The following are some of their comments. I couldn't decide what I really wanted to do, and my mom sort of talked me into going up here. The only thing I can think of that I would like to see at BJC is some type of transportation, like buses, for kids to get down town. BJC is a slightly modified high school. I'm not putting the school down, but I think it needs more PIZZAZ. And I think that could be solved by a better athletic program and more school functions like dances. Too much emphasis on class attendance—Too personal for me. Ken Jorgensen, yearbook designer and photo editor, participates in an exchange of ideas to verbally and pictorially present BJC. Many different moods of involvement are demonstrated by Kathy Duchscher, Kris Taylor, and Sherry Schmautz in one of Mr. Lahren’s informal freshman English courses. I dislike the campus being on top of a hill. The scenery is nice, but you freeze to death walking from building to building during the winter. It always seems to be colder than any other hill I’ve ever been on. The main reason for my attending BJC is because I can't pull myself away from Bismarck, because this is where all my friends are, the people I want to be with, and therefore I don’t want to leave. So I can stay right here and learn what I need to learn. One thing I like about the school is that the classes aren’t that large therefore you aren’t treated like a number. One thing I dislike about the school is that I think its a suitcase college on weekends. There’s nothing to do then. I like the teachers and the friendly kids. I like the way the P.E. system is set up. You can use the weight rooms, wrestling room, and gym almost anytime you want to. The school isn’t big enough that you won’t be missed—some teachers take roll that affects your grades—I don’t think it should. I like the wrestling program. The teachers are very helpful, especially Mr. Koch and Mrs. Du rick. Calculus class goes too fast, too much information in one day. It’s a very open campus with student and teacher on a level where they can talk about the class. It’s not so impersonal like some colleges are. There aren't a lot of student functions—maybe you could have more activities, like intermurals, movies, lecturers, etc. In all it isn’t such a bad college. The school's layout is well planned but in some areas such as the secretarial field, I feel it could be updated. The equipment is new but some teacher’s ideas are old. I like the small classes. It offers about the same things as four-year colleges. I dislike the fact that a person can’t get into the dorm, and is then left on his own to find a place to live. I like BJC a whole lot. Most of the teachers are real cool dudes and the kids here are very friendly and open and I have found it extremely easy to adjust to college and have gotten to know a lot of new friends. I like the small size of the college and the personal, informal atmosphere that prevails on campus. The small size of the college doesn’t put as much pressure on student or faculty and we can spend more time learning. There is really nothing in thecollege that I don't like in one way or another, I guess I'm easy to please. I like the freedom a student has, but dislike gym, I don’t think gym should be a requirement. I like the way the school is planned. There is a new atmosphere up here. I hate the way the lunch program is set up. You should have a lunch ticket and everytime you want to eat, they punch it. BJC is making an awful lot of money on that program as a person doesn't always eat 3 meals a day. The main reason I came to BJC is because I was quite undecided about my future plans and I felt it was a much safer and inexpensive way of starting out. Besides that. I could continue working and living at home. I knew I wasn’t ready to leave home because of my indecisions. Not enough parking and not enough snow removal. It wasn’t that much of a change from high school—only 2 things have changed: 1. no excuse slips, 2. smoking in the buildings. The small class really bugs me. There are many classes I couldn’t take because they were full. I feel it offers me a background, to go to S.U. with. That’s it. To get an education with the least amount of expense: I'm married, my family lives here so this was the best choice to fit my budget and makes it possible to get an education. I dislike the poor parking facilities. I like the Drama department, the amount of plays they put on. I would like to see more class room courses in Drama and Acting. First, because I am married and must attend college in Bismarck, and secondly, because the cost of attending BJC is within our budget. I wish someone would take care of the clocks at the school. Announcements should be more spread around. You don't usually hear what is going on. I think they should have a better key system in the girls dorm. I think all the girls should have a key of their own to get in at night. Also, they should have a swimming pool, like all of the other colleges. I think it is a fine college but then I’m not that familiar with any other colleges. This is the only college I’ve gone to. The only thing I don't like is some parts of the administration. I have had some problems with them. Many of my records have gotten mixed up. Other than that. I like BJC and would recommend it to anyone. A concert by Frank Hall was one of the activities in which students could participate. PRESIDENT WERNER HELPS MAKE BJC THE COLLEGE WITH A FUTURE” A REALITY How was the college established? j'l1 m (. In 1939 Bismarck businessmen held a meeting that sparked the beginning of a community college. They felt that students couldn't afford to leave the Bismarck area to attend college and that secondary classes should be offered in the city. As a result, Bismarck Junior College was organized and classes were held on the third floor of the Bismarck High School, with an enrollment of 40 students. The school began to grow and in 1955, a junior college building was constructed near the State Capitol. Then, in 1959, Harold Schafer donated land overlooking the Missouri River west of Bismarck on which to build a larger and more modern campus. It was completed in 1962. In the following years, the dormitories and the library were added. The new Student Union and Vo-Tech buildings were opened in 1974. Having been accredited by UND until 1966, BJC is now fully accredited by the North Central Association of Junior Colleges. The only member in his high school graduating class, Mr. Ralph Werner is now the President of one of North Dakota’s most rapidly growing colleges .. BJC. Being the sole Senior, the then sixteen-year-old Werner delivered the Valedictory at the 1929 Commencement Exercises in Burlington, North Dakota. His graduation motto was “Climb Though the Rocks Be Rugged.” And “climb” he did. The small-town boy entered nearby Minot State College, which at thattime had an enrollment of approximately 500 students. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree and went on to the University of North Dakota where he majored in education and earned a Master of Science degree. But Mr. Werner did not stop there. He did post graduate work at the University of Washington, the University of Colorado, and the University of Minnesota. Velva High School provided the surroundings for Mr. Werner’s first classroom teaching experience, in which he instructed students in Office Education. After several years there, he accepted the position as Principal in the Harvey school system. He remained there until 1941, when he and his wife, Ina, moved to Bismarck. He began teaching part-time in the newly organized junior college, which then was located on the third floor of the Bismarck High School. In time, Mr. Werner began to ascend the BJC administrative ladder. He went from classroom instructor to Business Manager to Registrar to the Assistant to the President. When in 1963, College President Sidney J. Lee died, Mr. Werner assumed the duties of the chief administrative post. In my visit with him, I also asked him some questions about the college itself. President Werner presented the North Dakota College Athlete of the Year Award to Gary Hoffman at a ceremony during the BJC-Jamestown dual meet. 4 What do you feel about the student body as a whole at BJC? I would rate them very highly. There is no better age bracket to work with. BJC has the best student body in North Dakota. It is not so large that a student becomes a number rather than an individual. It is considerably easier to get to know faculty members, and classes are smaller, enabling teachers to give more attention to each student. Reading over the day’s correspondence is only a minute part of the President’s busy schedule. How do junior colleges stand in comparison to four-year colleges? There are 1200 junior colleges in the United States. In 1974 there was a 12 percent increase in junior college enrollment, whereas the four-year colleges showed no increase. BJC now has 1200-1300 full-time students, 48.5 percent being from Bismarck, the other 51.5 percent from Mandan and other communities. The junior college is a transition between high school and the complex four-year college. It is more closely associated with the community and supported by it. There is an even flow of students between the academic and vocational programs, such that students can change programs without changing schools. There are other advantages to attendinga smaller junior college. What is your outlook for the future of Bismarck Junior College? The growth of BJC is directly proportioned to the growth of Bismarck, which is expanding at an unbelievable rate. We can look forward to a larger student body in the coming years. Concerning building expansion, I would like to extend the northeast end of the auditorium to make more room backstage and also to give the enlarging performing arts better facilities. Last year I had the rock hauled on campus to the south of the administration building with hopes of planting trees, shrubs, and flowers around it and setting benches among them to form a mall. The boy’s motto lives on: “Climb, Though the Rocks be Rugged.” I would also like to see the development of the bowl west of the men’s dormitory into a football and track field with a physical education complex nearby. This would be an excellent community project. BJC is indeed “the College with a Future” and President Ralph Werner has helped to make it so. STUDENT UNION In the 1968-1969 school year the BJC Students voted an assessment of ten dollars per student per year to be used in the eventual building of a Student Union Buildingand to date has accumulated a fund of approximately $70,000. President Ralph Werner appointed a committee made up of students, faculty, and administration to help architect Al Kosir in designinga building that would meet the needs of future students. After visiting other college Student Unions and talking with their personnel, the present facility was designed. Plans were approved in March 1973, the building being completed in the late summer 1974. Students who live on campus and are on board contract eat in the main cafeteria in the Student Union. A Student Union at BJC finally became a reality with the opening of the $900,000 structure in the summer of 1974. As of May 1, 1974, a payment of $47,265 had been made toward the bonds totaling $800,000. BJC Students will be paying toward the union fund until the year 2008. The first floor of the Student Union Building contains several offices, a bookstore, a cafeteria, a snack bar, a dining room, an auxiliary dining-conference room, and a student lounge. The lower floor features a game room containing pool tables, foosball, ping pong, air hockey, and pinball machines. A Student Government room, Student Newspaper and Yearbook offices, and a darkroom are also located in the lower level. A large unfurnished space for future utilization and the mechanical and air conditioning equipment cover the remaining area of the lower level. The Student Union, designed by Al Kosir, was built by Harley Miller Construction, H.A. Thompson and Sons, Hulm Electric, and Dakota Food equipment at a cost of $866,919.02. The Union contains Coordinator of all activities connected with the Student Union is Suezette Bieri Jacobs. The sign is an indication of the pace of activities at times. The Snack Bar is a meeting place for students. It provides a place to grab a late breakfast, a cup of coffee between classes, or a meal. 6 31.602 square feet at a construction cost of $27.45 per square foot. Furnishing for the Student Union totaled $39,390.90. The Union is to be used as a “union” of programs, activities, and philosophies for the interest and concern of people-students, faculty, and the community. In the physical sense it is a building, but in a higher sense, it provides reasons or excuses to bring people together. A spacious, well-stocked, well-staffed bookstore is a part of the new Student Union. A television, piano, and magazines are located in the Student Lounge, offering a relaxing atmosphere in which to pass extra time or even hold a club meeting. The Game Room, located in the lower level, is a converging point for those with time to pass. It features ping pong, pinball machines, and pool tables, one at which Linda Schoch shows her expertise in setting the balls up for the next game. 7 FESTINO The Chamber Chorale and String Ensemble presented a Renaissance Dinner Theater on November 1 and 2, 1974 in the Student Union. The Chorale members, wearing costumes of sixteenth-century style, served to over 200 persons a delicious dinner of Cornish game hen and wild rice, prepared by cafeteria personnel, while Chorale director Stan Engebretson played the harpsichord. After the meal, the Chorale members took their places around the head table from which they performed an Italian Madrigal comedy entitled Festino” originally written as Party on the Evening of Fat Thursday.” The jester, Steve Nicolai, guided those present through the evening with the narration below. MASQUERADE OF THE COUNTRY GIRLS A maiden sings beautiful verses to the accompaniment of a Jew’s- harp and lyre. Everyone tells me that I am very beautiful—Some compare me to the star Diana, Some compare me to the Infant Cupid. All the peasants say that I carry the flower of beauty before me.” Yesterday morning a young man said to me: “Why don’t I have such a flea in my Bed?” THE MODERN DELIGHT AS INTRODUCTION: Anybody who wants amusement and pleasure, Come to the party for a little while. Outbursts of high spirits, In a good humor before supper. Jests and masked dancing; Entertainments, ardent sighs; Festivities, games and fun of all kinds are there to be enjoyed. We return to say: Anybody who wants amusement and pleasure, Come in to the party for a little while. MASQUERADE OF THE LOVERS They enter the party, accompanied by a harpsichord- toned lute. LOVERS IN A MOORISH FASHION We are here to give delight, moorishing the Spagnoletto, All the young lovers dance on their legs nimble and pleasing! Do it this way, do it that! Well done, cu cu ru cu! Long live Cupid! Long live Venus in this company! Do it over there, over here, Good Evening, Fa La La La! CAPRICCIATA FOR 3 VOICES Noble spectators, now you will hear four spirited ones: A dog, a cat, a cuckoo, and owl, for a joke, figure counterpoint over a bass! THE FRENCH BRANSLE” 0, 0, 0. To No No No — Since no more masks appear, Let’s go out to eat supper. Since the clock has struck three, Let’s finish up in good humor. There's the table: for a little while, We’ll sing long live, long live the Wonderful Party! The GALLIARD is a courting dance where the best dancer (mark that I am he), wins the hand of his fair maiden through great skill, grace, and perfect mastery of the dance! And now, a winning of toasts and talk, where all the voices have a fine time with a drinking butler. The tenor proposes toasts to the Sopranos who enjoy weak and watery wine and thoroughly nice wine; to the Altos who enjoy the heavy drinker wine; and the basses who drink a sweet cordial wine. The basses toast atutta la compagnia, (to all of the company). The butler asks what they think of the wine to which the company answers in faith, it's GOOD! Anybody who wants fun again, I invite to the lovely flowering. Young lovers, gay and gallant; Sweethearts—Return with them. Singers will be heard, venting their ardors in a new style, tasteful and beautiful. In the meantime; Go and be happy! I want to finish by saying again: Anybody who wants more fun, come again to our rich festival!!

The residence is known as the Governor's residence, and the man, Arthur A. Link, is the number one man in North Dakota government. After breakfast with his wife. Grace, and his father, John, who was 96 on February 18. Governor Link is driven to the capitol building. During the legislature the Governor may have a breakfast meeting with lawmakers at the residence to catch up on the latest situation of prime legislation, or to sound out ideas and strategy for upcoming bills. Once in his Remaining fully informed of current events is an important aspect of the State's Chief Executive. office, the Governor's day is filled with all kinds of events. An aide brings him up to date on some matter as the Governor has just returned from Washington D.C. A check of the day's schedule will determine where and how the Governor will spend his few free moments. If an out of town trip is in the near future, the itinerary may be reviewed. A caller asking for the Governor’s appearance at a luncheon waits for a check with the calendar before an answer. Time is an important commodity and the scheduling of it makes sure it is used wisely. A High School group visiting the legislature enters the outer office, and since the Governor has a couple minutes, they are escorted through the inner office to shake hands with him. Many schools a year visit the Governor’s office, but few are lucky enough to meet him and pass through the inner office. The Girl Scouts, kicking off their annual cookie drive, present Governor Link with boxes of cookies. Another High School, this one with a foreign exchange student visits the Governor’s office. After a short greeting and the handing out of Souvenir cards, a few students ask the Governor for his autograph. Governor Link gladly obliges them. A citizen concerned about a piece of legislation stops by the Governor’s office to voice his feelings and ask the Governor’s. He then seeks some help in pursuing his objective. A former member of the legislature stops by to say Hi! A would be appointee to a government position is discussed with an aide. Before lunch the Governor steps into the main hall to listen to the band that is playing. During the legislature a guest band performs daily. After speaking to the band members and thanking them, it is back to the mansion for lunch. A dinner guest accompanies the Governor so that they can get in a bit of conversation to catch up on news of mutual interest. After returning to the office in the capitol building, the Governor makes a couple appointments with legislators and advisors to bring him up to date on issues that have been drawn to attention. A phone call from another part of the state asks the aid of the Governor’s office in settling a local dispute. A couple more meetings are followed by a rare visit to the main coffeeshop and a few short conversations with others there. A proclamation signingand photography session for a group is completed in the conference room and the Governor returns to his office to finish a letter. A secretary brings in several other letters and papers needing his signature and after reviewing their contents, he signs them. The Girl Scouts are scheduled to present the Governor with cookies and are photographed doing so. Another school drops by before starting their long trek home. It is getting to be late afternoon and the Governor greets them before going to a conference, with legislators of his party, a department head and advisors. They have an issue of concern and spend a great deal of time discussing it. Afterwards the Governor drives the State limousine back to the residence himself. With him go a brief case and a box full of papers to work on. Aboutthe only television Governor Link watches is the news, usually followed by the evening dinner if the Governor and Mrs. Link do not have a dinner engagement or a meeting to attend. In the evening Governor Link spreads out his homework” on a large round table in the living room and goes to work. Mrs. Link usually sits acrossfrom him, working on some project of her own. Being across from each other around that table is about the only time they spend together in a day. The lights in the Governor’s residence may burn for many hours as he catches up from a long today and plans for soon-to-be tomorrow. Legislators briefly stop by to confer with the Governor on his stand on some upcoming legislation. The evening news is about the only television Governor Link watches. After catching up on the news, he settles down to a table of never-ending paper work. The Governor returns to the mansion for lunch at which time he helps his 96-year- old father, John. DARREL ANDERSON TAKES CROSS COUNTRY HONORS The 1974 Cross Country season got underway with the Turkey Trot at Worthington, Minnesota on September 14. The team placed fourth in team totals but the high point for the mystics was provided by Darrel Anderson, who took first individual. Not only did Darrel win the meet, but he set a new record fortheannual Turkey Trot event as he covered the 5000 meter course in just 15:25. Two weeks later on September 28, the Mystics hosted the Bismarck Invitational. Again Darrel Anderson captured top individual honors, but this time leading the team to first place in the team totals. On Saturday, October 5, the Mystic harriers took on Lake Region JuniorCollege in a dual meet. The Green and Gold took the meet, again led by Darrel Anderson's winning individual performance. On Thursday, October 17, the Mystics were involved in a triangular meet at Valley City. In the team totals, BJC finished second but once again Anderson was leading the pack at the finish line. Darrel covered the 3.9 mile course in 19:54. This was to be Darrel’s final first place effort, but it definitely did not put an end to his string of sparkling performances as a representative of the Mystics. On Tuesday, October 23, the Green and Gold traveled to Jamestown to compete in their first NDCAC meet. Although in team totals BJC finished fifth, there was definitely nothing to be upset about as it was their first chance to participate in the NDCAC championships. The competition is very tough, as it includes the more seasoned competitors of four-year colleges. Despite the competition, Darrel Anderson led BJC with a strongthird place finish. At the end of that same week, on Friday, October 26, the harriers traveled to Rochester, Minnesota to participate in the Juco Region XIII meet. In their last meet of the season, team members Ralph Messer, Arlen Fetch, Ralph Winkowski, and Rick Robinson ran hard in a large field competition and took seventh place in the team totals. Once more Darrel Anderson led the show as he placed ninth, qualifying him for the National Junior College meet in Oregon. On Saturday, November 9, Darrel then participated in that National Meet in Eugene Oregon. When it was over Darrel had placed 88th, which put him well into the top half of the over 200 runners. This capped the final season for the Mystic’s team captain and Outstanding Cross Country Runner as voted by his teammates. For his many fine performances, Darrel was selected as the Bismarck Quarterbacks Club Athlete of the Month for both September and October. Coach of the cross country team, Ed Kringstad busies himself with what seems to be an endless amount of paper work. Cross country runner, Darrel Anderson, was awarded the Bismarck Quarterback's Club Athlete of the Month for two consecutive months. In quiet solitude, Rick Robinson goes over the day's statistics. FINE ARTS FACULTY Mrs. Jane Gray Stewart has been a speech and drama instructor at BJC since 1959. She compares BJCasequal to other colleges in which she has taught, namely Minot State College and St. Olaf College. Mrs. Stewart received a B.A. degree at Northwestern University. She also graduated from NBC Radio Institute and attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Mrs. Stewart’s family includes her children, Barbara and Michael, and their poodle, Poco.

In 1969 he became the director of instrumental music, including the Symphonic Winds and Jazz Ensemble. In comparing BJC to other colleges, Mr. Ely cited itasan “excellent, growing institution.” Mr. and Mrs. Ely have fourchildren. Piano and Music Theory are taught by Mrs. Erma Garrity. Mrs. Garrity holds a B.Ph. of Music degree. A graduate from DePaul University in Chicago, she did post graduate work at the University of Minnesota and the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin, Germany. Mrs. Garrity began her instruction at BJC in 1973. She also gives private piano lessons. Previously she taught at the Mehus Conservatory in Bismarck. In Mrs. Garrity's opinion, BJC is a “very good school and within better financial reach of students.” Mrs. Garrity has six children: Gayle, Pat, Bill, Kathy, Ted, and Joe. The newest member of the Fine Arts faculty is Stan Engebretson, director of choral activities, who joined the department in 1973. He isan alumni of UND, where he received both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree. Mr. Engebretson feels that freshmen and sophomoresare more excited about school and have more pride in themselves and their work, which students lose by the time they’re juniorsand seniors. 17 FOOTBALL The 1974 BJC gridders started their season by hosting the highly regarded Dickinson State Bluehawkson Saturday, September 7. The game started on a sour note as DSC took an early 7-0 lead. Until the half, the Mystic defense toughened but the offense never got moving and the score stood at 7-0. The third quarter proved a nightmare for the Mystics as costly turnovers set up a couple more Dickinson scores. The defense, although put in a hole several times, continued to play well and managed to score the only points for the Mystics in the game. It was accomplished on a fumble recovery that defensive end, Roger Pickar, carried fora TD. That play was hardly enough, however, and DSC scored once more to put the game away, 28-7. Cornerback Wayne Monzelowsky (34) views his destructive work on Dickinson State running back Kent Jesperson (40). The following Saturday, September 14, the Green and Gold traveled to Fergus Falls, Minnesota, where they became involved in a defensive struggle. On that windy afternoon, the Mystic defense played superbly throughout the contest, but once again the offense could not get in for a score. There was no score at halftime and the game seemed destined to end in a scoreless tie until late in the 4th quarter when Tim Clausnitzer ran in from close range to give BJC a 6-0 lead. The tough Mystic defense then returned to stop any of Fergus Falls ideas of a comeback and BJC had its initial victory for 1974, evening their record at 1 and 1. Again on the road at Minot on Tuesday, September 24. the Mystics were involved in a low scoring contest against Minot State’s junior varsity. The game started brightly for BJC asearly in the game, Joe Wohlfiel hit Terry Freih for an 80 yard TD. However, disaster struck shortly thereafter as Minot took a 7-6 lead on in interception that was taken in for a score and the half ended that way. The missed extra point loomed large as the Mystics could not score through the third quarter. The Mystics scored late in the 4th quarter to pull out the win. This time Robert Schafer provided the excitement on an impressive 24 yard run. Again the defensive came on to clean up and save the game at 12-7. BJC left September with 2 wins and 1 loss. On Saturday, October 5. the Mystics returned home to Hughes Field to play Rocky Mountain State College from Billings, Montana. The day was cool and a light rain made footing extremely unstable throughout the game. With the weather prohibiting much action. Rocky Mountain got one score in each half and won the game 13-0. BJC's offense once again never got rolling and the defense could not stop Rocky Mountain completely. The high point of the day for the Mystics was the stopping of Rocky Mountain’s highly regarded aerial attack. Although the rain wasa factor, the real damper came from Tim Ehli’s sparkling defensive effortwhich included three interceptions for BJC. Coach Ed Hasche confers with Pat Reuter (behind). Pat was the defensive leader and was chosen co-captain for 1975. Quarterback Joe Wohlfiel (10) was named Most Dedicated for 1974 and a co-captain for 1975. 18 couple of interceptions, including one by defensive captain. Roger Pickar, set up a Gene Balzer field goal, and Wayne Monzelowsky's second TD, this one as a running back. The Eagles did manage one more score but the Green and Gold took a 30-13 Homecoming victory. On Saturday, October 19. the Mystics traveled to Owatona, Minnesota to play Pillsbury Bible College. The game proved to be a let down from the previous week's performance, but the Mystics did manage to win a close contest. It started slowly again for the Wayne Monzelowsky (34) along with a Dickinson State Bluehawk watch the bail go astray on a broken pass play. Roger Pickar (95) sprints for a TD against Dickinson. Pickar was named the season’s Most Valuable Sophomore. Saturday. October 12. The game started slowly for the Mystics and through the first half it looked like it would be a very close contest. Northwestern scored first, but BJC came back to take a 7-6 lead at the half. The Mystics came out fired up for the second half and took the kickoff on a drive that was capped by Robert Schafer's second touchdown of the day. The defense came on once again, not to be outdone, and stopped the Eagles cold, ultimately by Roger Pickar blocking the punt. Wayne Monzelowsky recovered and BJC took a 20-7 lead. The Mystics continued to dominate in the fourth quarter. A BJC now carried an even 2-2 record into their Homecoming game against Northwestern College of St. Paul, Minnesota on Terry Daffinrud goes through some of the unpleasant rigors of football activities. 19 Mystics, but they took an 18-6 lead only to see it disipate to 18-12 on the last play before the half. A nightmare again took shape as BJC lost the lead and trailed 19-18. For the third time in the '74 season, however, the Mystics came back with less than three minutes left and scored on a pass from Eric King to Terry Freih. With the two point conversion, the Mystics took a 26-19 lead. The defense put the game away on Bruce Reidinger’s interception. The offensive star for this game has to be given special note. Eric King scored 2 touchdowns and passed for the winning score. With his effort leading the way, BJC's record now stood at 4-2. The last road game of '74 took BJC to Wahpeton on Saturday, October 26. The Mystics were looking forward to their 5th win which would have given them their first winning season since the football program was restored several years ago. But the Wildcats scored early and continued to pound away and took a 28-0 halftime lead. They continued the assault in the second half and handed BJC a devastating 42-0 defeat. The following week on Saturday, November 2, the Mystics returned home and tried to regroup for the tough Valley City State Vikings. The weather didn't help much as it was cold and snowy, but it was not enough to cool the fired-up Mystics. Valley City scored first on a field goal, but BJC came back on a TD by Robert Schafer and led SCOREBOARD BJC 7 Dickinson 28 BJC 6 Fergus Falls 0 BJC 12 Minot 7 BJC 0 Rocky Mountain 13 BJC 30 Northwestern 13 BJC 26 Pillsbury 19 BJC 0 Wahpeton 42 BJC 20 Valley City 37 Jim Squires (49), Chuck Hauck (27), and Wayne Monzelowsky (34) close in for the Mystics.

BJC battled back and with under 30 seconds left in the half, Joe Wohlftel passed to Terry Freih giving the determined Mystics a 13-9 halftime lead. As the second half got under way, Valley City once again took the lead at 16-3. Once more BJC came back, this time on a run by Tim Clausnitzer, to take a 20-16 lead. The Mystics finally ran out of steam before the end of Deanna Kupper and Jan Barry's duties as student managers is to keep that head together”. third quarter as Valley City took the lead at 23-20 and never trailed again. The fourth quarter belonged to the Vikings as they stopped BJC’s upset ideas 37-20. The Vikings’ experience finally overpowered the Mystics, but the strong showing was proof that the Green and Gold can play against the four-year schools. The last game evened BJC's final record at four wins and four losses, but much promise was displayed for the upcoming 1975 season. Head Coach Ed Hasche (right) and Defensive Coach Mike Ahneman (left) spend anxious moments on the sidelines. Tim Clausnitzer (20) and Randy Danielson (84) execute a fake on a kick return.

