KBSUheads to new Simplot-Micron home, . .'

Leslie TeegardenStaff Reporter

While you will continue tofind. KBSU in the same loca-tionsonyour AM and FMdial,you will no longer find thestaff in the' CommunicationBuilding. ,

For several years, the BSURadio Network has recog-nized the need for a larger fa-dlity. By this coming Sept. 15,the radio station will be movedinto their new location in theSimplot-Micron. TechnologyCenter. , .' ,

KBSUStationManagerPaulKjellander said the radio sta-tion plans to complete themove without interfering withprogramming or inconve-niencing the audience.

Since the mid 19805, a por-tion of the second floor of theComm. Building served as thehome of KBSU.Kjellandersaidthe location was sufficient forthe needs of the radio stationuntil they experienced an in-crease in staff and students andbegan to provide a wider ser-vice area.

In addition to KBSU-FMand -AM, the BSU Radio Net-work includes KBSW in Twin

Falls and KBSM in McCall.Kjellander said the networkalso plans, to start a new PMstation in Boise - KBSX.

The radio network willnow occupy three rooms onthe second floor of the Simplot-Micron building. The move tothis location will increaseKBSU's square footage fromapproximately 2,311'to 4,106square feet.

Tentative plans suggest thephiIosophy department will bemoving into KBSU'sold head-quarters. Currently, the phi-losophydeparbnentislocatedin the library, which will beundergoing renovation.

Idaho Small Business hasmoved out of the Simplot-Mi-cron Center, and the facultycomputer lab has condensedand moved into another roomin the building.

There is a tremendousamount of work involved inmoving a radio station,Kjellander said.

"The university has been agreat environment to work in.There is a lot to coordinate,and we have worked withsome very helpful and hard-working individuals." statedKjellander.

Board bungleRecently, the State Board ofEducationhasassWned the

reins of the selection process for the University's nextpresident. IthasbecomegIaringlyobviousbynowthat theSBE is in danger of committing a tenible bungle at BSU'sexpense. ','

The sad punchllneis that a poor selection could cripplethe university and the city for a generation.

Semiftnalists for the post who came to Boise for inter-views were treated like they were lucky to be allowed anaudience with the Board. After not even picking them upat the airport, and te1ling them to avoid any contact withthe campus and its personnel, they cemented the insult bybarely making quorum at the interviews.

There's a word for this: shabby.The Board-always a tenuous mix of concerned citi-

zens and political hacks, barely tethered to academicreality by Executive Director Rayburn Barton~ms tothink that they have nothing to sell. Presidential selectionis not only the process of finding the right person, it is alsoconvincing that person that this is where they want tospend the bulk of their advanced professional life.

One campus administrator, who had justadmiUed thatthey wouldn't be interviewed for fear of losing their job,pondered that searches for middle management of auxil-iary services are conducted with more integrity than theSBE's diaI-a-Prez. .

No self-respecting leader could emergefrom the Board'smiscues and haIf-gesmres with anything other than aneducated skepticism about coming to BSU.

So the most qualified candidates drop out-how nice.Even as this neglect becomes clearer, rumors continue

to circulate more wildly that the search itself is a hollowformality, meant to lend legitimacy to the betrothed: formerlSU Bengal John Hutchinson.

Hutchinson's relationship with the Board, includingmany of its current staff such as Rayburn Barton, reads liked~tiny. At every occasion he has gone out of his way tostroke the collective SBEego and stoke their control fetish.

The latest rumor has narrowed the actual field of candi-da\E!Sdown to two: HutchinsonandJoseph Coxof SouthernOregonSta\eCo\\ege. Of course, those higbeoougb to be inthe \mow are unwilling, even afraid, to talk on the record.

Where's Dr. Deep Throat when you need him? .And that is the real tragedy about the State Board's

callous indifference. BSU has been shrouded in a climateof fear since the firing of fonner President John Keiser lastfall. Shurtliff s gruff and secretive management comes offlike a loose cannon on a power trip.

The Board's reluctance to reach out to the faculty andBSUcommunity during the searchhas only reinforced thenotion that the political forces in this state are arranged tosecure a perennial dominance for the U of I. '

The Board could do worse than to realize that somehealing is in order. It's time that they came clean with themurkierdetails:WhatisJohnHutchinson'srelationshiptoBoard staff? What is the truth about the Board's plans forsalary? How much is campus feedback from the finalists'whirlwind visit at the end of5eptember going to affecttheBoard's decision? ~

TheRiver of No Return wildernesscomplex is the largest chunkof roadless country left in thelower 48. Itis a treasure troveof adventures, bastion of peaceand solitude, a place wherewilderness, that ever-rarer,ever more precious and evermore controversial element,yet survives in substantialpieces.

