At first glance cramming four stu-dents into a temporary roommade for twowould seem like a negative beginning atBlackHills State University. However for

the “Fabulous Four” at Pangburn Hallthis adverse situation became the catalystfor a close friendship. Tina Weekly,Stephanie Croff, Bobbie Kastner andMelissa Byrne, all freshmen and 18 years-old, bonded in just two days.

“We were all afraid we would get

stuck with preppy chicks...and have tobash their heads into the walls,” saidWeekly.

The “Four” get along so well, theydid not want to be separated. ResidenceLife cooperated, allowing them to stay intheir overflow room for the year.

For many students, having to deal withfinancial aid has been ranked right up therewith having a root canal. But Congress istrying to do something about that.

In January Congressman Howard“Buck” McKeon of California introduced abill that would amend the Higher EducationAct an act which deals with financial aidprograms. South Dakota’s lone member ofCongress, John Thune, voted in favor of themeasure which expands Pell Grants andwork study programs, lowers student loaninterest rates to the lowest level in 17 years,lowers the administrative cost of education,streamlines the student loan process andforgives student loans for teachers workingin high poverty areas.

Anything to ease financial aid worrieswould be welcome to the Black Hills StateUniversity Enrollment Center. Studentsview the financial aid process as “a neces-sary evil, bureaucratic, sometimes frustrat-ing and terrifying, and never easy to under-stand,” said BHSU Enrollment CenterDirector Steve Ochsner. “But it is a verybeneficial process that allows 80 percent ofour students to receive funding to go toschool here.”

And to Thune, continuing that fundingis very important.

“Likemany SouthDakotans, Imademyway through college with the help of studentloans and part-time jobs. The student loanprogram helps many students get an educa-tion they couldn’t otherwise afford. It’s anincredibly successful program, and I’mpleased theHouse has taken action to expandit for the next generation of students.”

“At the same time, this measure makesit easier to apply for student loans. Rightnow the process involves a mountain ofpaperwork. This legislation will put the stu-dent aid program into the hands ofmanagerswith real world experience. For the first

Approximately 60 Black Hill StateUniversity students have been livingat the All Star Travelers Inn, guestrooms, and dorm common areassince the beginning of the fall semes-ter due to overcrowding in the resi-dence halls.

Mike Isaacson, director of theresidence life,gave several reasonsfor the overcrowding situation.

“There are several factorsinvolved. There are more freshmenenrolling this year, and many stu-dents are returning to the dorms fromlast year,” said Isaacson.

Eighteen students still need to bemoved onto campus from the motelseveral blocks away. However, manypeople at BH wonder why there arefreshmen living in a motel whilethere are some double rooms withonly one person living in them.

Isaacson stated that “there is acontract for every bed on campus.Some students have not shown upyet, but they still have not canceledtheir contracts.”

Holding these beds is not withinRoom and Board contract regula-tions. Term number 13 states thatassignment bed space is held until thefirst hour of classes each semes-ter/session. If the resident fails tocheck-in at their assigned residencehall, she/he may be assigned at analternate bed space until his/her

25 Years Ago

Controversy is rising over this stipulation in the visitation regulations forcampus dormitories.

The regulation governs dorm residents who have a guest of the oppositesex visit in their rooms.

This year residents of the dormitories are required to take turns servingas receptionists during part of the visiting hours each day. Visiting hours are2-10 p.m. Tues., Fri., Sun.; 12N-12M Sat.

“We have received comments from students who feel that sitting at thereception desk is an unfair restriction of their visitation rights that was arbi-trarily imposed,” said Kay Jorgenson, Student Senate President.

No receptionist means no visitation

Local motels open doors as campus dorms overflow20 Years Ago

About 110 BH students are living in ten local motels. Housing directorDr. William Hauck said the problem is that some students would like to geton campus but are committed to their landlords until the end of the semesterand must stay in the motels.

Dean of Student Affairs Dr. Marc Boesen said there is simply “notenough housing on or off campus and we are putting a lot of time into thisproblem.” Boesen said the college turned to the motels because it “neededhelp.”

Hauck said some motels are close for walking while others are not. Heis in contact with a local company to provide busing, and says that there willbe a charge that has not been set yet.

10 Years AgoSports Editor feels BH fans lack support BH teams need

All athletes must have a reminder as to why they want to win. The bestreminder to any athlete is his or her crowd. A crowd that cheers the team onand badgers the opponent throughout the game.

This is the very reason athletes prefer playing “at home.” Here they areconstantly reminded how important the win is and how good they can be.The crowd is instrumental in helping the team to win that “close one.” Nowonder nearly every team has a better home record than away.

How can we say we support BH teams when we are unwilling to evenwatch and cheer for them while they are right here on our own campus. Let’shelp them turn the season around and show a little BH pride.

5 Years AgoBHSU parking shortage continues

Parking is a common problem at most universities, but students at BlackHills State University feel the problem has gotten out of control.

Media relations estimates an enrollment as high as 2,850. This figure hasconsistently increased every year. Students commuting from surrounding areasadd to the problem.

Head of security Tony St. James was asked if the parking permits were oversold. He replied, “There is not overcrowding. Parking is available, but it is notbeing used to its fullest. Everyone thinks that they should be able to park next tothe building - which is impossible. When lots are full other alternative lots mustbe utilized, which requires some exercise - which we all could use.”

Dorm residents squeezed due toovercrowding... continued from page 1University withdrawal or non-registered sta-tus is confirmed.”

The contract says nothing about excep-tions to people losing their assigned beds ifthey are not checked in the allowed time.

Besides having students living inmotels, Pangburn Hall guest rooms werebeing used to house students as well. TheHall had four people living in each guestroom. According to Judith Haislett, the VicePresident of Student Life here at BH, thepeople who had been staying in these roomshave all been moved out with the exceptionof a group of four girls. Haislett said “Thesefour girls in the guest room at Pangburnhave begged to stay. They are willing to payfor the room they were put in together.”

Some individuals wanted double roomsas a single rooms; however, their requestswere turned down due to lack of space.Although the Residence life division allowsthe request for single rooms, there is noguarantee in the contract “terms and condi-tions” that the students will definitelyreceive the rooms.

“All of the late-comers are the ones in

temporary housing. The students who gottheir contracts in right away got into thedorms.

Iaascson pointed out. “Some of thesestudents came the day before school and saidthey needed to stay in a residence hall. Thesestudents were given the option of living inthe motel until there was space available.”

Even though these are currently majorissues, Isaacson is looking at the problem ashis first big challenge as a first-yearResidence Life Director.

“This is a good problem. It is a sign thatBlack Hills State is growing. It is definitely aproblem I’m willing manage. It is a commonproblem in many colleges, and each schoolhandles it differently. I could have made two-person rooms into three-person rooms, butthat didn’t seem very fair to everyone. I chosethe temporary housing instead.”

