THROUGH Student Life tudent life at D ic k in so n State offers the traditional activities associated with a university in a small campus setting. At D S U this year students participat足 ed in plays, balanced weights and m e a 足 sures in science classes, attended h o m e 足 com ing activities, and went to campus events. They also pursued private interests and contributed in a variety o f ways to the university. They jogged early in the morning and worked in the Badlands digging dinosaur bones. Taking time out from classes, they donated blood and served their country in a perilous year o f international tensions. W hether playing intramurals or c a r 足 rying a food donation, students this year made the university larger than its mere numbers.

eality shock can usually be felt in any profession when a student goes from the student role to the pro fessional role. Many facets o f student teaching surprised DSU student teachers. Lawanna Wilhelm, who student taught the third grade during fall se mester and who double-majored in elementary and secondary ed, said, "I just couldn’t believe the work in volved in elementary compared to secondary.” "Elementary calls for so much re search because o f all the different subjects you have to teach. In my sec ondary student teaching I just taught math. In elementary not only do you have all o f those different subjects but you have to plan the material relevant for all kinds o f kids, for th'e slower ones and the exceptionally bright ones.” Wilhelm felt this was the busiest time o f her college career. "I was much busier during student teaching than I was when I was in school taking 22-24 credits.” Kim Stanton had the experience o f student teaching two grades as well. She taught second grade and kinder garten. "I just loved teaching second grade. I know now that I don’t want to teach kindergarten.” This decision had nothing to do with the kids, Stan ton said. "It’s just their age. It was frustrating when it took 15 minutes just for everyone to find their yellow crayon. You have to be very patient.” Stanton felt the class size o f twenty three was ridiculous for kindergarten, stating that when the children were a year younger and in daycare such

numbers would have been illegal for one caretaker. "But now here they are in school and one teacher is supposed to be able to handle 23 five-and-six year-olds as well as teach them some thing. I think that is sending the mes sage that kindergarten is not as impor tant as daycare.” Lyann Rick also taught a large class o f third graders. "One thing that really surprised me was that they don’t have to ask to go to the bathroom like we did when we were that age. They just get up and go. With 30 kids there is someone leaving the room continu ously. It would just take too much time to have to have them each ask.” The time spent in preparation o f lesson plans was a shock to nearly all the student teachers. ”1 can’t believe how long lesson planning takes,” Rick said. For every hour o f teaching she estimated that she put in two-and-ahalf hours o f preparation. Preparation time was a factor in the reality shock o f teaching for Russ Riehl as well. He taught Spanish at the high school and helped out with the ater and drama. "It is hard because you are feeling around for what amount o f information you can give them in the hour o f time you have.” Riehl was not alone in this observa tion. Lance Scranton felt the same. He said, "Y ou find you have to overprepare, especially when starting.” Another surprise to Scranton was the behavior he encountered at the high school level. "T o that point all the experience you have in teaching is with your peers. When I was actually with the kids, I guess I expected them to be smarter.

"Y ou have to tell them to sit down, to be quiet, to get their books out, things that as a college student you just do without being told.” Kelly Kienenberger found that as a physical education and health teacher she was expected to teach many dif ferent classes and levels o f students. "It meant handling four grades, fresh man through senior.” Kienenberger says that a physical education teacher needs a positive attitude. "Some kids don’t want to be there but you can’t let them have the class. You have to be in control. I really enjoyed the dif ferent classes, the variety.” Karen Dryden also taught physical education as well as health. The focus placed on health surprised her. "When I was their age our health discussions were about brushing our teeth, hy giene type o f things. Now we are talk ing everything in society — drugs, aids, depression and suicide — having a minor in psychology has really helped.” Dryden says she has always wanted to be a physical ed and health teacher, but now that she has had a taste o f what it is really like she is even more sure. "I know this is what I want to do for sure.” Being in control was something Dave Himmelspach, who taught earth science to eighth graders, found out immediately. "You have to kind of play the tough guy. If you are too nice they take advantage. Himmelspach enjoyed teaching. "It was so reward ing to see that they actually learned something from you.”

inding classroom s, using vending machines, and getting into and out o f buildings on cam pus presents no problem for the majority o f students who attend Dickinson State University. How ever, these are just a few o f the daily annoyances encountered by three DSU students. Bev Rilley and Konnie Hoffman are not able to see which classroom they are entering or what brand of soft drink they are purchasing from campus vending machines because they are blind. "I appreciate the raised letters and braille in the elevator in May Hall,” Rilley said. "If they can label those, they can label other things around here — even some o f the second-or third-floor classrooms, so you don’t have to guess what room is what," she continued. She also said she would like the vending machines on campus to be labeled. It would be difficult for any student to rely on her memory when purchasing refreshments from vending machines. There was a time when Tab was the second button down on one o f the pop machines in the basement o f May Hall. "But one day somebody de cided to change that,” Rilley said. Hoffman has spent the last three years on D SU ’s campus. She said most o f the improvements she has noticed at the university have been geared toward people in wheel chairs. "But for many particular situation,” she said, "after college I am going to be in the real world anyway, and I’ll have to find my way around.” Both women have found indi vidualized methods for locating university facilities. Rilley has a seeing-eye dog named Foxy which indicates where sidewalks and buildings are situated. Hoffman uses a cane and landmarks. She said, "I can hear where buildings are. I know that when there is a dip in the sidewalk, it’s time to turn.” Accessibility does not present problems for Rilley and Hoffman as it does for Brad Van Horn. Without wheelchair ramps in the front o f May Hall, he is not able to enter and exit from its main en trances. Alvin Binstock, Vice President o f Business Affairs, said, "The handicapped student coming up to the front side o f campus really has to be familiar with the campus.

Currently, the only way to access the elevator from May Hall is from the backside.” And he added, "A [disabled] student needing to get from the academic building to the library to study really doesn’t have a lot o f choice but to exit the back side, go all the way around the facility, and come into the front entrance o f the library.” Van Horn said the university could do more to help physically disabled students. "It is hard to explain,” he said. "They could have electric doors, but I know it’s too expensive for all the doors.” Also, Van Horn said the campus needs ramps in the Student Center so people in wheelchairs could eat in the downstairs cafeteria. He said currently Student Center officials have his meals delivered to him on the main floor. Binstock agrees that it would be ideal for students with wheelchairs to have access to all the facilities at the Student Center. He said, "In reality, don’t they have the right to be able to sit in the same setting and have the same type o f social experience as non-handicapped students?” But he explained that funding is the problem. According to Binstock, the Student Center does not receive state funding. Instead, all the money for improvements to the facility must come from profits generated by the operation o f the cafeteria and the bookstore. However, he said projects co n cerning academic buildings are funded through the state. Binstock said the problems o f physically handicapped students attending North Dakota campuses were not addressed by the state legislature until the early 1970s. Also, he stated that when DSU re ceived its first instructions co n cerning accessibility they came in the form o f a recommendation, not a mandate. "First, they asked us to address the availability o f people to move about campus — exclusive o f the facilities themselves,” he said. At the point, curb cuts were installed on the sidewalks on the university property. Later a ramp was constructed on the north side o f May Hall making the basement level o f the building available to students in wheel chairs. Then, approximately two years ago, DSU installed an eleva

tor which services every floor. "Rest room facilities have all been renovated so that rest rooms on each floor — male and female — are accessible to address the needs o f the handicapped.” However, Van Horn said he is not able to get his wheelchair into the rest rooms in May Hall because privacy walls, located inside the doorways, are not far enough away from the entrances. He admits that he is able to access the facilities by using his crutches, but "if you were severely handicapped, you couldn’t do that,” he said. In the past two years, Binstock said, the state legislature has set aside money to fund future handi capped projects on its university and college campuses. DSU was a beneficiary o f those funds which recently paid to install an elevator in Murphy Hall. "This summer we completed the shaft construction. We are current ly waiting until October or N o vember for delivery o f the car,” he said. But, once again, when the elevator is operable, administrators will have to assess the availability o f rest rooms in Murphy Hall. Binstock also spoke about other projects that university officials are hoping to receive funds for in the future. "W e were approved as a number one alternate for the development o f another elevator project that would link May Hall to the li brary,” he said. And according to him, DSU made a proposal to the state on September 13, 1990, for an enclo sure on the back side o f Scott and Weinbergen gymnasiums. He said the three existing walls o f the structures would be incorporated to create a link between the two buildings. The proposed additions will have a ramp to provide easy access from the parking lot to a new en trance. Binstock said the structure will contain rest rooms, too. Cur rently, the only rest rooms in Scott and Weinbergen are downstairs. Past improvements have taken place at DSU to accommodate students who meet special chal lenges, and future improvements are being discussed. But, as Binstock said, "We have a few things we are learning as we go along. It is an ongoing educational process for the institution as well.”

any treasures — country churches — dot the North D a kota prairies. Rich in culture and beauty, these churches have played a large part in shaping many North D a kota towns and communities. In Richardton, a predominately German-Russian, German-Hungarian community located 25 miles east of Dickinson, lies Assumption Abbey, "the cathedral o f the prairies.” Fr. Vincent Wehrle, envisioned the R i chardton area as a center for mission ary activity for the German settlers. In 1899 Fr. Wehrle returned to Richard ton to build the Benedictine M onas tery o f St. Mary’s. After the abbey had been closed for several years because o f financial difficulties, the pope per suaded the Abbot at S t.Jo h n ’s Abbey in Minnesota to reopen the monastery. Largely the work o f monks, the abbey is an independent monastery and not under the direct control o f the church hierarchy, except in matters o f d oc trine. The monks once operated both a college and later a high school on the location but due to financial diffi culties both have since closed. Today, thirty-five monks are totally self suffi cient; operating a winery and a print shop help defray costs. Saint Demetrius Ukrainian Catholic Church in eastern Billings County graces the roadside north o f Belfield. Founded in 1906, the original church

was destroyed by fire, and the existing gold-domed structure, built in 1930, was relocated from its original loca tion to its present site in 1949- The church still has an active congregation today. Located 17 miles southwest o f Dickinson, Saint Pius Church was es tablished in 1912. At one time the parish had 133 families, but a parochi al school located in the parish was forced to close in 1984 because o f decreasing enrollment. Monsignor Bede Dahmus, who offered over 21,000 masses, performed his last mass in 1990 before retiring. In New Hradec, Saints Peter and Paul Church was built on land donat ed by the Northern Pacific Railroad and it was completed in 1917. At the time the church was built there were 150 Czech families in the parish, and many people drove great distances by buggy and sleigh to attend the church as it was the only Catholic church in the area. A parochial school opened in January 1918 with 23 students but a t tendance was erratic because o f bad weather and because many children only went to school when they were not needed for farm work. Because o f declining enrollment, the school closed in the 1960s. In 1986 the church was placed on the historical register o f North Dakota.

ifting weights or doing any kind o f physical activity other than cleaning, cooking, or taking care o f the children used to make a woman appear less than feminine. However, many DSU women are involved in some type o f exercise — aerobics, fit ness walking, swimming, lifting weights, bodybuilding, or mall walk ing. The look in the seventies was to appear paper-thin. Today the ideal physique calls for toning and firmness, and the woman should not be too thin. DSU women work hard at attaining that level o f health and fitness. Donna Zastoupil, a senior, works out every day whether she runs cross-country or lifts free weights. Women today are doing very extreme workouts," she said. "They are pushing their bodies to the limit. I don’t feel that lifting weights or working out makes you less feminine. The definition o f Fem i nine has changed in the last twenty years. "Feminine in the past meant that you were fragile and weak. Today

feminine women can be assertive. Lifting weights to me is like working with a sculpture. You are creating the sculpture — yourself. If you want to accent the better parts o f your body, or improve the not so good parts, then you can turn to lifting weights or d o ing some kind o f aerobic activity." Aerobic fitness was popular this year as DSU students participated in aerobics classes at the Fitness Factory, a local health center. ”1 feel that wom en are doing a good job keeping themselves in shape. I see nothing wrong with working out if you are a woman,” said Tana Maher. Stephanie Schell also pointed out the benefits o f exercise. "I think that women should care about their bodies and work out on a regular basis. B o dybuilding is all right except when they go to the extreme o f using ster oids. I do aerobics so that I won’t gain weight during college.” Lisa Barnhart, a sophomore, lifts weights at the health center in the Elks Club and runs a few times during the week. She agrees that women should not feel less feminine if they work out.

"Lifting weights shouldn’t have to make you feel like a guy. Some wom en don't see the reason for women to lift weights, but the reason why I do it, is to keep my body toned and in shape.” Missy Stanton said, "W om en should work out and keep track o f how their bodies look. Exercising makes you feel healthier and look bet ter. I do it to stay in shape also.” The regimen o f exercise need not only be work. "Aerobics and working out is fun and more women should participate in it,” said Kelly Sjurseth. "I like to do aerobics to make sure that I won't gain the freshman fif teen.” For Kelly Friesz, exercise enhances a woman’s femininity. "Working out makes women more feminine in the fact that they are better physically fit. I feel better about myself when I’m working out or doing aerobics.” Today DSU women are more con cerned about being toned and in shape instead o f worrying about not appearing feminine.

Yuan and Lu exchange vows by Flynn Ell T h e B ism arck Tribune When Sheng-Long Lu said the magic "1 do" that united him in marriage here Saturday with his bride Yuhong Yuan, he saw red. But it was O K. Red is the Chinese color o f good fortune and 23-year-old Yuan wore a red silk wedding gown trimmed in orange brocade. The form-fitting gown was high-collared and slit at the an kles in the style made famous to Americans by Madame Chiang Kai-shek. Lu, 28, wore a dark westernstyle business suit with a red tie and said in an interview that white was out o f the question for a Chinese wedding. "White is the color o f death in China.” Both are exchange students at Dickinson State University, having come here to study Eng lish and computer science at the urging o f DSU President Albert Watrel, who visited at their school, the University o f Hefei, 200 miles west o f Shanghai. Fri day the bride and a Chinese

friend were busy preparing won tons, egg rolls, dumplings and especial side dishes like M on golian beef for the reception at Watrel’s home following their marriage in St. Patrick Church by the Rev. Casmir Paluck. The date, Dec. 22, had spe cial significance and was picked by their parents in China well in advance o f the wedding. Lu said that in China where there are 24 seasons, Dec. 22 is the "advent o f winter.” And the number two is good luck. Lu’s 28th birthday was also his wed ding day and his wife was 23 on Aug. 22. They met in 1987 at their university, she is student from an intellectual family with two professors for parents, and he an English professor from an agricultural family. The differ ence in family status was only one obstacle they had to over come, Lu confessed. His pro spective mother-in-law "inves tigated” him for a week before finally giving approval to their marriage plans. "I was very ner vous at first. The mother is very

important in the decision mak ing,” he said. Both are from the southern provinces o f China and not accustomed to North Dakota’s winter. "It is very nice in our apartment, but very cold outside,” said Lu, who works part-time at the Dairy Queen in Dickinson. The Chinese English professor said, "Americans are frank and practical. Chinese are much more reserved.”

Watrel stood in for the miss ing parents and gave the bride away. They were married in the Catholic church because her relatives were Catholic before Mao Tse-tung came to power in China. Lu intends to get a master’s degree in English and return with his wife to China. She studies computer science and would prefer to stay in this country, he said.

University ponders— drops by

D iane Ja n d t fter student protests, the university scrapped in January its 62-year-old home coming Indian ceremony. Following a recommenda tion o f a Multi-Cultural Task Force to drop the ceremony, President Albert Watrel decided to stop the dance, which fea tured students dancing in Indi an costumes as part o f home coming ceremonies. Controversy over the cere mony erupted just before the 1990 DSU homecoming when a group o f students, Students Against Racism, said the cere mony showed disrespect for Native Americans and perpet uated racist stereotypes. After one poorly attended meeting and one postponed meeting, in the January meet ing, an eight-member task force agreed that the ceremony should go. "Everybody on the task force agreed that times change, people change, and un der those circumstances, we’re in a situation here what was once acceptable is no longer, and everybody realized that,” said Mark Jastorff, DSU direc tor for university relations. In the first meeting on Nov. 20 o f a 9 -member task force appointed to examine the homecoming ceremony, less than half o f the members showed up. At that meeting, Ethel Schuchhardt, DSU senior, said that the ceremony violated equal opportunity and affirma tive action statements as ex pressed in the DSU catalog and was not authentic because no native Americans were involved in the ceremony. George Nodland, vice-presi dent o f the DSU Alumni Asso ciation, said "W e can't change a tradition overnight must for the sake o f change.”

On the night o f the ceremo ny, due to resistance to the homecoming ceremony, the ad ministration issued a statement,

brave, spoke o f the tradition o f the ceremony and its controver sy. "I think you've got your handful o f people, but I think

Those dissenting with university policy and the administration agreed to discuss the ceremonial after the homecoming. MarkJastorff, public relations director, read a prepared statement on the university’s position. Representatives o f Students Against Racism were Constance Walter, Rita Knowles, Elizabeth MacDuffie, Tana Patterson-Keller, Ramona Krueger, and Jim Schneider (back).

which said, "D SU will honor the request o f concerned stu dents and individuals to discuss homecoming traditions involv ing the Native American cul ture. The University and its support groups welcomes the opportunities to address this is sue. DSU encourages all inter ested parties to participate in the upcoming discussion. Pre liminary meetings will com mence in the near future.” Although the university agreed to consider the issue, some students agreed with con tinuing the ceremony. Lyle Miller, a member o f the homecoming committee, said the ceremonial was a strong part o f the university. "It’s just part o f everybody and it should

involved in it. I don’t look at the ceremony as a way o f de grading the American Indian,” said Carmen Braaten. "I think of it as an honor that we were chosen, and I think it’s great that we have a chief and a prin cess, not a king and a queen because that’s what separates us from the rest o f the universities and it’s important to our heri tage here at the college. Braaten was chairman o f the homecom ing committee and a maiden in the ceremony. Debbie Hourigan, ceremoni al maiden and secretary o f the homecoming committee, said, "I do feel it's an even greater honor as I do have some Indian in me. Brad Roshau, honorary

what it boils down to is that it’s not going to change,” said R o shau. Said Sharon Sauvageau of the homecoming committee, "It’s a tradition. North Dakota is full o f tradition, so I don’t think it’s going to die out ei ther.” While some students sup ported continuing the home coming ceremony as it is, others disagreed with the idea o f a ceremony using an authentic Native American dance. They cited racism and perpetuation o f stereotypes. Rita Knowles, elected honor maiden o f the ceremony, chose not to take part in it. "It became clear to me that the Native Americans are very hurt by this

Homecoming ceremony ceremony. They’re offended by it; they feel it's a desecration o f their culture. Once I realized that, I realized I couldn’t go through with the ceremony. I wanted so bad to be homecom ing princess, but I don’t want to get on a horse and dress up as an Indian,” said Knowles. "I think dressing a bunch o f white kids up in Indian cos tumes and having them parade down Villard on horses is abso lutely absurd. But what’s even worse is to have them dancing around on a stage in front o f a bunch o f alumni in a sacred rit ual dance that they don’t un derstand,” said Connie Walter, one o f those protesting the ceremony. "They are borrowing

for fun from a culture that they don't understand.” Ethel Schuuchardt, a senior at DSU, said the ceremony does not relate to the DSU Blue Hawks, nor does it relate to Native Americans. "If it did, the Indians would be performing for the people, the people wouldn’t be performing for the Indians.” "If DSU is so intent on something Native American to do, why don’t they have a N a tive American Day?” said Edith Ehnes, sophomore and sup porter o f change in the home coming ceremony. "Invite N a tive Americans from Bismarck, Ft. Berthold, and Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Have

them bring crafts and entertain us for a day if that’s what we want — to be entertained by Native American Culture.” In the January meeting, the task force recommended that a ethnic awareness day be substi tuted in place o f the ceremony.

