Vikings stadium
construction 17
percent complete
Despite controversy over the design, the massive project
moves closer to its grand opening in 2016
BY ANNA KOCH
As the largest and most iconic
construction project in Minne-
apolis, the new Vikings Stadium
begins to take shape as construc-
tion workers and the Minnesota
Sports Facility Association
(MSFA) ensure the massive
project stays on schedule and
within the set $1 billion dollar
budget.
Currently in the 12th month
of construction, more than 17
percent of the stadium is com-
plete, as crews focus on pour-
ing thousands of cubic yards
of concrete and installing steel
roof trusses weighing more than
177 tons and towering 275 feet
above street level.
The heaviest pieces are lifted
into place by the largest tow-
er crane in the world, which is
supported by four other tower
cranes used to maneuver the re-
maining large materials. These
cranes will also install the glass-
like material for the stadiums
see-through roof the largest
roof of its kind in North Amer-
ica.
Its a huge construction op-
eration, but with a very large
equity component to it, said
Jennifer Hathaway, director of
communications at the MSFA.
The MSFA has exceeded its
employment goals for the num-
ber of hours worked by minority
workers by 6 percent, and the
number of hours worked by
women by 3 percent. The Asso-
ciation is using more than 200
Minnesota-based companies to
contribute with construction,
and more than 550 construction
workers are on-site everyday.
Guidelines for the minimum
number of hours labored by
minority workers, women and
veterans were mandated by the
state before construction on the
48 percent of staf
have degrees from
other institutions
Staf without North Central degrees share their perspective
BY KAYLA TRULSEN
According to director of hu-
man resources David Harrison,
52 percent of staff members
hold degrees from North Central
and 48 percent of staff members
do not. These staff members
without North Central degrees
state that their college experi-
ence still plays a role in their
current position on campus.
Administrative assistant
for the college of missions
and school of business, Vien-
na Lewin, attended Cedarville
University in Cedarville, Ohio.
According to Lewin, both uni-
versities emphasize spiritual
life, developing students, grow-
ing community and forming
long-lasting relationships. One
major difference, though, is the
effect that the size of each uni-
versity has on the culture there.
Cedarville has around 3,600
students and a large campus,
so naturally the atmosphere at
North Central is different in that
way, said Lewin. I have no-
ticed during my time here that
North Central is very much a
close-knit family and every de-
partment is interconnected.
According to Lewin, because
she did not attend college here
she has a different perspective
of how policies and processes
work within the university.
When I frst started working
at North Central, it took me a
little while to understand North
Central culture, said Lewin.
But, I think that this helped
me understand new students
who are trying to assimilate into
North Central and think of ways
to help them better adjust to life
and the culture here.
In her position, Lewin is in-
volved with students and faculty
in both the college of missions
and the school of business. She
plans events and meetings for
both departments, helps cre-
ate new policy and curriculum
changes each semester, and she
manages student internships,
feldwork experiences and col-
lege of missions study abroad
programs. She is also involved
in several committees on cam-
pus, among other things.
Halloween
outreach to
unite community
Elliot Park United will open North Centrals doors to the
community for a family-friendly Halloween party
BY REBEKAH JACOBSON
On Oct. 31, Elliot Park Unit-
ed along with other IMPACT
organizations will host the
Community Fall Party also
known as the Halloween Out-
reach as an alternative event
to trick-or-treating for families
in the neighborhood. The Lego
Movie-themed party will fea-
ture carnival games, infatable
games, a costume contest, snack
food, a community business fair
for parents, and other activities
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the
Clark Danielson Gymnasium.
Elliot Park United co-director
and junior social work major
Rebecca Thomas comments that
they hope the event will draw in
over 500 people, which would
be double of previous years
attendances. Thomas and her
co-director, sophomore busi-
ness administration major Kari
Mindeman, have advertised the
event on posters in the commu-
nity and in the Elliot Park news-
letter.
We defnitely want it to be
bigger than it has been in past
years, said Thomas. I think
one way that would change is
defnitely if we had more North
Central people show up.
Students can volunteer on the
night of the event by showing
up in a costume and assisting
with one of the various activi-
ties. Yet, Thomas points out that
the most impactful way students
can help is by simply interacting
with the children and parents
who attend.
We want people just to be
there talking with people in the
community, said Thomas. Its
a really good opportunity to get
to know the people around us.
According to Mindeman,
there are two other key ways in
which students can get involved
with the event.
First, students can participate
in the candy drive. The party
needs hundreds of bags of can-
dy, and Elliot Park United relies
on the North Central community
to donate all of the candy.
Boxes for collection have
been placed on each residence
foor, in addition to the commut-
er lounges, apartment buildings,
and staff and faculty offces. Ev-
ery few days, the bags of candy
will be collected and weighed
by Thomas and Mindeman. The
community that collects the
most candy will be given $40 to
add to their budget.
