SPEAKING OUT Students at BJC were asked their opinions of the school, what it does and doesn’t offer, and the pros and cons they have found. 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.
