  1. This story is tying me in knots. Sooo complex.
  2. Haha. DSU is more like China State University. Sure a lot of Chinese kids here.
  3. UND and other four-year schools must limit tuition increases to 3.5% not 4% as Legislature allows -- unless they get permission from SBHE.
  4. Debate has moved to tuition increases but I missed half of it while interviewing for the nickname story. AAARGG. How do I clone myself?
  5. Wow. UND must have 30-YEAR AGREEMENT ON USE OF NICKNAME by Oct. 1 or the nickname has to go. Talk about impossible conditions!
  6. Oops. That was his recommendation. Real motion says Oct. 1.
  7. Shaft, SBHE board member, motioning to kill nickname by Aug. 1. But if nickname supporters get something before then...
  8. Espegard seems to be siding with His Horse is Thunder's interpretation of nickname process, which seems to be full of legal hurdles.
  9. Duane Espegard, SBHE member, in demanding tone: What info do we have to make a decision now? Tribal nickname folks: We don't have info now.
  10. Jon Jackson, faculty rep to SBHE: Use of nickname is a tumor blocking other university missions. Hmmm. Really?
  11. HHiT: Fighting Sioux = Frito Bandito = Aunt Jemima.
  12. His Horse is Thunder is on a roll, making connection between anti-nickname struggle and civil rights struggle. Hmmm. Really?
  13. His Horse is Thunder talking now. Talking about history of racism in ND. Claims there's law that legalized killing of Indians.
  14. SBHE wants to know timeline of tribal process. Timeline totally fuzzy. Maybe this. Maybe that.
  15. Ooh. His Horse is Thunder just walked in. That's the Standing Rock chairman who hates the nickname.
  16. Spirit Lake nickname supporters to SBHE: honor your commitments as we have.
  17. Spirit Lake nickname supporters at SBHE meeting.
  18. Going to Dicktown to cover nickname. Sounds like no decision will be made.
  19. Kicked off jury pool now at Alerus Center meeting. Conventions subsidizing arena.
  20. going through jury selection. Case might involve guy who hurt cop.