Another role that students can
take is to pray for the event.
[Pray that] there would be
powerful interactions between
students and kids, and that
they would feel the love of
Christ through the students in
this place thats safe and full of
love, said Mindeman.
Elliot Park United encourag-
es students to participate in the
Community Fall Party in the
most plausible way they can.
Thomas and Mindeman agree
that the event cannot function
effectively without candy, vol-
unteers and prayer.
Its such a tangible way we
can bless the community, and it
opens up adults and kids eyes
to who we are as a college, said
Mindeman.
Sign-up sheets will be avail-
able during the lunch hour in
the deli over the next few weeks
for students wishing to volun-
teer.
Elliot Park United co-director Rebecca Thomas, IMPACT director Jacob Nadelin and El-
liot Park United co-director Kari Mindeman hold boxes they made for candy donations.
Boxes have been placed on each resident foor and other places around campus.
Fifty-two percent of the current administration and staf
are North Central alumni. 48 percent have not received
degrees from North Central, according to director of hu-
man resources David Harrison.

NORTH CENTRAL UNIVERSITYS
STUDENT NEWSPAPER SINCE 1960
910 ELLIOT AVE, MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55404

Corrections from previous issue:

Vikings stadium
construction 17
percent complete
stadium began.
This is the frst project to
really have those high expecta-
tions and goals for a construc-
tion project, said Hathaway.
Its a pretty big focus to
make sure we are including
women and minorities on the
job site, especially with state
funding.
A pedestrian bridge is also
in the works, connecting the
Downtown East light rail sta-
tion with the stadium entrance,
potentially alleviating a lot of
the traffc from people trying to
cross Chicago Avenue.
Especially with the Super
Bowl coming in 2018, we are
working with the Metro Transit
now to fgure out ways to allevi-
ate a lot of the (traffc) conges-
tion, said Hathaway.
To ensure the stadium is fn-
ished by July 2016, Mortenson
Construction, the frm placed in
charge of bringing the stadium
to completion, is using 4D-mod-
eling software, enabling them to
build the stadium virtually so
they can confrm the sequence
of each construction step.
There are like 40,000 con-
struction events that have to
happen, said Hathaway. Were
really trusting them, but they are
on time and on budget, so were
good.
Minnesota taxpayers are ex-
pected to contribute $477 mil-
lion for the stadium almost
half of the billion-dollar proj-
ect. The Vikings added anoth-
er $49 million to their share of
the budget last August, citing
the need for more player ame-
nities that were not previously
in the budget. This increase in
funding caused criticism by the
National Audubon Society, who
petitioned for the glass-like roof
and west wall to be made with
bird-safe glass, costing an extra
$1.1 million.
The Audubon Society
claimed the nearly 200,000
square feet of glass-like mate-
rial used for the roof and west
wall would confict with bird
migratory patterns and possibly
cause the death of thousands of
birds fying along the Mississip-
pi River corridor each year.
More than 73,000 people
have signed a petition asking the
Vikings and the MSFAto do the
right thing here, said Matthew
Anderson, Audubon Minnesota
Executive Director, in a press
release by the Audubon Society.
Theyve got the money ap-
parently. They just refuse to do
whats right.
Building design guidelines
enacted by the Minnesota De-
partment of Commerce in May
2013 included regulations to
help with bird safety. The Vi-
kings Stadium design, however,
was completed before the new
guidelines were imposed, waiv-
ing their application to the con-
struction of the new stadium.
We have met with the Na-
tional Bird Society and with the
Minnesota Audubon Society
and asked, Besides the glass
what can we do? said Hatha-
way. We thought the glass was
not the best way to address bird
safety, but instead to address it
through lighting design and op-
erations.
As a result, most of the lights
that would have pointed up-
wards in the stadium will point
downwards, and all of the sta-
dium lights will be shut off at
night, especially from two to
fve a.m. when the birds are
most active, Hathaway said.
Despite the controversy, the
MSFA is moving forward with
the current stadium design and
construction.
Once the stadium is com-
pleted, the MSFA is planning
to attract more events than just
football. They are hoping to see
amateur and professional sports
like baseball, soccer, basketball
and hockey played in the new
stadium. Concerts and conven-
tions will also be held center
stage in the stadium, which has
up to 72,000 seats.
What we want to do with
the stadium, that we didnt do
with the Metrodome, is market
to a very broad audience, said
Hathaway.
The MSFA won the bid to
hold the 2018 Super Bowl in the
new stadium and is waiting for
a decision, due in November, on
its bid to hold the 2019 NCAA
Final Four.
The stadium isnt just an
NFL stadium, Hathaway said.
