A ribbon cutting was held at Minot State University Friday to celebrate the name change of Minot State University-Bottineau to Dakota College at Bottineau.
Ken Grosz, exectuive dean at the two-year college in Bottineau, said the ribbon cutting was held in Minot because he wanted to emphasize that the college still maintains its connection to Minot State. The college has an office in the Administration Building at MSU and career and technical programming is offered on the Minot campus.

Catch ‘The Prisoner’Wed, November 18, 2009 @ 6:39PM AMC creates a satisfying reimagination of the original In “The Prisoner,” an enigmatic all-powerful and capriciously destructive man called No. 2 pursues a lost, confused man called No. 6 through a Village he cannot escape, searching for answers about a life he can’t seem to get back to. That’s true of both the original 17-episode British production from the 1960s, and of the six-episode American Movie Classics miniseries remake. The similarities end right about precisely there, however. In the 1960s version, No. 6 was a government operative who resigned suddenly, and the Village in which he was imprisoned was entirely obsessed with discovering what he was up to. No. 6 quickly realized what was going on and treated every aspect of the Village that imprisoned him with contempt, foiling all his captors’ plans, turning their paranoid surveillance tactics on their ear and generally treating the whole situation as a game.

Good teaching requires more than knowledgeWed, November 18, 2009 @ 6:51PM I come from a family of high school teachers and college professors -- great grandparents, grandparents, parents, several aunts and uncles, now my brother -- and I grew up hearing the shop talk. There were funny stories, sad stories, inspiring stories. One of my great-aunts still had artwork and photos of students going back about 40 years. Since she had no children of her own, I suppose her students became her surrogate children. Back in the day when there was such a thing as a smoking lounge in a high school and adults were less concerned about exposing children to carcinogens, a 6-year-old me sat in a corner inhaling those stories told by my mother and her colleagues like I did the smoke. I knew all about what teachers did. I also knew I didn't want to be a teacher. It takes a certain kind of person to be a good one and I suspected even back then that I didn't have the right kind of temperament to step in front of a classroom.

Clean the fieldThu, October 15, 2009 @ 2:36PM With snow in the area today but better weather on the way, Minot State University should be out cleaning its football field so it might be somewhat dry come Saturday. After all, MSU is built on speed and a mud wrestling match Saturday with Black Hills State doesn't help the Beavers. But it looked like the maintenance staff was just clearing off the lines so they could be painted. I asked one of the assistant coaches if the field was going to be cleared at all today. He rolled his eyes. We joked that the only way it would be done would to get the poor redshirt freshmen out there with shovels. That is unacceptable. This isn't the first time I have heard MSU coaches upset with something not being done. I understand they are busy, we all are, but things like that will have to be improved when MSU moves to Division II. We joke about it all the time in the office, oh that's an NAIA thing, but it is true. The move to Division II is a step up for everybody - everybod.
