OUR OPINION: GF, UND make complicated events look easy 
Grand Forks is a college town, and recent events here show an enlightened attitude toward higher ed and its many different roles. Those roles have pop-culture as well as high-culture elements — and successful college communities such as Grand Forks do a good job of handling both.

OUR OPINION: Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Great Race
How do we build a good and prosperous society? That’s a question for the ages. But a fascinating, large-scale experiment now underway should provide a few answers. Best of all, the experiment is happening in real time — and right down the street.

OUR OPINION: UND Law School’s renovation needs approval
The North Dakota House’s higher-education funding bill both authorizes too little money for infrastructure projects and mandates too many delays in spending it. Those are two good reasons why a conference committee should lean toward the Senate’s much stronger bill.

Barry Beloff, Minneapolis, Minn., letter: Choice wellness center stands out nationwide
I recently made it back to Grand Forks for a visit. One has to come back to Grand Forks to really appreciate all the wonderful things going on in the city. I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Choice Health and Fitness facility. All I can say is, wow!

SHAR KNUTSON: Minimum wage hike helps workers, economy
All Minnesotans can agree that a fair day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of hard-working Minnesotans, earning at or near the $7.25 per hour minimum wage, do not make enough to support themselves or their families.

Donald Bruce Beard, Banning, Calif., letter: N.D. writes Mourdock, Akin’s theories into law

Karl Jacobson, Bemidji, Minn., letters: Reject Bemidji’s Hospitality Tax proposal

Peter Boyum, Stillwater, Minn., letter: Erdrich should object to ‘Dakota’ name
In 2007, Louise Erdrich refused an honorary degree from UND because of the use of an American Indian nickname and logo. Doesn’t it follow that she would refuse the Roughrider award given by a state named after that same American Indian group?

OUR OPINION: Reject amendments that would hammer higher-ed funding
N.D. House members should turn back a subcommittee’s recommendations.

OUR OPINION: Like Alaska, put part of oil-tax fund in stocks
North Dakota may have topped Alaska in oil production, but North Dakota’s oil tax “Legacy Fund” has a long way to go before it catches up with its Alaskan sibling.

OUR OPINION: In N.D. as elsewhere, zealotry makes bad law
In recent weeks, the North Dakota Legislature has seen too much lawmaking for a cause and not enough lawmaking for the state. Case in point: The so-called “Grande amendment” to Senate Bill 2368, mercifully stripped out of the bill Tuesday by a conference committee.