Faculty receives wage boost The State Board o f Higher Education okayed planned fa c ulty pay raises and the use o f extra funds for additional raises to full professors and associate professors this year. The action came following a Faculty Senate’s demand that Dr. Albert Watrel address salary differences between DSU and other state universities. Watrel, DSU president, in October tec ommended to the board that associate and full professors re ceive salary raises. His action came after the Faculty Senate voted unani mously in September to pass a resolution o f no-confidence unless Watrel address the issue of salary gaps between Dickin

son State and other state schools. Watrei’s letter to the senate responded to the senate’s de mand that Watrel inform the senate o f the course o f action he intended to follow in ad dressing pay inequities at D ick inson State. In his letter, Watrel, pointing out that faculty salary discre pancies existed when compar ing faculty salaries at DSU and other state institutions, said that the problem had developed over a number o f years. At the meeting, Watrel pro posed to give $1,500 each to 13 full-time professors and #1,300 each to the 14 associate profes sors. Only these two groups

would share in the raise under Watrei’s proposal. The money was to come from a $38,000 surplus o f funds caused by fa c ulty resignations and personnel replacements from the previous year. After the meeting, the senate voted to unanimously accept Watrei’s proposal, which was to go to the State Board o f Higher Education for approval. The increase for faculty members followed other pay raises, which the legislature granted before last December's tax referrals. These pay raises were re-instituted by the State Board o f Education following Governor George Sinner's a c tion in August to restore $5.77

million to the state's universi ties. O f this amount DSU was expected to receive $250,000 o f which $85,000 was to go toward faculty raises. This increase o f at least 3.8 percent was to apply to all faculty except those not on the staff during the 1989-90 academic year and was in addi tion to at least 3.2 percent given to some faculty in the spring o f 1990. Watrei’s proposals came after a faculty report, released anony mously, analyzed 1990 salary data from the state board and concluded that significant sala ry differentials existed at the level o f professor and associate professors.

Senate rejects budget by Rene’s Beasley Jones The Western Concept During its weekly meeting last Thursday, the Student Senate voted to reject the Student Finance Commis sion’s budgetary recommendations for the 1991 -92 school year. The pivotal item on the proposal dealt with the Western Concept. Fi nance commission members had voted to quit supporting the university’s newspaper with money from student fees. However, some Student Senate members, like senator Stephanie Farstveet, disagreed with that position. "You cannot take away this money and expect them to survive,” she said. Treasurer Mark Seyler said, "There are many organizations on campus that are not funded by student fees.” He said, "The Western Concept is still a chartered organization on campus . . . and is still encouraged to raise rev enue through advertising.” "It would be a terrible mistake if the Finance commission made the recom mendation for no funding because they don’t like what was printed,” he contin ued. Along with his seat on the Student Senate, Seyler is also the chair o f the Finance commission. He said the reason the Western Con cept was not funded in the recommen dations was because o f Financial con siderations — "frivolous spending o f student dollars, poor administrative

leadership and lack of student partici pation.” Student Senate advisor, Jim Ciavarella, said the newspaper did operate outside its budget; however, the Stu dent senate never notiFied Concept edi tors, in writing, o f cost overruns. Senator Jim Keller said that the Western Concept allocation was inap propriate, even if the newspaper went over its budget, because the editor was not given a warning. Senator Je ff Transtrom agreed. Two o f the senator abstained from voting on the proposed recommenda tions: president-elect, Thomas Heaton and current vice president Sandy Picken. Along with opposition from the Stu dent Senate, approximately Fifteen stu dents attended Thursday’s meeting to protest against the recommendations. The Senate’s agenda provided a thir ty-minute forum for them to voice their opinions. Four people from the audi ence addressed the representative body: Constance Walter and Rita Knowles, co-editors o f the Western concept; Eli zabeth MacDufFie, associate editor of "Impressions,” and Mark Klemestrud. Walter is also this year’s editor o f "Im pressions,” the university’s literary jour nal. "No one came to us and told us we were over budget, but when we realized we were, we cut (the newspaper) back to eight pages,” Walter said about the Concept staff. "Furthermore, the Concept has come

in over budget o f the two previous years — no warning was issued that we would lose funding if this continued,” she said. Though not in attendance at the Sen ate meeting, a member o f the Student Finance Commission expressed criti cisms o f the commission’s decision to stop supporting the university’s news paper as well. "I was frankly shocked and surprised at the tight-Fisted approach that seemed to permeate the board,” said Jack Smart. According to him, money was not a consideration when the commission ad vised against funding the Western Con cept. "W e didn’t even spend the interests from the contingency fund,” he said. "Philosophically, I don’t see that the student activity fee should be generat ing interest income on a yearly basis to the extent that it is.” Smart feels that the money would provide a greater beneFit to the student body if it were put to sue. I wasn’t at all pleased with the com mission’s playing games by not funding the Western Concept in an attempt 'to send a message’ to the editors and advi sor o f the student paper. It seemed rath er silly,” he said. Student speaker, K lem estru d, thought the Finance commission’s rec ommendations concerning the Concept were reminiscent o f Hitler’s or Stalin’s regimes. "I’ve discussed with Mr. Heaton (president-elect o f the Student Senate)

Student paper receives funds by Renee Beasley Jones Daring its last meeting o f the year, the Student Senate voted to accept the once-rejected rec ommendations o f the Student Finance Commission. The only change made to the budget was the softening o f a contingency placed on "Im pressions,” the university’s liter ary journal. The finance com mission agreed to allow profes sors’ work to be published in the anthology as long as it was "noted as such.” The most controversial item on the budget remained the same. It was recommended that the university's newspaper re

ceive no funding. From the Student Senate, the recommendations then traveled to the president’s office. "This is the first time they (the Student Finance Commis sion) have said they would not fund,” said Dr. Albert Watrel, president o f Dickinson State University. "They knew I would put it (recommendations) back. They wanted to get my atten tion.” Watrel accepted the guide lines voted upon by the Student Finance Commission and the Student Senate with one excep tion. In a letter to Student Sen ate Advisor,Jim Ciavarella, W a trel said he was allocating $5,000 to the Western Concept.

According to Watrel, the school newspaper is funded through student fees because it does not receive state money, like the university’s athletics program. Watrel said the entire $5,000 will not be used to fund the university’s 1991-92 newspaper. A portion o f the allocation will pay the current debt o f the publication. Watrel said he doesn’t know the reasons why the commis sion decided not to fund the university’s newspaper. "I have never talked to any o f them. You can even see that there was a student conflict,” he said. "If there was a conflict, let’s put it straight and get it

behind us.” He also advised Ciavarella in the letter that he would "ap point an Ad Hoc committee next fail to review the operation o f the Western C on cept." ”1 want a fair committee to say, Here are the rules you op erate under — here are the rules for the editor and the advisor,’ ” said Watrel. At this time, he said he doesn’t know who will be ap pointed to positions on the committee. "A newspaper is important to an institution,” said Watrel. "The history o f the school comes from the newspaper and the yearbook.”

Central Saudi Arabia (A P) — The United States and its allies hurled a mighty air armada against Iraq early today to crush that Arab nation's military power and drive it from conquered Kuwait. "The liberation o f Kuwait has begun," President Bush declared in Washington. "Operation Desert Shield” became "Operation Desert Storm” around 12:50 a.m. (3.50 p.m. CST) as F-15E fighter bombers took o ff from the largest U.S. air base in central Saudi Arabia and streaked north. The air offensive, aimed at troops and other strategic sites in both Iraq and Kuwait, included U.S. Air Force planes, British Tornado, fighter bombers, 150 Saudi Arabian F-15s and Tornadoes, and aircraft o f K u wait’s exiled military, allied officials said. First reports indicated Iraqi resistance was limited, U.S. defense o ffi cials said. Early word on U.S. casualties was "very, very encouraging,” said Defense Secretary Dick Cheney. The furious early-morning assault was the climax to a crisis that built over more than five months, as Iraq’s President Saddam Hussein, whose forces stormed Kuwait in a lightning invasion Aug. 2, rejected world condemnation and dismissed U.N. economic sanctions designed to force him out o f the occupied emigrate. Bush told the American people in his 8 p.m. CST address, "W e will not fail.” "All reasonable efforts” to resolve the Persian G ulf by diplomacy and economic sanctions had failed and Iraq’s President Saddam Hussein "met every overture o f peace with contempt” said the somber president. "The world could wait no longer.” DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia (A P) — U.S. forces struck Iraqi troops in a long-awaited land offensive early Sunday after Saddam Hussein ignored a White House ultimatum to pull his army out o f occupied Kuwait. The attack, following weeks o f practice by allied armored, air and amphibious forces, marked the start o f the biggest U.S. ground engage ment since Vietnam and America’s first desert land war since World War II. It began about 8 p.m. CST. (A P) — Thrusting deep into Iraq and Kuwait against little more than token resistance, US.-led ground forces pursued their swift campaign to rout Saddam Hussein’s troops along a 300-mile front — taking at least 10,000 prisoners in the first 24 hours o f the campaign and advancing toward the Kuwaiti capital, military commanders said.

(A P) — There was joy amid the ruins as Kuwaiti resistance leaders declared late Tuesday they were in control o f their smoke-filled capital following nearly seven months o f occupation. Fleeing Iraqi troops took thousand o f Kuwaiti captives with them, resistance leaders say. Left behind were an armory o f tanks and loaded weapons and a ravaged city. Greensburg, Pa. (A P) — Eleven soldiers from Pennsylvania Reserve units, two o f them the first U.S. women reported killed in the gulf war, died when an Iraqi missile leveled their barracks in Saudi Arabia, relatives and the Army said Wednesday. The 14th Quartermaster Detachment had left the United States just a week and a day before the Scud missile hit Monday. All together 28 Americans died and 100 were wounded, the Army said. In Southern Iraq (A P) — U.S. and French units that swept around the left flank o f Iraqi forces and cut o ff all possibility o f escape ground to a triumphant halt Thursday. The lightning move o f the X V III Airborne Corps, using assault heli copters and light armor, drove to the north o f Basra, southern Iraq’s largest city, before President Bush’s orders stopped it. The Screaming Eagles o f the 101st had the farthest to go in the end run o f the X V III Corps to the rear o f the main Iraqi force. They moved quickly to the Euphrates River, cutting o ff retreat to Baghdad by High way 8, then attacked the highway north o f Basra. Air assault helicopters o f the 101st knocked out armored personnel carriers, helicopters, trucks, and tanks and other heavy equipment trying to move northward. Washington (A P) — President Bush on Wednesday night ordered coalition military force to suspend combat attacks at midnight — exactly 100 hours after the ground assault that doomed Saddam Hussein’s occu pation o f Kuwait. "Kuwait is liberated, Iraq’s army is defeated,” Bush declared. Washington — Iraq Thursday accepted President Bush’s term for a meeting o f military commanders to discuss a full cease-fire, leading administration officials to hope for a quick release o f U.S. prisoners of war and a formal end to the Persian Gulf war. Safwan, Iraq (A P) — Allied and Iraqi military leaders agreed Sunday to a tentative cease-fire and a quick release o f war prisoners in a dramatic meeting o f commanders at a captured desert airstrip in southern Iraq.

IT You can shop on Sundays by Deneen Gilmour The Bismarck Tribune Gov. George Sinner signed Sunday shopping into law Wednesday, saying he wouldn’t call a special election if the law was successfully referred. The next scheduled election is in 1992, which would give North Dakotans more than a year to experience Sunday

shopping before they vote on it. Even before the signing, state Tourism Director Jim Fuglie O K ’d television ads to entice Candadians to spend money in North Dakota on Sundays. The advertisements will ap pear in Regina, Winnipeg and Brandon. Tourism officials weren’t the only ones chomping at the bit over Sunday shopping.

North Dakota retailers have been anxious since the House passed the bill Monday. Retail ers wondered when the gover nor, who just returned from Washington on Tuesday, would sign the bill. Slow action would have kept stores waiting until Feb. 17 to sell on Sunday. Later Wednesday, the law was filed with the secretary o f state, making the action official.

Sinner’s signature means stores can open this Sunday. But Sinner won’t be among those shopping. He plans to speak to a support group in M i not that day. The governor’s signature re pealed North Dakota’s centuryold law that banned most Sun day sales.

Teachers win arbitration round by Deena Kromarek The Bismarck Tribune A wave o f relief swept through a large group o f teach ers as the Senate passed a bill 28-25 Wednesday requiring binding arbitration for stalled teacher contract negotiations. Some were even moved to tears. Gov. George Sinner is ex pected to sign the bill, making it law July 1. But several groups are already interested in refer ring the legislation. "I really felt that people o f the state do not agree with this decision and I feel that they will express their disagreement,”

said Richard Ott, executive di rector o f the state School Board Association. "I know that there will be a referral effort. There’s some chance, too, that it’s un constitutional.” The North Dakota Educa tion Association has pushed the legislation to no avail since 1973 — four years after the state adopted a law requiring a fact finding commission to break negotiation deadlocks. Supports o f arbitration say the fa c t-fin d com m ission method is useless because school boards can still choose the contract they prefer in the end.

"It was quite a relief,” said Walt Hatlestad, president o f NDEA. "It’s quite a thrill to have it pass and we just hope that we can show that it is a good procedure to have in the bargaining process.” The bill requires teachers and school boards to resort to "final offer resolution” when an agreement on salaries and fringe benefits can’t be reached. A panel o f three people chosen by the teachers and school board will pick one o f the two parties’ final offer. No changes can be made to the proposal they choose.” NDEA communications di

rector Dick Palmer has worked with the group since 1967. The teachers union represents 7,200 teachers across the state, or about 85 to 90 percent o f the state’s teachers. ”1 have to admit, after this much time there were times when I wondered if it would ever pass,” Palmer said. It re news my faith in the legislature process.” The closest binding arbitra tion had come to passing before was in 1983, when the bill passed the House but failed in the Senate 21-31-

Is the popcorn buttered, dear?

fluff or out to get Molly McButter. They were serious. "It really is a consumer pro tection bill,” said Rep. Roxanne Jensen, R-Grand Forks. "This is truth in advertising measure.” They urged lawmakers to "seek the truth" and bear in mind the important o f the dairy industry to North Dakota. The state Dairy Promotion has sup ported the bill. "I don’t believe our dairy farmers think this is a silly bill,” said Rep. Ronald Nichols, DPalermo, who is farmer/ranch -

er. Other lawmakers said the North Dakota Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act already contains language prohibiting such cases o f false advertising. The act is enforced by the state Health Department, but the depart ment doesn’t routinely inspect the theaters, drugstores, hard ware stores and other establish ments selling buttered popcorn. Also, the language does not specifically refer to butter used on popcorn. Rep. Art Goffe, D-Valley,

City, said the truth in advertis ing bill should apply to all in fractions, not must buttered popcorn. "I too believe in truth adver tising,” Goffe said. "However, I do not believe in passing legis lation one item at a time.” The bill now goes on to Governor Sinner for approval. The bill was amended so it doesn’t apply to commercial brand names. So Molly McBut ter is o ff the hood . . . for now.

State nixs museum by C arter W o od T he B ism arck Tribune A Dickinson dinosaur muse um faces threats o f financial ex tinction, following an 84-21 House vote Monday that blocked state funding for the project. "At this time we really can’t afford to do this,” said Rep. Ken Thompson, R-Beach. The measure called for the Industrial Commission to see $2 million in state bonds. The

money would have become available if the federal govern ment contributed the same amount, and private donations reached $500,000. "It’s certainly a difficult blow after you’ve been working on this as hard as our group has,” said Ronald Lisko, president o f the board o f the Western His tory Museum, another name for the dinosaur project. The board may scale down its plans or even "go into extinction,” he said.

Other funding sources might also be sought, Lisko said, nothing that the organization had just won non-profit, taxfree status. A board meeting next month will review the issues. Supports promoted the mu seum as a way to encourage tourism and preserve dinosaur fossils found in southwestern North Dakota. Out-of-state museums frequently mount ex peditions to the Badlands to collect fossils.

"They belong here in the state, not some eastern universi ty,” said Rep. Frank Wald, RDickinson. The Board o f High er Education had given the mu seum’s board an option to lease a parcel o f land on the campus of Dickinson State University. The effort ran into opposi tion from several geologists, paleontologist and Bowman and Marmarth also argued against state funding.

Sinner vetoes abortion bill By D eena K ro m arek T he B ism arck Tribune Looking stone-faced and determined, Gov. George Sin ner Monday vetoed what would have become the nation’s stric test abortion law. About an hour after receiv ing the bill, Sinner called a press conference to announce his de cision. Highway patrol officers flanked the door o f the confer ence room. Access to the press conference was restricted to

media. "I think everybody that has cared has known all along how I felt,’ Skinner said.” I have tak en the same position for a long time. No one really should have been in doubt. I have studied this sufficiently that I was pretty sure that there was no way I could sign this bill.” He did sign another abortion bill. It requires an abortion fa cility to inform a patient about the procedure and alternatives. The woman must then wait 24

hours before getting an abor tion. Opponents argued that both bills are unconstitutional. Sinner says he is personally opposed to abortion, but is against imposing those beliefs upon others. That’s why the bill’s "abso lute denial o f abortion to a lot of people” prompted him to veto the bill. He said such legis lation would only be permissi ble when there was "clearly, un equivocally, beyond a shadow o f a doubt a person present at

the moment o f conception.” Sinner took swift action on the bill saying he didn’t want to prolong the emotionally-charge issue. "I don’t want people’s em o tions to build up any more than they are,” Sinner said. "It’s dif ficult enough for everyone in volved, myself included, and it will only get worse as people anguish, and wonder and wait."

House fails to override veto by D eena K ro m a rek The B ism arck Tribune The fight to virtually outlaw abortion in North Dakota came to a screeching halt Tuesday as the House failed to override Gov. George Sinner’s veto.

The house voted 63-43, fail ing eight votes short o f a twothirds majority. Sinner vetoed the bill that bans abortion ex cept in reported cases o f rape and incest or to save the life o f the mother. Supporters o f the bill picked

up the "yes” votes o f one co n vert and three lawmakers who were absent when the House voted on the bill earlier in the session. But five legislators changed their minds and voted against the bill. Four o f the five were Democrats largely influ

enced by Sinner’s explanation o f his veto. A letter from Sinner explaining the veto was read to representatives before the de bate and each lawmaker re ceived a copy o f it.

hen searching for dinosaur fossils in the Hell Creek For mation in southeastern Montana and the southwestern corner o f North D a kota, DSU students, under the guid ance o f Larry League, assistant profes sor o f Earth Science and Geography, receive an intensive two-week fossil expedition. In the summer session o f 1990, League offered Paleontology every two weeks. League said, "The students get hands-on experience out in the field, which most people would agree is more valuable than just reading the material out o f books in a classroom." Julie Beierlein, a junior and Earth Science major, said, "When you take a field class like this, you get a better idea o f the size o f these fossils. They’re not as big as I thought they would be.” Bones can be found at any eleva tion in the Hell Creek Formation. "Y ou have to look for the right strata

that contains the bones,” said League, "because we’re working in an anti cline, which means the beds are titled. So, you can walk three, four miles and the elevation may have 400 feet.” By using a keen sense o f sight and by knowing the stratigraphy o f the land, a student can easily spot bones. Vicki Mulholland, a senior majoring in Earth Science and Geography, said, "This year I found mostly small verte brae or scales or some crocodile teeth. The largest bone I found was an Ana tosaurus (duck bill dinosaur) scapula, which was large enough to have a plaster cast put on it.” Other students also made finds. "The most important fossil I found in the two week course was a horn and part o f the skull o f Triceratops,” Shawn Prescott, a senior minoring in Earth Science, said. Discussions about building a g eo logical museum on the Dickinson State campus that would emphasize

Paleontology, rocks and minerals, and Indian artifacts have been frequent re cently. "If the museum were built, our two main emphases would be dino saurs and Oligocene (30 million year old) mammals because that’s what we have the most of. I would like to see a museum somewhere between 25,000 to 50,000 square feet and include not only displays, but curation, collection facilities, and educational facilities. Students support a museum on the campus. Mulholland said, "I think Dickinson State would be a very good place for a museum, especially with research facilities for student use.” Prescott said, "It would give stu dents a better idea and a better under standing o f what they’re looking at and it would help them out when they’re reading about it.” Beierlein said, "It’s an excellent idea. Mr. League and everyone in volved should get credit for all the fossils they’ve found.”

