FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1975 BOZEMAN. MONTANA VOL. 66. NO. 26

By Wayne Wienke Jane Ba iley, a noted Montana

poet who has studied under the likes of Richard Hugo, Robert Greely and John Logan, engrossed a small but receptive audience Feb. 1 B in the SUB. Ms. Bailey read numerous

, selections from her own · writings, which have a distinctly fresh flavor when compared to the poetry most people are required to suffer through in high school.

Ms. Bailey writes her love poetry to be reflected by Eros, the son of the Greek God oflove. Eros is considered to be the prime mover who brings forces together toward self-realiza­tio·n.

Some of Ms. Bailey's forceful , often personal, and sometimes shocking poems were asked to be repeated at several points during the reading .

Some of the love poems read were Cruel Srping, Wish on Michael, Almost Strangers, Hunger, and Sabra.

After reading a number of love poems, Ms. Bailey said she was often tempted to jump around to different poetry and asked if anyone wanted to hear some earth poems.

Ms. Bailey appeared very contained, although her poetry seemed to suggest otherwise. When she read poetry on the consciousness of the prairie Ms. Bailey spoke of the feeling of space a person experiences while living there, in a way I have not heard elsewhere.

Ms. Bailey read a number of earth poems, including Prairie Mind and The Silence Up the Ambrose Creek. but came back

to love poems later in her readings.

Later Ms. Bailey read poems on how this feeling of space turns to a feeling of emptiness. Ms. Bailey seemed critical of the barrenness of Northeast Montana in her introduction of a selection of earth poems, but her poems could not be considered critical.

Jane Bailey

To go along with her selection of love poems, Ms. Bailey read the gathering some poems described as breaking up poems. Some of these included Stale ­mate, Paint Job, Blue Dream, and That Old Whirlpool.

Ms. Bailey ended her reading with more love poetry along the lines of her Still Life and The Open Field.

2 - THE EXPONENT - Friday, February 21, 1975

By Kathleen Lehnherr WHEREAS, the society of this

state is embedded in a foundation of strong Christian beliefs; and

WHEREAS, events of recent years have tampered with the moral fiber of your society; and

WHEREAS, one strand of the fiber which has frayed to the breaking point is the moral corruption of male· female relationship of our youth; and

WHEREAS. this corruption is particularly noticeable on college campuses and is promoted by the administration of certain rules and policies: and

WHEREAS, the administrative actions of this state 's campuses is controlled by the Board of Regents; and

WHEREAS. co-educations/ dormi­tories and 24-hour visitation policies promote the severance of the moral fiber of our youth.

Now. therefore. be it resolved by the Senate and the House of Repre­sentatives of the State of Montana:

" That, the Board of Regents of the State of Montana are requested to cease and desist from the policy of promoting moral decadence by the presence of co-educational dormitories and 24-hour visitation privileges.

"BE IT FURTHER RESOL VEO. that instead, the Board of Regents institute policies to promote a strong moral environment at our institutions of higher learning."

So reads the newest legis­lation from the Senate Education Committee, Joint Resolution No. 14. Although a resolution does not constitute a law. it carries much weight as an official statement from the State concerning the attitudes of the taxpayers and their repre-

sentatives (who control un1ver­s it y funding) towards institutions of higher learning. If such a bill were passed, the Board of Regents wou Id be forced to act accordingly and bow to what would appear to be public opinion: to abolish co-ed dormitories and 24-hour visitation privileges; or risk having no money in the years to come.

First reading was held on Monday but the resolution has not come to a vote yet. It is considered a radica I right wing movement by most members of the Education committee and is expected not to pass. But it's presence alone indicates the political climate is changing. Cornelius Theissen, a 64-year­old representative from Laurel , introduced the bill as a measure against what appears to him to be rampant promiscuity.

He produced as evidence letters from his constituents, a column of Dear Abby 's first published in 1970 and his opponent in the last election. His arguments stated that it was obvious that there was corruption on the campuses as well evidenced by unemploy­ment, high divorce rates and spiraling welfare rolls. Senator Theissen had no statistics readily available but to him, they were unneeded because every­one knew what the reality of the situation was. The other two senators who co-signed the resolution, Stan Stevens of Havre and Ed Smith of Dagmar, said they had acted on the wishes of voters who had contacted them. Smith, who has a son attending MSU, was also very concerned that the univer­sity be aware that the taxpayers have been complaining so stands in danger of losing the six mill levy which will soon go before the public .