Currently 1/3 of the overflowed stu-dents are in motel rooms, 1/3 are commut-ing, and 1/3 are in temporary housing.

Haislett and Isaacson both made state-ments that all students should be on campusby Sept. 30.

Financial Aid on Congress agenda ...continued from page 1time, financial aid will be run like a businessrather than a bureaucracy,” Thune said.

Randy Chappell, a BHSU seniormajoring in accounting and political sci-ence, feels the complicated applicationprocess can be tricky for students. “Youhave to jump through a lot of hoops.Sometimes the process can intimidate youand make you feel like less of a person forhaving to beg for money,” Chappell said.

“The actual process is not that difficultif the student is careful about filling out thewhole application and in a timely manner,”Ochsner said. “It is when the student is notcareful and is late with the application thatwe run into problems.”

Curbing those problems andincreasing the availability and accessi-bility to financial aid is the main goal ofthe piece of legislation.

The bill, House Resolution Six, alsomakes college more affordable by reducingburdensome federal regulations and theadministrative costs associated with compli-ance. It eliminates penalties for studentswho work or save for their education andrestores the original intent of the G.I. Bill byexempting veteran’s benefits from beingcounted against students applying for finan-cial aid.

“Preserving and improving the studentloan system is vitally important to SouthDakota students,” Thune said. “Anything

we can do to increase the availability of stu-dent loans will help improve and expandeducation in South Dakota,” he said.

Other gains have also been made inCongress to improve the availability ofhigher education. As part of last year’sBalanced Budget Act, several measureswere passed that will help working classand middle class families pay the increas-ing cost of college, allow adults to go backto school for advanced training, and givemany low-income children who neverthought they could afford a higher educa-tion the chance to obtain one.

The HOPE Scholarship and theLifetime Learning Tax Credit were amongactions taken by Congress. The tax credit isworth up to $1,500 per individual and willhelp 14,000 South Dakotans pay for theirfirst two years of college.

In July 1998, students and adults wish-ing to pursue an advanced education alsobecame eligible for the Lifetime LearningTax Credit, which is worth 20 percent ofcollege expenses up to the first $5,000through the year 2002, and up to $10,000after 2002.

The amendments to the HigherEducation Act has passed both houses ofCongress and is in the conference commit-tee process. Officials at Thune’sWashington office expect the measure to bepassed by October.

Black Hills State University repre-sents a new world for first time stu-dents. While this new world can seemintimidating and overwhelming forsome, there are options for students onthe BHSU campus and outside withinthe community.

New students encounter issuessuch as what organizations to getinvolved in, finding a job, stress,financial problems, and getting sup-port, whether it be academic or social.Students can find assistance with allof these issues. The best place to startlooking for assistance would be onthe BHSU campus, but should not belimited solely to the campus.

There are over 70 organizationson the campus, which represent abroad range of interests. In additionto organizations, there are also recre-ational activities offered by theOuting Center. Students who wouldlike to join an organization or sign upfor activities can get more informa-tion at the Student Information Centerin the Student Union.

In an interview with Jane Klug,Assistant Director of the StudentUnion, she expressed how part of herjob and the organizations’ is to help stu-dents match their interests and goals

with a particular organization.Students interested in getting

involved with the community orchurch can pick up a schedule at theUnited Ministries or speak withLegia Spicer, the Director of theUnited Ministries. This student-ledorganization is also involved in thecollection of food and clothes andhas these items on hand for studentsin need of either one.

Resources in the community,outside of the college, are numerous.The Chamber of Commerce has dis-plays of maps, listings of events andbusinesses, and a wealth of otherinformation that is available to thepublic.

Local businesses are an invaluablesource of information. One of thegreatest attractions that Spearfish pos-sesses is the support community mem-bers show for students.

“Most business owners would beflattered to be approached by a studentand asked questions,” states ChristineWatson, Director of Tourism at theChamber of Commerce.

The community also offers organi-zations, support groups, and activitieswhich are available to students. If stu-dents can not find what they are look-ing for on campus they might want toexplore other possibilities within thecommunity.

Earlier this summer, Crazy HorseMemorial acquired 16 of the originalbeads that were used to purchaseManhattan Island from NativeAmericans more than 370 years ago.

In 1626 a Dutch trading colony wasestablished on Manhattan Island whichwas inhabited solely by NativeAmericans. The Dutch settlers securedtheir claim on the island by trading about$24 worth of beads and other small itemsin what became a legendary real estatetrade.

“It’s a definite dark period.American Indians had a different conceptof land ownership. They thought thebeads were a gift,” said DonovinSprague, Assistant Director of the IndianMuseum of North America when askedif the beads evoke a negative memory.

The beads are now more than 372-years-old, but they are said to be in verygood condition. Fifteen of the beads arecobalt blue, and one is white.

Dr. James E. Gillihan of NewHarmony, Indiana said, “These rare tradebeads are of priceless historical signifi-cance.”

Dr. Gillihan located, authenticatedand donated eight of the beads that arenow at Crazy Horse. An additional eighttrade beads were acquired by a Chicagoman. Another Chicago man has eightmore beads, which he says will be donat-ed to the memorial at a later date.

Gillihan is a Native American histo-

rian who is a nationally recognized arti-fact and antique appraiser. He specializesin beads and has a personal collection of25,000 beads. Gillihan has had twoManhattan trade beads for 25 years andhas been constantly searching for more.

Gillihan said, “Based on my researchand decades of experience in the field,there is no question whatsoever thatthese distinctive beads were among thoseused to buy Manhattan.” He went on tosay, “Beads are like fingerprints, andthese are easily identifiable.”

The beads will go on display at theIndian Museum of North America locat-ed at the Crazy Horse Memorial. Thebeads would be a prize for any museum,but Gillihan said, “They are perfectlysuited for the growing Indian Museum ofNorth America because Crazy HorseMemorial represents the North AmericanIndian in very distinctive and increasing-ly important ways.”

In addition, “it’s in the center of theBlack Hills in a world class museum,”said Sprague. “The museum representsall Native American tribes,” he said.

Mrs. Korczak (Ruth) Ziolkowski,chairman of the board of directors for theCrazy Horse Memorial expressed grati-tude to the men who donated the beads.“Based on what experts believe thesebeads to be, this set of artifacts is uniquein Native American history. We are espe-cially proud to be able to add theseremarkable beads to the collection of theIndian Museum of North America wherethey can be shared with our visitors fromall over the world,” Ziolkowski said.

I m a g i n eyourself after along day atwork. Youcome homeexcited to seeyour spouse.

Ten minutes before you pull in the dri-veway you’re thinking about givingyour significant other a big hug and akiss. You get to your door and open it;you hurry upstairs to see your lover.You open the door. Someone else isorally servicing your spouse.Yourspouse looks at you, smiles, and says“honey, this isn’t sex, its just Monicashowing me her friendship. Like hug-ging.”