12 Housing

tudents’ housing needs are as in dividual as the students them selves. Many options are available to those who want to reside in Dickinson while they attend the university, and several students have sought alternatives to living in Dickinson. But, for those who do want to live in this city, Dickinson State University tries to accommodate their prefer ences by offering a male dorm (Selke Hall), a female dorm (W oods Hall), a co-ed dorm (DeLong Hall), and mar ried student housing. Bud Etzold, DSU housing director, said students under the age o f 21 are required to live on campus unless cir cumstances make it impossible for them to do so. "Our administration feels strongly that there is a mandate to house stu dents and to see that they are fed,” he said. According to Etzold, the cost o f a double occupancy room on campus is $325 per semester or about $100 more than a monthly apartment rental. However, the largest expense in curred with dormitory life is the cost o f on-campus meals. Students in Selke, Woods and DeLong Halls are required to purchase a meal plan which costs $550, he said, bringing their total living expenses to $875 per semester. Etzold said that supplying adequate housing and food service to the uni versity’s student body is part o f its educational mission. And, during the 1990-91 school year, almost 350 students asked DSU to do just that. University housing was more attractive this year, according to Etzold, because rental prices in the

H 0

s 1

community had increased slightly. Students at DSU vary in their opin ions about living on campus. Shane Maher, a sophomore resident o f DeLong Hall, said, "It’s fun. We have our own suite, our own lounge. We don’t have to share a lounge with the whole dorm.” Another student, Amy Frank, agrees with Maher. " . . . [l]t is fun because you meet a lot o f people," she said. "And it is a lot less expensive.” On the other hand, a few students have tried campus life and didn’t care for it. "I got sick o f the rules, the RA ’s (resident’s assistant),” said Carrie Kalvoda. "It is nice to have some pri vacy, and it’s nice to have the ability to study any time you want. The dorm was so noisy.” She moved to an apart ment after living in the dormitory for two years. Lucille Torpen is a non-traditional student who wasn’t impress with dorm life either. "I lived in the dorm last year, and I felt awkward because I was so much older than everyone else. Plus I didn’t like having to buy the meal plan,” she said. This year she chose to commute to classes like many other DSU students who come from small towns in south western North Dakota and the sur rounding area. D SU ’s geographic lo cation attracts commuters from Glen Ullin, Beulah, Hazen, Killdeer and Hettinger, to name a few. Commuting is an alternative to a dormitory lifestyle or the expense of renting an apartment in Dickinson, but it creates a hardship o f a different kind. Torpen puts in a long day and

many miles a week driving from Scranton. "It does get old, but I don’t have school every day this year. I decided it was worth it to drive and spend more time with my family,” she said. DSU also has twenty-four married student housing units, and the univer sity filled twenty-one o f them this year. "It’s great that they have family stu dent housing,” said Heidi Perry, "but they could be updated. It would be really great to have carpeting.” She also said the university apartments are very small. Guy Lund and his two teenaged sons rent a family housing unit from the university. "It’s a pretty tight squeeze for the three o f us,” he said. "It’s called l-Vi bedrooms, but it’s really just one big room.” Even if the units are small, Lund said he likes the location and his neighbors are friendly. Another option is also available to some students at DSU. Stacey Anton thinks she has found the solution to the noise o f dorm life and the expense o f renting an apartment. It suits her best to remain at home with her family. She estimates she saves over $4,000 per year by living at home because her parents provide her with transporta tion and all the other necessities she would have to buy if she moved. "A lot o f people live in the dorm to get away from their parents," she said. "I have a good relationship with my parents. They are really a source of support; they even help with home work. I’m sure I would go nuts living in an apartment by myself.”

ntramural sports are popular on the campus o f DSU. Students, faculty, and community players get together for fun and exercise. Teamwork is a big part o f the game. Brad Kitzman said, "Bruce — my roommate — was getting the team together. He played at NDSU with the intramural team there. We actually got together on it and thought o f getting a team together.” Bobbi Fortier liked the idea o f meeting people. "I'd played college basketball last year for Glendive,” she said, "and I thought it’d be a fun way to meet people, which I did. It was something to do on a Wednesday night.” A lot o f the players have played college basketball and want to contin ue with the game. "My roommate and I played co l lege basketball last year and we just decided to get a team together this year to keep playing,” Lynn Gray said.

Ja ck Biesterfield took his fun seri ously. "These kind o f friends on my floor decided to get a team together. It was fun,” he said. "Y ou can play in the gym (during lunch hours) every day, but this is more competitive . . . It’s a lot more realistic.” He also noted he and his teammates are getting t-shirts. The logo for the team, 'Drooling Pygmies’, is "a short person with spit coming out,” he said, as his fingers stroked the corners o f his mouth. "Y ou know, Drooling Pygmies’. Beside it is a tall guy play ing. All you can see is his legs.” Intramural football draws a crowd at DSU. Some o f the guys play to get in shape, but Gene Brown is taking advantage o f the chance to practice. He said, "It gives me practice for next year because I want to play for the Blue Hawks.” The competition draws a lot o f players. More than a few said they

liked the sport and the exercise. "It's good exercise and I like the drive o f competition,” said Troy Trudell. Brad Kitzman said, "I’ll be playing for the Blue Hawks next year, and this is a good way to stay in shape and still be able to play competitively.” "I like sports,” Troy Vanveldhuizen. It’s a lot o f fun and it’s not as competitive as school sports.” Relaxing is not usually the way football is perceived except if you are watching it. It is to Todd Rodgers. "It’s relaxing and it gives me some thing to do,” he said. Doing something was the big an swer among the players. Justin Larsen said, "It’s something to do — to take up time.” "It's good exercise,” said Shad Miller, "and a way to get out o f house and do something.”

from a lack o f sleep and increased worry. She is carrying 17 credits, is president o f the Student Senate, and works about 40 hours a week. She said her schedule helps her avoid thinking about the war. She also noted her teachers have been very sup portive. She said her husband is serving as a m edic, far from the front lines. " I f he were on the front line, I probably w ouldn’t be able to function. I ’d probably be scared to death.” Heinz married D ec. 15, 1990. Her hus band, Dale, left D ec. 31. He arrived in the G u lf Ja n . 16, "ab o u t tw o hours after the bom bing started,” she said. They had originally planned a Ju ne wedding, but when D ale was called, they m oved the date up. She hopes to spend a lot o f private tim e with him upon his re turn. M any o f the military students noticed an increase in their attention to the news. " I watch whenever there's a special on, the nightly news, everything," said Marvin W hite, P fc. in the Guard. D obitz said that he also watches the news to see if he recognizes any o f his friends stationed in the G ulf. M any o f the military students noted a

rloser bonding am ongst them selves. "Y o u eel closer to the people because those people in the military understand better vhat’s going on over there,” K reh lick said. Heinz attends a support group through ler husband's unit. She said this is p robibly the best way for family m em bers to ;et support, because all the people in the init were sent as m edics to the sam e area. Several military students noted m ost o f he faculty and students support them luring this time o f their lives. As J o e Pebworth, Pfc. in the Army, said, 'N obody is for war. N obody wants war. 3ut a lot o f people think you have to do vhat has to be don e.”

WHERE WERE YOU? D eanne R afferty — Sophomore: "I was in my dorm room and I was watching the news. It was about 4:30 yesterday and I heard that they had already sent fighters into the air. I was really scared because I never wanted to have to worry about a war in my lifetime and now I do.” M ich elle Ram sey — Junior: "I was at Pizza Hut and 1 was getting ready to go. They turned the radio up and the announcer said that we had bombed Kuwait. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. It was hard to believe. 1 can’t believe that it happened. I don’t think that anyone knows why we’re there. I think (President) Bush could have done something different. I was thinking, whatever happened to waiting them out after the deadline as I’d heard they were on borrowed time. "A little bit after that, Bush came on the radio and it was like he was trying to justify what he had done by saying things like, 'I

had to do it,’ and all the stupid euphemisms that you use when you’re trying to get yourself out o f something bad that you did. "I also think he could have used better time judgment than he did. He jumped the gun. I’m kind o f disappointed in his judgment. I hope this is over soon and without a lot o f casualties.” K elly K ien en b erg er — Sen ior: "I was on my way to work and I felt a sadness and also I was glad that if something was going to happen, that we weren't all going to wonder when and where. We knew it was going to happen and it finally happened and we weren't wondering and waiting around any more.” J e f f J o s t — Junior: ”1 couldn’t sleep and so I got up at three in the morning and turned on the radio. The first thing I heard was that they were bombing Baghdad. They were playing a tape o f the bombs actually falling. At three in the morning I felt kind o f strange,

probably scared. I listened for about 15 minutes and decided I'd be better o ff not to listen to it. It made it hard for me to think about the rest o f my life.” Susan F isch er — Senior: ”1 was on the phone with my parents and I heard it on the news while I was talking to them. It really had no impact on me whatsoever.” Guy Lund — Junior: "Where was I? In my car. I was wondering when it was going to start. I guess thoughts went through my head that I hoped it was soon over. I’ve got a son that'll be 18 in three years and I hope it’s over long before that.” G lenda G oetz — Sophomore: "I was at home and it kind o f shocked me because I know a lot o f guys that are over there. I guess I knew it was basically coming be cause o f what Bush said about the deadline but I don’t think anyone really wanted it to happen."

ATHLETICS

. ..,

HAWKS DOMINATE fter a conference crown, D SU ’s title hopes ended in the NAIA II quarterfinals when Peru State (Nebraska) rallied from a 20 point first-half deficit to defeat the Blue Hawks 38-34 in Dickinson on a touchdown pass with 1:38 remaining. In the first half Rob Stanton scored the opening touchdown and Sam Johnson added the first o f two touchdowns. By the half Dave Ouellette and Dirk Kuntz had also scored to give DSU a 27-7 lead. But in the second half that lead evaporated in the face o f quarterback Nate Bradley’s attack, which resulted in four touchdown passes in the game. The Blue Hawks reached the quarterfinals after defeating Chadron State behind a two-touchdown effort from both Rob Stanton and Brian Zubke. Before the Peru State game, junior Rocky Han son and freshman kicker Je ff Hanson were injured in an automobile accident near Saskatoon, Sas katchewan over Thanksgiving vacation. Je ff Han son suffered two broken legs, a broken collarbone and shoulder, a bruised lung, broken ribs and a concussion. Rocky Hanson sustained bumps and bruises when the car in which they were driving slid on ice and left the road. A truck, attempting to stop, rear-ended their vehicle. Rocky did not play in the Peru game. The Hawks had tallied a winning, regular season before reaching the playoffs. Although DSU dominated the statistics, Mayville gave the Hawks their only conference loss when Hanson’s field goal attempt with 30 seconds remaining was blocked. DSU had 456 yards o f offense to Mayville’s 195. Minot State fell behind 27-0 in the first half, and the Hawks survived five first half fumbles to set up the crucial game against Valley City.

In the victory over Valley City, the Blue Hawks became co-champions with Mayville State and kept their playoff bids alive. In their first playoff game against Chadron State, D SU ’s defense limited Charon to 104 yards rushing with defensive end Mark Wandle making six tack les, and six assists and one quarterback sack. Zubke’s 70 yd. T D pass to Dirk Kuntz started the

scoring in the second quarter, and Stanton added two short touchdown runs. Dave Ouellette, Rory Farstveet, Rob Stanton, Mark Wandle, Lance Hofland, Rocky Hanson, Brian Zubke, and Sam Johnson were named to the All-NDCAC team. Stacy Wilson, Dan Brady, Jeff Hanson, Travis Lunda, and Kevin Morast received honorable mention.

TRACK and FIELD Track en’s and women’s track team members fared well this year. J o Lindquist, D SU ’s womens’ track coach, said the season will end with only four athletes, down from eight or nine. "We have lost people due to injuries, eligibility and medical problems” she said. Even though they are small in numbers, they are not low on talent. "Denise Fortier is a senior. She has done well running the 800, the 1,500 and the 3,000 (m eter),” said Lindquist. "Cathy Carlson who is the returning national champion on the javelin is also doing well.” Carlson competes with the shot put and added the discus to her scheduled events this year. Lindquist said the highlight o f her team’s season was the Bluehawks games. "Denise Fortier set two records in the 1,500 and 3,000 (meter run), and she was also named the outstanding female athlete o f the meet,” she said. The female athlete o f the year is determined by the coaches whose teams are represented at the Bluehawks games. D SU’s track season ends with the conference meeting on Saturday, May 11. "Those that qualify for the national meet will go to Stephenville, Texas, on May 23-25,” said Lind quist. Lindquist’s coaching career is also ending with this season.

After 13 years with DSU, she has accepted an other job in the Dickinson area. "There are mixed emotions,” she said. "I have numerous fond memories o f my teaching and coaching. I have been fortunate because I have coached a national champion and a North Dakota female college athlete o f the year.” The Dickinson State men’s track did well. "W e have a young squad, with only one senior on the team,” Arland Hofland, coach, said. "So far, we haven’t finished any lower than third in any o f the meets. The entire team has done an excellent job scoring points.” Mike Johnson and Randy Binstock scored a lot o f points for the team, Johnson ran the 3,000 meter steeple chase, and both ran in the 5,000 meter long distance races, he said.

"Overall, we were very competitive and place third in the conference.” In the men’s division, Randy Binstock led tl team all season,, Lemnus said. "The men’s tea: was very young, so we are only losing one perso Hopefully, next year will be a better one with Mil Johnson and Binstock returning.”

small number o f players made this year diffi cult for the women’s volleyball team. Nine members played on this year’s squad for new coach David Moody instead o f the regular number o f fourteen or fifteen. The shortage o f players meant players did not have the teammates to play against, said Moody. "The loss o f players reflected itself within the standing. We weren't deep enough to make an impact,” he said. "But we had a decent effort in the terms o f players on the court and their effort.” Although the team was hurt because it could not field a full complement o f players, Moody said that the Lady Hawks led the confer ence in number o f digs. The season had its high

points. "Valley City was a very exciting game for us,” he said. "W e were down 2-1 and came back without a full starting line up.” Moody pointed to the play o f Cathy Carlson, who was named to the NDCA’s first volleyball team. Carson said, in re flecting on the ups and downs o f the year. "It was more towards the disappointing side o f things until the end when we came together. There is a definite sign o f better things to come next year though.” The team’s record was 14-16 overall and 2-8 in conference play. Already recruiting by November for the 1991-1992 season, Moody was planning to put a full complement o f players on the floor next season.

SKILLS INCREASING he w om en’s team had a tou gh year, but Ja n e M cD an iel, w om an’s head basketball co ach , bridles at the idea that w om en can n ot play basketball as well as men. "Som e w om en are better than m en,” she says. "T h ey could play on a m en’s team . Can a man play o n a wom an's team ? Y es. It depends o n the person.” T he gam e has n ot changed that m uch in th e past few years, but w om en athletes’ skills have, she says. A lthough the basics o f the gam e remain the same, men, who are "physically different, n o t better” play m ore "in the air” than w om en do, she says. "T h ey ’re m ore above the rim and they play a quicker pace,” she says. But changes in societal attitudes m ean a change in w om en’s skills, she says. M ore people are interested in w atching w om en play basketball, and fam ilies with daughters now attend gam es, she says. And wom en are also willing to see them selves in different roles. "G irls are realizing that it is n o t a bad thing to g o into the weight room ,” she says. W ith these changes in a tti tudes on the pu blic’s part and with a change in w om en ’s self-perception, w om en will increase their skill levels, she says. "T h e biggest thing was holding them b ack was that society didn’t accept the fa ct that they were o u t sweating and w orking," she says.

TOUGH SEASON lthough this year’s basketball team posted a losing record, rule 1

ch anges in the g am e now dictate som ew hat how the B lu e Haw ks

must play the gam e. Sam M ilanovich, head basketball co a ch , points to three m ajor changes in the gam e w hich have changed co lleg e basketball in the last five years. He says the three point line has increased the tem po o f the actio n. B ecause the B lu e H aw ks lacked a large inside player, in response to the three point sh ot, they attem pted to slow the gam e dow n, M ilanovich said. But it is difficu lt to co n tro l the tem p o. D efen ses now m ust spread out o n the flo o r to co u nter the three-p oin ter, he said. "Y o u can 't run a co m p act defense because som eone is g oin g to score th ree.” T h e 4 5 -seco nd sh ot c lo c k has also speeded up the g am e’s tem p o, he said. Thirdly, players are physically larger and m ore aggressive now than in past years, he said, "I t is n o t longer a n o n -c o n ta c t sport. F o o tb a ll is a collision sport; basketball is a co n ta ct spo rt.” T h e loss o f som e key, large inside players to injuries in a fast-p aced gam e with larger players hurt the w o n -lo s t colum n. T h is year’s 9 -1 7 record, co m in g o f f last year’s 1 7 -1 0 season, m eant disappointm ent but not displeasure to M ilano vich, m en ’s basketball co ach . " I was not displeased, but I felt bad for the kids because the players w ould like to have w on m ore g am es," he said, pointing out that the team lost four starters from last year’s squad. "I t was frustrating to be so close. A t one point we had six gam es decided by a to tal o f 17 p o in ts.” "T h ey were g o o d , hard w orking kids w ho are very representative o f the institution and the com m unity,” he said. "U nfo rtu n ately , they ’re o ften judged by the w o n -lo st record. I d o n ’t ju d ge this potential group by that. W e’ll see benefits down the road."

REBUILDING YEAR lthough the wrestling team, hampered by in juries to key wrestlers, had a mediocre year o f 2-3, DSU recruiters will face a dwindling pool o f potential wrestlers from the high school ranks in future years. "You find a lot who don’t want to wrestle after their senior year,” Randy Duxbury, wrestling coach, said. Several reasons make it difficult for wrestlers to continue their interest in the sport, he said. "It’s physically demanding," he said. The long hours o f practice and conditioning eventually sap even the most dedicated wrestler. The physical stress o f the sport was evident this year as five DSU wrestler dropped o ff the mat because o f injuries. Hobbled were Travis Ellison, Justin Larson, Chuck Jardee, Troy Heisler, and Steve DeMers. Several others quit before the end o f the season, Duxbury said. The practice o f constantly cutting weight to make matches also causes a loss o f interest in the sport, Duxbury said. Duxbury thinks that the decline o f interest in wrestling in the area is probably reflective o f a nationwide trend. "It is starting to decline in popu larity,” he said. "There are not as many institutions that have wrestling programs now as compared to 10 years ago.” Trying to wrestle out o f "an up and down sea son,” Duxbury will see more recruits to replace those who opted out at the end o f the season. "W e’re looking forward to next year,” he said. J e ff Stewart catches his breath in the Blue Hawk Classic. (Photo by Steve Robbins) T h e 1 9 9 0 - 9 1 W r e s t lin g T e a m .