Spreading Mystic spirit across the campus this year are our cheerleaders, Peggy Schlicting, Garrison; Pamela Johnson, Glenburn; Bonnie Mann, Zap; Gail Morrison, Robinson; and Karen Buell, Minot. Prospective cheerleaders must tryout before a group of judges composed of Ms. Carol Martinson, girl’s basketball coach; Mrs. Nancy Stavn, advisor; and representatives of Student Organizations. Tryouts were based on jumps, a group cheer, and an individual cheer, totaling to a certain number of points. During their first year of cheerleading at BJC in the ’74-’75 season, the cheerleaders boosted spirit at wrestling matches, and football and basketball games. They also supported the Mystics at the Basketball tournaments in Dickinson. A basketball game finds Karen Buell giving the Mystics an added boost of enthusiasm and spirit. BJC’s cheerleaders are responsible for boosting spirit at all wrestling matches, basketball and football games. The Mystic cheerleaders huddle together against a cold October wind while waiting for the Homecoming Parade to get underway. Gail Morrison appears to know something that the others don’t about the outcome of this match. 28 MYSTIQUES PRESENT SCRABBLE XYZ The Mystiques in their entirety introduce their spring dance production, Scrabble XYZ. Kandie Kottsick stands poised and ready for her next musical cue. Sixteen talented girls make up the Mystiques, BJC's dance team. The team is actually a regularly scheduled class from which members try out before each performance. Team members are as follows: Dorothy Adams, Deanna Hanson, Caryn Hoovestol, Jackie Juelke, Kandie Kottsick, Patti Lillebridge, Mary Mick, Terri Leet, Heidi Nelson, Beth Reinmitz, Vicki Sailer, Lory Severson, Marlene Smith, Julie Stucy, Cindy Tietz, and BevSchue. The team has performed eight times for home games and four times at Williston forthe North Dakota State Junior College Men’s At their dance production, the Mystiques introduced several new and unique ways of using crutches and shopping carts. and Women’s Basketball Championships. They also hosted theirannual Play Day, with 200 little girls, from the area, learning different dances and other related activities. On May 1 and 2, the Mystiques put on a dance production entitled Scramble XYZ. To earn some money BJC’s women athletes sold T-shirts proclaiming Happiness is Girl’s Athletics”. MYSTIC HOMECOMING Audrey Riehl was sponsored by the Girl’s and Boy's Dorms; Shannon Burns and Iris Engleman were chosen by the Sophomore and Freshmen classes, respectively. Ted Hausauer does some effective pre-election campaigning for Lettermen’s Club queen candidate, Beth Reimnitz. Homecoming plans got off to a late start because the Student Senate wasn't fully organized until late September, but BJC did manage to have a successful Homecoming on October 10, 11, and 12. The three days of activities included a convocation on Thursday at which the football team, cheerleaders, and the Homecoming queen candidates were introduced to the student body. The queen candidates majored in things from Special Education to Music and came from towns as near as Bismarck and from countries as far away as Columbia, South America. They were: Elsie Lopez, a foreign exchange student, sponsored by the Hospitality Club; Sue Nicolai, sponsored by the Music Department; Mary Mick, sponsored by the Vet’s Club. The Agri-Business Club chose Sandy Meidinger as their candidate and Beth Reimnitz was chosen to run for queen by the Lettermen's Club. Mariane Loeb, Jan Barry, and Kim O'Shea get into the festivities by casting their votes for Homecoming Queen. Homecoming activities actually got underway on Friday. A convocation was held that morning in order to hold a short pep meeting and for the coronation of BJC's 1974 Homecoming Queen. Everyone sat tensely in their seats hoping that the candidate they had voted for would receive the honor of wearing the crown. As the envelopes were opened, all in attendence learned that Iris Engleman, Mary Mick, Shannon Burns, and-Elsie Lopez were to be the new queen's attendents. Seconds later, with the opening of the final envelope, it was learned the Lettermen's Club choice for queen was to reign over BJC's Golden Harvest. The new queen, Beth Reimnitz. was then crowned by Delphine Friesz, last year’s queen. The Lettermen’s Club managed to take in the honorsduringthis year’s Homecoming, for not only was their candidate chosen queen, but of the seven floats entered in Delphine Friesz shares her last words as reigning queen before crowning her successor. The candidates and escorts await the results of the Homecoming election. The newly elected queen, Beth Reimnitz, re- ceives congratulations from President Wer- ner. Friday afternoon's parade, their entry won first prize. The theme for their winning float was We’ll Pluck Those Eagles.” The float entered by BJC’s Music Department took second with the theme, Be Sharp, Flatten the Eagles!” New features added to this year's Flomecoming Festivities included the jam session at the Student Union Friday night. This attraction starred several groups comprised mainly of local talent and was The Mystic cheerleaders huddle together on a cold and windy parade day. A few last minute preparations are made on the Lettermen’s Club eventual-winning entry in the float competition. free to all students of the college. Afterwards a bonfire was held at 11:30P.M. in BJC’s Sport's Bowl. On Saturday, a luncheon was held in the Main Dining Room of the Student Union for the parents of the football team. This was the second of the two added events. The football game found the BJC Mystics literally slaughtering the Eagles of Northwestern College of Roseville, Minnesota with an ending score of 30-13 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Hughes Field. Every football game has a half- time, and Half-Time Entertainment included introduction of the new Queen and her chosen court, the announcement of the winning floats, and.a performance by the Mystique Dance Team. Following the game an Alumni Mixer was held at the Anchor Room of the Holiday Inn and that night students danced to the music of Lodestone. The dance was a semi-formal event held at the Student Union and culminated the previous days' activities, bringing BJC's Golden 1974 Homecoming to a close. Faculty members Ed Kringstad, Patty Plews, and Mike McCormack served as judges for the 1974 Homecoming Parade. Although this predicted score was a little overestimated, it's optimism was obviously contagious. COAL GASIFICATION IN NORTH DAKOTA— WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?” Mr. John Clement, Administrative Assistant in the North Dakota Office of the Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company, wrote the following article. Long before the energy crisis, but in anticipation of it, Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company launched a program to develop synthetic gas projects. Michigan Wisconsin is the supply arm of American Natural Gas System, with headquarters in Detroit. The system distributes natural gas to nearly 1.4 million customers in nine Midwestern states. Because supplies of natural gas are being used faster than they can be found, it became necessary for Michigan Wisconsin to find other ways of procuring gas. Extensive studies concluded that lignite coal fields in North Dakota and the close proximity of abundant supplies of water would make a long-term gasification project possible. Following a series of meetings with the State Water Commission that began in 1973, Michigan Wisconsin was granted a conditional water permit for 17,000-acre feet annually—enough for one gasification plant. There are eighteen provisions in the conditional permit, dealingwith reclamation, pollution, social, economic and environmental impact studies, plant design and utilization of products. Also acquired were options on 3.8 billion tons of lignite coal. Another step involved contracting Lurgi engineers of Frankfort, Germany, to design an efficient facility to make synthetic gas. The Lummus Company and Kaiser Engineers will design other systems necessary for the operation of the plant. To further aid design engineers, Michigan Wisconsin shipped 12,000 tons of North Dakota lignite for testing at the world’s largest commercial Lurgi gasification complex, located near Johannesburg, South Africa. The lignite performed so well it was calculated the plant could meet its 250 million cubic feet per day goal with less equipment. The proposed facility, to be located near Beulah in Mercer County, will not burn coal to produce synthetic natural gas. The coal is converted to gas in a closed vessel by chemical reaction. Natural gas is primarily carbon and hydrogen combined as methane. When coal, steam, and oxygen are fed into a gasifier, under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, the molecules of carbon and hydrogen are rearranged to form a crude gas with some methane. By further processing, this crude gas is upgraded to attain synthetic natural gas of pipeline quality. While the project will make a significant contribution to “Project Independence, it also will bring numerous benefits to North Dakota. For example, the plant and mine will employ 1,000 persons and generate a direct payroll of $12,000,000 annually. The “spin-off” effect of the project will create hundreds of new jobs in related service industries. Also, it can help reverse downward trends in population and generate millions of dollars in combined income, property, and sales taxes. After regulatory approval has been granted by the Federal Power Commission and other necessary permits are obtained, construction of the plant will begin. Present indications are this will be sometime in 1977. The gasification project will be here a long time and every step of the way, Michigan Wisconsin will be working closely with your state government to meet or surpass all environmental standards. This close cooperation will help make it a project that everyone can take pride in, now and for generations to come. The development of coal gasification will bring about the need for large equipment such as this. Mike Jacobs, Mandan, author of the article is a free-lance writer, environmentalist, and publisher of a book entitled One Time Harvest’’, reflections on coal and our future. North Dakotans spent this year considering a foreign and uncertain future: coal development. In response to skyrocketing demand for fuel, huge, multi- national energy companies have courted North Dakota with promises of new income, new jobs, and industrialization. Critics of the energy boom, including farmers and ranchers, reasoned that North Dakota contributes its share to the world in food and are worried thatair pollution, strip mining and an influx of people demanding land would reduce agricultural production in an anxious and hungry world. Students, including those at Bismarck Junior College, whose campus overlooks an oil refinery and an electrical generating plant, have cause to reflect seriously on this new challenge to North Dakota. They will inherit both the promise and the problems of development. During this year, construction began on an electrical generating complex which will be among the largest in the world. That plant, at Underwood, will be only 50 miles from BJC's campus. A company, which has a state permit to use water from the Garrison Reservoir to make synthetic pipe line quality gas from coal, flooded state officials with a three volume environmental impact statement and a similarily large document seeking approval of the project from the Federal Power Commission. Throughout the year, the state's bureaucracy struggled to process new applications. In January, the legislature met to consider how to regulate a new industry and adjourned after levying the state's first severance tax on lignite (which critics said was far too low) and appropriating $2 million to assess what coal development might mean for North Dakota. Their assessment won't come before the fact. Already, the state's water commission has applications for 11 gasification plants in addition to the one which has been approved. Applications for water for plants generating another 1,000 megawatts of electricity are pending. Plants which will generate 2.500 megawatts are under construction. All of these facilities—and others which have been reported in the press but not officially sought—require coal which requires strip mining which requires land. Whether the strip mines can ever again produce food is a critical question in the development debate. All of these plants will produce air pollution which could damage crops and injure human health. Whether the air pollution controls designed for the plants will be effective is another critical question. All of these plants will require labor and workers will bring families. Whether the state's school systems can absorb a great many new students and whether her small towns can remain comfortable places to live, is a third critical question. All of these plants, in using coal, consume a non-renewable natural resource. How long mankind can survive while continuously depleting the world's available wealth is a fourth—and perhaps most-critical question. So long as the demand for fuel increases, the pressure to build these plants, despite the questions. This dragline which strips the topsoil holds 40 tons. will grow. How much Americans will be willing to conserve, how much they will be willing to alter their life styles to reduce their consumption and their waste is a fifth critical question. North Dakotans find themselves in a unique position, waiting for answers while the development goes on. Ultimately, the answers and solutions to new problems fall to the young who must always correct, or live with, the mistakes of their elders. A DECADE OF DECISION A DECADE OF DECISION Important Tools: A philosophy of Regionalism and Cooperation by Governor Arthur A. Link In North Dakota, in this region and nationally, we are facing a decade of decision with regard to coal utilization. I 33 In reviewing the last year, the past legislative session, and the year to come, it is obvious that a great percentage of our state's time has been and will be absorbed in dealing with coal utilization. As I look ahead to the future. I am concerned about the philosophy that I feel North Dakota and our region must adopt in order to preserve our environment and quality of life, and, at the same time, to deal with the national energy crisis. I refer to one part of this philosophy as New Regionalism. During the past year, we have seen a large number of events take place which have brought our state and this region closer together both physically and philosophically. Of greatest significance, is the development of a new ten-state compact, the Western Governors' Regional Energy Office. In this effort, we have not only unified our own north central and western states, but we have also stepped outside of our borders to include areas with similar problems located in the southwestern United States. This type of broadened regionalism is something only a few imagined possible, but which many now are looking forward to with great anticipation as to the leadership it can and will assume. No single force can have as great a power as that produced by unifying a major portion of the central United States. Steps such as this are the beginning of a new close relationship, a New Regionalism. This last year has allowed us to see that each of our states cannot stand by itself, but is responsible to our neighbors. Decisions that are made in Montana and Wyoming are bound to affect North Dakota, and decisions made in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah must also be considered important to the northern states. Answers to energy problems and coal development cannot take place only within our own borders. We have begun to step outside these boundaries and listen, talk and discuss problems with our neighbors that affect us all. As I view coal development in North Dakota, it is this philosophy of New Regionalism which I feel must continue to develop. Other cooperative regional efforts are through the five-state Old West Regional Commission and the National Governors' Conference. Another important part of this thinking isa Philosophy of Cooperation. There are too many problems which exist in the development of our coal in this region to feel that independent decisions can be made that will not affect other states. One of these issues which requires many hours of cooperative thinking is in the area of water. At the present time, and I hope for years to come, adequate water is flowing through each of our states to allow us to develop both the agricultural and industrial potential which each state desires. North Dakota’s first priority is to assure adequate water for the agricultural industry of our region. This has been our mainstay for years and will continue to be an important mainstay for the nation as food shortages increase. We know first-hand from the Colorado River development that no state can deal with a water resource without affecting its neighbors. We must develop a state to state philosophy of cooperation. We must also have a state- federal philosophy of cooperation. Personally, I do not feel we can take the aggressive role of near secession that some people feel is necessary. That does not mean that we cannot stand firm in our positions over the bargaining table. But we must be present at that table. We must be partners in the decisions that are being made and which are shaping the energy needs of our nation. I think it is fair to say that this region will continue to feed the nation, both with its agricultural produce and its natural resources. I think it is also fair to say that we will meet the commitments we have to the nation in both of these very important areas. But, the states must either make the decisions or be an integral part of the decision-making process of how and where we will meet these commitments. Before any federal or regional decisions are made with regard to our western states, I believe it is imperative, first, that an inventory of all our resources be established; second,that an inventory of national needs of all these resources be made; third, that a national allocation of these needs be established as reasonable for each state to assume; and fourth, that states be allowed to plan for these allocations and responsibilities. This is a process which must involve public, state and federal input. It is only through this type of inventory that our region can determine whether it will feed the nation's appetite for food consumption or energy consumption, or whether it has a responsibility for both. We must avoid sacrificing our environment, quality of life and agricultural productivity for a one-time harvest of coal. To insure this, we must have reasoned and informed national, regional, state and local planninggoingforth with regard to coal utilization and its environmental and social impact. Because the issue of coal development in the western states is so intertwined with national energy needs, national economic needs, environmental concerns for our nation, and indeed even international relationships, I feel it is a necessity that solutions be obtained through establishing first a New Regionalism, where we are in close communication with our neighbors, and, second, a Philosophy of Cooperation, which will extend to all those who are searching for the answers to the problems confronting us today. ART FACULTY Ardyce Miller has taught art at BJC for 13 years. She is a graduate of Drake University and has done additional work at Moorhead State College and the University of Minnesota. Before coming to BJC she taught in the Des Moines, Iowa and Bismarck Public School Systems. When asked to compare BJC with other schools she finds BJC ranks as an outstanding junior college in our state. She is married and has two daughters. LANGUAGE FACULTY For the last three years. Mrs. Barbara Egan has been teaching her students at BJC to speak Spanish as well as she does. Besides teaching Spanish. Mrs. Egan also teaches Communications. A graduate of UND, she finds BJC is much more student-centered in the sense that the faculty members-show concern for the individual student. She has three children. At the year’s end, Mrs. Egan prepared a Spanish breakfast for her classes. Another graduate from UND. Mr. Everett A. Schmeichel, has spent the last seven years teaching German at BJC. Previous to BJC BJC is a growing community college with a great deal of vigor and enthusiasm. It is part of the trend toward two-year colleges and I think Bismarck can be proud of its growth , is how Anne Hjelle, an art instructor at BJC, feels about the college. She has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Iowa and a Master of Arts Degree from the University of California. She is in her second year of teaching at BJC. he taught at Grafton, Casselton, and Wheaton High Schools in North Dakota. The size of BJC makes it preferable for me. It is nice to see the students in more places than the classroom and to get to know them better. It makes being an advisor easier. THE MYSTICIAN STAFF Because she has had no experience with other junior or community colleges, Jordis Abraham feels she can not fairly compare BJC to other schools. But in her opionion, the feeling of the campus as a community is lacking because of the general nature of a junior college. This arises from the fact students are not full-time students; they have jobs, or leave campus on weekends. A graduate of Jamestown College, this is Ms. Abraham’s first year at BJC where she teaches journalism. She taught in Wisconsin and in Deadwood. South Dakota previous to coming here. Ms. Abraham has one daughter. Despite having two business managers, three sports editors, and a change in publishing companies, the staff of the BJC Mystician managed to put out nine issues. Students from the reporting and editing classes were staff writers. A portion of their grade came from writing for the paper. the first semester. Jim Geierman was the business manager for the first semester, transferring the position to Douglas VanTassel for the second semester. The circulation manager was Lori Gibson. Staff writers were Timmy Azure, Dennis Dockter, Larry Cunningham, Janice Grey, Jeff Lori Gibson has the sometimes difficult and tedious task of writing captions for photographs. Photographers were Tomio Takeshita. Joe Kolberg, Douglas VanTassel, Ken Jorgensen, Jim Konrad, and Kurt Peterson. The advisor and part-time editor was Jordis Abraham. Mystician staff writer, Jeff Warren, sizes a print for layout. Editing students were also required to help with ’’laying-out or putting the paper together. A four-page literary-arts section, Gallery,’’ was put in the paper for the second year. Poetry, stories, and photographs by BJC students were displayed in this section of the paper. The Mystician staff was headed by editor Arta Leno and sports editor Rob Lein. Dennis Hermanson was the sports editor Heilman, Eric King, Lynne Thomas, Jeff Warren, Rick Robinson, Beth Benson, Dennis Hermanson, Kurt Peterson, Ron Jensen, as well as Rob Lein, Lori Gibson, Jim Geiermann, and Douglas VanTassel. After the copy has been written and set, Editor Arta Leno proofreads it before it is pasted on the layout. Janice Grey works on copy placement with some help from Advisor Jordis Abraham. Suezette takes a break from a crowded schedule to catch a quick bite to eat in the Snack Bar. Suezette is to plan new programs and activities and coordinate existing ones like the Visiting Scholar Series and Cinema 100. She works with student organizations, whether it be to just obtain a room for a meeting or to plan a dance or banquet. She helps to plan and control the functions of the Student Union, who has access to it and when it is open. Planning activities for the student is the job of the Board of Governors with which Suezette works closely. They try to develop a program for the campus by keeping informed of talent that is in town and obtaining itfor BJC. Suezette and the Board of Governors also help with booking bands in cooperation with organizations on campus. Suezette listed a limited budget as the greatest drawback in planning activities and helping existing organizations with programs. A couple of new things that are hopefully in the near future, are a check cashing service and an art gallery. BJC could benefit from art shows coming to other colleges in the state if a suitable gallery was available. In her office in the Student Union, Suzette confers with Mike McCormack, history instructor. For next year Suezette is planning one evening a week for an activity that will be a learning experience. It will be a pot pourri of things such as leather working, ceramics, a discussion on religion and films, to name a few possibilities. It will all be free and will involve talent from the community. A great drawback in campus activities, according to Suezette, is that “students don't accept the fact that there is campus life, once they have gone home after class they don't bother to come back.” She went on to say, “This is a college and students should realize it and benefit from the extra activities. The administration has reported that there is more involvement since the opening of the student union. It is hoped in the future that students will take the time to utilize the local talent and activities. BJC is in a good position to be involved in political happenings and increased cultural activities. One suggestion Suezette made was to send more people, students and faculty, to national conferences to bring back ideas. Since this has been Suezette's first year as the program director, it is still a learning experience. Some weeks it has taken 60 hours or more to keep all activities going. Now with one year almost over, plans for next year are being made to bring the students at BJC more activities and hopefully get them more involved. As program director, Suezette brings out the projector for one of the many films she has shown for students. SUEZETTE If Suezette Bieri Jacobs isn’t sitting behind her desk in the Student Union office, you usually meet her either going or coming. As program director, a position which she says has never really been defined, she is kept busy organizing activities for the students and keeping those activities going. She works with the Bookstore and Games room managers to keep the Student Union running smoothly. REGISTRATION + FRUSTRATION + HASSLES = REFRASSLETRATION Every year approximately 1300 persons enroll at BJC. Even though these people come from different localities and enroll in various curriculums. they all have at least one thing in common. They all have to register. Take a first semester freshman, for example. If he isn’talready confused and lost when he (or she) arrives at BJC, the one big hassle known as Registration” will surely help get him there. It’samazing how you can come to college with your head on straight, a little excited, maybe even a little scared, and a short time later you're wondering what you’re even doing here. Especially after you've waited in a line for what seems like hours—only to find out you're in the wrong line. You stand in line some more; have your mugshot taken, as if you're a criminal or something; get run through the computer (your cards, that is); given a number you use for nearly everything from this point on; and you realize what seemed like a lot of money in your checking account really wasn't so much after all when you are through buying books, paying fees, and other miscellaneous expenses. But, what would any college be without registration? (Editor's note: heaven.) You've got to admit, it's the closest comparison to a stockyard packing plant you will find anywhere without actually going to one. Close, maybe, but not quite. Stockyards are probably a little better organized. Yet in both cases, the poor unsuspecting beasts (or students, whichever the case may be) will eventually lose their heads. It's funny how so many people have the impression it takes no time at all to register. Let's say you are a student who is to register at 8:00 A.M. Well, at that hour you certainly hope to be done before noon. Little do you realize, however, that you may not even be finished by 4:00 that afternoon when everyone decides to quit for the day. Registration is a series of standing and waiting in lines. When you first walk in through the doors of the armory you find yourself in a line where you must wait to receive a lot of little goodies which make up what is known as a “Registration Packet . It’s really a letdown when you finally get your packet and find some of the contents missing. You have no other alternative but to wait until the rest of it can be located. After running back and forth from various instructors and advisors and you finally have your advisor’s signature on your schedule card, you would like to think you are at last finished. It’s always a good idea to drop your cards at this point, especially when you happen to be standing in the middle of the floor and dozens of people are rushing all around you. You can consider yourself fortunate if you can retrieve all of your cards within a thirty foot radius. Then you stand in another line and when you least expect it. a shutter clicks and your countenance is permanently preserved on film in a seal of laminating plastic. They say a camera lens only puts the image it sees on film, but those I.D. cards are ridiculous! Another part of registration that's really a riot is waiting in the Business Office for your name to be called. Actually, it's a game known as “How Many People Can We Cram Into 25 Square Feet of Space.” Thisgame is also somewhat like Musical Chairs. Unlike “Musical Chairs”, however, there are only two chairs, and who knows how many “players . You learn a lot of things while being compressed in the Business Office. Important things, like, who uses Right Guard and who doesn’t, and that Fat Harriet IS as heavy as she looks (it’s too bad Herbie had to find out the hard way). Last, but not least, you learn that no one works one minute after twelve in the Business Office when it comes time for Noon Break. What's really disgusting is when you notice your packet is the third one down, but like everyone else, you have no choice but to wait or come back later. Nerve-wracking, isn't it? Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end sooner or later. Likewise Registration. You have to admit, it's a good feeling when you're finally through with the whole mess. You're mentally and physically exhausted and your checking account probably is, too, but you are officially enrolled and won't have to go through this again—that is. until next semester! RED RIVER VALLEY DEVASTATED BY FLOODS At the end of June, the outlook for the remainder of 1975 was bright in eastern North Dakota. Although delayed by seemingly continual rainfall, the seeding of fields in the Red River Valley was complete, and already bumper crops were predicted. Then, with devastating suddenness, the floods came. More than 12 inches of rain fell on some areas in less than a day's time, sending the Red and Sheyenne Rivers over their banks and into neighboring fields and towns. On July 15. Grand Forks reported that the Red River had crested at 43.20 feet, a point nearly 16 feet above flood stage, and it was expected to rise to 44 feet. It was the worst flood in the state in years. The little Red River- normally a stone’s throw across- stretched for miles at some points. Fargoans hungry for pizza had a difficult time finding a parking spot at Shakeys. SHAKEN E Up. Public House OPEK DAILY 1PET0US Detours were common on water-covered city streets as well as highways where vehicles were unable to maneuver. Farmsand entire communities were evacuated, and the all-too- familiar scene of crews working day and night on the permanent and temporary dikes became commonplace. Four days of heavy storms resulted in the loss of crops, soil erosion, and floods covering more than one million acres of farmland. Detour signs dotted city streets and highways that were closed because of high water and sandbagging operations. Included were Interstate 29 north of Fargo, Interstate 94, U.S. 81, and U.S.10. What was once a baseball diamond became a temporary shallow lake as run off from over a foot of rain collected there. No balls, no strikes, no game.” Flooding put a da mper on many activities in the Red River Valley. 40 Torrential rains caused massive flooding and damage to over one million acres of leaving the land potentially useless for farmland, destroying most of the crops and farming in 1976. Street signs projected out of the waters in many cities in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota where people were forced to evacuate. One observer described the Valley “as a scene of utter desolation and destruction.“ The loss was estimated at $1.6 billion. Finally, the water began to slowly recede, but as of this writing, much remains flooded. There was only one bright spot to the entire story - the loss of human life was very small, not nearly what it might have been in a disaster of this magnitude. A 47th ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS Best Supporting Actor Lee Strasberg—The Godfather Part II Robert Do Niro—The Godfather Part II Michael V. Gazzo—The Godfather Part II Fred Astair—The Towering Inferno Jeff Bridges—Thunderbolt and Lightfoot Best Supporting Actress The following are the 47th Annual Academy Award Nominations awarded on April 8,1975. Those receiving Oscars are denoted by an asterisk. Best Picture—1974 Madeline Kuhn—Blazing Saddles Ingrid Bergman—Murder on the Orient Express Diane Ladd—Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore Talia Shire—The Godfather Part II Valentina Cortese—Day For Night Chinatown The Godfather Part II The Conversation The Towering Inferno Lenny Best Direction Francis Ford Coppola—The Godfather Part II John Cassavetes—A Woman Under The Influence Bob Fosse—Lenny Roman Polanski—Chinatown Francois Truffaut—Day For Night Best Actor Albert Finney—Murder on the Orient Express Jack Nicholson—Chinatown Dustin Hoffman—Lenny Art Carney—Harry and Tonto Al Pacino—The Godfather Part II Best Actress Ellen Burstyn—Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore Faye Dunaway—Chinatown Gena Rowlands—A Woman Under The Influence Valerie Perrine—Lenny Diahann Carroll—Claudine English students were asked to record their choices for Academy Awards before the actual winners were announced. Some of the responses follow. For Best Picture I took The Towering Inferno because the subject the film deals with is very real. It’s suspenseful all the way through. The actors played good roles, they seemed to fit the part. The shooting of the film was very good. The show held my interest and the terror and fear of fighting the fire were really brought to the public's attention. —Suzy Nissen The reason I believe Art Carney will win the Best Actor Award is that he is a sentimental favorite”, someone who has made movies for a long time, has or has not been nominated, and has finally hit a role that he can do well. The one strike against him, as he admits, is that he has not made many movies and is a relatively new” actor. —JimGeirmann Best Actor - Art Carney Best Actress - Diahann Carroll Best Supporting Actor - Fred Astair Best Picture - The Towering Inferno Best Direction - Francis Ford Coppola —Dave Keller I liked the super acting done by Jack Nicholson in Chinatown. He reminded me of myself, in a way. Doing dumb stunts and sometimes acting like a big shit. He had to play a role of a nice guy in a hard or red neck way. Acting serious and just playinga person trying to get involved, which I like to see, it shows me he’sgotambition and sense enough to take charge and really make the film a success. —Dave Blair Best Actor - Jack Nicholson Best Actress-Ellen Burstyn Best Supporting Actor - Jeff Bridges Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Chinatown Best Direction - Bob Fosse —Tim Azure Best Actor - Al Pacino Best Actress-Ellen Burstyn Best Picture - The Godfather Part II I suppose Al Pacino will win the Best Actor Award for The Godfather Part II because he fits the part so well—Italian name and all. —Curtis Starck For the Best Picture category I would have to say that Lenny should get it. In dealing with my research project, I uncovered some references to Lenny Bruce by George Carlin. From what I’ve been able to uncover, Lenny Bruce was a complex individual whose entire comic career was one long broiled scene with the courts. He was a pioneer, a prophet of what was to become. He characterizes a new trend in comedy by questioning and attacking every thing that the middle class considered sacred. —Gary Lipp Best Actor - Dustin Hoffman Best Actress - Faye Dunaway Best Supporting Actor - Jeff Bridges Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Chinatown Best Direction - Francis Ford Coppola I picked Chinatown as the best picture because I thought it was an excellent show, but also I think Faye Dunaway is a knockout. I think I'd go to any flick with her in it, good or bad! —Brian Dockter TO OUR PATRONS ---OtiMGUMl.------ LENNY 11 m c FE of am asufs m a TvemBtrauf Bfi E F TM £ f CTUBE AfAAf tcimre mrzmi e ff s cmsR. f m 0Ffgm w femf s, he me m n exeee se mftmm nve ATTENVAME. Vie Best Actor - Art Carney Best Actress - Faye Dunaway Best Supporting Actor - Fred Astair Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Chinatown Best Direction - John Cassavetes Bev Schue Best Actor - Dustin Hoffman Best Actress - Faye Dunaway Best Supporting Actor - Robert De Nino Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Chinatown Best Direction - John Cassavetes I think Faye Dunaway will get it for best actress because I think she is a better actress then the rest of the nominees. —Cindy Dietz Best Supporting Actor - Mr. Astair has been in so many movies and has yet to win an award, I think its about time the old fart won an oscar. —Buzz Benedict I support Fred Astaire for Best Supporting Actor because if he can control himself from dancing through a three ham show, he should be rewarded. He has danced and danced and danced, and now since he acted for a change of pace, it must have been a tremendous effort to keep from moving into a two-step, fox trot, or a nice jug. Therefore I call my man forward for your support. —Dan Asplund I picked Roman Polanski because he's the only one in this catagory I read a review on. So, I liked him. —Don Bechtold Best Actor - Albert Finney Best Actress-Gena Rowlands Best Supporting Actor - Robert De Nino Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Chinatown Best Direction - John Cassavetes Albert Finney is the best actor because of his superior acting ability. Although his accent in the movie sounds false and he doesn't receive much support from the other actors besides Bergman, it is his great ability that brings the move through with great success. I think The Towering Inferno should be picked as the best picture because its the only show I’ve seen and I thought it was a very good show. —Bill Aldinger Best Actor - Art Carney Best Actress - Faye Dunaway Best Supporting Actor - Fred Astair Best Supporting Actress - Madeline Kahn Best Picture - Chinatown Best Director - Roman Polanski —Robert Lein Best Actor - Al Pacino Best Actress - Diahann Carrol Best Supporting Actor - Jeff Bridges Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Chinatown Best Direction - Francis Ford Coppola —LeAnn Wagner Best Actor - Albert Finney Best Actress - Gena Rowlands Best Supporting Actor - Jeff Bridges Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Chinatown Best Direction - John Cassavetes —Tim Randich Best Actor - Dustin Hoffman Best Actress - Faye Dunaway Best Supporting Actor - Jeff Bridges Best Supporting Actress - Talia Shise Best Picture - Lenny Best Direction - Bob Fosse I chose Dustin Hoffman as best actor because I’ve seen him in three other movies. My definition of an actor is the ability to play the character as the character and to be able to be many different characters.” From the pictures I've seen, Dustin Hoffman is a very good actor. I’ve read a few things about the movie Lenny, which said it was a good movie. —Dana Maas Best Actor - Al Pacino Best Actress - Faye Dunaway Best Supporting Actor - Jeff Bridges Best Supporting Actress - Madeline Kahn Best Picture - The Towering Inferno Best Direction - Francis Ford Coppola —Vicki Holden Best Actor - Art Carney Best Actress - Diahann Carroll Best Supporting Actor - Jeff Bridges Best Supporting Actress - Ingrid Bergman Best Picture - Lenny Best Direction - Bob Fosse THE ENTERTAINERS Music for one of the dances in the Student Union was provided by Wild Cherry,” an all girl band.