The President has proven himselftoo untrustworthy to remain ourPresident. He has breached the delicatetrust granted him when he was electedPresident. The office of the Presidencyof the United States has become a veryunique position over the past 200 years.It is supposed to be an office of respect,dignity, and honor. However, BillClinton has managed to turn it into anoffice of disrespect and gutter politics.

Mr. Clinton has shown nothing bututter contempt for the American peopleby thinking it is okay to get on nationaltelevision and blatantly lie to them.Bill Clinton has completely destroyedany shred of credibility he may haveonce had. Bill Clinton has dug his owngrave and we should oblige him by fill-ing it in. One cannot lie forever and not

expect any consequences. Bill Clinton has done more

than just exhibit stupidity andirresponsibility; he has openlyand brazenly broken the law.He has lied under oath andobstructed justice (among vari-

ous other impeachable offenses.) Heshould no longer be our President.

Although several Republicans inCongress are just as guilty of scandal asthe President, they are not thePresident. These Republicans still havea moral obligation to do the right thing.Besides, maybe we can get rid of all thescumbags in Congress as well. If bytaking down the President we can getNewt Gingrich to resign also, we couldkill two sleazeballs with one stone.

The behavior of this President ismorally abhorrent. He has beenunfaithful to his wife and lied to herabout it. This is not the behavior weexpect from a President. Those whosay, “he is just a fallible man” have for-gotten one thing: the President hasalways been and always should be heldto a higher moral standard than aver-age. The President is a role model andshould not be allowed to behave in thismanner.

Clinton should have learned fromthe Nixon Watergate scandal; lyingcan’t fix your troubles. The truth isalways the best way to go if you havemade mistakes. Once again those wholearn nothing from history are doomedto repeat it.

We can no longer trust or believethis President. Bye-bye Mr. President.Please do not let the door hit you in therear on the way out. It would be a plea-sure to watch you go if Mr. Gore was-n’t waiting in the wings.

Pres iden tClinton wouldhave been bet-ter off if he hadinitially toldthe Americanpeople that he

did have an “improper” relationshipwith Ms. Lewinsky. Most likely thepublic would have forgiven him. Theyhave before (Gennifer Flowers). InsteadPresident Clinton chose to mislead thepublic, blatantly lying to them, denyingan affair, thus forcing the world toendure months of never-ending newsreports on the Lewinsky investigation.

I, for one, am sick and tired of theLewinsky matter. I am concerned thatthe world has been sucked into aLewinsky vacuum. In 1998, has therebeen any other news?

Clinton has finally left his mark inhistory (not only on the dress) as thePresident who brought the words “oralsex” into everyday conversation. BothPresident Clinton and the media haveexercised poor discretion. Clintonshould never have had an affair. Themedia should have used more finesse.

Unfortunately, President Clintondid have an affair. This displayed histrue lack of respect for women in thework place and women as a whole,especially his wife. Through theyears, working women have beenstrong supporters of the DemocratParty. It is ironic that the highestleader of the Democrat Party should

display such “cave man”behavior — behavior whichseeks to alienate severalgroups that make up theDemocrats’ strength.

And what about Hillary?She once was a leading advocate forwomen, but she has been taking anuncharacteristic “stand by your man”roll. I would have felt much better ifBill had apologized on national televi-sion with a black eye or lump on hishead as a result of a well—placed fryingpan.

On August 17, President Clintonadmitted he did have an “improper” rela-tionship with Ms. Lewinsky. While thiscame as no surprise, the graphic contentof the Starr report did. (The word“improper” was taken to new levels!)Clinton still claimed to have spoken withlegal accuracy. What does this mean? Itimplies that he does not know the defini-tion of “sex” and he does not think therest of the United States does either.President Clinton, ill-advised by his legalteam, still seems to think that this wholematter can be resolved by a technicality.

The issue is no longer about sex.The matter is clear cut. Breaking thelaw is breaking the law. If the Presidenthas perjured himself, he has broken thelaw. This raises the question: “Is thePresident above the law?” No, he is not.

It is not the Clinton White House, itis OUR (Democrats’, Republicans’, andthe American people’s) White Houseand you, Mr. Clinton, have trashed ourhouse. The facts have shown that Mr.Clinton is a liar and a cheat. These arecertainly not qualities of a good leader.It is time for you to step down Mr.Clinton.

To Impeach or Not to Impeach; That is the Question

POLITICAL

Opinions expressed on the political page are not necessarily theopinions of Black Hills State University or the Today newspaper.

The freshman year experience at BlackHills State University can be one of themost positive, rewarding times in a studentslife if one adheres to a few freshman tips.Many times the incoming freshman comesto school expecting it to be an easy transi-tion with few problems or road blocks toovercome, and in most cases it is.

Vice President of Student Life Dr.Judith Haislett had some good advice togive to academically challenged freshmanUse all the services available on campus.”

“If you think you’re going to need atutor, get one from the beginning. Don’twait,” she said. “We’re here to help you getA’s and B’s, not C’s and D’s. Don’t justsurvive. BHSU wants you to do the bestyou can do.”

At times you are plagued with ques-tions. What do I do next? Where can I gofor help? There is no need to panic. Youare not the first person to have these fears.Luckily there are people here on campus tohelp you with any problems or questionsyou might have. Class attendance goeshand-in-hand with your grade.Your classes need to be at the top of your

priority list. It also helps to keep the com-munication lines open between you andyour professor. Go to their office. Don’t beafraid to ask questions. The professorkeeps scheduled office hours and they arethere to help you.

Just because a professor doesn’t quizyou on a reading assignment does not meanthat you don’t need to read the materialassigned.

Said Sandra Cargill, Director ofStudent Development, “Don’t underesti-mate the details the instructor holds youresponsible for, don’t put off studying.”

“In high school you had a settling inperiod at the first of the year. It’s not likethat here. You have to hit it hard rightaway.” said Cargill.

If your sweating nails by now, take adeep breath. College is not all work andno fun. You have to have a social life.Support systems are a must for survival.Make friends. Talk to everyone. Don’tlock yourself up in a dorm room. You needto get out and experience everything. It’swhat college is about.

“Your paying a lot of money to behere. Be careful not to overextend yourselfbecause classes alone are a serious com-mitment,” advises BHSU senior Mark

VIEWPOINTThe people in the office should be

properly trained, so that they know how toadvise us.

-Tobin Bakkedahl, freshman

Let them develop the electronic fundstransfer system, where EAC just collectson. It wires the money here, instead ofsending checks. Because I really think itwould speed up the process tremendously.

-Kym Reir, senior

I think it needs to be more organized,and they need to let the students knowwhat they need to do. Nobody knows thefull capacity of where financial aid can go,or take you.