WOMEN ^LAYERS or the first time, three women netters played on a DSU women’s team. And they played in cold and windy weather. The men’s and women’s team finished with a record o f 2-4. DSU placed 4th in the conference tournament and sixth in the District Tournament. Brandon Marsh achieved a 5-3 record to lead an inexperienced team, which lost four seniors from last year’s championship team, Jim McDaniel, head coach, said. "We had one nice day to play,” she said, com menting on the weather. Because o f cold weather, two tournaments were canceled, matches which "cost us a lot o f experience.” She said, "As the season progressed, we im proved individually.” McDaniel said she hopes to field a full woman’s team next year.

IMPORTANT PLAYERS by

Lyvia Kadrmas he people behind the scenes keep the game together in all the athletic departments. Athletic trainers as well as scorekeepers and aids are as important as the team itself. Trainers do everything from physical therapy to taping o f injuries. The trainers at DSU are Lisa Thompson (head trainer); Pete Dobitz; Ben Steele; and Bennie Privratsky. Lisa Thompson, a graduate in athletic training, is contracted through St. Joseph’s Hospital in Dickinson. Lisa specializes in college athletic care and prevention o f athletic injuries. Lisa said, "It’s a growing field. Care and pre vention can cover a lot o f area. I really enjoy working with college level athletes and I enjoy the people at D SU .” All the trainers do taping and hot and cold treatments, but it is Lisa’s job to make evaluations and referrals. "If the injury cannot be properly

treated by the trainers, the athlete is referred to St. Joseph’s Hospital physical therapy and sports medicine department,” she said. Although the trainers work together, some work more in a certain area. Ben Steele works mainly with knees, since a knee injury ended his football career. Ben said, "I’ve had probably everything possi ble done to my knees, so I know a lot o f what needs to be done. It’s like my area o f concentra tion. I know the techniques for knee injuries.” Bennie Privratsky said, "W e all do pretty much the same things. There is a lot to be done, with so many athletes and so few trainers.” There are jobs in the athletic department that are not glamorous or even fun. These jobs in cluded monitoring wrestling times, preparing for wrestling tournaments, scorekeeping, and many other duties that must be done for the depart

ment. David Brown and Lisa Linseth are volunteers in this area. According to Randy Duxbury, wres tling coach, they do many different jobs. "It’s surprising how much there is to be done. Lisa and David to everything from taping the brackets on the floor to timing the matches. I don’t think they do it for the enjoyment. It’s a lot o f hard work,” he said. "Although they do get paid a small amount, it’s not very much considering all the work they do.” The people involved in athletics are not always athletes themselves. They are people who want to work for the good o f the team, showing their support and school spirit. B ennie Privratsky wraps David Ouellette’s ankl b efore football practice.

Senate faces new issues by

Lyvia Kadrmas :

he 1990-91 Student Senate had more than the usual college issues to deal with at DSU. If the general business o f running a student senate were not enough, this year’s senate also had the business o f replacing the homecoming ceremo ny with a new one. Although this was the foremost business, the senate faced business after Feb. 28th, 1991, without two o f its elected members, includ ing the president and vice-president. The meeting format was as it has always been. With the reading o f the minutes opening the meet ings, the Senate then addressed the issues at hand. Individual reports were heard, as well as the issues. According to Mary Erhardt, secretary, some is sues stayed on the agenda as long as six weeks. 'Some things just can't be taken care o f in one meeting,” she said, "and recurring matters come up

all the time. For example, we spent a lot o f time on the Gulf Crisis support system. The yellow ribbons you see all over the campus took a lot o f time, but it was a good outlet for all o f us. Especially Kim.” Kim Koehler Heinz was the president o f the senate. After getting married in December, Kim ’s husband, Dale, was shipped to Saudi Arabia. "It really set things back a lot, but you have to deal with things like that in life.” Kim said. "M y in volvement in the senate and especially the yellow ribbon campaign really helped me a lot. It kept me very busy so I didn’t have a lot o f spare time to dwell on the scary things.” Kim was one o f the officers who left the senate in Feb. to student teach in Terry, Montana. Another officer, Sandy Picken, also left office to student teach at Dickinson High School. Although

Mary Erhardt also went to student teach, her posi tion was filled by Lisa Kerzman. Lisa was elected to fill the secretary position for the 1991-1992 school year. Mary said, "It’s a position that can't be left empty. There have to be accurate minutes o f all the meetings. It’s a fun job, but it is a lot o f work. Jim (Ciavarella) is a lot o f help.” All the members o f the senate agreed that Diaverella was a great advi sor and lots o f fun to work with. The election results for 1991-92 school year were President-Thomas Heaton, Vice President - Rory Farstveet, and Treasurer-Kyle Kinstler. Senators include Lorelle Brackel, Darby Heinert, Cory Linster, Steve Merrigan, Nicole Riddle, Stacy Roshau, Kerryann Sayler, and Je ff Transtrom. Another project o f the senate was the mapping board set up in September. The board was set up in the Student Center to accommodate traveling stu dents who were looking for rides or people to share the expenses o f traveling together to a common destination. The board has proved very useful to students, especially during the holidays, student senators said. Other issues included the addition to the student center, training room bench replacement, and meals on weekends for students who live on cam pus. And with the discontinuance o f the home coming ceremony, a chairperson had to be elected for the committee to select a new ceremony. The homecoming issue was the lengthiest issue for the senate. It included many meetings and debates for everyone involved. Koehler said, "This is a big issue for all o f us. If it is discontinued, it means finding an alternative, which has to be done before April. Then a com mittee has to be formed to organize the new home coming ceremony and get it all ready before the end o f this school year. It means a lot o f work, but it is time for a change. I just hope everyone can work together to make it something we will all be happy with.” Change is sometimes the key to progress. And sometimes change is just what goes on a college campus.

Ambassadors serve DSU by Lyvia K ad rm as ublic relations is important to any universi ty. DSU is no exception. Mark Jastorff, Executive director o f Univer sity Relations and Alumni Affairs saw a deficit in this area at DSU, specifically involving stu dents in the promotion o f the school. Working closely with Kevin Thompson o f the Admissions office, Jastorff picked up on the idea from another university to start an organi zation called Student Ambassadors. "The charter members were chose from students rec ommended to us by faculty. There is a require ment that they carry at least a 2.5 grade point average.” Jastorff explains. "This group is different from others on cam pus in that it is made up o f students but is tied closely into the university. The nature o f the group requires leadership. Four or five o f our members are also on the student senate.” The student ambassadors do many things in the area o f public relations for the university. They give tours o f the campus to prospective students and their parents, help with parents and alumni groups. Earlier this year they helped out when the State Board o f Higher Education was

visiting the university. The honor o f being chosen as a student ambassador comes with some strings attached. The students must make a commitment to give at least five hours a week o f their time to the organization. Is it worth the time and effort? Roxanne Whaley, who has been an ambassador since the group started says she thinks it is definitely worth it. "I do it because I am proud to be going to DSU and I want to convey my enthu siasm to other students. Every one has time . . . it's just how you organize it.” Deb Hourigan, also a charter member, esti mates that she spends anywhere from 5-10 hours a week being an ambassador. "I just got done putting in quite a few hours for the celeb rity auction.” Hourigan was a member o f a party o f stu dents who made a trip to Black Hills state last semester to gain information on how they had conducted their auction. Armed with these helpful hints the Ambassador group embarked on a giant crusade to obtain items autographed by celebrities. "W e mailed out hundreds o f per

sonal requests to different celebrities.” Houri gan said. They received over 200 items. The items were auctioned o ff by the ambassadors in a part silent- part oral auction which raised nearly $2000 for the organization. The money is to help offset the costs for the group to attend a na tional convention o f Student Ambassadors in California this year. Pam Wilz who has also been an ambassador from the group’s beginning says that what m o tivates her is that the job is so rewarding. "There are so many good opportunities to meet alumni, people in the community and other students!” She adds, "It is something I really believe in. It’s a chance to do something for the students; interacting between the students and the uni versity.” Wilz admits there are times when she wonders where she will get the time but adds that since everyone involved really believes in the cause the group is very cohesive making the responsibility o f the position very rewarding. New ambassadors are chosen as needed to fill vacancies caused by graduation and other circumstances.

This honorary society’s busy by Diane Ja n d t | he Pi chapter o f Phi Sigma Pi, a DSU honor society, is making a irae for itself at DSU. In January, when Americans were rhting in the Persian Gulf, North akota’s college students wanted to : them know students cared. Phi gma Pi joined the DSU student sene in adorning the campus and 1-94 ith yellow ribbons. "We put ribbons lorning the campus and 1-94 with llow ribbons. "W e put ribbons from edora all the way to the Montana irder and back,” said Dennis Keller, esident o f the Pi chapter o f Phi Siga Pi. During the homecoming Phi Sigma held their second annual Je ll-O ;ht. Three teams — DeLong Hall, e Ambassadors and the Lawnmower ew — battled it out in a pool o f 1 -0 to aid the community. From is Pi was able to contribute food ms, collected as admission, and 00 to Dickinson's AMEN food ntry.

Other community projects Pi spon sored included helping deliver meals at Thanksgiving and Christmas for the Kris Kringle project in Dickinson, donating the cost o f swim time for Special Olympics, and cosponsoring DSU’s blood drive. "W e’re always looking for things to do in the com munity,” Keller said. "W e try to do one or two community activities a year.” Phi Sigma Pi is also quite busy on campus, starting early in the season. "W e help with homecoming. We help set up the streets for the parade,” K e l ler said. Phi Sigma Pi has also entered floats in the parade. Last year, they built a giant rocking horse and used the title "Rockin’ over the Jimmies.” For the game, they took the horse from their float and at each DSU touchdown, would run onto the track and rock the horse. Such antics fared well for Phi Sig ma Pi. "Every year we try and do

something different to get our name out,” Keller said. "W e won the spirit award the last two years in a row.” The award is presented at halftime during D SU ’s homecoming "to a group that supports the game.” Halloween night Pi held Monte Carlo night for students. The events included blackjack, roulette, poker, bingo, and horse racing. "It was so successful we do two a year,” Keller said. The games were also in the spring. Involvement in these and other Phi Sigma Pi activities help members de fray the cost o f national initiation fees. Phi Sigma Pi has also established a DSU scholarship fund for a Phi mem ber, and presented its first $100 schol arship in the spring. Another project was the national convention. "Every year we rent a van and go,” Keller said. Last year it was in Annapolis, Md. with a one-day stopover in Washington, D.C. for sightseeing and tours.

With all this activity, Phi Sigma Pi still finds time to build and maintain group unity. "W e consider ourselves a social fraternity,” Keller said. "We stress fellowship — we have lots o f social activities.” Phi Sigma Pi gets together for so cial events that include the families. Some o f these include Christmas and Halloween parties, the initiations, and a graduate party. "Sometimes we go over to somebody’s house and rent a couple o f videos. Everybody brings different things to eat and we just have a good time,” said Keller. "Last time we did that, we had a blast!" Such events are planned by a social committee in the group. Chartered in 1932, Phi Sigma Pi was the first fraternity at the college, where it remains active except for five years in the 1980s. To join Phi Sigma Pi, a student must have completed 12 cred its with a grade point average o f 3.0 or higher.

Hey, gimme a light, Scott by Diane Jan d t ights! Camera! Action!” T o many o f us. this brings thoughts o f being on stage, ready to perform. T o Scott Mollman, sopho more at Dickinson State University, this means something totally differ ent. Mollman is seeking his fame in theater lighting. Mollman hopes to get his bache lor’s degree in theater at DSU, then work toward a master's degree. From there, he wants to get a job in theater, working his way up the ranks in lighting design. "My main goal," said Mollman, "would be to get in a theater, maybe overseas. But that’s pretty far off." Scott M ollman works in the light booth in Stickney. (Photo by Steve Robbins)

Currently, Mollman is working in the theater department at DSU. His work includes set construction and light design, where he draws light plans, circuits the lights and runs the light boards. He spend two to three hours a day working in the theater and as much time as possible there on his own. Mollman finds it difficult to bal ance work, school, and an outside job, but says, "I enjoy theater so much I'd rather work it out. I’d rath er sit in the theater and not work than sit at home and not work be cause I just enjoy the atmosphere.” "My favorite thing is the accom plishment,” said Mollman. He likes to be asked instead ot being expect ed to work a show.

A Dying Tradition? by Tiffany H agen oes cheerleading serve a purpose or is it an I •' old tradition, no longer important in a socity which is changing its definition o f the role o f roman? Detractors o f the tradition exist. "All female heerleaders are for is to hold male spectators’ ttention during halftime, penalties, and time outs, 'he reason for this is they wear short skirts and ight tops, flaunt their underwear, and shake their losoms,” says one DSU sophomore, who preferred o remain anonymous. Some people agree that this is the only purpose if a cheerleader, that most cheerleaders are snobs, nd that there is no work involved in cheerleading. Others, such as part-time team mascot Art Ceiss, feel, however, that accusations are not true, fe says, "There are always some people that think

cheerleaders are snobs, but they’re not.” The cheerleading outfits may be one o f the main causes for the accusation that cheerleaders are "sex objects”. But, as sophomore football cheerleader Sasha Brownlee sees it, the short skirts as part o f the uniform are just tradition. Steve Merrigan, a senior at DSU who attended all o f the 1990 football games, feels that the pur pose o f cheerleading is to generate excitement in the crowd to help fire up the team. "Sometimes the crowd jokingly says that cheerleaders aren’t need ed, but the simple chants do help the crowd. I think we need cheerleaders." Senior Shelly W olff agrees that cheerleaders have a constructive purpose. "They (cheerleaders) are the ones that give the team and crowd spirit.” Jolyne Perdaemes, a Hawk football cheerleader,

feels that the crowd does acknowledge the cheer leaders positively under certain conditions. "When we do short cheers that they can catch on to and participate in and when the game gets exciting, they cheer with us.” The cheerleaders put a lot o f time and effort into cheerleading, cheerleaders say. Besides practice and games, they try to show good sportsmanship to the other schools. During homecoming week, they baked cookies for the team, decorated the locker rooms and the gym, and made a lot o f posters. They also helped to make tickets for the playoff games, Perdaimes said. Even though cheerleaders might seem unneces sary at times, without them, DSU football and basketball games would lack a tradition that cheer leaders and fans recognize and expect.

Group tours London sites by Diane Ja n d t

hen a man is tired o f London, he is tired o f life . . . ” This juotation from James Boswell's The Life o f (Samuel) John son , summed ip Rich Haptonstall’s feelings about he 1991 London Study Humanities four. Aboard the plane bound for Lonlon March 16 were Dianne Witte, ^eslie Chaska, Tara Schaefer, Rich Taptonstall and Scott Mollman o f Dickinson State, Theresa Olson and Stephanie Jorganson, DSU alumnus rom Bottineau, and Jean Walders, our leader. Their second day in London, the ;roup began visiting various cities, dewing sites such as the Globe Theiter, Westminster Abbey, York Minter Abbey, Roman bathhouses, and he Convenantry Cathedral. Everyone seemed to agree "Les Misrables” was their favorite play. 'The music was moving . . . very -noving,” said Tara Schaefer. "The set, :he production, was phenomenal. I earned a lot just watching that.” Beyond that, everyone had other memorable stops in their tour. One of Waldera’s favorite spots was the Cathedral in Covenantry. "It’s fun for me when one o f my students un derstands and appreciates it as much as I did,” Waldera said. The highlight for Rich Haptonstall was the shows he saw. His favorite, after "Les Miserables,” was "Henry IV, Part I,” seen at the Shakespeare Memorial Theater at Stradford-uponAvon. Leslie Chaska’s second favorite play was "Two Shakespearian Actors.” She also enjoyed a tour o f the Brit ish Museum. "It held a lot o f Greek architecture," she said. "I have a lot o f interest in Greek civilization.” While at the museum, she saw the mummy o f Cleopatra and a peasant girl. The girl "was in a crypt, but she wasn’t wrapped. I was interested in it. I like the study o f ancient cultures,” said Chaska. The favorite spot for Tara Schaefer was Stradford-upon-Avon. "The a t mosphere o f the town was wonder ful,” said Schaefer, her voice capturing the mystical quality o f her memories. "The people were so friendly; the town was beautiful.” She also noted it was "strange” g o

ing into Westminster Abbey. "There are people buried in the floor and you’re walking on graves,” she said. Although this couldn’t be helped, it took some getting used to, Schaefer said. Schaefer shared several o f her tour adventures. One day, while in The Dirty Duck, a pub across the street from the Royal Shakespeare Theater company, she talked with several B rit ish actors. ”1 was just having a cup o f coffee and one o f the actors came up. We sat down outside and started talk ing theater talk,” said Schaefer. Several other actors joined the conversation, discussing how their cockney accents interfered with using proper English in their plays. Schaefer also noted the actors don’t rehearse on stage; instead, they practice in a room at the top o f the theater. Schaefer and Chaska also attended a live production o f the "Rocky P ic ture Horror Show,” which has a cult following. "It was great,” said Schaefer. "I had the soundtrack since junior-high, so I knew the songs. The audience participation (common with that show) was great. The people who did it sounded just like in the movie!” In contrast to these special memo ries, there were some drawbacks. "The people take you aback,” said Haptonstall. "Y ou expect people to be friendlier. Sometimes you forget where you are.” The cost also caused some concern. "The prices in London are about twice what they are here,” said Chaska. "I was surprised when I returned with five pence, which is a dime.” The cost is one reason Walders will not be conducting any more tours. "I think I’ve done enough now,” she said. "The prices in London were so high for basic things like food and transportation. That is somewhat dis couraging to me. The basic expenses are very high compared to previous years. We tried to keep it as affordable as we can for students.” Her love o f London, however, was not diminished. ”1 can’t imagine not going to London,” she said. "It’s wonderful to live in Dickinson and then be able to go and gorge on a big city for two weeks. But I’m happy to be home and I appreciate Dickinson all the more when I come back.”

78 O rgan ization s

He can handle it by Lyvia K ad rm as student’s lifestyle can change from year to year. Such is the case for Anthony Wilier, a rphomore marketing and advertising major at •SU. In July o f 1990 Anthony was diagnosed as aving Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. Anthony said, "The biggest change for me is atting back on my education and my activities, m one o f those people who hates sitting still. I ave to be busy.” Being a "real busy person” is an understatement n Anthony’s part. Besides a 19-hour class load, he a member o f several organizations and worked 38 ours a week. Anthony’s illness made a big change in his thedule. His class time was cut in half, and he was

not able to work. He said, "It is really hard to be so limited, but I do have hobbies I enjoy. Any sport there is interests me. I also like to work on model cars and airplanes.” The most dangerous time for victims o f leuke mia is between the ages o f 13 and 17. At the time o f diagnosis Anthony was 19. "I have several factors in my favor,” he said. "M y age was a major factor. The fact that I was in good physical condition. I don’t drink, and I don’t do drugs. I want to en courage kids to remember that you never know what’s going to happen. Take care o f yourself and don't do drugs. If you are on drugs and you ever have to go through chemotherapy, you may not come out o f it sane.”

