3. UND targets June 20 for reopening of Ray Richards Golf Course

UND's Ray Richards Golf Course will be accepting tee times later this month for the first time in four years. UND announced Thursday, June 11, that the nine-hole course will reopen to the public at 7 a.m. Saturday for disc golf, with a hope of opening the regular golfing course June 20.

North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has ordered Student Loan Services LLC to issue refunds to customers in the state and to stop doing business here.

5. Improvements on Cavlandic Trail near Cavalier, N.D., under way