A BJC BENEFACTOR HAROLD SCHAFER One man that has been instrumental in the past, present, and future of BJC is Harold Schafer, President and Chairman of the Board of the Gold Seal Company, the company which he founded in 1942. Mr. Schafer is a firm believer in Junior Colleges. He says that they are the right idea, have been very successful, and will continue to be and to grow. Mr. Schafer has been helpful to BJC since its founding, but perhaps his greatest contribution came in the 1950's when BJC was to move from the building located on the capitol grounds. Fifteen acres had been donated to BJC at the State Penitentiary. Schafer offered an estimated 94 acres in northwest Bismarck overlooking the Missouri River. This location was accepted and an architect hired. On July 1. 1961. the new Bismarck Junior College building at Schafer Heights was opened. The life of Harold Schafer is an American success story. Mr. Schafer was born in Stanton. North Dakota and raised in western.North Dakota, attending schools in Stanton. Killdeer, Glen Ullin, and Bismarck. In the 1929-30 school year, he attended NDSU. but quit for financial reasons. I was making more money than college graduates. From 1930-1935 Mr. Schafer worked for Dahls clothing on Main Street in Bismarck. In 1936 he worked with Vantine's in their Mandan store and from then until 1942. he traveled southwest North Dakota for the Fargo Paint and Glass Company. On May 1. 1942. the Gold Seal Company was established. It was regional at that time, selling in North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Minnesota. The first product, soon to be widely known, was Glass Wax. In 1948 the Gold Seal Company went national and today, with its offices in Bismarck, it does business in the entire United States. Canada, and Mexico, and buys raw materials in Europe. Perhaps three of the best known products of the Gold Seal Company are Glass Wax, Mr. Bubble, and Medora. Medora, in western North Dakota, the home of Theodore Roosevelt in North Dakota and the French Marquis DeMores, has been restored by the Gold Seal Company. The Gold Seal Company's involvement in Medora began with Gold Seal buying some of the historical buildings to give to the State Historical Society. When the Historical Society wouldn’t accept them, the Gold Seal Company began to restore them. Mr. Schafer said that the Gold Seal Company inherited the Old Four Eyes” production that had previously been produced by NDSU. With major changes and the main attempt being to entertain the tourists, the Medora Musical was born. It took ten years to build an audience, but today it often has capacity crowds during its July and August performances. WORK, the name of the Gold Seal Company magazine, reflects the ideals of Harold Schafer and explains his success. Mr. Schafer said that he never knew anyone that starved from work. In May. 1974, Mr. Schafer spoke at the BJC Commencement. At that time he said that he could not tell the graduates what they should do or what their objectives or vocations should be. only that they should work to the best of their ability at whatever they decided to do. When asked what he thought the future would bring, Mr. Schafer replied that Humanity has a nice future. There will be some changes such as in government, but he is very optimistic about the future. He feels that young people have opportunities we know nothing of. The future is fascinating to him. The changes and advancements in science and engineering will make the future active and interesting. Mr. Schafer said that he will never live long enough to do everything that he thinks about. He says that we all have an opportunity to participate in the future and that the future will be good, no matter how you add it up. Mr. Schafer relaxes in front of a display of Gold Seal products. WATERGATE AND FICTION? On Monday. August 12, 1974, President Richard Milhous Nixon resigned as the 37th President of the United States, just 2,026 days after his first term nomination speech. The resignation of this country’s highest office holder was brought about by the June 17, 1972 break-in in the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington D.C. Nixon was accused and later named asan unindictable co-conspirator in the cover-up of political and public-espionage, illegal wire tapping, tax evasion and also the misuse of governmental agencies, such as the F.B.I., the C.I.A. and I.R.S. Before Nixon resigned his post, many of his top White House aides, including Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, resigned (Agnew was found not involved in the Watergate affair, but rather was in trouble himself in Maryland on tax evasion charges, in which Agnew pleaded “no contest and was subsequently convicted). Nixon's downfall began with the testimony of John W. Dean III, who was chief counsel to the President. Dean told a House Judiciary Committee of his knowledge of the tapping system which recorded all Nixon Conversations. From this point on. court trials and numerous court orders to the President, struck down his attempt to conceal these tapes under the invoked law of executive privilege. Still many of these tapes are yet in “cold storage by Nixon's attorneys, who continue with the arguments that they (tapes) are the private property of Nixon. A Grand Jury which listened to the tapes and later named Nixon a co-conspirator convicted 28 of Nixon’s aides and re-election committee membersalong with the actual break-in personnel. It's doubtful the President would have resigned if these tapes had not been issued as evidence by the prosecution. After Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973, Nixon released his choice as Agnew's successor, Gerald R. Ford, and later he was confirmed by the Senate. Upon Nixon's resignation, August 12, 1974, Ford was sworn in as the country's first non- elected President. Later on that gloomy day, he gave his inaugural address to the country and the Congress and asked the people to forget Watergate. But on Sunday September 8, 1974, Ford suddenly pardoned Nixon and brought out a large cry that he was involved or told by Nixon to do so. Many political questions and legal (Nixon was not yet on trial for any crimeasof this time.) issues were brought up. Nixon, meanwhile, was admitted to a hospital near his San Clemente home for a blood clot in his upper left thigh. The problem, a Pulmonary Embolism, came to a head when major surgery was called for by his doctors. Before hand. Nixon had been taking anticoagulant drugs and because of this and the operation, Nixon suffered severe internal bleeding which in fact could have killed the former President. Nixon spent two long and painful weeks in the intensive care unit of the hospital where he was visited by both his family and President Ford. Even as Nixon lay, the steady hounding by both Judge John J. Sirica and the prosecution, called for his presence at the trial of his former aides as a witness. Nixon did, however, have his good points. He stopped the Viet Nam war, brought about the return of POW’s and made the first contact with the Peoples’ Republic of China in 25 years. Today citizen Nixon is in seclusion at his San Clemente home, keeping and remembering his days of office. The following are comments from BJC students concerning the Nixon controversy and their opinions of President Gerald R. Ford. I believe Gerry Ford was an excellent choice. The country needed integrity and honesty and he was able to provide us both. -Joe Wohlfeil The men that were convicted were justly tried although in the end, they will probably get off, proving what a shame our justice system is. I believe it was right to pardon Nixon. It was for the country, not Nixon. I think they made a mountain out of a mole hill. The Nixon aides should not have even been tried, let alone convicted and sentenced. He (Ford) was a good choice for Vice-President, but I don’t think he is what the American people need right now in a president. He's too wishy-washy, we need a leader. I think they should turn over the material pertinent to Watergate, but I don’t think they should turn over anything that is important as far as national defense is concerned, or any conversations with people or about things not concerned with Watergate. I think Nixon should be forced to show all tapes and papers, because this is all involved in the Watergate scandel and should be brought out to prove Nixon is a criminal. Tapes and papers should be made public, since it is a democratic society and the people take part in government decisions, they should know about what’s happening. I feel that the Nixon aides who have been tried and convicted are receiving what they deserve. In the same token, though, Richard Nixon should also be tried and, if proven guilty, take the consequences. I think Ford was a good choice for Vice-President, especially when I think of some of the others who were considered, i.e. Connally. More scandal. At least Ford is clean. It’s too bad the corruption was brought out only in the Republican party. Surely we would be better off getting rid of all bad apples if we looked to both Democrat and Republican. -Liz Crosby Ford was a good and logical choice. There was nothing wrong with President Ford pardoning Nixon. In fact, it's just as well that he did. Nixon's acceptance of the pardon seems an admission of guilt (but who are we to judge)? We have made entirely too much out of Watergate. The news media especially has blown it up so much that who knows what the truth is but God. I believe that Nixon authorized most of the break-ins. I believe he (Ford) was a good choice for Vice-President, but not for president. I think he became president too fast and wasn't really prepared for it. I feel that Mitchell, Erlichman, Dean, and the other conspirators should go to jail along with Nixon. Since Nixon did get involved in the cover up. he’s involved all the way. -Mike Stensrud I think all of his (Nixon’s) aides were in the planning process and tried to keep it from President Nixon. I think President Nixon should have gone to testify and then get a pardon. To this day, we don’t know exactly what happened. We probably will never know. CLUBS AND ORGANIZA- TIONS DECA President Neal Engelman reviews some notes with Secretary-Treasurer Julie Smith. DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America, is an organization of young business students who wish to pursue careers in marketing and distribution. Active in the club this year were Neal Engelman, President; Al Wangler, Vice- President; and Julie Smith. Secretary-Treasurer. Other members were Tom Crouse. Dennis Sukut, Richard Anderson, Janice Iverson, Steve Grabar, Barb Smith, Shannon Burns, Susan Lachenmeier, and Ed Getz. The years activities included social as well aseducational activities. In order to finance the activities, the club engaged in the taking of inventories for various retailing concerns in Bismarck. This not only generated income, but also provided a learning experience. Students also have the opportunity to use the skills they have learned in class and on the job in competition with other students from colleges across North Dakota. The students who are rated highest in this competition are eligible to compete nationally with college students from throughout the United States. BJC had four students competing at the National DECA Conference in Hollywood, Florida this year. They were Julie Smith, Al Wangler, Susan Lachenmeier. and Ed Getz. HOSPITALITY CLUB The Hospitality Club served for banquets and meetings held in the Student Union. With advisors Jack Mills and Larry Mandigo, the Hospitality Club promotes interest and spirit through learning and social experience in the hospitality industry. Leading the group of 22 members are President Kathern Schon, Vice-President Robert Buss, Secretary Tamara Vossler, and Treasurer Debra Lang. Public Relations is handled by Allan Stenejhem. In the past the Hospitality Club has been active at the North Dakota Hospitality Association Convention by sponsoring a booth promoting the Bismarck Junior College Hotel-Motel Restaurant Program. They have also served or participated in several banquets and meetings at the BJC Student Union. INTERVARSITY Vicky Holden provides guitar accompaniment for singing at I.V. meetings. Among the organizations on campus there is one which provides a chance for Christian fellowship and an opportunity to reach out to those who are seeking Christ. That is Intervarsity, more commonly known as I.V. Once a week these Christian young people get together for a Bible study, prayer, singing, Christian fellowship, and praising the Lord. Unlike many clubs. Intervarsity has no special requirements necessary for membership. It is open to anyone interested in sharing their faith. Acting as advisor for the group this year is Pastor Stanley Malmgren. Officers are: Intervarsity Chairman, Linda Retzer: Evangelism Chairman, LaVonna Haberstroh; Publicity Chairman. Barbara Holwegner; Christian Growth Chairman. Robert Radspinner: Fellowship Chairman, Sandra Ulmer: and Missions Chairman. John Stober. FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES Chairman of this year’s FCA was Mark Wolitarsky. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization was revived this year, having been inactive for a time. Faculty advisor Don Bigwood was responsible for getting things started towards reorganization. The attendance of the weekly meetings averages 15. with leadership of the group provided by an executive committee. This year's committee consisted of Chairman Mark Wolitarsky, Tim Clausnitzer, and Jenny Wavrin. The year was quite successful and leads to a promising year for 1975- 1976. Membership is open to anyone having an interest in sports, with the emphasis on Christianity. The meetings provide a chance for interested athletes, male and female, to gather for singing, sharing and Bible study. Discussions center on Christian growth, especially on being more effective in contacts made through participation in athletics. Students share their joys, problems, and insights in these informal meetings. As the year progressed, the group became knit together through a common bond, Jesus Christ. It is the main purpose of the group to grow in understanding, be able to share Christianity with others. LETTERMEN’S CLUB In May, a Lettermen’s Club Awards Night was held to honor BJC’s outstanding athletes. The Lettermen's Club is an organization through which athletes can raise money for special projects, provide entertainment for themselves and others and become involved in school activities. This year could be termed a real success as far as the projects that were carried out, but overall involvement was not at an all time high. With Mrs. Nancy Stavn as the advisor, Phila Bresnahan as President, and Kathy Messer as Vice-President, the Lettermen's Club sponsored a dance at the beginning of the school year and sold concessions at the basketball games and wrestling matches. The funds raised are used for projects such as buying letter awards for the athletes. The club was also actively and very successfully involved in Homecoming and Frost Festival activities. They sponsored the winning Homecoming Queen candidate. Beth Reimnitz, the winning float for the parade, and the winning candidates for Frost Festival King and Queen, Gerald P. Hornerand Lois Schauer. The only requirement for membership is that the person be involved as athletic participant, cheerleader, or dance team member. RODEO CLUB The newly organized Rodeo Club involved 25 cowboys and cowgirls. The BJC Rodeo Club was organized during the fall semester to further the interest of rodeo as a sport and to participate in collegiate rodeos. Elected officers for the year were President Howard Donner, Vice- President Carla Hanson, Secretary Deb Trotter. Treasurer Diane Johnson, and Reporter Carmel Sailer. Advising them was Mr. Joel Janke. The club's membership included 25 active participants. In November the club worked at the Bismarck Indoor Rodeo to earn money for their various activities. They also held a dance on March 14 and raffled off two rifles that were won by Charles Messmer and Ken Fitzgerald. The Rodeo Club competes in timed events, in which the rider must finish in the least amount of time. The men of the club compete in team roping, bareback bronc riding, and bull riding. The women compete in barrel racing, pole bending, keyhole race, and other games events. Although there were no rodeos until late April, the club had to keep in practice. Jack Fettig of Killdeer loaned them broncs to ride during the winter. Speed event practice, such as the ones the women compete in, and the men’s team roping, were held at Wageman’s J-bar-S Stable arena. For four consecutive weekends, club members packed their gear and traveled throughout North and South Dakota to compete in NIRA (National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association) Rodeos. They must transport their own animals at personal expense on trips to various rodeos and pay entry fees and stabling for their horses. They competed in their first rodeo in Vermillion at the University of South Dakota on April 26 and 27. Other rodeos were held at South Dakota State University, Brookings on May 2-3, Dickinson State College on May 10-11, and at Rapid City, South Dakota on May 17-18. VETS CLUB A Spring Formal sponsored by the Vets Club was held in April. The Vets Club is an organization on campus, the purpose of which is to provide service to Bismarck Junior College, the administration, faculty, staff, and students. In addition, it gives BJC Veterans opportunities for social activities. Any student enrolled at BJC who has served or is presently serving on active duty for a minimum of six months in the Armed Services of the United States is eligible to become a member of the club. Officers of the 1974-75 year were Joe Kolberg, President: Dennis Wagner, Vice-President: Lee Redson, Treasurer; and Max Voeller, Secretary. Co-advisors of the group were Earl Peterson and Richard Jackman. The Vets Club hosted social gatherings for the Third House, a group of legislators and their staff members. They also sponsored a Spring Formal in April for BJC students. HOTEL-MOTEL FACULTY Having been in the military before coming to BJC in 1974, Larry Mandigo now is involved in teaching Hotel-Motel Restaurant Management. When asked to compare BJC to other schools, he replied, Concerning the Hotel- Motel Restaurant Program and the length our program has been in existence, we are in excellent condition! Mr. Mandigo isa graduate of the American Hotel and Motel Association Educational Institute, a school affiliated with Michigan State University. His family consists of his wife, Sheryl. I feel we have a very good Hospitality Program and we will be one of the best two-year programs in the United States in the very near future is the opinion of Jack Mills. Mr. Mills has been here since 1972 teaching the Hotel-Motel Restaurant Program. Much of his life has been spent in the Air Force as he isa graduate of the Air University. Department of the U.S. Air Force. Gunter AFB, Alabama. He also taught while in the Air Force and at the North Dakota State Penitentiary. He and hiswife, Bernadine, have nine children. Students enrolled in the Hotel-Motel Program prepare for an evening banquet. A newcomer to BJC’s teaching staff is Leroy Merkel. He is responsible for the instruction of the cook-chef trainees. A graduate of the Devoy Technical Institute in Chicago, Illinois, Mr. Merkel was in the service before coming to BJC. He is married and has four children. BJC’S CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE “I've been mopping up the hallways all my livelong days, sings Fred Fischer of the janitorial staff as he pushes a pail and mop around the main building. Fred is only one of many who keep our buildings in top shape. The head of the custodial engineers is Adolph Johnson, who is assisted by Fred and Joe Blotsky in the main building. The cleaning staff in the Student Union consists of Don Riedl and Charles Jordan. Beatrice Schrenk and Neoma Wurscher man, (or is it woman?) the Men’s Dorm and Luella Nagel is the head janitress in the Girls' Dorm. Mrs. Wurscher's only complaint about the job is that she always seems to be scrubbing the toilets when somebody takes her picture for the yearbook or newspaper, which she says isn’t a fair image of her real job as housemother. The Library is kept spic and span by Irma Morast. When Fred was first asked about his job, he said, “Wha?! , but then quickly came to life saying, “Our business is always picking up. 5 NORTH DAKOTA POLITICS ’74-’75 The 1974-75 political scene began with an upset as William Guy. former Governor of North Dakota, faced his first major election defeat with a difference of only 188 votes. After over 40.000 votes were cast in the 1974 election, the people of North Dakota decided that Milton R. Young would continue to represent them in the United States Senate. Tax Commissioner Byron Dorgan also suffered a major defeat after challenging incumbent Mark Andrews for the House of Representatives seat. The Governor and his staff meet with legislators for a coffee break to discuss current lawmaking. A considerable number of onlookers were always present during the 1975 Legislative Session. By far the most significant issue of the Legislative session was the coal severance tax. During the last days of the session, the Republican majority pulled through a 50-cent- a-ton-tax over the percentage tax proposed by the Democrats and Governor Link. The next most controversial issue was the Equal Rights Amendment. By a margin of one, the Equal Rights Amendment passed its second round in the North Dakota Legislature. North Dakota was the 34th State to ratify the amendment to the United States Constitution which declares that equality under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex. Another bill that made news headlines was Senate Bill 2088. Had this bill passed, it would have established a West River Conservancy District to prepare for the diversion of water from the Missouri River. Prabably the most significant legislative action on labor's behalf, was the passage of various One onlooker hopes for the best during the Senate vote on ERA. proposals expanding Workmen's Compensation coverage. The two major educational defeats of the session were the exclusion of foundation payments for public Kindergartens from Senate Bill 2026 and the down to the wire defeat of a statewide public television system. Senate Bill 2109 and Senate Bill 2015. The ETV vote in the Senate raised a constitutionality question about the voting rights of the Lieutenant Governor, which was cleared up by a decision of the Attorney General, Allen Olson. Former Governor William Guy, a 1974 candidate for the North Dakota Senate seat, spoke to BJC Students. 12 Senate Bill 2445 gives the court another option in deciding drunk driving cases, that of impoundment of the driver's vehicle. As in 1973. North Dakota's young people saw the summer youth internship and work program fizzle. Once again a bill to lower the drinking age was introduced, this time by Representative Robert Martinson from Bismarck. However, it was withdrawn for lack of constituent support before a vote was taken. Bills on Legislative Reapportionment were ironed out and passed this year also. Tuition Reciprocity was defeated in the House Appropriations Committee, but was reintroduced in the Senate, where it was passed. It was then sent to the floor of the House, where it also passed. Now, students in the states of North Dakota and Minnesota can attend school in either state and pay in- state tuition rather than out-of- state tuition. Byron Knudson, challenger of the Democratic candidate in the primary election who won a place on the ballot in the general election, visited BJC. Senator Francis Barth of Solen vocalizes on what he called low tactics by the anti-ERA group before the vote. Tax Commissioner Byron Dorgan made a bid for the U.S. House seat held by Republican Mark Andrews and was defeated. 5: BJC CAMPUS EXPANDS WITH VO-TECH CENTER The Vocational-Technical Center measures about 170 feet by 435 feet and covers 63,500 square feet. Glass panels mark the main entrance on the south side of the building. Although none of the buildings on BJC's campus are very old, the newest addition is the Vo Tech Building, located on West College Drive, north of the Student Union. The Vo Tech building was in the planning stage for about three years with a contract finally agreed upon in the fall of 1973. Jack Askew of Bismarck designed the one-story building. The reason for being a one-story building without a basement is that it's an ideal design for a vocational center. Basements have a tendency to allow heavy gases to accumulate. These gases could be toxic or very explosive. A higher building would require elevators and hinder the installation of heavy equipment. The building was constructed by Harley Miller Construction with several sub- contractors at a cost of $1,680,000.00 plus another several thousand dollars invested in equipment. The building itself is approximately 170 feet by 435 feet with about 63,500 square feet of floor space. One thing that distinguishes this building from the others on campus is that the class room areas are “color coded . For example, the Agri-Business is in the yellow section, Graphic and Advertising Arts classrooms are in the bright orange section, and Auto Body is in the blue section. The building was not opened for classes until December 1974. and, as of yet, is not entirely finished. Among the areas to be completed are landscaping and addition of sidewalks. Eventually there will be sidewalks on the south and west sides of the building. The present black lawn will be sodded, and trees and flowers will be planted. A 100-space student parking lot will be added on the east side and additional parking for instructors to the north. Classes are held in the Vo-Tech Center, not only for college students, but also for high school and some adult students. Courses offered include Auto Mechanics, Auto Body Repair, Welding, Electronics. Commercial Art, Agri-Business. Building Trades, and Vocational Agriculture. There are presently 225 full- time college students and 300 high school students enrolled in courses offered in the center. The color coded buttresses spanning the hallway indicate the different class room areas. Next year’s enrollment will be at its maximum of 250 college students and about 500 high school students from Bismarck's three high schools. To help these students learn are 25 faculty members, both secondary and post-secondary. Also employed here are three building maintenance persons, two security guards, two supervisors, and two full-time secretaries for the administration. This low, flat building known officially as the Bismarck Vocational-Technical Center involves a great many people, whether student, teacher, or custodian, and will always be one of Bismarck's and BJCs many assets. One of the classes held in the Center is Auto Mechanics, taught by Jasper Kleinjan. The main office houses the Center’s Supervisors and secretaries. Mr. Willard Bingenheimer is the Supervisor of the Trades and Industry faculty. rli 0yj}erpa Perry Born ffeferuapry 22, .1955 Died QctoSW 13, 1974 1 Atte 0 6 7 3f-74 - , %6rgafevem6ef , S$54 If, w - ‘ 0ie3OTlober 25.4974 Attend BtJC 197 4 'T' ?}{:' % y'fi r ;• FI ..v BJC’S HOUSEMOTHERS Imagine yourself as one of the 107 girls who move into the Girl's Dorm at BJC each year and the first person you would probably meet is the housemother, Mrs. Esther Steckel. Mrs. Steckel has been at BJC for eight years, coming here in August, 1967. Working here. she admits, has its 'ups' and 'downs'. There are days when I really enjoy it and days when I wish I could pack up and leave permanently. It seemsasthough thegirlsare getting more disrespectful and inconsiderate each year.” In her opinion, this stems from family life, which has changed since she was a child. In spite of this and the long hours involved, she appears to enjoy her position as housemother. Mrs. Steckel comes from a large family, having seven brothers and three sisters. She has lived in several North Dakota areas, including Makoti (where she was born), Sawyer. Deering. and Minot. Los Angeles. California was her home for 12 lA years. Here she did domestic work; clerked in a department store, where she met her husband, William; and managed an apartment house for two years after she was married. When Mr. Steckel became ill, they moved back to North Dakota. Mrs. Steckel takes pride in the fact that her husband was a nationally known chess champion who won the state title in 1954, the same year he died. An ambitious woman. Mrs. Steckel's hobbies include many types of handicrafts, such as sewing, crocheting, and ceramics. She is a farm girl at heart and even now takes great pleasure in bringing a little of the outdoors inside where she spends a lot of her time caring for her beautiful house plants. Mrs. Steckel was assisted this year by Student Proctors Audrey Riehl, Sandy Peterson, Pam Mickelson. Connie Moore, Pam Streigel, and Barbara Brodehl. The manager of the Wilton Hotel in Wilton, North Dakota for eight years, Mrs. Neoma Wurscher moved to Bismarck last year to assume the responsibility of housemother in the Men’s Dorm. I like it here and plan to stay until I retire and get senile. she laughed. Mrs. Wurscher was born and raised in Red Wood Falls. Minnesota, where she also attended and graduated from high school. Before managing the Wilton Hotel, she was a nurses aide. Mrs. Wurscher has three children. In her spare time, Mrs. Wurscher sews and reads and she enjoys an occasional game of cards, which is almostall you can do here.” Mrs. Wurscher feels that the classrooms in the dorm create problems for the boys. These students park in the dormitory parking lot and use the dormitory for a walkway to classrooms. This deprives the boys of their privacy. Asked her opinion about dormitory regulations, she replied. We must have rules. They'll always be broken, but we must have something as a guide. Proctors in the Men's Dormitory were Leo Hennessey, Joe LaQua, Clyde Hardesty, Terry Freih, Joe Wolfeil, and Ted DeGrage. Assistants were Gerald P. Horner. Mike Stensrud, Keith Huber. Jim Heid, Rodney Traub. Greg Oswald, and Bryce Zieman. All proctors and assistants from both dorms comprise the Dorm Council, which holds meetings when necessary under the guidance of Mr. Agre, Dean of Students. The Men’s Dorm consists of the north and south wings with the central portion used as classrooms. HISTORY FACULTY ? ' ' x .•' «� £ i X i % ! ,,W Ul jr h On par with other institutions of higher education is how J. Michael McCormack feels about this place we all know as BJC. A graduate of BJC and UND. he has taught history for the last eight years. You’ll not only find Mr. McCormack in the classroom, but also backstage directing the stage crew whenever BJC presents any kind of a play or musical. He has a wife and one daughter named Shannon. Having taught here since 1962. Warren A. Henke attempts to enrich his students in the knowledge of United States History and American Studies. Mr. Henke has a Bachelor of Arts Having taught political science at BJC since 1967, Mr. David W. Sitte finds BJC compares very favorably to other schools. A seemingly mild-mannered man. Mr. Sitte is a graduate of NDSU and taught at Max. North Dakota before coming to BJC. Degree from Valparaiso University, a Master of Arts Degree from Colorado State College, and a Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico. He taught at Beulah High School and the Bismarck Junior High before coming here. COMMERCIAL ART FACULTY In his second year of teaching Commercial Arts at BJC is Mr. Richard Jackman, more commonly known as “Dick to his students. Having been here awhile, Mr. Jackman finds BJC compares quite favorably to other schools. Besides teaching commercial and advertising arts, you can also find him giving fine art. music, and drama lessons on the side. He is a graduate of Idaho State University and Pocatello, and has taught at schools in Blackfoot. Idaho; Binford, Cavalier, and Manvel, North Dakota. His family is composed of two girls, two boys, one wife, and one cat. An instructor in the Commercial Arts Department, who formerly taught at the Moorhead Area Technical School, is Mr. Dave Garner. After teaching at BJC for four years, Mr. Garner claims to have never considered comparing BJC to other schools. Evaluation, yes—comparing, no. I guess in evaluating I would have to say that BJC, generally, is doing a good job by adequately serving the area residents as well as the immediate community; which is the purpose of a community college”. He has a wife, Donna, and three children. Lisa, Ginger, and Chad. Commercial Art Students make ready for their spring Art Show. 59 BISMARCK’S RAILWAY DEPOT One of Bismarck’s most picturesque landmarks is the Northern Pacific Railway Depot located on Main Street. With a history as picturesque as its appearance, it is no longer as important as it once was. In days gone by, the depot served as a hub for the wheel of Northern’s rail transportation network. The station originated on the drawing boards of Charles Reed and Allen Stem, two nationally respected architects in St. Paul, Minnesota, who later designated the reconstruction of Grand Central Station in New York City. Designed in the mode of a Spanish mission, the building was unique in the architecture of the Northwest. The concrete walls are faced with marble chips which were originally intended for use in the Minnesota Capitol Building. These chips were transported to Bismarck, crushed and mixed with the concrete to that the coarse particles came to rest near the forms. The structure was given the stucco-like texture by brushing the concrete with a wire brush after it was dry. The red-tiled roof and terrazzo floor completed the “Spanish look . It was finished in 1901. According to a long-time depot employee, several china dolls were placed in the building by two brothers on the construction crew. To this day, only three have been discovered. These three four-inch figurines are mounted into the cement on the south exterior of the depot. It is interesting to note the interior of the center portion does not have any square corners. All the woodwork is made of maple and cherry hardwood. In spite of 20th Century remodeling, the depot has changed very little in appearance during all its years of service to the Northern Pacific Railway and to the community of Bismarck. 61 NORTH DAKOTA STATE CAPITOL AND MUSEUM The North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck was constructed in 1933 when three years before the original building was almost destroyed by fire. Only a portion of the old building, which dates back to 1884. could be salvaged. Lawmakers of the 1931 legislature drafted a measure calling for a $2,000,000.00 limit on spending for the construction of a new facility. The bill was signed on February 23, 1931 by Governor F. Schafer. In 1933. construction was delayed due to a strike by the unskilled laborers who demanded a pay raise from $.30 to $.50 an hour. A small riot broke out when skilled workers attempted to cross picket lines. On May 24. two men were hospitalized and eleven arrested. Governor Langer posted National Guard troops at the site to maintain order and protect the building. The present capitol contains 19 stories, the tower reaching a height of 241 feet 8 inches, and is 95 feet square. The entire structure is 389 feet long from east to west. The columns lining Memorial Hall are made of bronze. The light fixtures, which are 12 feet long and 30 inches in diameter, contain 120 light bulbs each. The large bronze windows cast a unusual shadow across the floor of Memorial Hall on the first floor of the capitol. The exterior is faced with a Wisconsin Black Granite base and Indiana Limestone. Within, the walls are done in matched exotic wood paneling of Honduras Mahogany, East Indian Rosewood and Laurel wood, English Brown Oak, and Burma Teak. The building stone includes Tennessee Marble. Yellowstone Travertine from Montana, and Belgian Black Marble imported from Belgium. The building houses offices of the North Dakota government, the Senate and House of Representatives Chambers, and the Supreme Court. The North Dakota Historical Society was actually organized in December, 1894. although there were some earlier groups with the same purpose of preserving the history of North Dakota. Officers of the Society were Clement A. Lounsberry, pioneer publisher of the Bismarck Tribune, North Dakota’s state capitol building, in its simplicity and practicability, is actually a beautiful building located on the expansive green and well-kept capitol grounds. president; Linda W. Slaughter, vice-president and corresponding secretary; Marshall A. Jewell, second vice-president; and Warren C. Baker, recording secretary. However, it failed to receive public support and languished in 1897. It was not until June 2, 1903 that with the aid of Mr. Lounsberry and a young vivacious history professor. Dr. Orin G. Libby, the Society began to actively function. With 68 members, it adopted a constitution and by-laws and elected new officers - President C.A. Lounsberry. Vice-President M.H. Jewell, Secretary W.R. Libby, and Treasurer J.L. Cashel. The name was also changed to the State Historical Society of North Dakota. In 1924, the Society moved from u' A statue of Sakajawea stands on the Capitol grounds honoring the Shoshone Indian who led Lewis and Clark across the Rocky Mountains.