"How things could have turned out" really scared him After several weeks o f not feeling well in June 1990, he went to doctors in Dickinson. He was diagnosed as having tonsillitis by one doctor and mononucleosis by another. By the end o f June, his family and friends convinced him to go to Bis marck to a specialist. On July 2nd he entered Med Center expecting a tonsillectomy. "I never expected it to be anything serious. I’m just glad they talked me into going. My white count was down so low I came within 4 days o f being gone,” he said. "That's when things got really scary. I’ve never had anything more than minor football injuries. At least now they know what it is and can treat it.” The treatment included blood transfusions, che motherapy, and possible bone marrow transplants. A blood drive was organized for Anthony in July. ”1 want to thank everyone for their donations and their prayers and kindness,” he said. "But, I don’t like to be a big deal. I don’t want to be treated special. It's something that happens and I can deal with it.” Anthony must keep a close count on both his white and red blood cells as well as the count on his platelets. The series o f chemo treatments will continue through October 1991, and the improve ment since his release from the hospital is promis ing. The leukemia is in remission. "The prognosis is great! The treatments are going good and if I stay in remission for 5 years I get a clean bill o f health. I have a lot to be thankful for,” he said. He said, "The part that really scared me the most was how it could have turned out.” He was told by his doctors that bone marrow transplants are not always easy. Family donors are rarely compatible, but in Anthony’s case, all six of his brothers and sisters are compatible donors. If Anthony needs the transplant, he will have to travel to Omaha, Neb., and spend the two weeks before and the seven weeks after in the hospital. He said, "Even after the 7 weeks it would be months before I could do anything. I couldn't even go to school.” Anthony has an optimistic outlook. "Mental attitude is the best help. Remember, whatever it is, you can battle anything!” With that kind o f determination the Buffalo Bills could have won the Super Bowl. Especially with him rooting for them.

THROUGH Academic Challenges tudents were busy this year preparing for life after D ick Â inson State by taking general class requirements as well-as exploring m ajor fields o f study. They learned through lectures, long study hours, and hands on experience. Academ ics were varied. For example, students exhibited their artwork in the M indâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eye Gallery. The Western Concept reported on controversial subjects. Student social workers served in various local agencies. T hroughout the year students poured over text books in the library, in the Student Center, and in dorm study room s. W hatever their chosen profession or m ajor, students entertained opinions about changes in their future.

Many Hats by R en ee B easley -Jo nes ome days he wears a business suit, and some days he wears a Dickinson State University windbreaker with casual slacks. Jim Ciavarella, D i rector o f the Student Center, wears many hats on campus as well. Along with the regular duties connected with his position at the university, Ciavarella serves as an advisor to the Campus Activities Board and the Student Senate. He said he is also involved in other areas related to the student body. "I have the opportunity to see to the cultural, spiritual, social, educational, political, and leader ship needs o f our students,” Ciavarella said. "I include spiritual because I work closely with the Catholic student association and the Lutheran stu dent group, and I also serve on the United Ministry in Education Committee.

82 Administration

A North Dakotan, Ciavarella was born in Mandan and graduated from Mandan High School. He attended Dickinson State University from 1969 to 1973 and received a Bachelor o f Science in Education degree with a major in speech. Ciavarella has been involved with the university for over twenty years as a student, alumnus, and employee. During that time, he has seen student organizations become more achievement oriented. "It appears that the most successful groups on campus focus their mission on leadership opportu nities and provide enhancement o f their academic experiences. There seems to be little interest in strictly social groups evidenced by the deactivation o f both Greek sororities and fraternities on cam pus.” But in some says the DSU o f the 1970s is like the

DSU o f the 1990s. Ciavarella said, "In almost ever) department, I can identify a number o f professors Dr. Larson, Dr. Wheeler, Dr. Jensen, Cal Lunberg Dr. Stump, Russell Veeder, and Jean Waldera. ) have the greatest respect and admiration for these people." And Ciavarella has other fond memories o f the university. Although he and his wife, Gloria, had attended high school together, he said it wasn't until their sophomore year at DSU that they began a serious relationship. After graduation Ciavarella became a teacher for the Harvey Public School District where he taught speech, English, and theater. One year later he and Gloria decided to return to Dickinson. "After four years o f university life,” Ciavarella said, "we had established a strong liking

CHANGE University mission evolves over time by R en ee B easley -Jo nes k /§ etamorphosis is an excellent term describ ing the history o f Dickinson State UniversiIn the past, noticeable changes have taken place the student body, student services, and the mison o f the institution. Each has played a role in :veloping DSU, the only university located in (uthwestern North Dakota. DSU’s administrators have been active particiints in past changes which have occurred on impus. The number o f years they have been assoated with the university varies from Dr. Winifred ump, Dean o f the School o f Arts and Sciences, ho came to DSU in the fall o f 1962, to Dr. Albert 'atrel, president, who has spent 13 years at the stitution. However, they have all witnessed langes, and they also have visions for the univer:y’s future. One o f the most important changes on campus is been a gradual shift in the student body. Dr. 3in Jensen, Vice President for Academic Affairs, marked on the increased enrollment o f the olderan-average students which began approximately /e years ago. "We started off with maybe five to ten percent what you might call older-than-average sturnts. And we’re very close to 40 percent o f people ho are 24 and older. So it’s the make-up o f the udents that’s changing,” Jensen said. And older-than-average students do not com•ise the only sector o f the student body which has rperienced tremendous growth in past years. Acxding to Roger Huffman, Director o f Admisons and Registrar, the enrollment o f women has icreased dramatically. Huffman said, "In the 1940s, we had more men n campus than women. Our institution at one me was nearly two to one — boys over girls, oday it is 60-40 — women.” But the rise in enrollment in the non-traditional rgments o f the student body is not the only area niversity administrators have seen escalate. Costs lvolved in attaining a higher education have limbed as well. "Back in the 1950s, when I attended school, my rition and fees and included book rentals — 'hich was available then-would run between $28 nd $32 a term,” Huffman said. "The costs are rohibitive now,” he stated. However, along with rising tuition and fees, aVernJessen, Dean o f Student Services and Di;ctor o f Financial Aid, commented that the budet o f the financial aid program has also risen to

help meet students’ needs. According to Jessen, in 1963, only $200,000 was available to students through grants, loans, and scholarships. That amount has risen to approxi mately $3.5 million today. "I think our institution had a scholarship pro gram o f about $1,500 when I first arrived,” Jessen said. Today scholarships alone exceed the amount which was available for the entire financial aid program in 1963. Also, students currently attending DSU have access to other services which were not available in the past. According to Huffman, "I think the regis trar’s office today provides many more times the services to the students that they did before.” Huffman recalls that transcripts were written out by hand in the 1950s. Eventually, they were typed out individually. But now, he commented, the reg istrar’s office is computerized, so the process is more efficient for students and personnel. Also, the registrar’s office now has a computerized gradu ation audit available for students, Huffman said. Stoxen Library, Huffman stated, has also exper ienced positive developments in student services. "Our library now is tied to all the libraries in the upper midwest,” he said. Students are accommodated in other ways as well, Huffman stated. "Programs for majors and minors are not structured as tightly now as they were,” he said. Along with these changes, Dr. Winifred Stump, Dean o f the School o f Arts and Sciences, sees two differences at DSU. One is the most outstanding faculty she has seen on campus; that change is easy to identify. The other noteworthy difference Stump recognizes is more abstract. "I really think our mentality has changed,” she said. Stump recalled the three phases she has played a role in at DSU: the teacher’s college phase, the college phase, and the university phase. Stump said, "I never thought that a name was that important, but I think that we have moved from the teacher’s college to begin to conceive of ourselves as a university.” "When I came here,” Jensen said, "it was almost exclusively a teacher education institution in which roughly 80 to 90 percent o f the students were in teacher education.” According to Jensen, teacher education is still a very important program at DSU, but other areas have experienced growth. Another university administrator agrees. "Not that teacher education still isn’t important; it still is

an important part o f our majors, but the percent of our student body going into education is consider ably lower than it was when I first came,” Jessen said. "W e have developed some very, very strong programs in business, accounting, computers, and nursing,” he continued. The expansion from a teacher’s college to a university has taken place so DSU could better meet the needs o f its student body. According to Dr. Albert Watrel, President, "One o f the biggest changes we’ve seen is more global education — international education. Before people were pre paring students for jobs in the United States and even then most were preparing students to study within the state they lived." Recalling changes from DSU’s past is a much easier task than trying to envision what the future may hold, but university administrators realize that changes o f the future are at the institution’s door step. "W e see education as just booming,” said Huffman. Huffman stated, "Some universities in North Dakota are looking at touchtone registration which is registering for classes by telephone, and it is going to come.” Huffman believes the affects o f computerization will be realized beyond the registration process in the years ahead. As the amount o f classwork being done on computers increases, he said he anticipates a future need for computers to be installed in every dorm room. Also, administrators feel that there will be alter native forms o f the delivery o f learning in the future. "W e are just starting to move into the arena o f telecommunications. That is obviously some thing that will be front and center in the years ahead,” said Jessen. Among changes envisioned for academic offer ings, Jensen sees the institution expanding its role in the regional area. "I see the institution involved more with the communities in southwestern North Dakota in areas o f all forms o f life-long learning.” And Stump said she expects future enrollments at DSU to grow. She concludes the university is in a prime location for students who will not be able to leave the region to receive an education. Watrel chose not to dwell on what future changes may happened at DSU, but he contem plated the coming years from a different perspec tive. "The future o f higher education is in schools like Dickinson,” he said.

for the community, so I returned to accept a posi tion at Trinity High School.” He taught there for three years before entering a wholesale/retail busi ness with two DSU professors. And prior to applying for the position as direc tor o f the Student Center, Ciavarella was a full time, temporary teacher for the Dickinson School District. He said that job brought him to the realization that he needed to become involved in an education atmosphere again, so he applied for his current position at DSU. An interest in education runs strong in the Cia varella household. Gloria is a second grade teacher

at Dickinson’s P.S. Berg Elementary. Also, they have three children attending school in Dickinson: Kari, 17, and Jayme, 14, attend Dickinson High School; and David, 7, attends Jefferson Elementary. Ciavarella serves as president o f the Dickinson school district. As to the future o f public schools, he said they will become more educationally diverse in order to prepare students for a global society, and even greater emphasis must be placed on technology in curriculum development. His term as president o f the school board expires June 30, 1991, but he said he will not run for

reelection. "The balance between this position, the publi school system, my family, and a few hours for slee consume each week,” he said. Ciavarella commented that he and his family ar proud to be part o f the Dickinson community an its educational opportunities. "I think it is considered a privilege to be assoc: ated with a fine Student Association, administra tion, faculty, and staff like we have at DSU,” 1 said. "As well, I am very proud o f the Dickinso community.”

THE FU TU RE

Education by T V to serve the state by M ark Jasto rff Public Relations D irector f

I teaching by television was predicted to be X the wave o f the future in the Sixties. It was a wave that never hit the beach. Today, tele communications is on the horizon for North Dakota. Education by television is coming to South western North Dakota and it will be here sooner than many anticipated according to Dr. Winnie Stump, Dean o f the School o f Arts and Sciences at Dickinson State University. Stump served on the North Dakota Higher Education Telecom munications Advisory Council before her retire ment in December.

84 Education

The Council has been striving for a workable system since the adjournment o f the legislature. "There are many details to work out before the on-line target date o f August 1990," Stump said. Dickinson State University, a part o f the Higher Education Telecommunication N et work, will serve as one network line. The application o f a state-wide system are virtually limitless. Dr. Stump clicked o ff a host o f opinions: heal care professionals will share the latest techniques without spending hours and resource to attend a conference. University level courses could be taught anywhere in the region with a demand. Workshops and seminar on any subject would be available statewide, rather than limited by space or distance. Fire

fighters could receive additional training at little expense. "The list goes on and on,” she said. The educator pointed out that the ability to provide interactive television course may be a boon to schools forced to offer certain classes in face o f new entrance requirements at North Dakota university. The network will not be limited to commu nities with fiber optics or a special type of wiring. It appears that the network will utilize both fiber optic and cooper lines as well as microwave or satellite transmission. That is ex tremely important to the success o f the technol ogy in Western North Dakota. "What it means is not one will be cut off from the system,” explained Stump.

EXTENDED? What should the U.S. do to catch up? by Lyvia K adrm as

n the scale o f academic attendance and success the students o f the United States are on the bottom o f the list compared with students in the Asian and European countries according to the International Association Evalu ation of Educational Achievement (IEA ) In accordance with this, American students stand out for how little they work and how poorly they do. At the top o f the list is Japan, West German, and South Korea. Japanese and German students attend school 220 to 243 days a year. American students attend school an average o f 180 days a year. Lack o f days o f attendance supports the idea by other countries that American students work less academically than almost any one else. Ip the 1960’s the (IEA ) began to access the quality of education around the world. In the most recent mathematic assessment in American students ranked thirteenth. Their counterparts in Japan rated first in all mathematical categor ies. On an average o f ail countries surveyed the U.S. stu dents came out lowest o f any country. Mr. Bill Massey, DSU algebra and calculus professor explains that this degree o f difference in education starts in the elementary school. “In Japan, the students spend more time in the day on mathematics. The major importance is that they stop arithmetic in the fifth or sixth grade and go on to higher levels o f math. They also use calculators in the higher grades." As Mr. Massey explains, school is the top priority for students in the higher rating countries. "Another thing that is important in the math field is the students in the U.S. spend and average o f ten minutes a day on math. If the time they have was better utilized, it would make a major differ ences in these studies o f education comparison, he said, "but you must keep in mind that by the time a student finishes college in the U.S. he is way ahead o f a student from Japan.” In a science assessment, also done by IEA, the U.S. students ranked eighth in the study. This particular assess ment was done on students in advanced fields o f study. In rankings with students o f twelve other countries Americans ranked eleventh in chemistry, ninth in physics, and last in biology. These are only a beginning o f the results o f the IEA’s studies, yet the problem is no nearer being resolved at the present as it was when these studies came out. This problem is o f major importance to the U.S. The Atlantic Monthly states that more time must be applied to see quality results from American students: "The United States faces a time-in deficit every bit as serious as the trade deficit and the balance-of- payments problem: each year, American chil dren receive hundreds of hours less schooling than many o f their European or Asian mates, and the resulting harm promises top be cumulative and lasting.” Joni Parks, a Spanish education major agrees with this line o f thinking. "As a future educator, I definitely think there is a problem. Especially for the student who does wants more education. I, like all students, (especially co l lege students) love my summers, but even a two or three week longer school year would help. Even smaller classes would help, more individualized attention.” It would appear that a longer year could make a differ ence. Many students will admit that they never complete the text in some courses. This may in fact, show that students in other countries master more material because they get far ther along in the lessons. The studies show students are more school orientated in other countries. In Asian coun

tries, students do not get jobs during school and spent more time with studies. Deb Westeriund, a freshman at DSU feels students in all areas o f learning could utilize their time better. "I think if they brought more homework home while they were in school they would learn lots more. A longer school year would burn-out kids these days. I have a sixth grader and an eight grader and neither one bring home very much home work. I just don't think a longer school year is the problem. Besides, that’s when they go to Grandma’s, and we all relax!” . Summer vacation is a time for most Americans to do the things they can’t do during the school year. Mary Jane Kueivanen-Ader suggests there has to be time for employ ment. "When in the world would a person have to time work? Especially on the college level, we have to have jobs that will help finance a college education. A break for the mind is not at all a bad idea either.” she said. Joyce White, Director o f Counseling at DSU agrees with the critics who charge that younger students tend to forget over the summer what they learned the previous year. Mrs White said, "A lot o f catch up work is necessary in the fall. I think there could be a way to improve the system we have now. Society has a different structure now than just a few years ago.” This difference includes working parents and one parent homes where studies, yet the problem is no nearer being resolved at the present as it was when these studies came out. This problem is of major importance to the U.S. The Atlantic Monthly states that more time must be applied to see quality results from American students: "The United States faces a time-in deficit every bit as serious as the trade deficit and the balance-of- payments problem: each year, American children receive hundreds o f hours less schooling than many o f their European or Asian mates, and the resulting harm promises top be cumulative and lasting.” Joni Parks, a Spanish education major agrees with this line o f thinking. "As a future educator, I definitely think there is a problem. Especially for the student who does wants more education. I, like all students, (especially co l lege students) love my summers, but even a two or three week longer school years would help. Even smaller classes would help, more individualized attention.” It would appear that a longer year could make a differ ence. Many students will admit that they never complete the text in some courses. This may in fact, show that students in other countries master more material because they get far ther along in the lessons. The studies show students are more school orientated in other countries. In Asian coun tries, students do not get jobs during school and spent more time with studies. Deb Westeriund, a freshman at DSU feels students in all areas o f learning could utilize their time better. "I think if they brought more homework home while they were in school they would learn lots more. A longer school year would burn-out kids these days. I have a sixth grader and an eight grader and neither one bring home very much home work. I just don’t think a longer school year is the problem. Besides, that’s when they go to Grandma's, and we all relax!” Summer vacation is a time for most Americans to do the things they cant do during the school year. Mary Jane Kueivanen-Ader suggests there has to be time for employ ment. "When in the world would a person have to time work? Especially on the college level, we have to have jobs

that wilt help finance a college education. A break for the mind is not at all a bad idea either.” she said. Joyce White, Director o f Counseling at DSU agrees with the critics who charge that younger students tend to forget over the summer what they learned the previous year. Mrs White said, "A lot o f catch up work is necessary in the fall. I think there could be a way to improve the system we have now. Society has a different structure now than just a few years ago.” This difference includes working parents and one parent homes where children spend a lot o f time in day care facilities. "W e are wasting opportunities with our chil dren,” said Mrs. White, " I don't think we need longer school years, just more productivity in the time we have. Children have different plateaus in life and that includes education. We have to adjust to these plateaus.” Michele Chester and Susan Scully are both married stu dents at DSU and military wives. They face a problem that many military students face. Susan said, "It would be almost impossible for me to ever finish my education if the school year was any longer. The quarter system worked better for me. My husband is in the service and moving from place to place is always a consideration. I don’t know how many schools I or my children would have to attend to ever get finished. It just doesn’t sound feasible to me.” Michele is also a military wife. Michele agreed that the quality o f education could be better, "I really think some thing should be done. There are some beneficial aspects to having longer school years. Or, on the college level maybe some o f the younger students should sit up front where the OTAs sit and they could learn better,” Michele said,” "I am truly amazed at how dumb some students are on the college level." Dr. Tom Jensen, Vice President Academic affairs at DSU does not feel an extended school would be necessary. Sever al factors enter in to his opinion. "In my opinion, if we did a better job o f utilizing the 180 days we have and not worry about extending the year we’d meet with a lot more pro gress. If we could keep the learning time steady, we would accomplish a lot more in that time,” Jessen added. "A lot of it has to do with all the extra demands on students these days." These extra demands, in Jessens mind, include sex education, drug education, and alcohol education. "We need to decide what the priorities are for our schools. They are spending more and more time taking the place of parents. The time our young people spend on these things take away from time allocated for the basics o f an educa tion.” he said. He is also concerned with the financial aspects o f an extension. Increased numbers o f school days could mean as much as a 5 0 % funding increase. Jensen said he does not see this happening in the U.S. for different reasons. "Another major problem I see,” said Jensen, "is that if we start extending the school year we are going to change the whole vacation pattern in the U.S. and that’s touchy. I don’t see any indication o f interest with that in mind.” Whether o f not the U.S. wants to acknowledge the fact that students are suffering academically remains to he seen. T o follow that with steps for improvement may not be as easy (or as hard) as extending the school. Equalizing the educational time clock may be a step in the right direction. The question to the answer is yet unseen; quality time or more time?