-Tara Brodkorv, freshman

They kept losing my papers. I had tokeep running back and forth. They need toorganize a little bit better.

Mix some great rock ‘n’ roll, add a touch of gut-wrenching blues and a lit-tle bluegrass. Throw in a pinch of world-class reggae, and top it off with somelightning and thunder. What do you have? A recipe for another great DeadwoodJam, circa1 9 9 8 . J o h nMcEuen broughthis considerabletalents as a musi-cian and exper-tise as showorganizer toDeadwood, host-ing a crowd-pleasing, two-day event thatleft music loversof all ages -including stu-dents from BlackHills StateUniversity -rocking and reel-ing.

The Jam offi-cially startedFriday evening,but JonathanMcEuen got ajump on otherperformers atD e a d w o o d ’ sSaloon #10. Theyounger ‘wizard’appeared withsome of hisfriends (includ-ing his father andmembers of theString Wizards,)at a benefit forarea residentZack Cain, whowas injured in a recent accident. Jonathan is the “middle” son in the family, andhas been a regular at the Jam for the past several years. His music is fast andhard, and he displays a surprising amount of talent.

The Jam got going around 5:00 p.m. Friday, when local Vince Converse tookthe stage. Converse played a mix of country, rock, and blues that had the crowdclapping and ready for more. By the time Corey Stevens took over, an enthusi-astic audience was primed and ready to boogie. Stevens, whose voice and pro-file bear an eerie resemblance to a young Eric Clapton, got the crowd movingearly, and kept things jumping throughout his hour-long set. A former elemen-tary school teacher, Stevensplayed off the crowd’s ener-gy and gave one of thehottest performances everseen in Deadwood. Someconcert goers said later thatStevens and his band was asgood as any they had everseen, anywhere. BHSU stu-dents could be seen through-out the crowd, clappinghands, stomping their feet,and swaying to the strongbeat.

“They were awesome;unbelievable,” said MikeCurley of Hot Springs.“Kenny Wayne (Shepherd)was great, but after Stevensgot done, I could have goneonstage and gotten a stand-ing ovation.”

One of Stevens’ bandmembers spoke withreporters after the show.“That was a really specialcrowd tonight. They werereally pushing us, you know?And when they give us apush, we have to push back,and it just kept getting better.

They made us play ashard as we can. On anaudience scale, theneedle would’ve beenoff the meter.”

Headliner and ris-ing-blues-star KennyWayne Shepherd tookup where Stevens leftoff, keeping the audi-ence clapping andcheering. A ring ofenthusiastic, foot-stomping enthusiastsimmediately formedaround the front of thestage, and grewthroughout the set.Shepherd’s ‘wicked’guitar licks washed thecrowd with traditionalblues, and mixed wellwith lead singer NoahHunt’s raspy vocals.The band gave a tight,professional perfor-mance, earning theirmoney, as well aspraise from concertgoers.

“This is reallywhat I came to see,”said Owen Carter ofGillette, Wyoming. “Ibought the first CD(Ledbetter Heights,) in‘96, and I’ve been aKenny Wayne fan eversince. It’s hard tobelieve this guy is stillin his teens.”

John McEuen, hisband, and sonsJonathan and Nathanteamed to give blue-grass lovers a treat,before making way forthe reggae sound of the “Wailing Souls,” a group of 10 Jamaicans who got a sur-prisingly warm response to their music.

“I thought they were just way cool,” said Linda Beecher, Rapid City, “Ihaven’t heard much reggae, but I really liked it, and their accents were just tooneat, maah-nnn!”

After the Wailing Souls came the hard-hitting Georgia Satellites, with a cut-ting, southern-rock sound that delighted many before rain interrupted their

show. “They’re just a bunch ofcountry boys, with a three-chord,get-drunk-and-be-somebody atti-tude that I can identify with,” saidMike Curley.

The rain returned, cuttingshort a performance by former“Traffic” members Jim Capaldiand Dave Mason. “Big House”performed well, but much of thecrowd was dissipating in theincreasingly strong rain, and head-liner Johnny Winter played a set toa crowd that was obviously readyto go home.

BHSU students were presentboth days, and all had positivecomments about the concert. “Thiswas a great way to end the sum-mer,” said one, “I guess I can starthitting the books now.” Anothersaid, “I’ve been here before, butthe two-day format works a lot bet-ter. This year was fantastic.”

An estimated 11,000 fansattended the ‘98 Jam. Althoughthere were reports of disturbancesFriday night, Deadwood policechief Dan DeNiere reported thatno serious problems were encoun-tered. All in all, it was a Jam toremember and cherish.

The story, written by CraigLucas, is a romantic comedy

about a young man and womanwho get married. The BHSUproduction stars Clint Baird andRose Jagim . Performances willbe October 8-10 at 8:00 pm atWoodburn Auditorium.

The South Dakota Arts Council(SDAC) is looking for professionalartists to enter the Artists-In-Schools(AIS) program. All professional artists,in any art discipline are eligible toapply by October 1, 1998.

According to the Guide toPrograms booklet from the SDAC,artists in AIS must be willing to travelthroughout South Dakota and work inresidencies year-round with all gradel e v e l s .Applications are accepted annually, butartists are endorsed for three years.

Everyone involved in AIS are pro-fessionals selected by panels of in-stateand out-of-state experts who evaluatethe quality of the artists’ work. AnArts-In-Education Panel reviews thebackground experience that qualifieseach artist to work in an education set-ting. Finally, the artists are approvedby the South Dakota Arts Council.

“The AIS has existed for more than20 years. There are two main purposesfor the program.The number one purpose is to placeartists into the classrooms so that thestudents can learn from them.The second purpose is to provide workfor South Dakota artists,” said MichaelPangburn, SDAC Arts EducationCoordinator.

The AIS Roster for 1998-1999includes: Mary Gales Askren, Leona V.Barthle, Tina Blatter, Laurie Block,Greta Bodogaard, Kato Buss, DarylNgee Chinn, Sally Cobau, AllisonHedge Coke, Commedia TheatreCompany, Dallas Chief Eagle, DavidAllan Evans, Mary Gen Fjelstad,Cheryl Peterson Halsey , DuaneHutchinson, Joyce Jefferson, DavidKubach, Nancy Losacker , PatMendoza , Bob H. Miller, RaneeRamaswamy, Marilyn Richardson,Thomas Lee Rickers, Tom Roberts,

Dawn Senior, Don Strachan, CameronWaters, Mary Wipf, and MarkZimmerman.

Tom Roberts, an artist in AIS, spe-cializes in theater and has been with theprogram for sixteen years.

“Last week I visited the Art Corpsprogram where we are trying to bringmore artists into the juvenile facility atCuster,” said Roberts when asked abouthis latest project.

