Sounds like they're getting the 1-coat paint this time.

What could you do with $35 million? Maybe leds and pa is all you can do.

I wouldn't do anything structural. We need $335 million to do the structural work needed.

35 mil should cover 1 New metal detectors, 2. New carpet to roll out on the field to honor the 67 people we do every game 3. New canvas for the mobile homes parked in the south end zone.

Interesting quote from that article: "The number of students who completed 24 hours of coursework in one year also increased, from 76.1 percent to 78.5 percent, over the past five years."

In the late 60s, I typically took 18-19 hours in one semester, and did 21 one semester, and 18-19 was normal in a 144 hour engineering curriculum, by the catalogue. 24 doesn't seem like a huge accomplishment in a year, especially if 25% don't do it.

Same here, RD. Back then 18 hrs per semester was a "normal" load.

This staff has absolutely no awareness at all. Snap the ball. This is Moorhead. It is a Mather of when not if

Did the pre-engineering at Jones back in the mid 80's and it was the same. 18, 18, 19 and 18 at Jones. It was actually more hours than that because they didn't fully count our lab ours in physics. Mine was probably broken up differently than yours though. We had 3 5-hour calculus courses and 2 6-hour physics courses.

Should have gone to NIL. Recruits and transfers aren't worried about what facilities look like any more.

Not to mention the labs that carried no credit at all, but required 6 or so hours per week.

Trying to remember - but I think freshman calculus was 3 hours, then two 5-hour courses (one was at 7 a.m., every day of the week), then differential equations, and something called Advanced Mathematics for Engineering. Physics was two 3-hour courses, freshman year, but also carried labs along with 2 3-hour chemistry courses along with non-credit labs - under Sheely! A few people might remember Sheely - great teacher, but eliminated 75% of the engineering majors the first year (50% first semester, then 50% of what was left the second semester). They threw in a 1-hour ROTC course for 4 semesters, and two 3-hour English Comp courses to make things easier. ;) And some sort of lit course the sophomore year.

IHL would probably frown on funneling bond money to players