NEW METHODS Teaching the arts changes with technology by Lyvia K adrm as

hanges in the methods o f teaching the arts — ^theater, music, and art — at DSU have been substantial over the last twenty-five years. Some professors have seen drastic changes at times, and others have observed some subtle changes. Jean Waldera, associate professor o f speech and theater, said the main change in teaching lies in videos. "With the availability o f video tapes, great theater literature is available to the student in the most isolated area. The advancement through vid eo tapes is unbelievable. The students can see the world’s greatest actors perform in masterpieces that were never available to them before. "Plays were written to be performed by actors and seen by the human eye, not just read from a book. Because o f videos we can appreciate and enjoy them, as well as learn from them, as they were meant to be appreciated.” Jo e Legate, assistant professor o f theater, has a different idea o f the changes in the last twenty-five years. "I think, as an artist, the prevalence o f cen sorship is among the biggest changes. I am the type o f person who can never be told no. If someone tells me I can’t do something, I will bend over backwards to try and do it. "As an example,” he said, "consider the censor ship o f music o f the lyrics o f the group 2 Live Crew. To me this is misinterpretation o f the laws to suit a chosen group or groups. The Constitution gives us the right o f freedom o f speech, not just pretty speech, but all speech.” Legate also sees a difference in the subject mat ter o f today’s theater. "I think the main difference has to do with the issues brought out in today's theater as compared to twenty years ago. There are different controversies, and much more freedom now than in the sixties and seventies. It is easier to take a professional approach to the theatre and to convey meaningful messages. For a while, our country went through a surge o f conservatism. People were fearful o f the effects o f the theater arts.” Legate said he has never been censored by the DSU administration. "I would suffer more being milk and toast about something rather than being controversial. Especially here at DSU I have never felt like our shows had to be nice to be good

shows.” "O f course, the best thing about change is the advanced technology in theater production today. We can put on better shows with all the wonderful advancements in the technical theater.” Katrina Callahan-Dolcater, art instructor, found changes in the nature o f art instruction. "The na ture o f art has changed over the last twenty years. Traditionally, there was not crossover in art forms, no mixing o f the arts themselves. It’s really hard to specialize in art these days. An artist must be aware of all the art forms, as well as modern technology, such as computer imagery and graphics.” "One o f the great advancement in teaching arts is breaking down o f the boundaries in the studio,” she said. "Years ago artists hung out with artists, photographers with photographers. Now photog raphers paint on their photos, print makers use photography, sculptors are now painting their works, instead o f just glazing them. The opportu nities are endless. It makes teaching so much broader.” "Teaching art today is much more than it was twenty years ago. It is an idea that explains — what you are trying to say is as important as how you say it. It is not enough to just be technically good anymore. An art teacher today has the responsibil ity o f teaching students that, as well as art itself,” she said. Dr. Elwood Brown, music professor and vocal coach, feels the main change in teaching today lies in methodology and again, technology. "I can’t stress methodology enough to my stu dents, whether they are going into teaching or another field o f music. Professors change their methods to suit the needs o f individual students. Years ago the emphasis was on teaching a student to prepare him or her for a professional career in music. Today we must prepare our students for teaching music. I don’t encourage my students to go into professional music careers.” Brown feels that emphasis on competition de feats the learning process because there are thou sands in the field and many never succeed. He stressed the teaching and disciplinary methods o f today. "Discipline today is totally different. It is much looser. Children must learn that music is one

o f the disciplined areas o f the arts. Concentration i a must to succeed.” As in other professions, technology is a majo change in the music classroom. "Teaching witl computers is a giant step,” he said, "but the great est change may be found in the quality o f thi sound o f CDs as opposed to recordings. Nothinj can replace the sound o f a live concert, but th reproduction is so much better.” He also foresee great changes in electronics in the music field. All the professors seem to agree that the majo change in teaching is in technology. And none o them argue that the methods, as well as the stu dents and professors, make up a great part o f thes changes.

This year’s works included a National Women’s ainting Show and a show by C. Bob Schwieger o f linot. The Ukrainian Cultural Institute, one o f the lore popular shows, returned this year. It was cpanded from last year, and was given a more nportant position in the gallery. In April, Mary C. Scott displayed an installation ork. Scott, o f El Paso, Texas, built a piece that

filled the whole gallery. This piece was specially designed for the Mind’s Eye. It was a three-dimen sional painting with the gallery as the canvas. When the viewer entered the gallery, he or she then b e came part o f the installation. A workshop was included. The DSU student finance commission, the DSU administration, the North Dakota Council for The Arts took over the administrative duties in 1989 from Dennis Navrat, who was director since 1972. Katrina Callahan -Dolcater directs the gallery. Some o f her time at the Mind's Eye is spent

coordinating the gallery workings with DSU, the library, and various art associations. She also plans the budget, raises funds, sets the gallery schedule, and handles the bookkeeping and planning duties. Bennie Privratsky helps set up the work, distrib utes news releases, coordinates design and printing o f brochures and posters, sends out mailings, and plans openings and receptions. Said Callahan-Dolcater, "I couldn’t run the gal lery without Bennie's help.”

COMPUTERS Humanities look to high-tech future by Tiffany H agen he times are changing, and along with the i times, so is education in the humanities. Education in the Humanities Department has been greatly altered from twenty-five years ago to the present, and technology is the main factor in that change. Twenty-five years ago computers were rarely used in schools, but now computers are used in almost every class. Videos are also used to enhance the classes. "Almost every textbook printed today has a c companying videos," states Dr. Oberlander, pro fessor o f German. Another thing technology has made possible is the ability to receive classes in one’s own home. All the student has to do is pay tuition, and he will receive video cassettes and handbooks to study from. A weekly contact over the telephone is made, and the student is a regular college student. Another change that has been noticed about today’s colleges and universities is the change in the age o f the average student. The average age o f a

88 Humanities

college student in the 1990’s is about twenty-six years old. "We try to make it easier for people who have families to come to school,” says Dr. Hardin Aasand, assistant professor o f English. Not only has the age o f students changed, but the way students are encouraged to think has also changed. Twenty-five years ago, researching the works o f others was very important, and not much individual thinking and creating was used. Today, however, Dr. David Solheim, English professor, feels, "There is a good balance between research and independent thought.” Although methods o f education has altered over the past twenty-five years, not all changes have been positive. Oberlander observes that with more students working, it is extremely difficult to plan field trips. The German classes’ usual field trip to Wisconsin has been terminated because it is im possible to plan a time-consuming trip into every one’s busy schedule. Technology will continue to change the process

o f education in the next twenty-five years, some educators think. Computers will make much more o f an impact in the future than now. Aasand alsc feels that the local student body will increase. "1 could foresee our region expanding outside ol southwestern North Dakota into South Dakota Montana, Saskatchewan, and Alberta through computers and telecommunications.” Some professors think that the field o f human ities looks promising for the future. Speaking flu ent Spanish will be beneficial to many Americans. "By the turn o f the century Hispanics will out number Blacks as the number one minority in America,” says John Ballard, professor o f Spanish. Since the United States is such an important country, there is a demand for English teachers in places such as the Soviet Union, Singapore, Japan, and Germany. Aasand says, "English is a global language . . . [it is] the language to learn.”

New Look Student editors take on controversy by Tiffany H agen I

he members o f "Western Concept”, the stu dent newspaper, were constantly striving to mprove their paper. This year they relied mainly on omputers and controversy to put together and >romote the paper. Computers played a major role n the development o f the "Western Concept” this 'ear. "All o f the layout is done on the computer, vhich makes it much easier for design and correcions,” said Mark Jastorff, public relations director. Vluch time is saved, and fewer mistakes were made vith all o f the layout being done on computers, he ;aid. But some o f the staff members had no idea o f

how to run the paper’s computer program. Others, like editors Connie Walter and Rita Knowles, had to learn how to use the computers. Knowles said, "I think that the computer has made it a lot easier for some people, but I don’t know how to use it. I just let someone else do the computer work.” Although using computers helped speed things up for some people, it often frustrated those unfa miliar with computer technology. Larger, more controversial issues were used this year to attract more readers. The newspaper cov ered faculty and administration salary differences and the controversy over the homecoming ceremo -

nial. But, are there any issues that are too controver sial to put in a student newspaper? Gordon Weixel, advisor, does not think so. "N ot as long as every thing is reported fairly and objectively,” he said. Walter also feels that the student body should know about all o f the issues they cover in the paper, "It is essential that people know what’s going on,” she says. Students opinions vary about the appropriate ness o f controversy. Mike Johnson, freshman, said he enjoyed the controversial issues. The fairness and justness o f the issue were im portant to Lori Brackel, freshman. "The paper can be as controversial as they want. It is their place to ex press their opinion.” Marie Johnson, freshman, stressed balance in news coverage. "Y ou have to give both sides.” Joyce Myers said, "Any subject as long as both sides are presented.” Criticism in a student newspaper could extent to authority — teachers and administrators, some said. "The students should talk about whatever a student should know,” Marvin White said. Carla Jordon thinks news papers should not be re stricted. "No limitations," she said. "That (informa tion) is what newspapers are for.” Other students preferred a cautionary approach. " I don’t think they should go out o f their way to hurt someone or put someone down,” said Cristi Gartner, freshman.

Connie Walter and Rita Know les (standing) edited the student newspaper.

School aware o f new demands by Stacey Hansen he School o f Business is adapting to change and developing programs more suitable to the demands o f the public and business. "W e’re just now beginning to see the changes needed to accommodate the expanded expecta tions o f the business community,” said Richard King, a professor in business at DSU. William Goetz, Dean o f the School o f Business, said that the department is looking at a much greater change in curriculum. "W e in the school o f business have to be much more sensitive to the demands that will be placed upon us in preparing people for the job market.” Not only is future change in the curriculum being considered, but instructors are finding that more adults already involved in business are com ing back to school. They are enrolling in classes to enable them to become better individuals, DSU teachers said. "The information age is upon us,” said Debora

Dragseth, instructor o f business. "Retraining is in everyone's future. Much o f the burden for this retraining will be on the educational establishment. Colleges and universities are only beginning to see the influx o f working adults taking one or two classes to increase their on-the-job skills.” Dragseth pointed out that instructors find that these returning adults in the classroom serve as an advantage for other students because they are sure about what courses they need to help them im prove and they are also capable o f relating personal experiences to give the class an inside look into business. Goetz feels too that instructors will be teaching people already in the work place. "A closer linkage between business and education as business cannot be successful without quality education." Another change will demand more computer background for students. Boyd Binde, assistant professor o f business, said, "Computers are a ne

cessity. If you have a computer background you are more likely to get a jo b.” He also finds that students will need to be able to deal with international firms. Learning the lan guage, traditions and customs o f different coun tries will become a must, he said. What does the future hold? "The future will offer challenges and opportunities that we cannot even imagine today. Certainly globalization, re source availability, demographic changes, and rapid changes in informational technology will make it even more important for colleges and universities to keep a close watch on and to adjust to th< changes in the world environment.” Nevertheless, Goetz feels that more change i: healthy and that the business program at DSU i: changing to meet these demands.

Class studies local businesses by R e n e ’s Beasley J o n e s ection 1: The Right Person with the Right Idea." Welcome to Debora Dragseth's new class — entrepre neurship. She is an instructor with the university’s school o f busi ness, and the course is her brainchild. After discussing her Ideas with William Goetz, dean o f the school o f business, Dragseth said he asked her if she would like to teach the class. "We are in the third session," she said. "W e started with twenty-four or twenty-five students, and now we re up to thirty-five students." According to her, entrepreneurship replaces small busi ness management, which was a required course for all business majors, yet it covers much o f the same material. She said she got the idea for the new class while attend ing a seminar on starting businesses and economic develop ment. Since Dickinson's commercial district is trying to expand, she thought it would be a perfect marriage between the university and its community. The class centers around three activities: tests, a business plan and a business project. "The first thing I do is ask students for a resume," said Dragseth. "1 take it and match their skills with their business project. This semester they have twelve projects that they are working on." The business projects have attracted a lot o f community interest. Local owners and managers are eager to have Dragseth's students conduct market surveys and various research projects, create business plans and financial state ments and write grant proposals. So far, the list is pretty impressive. ABLE, St. Joseph's Hospital and Steffes Manufacturing are among the com panies which have requested feasibility studies from the class.

And, according to her, "People have been real pleased. 1 send out letters at the end o f the semester and ask for their response.” "I have a waiting list o f people who want us to do a project for them next fall,” she said. Senior business administration major, Grant Feddema, is currently working on a business project for the Visitors and Convention Bureau in Dickinson. "W e are doing a market survey for small motels and hotels here in town,” he said. "What they want us to do is to see what events the city o f Dickinson had that drew people in from out o f town, requiring them to stay overnight.” He said he has never taken part in a survey of this kind before, and he appreciates the hands-on experience the project offers. The only negative aspect o f the class, Feddema said, is its schedule. The course is conducted one night a week for 2Vi hours, making it accessible to students who work weekdays. Along with their business projects, students must present a business plan to Dragseth. "They pick out a business they might some day like to start," she said. Once an idea is chosen, students work on a 25-page feasibility study where they do a market analysis, financial statement and other detailed projections. Dragseth said the most common plans are for restaurants, hotels, franchises and sporting goods stores. She said most students’ ideas require large amounts o f capital. But one student's business plan was most unusual. "This kid used little or no money. He wanted to start a company that would bring people to Dickinson from me tropolitan areas,” she said. With his knowledge of overcrowded, inner city golf courses and a love for the sport, he devised a business plan

that would earn 13,000 a summer for his school tuition the following year. Both the scale o f his plan and his profit margins were reasonable; Dragseth said she was impressed with the sim plicity o f his idea. Since the class has only been offered three semesters, she said none of her students have put their ideas to use in the real world. "But I had a student who did a business plan then started a different business." And some o f her students were already entrepreneurs in the Dickinson area before they enrolled in her class. The course attracts business people in many ways. Interspersed with her regular classroom lectures, Drag seth invites community business leaders to present speeches. A variety o f people have accommodated: a certified pub lic accountant, a lawyer, loan officers from area banks and the executive director o f the West River Business Center. But Dragseth doesn't want to present only one side of the coin. "We have had some people come in who have had less than successful experiences,” she said. According to her, some analysts project that 75 percent o f all small businesses will fail in their first three years of operation. By hearing from owners who have struggled with a beginning enterprise, Dragseth said she hopes students are able to see the realities o f entrepreneurship. "I want them to realize they may risk losing their life's savings."

PILOT PROGRAM Students learn from local employers by R en ee Beasley J o n e s ickinson State University has a large older ■ than-average student body Some o f its students are successful business ■ople who return to the university to enhance eir current job skills or seek a new profession. DSU’s school o f business wants to help working ofessionals accomplish that goal. Along with the new entrepreneurship course, ebora Dragseth directs a pilot program for the niversity. The Center for Management and Leadership be an in November 1990 and is offered through a artnership with the American Management Assoiation Extension Institute. Dragseth said local employers willingly pay their mployees’ tuition for the 5 -week sessions. Classes meet once a week and are designed to ive working professionals the opportunity to rainstorm with their colleagues. Students share leas about managing problems which arise on the )b every day. With the new program, students can earn a ertificate in management by completing six

courses. A diverse schedule o f classes are offered: Com munication Skills for Managers, Personal Financial Planning, How to Deliver Winning Presentations, Using Mathematics as a Business Tool, Reading and Interpreting Financial Statements, What M an agers Do, How to Delegate Effectively and A Manager’s Guide to Human Behavior. Soon after the program began, Dragseth said

students requested a class in word processing. The university quickly added the course to the curricu lum. She said it started as one, 20-student class, but the demand was so great that a second class had to be scheduled. Currently, the school o f business offer two word processing classes for students in the Center for Management and Leadership pro gram, and there is a waiting list.

SCIENCE-FUTURE Science and math to be even more important by Diane Ja n d t cience has changed a lot in the last 75 years, and there are many changes still coming. "I see an increase in the number o f students majoring in the natural science and mathematics fields,” says Don Vick, chairman o f the Natural and Mathematical Sciences Division, speaking o f changes he sees in the future. He predicts an in crease in students because o f a national shortage o f people currently entering these fields and because o f the increased interest o f the government in this area. Vick points out that in 1957 Sputnik, designed by the Russians, was the first satellite to go into space. This event caused a great emphasis to be put on the math and sciences for about 15 years. Now, says Vick, we are in a dilemma. "D o we need something like this to happen again to renew inter est in this department?” Vick, also a mathematics professor, sees changes in the math department. Most students and teach ers will switch to graphic calculators and comput ers to simplify solving long equations once done on paper. Christian Vogeli, assistant professor in computer science, says, "Computers will assume roles o f cen tral importance in education. They will be as essen tial as pencils and notebooks. Students without computer knowledge will be severely handicapped academically.” "The invention o f the microcomputer opened the doors for educational computing, while the recent development o f hypertext and hypermedia will provide significant educational opportunities for students at all levels,” says Vogeli.

Edmund Kluk, professor o f physics, also con siders the computer a great advance in the field of physics. He believes that educating people in math and physics helps people to think logically, and that people need this training, as common sense thinking is limited to prior knowledge. With logic, new ideas can be thought through to a proper conclusion, he says. One such idea is the Super Glider now being

built in Texas. Kluk says, "W e don’t really know what we are going to get out o f it, but if we do not try, we may never know. Life is a risky business. We have to take risks.” Kluk thinks that we need physics to train good engineers (like the ones who designed and built the Super Glider), yet the European engineers are cur rently getting much better training than those in the United States both in physics and mathematics. Paula Martin, assistant professor o f chemistry, says that chemistry is also given a bad name today,

yet everything you buy in the stores today has chemistry involved in it. "Chemistry is everywhere, whether we like it or not,” said Martin. One reason chemistry has received its bad repu tation, said Martin, is that it is often seen as charts and memorization, a boring subject that appears unrelated to the average person’s life. "W e need to improve our image a little bit,” she says. "We should stress the positive side o f chemistry, rather than the negative side. We can do that in a univer sity setting." One way, Dr. Martin stresses, is by showing how chemistry is related to everyday life and world events, such as car batteries and nuclear disasters. Myron Freeman, professor o f biology, also sees change in the next 25 years. "There’ll be an empha sis in classes about environmental science, ecology, and management o f the environments. There is no way to survive unless we learn to manage the air, land and water.” Because o f a lack o f emphasis in these areas, Mr. Freeman states that we are destroying our wetlands in North Dakota, with about half already gone, and our forests through timbering in the last 10 to 15 years. This destruction not only affects us as peo ple, but also affects the bird and animal population in North Dakota and worldwide. Today and in the future, technology is bringing constant rapid change to the area o f natural and mathematical science. "Our people in this division are doing an excellent job keeping up with techno logical changes. The greatest hinderance we have is lack o f equipment funds for the division,” says Vick.

LABS Students required to take them by Lyvia K ad rm as and R h o n d a Feldhusen everal courses o f study at DSU require a lab class as well as the class itself. Lab classes are not only taken with science classes, but other classes as well. Every music major, every nursing major, and every student who takes a language must also include a lab with that class. The number o f students in labs is surprising. The nursing labs have a total o f 89 students, with 5 o f those students doing a "clinical lab”, which is done at the hospital or some type o f medical

facility. The language classes have approximately 85 stu dents in the Spanish and German labs. The numbers in the science labs are significantly higher because o f the broader area o f study. These areas include Biology with 92 lab students, Chem istry with 128 lab students, Physical Science with 51 lab students, Physics with 33 lab students, Nature Study with 47 lab students, Botany with 9 lab students, Genetics with 7 lab students, Parasitology with 7 lab students, and Human Anatomy with 73 lab students. Although some labs are more time consuming than others, they all add more hours to the class

itself. Students opinions vary on this subject. Clifton Davis, a freshman at DSU said "I like lab class because I enjoy dissecting animals. The only part I don’t like is all the notes.” Another freshman, Shonna Bunch, doesn’t like lab because, "I think two hours is too long for a class.”