Tina Blatter also has contributed toAIS for the past three years. Blatter, avisually impaired artist, teacher, andcounselor has presented art to work-shops from Denver to Brussels,Belgium.

“I really try to individualize thingson both elementary and secondary lev-els. My projects are very hands on. Iuse paper mache to make things such asmorracas and masks. I also teach stu-dents how to do a lot of tactile collagesusing alternative materials that kidswouldn’t think to use such as feathers,materials in sewing kits, and pieces ofclothing,” says Blatter.

Leona V. Barthle teaches Polishpaper art to students K-6 and has beendoing so for nearly ten years.

“Each pattern is different and whenyou’re done making a pattern it’s easy togo on and make more, because themethod is the same whether you’re mak-ing a small or large pattern,” says Barthle.

Marilyn Richardson has beenteaching dance to students K-12 for sixyears through AIS. She is currentlyworking on a special performancewhere she is making a Japanese folktale into a play.

“I love going to rural schools,because it seems like they appreciate itso much more. The exposure to the artsis limited and the students have somuch energy,” says Barthle.

Pangburn states, “The AIS is agreat program that provides organiza-tions and students as well as the com-munity with an opportunity to work and

“Stan, it’s John McEuen on line one,” Teresa said. Youcould have knocked me over with a feather. The “StringWizard” himself was on the phone. After a short conversa-tion, I floated out of the LawrenceCounty Centennial office on acloud. I was going to have dinnerwith John McEuen.

McEuen rolled into town lastThursday on the eve of the 8thannual Deadwood Jam, ready toplay music, act as master of cere-monies, and help coordinate thevarious rock and blues perfor-mances for the two-day event. Hetook time Thursday night to answerquestions about this year’s show,and reflect on past performances.

“It feels really good this year,”said McEuen, “This is the first timeit felt “right” to go two days. Ithink the town is ready for it.” The‘String Wizard’ went on to explainhis feeling. “I always try to judgethe reaction of the crowd in front ofthe stage,” he said, “and the crowdshere have been fantastic over theyears. It just felt like it was time to move to the next level.”

McEuen is, perhaps, uniquely qualified to judgeDeadwood crowds. He has been involved in all eightDeadwood Jams, helping local organizers contact prospec-tive bands, using his vast array of contacts in the enter-tainment world to persuade top names to play in a small,out-of-the-way market. “Deadwood is a hard place (forperformers) to get to…and from…you know? When youare travelling with a band, it can cost around $3,000 everyday you’re on the bus. Most bands need a Sunday showwithin driving distance to make it work.”

Once McEuen gets the band here, though, he says thetown’s atmosphere usually wins them over. “DelbertMcClinton (two years ago,) was going to fly in, do the

show, and fly out,” he remembers, “but he liked the placeso much that his band had to threaten to quit two days laterbefore he would leave,” McEuen laughed. Other legendarynames in rock and folk music also found the town to theirliking. “I remember seeing Arlo Guthrie wandering aroundtown the day after he performed. He came a day early andleft a day late.”

Moving from past to present, the ‘Wizard’ talked aboutthis year’s lineup. “I’m really excited about bring theWailing Souls in here. They are a group of Jamaican’s whoplay reggae - not something heard often around here.”McEuen the organizer then spoke about the difficulties“getting ten guys, nine in LA and one in New York, toDeadwood, South Dakota, during an airline strike…” (Theproblems were overcome, and the reggae artists performedin front of a wildly enthusiastic crowd.)

McEuen was also looking forward to young ‘blues’phenomena, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the three-chordattack of the Georgia Satellites, legendary rock artistsDave Mason and Jim Capaldi, and other performers. He isproud that his son Jonathan is a regular at Deadwood, andwas looking forward to performing with him later thatevening during a benefit performance for accident victimZack Cain, at Deadwood’s Saloon #10.

Planning sessions for the Jam go on year-round, with afrenzy of activity taking place the last two months beforethe show. Asked how he coped with the stress involved,McEuen replied, “I love my job. It’s that simple. Listen,we live in America. I don’t want to sound like some drum-banging patriot, but we live in a country where, if youdon’t like what you’re doing, do something else - becauseyou can.” Expanding on his explanation, McEuen said,“This town has some of the best people I know to workwith. Melody (Dennis,) Louie (LaLonde,) Joni (Hamann,)and the others are great. I surround myself with a bunch ofpeople who know what to do - sit back and watch.”

McEuen was also pumped about his new CD, titled(appropriately,) “The Best of John McEuen.” The multi-media package has a collection of favorite songs, newvideo’s, and biographical information. The video “MinersNight Out” was inspired by, and filmed in Deadwood, andis truly a great music video.

After a 30 year coaching career atBlack Hills State University, DaveLittle is now retiring his position ashead coach for the track and cross -country teams. Rather, he will spendthe majority of his time focusing onhis job as athletic director and directorof the Donald E. Young Sports andFitness Center.

“Mainly, the reason I decided toretire was because of my job situa-tion,”stated Little. “Being athleticdirector and building manager is a fulltime job. It takes up too much time andthe teams need someone who candevote more of their time to the sport.”

Coach Little will not be retiringwithout already achieving majoraccomplishments. Throughout hiscareer, he has lead his teams into win-ning 17 cross-country titles and 32track and field championships inmen’s and women’s competition. Hismen’s team won 12 consecutive titlesin both cross-country and track andfield. His womenís track and fieldteams won eight consecutive SDICtitles as well. Coach Little has alsobeen named NAIA District 12 coachof the year 14 times and this year hewas also named SDIC womenís coachof the year.

Coach Little claimed that most ofall he will miss dealing with the indi-vidual athletes. “They are really a spe-cial group of people. But, on the otherhand, I won’t miss coming home at3:30 in the morning on Sundays.”

As for the future of the teams,Little is predicting a successful year.

“Scott Walkinshaw will be thenew coach and he is really an excel-lent person for the job. I think the teamis in capable hands and I am lookingforward to watching a successful sea-son.”

With the growing popularity and acceptability of tattoosin today’s society, it is not uncommon to discover a hid-den or visible piece of permanent art on any given person.

However, fully-clothed,one would never guess theextent of Chea Mesa’s body art.

“I purposely did it so you can’t see my tattoos if Idon’t want you to.”

Mesa received her first tattoo at 15 after lying to theartist about her age. She went on to have another done sixmonths later and another six months after that.

“I do it because that’s what I like to do,” Mesa said.“It’s me.”

Five years and 35 hours of tattooing later, Mesa’sbody is extensively and elaborately decorated, including afull back tattoo that has yet to be completed. All of herwork has been done by tattoo artist and Black Hills StateUniversity sophomore, Jason Kimble.

Kimble, now 28, was first tattooed at 19 and begantattooing soon after.