In the 17 exhibit rooms of the museum there are natural history, archaelogical, ethnological, and pioneer exhibits. The Indian collection, one of the world's finest, presents their culture with a unique realness. Other highlights of the museum include the fine animal exhibits, the silver set from the U.S. Ship North Dakota, and the exquisitely carved marble staircase. 6; ON THE NEWS A fateful day of swallowed pride for the United States and a quick defeat for South Viet Nam as an American Huey Helicopter leaves the American Embassy during the evacuation of South Viet Nam. President Gerald R. Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger continue the job of International Watch Dog to world conflicts.

I can’t really give an opinion of the top 100 songs because I haven’t heard that many of them.—Dennis Lindquist I don’t think it is a good cross section of all music done. Most of the songs shouldn’t have been rated!—Eric P. Engler I think “Come and Get your Love” byi Redbone should be No. 1 song.—David Jones Don't listen very often to radio. KFYR censors the songs. They play the same songs over and over. Like Elton John. Would like to hear more variety. Soul, Rock, etc.— Leo Mull I don’t think too much about any of them—Mary Erickson It doesn’t cover the tunes for all songs and for all musicians. I feel it is limited because the guys on KFYR do the choosing it seems and if they don't like it they don’t play it!—Jeanne Knuth I think that the songs that are there are good and should be there but many times I find it hard to believe the order that they are placed. Like, the ’74 list had many of the songs I’d have rated in the top twenty-five in the last twenty- five. I would like to know how the songs are placed in order in the “top 100“ list. My opinion of the top 100 tunes is that they're not the top 100 tunes, unless they're geared toward the 7th and 8th grade, which they probably are.—Dorothy Adams I didn't really care for them. I like the songs of this year better. But when they play them over and over I get sick of hearing them.—Cindy Schriock I think some of the songs are OK. and some aren't. Obviously, everyone's opinions of songs vary and if I were to make a list of the 100 I liked best it would differ.— Angela Houser I feel some of the songs are really bad. I can't see how they were picked. I think they could of had some better choices.—Verna Gross ACADEMIC RECOGNITION Who's Who in American Junior Colleges is a national organization honoring outstanding junior college students, with an annual publication listing new members.

STUDENT SENATE When the Student Senate held their first meeting of the 1974-75 school year, the first order of business was the selection of a new student body president from the confines of the Senate itself, a problem that the Student Senate of past years had not yet encountered. Greg Oswald was elected to fill the position of Student Body President of BJC for the year. After getting organized and hurriedly establishing the Homecoming Activities for 1974, the Student Senate and the Student Union Program Director set up a committee to establish a permanent standing programming group, which bore the name, Board of Governors.

Communication links were also improved between the Student Senate and the Administration by placing students as representatives on six major administrative and faculty committees. Tim Dailey wishes to comment on the business under discussion. Greg Oswald explains the duties of the Student Senate President to Joe Wohlfeil, who was elected President for 1975-76. The 44th Legislative Assembly of North Dakota gave the Student Senate a chance to practice the art of lobbying. Several major bills dealing with increased funding in the Junior College system of North Dakota were urged into passage by the Student Senate with the help of the North Dakota Student Association. George Berger worked on Student-related topics such as the Ifegal drinking age, tuition reciprocity with Minnesota, and Educational Television, while Bruce Hager and Greg Oswald studied ERA, Garrison Diversion, and Coal Development, which are of a more general nature. Oswald and Berger also lobbied for more funds for Junior Colleges. A student Senate purpose is to promote cooperation among students and faculty. One of the Student Projects was that of planting trees around the Student Union. Other major projects during the year included increasing the activity fee, landscaping the area around the Student Union, and establishing a temporary check cashing service for the students to be located in the bookstore. The Senate also took part in selection of a new Dean of Students and a counselor for BJC.

The Secret Life of Plants - Peter Tompkins I thoroughly enjoyed the book “How To Be Your Own Best Friend’', by Mildred Newman and Bernard Berkowitz. It gives the readera positive, rewarding, attitude about himself as well as those that surround him. The book deals on the principle of liking and accepting yourself before you can even begin to like and accept others. The authors did a fantastic job of getting their material across by questions and answers. The material was easy to relate to and I would recommend the book to anyone and everyone. “Gulag Archipelago —This book, though boring in spots, was interesting in a morbid sense. It showed the terrible crimes committed to Russians during Stalin's reign, and it left me amazed to think that medieval torture is still practiced. The best book I have re ad is the “Professor. The story is about the Mafia and its manipulation. The author does a good job with description enabling the reader to become easily involved in the plot. It was a most interesting subject. The story is basically about a professor who teaches children of the Mafia and soon the professor himself is involved in the whole manipulation. The story is dramatic. It moves quickly and easily. Lori Kopp “Troubled Sleep by Jean Paul- Satue was my favorite book. It showed people as individuals and showed their subconscious. Brian Leno “Andersonville is the story, not only of life in the southern prisoner of war camps during the Civil War, but of people. Horrible conditions existed in the camp and their conditions brought out different qualities in different men. However, men reacted to their conditions pretty much as they had been taught to do in the past. Their past experience made them what they were in the prison camps as well as in ordinary living. Life in the prison campsduring the Civil War was barbaric. I would imagine that all things being equal, these things could happen again in this day and age. even though we believe we have come ahead so far in our dealings with our fellowman. If one compared what went on in the Japanese and German prisoner of war camps in World War II, it was not much better. 72 mmaamm DEBATE TEAM Bloomington, Minnesota; Powell, Wyoming; Bozeman and Billings, Montana; and Fargo, North Dakota were the sites of the tournaments attended by the BJC Debate and Forensics Team this year. Debate, which was temporarily inactive, began this year with Mrs. Laura Orchard as advisor, and the following students: Stephanie Melstad, Wayne Holznagel, Ray Sanders. Nick Aberle, Charles Messmer, Bruce Hager, Ron Otto, and George Berger. , ■ An active Debate Team member was George Berger, Mandan. A debate team consists of two people. A debate round consists of one team arguing for the resolved change and one team against. Each speaker gives two speeches and has a chance to cross-examine his opponent with direct questions. Each round lasts one hour, and the teams will switch opponents and alternate sides of the question. This year's topic is resolved: that the powers of the Presidency be significantly curtailed. All of the other colleges around the nation use the same topic. Being very general, this topic opened for debate'such areas as the CIA, executive agreements, treaties. the war powers, emergency powers, elections, secrecy, and the duties of the Vice-Presidents. At tournaments, the debaters were required to participate in at least one other speech event, such as Original Oratory, Humorous Interpretation, Serious Interpretation, Impromtu Speaking, Oral Book Review. Extemporaneous Interpretation, Great American Speeches, Discussion, and Lincoln-Douglas style debate (one to one). Kari Lee, Joe Wolfeil, and Jane Hansen also accompanied the team at various tournaments, taking part in only the individual speech events. The team also assisted Erv Ely, Fine Arts Chairman, during the District Class B Speech Festival as judges and in the tabulations room. The 1974-75 debate team had a very successful year, although they met tough opposition in many four-year and professional schools entering speech majors in competition. Bruce Hager was another of the eight students that constituted the Team. Mrs. Laura Orchard, economics and speech instructor, was the Advisor for the Debate and Forensics Team. SYMPHONIC WINDS CHOSEN GOVERNOR’S BAND This year, approximately 50 BJC students made up the Symphonic Winds. These students, under the direction of Mr. Erv Ely, had educational interests varying from academic to vocational programs: ranging from music majors to engineering students, to secretarial and liberal arts. About the only thing they all had in common was playing an instrument of one kind or another and enjoying music enough to want to practice and perform it. The Symphonic Winds had the honor of being chosen as the Governor's Band for 1974-75. The Governor's Band is chosen by the Governor from a list of candidates submitted through legislative offices. BJC is the first community college in North Dakota to be given this honor. As the Governor’s Band, the Symphonic Winds represent the Governor at official functions for which he wishes to have representation. The band presented a Governor's Concert on April 4. 1974, played at the opening session of the 44th Legislative Assembly on Under the direction of Erv Ely, band members practice their concert pieces. 74 Dennis Dockter, Keith Grotewold, and Kevin Nathan concentrate on keeping a steady beat.

January 7, 1975, and members performed selections at the Governor’s Council on Youth at the Townhouse Motor Inn in September, 1974.

'nic Winds played at the opening session ' the Legislature. Peasant”, an overture by Frans von Suppe; marches like Eric Osterling’s The Nutmeggers”, | and The Southerner by Russel Alexander; or Spanish as is Amparito Roca”, a march composed by James Texidor; and several others. Poet and Peasant was by far the toughest piece for the band to learn and yet it was probably the most brilliant and exciting selection that the band played all year. The band presented Governor Link with a banner boasting them as the official Governer’s Band. While on tour, members of the Symphonic Winds went skiing in the mountains of Big Sky, Montana. Sandy Meidinger and Jon Leet relaxed from the busy tour by skiing on the slopes of Big Sky. Probably the highlight and the biggest objective of the year was tour, which lasted from March 4-9. For the first time they played at other colleges as well as Class B schools. After performing at Eastern Montana College in Billings and Montana State University in Bozeman, the musicians spent a weekend on the ski slopes at Big Sky and went sight-seeing as far as West Yellowstone, the snowmobile capital of the world. No matter how you look at it, the Symphonic Winds put in a pretty full and exciting year. 7 The Symphonic Winds is made up of approximately 50 BJC students.

These people meet and organize activities for former students, and discuss proposals for the betterment of the college at various levels. Two Alumni Association members hold pleasant conversation at their banquet. The President of the organization is Pat Higgins.

After the meeting and banquet, everyone took time to sit back and relax. FROST FESTIVAL Frost Festival 1975. the tenth year of this annual event, was marked by a lack of snow and interest.

Under the direction of Bismarck Junior College, the center is funded under the comprehensive Employment Training Act and the State Board for Vocational Education. All students that have been enrolled have emphasized the need for a high school diploma. There are four basic programs involved in the center. General education development covers grammar usage, natural science, social studies, literature, reading, and mathematics. Under basic skills, a student may have a high school diploma, but want to refresh in one or more subjects.

BISMARCK DAKOTA ZOO The Dakota Zoo. located in Sertoma Riverside Park, is owned and operated by Dakota Zoological Society, a non-profit organization. It originated in June 1961 when Mr. Mark Christianson of Bismarck planned a park area with animals. In spite of a shaky beginning, approximately 85,000 persons now visit the zoo every summer. The zoo is entirely self- supporting, there is no state or government aid or tax revenue. There are 14 summer employees and five winter employees. are native to North Dakota and the plains region. Among them are the shaggy buffalo, prairie dogs, turtles a Clydesdale pony, and Clyde, who, at over 1600 pounds, is the world’s largest Kodiak or Alaskan Brown Bear. 84 85 MYSTIC As is the tradition at BJC, the Mystic wrestlers put together another outstanding season for ’74-'75. That tradition should be attributed to the coach. Ed Kringstad, as he has put together, year after year, probably the most well-balanced, consistent college wrestling team in the state. That ability was given special recognition this past year as Coach Kringstad was named the North Dakota College Coach of the Year and the National Junior College Wrestling Coach of the Year for 1974. Bismarck Junior College is more than proud to claim Ed Kringstad as its wrestling coach as well as Athletic Director. Ron Sanford maneuvers for points on Gary Hoffman Night-vs-Jamestown College. Leo Hennessey concentrates on a takedown against his opponent in the 142-pound weight class. During the season Leo compiled a 12-2 record. WRESTLING And, of course, even as Coach Kringstad would be sure to point out. an outstanding tradition stems from more than just an outstanding coach. It includes an outstanding group of competitors —a real championship team. Many individuals make up that team and one individual of the past two seasons from '12-1A who received special recognition was Gary Hoffman. Gary, who was named North Dakota College Athlete of the Year for 1974, was honored with Coach Kringstad at a ceremony during the BJC-James- town College dual meet this year. The night, dubbed Gary Hoffman Night, honored Gary’s Gary Hoffman was recognized as North Dakota College Athlete of the year for 1974. Coach Kingstad was awarded a placque and trophy by Stan Stelter of the AP Sports Writers honoring him with two Coach of the year titles. achievements in his career as a Mystic. He held 18 records while at BJC, among which were Most Career Wins (66). Most Wins in a Season (35) 1972-1973. Most Tournament Wins in a Career (34), and BJC'squickestfall (:07)as well as many others. Gary was a National Champion at 158 pounds in 1973 and 1974 and was also named to First Team All-American honors each of those years. As is readily seen, BJC has had many superlatives in the past and the 1974-75 season just added to that list. As a team in 1974-75. the Mystics placed first in five tournaments, second in the NDCAC tournament as a first year entry, and seventh in the National Junior College Tournament.

They did not take the NDCAC Tournament Championship when they finished behind Minot State 101-100. All in all, they proved to 88 be a very worthy member of that conference consisting almost entirely of four year schools. Individual recordsand awards were spread quite evenly throughout the Green and Gold grapplers. Co-Captains Rhett Hilzendeger and Ken Gabriel led the Mystics with very worthy accomplishments. Rhett received National Championship and All American honorsfrom ’73-’74 and carried a 32-3 record that included five tournament championships in '74-’75. He also placed fifth in the NJCAA Tournament. He recorded 158 takedowns which led the team for the year and also gave him the BJC single season takedown record and career takedown record (234). Ken Gabriel also recorded a 32-3 season for ’74-’75. This record included five tournament championships. He holds the Leo Hennessey prepares to tie up with Jamestown College foe. BJC’s outstanding wrestling tradition can be ascribed to the impressive efforts of Mystic Coach Ed Kringstad. Mystic record for falls (35) in a career. Ken accomplished this over his two years at BJC. The Outstanding Wrestler for the Mystics this season, and rightfully so, was Robin Ayres at 190 pounds. Ayres’ season record was 32-2. He led the team in falls (21), most 3-near falls (26), and team points (58) for the season. All three of these marks were also all-time Mystic single season records. Also among the single season records for Robin were his 23 tournament victories in taking six tournament championships and a second place finish in the NJCAA Tournament. For his accomplishments. Robin was named a First Team All-American member and, being only a freshman, will return next season as a captain and hopefully add to his records as a Mystic. Other outstanding individuals for 1974-75 were Gerald Horner, Carroll Dewing, Doug Weisz, Gary Colebank, Leo Hennessey, and Ron Meyer.