Weve worked really hard with
the (Vikings) help to accom-
modate almost any sport in the
stadium.
Like the Metrodome, the sta-
dium will accommodate activi-
ties like running and rollerblad-
ing in the winter by opening the
upper level and main level con-
courses that run the circumfer-
ence of the stadium. Because
the Vikings play in the stadium
they are basically subsidizing
the ability to have this amazing
building that people can come
and use and play in, said Ha-
thaway.
Its a nice partnership and
a nice way for us to build this
stadium together with private
funds and public funds, she
said. Were using tax dollars to
bring the community an amenity
they wouldnt already have.
Soccer feld to
open in Spring 2015
Construction in Elliot Park advances
On Sept. 17, the ground-
breaking ceremony commenced
for the full-size soccer feld in
Elliot Park, and since then the
park has morphed in appear-
ance. Offcial construction be-
gan on Sept. 26. The skate park
and tennis courts in Elliot Park
are no longer there, resulting in
various piles of rubble, concrete
and rebar in the construction
zone.
The soccer feld is set for
completion in spring 2015. The
core of the construction work,
including the tree removal and
the leveling of the feld, ought
to be completed by the end of
the fall according to head mens
soccer coach, Jake Smith.
The due date is much further
in the future than originally
thought last spring, and that is
due to the effects of cooler tem-
peratures. The glue used for the
turf feld requires that air tem-
peratures stay above 40 degrees
during construction. According
to Coach Smith, if the weath-
er stays warm enough this fall,
there is a possibility the feld
could be completed as early as
the beginning of November.
According to the Minneapo-
lis Park and Recreation Board
website, the skate park in Elliot
Park is also set to re-open along
with the soccer feld in spring
of 2015. However, there will no
longer be tennis courts in Elliot
Park.

Elliot Park
United
When various communities collide with one another
48 percent of staf
have degrees from
other instituitions
Lying within the heart of Min-
neapolis, community surrounds
North Central and with that
comes countless opportunities
to reach out to the neighbors
of Elliot Park. IMPACTs for-
mer Elliot Park Ministries was
rebirthed, giving way to Elliot
Park United due to the belief
that it is essential for North Cen-
tral students and faculty to build
friendships with those living just
beyond the schools facilities.
Elliot Park United is a way
to build consistent friendships,
said co-director of Elliot Park
United and junior social work
major Rebecca Thomas. Its a
ministry based on socializing.
While the group hopes to cre-
ate better community between
North Central and the Elliot
Park neighborhood, they want
to stand with the community
members rather than lead them.
Thomas recalls how Elliot Park
Ministries formed new ideas,
but with Elliot Park United, she
hopes to come alongside of local
people by using readily avail-
able community resources.
Different committees are
out there with community board
members like Hennepin County
Medical Caenter, Augustana,
representatives from the Vikings
and representatives just from
the community in general, said
Thomas. They all meet and talk
about different things that can
beneft the community.
Thomas says she hopes to get
more involved in those commit-
tees to be a voice in the commu-
nity. For the group, being a part
of decision-making and know-
ing current events or activities is
of defnite importance.
[We hope to achieve] an in-
tegration of students with the
community, said co-director
of Elliot Park United and soph-
omore business administration
major Kari Mindeman. [We
want] more interaction there,
were really hoping to grow,
said Mindeman.
Though the group aims for
community involvement in their
events, they want North Central
students to invest as well.
Were so engrossed in the
NCU bubble, said Thomas.
But its so rewarding to move
past that. Youre in this school
for a reason, youre in this lo-
cation for a reason because
God wants you here, so why
wouldnt we use that?
Students can get involved
by looking for posters that an-
nounce upcoming events such
as Halloween Outreach. Inter-
ested students can also get in
contact with Thomas or Minde-
man via text or Facebook.
It just makes sense that we
be a community and that we be
more than just our North Cen-
tral community and the Elliot
Park community, said Thomas.
We need to come together and
be United.
whether thats kids or people at
Augustana or just whoever.
Thomas hopes to achieve
consistent integration of North
Central students and community
members. Her goal is to see this
interaction become a normal oc-
currence, where people do not
view it as out of the ordinary.
[I look forward to] people
being able to have relationships
with people in the community
here, said Mindeman.
Elliot Park United has already
hosted two game days at Elliot
Park Community Center. They
built connections with local
children by providing snacks
and board games.
Additionally, the group is al-
ready envisioning huge plans
for the new soccer feld. Be-
tween soccer clinics, recess
games, local soccer tournaments
and outdoor concerts, the orga-
nization will do all that it can to
attract community members.
Were starting small, and
I loved the idea of working
in a loving, Christian environ-
ment where people are genuine-
ly kind, said Lewin. I also like
working in higher education and
learning the inner workings of a
university.
