NORTH SNOWSHOE, Minn.--Fighting Svenska pride is "busting out all over," stated University of North Snowshoe Student Senate president Erma Nern as she unveiled a new UNS commemorative license plate. The plate, including an exact replica of the famed Nordic mascot, created a beehive of activity around campus as students flocked to the student merchandising facility, located in the student union, to buy the novelty plates.

The plates cost a sum of $100.00 in cash, including a $40 donation to fund student scholarships. The program appears to be a no-brainer for the state, as thousands of parties that graduated from the university have placed orders.

Due to the fact that the state was in a worker shortage situation, plate printing was delayed several months. Nern, an attractive blonde coed who is beginning her second term as senate president, stated that a total of 30 students volunteered to help manufacture ten thousand plates a week, a new record for the facility. "This is a new record for license plate production", she added. The plates will be sold on campus until 9 p.m. in the evening of next Monday.

FISHBAKE, N.D.--Fishbake State College campus was a beehive of activity today after a popular financial institution was robbed. The robber pulled a no-brainer, merely passing a threatening note to the teller. Police said the party escaped from the credit union with a total of $179 and a used car buying guide.

Police officer Iva Badge stated that the robbery was an exact replica of similar recent crimes around town. In each case, the robber pretended to be a customer but, all of a sudden, threatened the clerk. Because in one case he completely destroyed a cigarette machine while fleeing from a restaurant, police have nicknamed the suspect "Cigarette Butt Barney."

The current robbery at the facility, located at 1210 College Drive, in Fishbake, was the same old same old for police. "The man produced a note and a paper sack, and ordered the clerk to 'fill 'er up,'" stated Badge, who is making an investigation of the incident. She said tellers are instructed to accomodate robbers, whether or not they show a weapon.

The man fled the facility on foot. An absent-minded professor said he saw the man rush out, but neglected to call police. He said assumed the robber was only looking for the men's room behind the building. North Dakota is always cold and windswept, so people looking for a restroom must move fast.

Redfield, S.D., High School wrestlers ended a busy week on the mats Saturday, placing third at the Central Invitational Tournament located in Aberdeen, S.D.

Winning teammates Mike Mat and Frank Fall captured first places in there weight classes, defeating Jerry Jab and Tony Tanner of Aberdeen.

"We did some really good wrestling last week," said Coach George Grunt. "We were exilarated by the wins, but disappointed that we did not bring home the first place trophy." After four first-place team finishes, this years win would have been a new record for the team.

Due to the fact that Mat had injured his knee last month, he was unable to wrestle at full strength, Grunt commented. At the present time five teem members are nursing injuries. Grunt adds that the general public doesn't realize how difficult a sport wrestling is. "You really need to be strong, yet small," he said. "Tough boys can hurt each other."

Asked if he thought the sport was too dangerous for many boys, Grunt said, "I do believe boys can wrestle safely. But they need careful training, and they need to be in shape."

Qualified experts on wrestling injuries have noted that referees should stop a dangerously unequal match, but that the wrestlers themselves usually want to continue to avoid being called week. Last year a total of seven high school meets were seriously impacted after matches were allowed to continue.

Still, says Grant, danger to the boys is statistically slim. Yet some critics believe it's worth keeping an eye on this long-smouldering controversy, and the next local opportunity will be at a match to be held at 6:30 p.m. in the evening next Friday, at the Redfield Sports Arena.