Objections from students, parents and the administration have been numerous. The policy of co-ed dormitories and visitation was carefully researched before putting them into effect. Alternatives were offered for all those who did not wish that type of living arrange­ments. Statistics from the MSU housing office indicate there have been fewer problems in

student housing since these actions were taken.

There has been no tax money invested in the dormitories themselves. Their building and maintenance has been paid by students in the form of bond issues. The current residence policies were voted in by the students. Evidently this is what they wanted done with their money.

The legislature itself has declared 1 B-year-olds adults. They have also outlawed the entrance of students' rooms without due cause. Moral policies proposed by this resolution would be a violation of the students' right to privacy, and even so, the administration could not even find out if illicit activities were occurring.

Ideally, rather than promoting moral decadence co-ed dormi ­tories should become a teaching device in themselves : to show the student how to handle responsibility. In the transition period between high school and the " real world, " campus living (which has the added counseling benefits of resident advisors and dormitory supervisors) should invoke in the student a sense of dependability and make he or she accountable for their own actions. If this is not happening, perhaps there is something wrong with housing policies as they stand now.

Since students are actively involved with the daily ramifi­cations of the situation, it seems they are the ones who should let the taxpayers and the leg islators know what is actually happen­ing on campus. You can write the senators at the Capitol Building, Helena, MT. 59601 or call to talk to them at 1-449-3760. They are especially anxious to get a clear picture from the students ' point of view

Older students iacked around at MSU To the Editor:

MSU would like to heve you come back or for the first time, go to college.

They'll accept your tuition fees, charge you for books end you're on your own.

You register for classes that ere familiar to you or some you've never had. They put you in a class; for instance math. If you've never had it before, such as algebra. they go thru ppproximately a section per day or maybe 2 days. You can ask questions if the intructor has time, if not you do

your homework on your own the best you can, and keep going .

The object I understand, is they have to.go fast and get so much in for those that need all the math courses. The older students who have to take 1 or 2 quarters for requirements, and

haven't had it before are just out of luck. Try it again next quarter. We 're

not paying the T.A.'s to take time to teach you, you 're supposed to know it before you take it. if this makes sense.

So older students make sure you

know something about what you 're taking before you take it.

Why not have an older student section for math or other courses. Go at a little slower pace and be able to get a little knowledge instead of being run through like a herd of cattle, and not getting any benefit from the course at all.

Other colleges have many more and appealing ways to get older students to attend college.

How about it MSUI What can you do77?

Mortar Board recruiting scholars To the Editor:

Glancing around the campus, an alert student will see a few signs describing projects like Mechanics Workshops. Who are they sponsored by? Mortar Board! Mortar Board is a national organization for junior and senior women with outstanding scholarship who have shown they care about people through their demonstrated leadership and service records. At Montana State, the Mortar Board merT\bers meet regularly, planning projects to benefit the campus community.

Back in 1948, they were conducting a Leadership Training School, and a Marriage Relation Panel Dis­cussion. These projects have continued, and since 1973, Mortar Board has sponsored a Mechanics Workshop for women. a Financial Aid information program, and is currently cooperating with AWS on the upcoming Women 's Symposium being tield February 18, 19, and 20.

Applications to join Mortar Board are being mailed this week to those junior girls with a cumulative grade point average of a 3.00 or higher. If

'Stand on our own feet' By Gordon Scoville

If we could stop and reflect for a moment on the articles that I authored recently, we would discern two things in particular: (1) I pissed a lot of people off (which, as I said before, was my fault); and (2) the value of what I said, in itself, stands unblemished and true.

Students at this university, as I pointed out repeatedly. do hide behind roles, do drink as an escape from themselves. do use and abuse others for "ego" satisfaction. And all this is done for one reason (if I might simplify the situation): to avoid despair.

Hence it is my conviction that if, at anytime. MSU students were to drop the defenses that I've pointed to (roles, drinking, etc.) and open themselves to the reality of who they are. they would abhor what they see; and they would despair at the condition in which they live, a condition which might properly be called aleination or separation. That is, a state in which we are all quite distant from one another (emotionally).