Working as an Admis-
sions counselor for PSEO and
non-traditional students, Ch-
anyce Heindel graduated from
the University of Minnesota in
May 2014 and began working at
North Central in August 2014.
During school, Heindel was a
student worker at the UM in the
advising department for art and
social science.
Not everyone is a believer
in that context, and I think I was
the only believer in my offce,
said Heindel. It is really great
that meetings here will start off
with prayer. It is also great to
see here that people have more
respect for each other, and their
standard of work ethic is more
emphasized.
According to Heindel, if she
had attended North Central for
her undergraduate degree, her
current position would differ
mainly by already knowing the
culture at North Central.
Heindel earned her under-
graduate degree in art and com-
munication and has already
seen that both of those areas
are benefcial to her position
on campus. Her focus in com-
munication was interpersonal,
and according to Heindel, that
will play into her position as an
admissions counselor working
with potential students.
The art major surprisingly
does come into play a lot, said
Heindel. This is a new role that
was recently created, so that
means there will be a lot of pi-
oneering and creating new pro-
cesses. So, a lot of the creativity
part will come from that, which
is good.
Lewin graduated in May
2012 with a degree in music and
was hired as an administrative
assistant here on campus in Au-
gust 2012.
Studying music in college
helped me learn great focus and
concentration skills, as well as
the art of self-pacing and self-
study, said Lewin. My posi-
tion here involves many projects
and the need for self-direction.
Both Lewin and Heindel stat-
ed that their experiences at other
colleges were helpful in prepar-
ing them for their respective po-
sitions here.

Musical accents
emotion in Anne
Franks Diary
Fall musical based on the diary of Anne Frank set to
premiere in November
BY EDDIE CHISHAM
The North Central Theatre
Department is putting on a pro-
duction of Yours, Anne, a
musical with set entirely in the
Annex where Anne Frank lived
from when she was 13 to when
she was nearly 16 years old. The
libretto is by Enid Flutterman
with music by Michael Cohen.
The writers of this musical inter-
pretation of Anne Franks diary
took the music to Otto Frank,
Annes father, before he died.
Althought hesitant at frst, Frank
eventually approved the idea of
a musical production after hear-
ing the music.

major, Cameron Cornell (Mr.
van Daan). The music brings
the emotions that, I think, mere
dialogue cant capture There
was a lot of hope and not in the
sense of false hope that would
get dashed later on, but hope
that sustains and allows you to
keep living on in unlivable cir-
cumstances.
Junior theatre major Joseph
McLaughlin (Peter van Daan)
says Anne Franks story needs
to be told. He says the play is
one is very emotionally charged.
Its emotionally exhausting
because it is so deep, said se-
nior theatre major Hannah Jack-
son (Mrs. van Daan).
Along with an emotional
vibe comes a stunning realiza-
tion that real people had to go
through the horrors of the Ho-
locaust. Freshman music ma-
jor Zoe Zafropoulos (Margo
Frank) says that experiencing
what they experienced is hard
to comprehend. Similarly, soph-
omore math major Tony Elder
(Otto Frank) says seeing the
play acted out is more powerful
than just reading the diary.
The whole cast is expend-
ing a lot emotionally into the
piece, said fne arts professor
and director of the production,
Wayne Matthews. Even though
it is emotional, it is wonderful.
Matthews feels that the cast
works well. He says junior the-
atre major Anna Baker has a
challenge on her hands because
she is a college student portray-
ing a 13-year-old Anne Frank.
The character of Anne is
amazing, said Matthews. We
think about it being a negative
situation where nobody smiles,
but it isnt like that at all.

New diner opens on Nicollet
Avenue
Eatery ofers delicious American food in distinctive neighborhood

Who doesnt enjoy indulg-
ing in a hearty American meal
every once in awhile? Whether
that is a wholesome breakfast or
a juicy burger paired with salt-
ed fries and a milkshake, not a
lot of people can say that that
doesnt sound mouthwatering.
Luckily the Nicollet Diner
is located eight minutes from
North Central that has all of that
and more. Located off of Nicol-
let and W 15
th
St. is a new and
upcoming diner ready to serve
to your taste buds needs.
Sam Turner and Dion Coker
opened Nicollet diner this fall.
They decided that breakfast,
burgers, fries, and shakes would
be the ideal concept, and that it
ft best for the area that they are
located in. The goal with this
concept was to be able to be
approachable in their neighbor-
hood.
They are tucked between
the Minneapolis Uptown and
Downtown neighborhoods, in
the area referred to as Loring
Park or Eat Street. Their loca-
tion is one of the most visible
storefronts in the area.
Immediately after walking
through the doors I sensed the
warm and inviting atmosphere.