“I started out air brushing, but tattooists made moremoney,” Kimble said. “I don’t regret it, but it turned out tobe a very aggressive lifestyle.”

The intense lifestyle of owning a shop for seven yearsis actually what has discouraged him from possibly everreturning to work in a tattoo shop again.

“It’s a violently competitive occupation,” he said. Aside from the negative attitudes between fellow

artists, Kimble respects the future of tattoos.“The people coming into tattooing now are artists,”

Kimble says.This is extremely beneficial when considering the

permanence of a tattoo.“Tattooing affects a person for the rest of their life, you

must have the respect to give them a tattoo that will lookgood for the rest of their life,” he said.

Professional respect is also important when contem-plating possible social perceptions.

“You’re going to be judged when you have tattoos.” Mesa has also realized that being tattooed, especially

to her extent, affects the way people perceive her. She hasendured various examples of discrimination.

“My dad disowned me at first. . .he’s better about itnow, though.”

There was even an instance at a restaurant that Mesaand Kimble were denied adequate service, being forced towait much past their turn for seating.

“We left. If that’s how they treated us we weren’tgoing to give them our business,” Mesa said.

All the rage, nowadays, are extreme sports. Sports that put you on the edgeand let you free-base pure adrenaline. Trusting their lives to their equipmentand skills to keep them safe, students were given the opportunity to learn howto rappel Black Hills State University’s own tower.

On August 31, the ROTC department on campus opened up the tower tothe students. The free class included the basic technique on how to safely rap-pel and what to do in case of an emergency.

When a student made it to the top of the tower, Sergeant First ClassDeMars hooked the student to the ropes and gave final instructions.

The hardest part of the entire endeavor was the initial leaning over the edgeand having only a rope holding you up.

“It was an unforgettableexperience,” said KatherineSchoenick. “It was quite anadrenaline rush, dangling faceup over a 25-foot drop.”

The entire purpose of thefree lesson was to drum upsupport for the ROTC depart-ment on campus. But the lackof participation in the event bythe students on campus did notbode well with the ROTCdepartment, who excepted agreater turnout.

“Those who showed upenjoyed themselves,” said SFCDeMars. “The rappelling is agood reflection of the chal-lenges in the program, bothphysical and emotional, suchas the natural fear of leaningover the tower.”

Greater participation inevents like this could expose alot of students to a new area oflife and possible career field.

Students were encouraged to see what is offered and get involved on Wednesday,Sept. 9, at Black Hills State University’s 7th annual Organization Fair. Out of the 70organizations on campus, 30 were represented including Campus Ventures, Math club,Sociology Club, and the Outing Center.

The fair was especially beneficial to freshmen by giving them exposure to clubsthey might not have know about.

“I think it’s really good for freshmen because it gives us a chance to do things welike and meet people with the same interests,” said freshman Kara Shores.

Upperclassmen also enjoyed theevent.

“It’s really great to see other clubson campus growing and to see morepeople join our club,” said seniorBrenda Randall of Campus Ventures.

Many clubs were happy with theresults of this year’s fair. Mark Proctorof Campus Democrats felt the fair wasespecially successful to his club.

“Campus democrats were pleasedto have the opportunity to inform vot-ers, recruit new members, and registerfuture voters,” said Proctor.

Jane Klug has been an integralpart of the Organization Fair since thebeginning.

“We provide opportunities for theorganizations to promote themselves,”said Klug of the work her and her col-leagues have done.

Time management? Who has time to manage time? For most students at BHSU,it’s a struggle to handle school, job, family, and social life. Time management sim-ply consists of hoping a class will get canceled, so you can catch up on other home-work.

Christa Fye, Retention Counselor at the BHSU Student Assistance Center, saysthat time management is a, “big issue that college students deal with, primarilybecause they are so busy.”

According to, “Keys to College Success,” and the Student Assistance Center,time management will help students find that much needed 20 minutes for a nap, stillget homework done, and pass their tests.

Fye recommends that students write down exactly how they are spending theirtime for one week, hour by hour.

“This process may help the student determine where they are spending too muchtime, or maybe not enough,” said Fye.

This timetable can then be used to make adjustments to crazy schedules. Fye alsorecommends a day planner for those students who need to list and prioritize theirschedules.

Another idea for successful time management taking clear notes during class lec-ture, this will save the time used to decipher them around finals week. Also, if thereis something you do not understand, ask questions in class or as soon as possibleafter. Take advantage of technology -most teachers at BHSU access their e-mail reg-ularly and answers to questions on e-mail can be printed out and added to notes.

According to, “About College and Stress,” an informational pamphlet, skippingclasses is one of the biggest causes of stress for students because they spend so muchtime making up for missed class time.

“Students need to balance things, ask themselves what is important,” says Fye.She also added, “Combined with going to class, for good time management studentsneed a study strategy. It is not recommended to study for more than two hours at atime; after this long the brain won’t absorb new information well. Prioritize thethings you need to study, make a list, and stick to it. Use this formula for successfulstudying: Study-Brake-Review, and study with soothing music in the background.Finally, study groups work well sometimes, but generally, studying alone is moreeffective.”

Some tips for exam time studying: first, make sure you attend class the daybefore the test day. You will learn important information like the exam format andtips on what exactly to study. Some professors will even hand out an essay questionahead of time. As you are studying, summarize the highlights on a single sheet ofpaper and make sure you take the time to review all notes and texts.

When the exam arrives on your desk, always read the directions, answer the easyquestions first and come back to the hard ones. On multiple choice tests, read everyquestion and narrow the selections down. Usually only one option is totally correct.On essay tests, always answer the question directly and don’t be afraid to do a roughdraft and organize your thoughts.

Most importantly, says Fye, “It’s impossible to get everything done. Time man-agement is something everyone continues to work on....it’s a lifelong skill.”

If students continue to work towards time management success in college, Fyesays that it can do nothing but benefit them in later life.

For more information on this subject, the Student Assistance Center is located inCook 119.

Time management andBHSU go head to head

For those of you wondering about thisheadline, you have not overlooked thiscampus’s radical and ambitious OutdoorClub. The fact is that the Outdoor Club,while having official COSO recognition,has not been active for several years. Now,under the direction of Jane Klug and theleadership of Shannon Proctor, the OutdoorClub is being hiked back into the studentsbody’s list of extra-curricular options.

The first meeting was held on Friday,September 18. Initially, the Outdoor Clubwill be a vehicle for the students to advise

the Outing Center on what kind of trips theywould like to see for the spring semesterand beyond. Club members envisioned theclub as being a hub for like-minded peopleto come together and organize big moun-tain-biking and backpacking trips (i.e.Moab, Utah or The Big Horns), canoeingand snowshoeing expeditions, ropes cours-es, wilderness survival and first aid training,and whatever other ideas people will packinto the first official meeting on Thursday,October 1 to be held at 6 p.m. in the OutingCenter/Game room.