To encounter this condition is to despair at changing it: a most frightful prospect! So we seek escape into the realm of alienated drinking. Better than that despair I Better to be drunk than face the reality of our livesl

Now you don 't have to buy this, but I believe firmly that its true. And what is more. I don 't believe there is any excuse for such defensive activity to continue. We're all able to "stand on our own feet" and find better answers to our problems than fearful drunkenness (fearful, because the people at MSU drink due to fear of themselves). I say "stand on our own feet", because its my hunch that few individuals on this campus drink alone. That is, they drink as part of a crowd. They "follow the crows"; and in so doing, lose themselves in the collective pursuit of beer.

Finally, please don 't think I'm writing this just to make you mad. Such is not the case. Rather, I feel a responsibility to speak up on matters that I have insight into; and in so doing, perhaps prod you into questioning things that you hadn't thought to question.JI I've succeeded in that much, then I've succeeded. If not, then not.

'Keep gambling, suckersl' Dear Gamblers,

I think it is about time that some­one writes a letter about the virtues of gambling in Montana. I guess, I cannot write this for Montana in general, but for Bozeman in particular. I am a student from Nevada. My father, before he died, was a dealer for one of the large gambling casinos. He was as honest as the day is long whenever he delt in the casino. Hell, the odds favor the House and there was no need for cheating. But. I can say this, he could have made a small fortune dealing here in Montana. Dad would have me and my older brother watch him shuffle and then to our amazement. deal the card he said he was going to deal. We could never catch himl

My friend lost a considerable amount of money even though I had tried to ten him some of the pointers dad had told me and my older brother. I do not play poker down­town, but have observed many games here in Bozeman. How many of you gamblers know that poker playing is a science? How many of you know anything about the mathematics of probability? Do any of you know what a shill is? If you do not know all three, I would bet a dime to a dillar that you have not been winning. Sure, you win just enough to keep you digging into your wallet. Dishonest dealers are not stupid!

Do not get me wrong. I am sure that the majority of the dealers in Bozeman are honest. But, on the other hand, I'll bet there are a few dishonest ones. Why do most dealers keep the deck in the palm of their hands and not on the table in front of them7 It would seem to be thal doing 1his (holding the deck) Just might handicap the players and benefit the dealer. And if a dealer refuses to place his deck on the table to deal. that in i tself should be a warning that maybe, just maybe he can deal like my father once coufdl

Keep on gambling suckers. (And this includes me) It is another of the

long list of human vices. P.T. Barnum was right. And so is that psychologist who said true gamblers are like true alcoholics, both are not happy until the gambler loses and the alcoholic gets drunk!

MSU Students: Your Academics Board of

ASMSU has been busy for the past two quarters gathering and compiling information for the Expanded Course Description Catalog. It was felt that the course descriptions in the MSU Catalog are inadequate; there­fore, the ECDC was designed to aid the student in selection of elective courses. Every course has not been included for these reasons:

1 ) It wou Id not be of interest to nonmajors or was upper-level with too many prerequis ites.

2) Some departments did not wish to advertise any courses because most have limited enrollment and first allegiance is to their own students.

3) Some departments de­clined to participate for "other " reasons.

With this project, Academics Board has centralized the efforts of many departments that already had their own course descriptions made up. The board is willing to complete its job (Fall and Winter quarters) but we need your support. So look over the ECDC and let us know if it has helped. ECDC's may be found at the desk of every dorm. in the SUB, Senate Office, Library, and Testing and Counseling Center.

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is concen­trating his diplomatic sl<llls on pre· venting war betv.oeen the Arabs end Israelis. But behind his back, war may break out between Greece and Turkey.

On Cyprus. for example. an un­easy truce between Turkish and Greek Cypriot forces is close to the breaking point. Already, the Turkish Cypriots have arbitrarily declared their third of the island an inde­pendent state. There has also been sporadic fighting around the capital city of Nicosia.

Turkey has military superiority on the island, but this could soon change. Congress has ordered a to­taJ embargo on military aid to Tur­key, whose armed forces are Ameri­can-equipped from bombs to boots. Without spare parts, the Turkish planes and tanks won't be able to op­erate for many more months.

But fighting may be even more likely over the Aegean Sea than over Cyprus The Turks have their eyes on the 011 that is believed to exist under the Aegean Most of the seabed lies within Greece's territorial bounda­ries_ Yet Turkey has granted explor­at1en permits in the area

Seeing Reel: President Ford's budget has everybody seeing red. Liberals don't like the cuts in social programs. Conservatives are out­raged over the $52 billion deficit.

