQXH perfect  for  those  who  want  to  experience  a  night  of  the  arts.  The  Village  Bowl  —  For  some  indoor  fun  and  friendly  competition,  The  Village  Bowl  is  the  place  to  go.  They  offer  many  specials,  including  Glow  Bowl  on  Friday  and  Satur- day  nights  and  Monday  Buck  Nights,  which  mean  a  dollar  a  game  and  a  dollar  for  shoes.  Wal-ÂMart  and  IHOP  —  Where  do  you  go  at  2  a.m.  if  you’re  bored  and/or  hungry?  The  answer  is  two  of  the  few  places  in  Aberdeen  that  are  open  24  hours.  Whether  you  need  hair  dye  for  a  late-Ânight  prank  or  are  desperately  crav- ing  food  not  made  in  a  micro- wave,  these  are  the  places  to  go.  Want  somewhere  to  get  food  but  don’t  want  to  have  to  go  in  somewhere  to  get  it?  Try  McDonalds’  Drive-Âthru  on  6th  Ave.,  which  is  open  24  hours.  Melgaard  Park  —  Just  a  block  south  of  campus,  Mel- gaard  is  offers  plenty  of  space  for  a  pick-Âup  game  of  touch  football  or  ultimate  Frisbee.  There  is  also  a  basketball  court,  skate  park,  sand  vol- leyball  court,  band  shell  and  playground.  You  can  also  simply  bring  a  blanket  and  enjoy  some  peace  outdoors  and  away  from  campus. Twist  Cone  —  A  local  favor- ite,  Twist  Cone  is  located  on  the Â
way  out  to  Wiley  Park.  It  offers  a  wide  variety  of  cold  treats  as  well  as  hot  foods,  such  as  hot  dogs  and  BBQs.  It  is  a  great  way  to  end  a  day  out  with  friends.  Shenanigans’  Wings  Night  on  Wednesdays  and  La- ger’s  Chicken-Âon-Âa-ÂStick  on  Thursdays  (Ages  21+  only)  —  Shenanigans  offers  a  pound  of  wings  (barbeque,  hot,  or  double-Âdipped)  for  half  the  price  on  Wednesday  nights,  while  Lager’s  Inn  has  chick- en-Âon-Âa-Âstick  for  sixty  cents  a  piece  on  Thursday  nights.  Delicious  food  for  cheap?  What  more  could  a  broke  col- lege  student  ask  for?  Keep  your  eyes  and  ears  peeled  for  other  deals  around  town.  There’s  usually  something  for  every  night  of  the  week.  Sixth  Avenue  Gallery  —  When  it  comes  to  this  place,  the  easier  question  to  ask  is,  “What  doesn’t  this  place  have?â€?  Even  though  the  big  sign  outside  the  building  says  Mattress  Matters,  the  building  contains  so  much  more:  A  pub,  cafĂŠ,  Shrunken  Head  Tattoos,  Charlie’s  House  of  Games  and  a  large  space  for  live  bands,  DJs  and  dancing.  The  Sixth  Avenue  Gallery  is  open  until  2  a.m.  Sun.-ÂThur.  and  4  a.m.  Fri.-  Saturday,  with  live  PXVLF ÂżYH QLJKWV RI WKH ZHHN Jimmy  John’s  —  COM- ING  SOON  TO  ABERDEEN!  Possibly  the  most  exciting  thing  since  IHOP,  soon  you  will  be  able  to  get  your  subs  delivered  to  you  super  fast!

fter  weeks  of  inter- views  and  delibera- tion  last  semester,  Northern  State  Uni- versity  chose  its  next  Director  of  Student  Activities.  %DUW &DULWKHUV ZKR RIÂżFLDO- ly  started  in  the  position  this  past  June,  anticipates  a  busy  semester  for  student  activi- ties  and  looks  forward  to  meet- ing  and  working  with  students. Carithers  begins  his  time  at  NSU  with  16  years  of  student  ac- tivities  experience,  having  served  in  California,  Colorado,  Virginia  and  Rhode  Island  schools  in  either  a  director  or  coordina- tor  capacity.  He  attained  his  bachelor’s  degree  in  Recreation  at  the  University  of  Northern  Iowa  and  his  master’s  degree  in  Recreation  and  Sports  Manage- ment  at  the  University  of  Idaho. 7KH 168 SRSXODWLRQ ÂżUVW DW- tracted  Carithers  to  Aberdeen,  and  the  room  for  growth  on  cam- pus  made  NSU  a  logical  decision.  “I  was  very  impressed  with  the  faculty  and  staff  I  met  dur- ing  my  interview  and  the  strong  sense  of  community  and  col- laboration  across  campus.  There  [is]  tremendous  potential  for  building  a  strong  and  sustain- able  student  activities  program  that  would  meet  the  needs  of  students,â€?  Carithers  said.  Carithers  plans  on  making  positive  changes  on  campus  that  would  improve  the  quality  of  life Â

for  students  who  attend  NSU.  “I  always  involve  students  be- fore  making  changes  to  existing  programs,â€?  Carithers  explained.  “It’s  important  to  gauge  their  needs  and  interests  and  then  work  with  them  to  design  and  implement  new  program  initia- tives.  Over  the  summer  I’ve  had  the  opportunity  to  meet  with  the  incoming  CAB  president  and  Gypsy  Days  co-Âchairs  and  they’re  eager  to  make  things  happen  on  campus.  I’m  excited  to  be  a  part  of  that  process.â€?  The  plan  is  to  offer  more  opportunities  to  students  with  free  time  looking  for  fun  things  to  do  on  campus. As  for  the  time  spent  working  at  NSU  so  far,  Carithers  feels  he  has  had  a  positive  experience.  “Everyone  has  been  very  welcoming  and  extremely  gen- erous  with  their  time  and  sup- port.â€?  He’s  looking  forward  to  meeting  students  and  learn- ing  more  about  their  ideas  for  bettering  life  and  increasing  future  opportunities  at  NSU.