This is a really amazingchance to fix your ropes to agreat opportunity. Unlikeother organizations that havean established agenda andmeans of operation, theOutdoor Club can and will beanything that the studentbody wants. So, to all of youbrave souls ready to makeyour bootprint on the face ofBHSU, come on out and riskand adventure with theOutdoor Club!

Have you ever wondered why sportsmedicine professionals advise the use of acold modality in the first fewdays following an injury? Wehave very good reasons andresearch to quantify why wesay ‘ice it’.

After the body has beeninsulted, it reacts in a system-atic manner. This is referredto as the inflammatoryp r o c e s s .There are three phases to thisprocess. The first of thesephases is inflammation orswelling. When the bodyswells after an injury it is try-ing to protect itself from fur-ther insult. It is also trying toget rid of waste products thatleak into the area. The reasonwe limp after a lower extrem-ity injury is because ofswelling that is not allowingour body its normal range ofmotion thereby protectinginjured structures.

Immediately after injury,sports medicine professionalsfollow four principles. Theseare: ice, compression, eleva-tion and rest or I-C-E-R.Other methods include R-I-C-E or P-I-E-R (the ‘P’ is forpressure). Either way, theprinciples remain the same.So, why ice? Ice constricts broken capil-laries making it more difficult for swellingto pour out of them. Ice also decreases themetabolic demands in the injured area,increases the viscosity of fluids in the area,decreases muscle spasms, and has an anes-thetic effect.

Opinions differ on how many consec-utive days after an injury you should ice.

Three days is considered a MINIMUM. AtBHSU, we continue icing until theswelling has decreased and the athleteexhibits an increase in their range of

motion. In many cases, the athlete will notheat at all and will continue to ice as longas they are in their competitive season. Iceis always used after activity. If you are indoubt as to whether you should heat or ice,ice is considered a safer modality. In somecases of circulatory disturbance (such asRaynaud’s disease) ice is not indicated.

Methods of icing include ice bags,

whirlpools, frozen peas, snow and whatev-er material that will decrease tissue tem-perature. With the above methods, a 20-25minute treatment every ninety minutes will

do fine. Prolonged immersion inan ice or slush bucket is not rec-ommended. The reasoning behindthis is a documented phenomenonknown as Hunter’s Reflex.Hunter’s Reflex occurs when abody part gets too cold and thebody will reflexively dilate theblood vessels in the area to re-warm the part. Another veryeffective method of ice applica-tion is known as ice massage. Filla styrofoam or paper cup withwater and freeze it. Once frozen,you peel the cup down to exposethe ice and using a circularmotion, apply the ice directly tothe skin. This method worksextremely well for bruises, shinand low back pain and manyforms of tendonitis. With thisdirect application, treatment timeis reduced to 10-12 minutes. Theremaining ice can be put back inthe freezer for the next treatments.

Ice is a modality that can beuncomfortable initially. Howeverthe more treatments you experi-ence, the more accommodatedyour body gets to the sensations.Professionals have described foursensations a person experiencesduring a cold treatment. Initially,the body part will feel cold fol-lowed by a burning sensation. An

aching sensation comes next followed bynumbness. Normally the numbnessoccurs within 5-7 minutes. A point to bemade here is that you must go through thefirst three sensations before numbnessoccurs. If the body part is taken out andre-warmed, you will need to go throughthe first three sensations over again.There is no way around it. Don’t be sur-

prised if you experience pain the entiretreatment if the injury has just occurred.Remember you have just damaged nerveendings in the structure.

In coming editions of the Todaynewspaper, the BHSU Athletic TrainingStaff will attempt to make you moreaware of your options concerning yourbody to prevent and treat injuries. Weinvite any students interested in obtain-ing the requirements needed to become

(NAPS) An increasing number of doc-tors are taking a closer look at how babiesdevelop.

This has become possible thanks to thedevelopment of ultrafast magnetic reso-nance imaging (MRI) techniques, accord-

ing to the American College of Radiology(ACR).

MRI Test can help radiologists exam-ine the brain of fetuses in wombs to betterdetermine if the vital organ is developingnormally, a University of Pennsylvania

study reveals.“Overall, using MRI in this manner can

help physicians better council the patientsand better manage a pregnancy” said Dr.Larissa Bilaniuk, the study's author and apediatric neuroradiologist at Children’sHospital, University of Pennsylvania.

Bilaniuk said not all regions of the fetalbrain are easily shown with an ultrasoundand, at times, there is uncertainty about anybrain abnormalities. This is where MRI canhelp.

Brain abnormalities can be detectedwith MRI. Normal development of thebrain can be studied and followed withMRI exams.

Prior to the introduction of usingMRI to help evaluate the normal devel-opment of a fetus, research was per-formed to help make sure the techniquewas safe. So far, numerous animal stud-ies have revealed no risks associated withthe procedure. Moreover, this technolo-gy can be used to study fetuses duringthe second and third trimester of preg-nancy. MRI does not use radiation tech-nologies.

Reshaping attitudes on weight concepts

(NAPS) Self-esteem. It’s morethan a dress size or pounds on a scale.

Increasingly, women are beingencouraged to think that there is noideal body shape or weight that theymust strive to achieve only a healthfullifestyle that will in turn help lead themto a healthier weight.

The first step to achieving thisgoal, according to a number of weightmanagement and behavior modifica-tion authorities, is a positive mindset.To that end, Kellogg’s Special K cerealhas teamed up with Shape UpAmerica!, the healthy weight cam-paign mounted by former U.S.Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, tobring this issue to the forefront.

This is a particularly important ini-tiative in light of a recent study of girlsin grades 6-12 conducted by Dr. AdamDrewnowski of the University ofMichigan. The study found that manyyoung girls develop a negative bodyimage with the onset of puberty at age12 or 13, and revealed a disturbingincreased prevalence in dieting amonggirls, some as young as age ten.

“Too many American womentoday are paying the price when theystrive for the cultural perception of anideal body shape,” said Karen E. Kafer,Director of Communications forKellogg USA, the makers of Kellogg'sSpecial K cereal. “ Its time for womento reshape their attitudes about bodyimage so they can focus on what's real-ly important--achieving a healthylifestyle.”

To help women reshape their atti-tudes, Kellogg's Special K and ShapeUp America! have created a bodyimage symbol called “The FeminineIdeal” that offers women four basictips to consider:

• Eat healthy foods. Choose moregrains, vegetables and fruit.

• Refuse to skip meals. Eat threemeals a day. Start with breakfast.

• Keep moving. Add 30 minutesof extra activity every day.

• Be positive. Make every day intoa great one.

“The goal is to end the confusionby letting women know that a positivemindset and some simple changes indiet and activity can add up to big div-idends in terms of better health,” saidBarbara J. Moore, Ph.D., President ofShape Up America!