This is the largest peacetime defi­cit in history. Yet the red ink is likefy to widen to $70 billion by the time Congress gets through adding its pet programs.

Not even President Ford is happy with his own budget. His state­ments on the budget dramaticalty underline how fast the economy is slipping. Last fall, he promised a bal­anced budget. He changed his mind by the end of the year.

In his January State of the Union message, he estimated a $44 billion deficit would be necessary. Yet only three weeks later, he called for a $52 billion deficit.

The President has told friends gloomily that he can never get elect­ed unless he can improve the econ­omy.

His economic experts have told him that the outlook should begin brightening in about four more months. But these are the same ex­perts who have consistently under­estimated the severity of the eco­nomic distress

Oil Connections: Congressional critics believe the Nixon admm1stra­t1on could have held down oil prices by taking a firmer stand with the oil-

By Fr. Michael Miles Campus Catholic Ministry

"This year America can help save a starving world. If we would feed our cattle two weeks longer on grass instead of grain. the results would be profound. Our steak would be slightly tougher, but the grain saved in 1975-76 would be enough to meet the world 's needs this year."

This statement intruded upon my Sunday afternoon via CBS's excellent program 60 Minutes. The commentator's voice served as background to the faces of the starving, positioned side by side with cattle gorging them­selves with precious grain in preparation for American tables.

Obviously the solution to our planet's starving millions, is extremely complex and will require long range planning. Population control, readjusted priorities and values among all the nations. more equal distri­bution of food, and life-style alterations are just a few areas crying for immediate attention. Meeting the grain needs of mankind in 75-76 is like a "finger in the dike" and is a short-term measure at best. Yet it is the only chance millions of ourfellow human beings have forth is year; for perhaps it will be their last.

" Just two weeks less grain for our cattle and the annual world's need for grain will be met.·• A temporary solution cenainly, but at least a step in the right direction ... One toward helping bring "heaven .. and doing away with " hell."

This challenge reminds me of an old Chinese proverb. Mothers used to teach their children in this manner of Heaven - of Hell

" Hell: Picture several starving people They are admitted to a huge hall with long tables stacked with every conceivable food. They are seated opposite each other and invited to dine. There is only one regulation: Everyone must eat with chopsticks provided.

The problem is that the chopsticks are three feet long and everytime a person tries to eat it is impossible to turn the chopsticks around and place the food in their mouths.

Hell is seated at that table and starving to death I" "Heaven" on the other hand is this: Picture several starving people

They, too. are admitted to a huge hall with long tables stacked with every conceivable food

They. too, are seated opposite each other and invited to dine Likewise there 1s only one regulation· Everyone must eat with three foot chopsticks

Onlyth1s time they do not starve to death. for they are using the chop­sticks to feed one another ··

So many options for the world Of less defense dollars or more mega-deaths7 Of less dog food and more planetary concern? Of two weeks less gram and more for the world7 Of Heaven or of He!l7

Greece and Turkey move closer to war producing countries two years ago.

The Nixon reaction to the oil squeeze was so mild, according to intelligence reports I saw at the time. that some countrtes suspected the United States was actually behind the push for higher oil prices.

In light of this strange tolerance for the oil gouge, it is interesting to see what has happened to some of the Nixon policymakers.

Fonmer Vice President Spiro Ag· new is now doing business with the oil potentates in Kuwait end Saudi Arabia .

Former Secretary of State Wil­liam Rogers has turned up as the lawyer for the Pahlavi Foundation, which the Shah of Iran uses to in­vest his enormous oil wealth.

The Houston law firm of ex-Trea­sury Secretary John B. Connally represents the Arabian Corp., the Lebanon-based firm which recently tried to buy out the Lockheed Corp.

And former Atty. Gen . Richard Kleindienst is handling legal mat­ters for the Algerian government's oil interests.

