With the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, World War II came to American territory. On December 12th, the University of North Dakota's student newspaper, the Dakota Student, printed this editorial about the arrival of World War II.
Jim Corcoran's coverage of Gordon Kahl and the right-wing group Posse Comitatus for The Forum evolved into a book, "Bitter Harvest," which stemmed from a deadly shootout between Kahl and U.S. marshals near Medina, North Dakota, in 1983.
In October of 1928, a new student organization emerged at the University of North Dakota. It was announced in UND's student newspaper, the Dakota Student, which reported: “'Tribe of the Sioux' is to be a new rooting organization, composed of 100 men students who will be placed in a reserved section in the first five rows of section E. Memorial Stadium."
This date in 1929 featured perhaps the most important event to ever happen at Memorial Stadium of the University of North Dakota: The UND Flickertails lost to the Haskell Indians, a football team from Lawrence, Kansas, 13-6.