After walking into the brightly
lit diner and taking my seat in
one of the many blue booths, it
was close to impossible not to
watch all the hustle and bustle
outside my window. There was
constant movement of people
getting on and off the bus, or
people walking quickly to wher-
ever they needed to go.
I felt as if I was experiencing
something new. Although we
live downtown where there is
non-stop action, in this part of
town there was uniqueness to it.
I did not think that the location
would really have an impact
on my experience, but it did. It
made me appreciate where we
are located even more.
Our waiter was very pleasant
and helpful to our wants and
questions that we had. They
have an extensive menu that
made it hard to choose what I
wanted to stuff my face with.
My friend and I started off with
frickles, which are fried pickles.
I had never had them before but
I know I will defnitely have
them again. Along with that we
wanted something sweet but
it was so hard to choose with
all the malt and shake options
that they have. We both ended
up settling on root beer foats,
which was a great decision. We
also learned that they do not car-
ry Coke or Pepsi products, but
their fountain drinks are from
the locally owned and operated
company MinneSoda, which
makes them even more unique.
Between all the breakfast op-
tions and burger options, I set-
tled on a burger that was much
better then my expectations. All
of their burgers are hand patted,
never frozen and are made just
before being cooked. You could
taste the freshness and favors
with each bite. They make ev-
erything from scratch when it is
realistic to do so, making it more
authentic and something that
you cannot fnd anywhere else.
I will defnitely be making a
trip back over there to try one
of those delicious-looking malts
and bring more friends with me
to experience the other side of
town.

Thrifty boutique ofers
selections from local stylists
Resale outlet caters to college students on a budget
BY STEPHANIE XIONG
B. Resale is a buy-outright
and used clothing store that is
located on Eat Street, next door
to Glam Doll Donuts. The bou-
tique opened its doors on June
2010. The signifcance of the
letter B is the frst initial of
owner Allison Bross-Whites
last name along with a mix of
hip-hop culture; the letter B is
a slang term that is commonly
used to greet ones friends.
The main targets are men and
women ages 18-35 who.look for
trendy, current styles. The selec-
tions for the store include urban
street wear with pieces from Ur-
ban Outftters, Anthropologie,
American Apparel, and H&M.
I have also seen a few high
end pieces from places such as
Doc Martes, Zara, BCBG, and
Sperry. The price range usually
averages around $8-$20. Min-
nesota is the only location for B.
Resale, which makes it a great
unique local place to shop.
From what I have seen inside
B. Resale, they carry many sizes
for all of the pieces that they of-
fer. Although it is street wear, I
did fnd a few vintage items.
If you re into vintage cloth-
ing or looking for an exclusive
fnd then B. Resale is the place
to check out.
Personally, I have purchased
eight items for a total cost of
$30 or less. B. Resale also has
an Instagram that will let you
hold items they post up for at
least two days. This is conve-
nient because you know that no
one else will be wearing what
have but that can also be an
inconvenience because if you
missed out on an item you will
not be able to purchase it.
B. Resale sells local jewelry
brands and local designer items
which are priced at the higher
end. The most expensive items
are the local designers cloth-
ing. One of the local designers
I have seen inside the store is
Seams Vintage, which were
priced above $30 but have great
quality and style. Their shoe se-
lection goes from 5.5-11 or even
12 with low prices. As for the
jewelry, I have seen the price
ranging around $18-$25. Local
jewelry artists have an interest-
ing and quirky style while still
being edgy.
As for mens clothing, they
have a wide range of selection
from tee shirts to stylish button
ups and even winter gear. Their
shoe selection usually runs on
the bigger sizes. B. Resale has
two racks full of men jeans,
shorts, and trousers.
Interestingly, B. Resale has
permanent markers for people to
tag, design, draw, or leave mes-
sages inside their ftting room
stalls. Even though B. Resale
is already selling items at a low
rate, they also have a clearance
rack that averaged around $1-
$5 max. If I had to compare B.
Resale to a store, I would relate
it to Buffalo Exchange but with
lower price tags.
At the end of this month, B.
Resale will be hosting a vin-
tage capsule collection at their
store. On November 8th they
will be have a trunk show and
on Thanksgiving week they will
have a Black Friday sale. These
are a few dates to get more per-
centage off already low prices!
The hours for B. Resale are
Sunday through Monday at
11am-7pm. If you are a thrifter,
enjoy good clothes for cheap, or
are into edgy jewelry then def-
nitely drop by B. Resale! You
can fnd them on 2613 Nicollet
Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408.