Course on To the Editor:

I am interested in introducing a course centering around evolving human consciousness into the uni­versity system in Montana_ The course would attempt to integrate certain aspects of the "mysticism" of the ancient eastern religions and primitive tribal societies with west­ern "scientific " knowledge, and would be suitable for credit in sev­eral traditional subject matter areas I have begun attempts to introduce the course by offering to teach 1t this spring as a special topics course m the Philosophy branch of the De­partment of History, Government and Philosophy. This offer has led to a series of discussions which, taken together involved myself, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and several MSU Philosophy and Psychology faculty members. At the moment the fate of the course is un­certain. I belive there is still a possi­bility that the cours could be offered this spring. If there are enough in­terested students. In any case I in­tend to continue wortting toward this goal and am writing this letter to as· sess student interest and to soltcit student and faculty support for the course.

As a starter. he has served notice upon the Ford Administration that he will not let them send South Viet· nam another $500 million and take the same amount away from the poor in this country.

Humphrey also cornered Treasu­ry Secretary William Simon and con­gratulated him on his candid con­fession that the economy is in trou­ble. But Humphrey added: "I don 't want my doctor just to tell me I'm sick. I want him also to tell me how to get better."

Classless Crunch: Even the fat­cats are beginning to feel the eco­nomic pinch. A former assistant postmaster general. for example, re­cently called on us . He had been squeezed out of the Posttal Service in a political power play.

His former corporation has nova­cancy at the executive level but put him back on the payroll as a consult-

1) the idea of states of conscious­ness.

2) physiological and psycholo­gical evidence for a bimodal con­sciousness in man.

3) mystical concepts and altered conscious states fitting the idea of bimodal consciousness,

4) techniques of consciousness al­teration and a rationale for their ef­fectiveness.

5) paranormal phenomena, 6) eastern models of the human

mind/body.

I have proposed that three credits be granted for satisfactory partici­pation in these activities.

H you are a student interested in taking such a course (either this spring, or next fall or winter) please

He could no longer fight back the tears as he told us finally that he didn't think he was better than oth· er people but thet it was hard for him, a former big boss, to line up for un­employment compensation and to draw food stamps.

The ASMSU Student Senate the what??. the legislative body

of ASMSU meets every Thursday evening at 6:00 in the Bighorn Room. All are invited, and we enioy your ideas If you can't make it, stop in and see us at the Student Senate office.

Presently the Student Senate 1s considering Student Activity Fee waivers for nursing students and a payment of activity fees by graduate students. The content of such legislation would provide an equalization of fee payments. In essence. those who use the services would pay for it. Also under Senate consideration is the use of stickers on activity cards (l.C.'s) to distinguish activity fee paying students and current students from non­students. This legislation provides some type of remedy for the " box-office ripoff" incurred by such groups as CEC. Other legislation on the agenda concerns a general clean up of boards and other policies under ASMSU.

Senate presently, is a mass of Ad Hoc committees which are considering such things as the Multi -Use Facility, Consumer Affairs, Academic Calendar, and Constitutional Audit com­mittees. just to mention a few. Other standing committees as the Finance Board are very active; one of the most active is the Legislative Research Com­mittee. This committee works with the Student Lobbyist, Bruce Nelson, on supporting legis­lation for the students of MSU and Montana Colleges and

Universities Their responsi­bilities range from finding information and stat1sttcs on bills to taking polls on student interests and opinions.

Soon publicity will be out on the new addition of MSU. the Recreational Facility This service will provide recreational supplies to students. The range of equipment available will increase as ttme progresses, at the time, money has been allocated for camping equipment. rubber rafts , and bicycles.

Senate was responsible for getting Dial-a-Happen ing on campus. This service provides a calendar for events on campus.

In many cases Senate resolutions carry a lot of " power " or " weight" in what goes on at MSU. Some of the important resolutions considered in the lastfewweeks were the recommendat ions of the MSU Athletic Commission that the Big Sky Conference and M SU go Division One in football . which is the status of basket­ball, and the inviting of Wally Byam Caravan to MSU. Both resolutions were passed.

Coming attractions to Senate are the ASMSU budget(which is always " fun time") spring elections of senators and executive branch of ASMSU, and, of course, the valuable new ideas, suggestions, and opinions from committees and boards and, hopefully, the constituents of A SMSU.

Conservatives testify aga1nst 'decadent' donns By Dennis Brosten

The State Senate Education Committee heard testimony Monday on SJR 14, a measure designed to abolish coed dorms and 24-hour v1s1tation at state funded colleges and univer­sities. Senator Cornie Thiessen (D-Lambert) gave his reasons for sponsoring the resolution before the committee with the room so full of students that many were standing or s1tt1ng on the floor.