Even here the wildernesscontinues to diminish. Twolarge, unpretected roadlessareas on the Nez Perce Na-tional Forest are currently un-der siege by the U.S. ForestService. The USPS is con-structing 150 miles of newroads throughout the Mallardand Gospel Hump roadlessareas, and plans to cut 80 mil-lion board-feet of timber over5 years via the Mallard andCove timber sales.

These two areas constitutethe last corridor of Wild coun-try linking the three large Cen-tral Idaho Wildemess areas.Thus they are critical for re-covery and protection of rareand threatened wildlife such

Choosing to oppose roadconstruction through directaction, on August 10 EarthFirst! blockaded the GrouseRoad by putting one person.on a giant tripod in the road-way and locking two othersby their necks to machines.They were' greeted withthreats from the county sher-iff and were eventually ar-rested (after halting con-structionforeight hours) andtaken to Grangeville.

The larger challengeDr. John FreemuthSpecial to Tht Arbiter

The recent activities ofEarth First! have againbrought this group to the at-tention of many Idahoans.How are we to think of thisgroup, known both for a pas-sionate stance in defense ofwildlands, and for the ex-tremesofthatpassion throughactivities such as placingspikes in trees for thepurposeof breaking saw blades?

There are several pointsworth thinking about. Re-gardingtheactsof dvil disobe-dience_"monkey-wi'enching,"in thelanguageoftheday-weneed to understand the tradi-tion of dvil disobedience in theUS.Weshouldrememberthatwe have a long traditional ofprotest against what some per-ceivedas unjust law, starting atleast with the BostonTeaParty,if not earlier. ' .

But.we~ou1d remembertoo,that"dvildlSObediencealso cames With it a respon-sibility to bear the conse-quences of breaking what isperceived as unjustlaw. Thereis nothing so powerful, somewould say, as seeing peopleimprisoned for an offense thatappears unjust, such as sittingata whites-only lunch counter.

Finally, there $0 is a cleartradition of non-violence indvildisobedience, which mayexplain some of the uneasi-ness regarding activities suchas tree spiking. People, then,need to see the.activities ofEarth Fll'St!in the context of

thedvildisobediencetradition,inordertomakemoreinformedjudgements about their appro-priateness.

We also need to understandthe politics of what is going onhere, It seems obvious to methat Earth Fll'St! allows moremoderate environmentalgroups to operate from posi-tions with more public support,remembering at the same timethat thisiswhy Earth Firstl wasfounded, as a protest againstthemoderate, "compromising"environmentalists.

for all that is wrong with thepublic lands of the West.

All this is to say that we re-ally don't seem to have much ofa space today where we can sitdown and work out the diffi-cult issues facirig public lands.

Perhaps it is time to reflecton the words of WallaceStegner. He said: 'Westernerslive outdoors more than peopleelsewhere, because outdoors ismainly what they've' got. For

The p8!king problem con- ..tinues to be a hot subject asclasses resume this fall. ,

BSU fresident, LarrySelland announced in his ad-dress on Aug. 24 that a newly

. formed FutUre's Committeehad concluded in thelrstudiesthat parking should be their'number one priority.

Thisconclusionwasarrivedat by a survey of responsesfrom 1,200 queslionairesdls-tributed among BSU commu-nity members. A total of 848responses were collected.

But the issueis much largerthan just the limited numberof parking spaces and thenumber of cars trying to ac-cess those spaces. For therecord: Some spaces were lostthis summer, others weregained. In the end, the totaliricreasedbyapproximatelySOspaces.; JohnFranden,executiveas-~istant to the president ~dhead of BSU's TransportationCommittee, stated that the is-

Allen Dalton is '" aneconomicsinstructorwithsomepretty atypicalideas about howthe government works andhow it should work. As thedirector of the Center for the

. ;," Study of Market Alternatives,Dalton seeks to limit the role ofgovernment, both locally andnationally, and promote theideals of Ii free market

The center, currently 10:catedat2285 University Drive,was established in 1976 as anon-partisan, tax-exemptpolicy research institute dedi-cated to the principles of indi-vidualliberty,linutedgovem-ment and free markets.

Similar centers are locatedacross the country at universi-ties such as Auburn andGeorge Mason. Dalton said itis important to be on or near acampus so there is interactionwith students.

Dalton considers himself aliberal, more precisely a freemarket liberal or classic liber-alist. But Dalton said the wordliberal has beencorrupted overtime in America.

"There has been a corrup-tion of the word liberal in theUnited States:' Dalton said."ThOsethatcall themselves lib-era1sor are called liberals tendtoravor stateinterventioneco-noInically and socially. In theu.~.,a1iDeralisonewhowants 'Flre66ht. from --'----'----,---'----~