Machine Future Computers to change research methods by Katy Kovar he word computers comes up frequently in J . any conversation with faculty from the D e partment o f Social and Behavioral Sciences. "When I was an undergrad twenty-five years ago, we were taught almost exclusively through the lecture method. Now we have a wider variety of teaching techniques characterized by student activ ity,’’ said Jerry Waldera, chairman o f the depart ment. Waldera says that one o f the biggest changes he has seen is the use o f more quantitative approaches that employ data bases and statistics. The comput erization o f library holdings is an example o f this step into the future, he thinks. Dr. Keith Fernzler agrees. As a sociology pro fessor at DSU, Fernzler sees his teaching methods changing in the future. "I’m not lecturing as much. I’m trying to help students discover the characteris tics o f American society by using computer pro grams and accessible data from research, by using personal computers and having students look at research results.” He thinks that one o f the biggest changes in the

area o f sociology education centers on the active role students are taking. "W e are moving away from the traditional course which is appreciation o f sociology to actually teaching sociology, to learn ing what sociology is by doing sociological re search and thereby learning what sociologists do. Students can actually take theories and test them.” Computers make it possible for sociology stu

dents to study current sociological trend, Fernzler says. "W e used to have to wait quite a while because there was no up-to-date data. Now we can observe what is going on in society as it is happen ing.” On the other hand, Dr. Ron Huch feels as a historian that the computer may not always be a good thing in all situations. He points out that with each discipline developing its own jargon in the quantitative use o f computers, cross communica tion has become more difficult between the differ ent disciplines within the social and behavioral sciences. "I’m one o f those who is resistant to using computers except as a tool for writing, as a word processor,” Huch said. "It is not so good for (his torical) research.” He says that computers have been tried in the area o f historical research but rather unsuccessfully.

According to Dr. Russ Veeder, reading is one of the nearly lost arts and an area that has changed in education in the last twenty-five years. "We don’t assign as much reading in history courses. It is increasingly difficult to get students to read the assigned materials.” He explained that today’s stu dents are children o f the television era and thai reading has been de-emphasized. Larry League, geography instructor, sees the im portance o f being proficient in world geography He says that in the past geography education wa de-emphasized and he feels that the change had ; negative impact. "In the future we need to concen trate more on geography. The world has greate interdependence now than in the past.” He is distressed that people who have graduate, from college do not grasp world geograph) "These are the people who are going out to teac our children. They will compound the problem fc another twenty-five years.” However, he is glad to see the trend reversing "M ore and more schools offer it, and many ar requiring it.”

In My Opinion Steve Kleinjan - senior - "It’s important for future generations to realize the importance o f events that have occurred in our world.” Daniel Lervick - freshman - "By people knowing what’s happened in history, they can learn and benefit and not make the same mistakes in the future.” Jaso n E rm er - freshman - "They say that history repeats itself, so if we learn more about our past now we can be better pre pared for the future." M argaret Schulz - senior - "I will benefit the future through research.” Roxanne R einers - senior - "I will help people with social problems.”

Volunteers Students give time and compassion by Diane Jandt everal DSU students volunteered in the commu nity. Their reasons were as varied as the students. Linda Wagner started at the Domestic Vio lence and Rape Crisis Center in order to use up some spare time. "At the time I was just working and being a housewife and I was thinking of going to college or doing something else with my life. I guess volunteer work was a start for me.” "I just started this last fall,” said Clara Rebel, also a volunteer at the crisis center. "It was part of a class that I had in social work — beginning community service class.” Cathy Leiss volunteered at the crisis center for the same reason. "This is something that I was always going to do," she added. “I have been through the violence in a prior marriage.” Vivian Newberry volunteered as a facilitator at the Nurturing Center. She started through a class at the college three years ago. Like many volunteers, she chose an area familiar to her. Newberry started working in the Nurturing Pro gram with children. Before that, she taught preschool for 12 years and Sunday School classes. In January, she started as a group leader for adults. "It's like a parenting class only it involves the entire family so the parents can learn appropriate

ways to discipline and communicate with the chil dren while the children are learning the very same things. They’re also learning behavior control. This way the whole family can learn together. It’s easier to change that way. It’s easier to change when everyone is changing in the same way.” Newberry also volunteers through the Lifeguide/ Companion Program. Through this program, she works with a mentally disabled woman. "We have lunch together, rent videos together, do crafts to gether, shop — all the things I do with my other friends.” This work also started through a college class. Those that volunteer at the crisis center spend three hours twice a month at the center. "Mostly our duties are just to be there to talk to and answer the phone and trying to handle crisis situations,” said Wagner. If no clients are at the shelter, the volunteer is on call for six hours. The challenges of volunteer work are many. "I guess the most challenging part is where, if it were your decision, you’d make a different choice. But it's their decision, so you just have to let them decide,” said Carmae Meduna, volunteer at the crisis center. For Carla Jordan, another crisis center volunteer,

the challenge came when "when a lady’s husband found out where the shelter was and he was sitting out in his car. "In such situations, police are usually called to help, said Leiss. "We had a developmentally disabled lady there, and she was kind of hard to get to follow the certain rules they have in there,” said Rebel, recounting her most challenging time at the center. Time is another challenge to volunteers. "Sometimes it gets really hard. You just have to set your priorities. You don’t take as much time for recreation as you’d like to. When things get too hectic, you just have to put everything aside and relax,” said Meduna. While volunteers are challenged, they also reap many rewards. "Just watching somebody come along and they’re really scared. They learn to take care of themselves and get out of an abusive situation," Jordan said. Meduna agreed. "It’s really rewarding when you see someone that is in there and you visited with and listened to. Then you see them later in the communi ty and you see that they have gotten their lives together. It feels good to know that you helped them get to that point."

Laughs Really, you did that? by Lyvia Kadrmas ollege life is not all work and no play. * Even the most serious classes have humor ous moments. Dickinson State University is no exception. Many times the more serious classes are often where the craziness begins. Some stories are unrepeatable, but students are always willing to share a laugh. J e ff Schneider, a junior History major got a laugh from Dr. Huch. Je ff said, "Dr. Huch is always keeping us on our toes. We're all pretty familiar with each other in the class, so we cut up more than usual." It seems several students had been in the library together. All but one left for class. When Dr. Huch arrived in class, someone mentioned the missing student. Je ff said, "W e were joking around and told Dr. Huch that Pam was in the library. Someone else told him he should go get her, and, before we realized it, he was on his way.” Dr. Huch has been a source o f amuse

ment in more ways than one. Not going to class is common to some stu dents. Some never miss a class. Aleta Hendricks, a freshman business student, had a different experience altogether. "Y ou know how it is when you’re in a hurry.” Aleta said, "I hurried upstairs to the class. I wondered why everyone had an Income Tax book. Well, I sat through the class for a few minutes and — oh wow! I was in the wrong class! It was so embarrassing!” Going to the wrong class is not as crazy as it seems. On the third floor o f May Hall, all the classes look the same. Aleta did make it to the right class. Linda Dirkach had an explosive experience. "I remember the funniest thing that happened to me! I’m a Nursing student," Linda said. "It was in Chemistry class. All o f us were bored, as usual. I mixed some chemicals together and POOF! I started a fire! I guess it’s not uncom mon, but it sure surprised me!”

Some things are funny even though they are serious. Pam was funny to the class, but Dr. Brown wasn't thrilled. Pam said, "We had to listen to a special tape for music. A classmate and I were the first ones to go to the library to check it out. A short way through the tape, it broke! What made it so funny was the rest o f the class had jokingly told us to get rid o f it.” It seems that particular tape was the only copy available at DSU. "Dr. Brown did not find it amusing at all, but we were so scared when it broke, all we could do was laugh," Pam said. Each day at DSU is different. One day the flag may be hanging upside down. Another day the elevator might be stuck. On March 21, 1991, the "Pilsner,” an anonymous, subversive news paper, appeared mysteriously and, then, disap peared. Although the "newspaper” was o f ques tionable nature it stirred up a lot o f anger and a lot o f laughter with its talk o f Batmobiles and OTAs.

New Concerns It’s no longer just pushups by Rhonda Feldhusen

In My Opinion Robyn B abcock - sophomore - "I feel that P.E. promotes a complete lifestyle that will create physical well-being for the rest o f our lives.” Karen Dryden - senior - "I’ve seen a lot o f out o f shape kids. Through P.E. classes in schools they will somehow get the physical exercise they need to maintain healthy lifes tyles.” M ichael Kautzman - sophomore - "I think it’s important for kids to be in shape so they’ll be able to live long, healthy lives.” D arren A lbrecht - freshman - "Physical education helps sustain optimum health and fitness.” P atrick Neim an - sophomore - "Physical education helps develop body mind and spirit, and it educates the whole person.”

ealth education has changed a lot in the past twenty-five years at Dickinson State. Instead of merely practicing physical activities in class, students today have become more health con scious, "Today people are more health conscious than they were twenty-five years ago,” Don Lemnus, in structor, Says. "The news and media coverage of health and fitness has a lot to do with people becom ing more aware of how they look and how they want to feel. "In the past, we would go to a doctor to get shots or pills to make us feel better. Now we are turning to exercise and a better diet.” Sam Milanovich agrees a relationship exists be tween the media and health awareness. "Health education hasn’t been emphasized as much as the problems have increased,” Millanovich says. "In the past health education in the school

system was devoted almost entirely to personal hy giene. Now health education has to cover a whole gamut of problems.” Citing AIDS as an example, he sees health educa tion programs increasing in proportion to the health problems. Jo I.inquist agrees that the education sys tem informs its students about many more things now than it did in the past, "in the next twenty-five years, I see more research on the AIDS virus and on the ozone layer as far as health education goes. And people will continue to grow more health conscious.” Arland Hofland thinks this awareness will contin ue. "People are more aware of the danger that can result when they don’t take care of their bodies. When I was in college no one would even talk about a sexually transmitted disease,” he says. "Health and fitness classes didn't even exist. I hope to see the same kinds of changes in the next twenty-five years.”

PHYSICAL TH ER A PY The demand is great and competition tough by Diane Jandt hysical therapy. It brings to mind pictures o f accident victims struggling to walk between arallel bars, those with crippling diseases exercistg to maintain their strength. And yet it is much lore. Nancy Hamre and Travis West, pre-professional tudents at Dickinson State University, have set heir sights on this highly competitive field. West chose physical therapy last year after he uffered an injury playing high school football. My senior year I tore ligaments in my ankle. I ouldn’t walk on it. I thought it would take a while d heal, but it didn’t. I worked with a physical herapist every day for a week four hours a day. I /as able to play the next week, but not much. "I always liked the medical career, and I like teing around athletes," West continued. "I’d like 3 be a physical therapist in maybe sports medicine nd broaden my career with a big sports team.” Hamre chose her career for different reasons. My sister’s a physical therapist and ever since she tarted being a physical therapist I've just been iterest in it. I want to have a physical therapy najor and a sports trainer minor.” Patients o f physical therapists vary from accident ictims to those suffering from multiple sclerosis, lerve injuries, amputations, broken bones, and teart disease. Ages o f the patients range from lewborn to elderly. The job o f the physical thera>ist is to improve mobility, relieve pain, and pre'ent or limit permanent disabilities from accidents >r disease. New techniques and equipment are made avail ible at rapid rates. Some o f this includes computtrized isokinetics and robotics. "Hi-tech is here as well as in any field,” Rick swenson, owner and therapist at Southwest Physcal Therapy o f Dickinson, said. "There is more specific equipment, but it doesn't take the place of motivation, efforts, and the proper running of equipment.” Recent changes in many state laws now allow patients to contact a physical therapist directly, rather than by a doctor’s referral, and this has helped increase the rising demand, Swenson said. Changes are also taking place in the training o f physical therapists. Many schools are now replac ing a four-year program. As o f 1991, students at the University o f North Dakota will be required to enroll for a five-year Masters o f Physical Therapy degree. "57 percent o f the (nation's) programs in physical therapy have gone into five-year pro grams," said H.C. Wessman, professor o f physical therapy at the University o f North Dakota. UND offers North Dakota’s only physical therapy pro gram. There are only 24 positions open at UND and this year 81 applicants vie to fill those spots. '"That

means there is acceptance o f one out o f three,” Wessman said. Along with these changes, students are now encouraged to specialize in a particular field, in cluding geriatrics, pediatrics, sports therapy, and neurology.

"The competition is tremendous and job supply and demand is great,” Swenson said. "Right now the demand is out o f whack. They’re trying to handle the demand with more schools opening,” but until then physical therapists are greatly need ed.

REDEFINING CARE Nurses to face technology and new ethics by apidly changing technology will partially re define the nursing profession. In the past, nursing demanded much o f the person; the future will mean new settings, new concepts o f health, and new ethical dilemmas. "The technology has changed a great deal. It has advanced so far that people who were in ICU twenty five years ago are the people you see on a regular medical-surgical floor now, and many peo ple you see in ICU right now would not have survived 25 years ago,” said Sandra Affeldt, chair person o f D SU ’s nursing department. Because North Dakota was the first state in the nation to require that nursing education be univer sity based, student nurses now are more trained than the diploma nurse who was exclusively trained in the hospital work setting. "Now, we've put the student in the student role, not the worker role,” said Affeldt. "Learning takes time. You need time to digest and assimilate all that knowledge.” Affeldt predicts exciting things for the profes sion. "I see nursing moving from being strictly in the institutional settings like the hospitals to private practice in the community.” Gayle Hofland, nursing instructor, shares this view. "There will be more emphasis on wellness in the community, more prevention. Instead o f being re-active to situations we will be pro-active.” She foresees nurse practitioners and more nurs ing leadership in the future. "They will be getting paid directly for their clinic service. I’d like to see nurses as CEO’s o f hospitals and owning their own businesses.” Jane Hoerner, a nursing instructor at DSU, visu alizes other changes in the profession. "Nursing twenty five years ago was a technical job. It is now a profession, a career, more than just a job.” Ethical dilemmas will increase for the nurse, she thinks. "Technology is contributing to the inSh erri Forsch demonstrates the otoscope by exam ining Carmen Entze. (Photo by Steve Robbins)

creased numbers o f situations that involve ethical decisions.” Sister Dorothy Niemann, a nurse o f twenty two years, views technology as a big change in the nursing field. "Back in 1965 the most technical thing nurses had to deal with was IV therapy. About that time the technology really started tak ing off. Now we are seeing technology in the home health care setting. Things like kidney dialysis are being done in the home.” Niemann also sees a down side to technological progress. "In education I think so much emphasis was put on working with new technology and

increasing knowledge that less emphasis was put on the art. The whole caring aspect took a down ward turn in the last few years, but we are now seeing that coming back.” Information retrieval will be a fact o f the future, DSU instructors think. "It is not as important tc know something as it is knowing where to go tc find the information. You need to know how tc utilize resources o f information,” said Hoerner. And Niemann feels that the use o f computer; will free up the nurse from much time-consuming paperwork, enabling her to spend more time with the patient.

A QUEST M onk helps others by K a ty K ov ar rother Elias Thienpont came to Richard ton and to Assumption Abbey in 1983 to become a monk in the Order o f St. Benedict, but the 42-year-old Vietnam veteran now is studying nursing. "I can’t explain to you why I became a monk,” he said. "It was a spiritual quest. A bunch o f guys come together to live and pray together.” Holding an associate degree from Nassau Community College in New York, Elias o b tained an Associate o f Science degree in practi cal nursing from DSU in May 1990. Now he is seeking his bachelor's degree in nursing from DSU. Nursing has not been a lifelong dream for Elias; as a matter o f fact a twist o f fate guided his steps. Assigned to building maintenance at the Abbey, the abbot decided that Elias should fill a new position managing the infirmary o f the monastery. At that time two priests from the abbey were in a nursing home, and the abbot decided that to care for them at the abbey would be more cost effective. Besides his job o f caring for the four patients

B ro th er Elias Thienpont studies to becom e a nurse. (Photo by Steve Robbins)

now in his infirmary, Elias is also a volunteer with the Richardton Ambulance Squad and the treasurer o f the DSU Chapter o f the Student Nurses Association. A love o f trains has fueled his hobby of model railroads. "The best thing about them is that you never have to feed, water, walk, or find someone to take care o f them while you're on vacation, and no one ever wants a ride on them!” Having taken a lifetime vow to the monas tery, Brother Elias’ future might seem cut and dried. Not so. He is considering the possibility

o f continuing in the nursing profession to the level o f nurse practitioner. As a nurse, he is interested in the dying process. "M ost o f my patients die. I'd like to study the dying process. I'd like to see a unit in the hospital called a life care unit. It would be for people who are terminally ill or elderly, to help them deal with the dying process. It would have about the same nurse/patient ratio as an intensive care unit. That way the nurse could spend more time with each patient, holding her hand, comforting her, especially that person without any families.”

In My Opinion Jessica Sanberg - freshman - "Nursing will benefit the future by enabling people to have better health.” Tiffany Axt - freshman - "There will always be hospitals so people will always need nurses to care for them. I feel that because the field is so wide open, a lot o f people will be going into nursing, and the health care will just keep get ting better and better." Dia Shoopman - freshman - "W e can help people, and I know that computers won't take us over." Stephanie Baumann - freshman - "With the

more education we’re getting, it will bring more experience which will help us with more com plicated problems in the future.” Leann Corbin - freshman - "Nursing will benefit the future by giving the American public an awareness o f health standards, preventing the spread o f disease, and preserving the high qual ity o f life.” Dalayne Haugen - freshman - "Nursing will benefit the future because people will be more aware o f several more health problems and will be able to prevent and cure more o f them. People will be much healthier in the future.”

Speedy Research Library users tackle computers by Tiffany Hagen he new computers in the library seem to be mak ing it easier for most students to find information, yet they’ve had to adjust to the new computer system, which replaced the card catalogue this year. "I think the hardest part is learning how to use the whole system.” Joyce Myers said. "But once you do, you get so much more information. And it is a lot faster than the card catalogue.” Kris Hurtsaid said, "I don’t have a cue how to run it. I haven’t had the chance to spend time at it. If I need something, I ask the librarian.” Speed and ease of use appeal to students. "It’s a lot of help if you can figure out how to use it,” Jeff Jost said. "I don’t like the title codes you have to use. They get very

confusing, but it’s still faster than the card catalogue.” "I don’t have any trouble at all with it. It really makes things a lot easier. Sandy Koppinger said. Instructions are placed beside the computers to give students an understanding of how the system works, Eileen Kopren, librarian, said. And if a student has difficulty, he should ask the librarians, who are always willing to help, she said. Kopren observes that the students seem to be adapt ing quickly to the new system and most are not afraid to ask questions. If students feel that there is not enough information on a certain subject, they should inform the librarian of this problem.

"If we don’t have information on the topic they ar working on, they can use the computers to find if ther are any libraries in the state that do have information o; that topic,” said Kopren. The staff would also like to know about a lack o information on a certain subject. If they are aware of th problem, they can order some information on the sub ject, giving them a more well-rounded library. Further more, before next year the library will have access t much more information than it does now. "By the sum mer students should be able to access the holdings c North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota,” statt Bernnett Reinke, director of the library.