It was the first time they had an undefeated dual meet season. 8 VISITING SCHOLARS Bismarck Junior College again had a Visiting Scholar Series in 1974-75 in which programs were scheduled. Several brought individuals of merit to the BJC campus. On October 8th, Richard Casper, a pianist was the first guest and appeared at the Sidney J. Lee Auditorium. Casper’s recital, for which he was well received, included works by Schumann, Hayden, Ginastera, Scribine and Liszt. Currently director of the Cape Cod Conservatory of Music and Art, Casper has toured Europe several times. Since his New York debut in 1962, he has toured coast to coast annually and has performed in Carnegie Hall. Dr. Radu Florescu, second Visiting Scholar, presented a film and lecture dealing the historical background of Count Dracula on October 31st, which was fitting with Halloween spirits. Dr. Florescu, Romanian born, began researching Romanian history during his undergraduate and graduate studies at Oxford University. Dr. Florescu also taught and was a British Council Scholar at Oxford. He is presently teaching at Boston College. In a note of irony, a blood bank was part of the day’s schedule of events. Dr. Peterson explored freedom and dignity, two basic concepts in being human. Dr. Donald McCaffrey, Professor of Cinema, presented two silent comedy classics from the 1920's starring the great comedian, Charlie Chaplin. The film was based on two families, the Hatfieldsand McCoys, in the 19th Century. Dr. McCaffrey is presently teaching at the University of North Dakota English Department in Grand Forks. Besides lecturing, Dr. Donald McCaffrey spent some time relaxing in pleasant conversation. One of the leading educational philosophers, Dr. Russell A. Peterson, was BJC’S fourth Visiting Scholar. Dr. Peterson’s address “Reaching Up to Touch Bottom”, was of much interest. Dr. Peterson has published several books and articles on education and philosophy. At the present time, Dr. Peterson is an instructor in the center for Teaching and Learning at UND. Jazz pianist Jaki Byard of New York has been involved in music for almost 45 years. On February 28, Jaki Byard presented a concert consisting of jazz performance and composition. Some of his pieces included works of Gunther Schuller, who has chosen Byard as member of the New England Conservatory of Music. A case in point where musical instruments can show artistic expression through sight as well as sound. Mr. Byard is an instructor at the New England Conservatory of Music. Novelist Ken Kesey wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.” Kesey and Wendell Berry held an informal discussion on March 17. BJC’s sixth and last Visiting Scholar for the year was Mr. Wesley McNair, Associate Professor of English and Art at Colby College, New Hampshire. Mr. McNair visited BJC on April 16, and gave lectures on images and attitudes of the history of American art, literature and culture. He also showed slides to art, history and English classes. Wendell Berry, poet, novelist, and essayist, teaches English at the University of Kentucky. GARRISON DIVERSION UNIT Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program Mr. Merle W. McMorrow, Chief of the Design Branch of the Bureau of Reclamation, is the author of the following article. Diversion of Missouri River water across the North Dakota prairies was first conceived nearly 85 years ago. This original plan has evolved into the multiple-purpose Garrison Diversion Unit. Its development is the key to economic growth in the area. The Garrison Diversion Unit is the Bureau of Reclamation’s largest multiple-purpose undertaking in the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program. The Initial Stage development of the Unit, authorized in a bill signed by President Johnson in August 1965, is designed to irrigate 250,000 acres of land in central and eastern North Dakota. Ultimate Stage development of the Unit would make possible irrigation of more than one million acres in North Dakota. The Unitwill have significant impact on the economy of North Dakota. In addition to bringing stabilized and diversified agriculture to 250,000 acres of fertile lands, the Initial Stage of the Unitwill supply municipal and industrial water for 14 towns and cities and four industrial areas, will enhance fish and wildlife resources at 36 major areas and numerous smaller areas, and will develop recreation opportunities at nine major water impoundments. Water for the Unitwill be diverted from the 23-million-acre- foot-capacity Lake Sakakawea (Garrison Reservoir) behind Garrison Dam, a Corps of Engineers’ structure on the main stem of the Missouri River in central North Dakota. Estimated annual diversions from the reservoir will total about 871.000 acre-feet. The Unit’s diversion system will extend from Lake Sakakawea to and including Lonetree Reservoir, a regulating impoundment on the headwaters of the Sheyenne River. Major features of the diversion system are: Snake Creek Pumping Plant No. 1, which will pump water from Lake Sakakawea into Audubon Lake (Snake Creek Reservoir), an arm of Lake Sakakawea; McClusky Canal, which will convey water from Audubon Lake to Lonetree Reservoir; and Lonetree Reservoir, which will store and regulate flows of the McClusky Canal for distribution to the areas to be served. The plan for the initial development includes irrigation in sdven North Dakota areas. The Lincoln Valley Area (6,515 acres) will obtain a water supply directly from the McClusky Canal. The Oakes Area (45,980 acres), LaMoure Section (13,350 acres), Warwick-McVille Area (47,220 acres), and New Rockford Area (20,935 acres) will obtain water diverted from Lonetree Reservoir into New Rockford Canal. The Karlsruhe Area (12,200 acres) and Middle Souris Area (103,800 acres) will receive Lonetree Reservoir water through the Velva Canal. Thirty-six major areas and a number of smaller ones on the Unit are to be developed for fish and wildlife purposes. One area, Johnson Lake, is a replacement for the Sheyenne Lake National Wildlife Refuge which will be inundated by Lonetree Reservoir. Those remaining are either for mitigation of damages to waterfowl habitat attributed to irrigation development, or for enhancement of fish and wildlife values. The recreation potential of the Unit is principally at major reservoirs and lakes. Recreation facilities are proposed by the National Park Service at Devils Lake, Stump Lake, Jamestown Reservoir, Lonetree Reservoir, Lake Brekken-Lake Holmes, Mission Bay-Spring Lake chain, and Taayer Reservoir. Recreational facilities have already been constructed at Jamestown Reservoir. Total construction costs of the Initial Stage of the Garrison Diversion Unit are estimated at $418,800,000 based on January 1974 prices. Cost allocations are to irrigation, municipal and industrial water, fish and wildlife, recreation, flood control, and power. About 86 percent of the costs of the Unit facilities will be returned to the United States Treasury, partly through repayment contracts with the water users and local recreation and fish and wildlife agencies, and partly from power revenues of the Missouri River Basin Project. Total annual benefits from the multiple-purpose development are estimated to exceed annual costs in the ratio of 2.82 to 1. North Dakota has sacrificeo many thousands of acres of good farmlands for Garrison Reservoir and other major storage sites on the Missouri River, and now will reap some of the rewards in the form of irrigated agriculture, recreation and fish and wildlife improvements, and municipal and industrial water for her towns and cities. The stabilized agricultural economy that will replace the old boom-and-bust days of dry-farmed wheat will spread its beneficial effects all over the Missouri's high plains region, and indirectly across the entire country. I think it will only bean assetto the North Dakotans if everyone has a use for it. The people that have no use for it will not benefit at all from it. I do think it will do the state some good. It is creating jobs right now, and later on it should be bringing in some good news for the farmer. THE COMMITTEE TO SAVE NORTH DAKOTA AND THE GARRISON DIVERSION ISSUE Mr. Richard Madsen, past president of the committee to save north dakota and now with the Audobon Society, wrote the following article. Formed in August of 1972, the committee to save north dakota, inc. represents a grass-roots coalition of North Dakotans from all walks of life—farmers, business- men, university professors, members of the clergy, students— who share a common concern over impacts of the Bureau of Reclamation's Garrison Diversion project on North Dakota’s human and natural resources. Though often referred to in the mediaasan “environmental group , the committee’s main activities have centered around the injustices committed by the Bureau of Reclamation against a number of family farmers whose land lay in the path of their draglines and bulldozers. The Reclamation official who haughtily told one such farmer, Ben Schatz of Regan, N.D., “Mr. Schatz, to us you’re just a dot on the map. When you get in the way we move you. — characterized the indifference Reclamation has shown toward individual landowners. In seeking justice for landowners who have not received fair treatment from Reclamation, and in attempting to find answers for questions pertaining to the environmental and economic impacts of the project, the committee has been forced to deal with a public and political sentiment in which the project was considered virtually sacred, with any who might question the project openly scorned. To those who would listen, the committee explained that while the original goals of the Garrison Diversion project were commendable, growing evidence indicated that many of those goals would not be realized through the project’s present plans, and that additional evidence strongly suggested that the net costs of the project would outweigh the benefits. In an attempt to force Reclamation to release full development plans and impact analysis for the project, the committee to save north dakota filed a lawsuit against the Bureau and the Department of the Interior in December of 1972. Information that the Bureau was thus forced to release indicated additional severe problems, including the international issue of polluted irrigation return flows entering Canada. In October of 1973 the Canadian Government officially requested the United States to place a construction moratorium on the project, a position still held by the Canadian Government. Substantial criticism of the project then followed from the U.S. State Department, Office of Management and Budget, Government Accounting Office. Environmental Protection Agency, and from the highest environmental position in the U.S. Government—the Council on Environmental Quality, which has twice requested that construction on the project be halted. Substantial as these criticisms are, however, within North Dakota political circles they have largely fallen on deaf ears, as the leadership of both major political parties continues to strongly support uninterrupted construction on the project. The committee believes that the actions of Senator Milton Young, Congressman Mark Andrews, and Governor Art Link have been very irresponsible on the issue. The committee has been particularly concerned with the indifference shown by Governor Link toward the problems of landowners affected by construction of the project, and believes that the Governor’s action on the case of Leo Reiser (a farmer losing his ntire farmstead to the project who was threatened by the Bureau after he discussed his problems with the news media) was nothing short of scandalous. The committee’s continuing major goal has been twofold: to seek a full construction moratorium on the project, and to seek an independent economic, social and environmental analysis of the projected impacts of the project. While the committee has not been able to obtain the construction moratorium as of this date, a major independent analysis of the project, recently financed and conducted through a grant from the Ford Foundation, concluded that economic costs of the project would outweigh benefits, social costs had been inadequately considered, and environmental impacts would be massive and severe. On the basis of these independent findings, the committee hopes to continue efforts within the educational process in North Dakota, as well as within various government agencies and committees in Washington. The committee presently views the Garrison Diversion issue as a race between public awareness and the bull dozers. With construction on the project yet less then 20% complete, csnd still believes there is time to halt construction, further evaluate projected impacts, and then decide if project construction should continue in the present form, be modified, or permanently stopped. The committee believes that land use planningand development are a one time thing, with any mistakes made during our time being paid for by future generations until the end of time. With the massive, and ever-more-harmful projected impact of the Garrison Diversion project, the committee believes a long second look at the project would be in order, for the sake of our generation, as well as those to come. STUDENTS RESPOND TO GARRISON DIVERSION In my opinion the Garrison Diversion will never pay for itself. It was not well planned and too much money was spent before the advantages or disadvantages were well known. The Garrison Diversion Project provides jobs for many North Dakotans. Earth slides known as slumps, such as this one south of Turtle Lake, caused time delays and additional costs. It wouldn’t be built if somebody couldn't benefit from it. But since I have not been paying attention to it I really don’t know anything about it. I don't know that much about Garrison Diversion, but if I were a Canadian I would be very concerned and I think North Dakotans who have planned and set this thing up are very ignorant on the subject. Garrison Diversion seems to be a large project, advantages to a few, but causing problems for many. I can't help but feel sorry for those farmers whose land is being torn up and who will see no water for irrigations. It was not well-planned and certainly warrants further study, especially in these times of rapid inflation. I don’t know very much about the Diversion Project. I have not been following the planning or progress and therefore not justified to comment one way or the other. But, I don't see anything wrong with the system we are now usi ng without digging up the country side and changing water levels, etc. Garrison Diversion is at a great expense to a lot of North Dakotans and a benefit of a choice few. I believe that it could not have been more poorly planned. The unjust treatment of farmers losing their land to the big “ditch’' is one of the biggest mistakes. Most opposition to the project is greatly justified. The heavy electric doors of this shut-off control gate regulate the flow of water in the canal. One farmer, Ben Schatz of Regan, expresses his sentiments on Bureau of Reclamation action. I think that Garrison Diversion is a big mess. Instead of being the Bureau of Reclamation, it is the Bureau of “Wreck the Nation”. 94 FOOD SERVICE STAFF The Supervisor of the Snack Bar and the Contract area is Lee Merkel, former owner of Lee’s Steak House.

BEHIND THE SCENES In the few minutes between songs, Music Director Stan Engebretson grabs a quick bite to eat. Director of Drama, Mrs. Jane Stewart gives some advice to the cast. Gigi” was about the 35th musical or play that she has directed. i no play would ever make it on the stage. Of course, being a stage hand does have its advantages. You can do more horsin' around and get away with itand those Midnight to 3 a.m. shifts are really something else. Probably the one thing that makes being a member of a stage crew entirely worthwhile is the pranks that are pulled on the cast. Things like Tabasco sauce on the backs of spoons and other minor things. No, once you’ve been on a stage crew you never really forget it and it’s an experience everyone should take part in at least once. Jane radiates a smile of approval as Dave VanVoorhis speaks his lines. You can never really appreciate what goes into the production of a play until you've actually worked backstage on the stage crew. People have a tendency to overlook the stage crew when they see a play. They know the actors put in a lot of time and effort, but what would any play be without the determined bodies who donate their talents towards the parts of set builders and designers, lighting and make-up artists, property managers, and all others who take on the title of “stage crew ? Without their combined blood, sweat, and determination, The dancers must continually practice to synchronize their kicks in the can can. While the stage crew works in the background, the cast practices their part for the upcoming production. 97 SELL-OUT PERFORMANCES RESULT IN HOLD-OVER FOR GIGI” “Gigi, a love story set in Paris 1901. was presented by the Music and Drama Departments February 19-23 in the Sidney J. Lee Auditorium. Originally scheduled for four days, sell-out performances caused it to be held over. Honore Lachailles tries to cheer up his nephew, Gaston Lachailles (Steve Brink), a playboy who has become bored with life in Paris. The tale of Gigi is based on a novella written by French novelist Collette in 1942. The musical version was written by lyricist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Fredrich Loewe. The two-act musical tells the story of Gaston Lachailles, played by Steve Brink, a wealthy young man bored by the world, who is Honore Lachailles, excellantly portrayed be Dave Van Voorhis, charms the audience with Thank Heaven for Little Girls” in the opening scene of the musical. captivated by Gigi, played by Audrey Romsaas, an exuberant young girl who becomesan intelligent young woman. The narration by Honore Lachailles, played by Dave Van Voorhis, the elderly bachelor uncle of Gaston, sets the atmosphere of the playboy life, a time of worry-free, pleasure- seeking people. Familiar songs performed by the lead roles included Thank Gigi, played by Audrey Romsaas, learns some valuable facts about precious stones from her Aunt Alicia, played by Deanna Hanson (SHOWN BELOW) and Kim Shaw in alternate performances. Gaston enjoyed Gigi's girlishness and often stopped by the apartment where Gigi lived with her mother and grandmother, Mamita. Gigi loved to beat Gaston at cards, and she usually did with the few extras she had hidden up her sleeve Heaven for Little Girls, The Night They Invented Champagne, I Remember It Well, and Gigi. Other roles were portrayed by Lynette Agee as Mamita. Kim Shaw and Deanna Hanson as Aunt Alicia in alternate performances, Steve Nicolai as Manuel, Tony Tello as DuFresne, and Brad Zietz as Duclos. Liane D’Exelmans was played by Patty Lillibridge and the receptionist by Tom Krebsbach. This time Gaston promised Gigi that if he did not win the game, he would take her to the beach at Treville, - and of course, she won. A playboy himself, Honore receives a note from a former lady friend who happened to see him at Treville. Deb Shaw, Malotte Strandemo, and Barb Stewart kick up their heels in the can can in Maxim’s, one of the richest restaurants in Paris. “Gigi was directed by Jane Stewart, with Stan Engebretson as music director, Mary Beth Keller, choreographer, and J. Michael McCormack, technical director. Also deserving recognition were Kelly Flegel, construction manager; Kevin Nathan, lighting technician; and Dave Pearce, stage manager and publicity. In the delightful Contract Scene, Mamita (Lynette Agee) and Aunt Alicia bargain with lawyers DuFresne (Tony Tello) and Duclos (Brad Zietz) about the financial conditions concerned when Gaston asks for Gigi’s hand. Gigi, now a mature young woman, consents to marry Gaston. And they lived happily ever after Gaston takes Gigi for a shaky ride on a bicycle built for two while at the beach at Treville. CHOIR CAPS YEAR WITH TRIP TO WINNIPEG Sandy Peterson turns pages in a difficult piece for the accompanist, Sue Nicolai. Steve Brink, Mark Butz. John Stober, Steve Nicolai, Darryl Schatz, Tony Tello, and Brad Zietz.

Selections from the program included Leonard Bernstein’s The Lark , a collection of ancient Stan is in one of his concentrating moments. Anybody want to buy a patron ticket? Can I get five stars by my name if I buy them all myself? Isn't there an easier way to earn money for tour? These are just a few of the many remarks and questions that could be heard in the choir room along with Stan Engebretson’s “Have these songs memorized for Monday. . .”, and “When are you people going to learn your German?

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL The Intramural basketball season started in January and ran through early April. The program was planned, organized, and directed by Gerald P. Horner and involved about 100 men divided into 12 teams. Games were played weekday evenings and the regular season games were followed by a tournament. There were many conflicts and problems in getting games played. Special kudos go to Gerald P. Horner, under whose direction the program ran smoothly. Basketball, whether intramural or varsity, requires grim determination on the part of the players. The results of the regular season found a real battle for the top spot with the Russian Roullettes winning the honors with a 6-1 record. They were followed closely by the Seymour Six+Three with a 5-1 record, the Dorm Rats at 7-2, the Blazers at 6-3, and the Hope Boys at 4-2. Other teams participating were the Hawks, Sparks, Knickers, Skyhawks, Linemen, Lone Rangers, and the Mechanic Class. The teams then went on into the tournament with the top ranked teams coming through to the semifinals, although there were some close games. The Russian Roullettes entered the semifinals with ease by beating the Skyhawks and Knickers by convincing margins. The second spot in the semifinals was taken by the Dorm Rats when they defeated another of the top teams, the Blazers, in the quarter finals by a score of 67-57. The Hope Boys flew through their first two games by pounding both the Lone Rangers and the Mechanic Class. The last spot in the semifinals was taken by the Seymour Six + Three, but in a real struggle. They slipped by the Sparks 57-55 in the quarter finals. The luck ran out for the Seymour Six+Three as they had to play the Hope Boys in the semifinals. The Hope Boys made Reed Ihry gives an order to another of The Hope Boys” while the opposition attempts a free throw.

The Mystics had a couple of strikes against them before the season started. One was the large turnover of players from last season. The team had only two returning lettermen, Brian Torvik and Jim Wenker, both guards, and one transfer student. Bismarck’s Mark Swanson, who attended Concordia of Moorhead. Minnesota last year, who had any college playing experience. The remaining ten players were all freshmen. All hands reach, but Mystic John Miller (43) has the upper hand. The second obstacle was the 1974-75 season was BJC's initial year in the NDCAC basketball conference. The NDCAC is a tough one consisting of five four-year colleges and one two-year school besides BJC. Dave Lawlor races to cut off Mary College Marauder Roger Klemish. Mark Swanson was named the North Dakota State Junior College Tournament’s Most Valuable Player. The Mystics' record of 2-10 in their first NDCAC season was not really a good indicator of how the Mystics performed. In many of the Mystics’ losses they were still very much in the game until the final gun. They had two losses to Minot State by four and six points and two losses to Wahpeton Science by seven points and four points and four points in overtime. Overall, Coach Bruce Meland’s Mystics finished the season with a 5-19 record. Included in that record were two crushing losses at the hands of crosstown rival Mary College. In those two meetings, the Mystics managed to stay with the Marauders throughout the first half, but each time Mary College pulled away in the second. Mary College took the Iron Chancellor Jugfor 1974-75 by scores of 93-78 and 95-74. During the season, the Mystics' freshmen matured and became a very valuable part of the college basketball team. Six of these players saw extensive action and near the end of the season at least four of them were on the floor almost 100% of the time. These six, who will be looked to next year, are Dave Lawlor, Dave Albrecht, Kelvin Carter, James Crudup, John Miller, and Perry Ford. The Mystics trail by ten points, but they make the Mary College Marauders work for the lead. Kelvin Carter (40) soars high for a tip in to narrow the gap in the score between BJC and Mary College. Mary College sets an ominous defense in anticipation of Dave Lawlor's in bounds pass. ( 115 Dave Lawlor, the Mystics center, averaged 11.7 points per game, third on the team, and pulled down 154 rebounds which was second highest for the Mystics. Dave also led in field goal percentage for the team this season with 53.4%. Kelvin Carter averaged 13.3 points per game which was second high for the Mystics. He also pulled down 113 rebounds and was second in assists with 45. Dave Albrecht led the Mystics in assists with 89 and also chipped in an 8.7 points per game scoring average. Although the freshmen really were great contributors, throughout the season sophomore Mark Swanson led the team in every category except field goal percentage and assists. The team captain, Mark led the team capably with a 23.7 points per game scoring average, 191 rebounds for 7.9 per game, and a 73.6% free The Mystics spring into action to rebound the ball after a Mary College free throw.

For his achievements, he was named the Mystics Most Valuable Player. Swanson also received acclaim away from BJC as he was named Bismarck Quarterback Club's Athlete of the Month, North Dakota State Junior College Tournament's MostValuable Player, NDCAC All- Conference first team, All-Region XIII Junior College first team, and honors as the NDCAC’s leading scorer with a 22.7 points per game average.

