"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Another Group of
University Students
Wises Up



'The University of North Dakota Student Senate has tabled its discussion on the switch to NCAA Division I athletics.

The Senate passed a resolution on Sunday that says it won’t support an increase in student fees to help pay for the school’s transition to Division I, until it’s known how big the hike will be.

A consultant’s report recommends student fees increase $35 per semester next year and then a total of $72 per semester in succeeding years.

A vote on the move will be delayed until April 29, when UND President Charles Kupchella and Athletic Director Tom Buning are scheduled to address the Senate.'