HANDY MAN Jo e is Jack -O f-A ll-T rad es by Lyvia Kadrmas oe Kokkeler is a jack-of-all trades on the DSU campus. Ten years ago, he started as the heat )lant operator. Now, if it means planting grass, rutting trees, or making things run properly on rampus, Jo e is the man for the job. He earned his ten-year pin last year from DSU md is proud o f that accomplishment. "I really love ny work. It’s not like work at all. It’s like taking rare o f home.” And Jo e has plenty to take care of. This year ilone he and the rest o f D SU ’s maintenance crew

moved 200 trees from the shelter belt o f the cam pus. His favorite job is planting flowers. "I really love planting flowers and growing things, and I get to do a lot o f that, but here are some faculty members that like to plant their own flowers with a tape measure and the works. Perfection is everything.” A native o f Hebron, North Dakota, where he operated a service station for 32 years before he joined the staff at DSU, Jo e is not only a dedicated employee, but a dedicated family man. His wife

Barbara, a former employee o f DSU for many years, remains his first priority. He loves to talk about his kids, Mari Jo , 43, and Craig, 36. "They’re special people in their own right.” He talks humbly about his time in the Army and says little about it. "I was in Normandy on DDay." "For a hobby I work in my garden and I also make Christmas wreaths and baskets out o f pine cones. My fun? Well, it’s my work. But I really want to emphasize how wonderful the people I work for and the people I work with are. The professors here at DSU are tops and they help me so much. They take care o f me, just as I take care o f the campus. They are the best. They add so much to the enjoyment o f my work."

ver since he chose the trumpet over football after a high school injury, Jo e l Nelson has been walking to the rhythms o f his own sounds. "When I’m by myself, there is always something going around in my head," he said, referring to his music. "And I notice I always walk to a beat.” He started in music when he was five with the accor dion and then began playing the trumpet, an in strument that his father played. After junior high school in Texas, he graduated from Century High School in Bismarck where Mr. Fogderdue, his high school band teacher guided him in the right direc

tion, he said. Now, instead o f accordion music, he prefers to express himself on his Courtoi, a French trumpet. "Music is kind o f like a pressure when I play. It gives me a chance to let my feeling out without talking about them.” He prefers jazz fu sion, a cross between jazz and rock. "It give me a chance to have a lot more fun. In concert music you’re limited to what you can do,” he said. He credits trumpeter Maynard Ferguson with helping him see that a trumpeter’s control o f air, rather than his lips, does much o f the work. And he appreciates the technical abilities o f Wynton Marsallis. For Joel, controlling the third value finger requires the most practice because "it is not strong enough to hold its own by itself.” He admits to strengths and weaknesses. "Some people say I have great range,”

he said. "But sight reading is my biggest weak ness.” He doubts that electronic trumpets connect ed to a synthesizer will replace the sound o f brass. "Y ou can never replace a true trumpet because you can’t replace the true emotions,” he said. He plans a career in teaching but would also like to performj and someday would like start his own band. At DSU, he played his trumpet in many musical a c tivities. He arranged music for Hilltop, directed the Pep band and Hilltop Jazzband. A member o f MENC, he assisted in various student recitals and played for community weddings. He played first trumpet in the Messiah and the Marriage o f Figaro, the Concert Band and the Jazz band. He sang in the DSU Chorale and the St. Johns Lutheran Church Choir. He also gave private lessons.

A Growing Experience by J im Sm ith

1 t niversity life has broadened Sandy Picken’s L J life. In her twenties, she thought o f education differ ently than she does now. "I had a frivolous idea o f education. It wasn’t for me. I was staying at home, happy, but I wasn’t fulfilled as a person until I started. Then I became hungry for knowledge, and

I was ready to learn. I now value knowledge so much. That’s changed me. Now is the first time in my life that I’m making connections, seeing relationships between things,” she said. For her, some o f the changes occurring in soci ety are evident, but startling in their rapidity. "When I graduated from high school there might have been one computer. I don’t know. By the time

by boy started kindergarten there was a computer in kindergarten, when I couldn’t even see one in high school,” she said. Not all change in the educational system has been necessarily positive though, she thinks. "When I was a young person morals were still somewhat taught in school,” she said "But moral teaching has been removed and that is a negative aspect. W e’re seeing more extremes and more o f the disadvantaged kids not getting values rein forced.” She feels that technology may bring with its new gadgets a different atmosphere to the classroom, one that lacks somewhat in human warmth. Because o f this concern, she thinks that classes o f the future should address themselves to the moral and social aspect o f education. "W e need more teaching in required classes about the social aspect o f people. Racial matters, for example. We need to be more aware o f racial matters as a whole.” She is adamant about the need for taught moral ity. "I think we will see a decline in our education system if needed moral teaching guidelines are not included.” After graduating in the spring o f 1991, she hopes to obtain her MFA in theater directing and to teach in a smaller, northwestern college system. She appeared this fall as Helen, a complaining shrew, in DSU’s "The Secret Affairs o f Mildred Wild.” She served as the Assistant Director o f the Performing Arts Camp in 1990 and was an assistant director and stage manager for summer theater productions in 1990. An Honor Roll student, she has received six scholarships since 1988, the most recent being an Alumni Scholarship and a Student Senate Scholar ship. She was elected Outstanding Actress in 198889 and elected to W ho’s Who in 1989. Serving on the Homecoming Committee, she has also worked as a tutor and been active on the Speech Team, in student Ambassadors, the Student Senate, the Drama Club, and the International Club.

by W endel Ferguson or some college students, learning is concen trated in the classroom, but Debra Hourigan found her education and discovered herself in a heavy blend o f collegiate activities and academics. "Education is a learning process where you are able to gain knowledge not only from books but from other people,” she said. She said her involvement has helped her in dif ferent ways. "I do better if I'm more involved." Balancing books and appointment calendars taught her more responsibility, she said. "It all seemed to fall in place.” And she met many different types o f people. "I’ve learned to be more assertive,” she said. "B asi cally I’m a shy person. Because o f activities I’ve had

to work with people and be assertive.” She attributes part o f her personal growth to friend Carmen Braaten. "Carmen influenced me. She brought me out o f my shell so to speak.” Meeting other people also has exposed her to other views, ideas that she might not have exper ienced, she said. She cited as one example her affiliation with Student Ambassadors, an organization that she said placed her in contact with students, alumni, and others from outside the university. Also working in the work study program allowed her to meet many different kinds o f persons. Planning on being an elementary education teacher, Debbie would like to remain in North Dakota. She thinks that in the future the state’s citizens will serve as role models for other parts of the nation: reminding them o f the value o f hard

work. A professor, Dr. Jo e Callahan, and his idea influenced her. "He is always excited about what hi is doing,” she said. "Around him, it was just a sens' o f excitement.” Besides earning recognition on various academi' lists and receiving different scholarships, Debbii was a member o f the DSU Chorale, and FCA. Shi helped the Homecoming Committee, served as ; Campus Tour Guide, worked in Hilltop Holiday and worked as a basketball statistician. She helpec as a 4-H Leader and was manager o f the studen newspaper. A Student Ambassador, she also wa: the Dorm Council President and volunteered as ar aide at Beg Elementary School. Besides working or the Alumni Association Phonathon, she also was : member o f Phi Sigma Pi Honor Fraternity and wa: elected to W ho’s Who in 1990.

his year Sam John son broke Dickinson State’s all-time scoring and all-tim e rushing records. Sam rushed for 3272 yards, besting the career yardage record o f 2369 held by Gary Schmaltz for the I960-1970 season. His point total o f 194 over came Kelly McNary's 1980-1983 total o f 191. A senior at Dickinson State University who played running back on the Hawk football team, Sam played a m ajor roll in taking the Hawks to the quarterfinals o f the NCAA playoffs. Coach Hank Biesiot said, "He's a guy you can count on day in and day out. He played an excel lent leadership roll this year. He's consistent and there every time . . . H e answers every bell." John son considered him self a g o o d blocker and team leader. "I'm not as fast as I should be, and I'm not a gifted athlete. I have to work hard at what ever I d o ." Sam said that his senior year was his best. "I think I was very consistent. I becam e a well-round ed player and a g o o d passer and runner." Sam 5 best moment o f his college football career was during his junior year when the Hawks beat Carroll College. "We lost to them in overtime in my freshman year, so it was kind o f a revenge factor," he said. "During my junior year they played here. It was the first time we had ever won a p la y o ff gam e." He thought that this year’s gam e against Peru State, eventual national champions, was his worst football moment. "They are playing for the N a tional Championship now, and we had them down by 17 at half-time. Then we ended up losing." He attributes much o f his success to blockers Travis Lunda and Rory Farstveet. "They kn ocked the h eck out o f people and m ade a hole big enough to g et m e through." In the 1990 season h e rushed for 813 yards, an average o f 73-9 per game. He caught 6 passes for 91 yards. He scored 36 points during the year. He does not feel, however, that he should take all o f the credit for his performance. "I had a lot o f g o o d p eop le working with m e," he says. "The team is great, and the coaching sta ff has been excellent. N obody can be successful by themselves."

Following His Interest by D iane J a n d t n DSU, John Lopez found a place to develop his interest in science. "I remember looking at this card for science □oks. I ordered that.” This is John Lopez’s first lemory o f an interest in science. He was then in indergarten. In junior high school, he gained interest in com uters. They used old keypunch teletype machines : the school to play games. "I remember playing tar Trek,” he said. Oddly enough, he didn’t plan to make science is career. After a year o f college, he asked his Jvisor; Lopez acted on that advice. Following graduation, Lopez plans to attend raduate school, then teach junior high school or 1 a community college. He hopes to see more ands-on science experiments in the school system

"which, in my mind, would have left a greater impact than just reading.” While at Dickinson State University, Lopez par ticipated in many projects. He peer-tutored since his second quarter at DSU. (W hen he started, DSU was still on the quarter-system.) That was in 1987. He first tutored in math, then began in science. Lopez participated in a 1989 dinosaur dig near Marmath. His memories o f that included sleeping in a railroad lodge overnight and walking "for miles and miles. The second day we crossed a creek with my car. I got a hole in the gas tank. I took it in to get fixed, and it was too big. The hole was made from a rock.” While hunting, they found a skull and frill from a triceratops. This is the dinosaur that resembles a rhinoceros, but has a collar around its neck. His senior year, Lopez was president o f the math and science club. A new organization, they visited Beulah to see a gasification plant. ”1 almost decid

ed to be a chemist after that,” he said. They also plan to have a Nintendo tournament. Besides this, he built two photogate systems for computers his senior year for an independent class with Edward Kluk, physics professor at DSLL These are similar to electronic detectors in many stores. It is used to measure speed and the rate at which it changes. It can also measure gravity. For another independent class, he and Kluk are testing an experiment published by another university about gravity. They found the other experiment defective in the method used, and hope to correct the other school's findings. Lopez never expected to be involved in such an experiment at school. An earlier photogate system built by Kluk sparked an interest that led to his independent classes. "The teachers are really good. If you have an idea o f something you'd like to try, they'll be more than happy to help you. The facili ties are here to use."

Brian F iiibeck w onders about changes in agriculture. (Photo by Steve Robbins)

National Leader by J a c k Sm ith he future will hold uncertainties and surprises for the family farmer, but the small farm is still an important aspect o f American life, Brian Fiiibeck, says. Computers will help in record keeping, Brian says. "On farms and ranches everyone will have a computer in operation," he says. "Record keeping is going to be the key to the existence o f small farmers.” In the future, farmers will have to more carefully analyze various aspects o f their operation, he says. Environmental concerns will also concern future farmers, he says. "Everyone is conscious o f soil conservation. That is great because it is getting abused, and we’ll need a lot o f practices to preserve the land.” Farmers will rely less on chemicals in the future,

146 Pacesetters

he thinks. Perhaps biological controls for insects will become more important, and farmers will use different crop rotation techniques. He says farmers will "use what they’ve learned in the past.” Even though computerized tractors loom as a possibility, equipment will remain "pretty much the same.” The future o f the family farm concerns Brian, who farms with his father in Glenn Ullin. "It [farming] is getting bigger every year. I don’t want to see them [small farms] go. It is a good life,” he says, stressing the freedom enjoyed on the farm. Brian says the work on small farms, while de clining in number, teaches children a work ethic. "It is an all day job. They know they have to give an extra effort,” he says. Just as many smaller towns will disappear, so too

will some small farms, he says. "I would like to se the farmers become more independent but they’i a lot o f farmers that won’t make it.” While at Dickinson State, Brian, a junior wh returned to DSU after completing his two-ye< program, was involved nationally as well as local! in such farm-related concerns. He was elected £ the national president o f the National Postsecon dary Agricultural Student Organization (PAS). A the organization's president, he travelled to AlbanN.Y., Washington, D.C., and Kansas City and gav speeches. Besides serving as PAS president, Brian served a D SU ’s PAS present and treasurer. He has bee active in the FFA. He played on the college go! team. He was elected to Who's Who among Col lege Students.

Commutter by R e n e ’e B ea sle y -Jo n es ow far would you go to attend Dickinson State University? Renee Volk has commuted over 89,000 miles rom Beulah to Dickinson State University during he past four years or a distance equal to 16 round rips — coast to coast. "As far as the driving itself goes,” she said, it’s rot so bad — just the time it takes.” Volk is an older-than-average senior who will graduate summa cum laude with a degree in ac:ounting. She only needs two classes to fulfill the equirements for a business management degree as veil. Commuting over 160 miles a day makes Volk an inusual student, but she is also unique because she s attending the university after passing her G ED vhen she was 26. Originally from Ray, North Dakota, she experenced circumstances which prevented her from graduating from high school. But that didn’t stop ter. Karen Brook, who teaches Beulah’s Adult Basic Education program was inspired by V olk’s passed ter GED and took the ACT exam even though it wasn’t required.

"She set her goals and followed through with them,” said Brook. "It shows what you can do once you set your mind to something.” In fact, it was Brook who gave Volk the names of people to contact in the car pool which com muted to DSU. V olk’s husband, Jim , a part-time student at DSU, was also supportive o f her college career. "He encouraged it,” Volk said. "In fact, I prob ably wouldn’t have gone if he hadn’t. When other people told me I was nuts, he stuck up for me.” Volk said there are advantages and disadvan tages to traveling such a long distance each day to attend college. "W e were friends," she said o f the women who rode with her to the university. "The support and companionship was wonderful.” However, it was difficult to be on the road almost three hours every day, carry 17 to 18 semes ter hours and be a wife and mother. The Volks have one daughter,Jennifer, who is a seventh grad er. "As soon as I’d get home from school,” she said, "I'd start my other responsibilities.” Just like other young mothers, that meant sup

per, dishes, laundry and attending her daughter’s school events. But, then, for Volk there was her own homework to be done. Four days after graduation Volk will travel again but not for another four years. On May 8, she is scheduled to begin her certified public accountant examination in Grand Forks. The 20-hour test is notoriously grueling. "Last September in Grand Forks, 6 percent of the first-timers passed,” Volk said. "I can’t be sure what the national average is.” During her first three years o f academic life, she took more hours than necessary to graduate in four years. She wanted to have a light course load during the semester prior to her graduation to give her time to study for the national exam. The strate gy seems to have worked out well as she spends several hours each day studying for the CPA test and finishing her last two classes. Since Volk earned her GED and did not gra duate from high school in the traditional sense, D SU ’s graduation ceremony will be the first she has ever participated in. When Volk talked about the event, she said, "I feel excited and nervous. I’m ready to see what’s going to happen next.”

Year In Review 1990-91

ickinson State University enjoyed statewide publicity on a variety o f subjects during the 1990-91 academic year but not all o f it was positive. The most controversial news story coming from this university focused on opposition to DSU's homecoming ceremonial. In September, a group o f concerned students formed the Students Against Racism organization to protest the enactment o f Native American rituals during the celebration o f the university's football game. SAR, led by Ethel Schuchhardt and Constance Walter, threatened to stage a protest march during the 62-year-old ceremonial. The protest was avoid ed by promises from university administrators who combined with alumni to form the Presidential multi-cultural task force. By January 11, 1991, Dr. Albert Watrel, president o f DSU, announced the homecoming ceremonial would be changed, and in March the Student Senate chose a medieval theme for future homecoming activities. O f course, during this war between minds, our nation prepared for war in the Middle East. Over 500,000 men and women from the United States joined a multi-national coalition to free Kuwait from Iraqi forces. DSU students were among them. Personnel at DSU had relatives and friends fighting for our interests in the Persian Gulf. Coalition forces initiated an air battle on January 16, and DSU became newsworthy again on January 17 as all state-owned universities were placed on alert. Law enforcement officials received an anony mous telephone call claiming a bomb had been planted on one o f the university campuses and was set to explode at 3:15 p.m. D SU’s administrators closed its facilities from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The time passed in silence; no bomb exploded on any North Dakota campus.

158 Y ear In Review

DSU was in the news twice during this legisla tive year seeking funds for two construction pro jects. It looked promising for the university to obtain money to build a multi-purpose classroom building after the board o f higher education ap proved the expenditure on January 15. However, the North Dakota Senate rejected the bill with a vote o f 28 to 25 on February 21. The other project is a museum o f paleontology which would house a fossil collection which Larry League, associate professor o f geography and geol ogy at DSU, has been uncovering for years. A bill allowing the State Industrial Commission to sell $2 million in bonds to fund the facility passed in the North Dakota Senate on February 16, but, when the proposal went to the House Appropriations Committee in March, opposing testimony was heard by special-interest groups. The federal government would have to supply another $2 million to the project, and $500,000 would have to be raised through individual contri butions. Currently, the fate o f the museum is unde cided. Also, three DSU administrators and two faculty members were in the news. Dr. Thomas Jensen, vice president o f academic affairs; LaVern Jessen, dean o f student services; Roger Huffman, director o f admission-registrar; and Darwin Whelan and Calvin Lundberg, associate professors in education announced their retirements early in 1991. DSU also lost another administrator to retire ment in November 1990. Dr. Winifred Stump left the university to move to Mesa, Arizona, with her new husband, Dr. Oscar DeLong. Dr. DeLong was president o f DSU at one time. In the news during the month o f November, 1990, were two DSU football players. J e f f and

Rocky Hanson received severe injuries from a automobile accident. They came upon icy roac while they were traveling home for the Thanksgiv ing holiday. Both men received multiple broke bones and other complications but are workin toward a satisfactory recovery. In retrospect, it has been a very newsworthy yea According to D SU ’s records, enrollment was high er during the fall o f 1990 than it had been fc twenty years. Over 1,400 students entered the uni versity. Mark Lowe, university office manager, said tf Student Center got an $80,000 facelift during tf 1990-91 school year. New carpet, wallpaper an blinds were installed in the upstairs eating are Matching tables and chairs are on order and shoul be delivered soon. The Student Center was not the only thing c campus that got dressed up a little. The outside c our campus was festooned with yellow ribbon and a flag hung on DeLong Hall to demonstraloyalty for our men and women in the Persian Gul Students from various organizations on campt also helped with the statewide project name "Ribbons Across North Dakota.” Yellow ribbor were tied to roadside markers along Interstate 94 t offer support for our troops and their families. But the best news o f all — campus, statewid national, or international — was the end o f hosti ities in Kuwait. Coalition forces were successful i ousting President Hussein’s army from the emirai after an extensive air assault and a very brief groun war. Hopefully, when the "Year In Review” written again in 1992, all our troops will be on the native soil. May we never forget those who die serving their country in Operation Desert Storrr — Rene’e Beasley-Jont