Jeff York of Valley City won first place in the No. 1 singles by defeating Al Jones of Dickinson. Terry Mees was third with a 6-4. 7-6 win over Mark Grushkowski of Jamestown. The victor in the No. 2 singles was Mark Conlin of Valley City who defeated Bill Peterson, Wahpeton. La Darana Mees placed third, defeating Gary Leinius of Dickinson, 3-6, 6-3, and 6-4. At practice before the Conference match, Mrs. Olsen advises some of the team members. The Top doubles team was Perry Ford and Clem Gerhardt, Bismarck who blasted Dan Horne and Bob Stevenson, Valley City, 6-1 and 6-2. The BJC Tennis Team, coached by Mrs. Nancy Olsen, dropped only one set the entire season. On team totals. Valley City placed first with 22 points, BJC was second with 16, Dickinson State had 10, and Wahpeton 4, while Jamestown, Minot and Mayville failed to score. The Mystics tallied four team points at the Region XIII Meet at Anoka, Minnesota, competing with teams from North Hennipin; Anoka - Ramsey; NDSSS; Gogebic, Michigan; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Rochester, Minnesota. 120 MYSTICS The Mystics Golf Team won its first North Dakota College Athletic Conference Championship title for BJC since reentering the league this year. The conference meet was held in Valley City. The team consisted of Dan Mischel, Eric King, Dave Albrecht. Dave Blair, and Brian Brevig and were coached by Ron Davy. Eric King of Oakes traveled to LaCrosse, Wisconsin for the Junior College Regionals. After the first day of play, the Mystics trailed Wahpeton Science by six strokes, but came back on the second day of play to win the meet by one stroke over Wahpeton Science and Jamestown. BJC had a four-team total of 506 strokes while Wahpeton Science and Jamestown each had totals of 507. Valley City State was fourth at 514 followed by Mayville State 520, Dickinson State 521, and Minot State 526. Brian Brevig of Bismarck was the medalist with a 36-hole total of 118, which was 10-over-par. Tom Posuliko of Jamestown trailed Brevig by a single stroke at 119 while another Jimmie, Larry Wohl, followed at 121. Dave Blair of BJC and Dave Bergan of Valley City State tied forfourth with a pair of 122s. Other Mystic wins were by Dave Albrecht with a 127 and Eric King 139. BJC performed very well considering they played in only one meet prior to the conference meet. All other meets had been canceled because of inclement weather. Brian Brevig and Eric King traveled to LaCrosse. Wisconsin for the Junior College Regionals to try to qualify for the national meet. Both failed to qualify, but they, as well as Dave Blair and Dave Albrecht, will be returning to BJC in the fall and will anxiously await the 1976 golf season. Medalist at the NDCAC meet was Brian Brevig of Bismarck, who finished with a 118. Tying for fourth place honors with a 122 at the conference meet was Dave Blair of Bismarck. 12 PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIOLOGY, AND PHILOSOPHY FACULTY According to Audrey Lantz, a psychology teacher, BJC's students are really great people to work with. She also finds BJC is a strong community college because of its academic and vocational programs and is well supported by the Bismarck community. She is a graduate of the Montana State College, from which she received her Bachelor of Science Degree and her Master of Education Degree. She has also attended the Brigham Young University, the University of Montana, and the Eastern Washington State College. She taught at Idaho Falls and was a counselor at the Dawson County High School in Glendive before coming to BJC five years ago. She has two children and three step- children who are all grown, married, and scattered to the four winds. Having a Bachelor of Science Degree from Dickinson State College, a Masters Degree in Education from UND, and twenty- one years of practical teaching experience at BJC certainly must help Ray Reid, a sociology teacher here. He also teaches Social Problems. “I think it is great , is how he compares BJC to other institutions of higher learning. Before coming here, he taught at Watford City and Fairview, Montana. He has four children. For the last four years Mr. Samih A. Ismir has taught psychology parttime at BJC. After all this time he has found BJC to be an outstanding college. Its size, academic excellence and general atmosphere is difficult to match in another college of this size. He is a graduate of Waldorf College, Forest City, Iowa, from which he has an Associate of Art Degree; a Bachelor of Arts from Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota; Th.M. from the Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota: and a Master of Arts Degree from Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. His family includes his wife. Donna Ruth; a daughter, Jody Sue; and son, Troy Anthony. With Philosophy, Logic, and Ethics as the subjects he teaches, Orville Stenerson has been quite busy at BJC for nine years. A graduate of Concordia College, from where he has a Bachelor of Arts Degree, he also has a Master of Arts Degree from UND. Before coming to BJC, he taught in Dodge for a year and in Hettinger for seven years. He is married and has two boys. Rev. Malmgren has taught Old and New Testament for two years at BJC. He is a graduate of Aurora College, Aurora, Illinois. He has a wife and three children. In comparing BJC to other schools, he finds this place of higher learning rates very high. 122 LINEMAN ELECTRICAL FACULTY Mr. Richard Rutschkealso instructs students in power line installation and maintenance under the Lineman Electrical program. He attended the North Dakota State School of Science. Before he began teaching at the school in 1973, Mr. Rutschke taught at the North Dakota REC’s Apprenticeship Training and Safety. One of the instructors at the Lineman Electrical School in Mandan is Mr. J. R. McLanahan. He attended the North Dakota State School of Science in Wahpeton and the Arizona Public Service School. Mr. McLanahan has been employed by BJC since 1972 and considers it a small school in comparison to other colleges. The Belcourt Lineman School is an extension of the Lineman Electrical School in Mandan. Instructing the thirteen students at Belcourt is Mr. Fred Shaw, who has been associated with that program since 1973. He enjoys his work and feels that he is treated fairly by the school system. Mr. Shaw graduated from Perham Public High School in Perham. Minnesota. He and his wife have two children. 123 MYSTICS TRACK The Mystics 1975 men’s track season was also their first year participating in the NDCAC. The tough competition BJC ran against proved to limit the team scoring and finishes. The lack of depth hurt the Mystics all season, both indoor and outdoor. The top team finish for the season would probably have to be the Mystics' fourth place finish at the NJCAA Region XIII Track and Field Meet which they hosted at Hughes Field on May 10th. Ralph Messer shows the strain in grueling Region XIII NJACC Competition. Tim Clausnitzer gets a good jump at the start of his specialty, the 880 yard dash. Although the Mystics lacked team strength, they had several individuals who had outstanding years. These individuals led the team throughout the season and claimed many school records along the way. The Mystics were coached by Ed Haschfe. Distance runner Darrel Anderson, who piled up many awards from the cross country season ih the fall, collected school records in practically every distance race on the agenda of events. On the indoor track he ran a 9:43.9 two mile, which is BJC’s indoor two mile record. He also recorded a 4:24.1 mile inside. This was not only the school record for the indoor mile, but the fastest mi le ever stepped off by a Mystic thinclad. Outdoors, Darrel never did reach top form because of a leg injury which forced him to sit out many late season races. Before any of this trouble, he did set the school record for the 3000-meter steeplechase with a time of 9:49.8. Most of Darrel's records were set in the indoor season. Another record setter for BJC was George Stroh who tied Mike Swanson from 1971 for the school mark in the 60-yard high hurdles indoor with a time of 8.3 seconds. Equipment manager Jim Cats” Kautzman and Coach Hasche record times at the NJCAA Region XIII meet. He also claimed the school record for the 50 yard high hurdles indoor at 6.9 seconds. Tim Clausnitzer and Tony Tello also had outstanding performances during the season, Clausnitzer claimed BJC's880 yard run record with his season best of 1:58.3, while Tello took the school’s indoor long jump record with a leap of 22’3 Vi”. Tello was also a fine sprinter matching the school's quickest 50 yard dash indoor at 5.5 seconds, which was first recorded by Gordie Smith in 1973. Tony’s best outdoor clockings were a 10.3 second 100 yard dash and 23.2 second 220 yard dash. Tony Tello goes with the starter’s gun to start a Mystic relay effort. :4 at the NJCAA nationals. Ted set the BJC record for the shotput indoors at 51'5’' and took third in the NJCAA National Indoor Meet with a throw of 5IT'. Outdoors this season, his best came in the NDCAC meet with a toss of 53' V2 . which was good for the Mystics only conference championship. Although that toss was not a BJC record outdoors. Ted already owned that record when he tallied a throw of 53'9 last year and took sixth in the NJCAA Nationals at 51'8 . Hausauer also set the Mystic standard for the discus with a throw of 144'4” and was almost always in the top three at the end of the competition in that event. In May, Darrel Anderson and Ted Hausauer traveled to Houston Texas to compete in the Outdoor National Junior College Track and Field championships. Hausauer captured third place when he tossed the shot put 53'7 W’ Anderson took 12th place in the two-mile Steeple chase. Ralph Messer rounds the corner in the middle of his competition. George Stroh comes back to earth after clearing a high hurdle. The BJC record for the Decathalon of 5870 points was set by Roger Mazurak at the NJCAA Region XIII meet. This total gave him the Region XIII Decathalon championship. Roger also took second in the Region XIII high jump competition with a jump of 6'0 The Mystics were paced throughout the season, however, by a weightman. Ted Hausauer, a three-sport letterman this year, was a consistent first place in the shotput for BJC. The only place Hausauer did not take first in was 125 MANAGEMENT FACULTY A graduate of UND, who now teaches Management, is James Wright. After being at BJC for three years, Mr. Wright compares BJC very highly to other schools. Previous to teaching at BJC he taught at Hettinger High School for five years. He and his wife have one child. Leslie Gullickson, a graduate of NDSU, has been a member of BJC's faculty for two years. He teaches Farm Management and has taught at Carson and New Salem, ND and Hawley, MN before coming here. He believes that BJC is a very fine school capable of serving the community needs of Bismarck and the surrounding area. He and his wife, Verlaine, have three daughters, Stephanie, Stacey, and Kristein. Teaching management, marketing, advertising, human relations, and golf is Mr. Ron Davy. A graduate from Minot State, from which he has a Bachelor of Arts Degree, and a Master of Education from UND, he finds BJC is excellent in many ways. He came to BJC four years ago. Previous to lhat time he taught at Minot and Sanish high schools and was also State Vocational Supervisor for a time. A wife and two boys make up his family. Having taught Adult Farm Management for only one year at BJC, Donavan Eck finds that BJC is a tremendous college and a great place to work. He is a graduate of North Dakota State University. He and his wife, Pat, have three children, Troy, Tracy, and Tate. 126 AGRI-BUSINESS FACULTY Anotherfaculty member involved with the instruction of Agri-Business students is Mr. Allen Dockter. Before coming to BJC five years ago he taught at a rural school in Sheridan County and taught Vocational Agriculture atGackle. He graduated from NDSU with a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree. I enjoy my work at BJC very much. Most students in Agri- Business have definite goals and this makes my job of teaching very easy, is what he replied when asked to compare BJC with other schools. He and his wife. Diane, have three children, Craig, Rhonda, and Jason. Completing his first year of teaching Agri-Business at BJC is Sam May. A graduate of NDSU, Mr. May finds he likes the community college concept of BJC and in comparing it with other schools finds it has an excellent choice of course offerings with a great staff and student body. Before coming here he taught vocational agriculture at Velva High School and also at Bottineau. He and his wife, Marne, have two children, Chad and Nicole. ■■■■■air Walking into the Agri-Business section of the Vo-Tech Center you’re likely to find Mr. Leonard Larshus. He has a Bachelor of Science degree from NDSU and a Master of Arts from Colorado State University. Before coming to BJC three years ago. Mr. Larshus taught at Bisbee and Stanley, North Dakota high schools. He has a wife and four children. BJC is a good school with great potential and has an outstanding future, according to Mr. A.P. Hahn. Mr. Hahn teaches vocational agriculture and adult farm management and has taught here for the past year. He graduated from the University of Wyoming and taught at some other schools before coming here. He and his wife. Evangeline, have one son, August. Joel C. Janke, a graduate of NDSU who teaches Agri-Business, finds BJC a very good school— with excellent faculty and students. He has only been teaching at BJC for one year having taught at Bismarck High School. He and his wife, Bev, have a son. Mike, and a daughter, Shari. GRADUATION 75 Lieutenant Governor Wayne Sanstead and BJC President Ralph Werner engage in conversation while waiting for the processional to begin. Mr. Sanstead was the featured speaker at BJC’s 35th Annual Commencement Exercises on May 16. The smile radiated by Mr. Eddie Agre, Dean of Students, characterizes the mood of the day. Deb Shaw was only one of over 300 students to receive a diploma, academic or vocational. As did the other graduates. Dale Preszler received his diploma from Bismarck School Board President, Col. Edgar Johnson. Barb Brodehl, Nancy Bourgois, and Dwight Bollinger contemplate their futures, having completed their education at BJC. As much a part of graduation as the diploma is the photography. The Organist was Mr. Stan Engebretson, Director of Choral Activities. A behind the scenes look at the tassle rip-off. 129 YEARBOOK TAKES ON NEW LOOK Producing a good yearbook is no doubt the aim of every staff when they start out. but I have worked on enough books to know that it is easy to get lost along the way. This book, NOUN, was a reverse of that. When we started this book, we didn't know where we were going, but we found ourselves along the way. When I first conceived the idea for this book at a yearbook workshop in the summer of 1974, I wasn't really sure what it would be like. Bev and I kicked ideas around for a couple of months and finally decided to set out. We worked at the book from September until after the Christmas Holidays before we realized in what direction we were headed. The first deadline really helped us get it together. We missed it entirely, but we knew the pressure was on and started to accomplish things. We lost a few staff members along the way. but those that saw it through were terrific. Much was demanded of each person since the staff was small, but they produced well. Everybody did a little of everything. The approach to the book, once we recognized it, was with emphasis on events, not people. The effects of many of the events of 1974-75 will be felt for quite a while and we felt we should find out as much about those happenings” as possible. Some of the book is history, such as the background stories about the Student Union and the Vo Tech building, but we felt that this was of interest and importance to those that use and pay for them. The current events we focused on were and are important to Americans. Nixon and Watergate left quite a mark in history and we felt it should leave a mark in the annual which isa history book. Other stories such as Garrison Diversion and Coal Gasification are. and will be, of importance to all North Dakotans. In asking guest writers to express their professional informed views, we were able to offer the reader both sides of the story and let him make his own decision. The student polls conducted let the students express their attitudes and opinions about the different events. The people we interviewed have been and are of importance to BJC and North Dakota. Mr. Harold Schafer hasdone much for BJC and we felt that more students should know something about him. Governor Link has, during his term, faced a number of decisions that affect all North Dakotans. The current issues that have confronted North Dakotans, and especially the lawmakers of North Dakota, are something completely new. The Governor, as the Chief Executive of the State, is very powerful and. therefore, needs to be a wise and cautious person. I think that the day I spent with him in writing and photographically recording a day of Governor Link made this evident to me. Sharon Boschee, Wishek, wrote and typed a lot of copy at yearbook meetings. We have in this book tried to produce a work of journalism that is ultimately a history text. That in itself is almost a contradiction, but hopefully we have succeeded. Good Journalism was our theme. The staff conducted interviews, collected information, and wrote copy to fulfill that criteria. The photography we decided was Owner of New Horizon Photography, Ken Jorgensen of Bismarck was yearbook photographer, photo editor, and layout designer. going to be candid and photo- journalistic in itsapproach. There were times when we doubted that we would finish the book. A missed deadline after a while has a way of becoming depressing the more you think about it. In a book like we have done, cooperation among the yearbook staff, the faculty, administration, student body, and the others we called upon is of prime importance. There were times we felt that the book would be completed in spite of others, not due to them. Missed deadlines have a way of creating panic which in turn fosters annoyance. This book, NOUN, is about people, places, and things, and that's what a noun is. We have attempted to produce a yearbook, a history book that is informative and honest, and that you can pick up in five, ten, or twenty years and remember what really happened, and possibly remember how things that are happening then began or were affected back in 1974 or 1975. - Ken Jorgensen no This year we have produced what we feel is a top-quality yearbook. We've covered everything about the people, places, and events (which is what a noun really is) of Bismarck Junior College. But the lives of BJC’s students are not centered around only the college. Their lives are extended into the community, an interaction with Bismarck’s citizens and professional and social activities. And in an even broader sense, BJCstudents are affected by what's happening on the state and national level. Now in a time when people of a college age bracket are more extensively involved in the world around them, I believe it is important that this also be included in a yearbook. Sports Editor Mark Wolitarsky, Turtle Lake, wrote sports articles and athletic picture captions. Off-campus events, as well as on- campus events, should be of importance to students. In years ahead, when looking back in the then ol’ 1974-75 Jay-Cee-An, it will be interesting to recall not only school days, but also the so-called current events and compare them to the events happening then. In bringing you a fall book rather than a spring book, we were able to cover events that would not ordinarily be presented, such as band and choir tours, track, golf, tennis, awards, and graduation. The final deadline for a spring book is usually in February, whereas, a fall book does not have to be in for publication until late May. This is not to make it easier on us in giving us more time to complete the book, but it is of benefit to you to find the entire year on record in your yearbook. In spite of seemingly continuous obstacles, we have compiled a book that is informative as well as interesting. We approach it with a journalistic mind, researching, interviewing, gathering and writing copy. The photographers kept busy capturing campus life and other important subjects on film. As a consequence of getting a late start and because there were so few of them, staff members had to work extra hard to get things together. Sherry Schmautz. Sharon Boschee, Sandy Peterson, Mark Wolitarsky, and George Berger all contributed a large amount of time as writers and or typists. Sandy Peterson and Pat O'Neill gave of their artistic abilities. Photographers Douglas Van Tassel and Ken Jorgensen deserve special thanks for all the time spent shooting and developing. Because of their dedication, we have top-rate photography in our book. Ken, a professional photographer, took time from his busy schedule, to not only shoot pictures, but also act as photo editor and page designer. Our advisor was Mrs. Assistant Editor Sandy Peterson of Litchville will edit the 1975-76 book. Richard Jackman, who was available whenever anything special was needed. Ron Jacobson, a Josten’s Yearbook representative, aided us with printing, color, endsheet, and cover specifications. Editor Bev Schock wrote and proofread copy and completed page paste-up, as well as supervising copy and photo assignments. Special kudos go to the guest writers who gave of their valuable time to contribute their knowledge on related subjects to our book. These people include Mr. Merle W. McMorrow of the Bureau of Reclamation; Mr. Richard Madsen, former President of The Committee to Save North Dakota: Mr. Michael Jacobs, free- lance journalist, magazine publisher, and writer; Mr. John Clement of the Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company: and Mr. Arthur A. Link, Governor of North Dakota. As a result of the efforts of all these people working together as a team, another issue of the Jay-Cee-An is published. And so we have produced a yearbook that is indeed a NOUN , a book about the students of Bismarck Junior College, the things that they are involved in or affected by, and the places they go. - Bev Schock INDEX OF BJC STUDENTS 1974-75 AAKER.