Thiessen, noticeably worked up, told of how the 18 year old dn nki ng age and coed dorm issues had been brought up in

his election campaign by his opponent Math J. Dassinger. Thiessen said he apologized to many of his constituents for his previous inaction on these issues

He read portions of letters that parents had sent to him. One parent expressed reservations about coed halls because "young people from rural areas have really led sheltered lives." Another parent of a girl attend­ing U of M wrote that her daughter said that there are many rapes occurring in coed halls there.

In summing up his testimony Thiessen cited increasing divorce rates and welfare rolls as signs of moral decay. He quoted a psychology magazine article that concerned psychiatric problems in college students. The article said that (impotence is an increasing problem) due to increasing pressure on college men for sexual performance.

In summing up his testimony Thiessen cited increasing divorce rates and welfare rolls as signs of moral decay. He quoted a psychology magazine article that concerned psychiatric problems in college students. The article said that impotence is an increasing problem due to increasing pressure on college men for sexual performance.

Math J . Dassinger also testified for the resolution stating that "all rules have been removed" under the new dorm policy. " Peer pressure often forces students into activities which are morally wrong ."

Dassinger recommended a warning be included in the new university catalogs stating that the school accepts no responsi­bility for the student's behavior. "Your daughter may spend the night with any student she chooses or even someone from off the street" was a portion of the proposed warning .

Finding the regulation at the state colleges and universities unsatisfactory, Dassinger said he was forced to send his daughter to Oral Roberts Univer­sity.

The station manager of KGCX radio in Sidney cited visitation abuses while he was a student at the University of North Dakota. He said he spent two years at a military academy adding, "I much prefer the atmosphere there ...

Patsy Wegner. MSU Residence Halls Program Coordinator. gave the com­mittee written copies of MSU Residence Halls Regulations She outlined the programming concept in which various activities for men and women are planned in the halls. Also emphasized was the optional choice system whereby students choose their own visitation hours by selecting from among various living environments.

Kim Rackley, a Resident Advisor in Hedges South, testified against the resolution citing the improved atmosphere in a coed hall. Among other observations he said, "Coed residence halls establish an environment in which men and women may interact and form friendships outside the context of dating."

Also giving testimony against the resolution were Linda Fritsche, President of Hedges South, and Bruce Nelson, a lobbv.ist hired by MSU, Um, and EMC.

Members of the committee had several questions and comments after the testimony was given.

Senator Ann Seibel (D­Bozeman) asked how many rapes had occurred in coed halls . Glenn Lewis, MSU Director of On Campus Living, stated that none had been reported. Seibel also asked Dassinger to give the source of a quotation he read in his testimony.

"Opinion magazine,' he answered.

"Who puts that out, .. asked Seibel.

" Its a publication of the John Birch Society, " answered Dassinger.

Senator Thiessen was asked for scientific or quantifiable evidence on the detrimental effect of coed halls. He said that all he had was already given in his opening statement .

Senator Margaret Warden (D­Great Falls) said she resented Thiessen's implication that those residing in coed halls are decadent. She said her daughter had lived in a coed hall at UM and that she would not consider her or her friends from school decadent.

Thiessen responded, "Of course, maybe you don't consider proiscuity decadent ...

Warden answered, "I believe the dictionary defines it as that ."

Senator Frank Dunkle (R­Helena) said he has two children that have lived in coed halls at both UM and MSU . He said that he hoped he had raised them so that they could use their own judgment by the time they were of college age.

Women's Collegiate basketball tournament • 1n adion at Rosary HS Montana State ends its home

basketball season this weekend against two of the top three teams 1n the Big Sky Conference, Idaho State and Boise State.

The Bobcats and ISU Bengals will tip-off at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Taking the fieldhouse court at 9:30 will be the Bozeman Hawks and Butte High Bulldogs.

On Saturday at 8 p.m. MSU will play Boise State.

The MSU junior varsity will play two games this weekend. meeting lethbridge Junior College at 4:45 p.m. Friday and again at 5:45 p.m. Saturday.

The Bobcats lost to ISU and Boise last weekend, but hope to turn the tables on them this week, just as they did recently against a pa ir of other Sig Sky foes, Idaho and Gonzaga. After losing on the road to the Vandals and Zags, the Bobcats re tu rned to the fieldhouse and defeated both teams.