Negligence in global awareness
Students share their ignorance on the Islamic State crisis and need for dialogue on campus
adam kordell freshman psychology
I have not been keeping up with it like at all. But I think
the reason they are not making a bigger deal about it is that
they dont want to scare people even though stuf is happen-
ing. I think what we could be doing at the school is just ed-
ucate people about whats going on rather than scare them.
morgan choitz sophomore social work
We are just not informed about it, and we dont know much
about whats going in the world here at North Central. Either
because its not really talked about it a lot, and people dont read
the news. I think we are just misinformed about it. Somebody
somewhere should address this so we know to care about it.
hannah volmuth sophomore youth ministry
Tey are telling everyone they have to denounce
Christianity. I think it should efect us in a big
way, its our country. It is easy to get caught up
in the busyness of school and then not pay atten-
tion. Tis is a big deal. We should know
stephanie daniels sophomore
worship leading
I havent heard awhole lot; there
is persecution, and I dont know
the extent. Tats all I know, I do
not know why they are doing it.
alex rose senior pastoral studies
Stand in faith and allow this to keep happening
or do we take a stand and do something about
this? I didnt even know the extent of this. Im
kinda out of the loop. My views have been largely
that of a Christian less so that of an American.
BY CALAH DELAURENTIS
Originally, I set out on an
adventure for knowledge of
fellow students take on a ma-
jor global issue; I performed a
series of interviews that left me
realizing how little our school
has to say on the Islamic State.
Our student body awakes each
day oceans away from any war
zones, and we are too calloused
to know what to sympathize for.
Our schools callouses to-
ward global affairs are not
formed out of hatred and malice
to the outside world, but formed
out of luxury.
American youth are too priv-
ileged to notice that, according
to the Associated Press, the US
has invested in the Islamic State
(IS) crisis as much as $1.1 bil-
lion on military operations .
The majority of us are bliss-
fully unaware that, as the
Agence France-Presse (AFP)
cites, of 2000 people murdered
and 2500 people injured in
June in Iraq, 70 percent were
civilians. I have to wonder if it
would even stir us to read from
CNN that in Mosul, one of the
oldest Christian towns located
in Nothern Iraq, IS has sys-
tematically expelled all Chris-
tians, executed civilians and
destroyed numerous relics and
historical artifacts.
Some students were aware
of the recent beheadings that
have been broadcasted, but
what about our awareness of the
40,000 civilians that were exiled
to a mountain top with no sup-
plies, left to starve and die until
Kurdish rebels were able to res-
cue surviving victims?
Numerous interviewed stu-
dents sentiment was that they
had no statement, they had no
idea what was going on. Most
students refused to make a
statement because of their lack
of knowledge. Not one student
claimed to having paid any at-
tention to the IS despite the
massive amounts of media cov-
ering the events.
Everyone who participated
agreed that our school should be
talking about this, often citing
the lack of community dialogue
around the confict as a major
factor in their ignorance. Sev-
eral students stated that the only
class that mentioned this was
Global Perspectives, but this is
history in the making, and there
are many other contexts on cam-
pus in which this could be ref-
erenced and discussed. Do we
wait till our kids are studying
about it in history books before
we learn the events unfurling?
Or do we seize history and make
a statement?
We should seize the oppor-
tunity to be a part of the future
as its shaping, and to exert pos-
itive infuence however we are
able!
If any one thing was consis-
tent in the interviews, it is that
we have a desire to understand
and we need to have a burden
on our conscious that causes us
to be a well-informed force. Our
current lack of interest does not
mean we are incapable of being
a part of this.
We should be proactive,
not reactive; we cant wait for
a news story to become viral
to care about it. Start an ice
bucket challenge for Turk-
ish displaced peoples (there
are estimates of 3 million dis-
placed peoples in Turkey and
surrounding countries right
now); mourn for the death that
is happening currently; worry
about our nations fnancing.
Pursue understanding on what is
a world-shaping issue and ulti-
mately engage our student body
in the world around us.
Time to grow up
North Centrals parental control over students will be harmful in the long run
BY EDDIE CHISHAM
Every so often, I run into
problems at North Central that
make me wonder if I am an
adult or a child. An adult is ca-
pable of making his or her own
decisions, while a child needs to
be controlled and watched over
while doing basic tasks.
Why do parents and guard-
ians watch their children so
closely?
Well, because they do not
trust their children to make
healthy decisions. In fact, there
is a constant concern that the
children will do something to
hurt themselves. So why should
I, a 20 year old adult, feel like
the administration (or should I
say Mom and Dad?) is constant-
ly in an effort to keep me from
hurting myself?
This apparently parental over-
sight can be seen in school pol-
icies. Chapel attendance, open
dorms, the R-rated movie poli-
cy, curfew and internet frewalls
are just some of the examples of
North Centrals trust issues with
students. Not only are we adults,
but we are Christian adults.
Rather than encouraging a
campus of developing students
to build each other up in the
faith through experiential spir-
itual life, there are rules that
uniformly enforce Christian be-
havior.