A lazy old horse stood chewing on the tall grass nearby. A commotion of cackling hens awoke the cat curled up by the barn door. Mary Turner came out the door with a basket of eggs. She ran to catch up with her brother Joshua who was lugginga bucket of water to the house. They entered the kitchen where Mrs. Turner was putting breakfast on the table. Mr. Turner joined them and they all sat down for breakfast. At the other end of the small house of the Turner family was a tiny bedroom. And in the bed lay a young boy about fourteen years old. The boy stirred in his sleep. Slowly his eyes opened but it was a moment before his mind began to function. Suddenly his eyes opened wide and he started to sit up. A sharp pain in his head forced him to drop back on the pillow. He tried to focus on something but the room spun around and around. The boy closed his eyes a minute. What’s wrong with me? he asked himself. When he opened his eyes again he saw he was in a small room—the door half closed so he couldn't see out. On one side of the bed was a chest of drawers, on the other side, a simple chair. He was covered with a fine patch-work quilt of many colors. He reached up to find that his head was bandaged. Where am I? he wondered. Whatam I doing here? What’s happened to my head? Very slowly he sat up on the edge of the bed. As the dizziness left him, the boy got up and walked to the door. He could hear voices now but he couldn’t tell what they were saying. He stepped into the next room. Nobody was there. There were several chairs and a fireplace in the cozy looking room. A smell of hot-cakes was in the air and the boy realized he was very hungry. He felt weak. His hands groped the wall as he headed for the voices in the adjoining room. When he stepped into the kitchen doorway the conversation suddenly stopped and all eyes were on the boy. Land sakes! He’s come out of it. Come in boy. Sit down. You're white as a sheet. Mrs. Turner led him to a chair at the table and talked on. You shouldn't have gotten out of bed. How do you feel?” Who are you?” the boy asked. What am I doing here?” Mr. Turner explained, Well boy. we found you by the roadside day before yesterday. You took a good knock on the head. We’ve been a might worried about you. What happened? Did you get in a fight with somebody?” I don’t know,” the boy replied. “Well, no matter, Mr. Turner said. We're just glad you're gonna be alright now. What's your name? I'm sure your folks are awful worried by now. I... I don’t know,” the boy stuttered. I don’t know where lam. Don’t know who. who I am.” “Listen boy.” Mrs. Turner said, You can tell us. Are you in some kinda trouble? We’re trying to help you. There's nothing to be afraid of.” Don't know,” the boy stated. I . I’m so hungry.” “Oh of course,” Mrs. Turner apologized. I’m sorry. Here you eat. You need strength.” She quickly fixed him a plate. He ate hungrily as the four sat watching with questioning faces. Joshua couldn't stand the silence. You do have a name, don’t you? he asked. What can we call you?” Hush Joshua,” Mrs. Turner scolded. Let the boy eat.” The boy ate his fill. He still felt weak. You look dizzy,” Mr. Turner commented. Let’s get you back to bed. The boy didn't argue. They helped him back to the little room and he was asleep in a couple minutes. Though the Turner family continued with their everyday work. Joshua spent all his spare time checking up on the strange boy with no name who was sleeping in his bed. He kept peeking into the bedroom anxiously waiting for the boy to wake up. It was late in the afternoon before the boy opened his eyes again. The minute he sat up in the bed Joshua was in the room. Hi!” he greeted the boy, I was afraid you weren’t gonna wake up for two days again. Was I really knocked out for two days?” Yup.” Mary heard the boys talking and came into the room. The three young people stared at each other in awkward silence. The room was filled with wonder. Finally the boy in the bed asked, What are your names?” Joshua retorted. We'll tell you ours, if you tell us your’s. Don't be mean,” his sister scolded. I'm Mary Turner and this is my brother Joshua. I’m fourteen and he's twelve. 138 The boy then tried to explain, I woke up today in this strange place. I don’t know where this place is. I don't know how I got here. I don’t know where I was. All I know is something happened to my head. And you people helped me. I really don’t know who I am. Do you believe me?” The two nodded their heads at this strange story. We’ll help you. Mary promised. I'll think of a name to call you.” Joshua volunteered. The boy felt so much better. He could see that they trusted him now and didn't believe that he was in some kinda trouble . Mr. and Mrs. Turner came into the bedroom now. Mrs. Turner asked how he felt. Much better. the boy replied. Mr. Turner sat on the edge of the bed. I went to town this morning and talked to Doc Simms. He was here the other day to look at you. He said that the best thing for you to do is to take it easy for a while and gradually you might start remembering things. “I know what we can call you! Joshua suddenly exclaimed. Travis.” “Yah that’s great,” Mary chimed in. “Travis would have been our older brother. He died when he was a tiny baby. “Okay T ravis, let's go get something to eat,” ordered Mr. T urner. It went without saying that Travis was welcome in the Turner home. Joshua took the cot from the storage room where he had been sleeping since T ravis arrived, and put it in the little bedroom next to the other bed. That night the two boys lay side by side talking long into the night. ”1 sure am glad you're here,” Joshua said. Mary’s alright but we get kinda tired of each other once in a while.” “Isn’t there anybody else living close by?” Travis asked. “Fetzers live a couple miles away. But they don’t have any kids, Joshua explained. There used to be a different family living there. They had a boy named Jim. He was the same age as me. We had a lot of fun together. We went fishing a lot. We made our own poles. I remember one time. I had a really big fish on my line. He was so big he broke off the end of my pole. And that Jim—he was always so quick in everything. He jumped right into the water and grabbed my line. Then I grabbed Jim by his shirt and pulled on him. We finally got that fish outa’ the water. And he was a nice one alright. Is there a river around here that you fished in?” T ravis asked. “It’s a stream that cuts through our land. I'll take you there. It's real pretty. One morning me and Jim saw a deer drinking from the stream. We sneaked closer and saw two tiny fawns playing in the grass. It was beautiful. Then all of a sudden the mother deer heard us. She jumped up and ran across the prairie as fast as a bullet. Even the little ones can run fast. Mary got pretty close to a deer once too. There's lots of animals around here. Once me and Jim found a baby racoon in the woods. Jim kept it in their barn for a couple weeks. Then one night he got out somehow and ran away. I think he liked the woods better. The two boys lay quiet for a while. Then Joshua said sleepily, “We had a favorite place on the other side of the hill. Called it “the rocks”. We went there a lot.” Joshua's eyes were closed now. Mine and Jim's place.” he said softly as he drifted off to sleep. Travis thought for a while about the rocks”, trying to imagine what the place might be like. Then he too fell asleep for the night. The next day Mrs. Turner took a small suit case from the chest of drawers. “This belongs to you T ravis.” she said. Mary, Joshua, and Travis rummaged through it together. There were some extra clothes in the case, a rusty old jacknife, a large feather, four shiney stones, a small black prayer book, and two strings of beads, none of which looked familiar to T ravis. Travis regained his strength as the days went on and he found the Turner farm a very exciting place. He helped Joshua tote water and Mary rob eggs from the chickens each morning. They helped Mr. Turner as much as they could in the fields and took turns riding the old plow-horse around the barn. Early in the morning they frolicked through the woods to go fishing and wading in the stream on the other side. At night they sat on the porch counting the stars while Mr. Turner played peaceful music on his harmonica. One day when Joshua and Travis were exploring in the woods they sat on a rock to talk. Last night,” Travis said, “I laid awake a while after you fell asleep. I saw myself running. I was afraid and running hard. I saw it real clearly in my mind.” Maybe you remembered something that happened to you before,” replied Joshua. Joshua, do you know the place where you and your father found me?” Sure I do. It's a couple miles down the road toward town. Will you take me there? Joshua agreed and they headed for the road. When they got to the place Joshua pointed out just where Travis was lying when they had found him. Travisgazed down the empty road. “This could be the same road that came to my thoughts last night. It looks the same. But then most roads do look alike. Travis let's go home, Josua urged. 139 They hurried back to the farm and found Mary waiting for them with a project. “Pa finished the fence and we get to build the gate.’’ she announced. Mr. Turner had built a long wooden fence across the front of the house with a stone path leading up'to the porch. Mrs. Turner planted flowers along the fence and around the porch. It needed only to be finished off with a splendid gateway. And splendid it was for the three young people worked hour after hour to ggt it just right. They set up two large posts which had to be dug deep into the ground to make them sturdy. Another post was fastened across the top of these two to form a grand archway. A gate was built under the arch. Not one piece of wood was attached without the approval of all three architects. Joshua and Travis hand carved a large handle for the gate. Mary hung a small flowerpot from the top of the arch and planted some seeds inside. Then for the finishing touch they each took Travis’ rusty old jack-knife and carved their names into the wooden gate. When they finally finished, Mr. and Mrs. Turner walked hand in hand through the gateway while Joshua, Travis, and Mary stood on the porch applauding. It was about a week after the gate was completed when T ravis overheard a conversation which upset his feeling of security he’d had with the Turners. He passed by the barn door and stopped to listen when he heard his name used. “But T ravis is happy here,” Mrs. Turner was saying. “I wish we could just leave it this way, replied her husband, “but he must have a family somewhere and we haven't tried very hard to find them. “I keep thinking. said Mrs. Turner, that he doesn't know his family so he won’t be happy with them. But surely they know and love him. “That’s right.” But what more can we do. We’ve told everyone we know. Nobody knows who he is. There are other ways—telegrams, letters. We can write to all the sheriffs in this territory. Travis went off by himself to think things out. I’m causing a lot of trouble for these people. Maybe my own parents are searching for me. And I don’t even try to find them. Who am I anyway? I’ve got to do something. The next couple days weren’t as carefree for Travis. Everything he did brought him back to the question, “Who am I? Finally one evening Travis decided to act. He laid awake in bed till he was sure everyone was asleep. Then he quietly dressed and packed his little suit case with all the same things that had been in it when he arrived plus a few other items he had come to own in the Turner household. Two of his shiney stones and the large feather he placed at the foot of Joshua's bed. He quietly slipped into Mary’s bedroom and put the two strings of colored beads at the foot of her bed. He stopped to look around at the room; at Mary sound asleep: and at the strings of beads on the floor. Suddenly the sight of a beautiful woman came to his mind. She was wearing the beads. Her hair was long and blond. And she was smiling. Travis felt a touch of warmth inside. Then just as quickly as she had entered his thoughts, the woman was gone. He tried to see her again but she was gone and the room seemed empty. Travis put one of the necklaces back into his suit case and hurried into the kitchen. The note he left on the table read, I went to find myself. Love, Travis.” He went back to the place where the Turners had found him. He stood on the road staring blindly one direction then the opposite. He started walking one way, then turned around and took off running furiously the other way. Travis ran till his legs ached and his side felt like it would burst. He finally stopped and slumped down in the grass by the side of the road. Where am I going? he asked himself as he rested. I don’t belong with the Turners. I've got to find out for myself where I really belong and why I left there in the first place. Travis trudged on and on wondering where this seemingly endless road would take him. The next day’s sun rose. The light didn't matter to T ravis. He still couldn't see where he was going. Suddenly he heard a horse coming behind him. He ran off the road and hid behind some trees. If Mr. Turner comes after me I won't go back with him, Travis promised to himself. But as the horse came closer he hoped it would be Mr. Turner. It was someone else and Travis tried to explain to himself: Mr. Turner can't come after me. He understands why I left. I can't go back. He wiped away a couple tears with his sleeve and hurried down the road. About an hour latera wagon turned onto the road behind Travis. Going to Waterville? the man in the wagon asked when he caught up with Travis. Yes sir.” T ravis answered. I'm going there to pick up some supplies. Hop in.” Thanks.” T ravis climbed on with the older man, apparently a rancher. It felt so good to T ravis to sit and let the horses do the work. But the rancher started asking very uncomfortable questions. Where are you from? What's your name? Where are you going?” Travis made up a name and said he lived on a little farm down the road. He wasgoing to visit relatives near Waterville. The rancher had never heard of the name before and he knew everybody in this territory. T ravis just kept quiet, wishing the man would too. The rancher talked on about a neighbor’s boy who ran away and got into a lot of trouble. It was mid-afternoon when they finally reached Waterville. The rancher stopped in front of the general store. Wait here, he almost ordered. I’ll get us something to eat. The rancher disappeared around the corner of the store. 140 By now Travis was hungry but he didn’t care to eat with this man. There was a pile of wooden crates in an alley by the store. Travis hid behind them. It was only a minute before the rancher returned. But he didn’t bring food. He brought the sheriff. “That little runt!” the rancher shouted. Now he ran away from me!” “You say you don’t know who he is? the sheriff asked. “Never saw him before but I know he’s a runaway that's gonna end up in trouble.” “Aint much I coulda done with him. I’m sure he wouldn’t tell me who he is. And his folks are probably hundreds a' miles from here.” The rancher went into the general store to do his business. The sheriff walked by the alley a couple feet from Travis and went on down the street. Hundreds a’ miles, T ravis whispered into the crate. He hurried through the alley tripping over someone’s feet as he came around the corner of a building. Hey! You all right boy?” “Yah. Travis assured the man as he quickly got back on his feet. The man was sitting on the ground leaning against the back of the building. It looked to Travis as if he had just awakened. He was very short and about sixty years old. He wore tattered dirty clothes and gray whiskers covered his face. “Sorry 'bout that Mr., Travis apologized. “Oh I’m sorry my big feet was in yer way. Where ya headed in such a hurry?” He pointed to T ravis’ suit case. Looks like yer leavin’ town.” “Yah that’s right. Travis replied. “Just goin down the road. “Hey yer not goin t' Junction City by any chance are ya?” Travis quickly decided and answered yes”. Would ya mind having company? the man asked. “I'm headed that way too. I'm plannin’ on catchin the train there to go west. It sounded great to Travis. Now he’d have someone to follow who knew where he was going. The man picked up a shabby old coat that lay beside him and they left Waterville on foot. The man introduced himself as Matt. The road led them through flat prairie country. The air was warm with a slight breeze that barely even moved the tall grass. Matt was a very talkative fellow and by evening Travis knew his whole life story. “Yah, Matt recounted, “we was poor alright. Why, with fourteen kids, I was lucky if I found a spot on one a' the beds at night. My older sisters bossed me around and the younger ones I got stuck takin' care of. Why if it wasn't one yellin’ orders at ya, it was another wailin’ fer attention. No peace. Matt reached into his coat pocket for his bottle of whiskey and took a few swollows. “No peace at all.” he repeated smacking his lips. “Soon's I got old nuff t' fend fer myself I got out a' that racket. Found myself a job workin’ stableboy. Why I was so good with horses some big rancher come ’long an hired me right off. Well it took a lot a’ hard work an sweat but I made it t’ be his foreman. After some years I bought a piece a' his land and started farmin’. My farm was small at first, but the crops was good. I got inta' the money boy an it didn't take long ’fore I bought off mosta’ that ol' rancher’s land. I hit it big an those people—they looked up t' me. I was the boss man.” Again he interrupted his story for a gulp of the whiskey. “Then one day the most dreadful thing could happen t' a soul, happened t’ me. B’fore anybody seen it cornin’ a wretched fire tore through my place rippin’ an roarin', an left it all t’ ruin.” For some reason the sad fate of this old man didn't move Travis. He didn't believe the story at all. As the sun lowered to the west Travis was getting very tired and weak. I'm so hungry.” he remarked to Matt. Me too. There’s another farmhouse up ahead. We'll stop and eat there, Matt assured Travis. Travis was wondering if Matt had any money to buy food as they reached the farm door. A middle-aged woman answered their knock. Matt removed his ragged hat revealing the bald spot at the top of his head. “Mam, he said very softly, my son and I have by some misfortune, lost our horses and some supplies. We've been on foot all day. My son is very hungry. Right son?” He put his hand on Travis' shoulder. Travis was shocked by this story. He stepped aside so Matt’s hand dropped. He didn’t know what to answer. Before he could open his mouth though. Matt asked, “Could you kindly spare us a bite to eat? We have a long journey ahead of us.” “My gracious me. the woman exclaimed sympathetically. Come in. Come in. Don’t you worry none. You can rest now. Sit down here.” She ushered them to a small table in the kitchen and soon had a good hot meal in front of them. A little girl crawled onto a chair on the other side of the table and stared at them as they gobbled down the meal. When the man of the house, Mr. Warren came home, he offered to let them spend the night in the barn. They stretched out in the hay in the barn and after Matt had some more of his whiskey, he began telling his life story all over again. Before Matt said very much though, Travis was asleep. When Travis awoke the next morning he was eager to move on but Matt was still sound asleep. Feeling guilty about the lies Matt had told, Travis decided to do something to repay the Warrens for the meal and the use of their barn. He found some brushes hanging on the wall and brushed down the two horses that were standing in the stalls. “Beautiful! Travis stated proudly when he finished. He ran his hand down the neck of one horse. “Now you are truly beautiful in your shiney coat—soft as a newborn foal.” He pictured in his mind a small horse. Newborn foal. he repeated trying to recall where he had known a little horse. The image left him. Then he took a shovel and broom and cleaned the whole floor. By the time Matt woke up the sun was blazing hot. But they were saved from the hot walk into Junction City as Mr. Warren decided to take his wagon-to town. Before they left Mrs. Warren served another meal and packed the unfortunate “father and son a sack of food. It was over half a day’s ride to Junction City. The city was a good sized railroad town with lots of people on the streets. Travis and Matt thanked Mr. Warren and climbed down from his wagon. “Well, where ya goin from here?” Matt asked. “Anywhere,” replied Travis. It doesn't matter much which way I go from here.” How ’bout going with me?” Matt suggested. “I’d like to, but I don't have money to get a train ticket. “No need t' worry 'bout that, Matt promised. “Meet me back here in about an hour.” And Matt disappeared into a saloon. Travis roamed the streets and looked around inside a couple stores. He kept watching people to see if anyone would recognize him. But nobody paid any special attention to him. The townspeople were used to having strangers around because of the railroad going through. An hour later Travis returned to the saloon. He waited quite a while before Matt came out. Matt was in a good mood as they headed for the railroad station. They turned before they reached the station and went down to some trees close to the tracks. We better hurry up,” T ravis urged. “The passengers are gettin on already.” Stay back behind these trees a minute yet,” Matt ordered. “And when I start runnin you follow right behind me.” Just as the train started up Matt and Travis ran up to a boxcar. The train began moving slowly. Matt heaved the door opened and jumped in. Travis threw his suit case in and jumped up as the train picked up speed. They slid the door shut again and dropped to the floor to catch their breath. Travis' heart pounded as he looked around in the dark, empty boxcar. Matt crawled into a corner to make himself more comfortable. You see boy,” he stated proudly, “you don’t have to pay t’ ride a train. And his sly laugh burned through Travis' ears. Travis felt a sudden hate toward this half drunken old man. I've heard a laugh like his somewhere before, T ravis thought. And I hate it. T ravis sat in the opposite corner of the boxcar and ate an apple from the sack Mrs. Warren had given them. Matt wasn’t hungry. He was starting in on a new bottle he had picked up in the saloon. Travis opened his suit case and fumbled through the things inside trying to bring out some of his past that was strangely trapped in the back of his mind. The whistle Mr. Turner had made for him and the fancy button Mary had given him were very real and meaningful to him. He rubbed the silver button on his sleeve till the flowery design indented in the metal shone—even in the dim light of the boxcar. He started daydreaming about the things he had done with the Turners. Vivid and beautiful images came to his mind. He thought of the day he, Mary, and Joshua ate lunch out on the limb of a huge tree in the woods. He thought of the time they drew pictures in the sand. And of the day they caught a mouse in the barn and then let him go. A feeling of loneliness swept through him and he quickly shifted his attention to the other things in the suit case. There were the two shiney stones, the string of beads, the rusty old jacknife, and the small black prayer book. Travis started paging through the prayer book. It was too dark in the boxcar to read the words so he walked over to the door and held the book in the light coming through the crack between the two doors. He began reading, “Come Thou oh Prince of the Heavenly Host. By the power of Your might cleanse us from our sins.” Suddenly the train jerked. T ravis lost his balance and the book flew to the end of the car. Matt laughed as Travis got his book and sat down by the doors. Pages were bent and the cover was torn halfways off. Someone’s put a new cover on this old book. Travis noticed. The last page which had been glued to the back cover was now coming loose and he saw some writing under it. He pulled the two apart. Hand written in ink it said “Saint Michael's”. And under that Jackson”. “Hey Matt, Travis asked excitedly, Do you know anybody by the name a’ Jackson?” Nope, replied Matt. “All’s I know’s the town.” What town? Travis asked. There's a city along this railroad that’s called Jackson.” How far is it?” It's a longways yet. So Travis set Jackson as his destination—whatever or wherever that was. Day after day they freeloaded in the boxcar. It became their home stopping for short times in towns along the way. They didn't dare get out of the boxcar too often on these stops or someone was bound to see them. But when their sack of food was empty they had to get off to eat. Matt kept using the same trick he had used to get a meal from the Warrens. And it usually worked. Even people who didn't believe the story of “losing the horses and walking miles to 142 town”, would feed them any way. They felt sorry for young Travis. Travis always tried to repay the people by doing some chore. He didn’t like freeloading on the train and lying for food but it was the only way he could see to get to Jackson. Somehow Matt managed to slip into a saloon often enough so that he always had a bottle in his pocket. Some days he really went to it and got so drunk he couldn’t stand up. His talk was senseless and Travis was sick of listening to it. Each day Travis felt more and more that he had once known someone like Matt. He could almost see the man in his mind—different in appearance but much the same in character. His feelings toward Matt became bitter. Within the confines of the boxcar he stayed as far as he could from Matt and seldom spoke to him. The senseless jabbering he tried to ignore. Finally one day the train stopped at a small railway station and as usual Matt and Travis looked out through the crack between the doors. “This is it,” Matt stated. Jackson’s about five miles from here.” “Really? Travis had waited so long he couldn't believe he’d finally made it. That is, if Matt knew what he was talking about. Travis grabbed his things and shoved the door opened. Goodbye” was all they said to each other as Travis jumped off the train. He ran to hide behind an old shed where he watched the train till it was out of sight. Travis sneaked around the back of the stationhouse. Out in front he could see a sign. Right at the top was an arrow pointing out the direction to Jackson. T ravis took off running down that road. The road was lined on both sides by thick woods. He soon slowed down to enjoy the walk through the overhanging trees. Travis came to the edge of the town as the evening grew darker. He stopped a moment, not knowing what to do next. Suddenly he saw someone coming toward him. It was a boy about his own age. “Michael! the boy exclaimed stopping in his tracks. Where have you been all this time?” Down the road, T ravis stated matter-of-factly. The whole town's been wondering what happened to you. The last place anybody saw you was in the graveyard. And some a’ the guys started makin' up spooky stories about spirits cornin' out a' the graves an' takin' you away. The boys stood staring at each other in silence, both of them wanting an explanation. Suddenly the boy remembered he was late getting home. “I better git goin', he decided, or Pa'll tan my hide. He started down the road, then stopped. Where are you going now? he asked Travis. Ah, I'll be around. The boy disappeared into the darkness. Michael, Travis whispered, “Joshua wouldn't like that. So Travis walked along the empty streets of Jackson. He searched the outskirts of the town by moonlight till he came across the graveyard. The eerie feeling of the place was almost unbearable but Travis walked up and down the aisles formed by the even rows of gravestones. He slowed down as he passed a particular grave. There was something special about this one. Engraved in the white stone marker were the words: Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. Mrs. Maria White Born-Jan. 1834, Died-July 1870.” Standing guard on each side of the marker were two angels carved in white stone. Travis envisioned people standing around this gravesite. There were a few ladies and an older man. A priest was reading from a large book. Lord look down upon your humble servants . . He saw himself kneeling next to the grave. Suddenly Travis dropped to his knees. Ma! he gasped. Ma, why did you have to die? Tears streamed down his cheeks. Piece by piece, memories assembled in Travis' mind. Things began to make sense to him. The boy he had met coming into town tonight was a schoolmate. The beautiful woman wearing the beads was his mother. He thought about the day his mother stayed in bed because she wasn't feeling well. And how she got worse and worse. The fever hit her hard. He did everything he could to help her. The doctor couldn't do any more and she died. He remembered listening to the ladies talking after the funeral. Poor Michael, they would say. what will become of him. Word had been sent to his father. He thought of his father and then of Matt. He remembered one night when he was only eight years old. His father came home drunk and beat his mother. So they had packed their things and went to Jackson. A couple times his father came to Jackson—usually drunk and wanting money. The evening after his mother’s funeral Travis packed his suit case. He took what money was in the house and walked to the railway station. Early the next morning, before anyone noticed his absence, he bought a ticket and got on the train. He was on the train for a week or two and finally got off in Junction City. From there he walked in search of some kind of a job—maybe on a ranch. Then one morning as he was walking alonga man rode up to him and jumped off the horse. He was a short man about thirty years old. He kept one eye half squinted and his mustache pointed downward. You got any money on ya? his gruff voice asked. No,” Travis answered nervously. Don't lie t' me boy! Travis took off running, but the angry man soon caught up with him. Travis fought back till the man grabbed a rifle and swung it at his head. He couldn't duck fast enough. The next thing he knew, he was lying in the bed in the Turner house. Now T ravis’ mind was clear again. He got up from the grave and went back into the town. It was now late in the night and there was nobody on the streets. He walked along refreshing his memory more. The small ■ white house behind the dress shop was where he and his mother had lived. He looked in a window. The moon shone in between the curtains and he could see into the living room. The furniture was all different. He scanned the wall for his mother’s painting of the newborn foal. It was no longer there. This isn’t my home anymore. Travis told himself. Through the darkness, Travis followed the road back to the railroad station. He arrived there before the sun rose and pounded on the door. Tom Maguire, the seventy-year-old, white-haired, stationmaster, was half asleep when he opened the door. ’’Michael! he hollared. Tom!” Travis yelled. They shook hands heartily and were talking full speed before they got back into the building. T ravis had spent many adventuresome days in the woods around the railway station. He often watched the trains come and go, and helped Tom with his duties. Tom cherished the youth's companionship and they became very close friends. The night of his mother’s funeral, Tom sold him the train ticket and helped him get away. The next day he told the townspeople he hadn’t seen Michael. Now Travis related to Tom all that had happened since he got on the train that night. When Travis finished his story. Tom related how Mr. White had come to Jackson about ten days after the funeral looking for his son. He created quite an uproar at first but after the sale of the little white house, he put the money in his pockets and left town very happy. Travis spent that day and night with Tom. Before he went to bed that night he told Tom, I don't know how I'll get there, but I’m going back to the Turner’s as soon as I can.” The next morning Tom gave T ravis the money and put him on the train. He was so weary of travel that the days seemed endless as he sat gazing out the train window. He stayed on the train till he reached Junction City, then took the stage to Waterville. From there he walked back to the Turner farm. It was late in the evening and quite dark when Travis came to the farmhouse. Mr. Turner was alone on the porch blowing softly into his harmonica. As Travis approached the fancy gate he noticed a little flower growing in the flowerpot Mary had hung from the arch. He read the three names carved on the gate. As he pushed the gate opened the harmonica music stopped. “Travis! Mr. Turner yelled. Before he could get down the porch stairs Mrs. Turner, Mary, and Joshua rushed past him in their night clothes. They all crowded around Travis and there was much hugging and kissing. Where were you?” they all asked him. So Travis explained, I went back to my home and found it buried in the cemetary with my mother. My name is Michael J. White but please, please call me Travis.” “Travis, don’t you ever go runnin off again. ” Mrs.Turner was saying as they led him into the house. LOIS BRANDNER ANOTHER SATURDAY It was just another Saturday. Mom was yelling, Lois, get up you've only got a half hour to get ready. Her words climbed the stairs to my room. I rolled over; I hate to get up. I felt so warm all snuggled in under the blue quilt. My grandmother had made it as a wedding gift for my parents, twenty-six years ago. My eyes gazed out the west window of my bedroom. Snow was piled in our yard. The windmill glistened with frost. Dad was sweeping the sidewalk, I heard the rhythmic swish, swish of the brown wisk broom. The door slammed. Mom, are the kids up?” Dad hollered. Ya, I'm up. I said, as I rolled out of bed onto the cold floor. I pulled on some slippers and bounded downstairs to the bathroom. Lois, here's some juice and toast for you. You better snap to it if we're going to make it to town by a quarter to ten. I've got to dress Carrie yet.” Mom said while hurrying my five-year-old niece, Carrie, with her breakfast. We made it to Doylesburg by 9:50 for my Confirmation lesson. Pastor Frederickson greeted me, Glad to see you back, Lois. Your Dad told me Wednesday night that you’d been at home with a sore throat. How are you feeling?” Oh, pretty good. I answered. I was trying to remember why Dad had seen pastor Wednesday. Oh, yes, a group of men had done some refinishing of the pews. After confirmation classes I went to the drugstore to buy a box of candy for Mom and Dad. Tomorrow was Valentine's Day. I picked a large red-heart shaped box of Russell Stover chocolates and a couple of Valentine cards. Carrie would love the card with the pink kangaroo and I could see Dad popping chocolate after chocolate into his mouth. I'd give them their gifts after Sunday dinner. I watched for our 1967 light blue Fury III. Dad turned the corner; the exhaust made funny curly designs in the air. I jumped into the car and Dad asked, How was confirmation? O.K.” I answered. Carrie asked, What did you buy, Loey? Some candy?” “No, some other stuff.” I stuck the wrapped box behind me. How many times had I traveled those thirteen miles to and from Doylesburg in my fourteen years? I was tired and the trip seemed to take forever. The ditches were filled with snow drifts five feet high. The groceries smelled good; my nose picked up the scent of fresh bakery doughnuts and long johns. Dad pulled over to the side of the road, reached in our red, white and blue mailbox. Nothing important, just the paper. Dad threw it towards Mom and rolled up the window as we cruised the quarter mile to our farmyard. Mom whipped up one of her fast lunches. Today it consisted of home canned sausage, orange colby cheese, bakery rolls and coffee. For some reason today everything smelled and tasted ten times better than usual. Even Dad commented, Lea, this is the best sausage we’ve ever made. Did you write the recipe down so we can use it again next year?” Ya. but it's the same one we've used every year,” my Mom replied. The whold lunch conversation was spoken in German, except when my Dad spoke to my niece or when she or I spoke. Hey. Larry's getting sheep. I think I’ll buy some too. I'll let 'em in the fence by the corral. They can eat up all the weeds. Then you girls won't have to work so hard keeping the yard clean. And Carrie, the first sheep born will be yours and Lois’.” Dad was always planning. Carrie's blue eyes lit up and her light brown curls shook. Oh, really. Daddy, really. Mom and I just sat back and laughed inwardly. Carrie and Dad usually had their own little conversations. I don't think my sister’s illegitimate child could have received more love from anyone than my father, her grandfather. “Ya. I think I better get going. I'm going to throw some extra feed into the barn so I won't have so much to do tomorrow. Dad always announces every detail of his activities. Mom and I got after the housecleaning while Carrie took a nap. I cleaned our picture window in the living room rather dreamily. We had so much snow in our yard that my father used our huge white work horse, Spot, to pull the manure sled instead of the tractor. I watched Dad hitch the horse to the sled. Spot was being a little onery. I chuckled as I saw my father's steaming breath. I could just imagine the obscenities roaring from his mouth. Dad saw me and waved, his huge raw mitten snapped back and forth across his smiling face. It was four-thirty in the afternoon. My sister would be coming home from work soon. Mom and I had finished scrubbing the kitchen floor. Mom glanced at the kitchen clock, Say, Lois, go check if Dad needs any help. You better dress warm, don’t want you to get sick again. I went upstairs to my room, put on my snow boots. I was in no hurry to go out checking up on anyone in that smelly barn. Outside now I called for my big black German Shepard-Collie, Bingo, Bingo. That's funny, I wonder what he's up to. The barn was only about 60 yards from our house. The snow around the barn was discolored with manure and straw was scattered all around the barn entrance. I pulled open the big white door. The brown jerseys started to bellow as I stuck my head in the door. Bingo, what's your problem? Why didn't you come when I called? I asked the sad dog. Not even a greeting bark. What are you trying to cover up? He was pacing back and forth near the stall where we kept the newborn calves. My eyes dropped to the floor, a pair of manure covered black overboots met them. My father was lying face down in the barn gutter, his arms sprawled under a brown cow. Oh. my God, what had happened? I knelt beside the body. He was cold. His face was covered with cow dung and he was blue. “Daddy, Daddy,” I heard my voice echoing through the barn. I raced back to the house. Tears stung my eyes and I tasted bitter saltiness. 5 5jc 5'fi jjt An hour later I gazed out the picture window. I heard my mother sobbing. Pastor Frederickson had his arms around her; tears were welling up in his eyes. Carrie was hysterical, crying, Daddy, Oh my daddy. I want to die. My aunt was holding her in a rocking chair. Two men were holding up my sister, Jenny, as they brought her across the high snow banks to the house. Near the barn I saw a stretcher with a black blanket covering a body. Two men were carrying it across the yard to an ambulance. The blanket covered the face of my father. The flaming orange sun was setting on another Saturday. 146 DEBORAH DEWALT To My Carouser Celebration!

Then I let the wind of wisdom whisper in my ear And I hear it say, Peace.” There were times when I was very happy very me like when I looked back and caught his smile There were times when I was very content very me like when warm fingers ran up and down my back rubbing it into relaxation There were times when I was very peaceful very me like when I laid back on his shoulder There are times when I am very sad. very depressed very lonely this is also very me like when I look back on all that has past and I think that all is behind me, that little is before me, and when I sit in the corner with my face to the wall. You ask me, Where have you been?” I have no answer. KELLY FLEGEL An Idea of North Dakota The story you are about to read is not true. I believe North Dakota is a great state, and I want to drive everyone else out of it, so I can have it all for myself. So, on to.. . Thoughts on a Cold Winter Morning I awake by some impulse that says. You'd better start moving or you are going to freeze to death. I awake and find that the impulse is quite correct. I poke my nose out from under the covers and slowly inhale the first tingly breath of oh! so cold air. It rushes into my lungs and chills my entire body. I exhale and see white crystals as they fall to my snow covered bed. I pull my head back under the covers and feel an incessant pain at my feet. At this point I realize that I must sacrifice either my head which carries four of my senses, or save my toes, which, at this time, convince me that all that they sense is cold and are worth saving. At once I become the fastest unstripper in the world. Not by profession, but by necessity. I put on two pairs of long underwear for scientific insulation. It’s something about the two layers trapping the warm air from the body and forming an excellent cold barrier. My question is where am I going to find a warm body? I’ve often heard stories of the pioneer mothers sewing their pioneer children into their little red pioneer woolies in the fall and by the time spring arrived, they could take off their clothes and they’d have the first sunburn in the school??? I force my body into as many socks and sweaters as I can make my popsicle-stick fingers manipulate over my ice block back. (If you think the last few sentences were over exaggerated. I'm afraid any North Dakotan will vote nayand more likely flunk me for understatement.) I cross the room to the stairs and find an overnight glacier has developed. Not to worry! My pants have already frozen, so it's just a simple matter to fall the right direction and “ 'cold’ dog down the stairs and around the corner crashing into the wall which fortunately breaks the one-inch ice layer that has taken half a page to develop. Picking my no-need-to-say-cold body up, I remember the saying of the sage, my uncle: To avoid getting rained on, jump in the lake.” Well, if that works, perhaps it would work for cold, too. So into the refrigerator I climb. I close the door behind me and ... and ... Find warmth. I could not really believe this, but why flaunt it? I curl up between the left-over green beans, pull a bowl of salad under my head for a pillow, and since it was so warm, poo-pooh the idea of trying to find a blanket among last night’s broccoli and tomorrow’s spinach and simply lay out my body for a nice, warm nap. I awake, possibly some hours later, and decide to venture out to see if the cruel, cruel world was still cruel, or simply mediocre and out to get me. I would decide, but not before a little snack—and possibly, my last meal. I pick up a few pieces of bread, spread a little butter with a carrot stick and proceed to construct, yes, constructa Dagwood Sandwich. As I reach for a little roast beef, I think of the predicament that possibly awaits me outside the refrigerator door. Throwing on a little mustard, my thoughts go back, way back. When I was born, the outside temperature was 20 degrees below zero. From personal experience I know babies come into a cold world. The future shall tell if it's cold and cruel. Lord help us all if the cruel is as cruel as the cold is cold! Oh, well, back to my snowbound train of thought. I've heard of people coming to North Dakota and plugging their head-bolt heaters in when it was thirty above. Now, get this—thirty above zero! I wonder what they did when it got cold? The most famous spell of weather (I use the term spell” very loosely for it does not apply to North Dakota, because, as the old saying goes, If you don't like the weather in North Dakota, wait a minute.”) was the famous blizzard of 1966. I, a born North Dakotan, do not term this a blizzard. Perhaps because lama North Dakotan, I set my requirements for such a storm much higher. The “blizzard lasted for three days. This included umpteen feet of snow that was blown around by a breeze of one-hundred miles an hour. If it had been sixty degrees colder, I may have classified it as a blizzard belonging to North Dakota. (Although it took a week to dig out of the picnic-weather results, if it had been a full-fledged, uncensored, and real North Dakota Blizzard, they could have canceled North Dakota for the rest of eternity.) As I prepare to step out of the refrigerator, I must say this about North Dakota's fiercesome weather, grasshopper plagues, Indian raids—it’s all true! Oh, well, it keeps the riff-raff out. I leave you with one last word to the unwary. DON’T PUT YOUR TONGUE ON THE PUMP HAND TONIGHT! If I still believed in the Easter Bunny, Ghosts, goblins and Santa Claus, Then maybe I would believe you, KEN JORGENSEN But I haven't gotten anything in my stocking for years And it hasn’t been because Of something I happened to do. Morning Meditations The plants in their red pots sit in the cold, wilted and shriveled and begin to look as old as the couple they belong to. The old man’s helpless eyes watch, they float in circles, the old woman sitting in front of him in a chair wailing it’s not fair, it’s not fair, no one cares , people go by, some stop to stare. The men come out again with a box, a dresser, a portrait, the old man finds himself and pleads, wait, please wait, just another day but his plea is drowned by the sound of falling snowflakes, and the men go away. “It’s not their fault, they were told, there is nothing that they can do.” A passer by sees the flowers as the men come out with the bed, another man stops, looks, and then as he shakes his head adds, they're dead”. And now I’ve come to realize That life has no significance, And that my once self-seeking drive Is only a chain of chaotic events. So now I doubt all that man has done, And all that he has said, For he has shattered all our goals And left the unbelievers for dead. I took her picture with my camera Capturing the moment” Thinking I had triumphed. Never again would I wonder. Everytime I saw it I would remember our love, Our times, everything we had, Everything we knew. Everything we hoped for. Here I would have everything for ever I found that picture today And when I couldn’t remember Why I took it, I threw it away. the sounds of silence” and sirens going by fill my head and I read huxley’s island a land of contentment and i think of a colorful war in Vietnam with its army green and blood red it was really nice in dickinson today really warm almost hot, and somebody said that today in maryland george Wallace was shot The war is over No more dead soldiers No more crying babies No more screaming mothers No more dying ladies No more dead brothers The war has stopped No more bodies to rot No more burned bodies No more bombs from the sky No more missing daddies No more reasons to die The war has ended No more being befriended No more enemy to fight No more living in pain No more friends dying at night No more bodies left in the rain Peace has come God’s will be done SPARKLING RICHARD LARSEN DRIFTWOOD TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, GOING NOWHERE YET GETTING SOMEPLACE.

