Farewell to Dr. Conn Although Dr. Philip W. Conn will leave his post as the Dickinson State U niversity Presi dent, his mark will be left on the University for countless years to come. Dr. Conn who joined Dickinson State in July, 1994, has worked tirelessly to renew student life, achieve enrollment stability and growth and improve campus facilities. ND State Board of H igher Education Presi dent Paul Ebeltoft, Jr. said “On behalf o f the entire State Board o f Higher Education, I wish to publicly thank Dr. Conn and his lovely wife, Donna, for spending four years with us. We only regret that it w asn’t 24. A confident, articulate, success-oriented president who earned the repect o f policy makers in B is marck is leaving. “Donna and I are leaving Dickinson State University with a tremendous feeling of fulfill m ent and gratitude for what we have been able to accomplish in working with a host of admirable people,” Dr. Conn says. “The faculty and staff are highly capable and dedi cated in advancing the educational m ission for this region. Individuals from across the community have also greatly supported the program s and activities of Dickinson State during our years here. We are pleased to have been a part o f this success in serving and in ensuring a bright future for Dickinson State. We will miss this region and its citizens a great deal.” A sign o f the university’s ascendant for tunes cam e in September, with a favorable mention in the U.S. N ew s & World Report ed itio n o f ‘A m e ric a ’s B est C o lle g e s” , Dickinson State was nam ed as one of the two top regional public liberal arts colleges in the 12-state M idwest region. The University was the only institution in North D akota to be named to the list. Dickinson State, which recorded an enroll ment o f 1,736 studenst in 1997, was the only four-year North Dakota University to grow in its student numbers. On the academ ic side, Dr. Conn worked to

finalize the realignm ent of academ ic program s and staff among tw colleges and 10 departments. Dr. Conn created a model, sine follow ed around the state, when he engineered the dual cred program , which allows outstanding high school seniors to simultc neously earn high school and college credit. Under his leadershij the West River Teacher Center was created as a partnership with th North D akota State D epartm ent o f Public Instruction to serv teachers in the region. “W orking with Dickinson State students has been a special joy fc m e,” Dr. Conn explains. “In my opinion, our students serve as m odel of industriousness and congeniality which should be emi lated across the nation.” “Philip W. Conn is going to be a tough act to follow at Dickinso State University,” concludes the Bismarck Tribune. “In shor Conn has energized the University. The challenge for the Stat Board of H igher Educaiton now is to recruit som ebody who ca continue the kind of work Dr. C onn has been doing and build on it.

Blue Hawk Men’s Hoops Build a Strong Season The Dickinson State University m en’s basketball team wound up the 19971998 season by winning their final three N D CA C gam es, earning second place in the conference season with it best record since 1989-1990. The Blue Hawks, led by N D CA C scoring cham pion Jonathan Wirth, a 60 senior guard and business m ajor finished the year 15-11 overall and 7-5 in conference play. W irth captured the ND CA C scoring title for a second straight season, connecting for 18.9 points per gam e while adding 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest. After getting off to an 0-2 start in ND CA C play, the Blue Hawks rattled off four straight conference wins to m ove up to second place in the league’s standing. Victories over M inot State, U-M ary, Jam estow n, and Valley City State had the team sitting at 4-2 at the season’s m idw ay point. After hitting a three-gam e losing streak that dropped the Blue Hawks to 4-5 in NDCAC, D ickinson State got hot again. After a hom e win against UMary, the Blue Hawks earned road victories over Jam estow n and Valley City to clinch the second-place spot in the conference and at least one home game in the NDCAC Tournament. The Blue Hawks lost to Jam estow n on a last second shot during tournam ent play to close the 1997-1998 season. The loss also m arked the final game for seniors Wirth, Aaron H orpestad, Duane M onlux, and Andy Swanson. A fter posting the best season of his six years at D .S.U .,Coach Daniel has plenty reasons to be enthusiastic about next year. Seven players will return to the Blue Hawks.

Things looking up for the Blue Hawk Women in Hoops

►Look of concentration. Teri Christian seeps an eye on her oppenent.