This kind of treatment to-
wards spiritual development is
not conducive to personal Chris-
tian revelation or discovery. In-
stead it facilitates attitudes of
impersonal and homogenized
moral obligation. Students at-
tending North Central are mak-
ing a conscious decision to go to
a Christian college.
When we applied, we wrote
a letter as a statement of faith.
These letters are all reviewed
and considered an important
part of the application process.
In theory, the Christians that are
accepted into this school live
Christian lifestyles.
In all honesty, I can say that
North Central is the most Chris-
tian environment I have ever
been in. I attribute the positive
spiritual atmosphere to great
leadership and administration,
and a student body that is tru-
ly committed to serving God.
North Central is a great place to
grow as a Christian, because of
the encouragement and support
from the student body.
North Centrals prime loca-
tion in downtown Minneapolis,
allows us to offer an abundance
of opportunities for personal,
mental, emotional, physical
and spiritual health, involving
healthcare, eateries, arts and
ministry.
We should be growing, but
instead we are steadily losing
students every year. Perhaps
this is a result of the policies at
North Central. The closed hous-
ing in Zimmerman House and
Mensing Hall is just the frst
sign of a shrinking student body.
If North Central truly be-
lieves the student body needs
the current rules and policies,
what is expected to happen after
we graduate? If the mentality of
North Central is that we cannot
live Christian lifestyles without
a steady hand guiding (or forc-
ing) us into the right direction,
wont we immediately start liv-
ing lives of sin upon graduation?
Does North Central adminis-
tration believe that without its
strict policies, students will live
sinful lifestyles?
If that is the assumption or
precaution, it seems to com-
municate that North Centrals
student body perpetuates a su-
perfcial brand of Christianity. If
North Central believes that the
rules are not a necessity for liv-
ing a Christian lifestyle, why are
they in place? When we leave
home, we are expecting to enter
into an environment where we
can independently make deci-
sions.
Having the freedom to choose
to live a good, Christian life will
ultimately strengthen our walk
with God. However, when we
come to North Central, it seems
as if we encounter more rules
than we had at home. This will
not prepare us for the real world
when we leave college.
The real world has very few
rules or limitations on how one
should make moral decisions. I
strongly believe that North Cen-
tral should give students more
freedom while they are in this
Christian environment, so we
can work to solidify our faith by
making the right decisions with
the help of fellow Christian sup-
port and accountability.
When we graduate, our frst
freedoms will be in a world that
glorifes and encourages a life of
sin. Will we be ready?
I understand that the policies
are for the minority of students,
not the majority, but the princi-
ple of the policies is based on a
lack of trust. Even with dramatic
policy changes, a non-Christian
would not likely be interested in
coming to North Central.
While the students and the
environment promote Christian
growth, they do not provide a
desirable atmosphere for an in-
dividual who wants a lifestyle
of sin.
I have faith in the self-control
of our student body to continue
pursuing a Christian lifestyle
despite a policy change. Does
our administration share the
same assurance in our Christian
walks?
This is not a place where sin-
ful lifestyles run rampant, and
there are already students chos-
ing deliberately to live outside
of the faith. Rules do not change
hearts effectively. It is disciple-
ship, encouragement, trust, and
accountability from other stu-
dents and leadership that are es-
sential for equipping graduating
classes with the tools they need
for productive ministry in a fall-
en world.

With nationals approaching,
the North Central mens soccer
team has formidable hope on the
horizon of their progressive and
exploratory season. Inherent in
this team is a spirit of youthful
and experimental exuberance.
Among the promising new play-
ers are the identifable talents of
junior forward, David Afolabi,
and freshman defender, Nick
Walker.
Afolabi grew up in Amster-
dam and is a transfer student
from Itasca Community Col-
lege. He was the captain of his
high school squad his senior
year. Afolabi recalls that it was
during his high school years that
he realized soccer was his num-
ber one sport because he really
began developing and progress-
ing as a player.
Nick Walker graduated from
Owen Valley High School in
Spencer, Ind., where he played
soccer for all four years of high
school. He also played for a
couple of summer teams before
coming to North Central. So
far this Rams season, Walker
has found a consistent spot in
defense, at either center back
or outside back, the former be-
ing his primary position in high
school.
In contrast, this season Afola-
bi has played forward, which is
at the opposite end of the pitch
from where he played primarily
as sweeper during high school.
However, Afolabi says he is
somewhat of a utility player be-
cause he has previous playing
experience at outside and inside
midfeld as well.
Both Afolabi and Walker ad-
mit to the learning experience
theyve undergone, and contin-
ue to undergo, as it relates to
team chemistry, especially with
those positioned around them.
