The staff of Western Concept decided to change the way the paper is produced. The paper is produced for the students by the students. All students are welcome to submit articles to the paper. The fall semester had a staff of David Brauhn and Heather Kransky as managing editors, and Robert Lynam as sports editor. Kelly Johnson and Holly Vander Vorst handled the advertising. Several others contributed the articles. Dr. Stephen Robbins was the advisor all year. The Spring semester class of Editing and Production took over the entire production with no acting editors. The Class was responsible for finding and writing the news articles, page layout and design and distribution of the paper. Courtney LaFave, one of the staff said, " This is a great hands on experience."

he D.S.U. University Players have been really busy this year. In January they presented the children’s show The Emperor’s New Clothes’ under the direction of

Marty Saboto. The show took place in a bare castle that was falling apart. This was the perfect set up for laugh-out-loud one-liners and slap-stick comedy. The two bigest jokers were a pair of mid-evil con-artists named Snip and Tuck who tried to take the Emperor for all they could get In March, the University Players sponsered a student directed play called ‘A Girl’s Guide to Chaos’. When asked about the play, Mark Spitzer, the director said, ‘Girl’s Guide is a love story, a romantic story, a little racey and a lot of fun'. Josh Amundson, the president of the University Players added, This year has been great, and I would like to especally like to thank trigger for all of his hard work.’

W h o s h o u l d be the stupid o ne? Snip (Don Ehli) and Tuck(Casey Scherer), battle over who is stu pid.

The second play of 1998 was the poignant The Babvdance. This serious drama was centered around the struggle of a weathly couple unable to concieve. The couple decided to adopt the unborn baby of a poor uneducated couple. The play focused on the realtionships forged through this difficult time. Stage manager, Lisa L. Ouhl, said T h is cast was fun to work with. I have seen the humorous sides of these actors and it was exciting to watch them stretch their talents/

we tried something new with Hilltop. We decided to go with a

mostly scripted show.’, said director, Idelle Badt. The show was

BlueHawkWiesflirg The Dickinson State U ni versity Blue Hawks w restling team grappled toward trem en dous success entering the 42nd Annual W restling Na tional Championship at Lindenwood U niversity, St. Charles, MO. Seven-ranked Blue Hawks, coached by Thadd o'D onnell, qualified twelve w restlers to wrestle at the national cham pionship--the maximum number of w restlers a team can qualify to the tourney. This is a clear indicator of the Blue Hawks success.

Four Dickinson State Uni versity w restlers earned AllAm erican honors at the N ational A ssociation of Intercollegiate A thletics (NAIA) tounam ent March 19-20. To earn this prestigious status, a wrestler must finish amoung the top eight in their respective w eight class. Brett N edens, a 165-pound junior, business adm inistation major from Hardin, MT, who finished third place overall acheived this status, along with Ben Beckler, Jesse Beckler, and Matt Meyer. Ben, a 141-pound senior

secondary education major from Mandan, was picked from the begining to be a contender, placed fourth. Along with this achievm ent, Beckler surpassed the 100-win mark in January, proving his consistency and extreme com petitiveness. Jesse Beckler, a 133-pound sophomore also from Mandan earned the honors, and Matt Meyer, a 197pound business adm inistration major from Gladstone, both placed sixth in the tournament. C ongratulations for another great season!

DSU Softball Softball team young but determined In its fourth year as a sport at Dickinson State University, the women's softball team is dom i nated by youth, but filled with determination. With only two seniors on the squad this year, Coach Dave Moody will be counting on his underclasmen to fill spots on the feild. Moody says his recruiting efforts paid off this year with 10 new faces on the team, 9 of those are freshmen. "W e are a freshmen-sophomore dominated team ," Moody says. "But I am confident the team will show im provem ent this sea son and I feel very optimistic this squad will be more com petitive with NDCAC team s." This year, Moody will have more players to work with as the Blue H aw ks' roster boasts 18 players; lastyearit was 12. "That's a sizeable improvement," Moody adds.

Among the Blue Hawks returning to the squad this year are two seniors who will con tribute a lot of experience in the feild-Lindy Alaxander, and infeilder from W eyburn, Sask., and Vikki Rose, a utlity player from Corvallis, MT. From the bullpen, sopho more Dana Cameron of Melita, M anitoba, and freshmen Crys tal Rust of W eyburn, Sask., will provide the pitching for the Blue Hawks. "W e w ill be a better team, defensively, this year, and we should be better from a hitting standpoint too," M oody says. "W e've been practicing hard since m id-January, and this squad is eager and ready to beging the season." The Blue Hawks opened the season on March 27th.