"We have a chance to w in

both games," MSU coach Rich Juarez said.

" Against Idaho State, we'll have to do a much better job against Steve Hayes. We must keep him from getting too many high percentage shots."

At Poatello Hayes scored 41 points . He was 17-of-29 from the field and seven-for-eight at the foul line. He pulled down 19 rebounds .

Juarez indicated that the Bobcats ' 6-11 sophomore , Bruce Smith, will see a lot of action against the 7-0 Hayes. Juarez said Smith " did a pretty good job on Hayes" the second half at Pocatello.

Boise, w ith five players in double figures , has more balance than Idaho State. The Bobcats' fa iled to control the game's tempo at Bo ise (Boise won 105-92), someth ing Juarez wi ll attempt to change th is week. He didn 't want to get in a run ­and-shoot game w ith the speedy Broncos.

Both ISU and Boise are in solid contention for the Big Sky t itle . Montana's Grizzlies lead the league with a 9-1 mark, with Idaho State a close second at7-2 and Boise State third at 6 -3 . MSU is 3-7 in the conference.

A loss at the fieldhouse would severely dampen title hopes for either ISU or Boise.

Juarez is undecided about his starting lineup, though 6-7 Rusty Smith is certain to be at a

New handball-racketball policy goes into effect

By Mike Patterson

Handba ll and racqu etball have become so popular at MSU that a new policy w ill go into effect, starti ng Feb. 15th.

Handball and racquetball players must sign up in person at the intramurals office in Romney Gym to reserve courts. No more reservations by phone will be allowed. The office will be open at 7·30 a.m.

The person reserving the court may do so the day prior to the day of play and his partner must sign before 4:30 p.m. of the day prior to play. If both partners do not sign up by 4:30 p.m .• the court is declared open and persons can then sign up for that court as an open court. either after5 :00 p.m. on the day prior t o play or on the actua l day of play.

For Mondays, sign-up is on the day of play and both partners must sign up by 11 :00 a.m. To signup, players must appear in person and present a student l.D. card or afacultyfee payment card. Any court that is still open ten minutes after the hour play is to commence, will be declared an open court. All reservations will be on a first~me, first­served basis . No more student and faculty designated courts at prime times will be allowed.

Reservations are still limited to twice a week for students and faculty. This policy change will help eliminate abuses which aid some people in playing four and five times a week while others cannot get reservations at all.

A new policy covering weekend and holiday scheduling of handball, racquetball and tennis courts will also go into

effect Feb. 15th. Signup sheets w ill be posted in the Intramural Equipment Room in the H & PE Center, when the bu ilding opens each Saturday, Sunday and holiday, and people may signup for the hour they prefe r.

Courts change hands on the hour and play is still for one hour duration. Any court unoccupied at 110 minutes after the hour 1s declared open.

Two courts will be reserved for handball (111 amdll2), and two courts for racquetball (114 and 115) The fifth court (113), can be used for either handball or racquetball at the choice of those who have it reserved. This change is due to extremely heavy demand for racquetball reservations, often amounting to triple and quadruple the demand for handball courts.

According to Mr. Dobbie Lambert, head of lntramurals at MSU, 10courtswere includedin the plans for the new H & PE Complex. But. because 1 / 4 of the appropriations were lost to inflation, the number of courts was cut to 5. Lambert said, "About 100 women presently play racquetball and 500 men play handball."

Five more courts may soon become a reality if students are willing to pass a bill that would ensure the building of the courts.

"The courts receive their maximum usage during the winter months," said Lambert. At present several handball and racquetball tournaments are scheduled. Also beginning next quarter classes in racquetball will be offered to all interested students.

Rifle team takes 2nd and 3rd in Wash.

The MSU rifle team, f iring last w e ekend i n th e h ighl y competitive meet hosted by Eas tern W ashi ngton Stat e College at Cheney, took second in the National Rifle Associa­tion three-position category and third in International Shooting Union competition.

First places in both categories went to Cheney teaons . There

were 12 teams in the inter­colleg iate meet.

Top marksman fo r MSU was Bob Wrigh t of Great Falls, second high individual with an aggregate score of 560 out of 600.

