Letter: Is Fargodome adequate for future?
I asked recently whether Fargo needs a new stadium for North Dakota State University Bison football. Or, in the alternative, whether a new multipurpose events center to replace the Fargodome needs to be built. Either would potentially give NDSU the flexibility to perhaps one day pursue a move to the premiere NCAA Division I football level of competition.By Clarence F. “Rick” Olson, Fargo , May 18, 2013

Letter: NTSB proposal in unworkable
The National Transportation Safety Board is proposing reducing the legal driving limit from .08 to .05. Here we go again with government’s one-size-fits-all solution: punish everyone equally regardless of severity of the crime.By Bruce Hingst, Fargo , May 18, 2013

As agriculture committees in the House and Senate turn attention to considering and reporting out a five-year farm bill this month, it’s important to consider how many Americans have felt the negative impact of not having a comprehensive bill.By Dale Hall , May 18, 2013

Letter: Media ignore Benghazi story
Benghazi? Anyone? Not a story? Nothing to see here? Nothing to report? Not important that our president and secretary of state lied to cover their narrative that their administration had subdued terrorism around the world?By Judy Gorman, Moorhead , May 18, 2013
Letter: Help the Nokota horses right away
A group of Nokota horse lovers and conservancy supporters in southeast Pennsylvania has been trying to help support the efforts of the Nokota Horse Conservancy since before they were an official 501(c)(3) organization.

Letter: Consider sound in the ‘cathedral’
I hope the designers of the new Vikings “crystal cathedral” realize one of the major problems the actual Crystal Cathedral had – and still has – is with the acoustics. It’s extraordinarily loud!By Phil White, Minnetonka, Minn. , May 18, 2013

Letter: DuBord right on the money regarding MSUM and Ayers 
The column by retired Professor Dick DuBord (May 11) was, in my opinion, right on the money. I, too, hold Professor Steve Grineski in high regard, having taken one of his classes at Minnesota State University Moorhead.
