The weekend arrives with the Farmer Market running Saturday downtown and a homecoming dance Saturday evening at Central High School. There’s UND volleyball continuing today at the Betty with the new coach, Jeremiah Tiffin, leading the Hawks into their season at home.
And on the UND campus there’s a calm before the homecoming events the first weekend of October.
Unless the skies start dripping rain, the annual Malpractice Bowl will begin at 4:30 p.m. today in Memorial Stadium. Last year was the first time the women students from the medical school won the trophy. The medical men lost last year to the lawyers of the future in the annual flag football game.
Sarah Pippin will be out again playing with the med school women. She says the game is not terribly physical.
“Still,” she said, “it gets to be pretty competitive.”

The U.S. Postal Service is reaching out with job offers. Recruiters will be on hand at the Job Fair in the Alerus on Oct. 10.