Fieldhouse: No pool, students get soaked anyway Part One of Two Articles

By Dennis Brosten The MSU Fieldhouse has

proven useful for a number of large campus gatherings but its history is not as rosy as the Office of Information leads people to believe. Sold to students as a multi-use facility, a number of design drawbacks prevent it from fulfilling the original hopes and promises.

Poor acoustical qualit ies are a major problem at concerts and lectures The basketball floor takes several days to remove and assemble, causing scheduling problems when other events are planned. The arena is too small for football and apparently not desirable for track as no conference meets have been held here since Gatton Field and its track were razed in 1972.

' Many current and former student representatives feel that MSU students have not been given fair treatment in the financing , planning . con­struction, and operation of Physical Education facil ities .

Students as a group are "easily baited and misled," according to a student who was involved in the stadium lawsuit in 1971 . 'While students had needed and desired a new health and physical education center since 1955, they were led into financing facilities that

·were mainly for the benefit of varsity football and basketball," stated Michael Yeager. a former Student Senator at MSU.

'With a near total turn-over every four years students don't realize the promises that have been made concerning PE facilities. "

He compared the history of the 1955 Exponent stated, "The desirable cultural and social Physical Education Center PE building program to the fable present gymnasium is already programs forthe college and the Building Use Fee to be levied on in which a donkey is deceived badly crowded at certain public community.

In short, Mr. Copping said, the Intercollegiate Athletic program and the redemption of the Field ­house bonds must be viewed as a joint responsibility.

In the spring of 1967, the alumni, in conjunction with other " friends of the univer­sity," planned a new stadium for MSU and later began a f und drive to raise revenue. The administration later approached the students to put up one ha If of the three quarter million dollar project cost.

On Dec. 12. 1968, the students voted down this proposal by a vote of 1,609 to 1,543. The majorreason thatthe students turned this project down was that they wanted the Health and Physical Education Center to be constructed rather than a new stadium.

Within six weeks of the student turndown of the stadium, plans were announced to build a health and PE center on the site occupied by the football stadium, -Gatton Field. The original plans for the wings

The followin(I is a brief account of how the students involved in the 1971 lawsuit view the history of PE facilities at MSU:

From 1957 until 1968 the on the Fieldhouse had been abandoned.

The MSU Fieldhouse was originally conceived as a "complete health and physical education center. " The insert in the April 15, 1955 Exponent was headlined "Health and Physical Education Center at MSC." Compiled by Student Senate . Exponent, and Administration , it said that the completed project would include:

1) needed staff offices 2) four classrooms 3) facilities for wrestling,

gymnastics, handball, and tennis J ,.

4) a swimming pool { 42 x 75 ft.)

5) a main arena (200 x 360 ft.) for basketb.all, rodeos, little international (a livestock show), and similar events ~ and exhibitions, as well as concerts. and lectures;

additions to the Fieldhouse were consistently promised to the students, with newspaper articles and other communica­tions informing the students that a $600,000 addition would be built from generated Fieldhouse funds. The plan for the addition was further announced in Space for the Seventies, prepared for the 1969 Montana Legislative Assembly as outline of MSU's building plans.

By 1961 fees and generated income were insufficient for meeting Fieldhouse bond commitments, requiring that a portion of the athletic budget be used to make the payments. In the bonding agreement a S5.00 per quarter athletic fee had been pledged as a reserve fund if the S4/ quarter Fieldhouse fee proved insufficient.

RPN logic system. Here' what this unique logic <ystem means for you: • You can evaluate any expression without

copying parentheses, worrying about hierar­chies or re-structuring beforehand.

• You can solve all problems your way-the way you now use when you use a slide rule.

• You solve all problems-no matter how com­plex-one step at a time. You never work with more than two numbers at once.

• You see all intennediate answers immediately. The HP-21 execute each function immedi­ately after you press the function key.

• You can easily backtrack when you err. The I IP-21 performs all operations sequentially.

• You can re-use numbers without re-enterin!( them. The HP-21 becomes your scratch pad.

H-P quality craftsmanship. One reason Nobel Prize winners, astronauts, conquerors of Ever­est, America 's Cup navigators and over 500,000 other professionals own H P calculators.

Your bookstore will give you a demonstra· tion today. Challenge our new HP-21 with your problems. See for yourself how much per­formance $125.00' can buy. If your bookstore doesn't have the HP-21 yet, call us at 800-538-7922 (in Calif. 800-662-9862) for the name of a dealer who does.