'34 ROSE ? THE SUN OF MAN The singing of the feathered tribes on their yearly pilgrimage south announced a new day. The sun peeked between the mountains; its rays filtered through the forest, causing the dew on the wild daisies to look enriched with diamonds. The gentle sound of ocean waves soothed like a metronome on the distance as the crisp smell of salt water mingled with the essence of pine. Michael took a deep breath and opened his eyes while propping his head against the tree. Down by the stream, which seemed to trickle from nowhere, a fawn curiously crept up to see a dream—a nymph bathing. Michael laughed to himself as he watched Michelle take a last splash of water, a perfect image of Picasso's Femme. Michelle returned, her body browned evenly except where the sun was not admitted, her hair bleached to near lily whiteness, blew in the faint breeze, and eyes sparkled as if they were crystals. Michael smiled, taking hold of her hand. Funny, I don't even know your last name. Michelle threw her hair back as she let out a little laugh, stared; then a smile broke through exposing a snow white wonderland. What does it matter? The bell rang, halls filled with confusion, the instructor looked up at the clock; Next time we'll discuss the aspects of human conditioning compared to the role of heredity. Michael sighed, picked up his books and trudged out into the maze of people. Hey Mike, Mike! You going to work? “No, not yet, got one class left. In the Biology room, dirty yellow walls with a few sun weathered charts encompassed an army formation of desks. Michael sat down in the appointed place and waited for the learning process to begin. Many Botanists feel that the break down of ... The warmth of the sun and the moisture in the air soothed like a massage. Michael got up; You're right, let’s walk down to the beach.” Seagulls soared through the bright blue sky. Tips of light waves glittered as they rolled to shore from the infinite horizon. A slam of books echoed in the room, all eyes fixed on Michael's reddening face as he picked them up. After class Michael stopped at the window and stared blankly into the horizon where a factory's smoke stack, his place of work, was visible above the trees, coal black smoke bellowing out into the overcast sky. portions carried off by a breeze, displaying an artist's definition of value. Michael's car glided along the highway, pebbles on the asphalt bounced up like on a gravel road. The wind rushed through the open window, deadening all sound but its own, like a sea shell. Let’sgofora swim!” The white beach, warmed by the sun, boardered the ocean to a pin point in the distance. Michelle ran first into the water. About fifty yards out they stopped. The water, barely up to their waists, brisk yet refreshing, sent shivers up their bodies. Michael laughed; “By the time we get to where it’s deep enough we'll be too tired!” Together they stood, embraced, dancing to the rhythm of the waves. The whistle blew ending the day shift as Michael's car pulled up to the designated building. The bricks, aged and crumbling, dripping with moist soot, were matted with the skeletons of once prospering vines. The day crew was just walking out the door, faces black from labor, their eyes dulled from the darkness and hands swollen with veins of dirt. Michael walked down the dimly lit corridor that echoed consistently from the sound of the punch clock. The machine press lay waiting for him. The foreman entered; OK, Let’s go, what do ya think ya are, bankers?” Michael started THUD CLICK. . THUD CLICK THUD CLICK . The waves began coming higher and higher, splashing up into their arms. Michael turned: Let'sgo up into the woods, I know where there’s some berries. Michelle's arm tightened around his waist as they made their way to the beach. Up about half way to where they spent the night, between two towering cottonwoods, a patch of strawberries mingled with clusters of raspberries. OUCH GOD DAMN IT! No one looked up, just a few short laughs. Michael held his throbbing hand, shots of pain riffling up his arm, two little spirts of blood flew out, then quit. The foreman walked up; You're OK boy, get back to work. Michael shook his head then turned back to the machine: .THUD CLICK THUD CLICK .THUD CLICK The whistle blew, it was midnight. Michael gave a sigh of relief and trudged out the door favoring his hand like one would with a cast. At home he poured himself a tall cool glass of beer, turned on the tape deck and stretched out slowly, feeling the stiffness in his back, then lay down on the couch. The beer went down quickly; he closed his eyes and let the music, soft and mellow, take over his head. The sun baked their foreheads as they lay back against the tree feeding each other berries. The next time I pick raspberries remind me to wear pants. that could cripple a guy! They laughed, hardly keeping what berries they did have in their mouths, while they kept filling each other's. The sun, more brilliant than ever, found another opening through the trees and cast a spotlight upon the two tanning bodies. Michael took the pouch that hung around his neck and pointed it at Michelle. “Open up! The nectar of the grape took a pin point stream into her mouth, and her tongue swept up the escaping dribbles headingfor her chin. A light breeze caused the leaves over head to sing as the birds harmonized. Michael woke, the alarm was ringing and his mother was shaking him. “Michael you get up, you'll be late! Leave me alone, it's Saturday. You know very well you work the day shift on Saturday! Now get up,. I told Jimmy you'd give him a ride,.. . it's on your way. When Michael got into the car, Jimmy was already seated and waiting. Michael yawned; “How far do you want to go?” “Just drop me off at Junction 37; it's about two miles this side of the factory. Going down the highway, Jimmy looked over at Michael and said: “This has got to be the nicest day we've had all year!” “Yeah, makes me wonder why I'm going to work.” “You got a good job.” “Good job. hell. I make money, if that's what you mean by a good job! “That’s what it's all about, isn't it?” Michael shook his head: “I don't know what I'm doing; school isn't working out, I hate that damn job “You should feel lucky you got a job!” Michael looked ahead for awhile, then sighed. “It’s just not what I want!” Jimmy pointed down the road. “That's my junction.” Michael pulled the car over and Jimmy got out. “Thanks for the ride.” As Michael got started again he noticed someone down the highway about half a mile. As he grew nearer he saw it was a girl with her arm extended in the air waving her thumb. She smiled as the sun warmed breeze blew freely through her flowing hair. Michael pulled the car over. As she opened the door he said; “Where are you going? “The Mountains by the coast. “Great!” “And you? The same!” MARIA LUIZA DASILVA That night Sebastian appeared at home, drunk again. Amara and I were in the bedroom. Since the bedroom light was off, and the door open, he thought that mother was alone at home. Then he went straight ahead to the kitchen and began to fight with her. The subject was the same as always; he didn't want mother to have two daughters married to foreigners, especially since they weren't socialists like himself. Besides this he hated my boyfriend. Albert, who was from Nationalist China, and Sebastian didn't like Mao Tse Tung's government. In a few momcntsthey were talking with loud voices. We became afraid because the same thing had happened many times in the past few years: he would begin to fight, and in the end mother was always spanked. When, from the bedroom, we heard mother saying, “No. Sebastian, please, not with the knife!”, we opened the window and jumped to the sidewalk. At that moment a taxi was passing, and we got into it and went straight to the delegacy. When we came back in the police caras quickly as we could, mother was at the corner arguing with Sebastian. We became very disappointed, but we couldn't pass over this in silence. He had tried to kill mother! We couldn't live the rest of our lives with a man threatening to kill our mother, and interfering in our private lives the way he used to. We stopped them—he still tried to run but the policemen directed him toward our car and put him, along with mother in with us. We then went home and cried out things that we ordinarily wouldn't dare say, exclaiming that we couldn't live with Sebastian anymore! The policeman asked us if we wanted to put him in jail. “The decision is in your hands, he said. Sebastian almost cried, and implored us not to do this to him. He looked at us with such despair in his eyes and he seemed so feeble at that moment, that we became ashamed of ourselves. We had in our hands the destiny of a forty-five year old man! It was a hard conscience-problem to solve! We were too young to make that decision. “Keep this paper with our telephone number,” the policeman said, “and if he tries to repeat this, and continues interfering in your lives the way he does, just call me; then the decision wi II be mine.” 152 I can remember almost perfectly the day I saw Sebastian for the first time.I was going with my mother to her job. At that time my mother used to work as a housekeeper for a wealthy family, taking care of the two children. It was early in the morning, and we walked by the silent and yet—dark streets, with her holding my hand. In front of a shoemaker's shop she stopped, and holding my hand, she said. Good morning Sebastian! This is my youngest daughter, Maria Luiza. You haven't met her yet! Say good morning to him, Maria! Good morning. “Hi, so you are the youngest! Are you going to help mom with her work? “Yes. I'll take care of the small baby for her, while she is doing other things. “Yeah did you have breakfast? Let's go to the bar and have a sandwich there.” No thank you. Sebastian; we had breakfast already, said my mother, I have to go now, or I won't finish my work until six. Do you need any money. Luiza? Do you have some money? Oh, please, I have money. See you. And how about you? Have this money and buy some candy for yourself. O.K.? Holding the money, I showed it to my mother, and we both smiled, leaving Sebastian, and kept going on the same street. All the way to my mother's job, I was thinking how good Sebastian was. He was so kind and besides he was still young, good looking, and with a Spanish accent. I began to think how good it would be to have a father; I felt good about this sincere friend of my mother. And I wasn't jealous of her. I was happy, and she was happy also. One whole Saturday I had spent helping Albert with his business. We had a lot of cosmetics to deliver at the shops, and when we came back it was almost six o'clock. Albert left me at the corner because Sebastian's shoemaker’s shop was still open, and he shouldn't see us together. The shoemaker’s shop was full of men. He couldn’t see me. I passed by quickly, and went up the outside stairs to where we had been living for one year. Josefa, my second sister, was at home. Hi. Nuza, I'm so glad that you arrived! Sebastain came upstairs and asked me for mother, and I told him that I didn't know where she was; perhaps with a boyfriend of hers, I told him. She is free to do what she wants 1o ! Nuza, you should have seen how angry he became! I was holding Marco in my arms and he shouted at me, asking what I meant. Marco awakened and began to cry, and he said to me; I’ll throw you and your baby down the steps! When I heard this I became so frightened that while he was shouting at me I began to move away and then went to the bathroom and closed the door as fast as I could, with Marco in my arms. My whole body was shaking. Sebastian knocked hard on the door, saying something that I couldn't understand because he frightened me so. When he left I locked the door and just opened it now for you. I'm just waiting for Leoncio. I'll tell him everything. He must do something! Oh, my God, he is crazy, this man is crazy! I'll call Albert and ask him for a ride to Leoncio's job. We can't stay alone with a man like that being downstairs. He is drunk, isn’t he? Yeah, he is. Never more; I’ll never come back to this house! Let's go and bring Leoncia. I'm afraid. When Leoncio arrived, Sebastian wasn't at the shoemaker's shop. We ran upstairs. Leoncio was carrying a small revolver that Albert had lent to him. Both hated Sebastian! At night the situation was tense at our house. Leoncio and Albert decided that they would shoot Sebastian- even just to hurt him, to frighten him; but they would do it. At eight p.m. mother arrived. We were just waiting for her, to let her know what had happened and what they had decided to do. You won't do this! said my mother. He is drunk! When she finished saying this, Sebastian called her name from the steps. You won't go mother! He is drunk, he is crazy, he'll kill you! You won't go. We won't let you go! Don't hold me; he is just calling me! I'll go and talk with him. He is just drunk! Luiza, Luiza, come downstairs! I need to talk with you! shouted Sebastian. “You come upstairs. said Albert and Leoncio together. She won’t go! When Sebastian heard their voices, he couldn't control himself. Either you come here. Luiza or I'll break that window! A big piece of iron was thrown through the window, breaking all the glass with a terrible noise that woke all the neighbors. The piece of iron stopped inside our dining room together with all the pieces of glass. Leoncio and Albert opened slightly the bedroom window, which overlooked the street, and shot at Sebastian, very close to his feet. With astonishment, he jumped and ran. turning at the corner of our street. Did you hurt him? we asked together. No, we just shot close to his feet, to frighten him. He ran: he is fearful. He must know that we aren’t afraid of him, and that he can't dominate us!” We were shaking; our faces were pallid. Leoncio was still holding the revolver, while mother was sitting down with her hands over her head. Somebody knocked at the door. It was a policeman. “Who has a revolver here? Sebastian, the shoemaker, said that somebody from this house tried to shoot him; who has the revolver? “Look at what he did! we said, “He broke that window with this piece of iron; he tried to kill a baby; he could hurt us with this piece of iron! Did he tell you why we threatened to kill him? Look at our house; it is a mess! He did this! The two of them spent that night in jail: Leoncio because he had no license to use a revolver and Sebastian because he had invaded other people's property. The second time I saw Sebastian I was already at the boarding school. It was a Sunday afternoon, and the sun shone through the window of the room where we were. My mother was so happy that day with Sebastian there that she could leave us with him and go to the other side of the big room to talk with a friend of hers. Usually, when she came to visit us she became so depressed in thinking that we had to live there, so far from her, that she never left us for a minute. She had changed! Sebastian took me to the garden that was in the front of the room. Let's stay in the sun. You need the sun, he said. Outside he held my hand and we walked together looking at the street separated from us by the big wall. “What do you want? Tell me, I can give you everything that you want, he said, while embracing me. “I want a Spanish book? And castanets!” “Very easy. I'll give you all of this. Do you have a lot of food here?” “Yeah, but it is terrible. It isn’t as good as the food from home. “I'll bring something for you when I come back. Let's go see your mother now. I think that it is almost time to leave. We'll come back next month. Eat a lot and study hard, so you can leave this place soon.” He gave me a lot of incentive. I felt safe with him. When they left I was glad. We had two people worrying about us now. The future didn’t seem so uncertain to me anymore. Now I was always the subject of fights. Since Albert was my boyfriend, the discussions, and fights were frequent in our house—in the morning, at night, during the weekends, all the time. I met Albert through Sebastian himself. He was at his shoemaker’s shop discussing with Sebastian when I appeared. He began talking with me, gave me a magazine to look at, and since he looked so interesting—I never had talked with a Chinese person before—we continued seeing each other each Saturday. “I told you already that this Chinese boy isn’t a man for you, and I don’t want to see you with him anymore! He is a capitalist; he is from Nationalist China; he doesn’t like Mao Tse Tung and a man like that is of no use. Listen to what I’m telling you. I don’t want to see you with him anymore! But I continued. When something is prohibited that is when you would like to have it all the more—also because I began to like Albert. During the weekends he would never close the shoemaker’s shop early because he wanted to see if I’d go out with Albert. I always found a way to get together with him without letting Sebastian know because I didn’t like it when he and mother fought. But he always discovered us. The three years that I associated with Albert were three years of fights. The year that I left the boarding school my mother had moved into another house. It was small, but ventilated and gay. “Sebastian found this house. He was worried about a good place to put you when you came back. We both bought the beds, the table, the chairs, everything that we have here. Now we can live together, said my mother. It was so good to think that I didn't need to come back to that school. To think that I’d sleep together with my mother and my sisters, and that in the next day I'd be in my home free to do what I’d like, made me happy. Almost two weeks I spent just playing with my new friends that lived across the street. But I couldn't spend all my time just playing. I began to worry about continuing my studying. Sebastian was the first to look for a school for me. He had three girlfriends, and all of them were teachers. So it was easy for him to find a school. Each night he helped me with my homework. We both sat down together and he taught me how to solve the problems. It was nice to watch him write. He didn’t write the numbers or the letters he drew them. He spent a lot of time just writing the number two. They were the most perfect numbers that I had ever seen. Each day on my way home from school, I spent some time in Sebastian's shoemaker shop. We listened to the radio—always the same program: a man just saying bad things about the government. When he had finished, it was time for the news about crimes that occurred in the city. He was a fanatic for those programs. He never missed one. At nine in the morning it was time for him to talk with his friend, an elderly man—almost sixty years old who also spoke Spanish. They were old friends. His friend sat on a bench near him. And while Sebastian, cutting the leather, they talked. This was also the time for a cigar because his friend didn’t smoke cigarettes. The subject of the conversation was just about politics. I enjoyed listening to them even though I didn't understand it. I liked to listen to their Spanish accent. ❖ sfie % Sebastian always arrived at night, and then used to go to our bedroom to see how we were doing. To see him talking with my mother at the street was different than to see him in our house at night. In our bedroom he covered us, put the pillow in the right place behind our head and then turned off the light. I pretended that I was sleeping, or he would ask me a lot of questions like: Do you like me?” or Can I be your father? And I didn’t like to answer those questions. He liked to touch me, to put his arm around me, to embrace me—and I didn't like this either. Josefa, my second sister, hated him. She had a boy friend whom Sebastian didn't like. so. during the night. Sebastian always talked with my mother about him. Since Josefa began to go with this man, she was the main subject of the arguments at night. I hate this Sebastian, said Josefa. “He is always interfering in my private life. Nobody likes him in his district. He is famous there because he is always trying to conquer all the girls that appear at the shoemaker's shop. Mom, why don't you make him stop interfering in my life?” Jc aSe Je It was Monday noon; I had finished physical education class at the high school. I couldn't have lunch at my home because I lived very far from the school, so I decided to go to Sebastian’s house. He lived near the school, and he always invited me to have lunch with him; it was a good opportunity to go: I was hungry and tired. When I arrived there, he was still repairing some shoes. He was sitting in front of a small table full of all sorts of nails, glasses of glue, pieces of leather, everything very dusty. He was using a dark and sick looking apron. On his legs he had a big piece of wood on which he was nailing a shoe. When he saw me. he stood up. Are you just coming from school?” “Yeah,” I said. You will have lunch with me. won’t you?” “Yeah, if you have something to eat.” I don’t have anything to eat just now, but you can wait here for a while, and take care of the things for me and I'll go buy eggs for our lunch, OK?” It took him about fifteen minutes. He couldn’t pass in front of the bar without having something to drink, and talk for a while with his friends. “Let's go upstairs, I'll fry the eggs for you. Close the door of the workshop. Upstairs was a mess; all the dishes from his breakfast were still on the table. Clothes were spread around every place. Pans used to make the last dinner were still on the stove. In the sink you couldn't see anything besides dirty dishes. I cleaned the table a little, while he was frying the eggs. He had bought a bottle of wine, a big loaf of french bread, and a dozen eggs. While we were eating he asked me, “You do love me, don’t you Nuza?” I sat quiet. “You know that I love you as though you were my daughter, don't you? Why don’t you tell me the truth? Do you like me? Yes, I like you ...” “Do you want wine? Just a little. “You are my little daughter. Give me an embrace!” “No, I go, or I'll be late.” “It is early yet. Eat some more!” No, it was enough. Now I have to go.” “I’ll make a sandwich for you.” No, I won't be hungry until dinner time.” “Do you want a thick piece of bread, or is this OK?” “This piece is OK. It is OK, it is OK, not so much butter! You should eat more butter. You are growing, you need to eat a lot. ..” “Thanks, Sebastian,” “You know that I'd do anything for you, don’t you? I was taking care of the shoemaker's shop just for a while because Sebastian had gone to drink something when a poor girl appeared. She was very badly dressed, and holding a sack. She sat down on the bench and asked for Sebastian. He is not here. He is at the bar on the corner.’' I just want my ball, and my bag. I paid him already, and came here just to pick them up. Can you give' them to me, they are over there.” Sure, here they are.” Bye.” Bye.” When Sebastian arrived I told him that I had given the things to the girl that belonged to her, as she had said. Suddenly he became white and then whiter, and with the strongest voice that I had ever heard, he said. Go away, Go away from here! Go away dummy girl! You are crazy. Go away! Those things didn't belong to her! How can I explain to the owner now! Go away!” I ran as fast as I could. I was so frightened. I never had heard Sebastian talking with me in that way. That night he told my mother what had happened, and he apologized, but I could never forget this. ❖ 5 ❖ ❖ Usually it was late in the night when Sebastian arrived at our home. And he always brought something with him for us; a french bread, meat, beans, anything. But he never used to eat at our home; a cup of coffee was the most that he would accept. He said that my mother had four daughters to raise, and he would feel like he was exploiting her if he ate at our home each night. And he did this for many years. Later my mother always left something for him to eat; he would arrive at home hungry. During the day he would eat just a sandwich because since his wife had left him he wasn't renting the house upstairs anymore, so he didn't have a kitchen in which to prepare his meals, like in the old days. And a beef or pork was very expensive for him now. He didn’t have a lot of work to do partially because he fought with everybody and partially because other shoemakers’ shops appeared on his street. I don't like to have to eat here, but you know that now is when I need your help. Now you can give me the orders. You are at the top now. But you must know that if I don’t have money it is because I don't work—I'm not worried about working hard but you, you'll never have money in your life. You can work hard, but you will always be an employee; you’ll never be independent like me!” sjc ❖ ❖ Since the last fight between Sebastian, Albert and Leoncio—by which all of us were affected—I didn't talk with him anymore. During the next two years he continued coming to our home, but just my mother would talk with him. When I left for the United States, he left for Spain. He was sick of us, and we were sick of him also. He said perhaps he’d never come back to Brazil. If he’d leave Spain, he’d live in Argentina, not in Brazil anymore. Today I received a second letter from him, he is still in Spain: ... You are very funny, reminded me of things from the past, adventures, but now I'm entirely different. I forgot already all the past, I just look at the future, and with more positive things to do, like make company for your mother, and do for all of you the best that I can, everything that is within my reach,” he wrote. He enclosed in it one dollar for me. BRIAN LENO MONGOL When Temuchin met the world. Come, warrior, do not weep, All empires crumble into dust, Ruins lay dead and sleep, Your sword eventually turns to rust. Dream of cities put to the sword, The time for pestilence was ripe, Plunder, ruins and women to rape, The war falcon was unfurled, Death brought by the Golden Horde— Look! There flies the kite. Forgotteness is your fate. So drink arjka to forget, Don your dacha for a new war, Remember the enemies you met, Remember this, no more. In the dust scratch your name, All empires fade into dust, Come, warrior, do not cry, Let the whistling wind blow Erasing your tribes’ fame, Now you have but one foe. What if your sword turns to rust, Even old warriors must die. Laugh at the names given you. Pay homage to the Great Khan, Of your war falcons left are few, On your ruins lies the dawn. Men screamed under the heel Of Lord Tamerlane; Nations learned to kneel Or to putto flame. arjka—mongol drink dacha—winter coat Temuchin—Name of Genghis Khan In the Rain A young man, aged thirty, leaned against the wall of a deserted building and watched the rain fall. He heard it pounding against the canopy above him. Looking at his watch he found it was five minutes to two. He wondered if Ray would come. The young man thought back to twelve years ago. Both of us were eighteen, he said aloud. Even now that night stood out clearly in his mind. How Ray had screamed that there was no god and that he controlled his own destiny, thereby his own death. Anton, admiring the sense of freedom such thoughts gave him, quickly stated that he, too, controlled his own fate. Ray had demanded that if this be so that they meet at an agreed spot on June second, Anton's thirtieth birthday, and there exercise their control over their fates by committing suicide. At first reluctant, Anton, considering it was twelve years away, agreed. And so now Anton leaned against the wall of their assigned meeting place and waited for Ray. He smiled and almost laughed. A lot had changed since then; he no longer thought the idea a good one. But Anton had not seen Ray for eleven years and he was curious if he would show up. Anton flicked his cigarette out of his mouth. Hello, Anton.” Anton started and saw that a rain-drenched figure stood beside him. The figure’s hair fell beneath his shoulders and his blue eyes gleamed. His white teeth showed in a broad smile. Is that you Ray?” Of course it's me, you idiot! Have I changed that much? You have. Your hair is shorter and you've grown a mustache. Ray laughed and brushed his hair back on his head with his hand. No, it’s not that you've changed so much, but that I really didn’t expect you to show up. Ray frowned disappointedly. We made a pledge,” he said flatly. Yes, but a lot can change in twelve years,” Anton said. Noticing that Ray was still frowning, he hastened to change the subject. What you been doing? I know you moved out of Bismarck ten years ago. Ray nodded. “I went to Paris, Germany and Italy and finally made myself a writer.” He smiled. “I’ve become pretty well known over there.” Are you married, Ray?” Hell no!” He laughed. You know yourself I’d never marry. Marriage is not for me—it would have tied me down and prevented me from doing the things I want to do.” Anton smiled. “I can imagine.” Well, what about you Anton? I suppose you’ve settled down with a wife and kids.” That’s right, I am. Ray burst out laughing. You’re kidding, I never thought you were a fool!” I .got married four years ago. I have two children, both girls. I'm very proud of them and I'm happy. Ray said nothing. I have a good paying job in a bookstore and I enjoy my work. Well, are you ready? Ray asked, frowning. Ready for what?” That which we pledged twelve years ago. Suicide!” Anton screamed. Are you joking! Do you think I married, had kids and etched out a good living just to kill myself and leave my wife and kids without support! Don't be crazy.” “I never thought you'd back out. Anton. Ray pulled out a gun. Anton’s eyes grew big. “You’re joking! Ray. you don't actually mean you’re going to do it.” Ray nodded. “I meant what I said twelve years ago. Nothing has changed. Nothing’s changed! Anton shouted. You just told me you're making a name for yourself in Europe. Doesn't that mean anything to you?” Anton reached for the gun. Ray stepped back and stuck the gun back in his pocket. “It means something when you’re alive, but when you're dead, nothing matters. Anton shook his head and laughed. “You're crazy. Don't you understand!” Anton stepped back at the murderous tone in Ray’s voice. Life is a nightmare! You live in the threat of people spreading dirty rumors about you because they're jealous of your success. Be this way, be that way. Fall into our standards and we’ll love you, if you don't we'll destroy you. Always having to speak properly, never showing that you're angry at some fool who thinks he knows something. Death would be a blessing.” You can't mean that.” Anton pleaded. “You're only thirty years old. Get married, settle down— I’m disappointed in you Anton. You've become one of them and now you want me to become one too.” Ray paused. “If I don't do it now I’d only do it later on. So I might as well do it now. Once again Ray withdrew the gun. Good God! You’re not going to do it here! Now?” Ray nodded. You can leave if you like, but I must do it. “Why? The word was a whisper. Ray looked sad. “You used to understand Anton, but now you’ve grown too fast in corruptness to remember your understanding. “I’ll go to the police. You fool! The act will have been done long before you could even contact them.” A sigh escaped from Anton. Then there's nothing I can do?” “Leave, Anton, leave. I don’t want you to see it. Alright, he said weakly. Ray turned. Holding the gun he walked into the deserted building. Anton walked off into the rain. He took a deep breath of the clean smelling air and watched the rain travel down his clothes. He started walking up a hill, toward home. Suddenly, through the pounding of the rain, he heard a shot. Stricken, he hurried home. KATHY MESSER To Be Someone, someone great, someone able to help people, someone to give that SPECIAL GIFT—LOVE I need someone to love me, to guide me, to make me know that I am Someone. No Man Isan Island— No one on this earth can stand by himself— we all need to be with people— to learn the joy of living to reach out for the fullness of LIFE. Many people enjoy LIFE at a young age. Many of these people learn what life is all about and they live their LIFE to the very fullness day by day, accepting what comes. When these people leave us, they leave a lesson behind for all. So let us all learn by what they have given us, No matter if they die old or die young, they've left us with a lesson, so let’s Use that gift—the gift of LIFE. People Need People If everyone on this earth would take the time to realize that the reason they are where they are, is because someone has guided them there. YES, many of us are in places that we would rather not be, but think of how you got there— Someone LED you, and yes, people make their own decisions, but also they were brought up by someone, some person, an individual has helped you, has influenced your decisions on the matter. And some of us, find ourselves in a very favorable life. A LIFE where we are not suppose to be missing anything, we have all the material riches of the world and even some of the beautiful spiritual riches. YET how many of these fortunate people are satisfied? Not Many—people keep reaching out for more, they keep seeking to find something new, something more fulfilling then they already have. Why don’t the people of this earth, every last one just sit down and take a good hard long look at what they have and then look at what others have. Everyone of us has something a little more then someone else, so Thank God for all that YOU have, even if the next guy has a little more, the guy on the other side of you—he has Less. Be Thankful for what you have, And live each day of your LIFE to the very fullness. Seek this—and LOVE will reward you and GOD will be at your side. He’s there NOW. so wake up and appreciate and LIVE LOVE. HE He knows the boundless joy—which prevails for man; the satisfaction of success, the sorrow of a lost one, the emptiness of man. the warmth of nature, the glory of rebirth, the gentleness of a baby, and the LOVE OF HEART.
