The North Dakota National Guard has offered 540 free trips to students (ten from each state and territories) to visit our fair state, if only they'd write an essay. So far, the ambitious contest has recieved an astronomical 26 entries -- 12 of them from ND students. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the impression that our state is an empty, useless wasteland, and everyone's just a little too busy to write an essay with a militaristic subtext to get something for free. It happens. They still have a week to enter, maybe the National Guard's mailbox in Bismarck will be bursting with 500 entries this week.