Afolabi identifes his im-
proved teamwork and instinc-
tual understanding with specif-
cally, sophomore striker Steven
Klapak, sophomore midfeld-
er Ryan Windauer, freshman
midfelder Jake Loukinen, and
freshman forward Ian Brekhus.
Afolabi highlights Windau-
ers ability to play him the ball
where it needs it to be played, at
the correct moment it needs to
be played.
Walker typically plays in
a fat back four defense with
the following three defenders:
sophomore Joe Kornbaum,
sophomore captain, Lukas Ma-
jerle, and sophomore defender/
backup keeper Evan Hartwig.
He says the chemistry was ini-
tially shaky. But he also feels
that a lot of [them] are starting
to click.
What has been most challeng-
ing for Walker individually has
been the pace of the game. But
according to Walker, the whole
team should work at controlling
the pace of the game. He advo-
cates for quicker passing and
better communication, which
just might aid in greater control
of the tempo, something he feels
they cannot afford to surrender.
As Walker explains: A
lot of times we go up against
teams that control the pace of
the game, the whole game. But
that just comes with experience
I think.
Additionally, Walker says
he has had to get used to the
size and athleticism of college
players, as opposed to his high
school opponents who were no-
tably inferior in these areas.
Collectively speaking, Walk-
er believes the team can im-
prove in communication as well.
A lot of the goals that have
been scored on us could have
been avoided by just talking,
says Walker. Walker also es-
teems the capitalization of
chances, something that could
have drastically altered the
teams past outcomes.
Afolabi does not cite the pace
of the game as being challenging
for him, instead he contends that
defenders are recognizing his
pace with and control over the
ball. He feels this has resulted
in defenses marking him tight-
er, so he is still trying to fgure
out how he can fnd space away
from defenders, to create attack-
ing chances and shots on goal.
But a better understanding of his
teammates thought processes
and playing stylessomething
he admits to struggling with,
might provide a great deal of
help in providing a solution.
Another area that Afolabi
feels the team can improve upon
is mental toughness and rigidity.
We dont respond well when
we get scored on... We got to
play our best until the game
is over, he says. However, if
the Rams can muster suffcient
mental strength till the end of
the game, the by-product could
be very positive, as Afolabi
compliments their ability to
start games with intensity, pur-
pose and attacking prowess.
In many cases, with such a
young team, questions about
adequate leadership might come
into play, but from the perspec-
tive of Afolabi and Walker, the
sophomore captains, Lukas
Majerle and defender/midfeld-
er Tyler Maag, have done their
best to pave the way in charac-
ter and skill. Afolabi appreciates
Majerle for his strong and phys-
ical play on the ball, and Maags
soccer intelligence.
As Afolabi puts it, Tyler
knows a lot about the game. Or
as Walker states, Theyre just
awesome guys. He continues
by saying, Theyre both men
of God. Thats one thing I really
admire about them. If you have
a problem with soccer or outside
of soccer, you can go to them.
As Afolabi and Walker said,
some vital components have yet
to be added to the teams reper-
toire. Yet there is evidence of
the North Central mens soccer
team possessing foundational
leadership, technical skills and
in-game intelligence, which are
visible on the pitch with perfor-
mance, and off the pitch in the
teams community.

Golfer
shares
future goals
Junior Tera Weyer shares golf dreams
BY MATT MARCINIEC
could perform at. Its through
this process that she learned to
play to glorify God, and not to
play to receive awards.
Weyer still has one goal left
in mind, and that is to compete
nationally. In previous years,
the NCCAA (National Christian
College Athletic Association)
had individuals submit average
scores in order to qualify.
This year, the conference has
regional tournaments in which
teams compete in their region
to qualify for nationals. Since
North Central did not have a full
team this year, the university
was not able to compete in re-
gional tournaments.
Now, Weyer will have the
opportunity to qualify as an at-
large candidate at the national
tournament, where she can com-
pete with other individuals who
won their regions. She came up
short in qualifying for nationals
this season but will have another
go at it next year.
New season, new opportuni-
ties, Weyer explained.




The North Central womens
golf team ended their season on
a high note at the Mid-County
Bank Classic in September, with
junior Tera Weyer taking frst
place and posting the second
lowest score of her college ca-
reer. Weyer fnishes her season
with her fourth top-ten fnish of
the year.
She credits her individual
success to her nine years of
golfng experience and practice.
Golf is all about learning how
to hit bad shots well, according
to Weyer.
Weyer also stated that she
would like to see more women
give golf a try and come out
for the team, but she warns that
carrying heavy bags is involved.
She hopes to be the trailblazer
in womans golf here at North
Central; a program that is still in
the developmental stages.
As a Christian, faith plays
out on the golf course for Wey-
er. Last season, she played in-
jured which hindered her from
playing at a level she knew she