The Back Hills State Universitywomen’s volleyball team cam outon top in the 1998 Yellow JacketInvitational held Sept. 11-12. Theinvitational took place at theDonald E. Young Center andincluded teams from SouthDakota School of Mines andTechnology, Grand View Collegeand Dakota Wesleyan University.In winning the championship, theYellow Jackets displayed theeffort they’ve put into the team towork as a whole.“We have really progressed as a

team,” said BHSU freshman mid-dle hitter Blakelee Binning.In the first match on Friday

night, the Jackets made a quickcome back, after getting off to aslow start, against the DakotaWesleyan Tigers to win 15-8, 15-5, 15-12. A primary factor leadingto the victory of BHSU wasWesleyan’s difficulty in returninga majority of the serves during thematch.Head Coach Naomi Hatfield

said, “One of the strengths of theteam are their aggressive serves.”Aggressive serves weren’t the

only factors which led to the vic-tory in the second match againstthe Grand View Vikings onSaturday (15-8, 15-7, 15-7). TheJackets played the net very defen-sively and made kills effectivelyfrom every spot on the court.“We have been putting a lot of

work into our hitting and block-ing,” said Binning.The flow of the game changed

shape when BHSU met up withthe Tech Hardrockers on Saturday.The Yellow Jackets conqueredTech with the scores of 15-9, 15-17, 15-6 and 15-5. The Jackets gotoff to a clean start which quicklyturned into a back and forth strug-gle. Tech also played the net verydefensively but the Jackets foundtheir way aroundthe blocks andexposed quickcoverage skills.The skill exhibit-ed by the YellowJacket team gavethem the upperhand at the netonce again.“The play of

the game isinconsistent attimes but theoffense gets bet-ter every time,”said Hatfield. “We expect toughcompetition but believe we have agood chance at the SDIC champi-onship,” she said.The Yellow Jackets went into

the tournament a very strong teamwith eight returning players andfour new players. Although theywent into the tournament withstarting sophomore Heather Userainjured, they proved to be a verydependable, hard working team.Volleyball fan John Hayward

said, “The team played like a con-

nected unit; when they made mis-takes, instead of falling apart, theycame closer together.”In season-opening action, Black

Hills State went 1-3 at theNorthwestern (Iowa) Invitational.The Yellow Jackets downedMount Mercy (Iowa) 15-13, 15-5,15-11, but fell to KansasNewman, 15-11, 15-6, 4-15, 15-7;St Ambrose (Iowa), 15-5, 15-8,13-15, 5-15, 15-12; and Mount

The American Scholastic Press Associationrecently released results from their spring ’98 compe-tition, awarding the Black Hills State UniversityToday newspaper a first place berth in the collegesand universities with enrollment of 2500 and over.

The competition, which judged over 2,000 news-papers, placed the Today with 23 other papers acrossthe nation as first place winners. The Today receiveda total of 910 points out of a possible 1000 in six cat-egories: content, page design, general plan, art, adver-tising, and illustrations, editing, and creativity.

The ASPA commended ’97-’98 editor-in-chiefNatalie Marsh, for the publication, stating that thepaper was a credit to the school. Marsh, however,extended congratulations to all of those responsiblefor the quality of the paper.

“I was pretty excited,” said Marsh, “but I didn’tdo it myself. People forget that it takes a team of indi-viduals to make a newspaper like this every produc-tion. I was surrounded by a very strong and creativegroup.

“The only goals I set formyself were tomake theToday seen by those on campus as a serious newspa-per and to have it become something the entire cam-

pus looked forward to.”The BHSU Today beat newspapers from schools

such as Rutgers University, TexasA&M, Hawaii Pacific University,and Robert Morris College.

“I am really proud of the workthe staff and co-advisors SteveBabbitt, Paul Kopco, and Dr.Abdullah Farrokhi have done,”said JimCargill, former dean of theCollege of Arts and Humanities.“The quality of the newspaper hasreally gone up this year.”

This is the first time since theearly 1970’s that the Today hadreceived an award and caps off ayear of change for the publication.The paper relocated its officeacross campus at the beginning ofthe school year into a smaller office, changed the lay-out software, obtained a new advisor, and more thandoubled the pages produced each issue.

“This award certainly vali-dates the hard work the staff putinto the paper this year,” advisorSteve Babbitt said. “I couldn’t beprouder of them.”

American aid in theVietnamWar had ended. It would beten years before the people of the United States would electan actor president. No one had ever heard of a Cherynobl, a

Unibomber, orWaco, Texas. NASA had not sched-uled a Challenger mission.

It was 1974, and there was still a wall separat-ing East andWest Germany, and no hope of it com-ing down existed. No one dreamt of an Oklahomabombing, and people of the U.S. did not forsee the

next Armed Forces skirmishtaking place in a desert overoil.

It was back when people overseas stillthought that Nike was a mythological Greekgod, and Jamie Lee Curtis was just a B-moviescream queen. Back then Elviswas still alive and the Black HillsState College newspaper was TheAnemone.

The Black Hills Anemone was named after the South DakotaState flower, the Pasque, amember of the genusAnemone.The news-paper covered issues dealing with Vietnam Veterans, the new FMradio station on campus, and BH “Stinger” baseball teams.

The newspaper was changed to theAnemone Today in August of 1974 by the edi-torial staff. Public relations directorAl Guntherstated that the change came about because fewpeople knew what the name meant and evenfewer could pronounce it.

Only one year later the name officiallybecame The Black Hills State Today in order togive the newspaper what Gunther, who had just become itsadviser, called “a timely perspective.”

The coverage of the paper, however, did not change.Throughout the early 80’s the paper remained very campus-ori-ented, with a great deal of emphasis onsports and college events.

By the early 90’s the newspaper con-tained more editorial opinionand often seemed geared towardentertainment than toward pro-viding information. Its focusbegan to shift outward, with lesscoverage of sports and activitiesand more stories concerningsocial and political issues onand off campus.

In 1997 editors NatalieMarsh and Brandon Ceglian

expanded the newspaper from 12 to 20 pages andadded color photos and spot color. This was a dramatic change whichadded greatly to the look of the publication and won the Today anASPAaward (see related article).

The ASPA had few suggestions for improving the paper.Considerations ranged from the use of worldly currentevents and using section flags to revamping the final pageto attract attention.

The new look of the BHSU Today incorporates thesesuggestions. The publication has also included color pho-tos, new pages, and a community focus. The staff intendsto not only service the campus community, but create a tra-dition of award-winning newspapers at BHSU.

Throughout its history, the appearance, content, andfrequency of the publication has changed repeatedly.These

changes mirrored the changing char-acter and times of the students whoproduced and read it, and will contin-ue to do so as the Today evolves.
