What’s going on in North Dakota?
By punch bowl | March 29, 2008
The North Dakota Republican Party Convention is this weekend. College Republicans are expected to attend:
About 35 College Republicans plan to attend the weekend’s activities, said Erik Nygren, the state chairman and a senior at North Dakota State University.
“We’re just here to be a part of the process, part of the party,” he said. “We want our interests to be heard as college students.”
The NDSU College Republicans and other student groups are coordinating a Support the Troops event today, with a goal of sending packages to North Dakota National Guard soldiers overseas.
You may have seen Nygren’s school, NDSU, in the news for a scandal involving an Obama skit:
The March 18 skit involving the NDSU Saddle and Sirloin Club was performed at the Mr. NDSU Pageant, which is sponsored by the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and raises money for diabetes research.
People who attended it said a pageant contestant from Saddle and Sirloin dressed as a woman from the Internet video “I Got a Crush on Obama” and performed a strip tease for another student, who was wearing dark makeup and an afro wig.
In the background, two male students dressed as cowboys simulated anal sex while holding an Obama sign that one student ripped at the conclusion of the 30-second performance, the Forum reported.
And now, 4,500 copies of the NDSU student newspaper have vanished.
The editor of the North Dakota State University student newspaper filed a police report Friday after 4,500 issues disappeared.
The issue of The Spectrum contained a special section that listed salaries of all NDSU employees.
It also included a news story on the controversial Barack Obama skit from the Mr. NDSU Pageant and profiles on student body president candidates.
Editor Stephen Baird said he doesn’t know the newspapers were stolen, but he finds it hard to believe readers would have snagged them all in one night
Hard to believe? Really?
What is hard for me to believe is that I have heard more about North Dakota this morning than I have all year. Apparently, interesting things do happen there.