For the D ickinson State U niversity w om en’s basketball team, the only direction to go was up. A lthough the w om en’s team finished the 1997-98 season with a 2-23 mark, coach Serol Stauffenberg has good reason to be optim isitic. Am ong the players expected back next year is 5-6 guard Teri Christian, a junior physical education m ajor from Poplar, M ontana, who was second on the Blue H aw ks in scoring this past season at 10.1 points per game. Cari M urnion, a 6-0 forw ard and junior practical nursing m ajor from M elstone, M ontana, is also due to return after averaging 8.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Sadie Lech, a 6-1 sophom ore center and elementary education m ajor from Fullerton, will likely becom e a starter next season after positing averages o f 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds (second on the team) per game. Stauffenberg has also announced that Stacie Schorsch, a 6-1 center from Richardton-Taylor Hish School has signed a letter of intent to attend D ickinson State U niversity in the fall. An A ll-State selection and M iss Basketball finalist, Schorsch averaged 20.7 points, 12.2 rebounds and 6.7 blocks per gam e in her senior season. During her three-year varsity career, she shot 52 percent from the field, scored 1, 322 points, and pulled down 896 rebounds. M eanw hile, four Blue H aw k seniors concluded their basketball careers this past season. Forw ard Julie Luom a was among the ND CA C leaders in scoring. A lso concluding fine careers at Dickinson State were point guard Kim Frei, Alena Vondra, and Robyn Lorenz.

Track and Field Builds for the Future O f the two Dickinson State U niversity athletes who headed to the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Cham pionships in Tulsa, OK., in May, one was vastly experienced while the other was a com parative novice. Still, Jason Long and Heidi Wall, both Blue H aw k seniors, were equally excited to have the chance to compete at the National level M ay 21 -23. Long finished sixth in the shot put, adding to w hat was already an im pressive resume. In 1996, he was second in the NA IA in the shot put, and in 1997 he was third in the shot put and discus. Additionally, he was an NAIA Strength and Conditioning All-Am erican in 1996. Long additionally shared the honor of the N D CA C M ost Valuable graduating senior for track and field in 1998. He also has played football for the Blue Hawks and served as one of the anchors of the team â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solid offensive line.

The D.S.U. wom en also clinched a first place position in the region with 1745 points South D akota State U niversity was second with 1380 points. Pow ered by a national cham pionship in saddle bronc by junior Jerem y Crane, the Blue Hawk men wound up second overall at the 1998 College N ational Finals Rodeo in Rapid City, SD. It was the first time in the 49-yeai history o f the CNFR that a team from the six-state Great Plains Region earned national reserve team cham pior (second place) honors. The women, led by a third-place overall finish by sophom ore Faye LaD uke in goat tying, clim bed a notch tc eighth overall this year. LaDuke helped her squad move up from a 14th place standing on the final night by tallying 115 team points, thanks to a 7.2 second short-go run that was tied for second-best that night. “This was a truly great year for our program ,” says Gary W hite, advisor to the Dickinson State m en’s anc w om en’s rodeo teams. “A fter the year we had last year, it’s wonderful to com e back and have even greater sucess Our kids proved once again that they are am ong the best in the country.” By capturing the national reserve cham pionship, the Blue H aw k earned $10,000 in scholarship money for the University through the Copenhagen Skoal Scholarship Awards Program. “The scholarship m oney should definitely help us keep quality talent com ing to Dickinson State,” W hite says “W ith m any top athletes com ing back next year, w e’re looking to have m em orable years in 1999 and beyond.' One o f the returnees will be Jerem y Crane, who has now won two national titles in saddle bronc at the CNFR he earned his other national title as a freshm an and he said that the latest was equally sweet. As was the case all year, saddle bronc was the D.S.U. m en’s best event. On the w om en’s side, LaD uke postec times that put her in the third position in the nation. The D .S .U. team will be strong next year with many of the team members returning. The team is losing two saddk bronc riders, but will still have five m en returning. The w om en’s team hopes to add to their m em bership, but wit! 7 of the 9 returning will be strong.
