Bede ballroom gets facelift Randy Demers Staff Writer

Bede Hall was built in 1920 and it is about time for remodeling.

The second floor of Bede, or the "ballroom" as most students call it, is in the process of being remodeled. Light fIXtures and woodwork in Bede haven't been replaced or worked on since the building opened.

The project has been in the planning since early 1991 with the expected completion date scheduled for this fall.

Funds for the remodeling come from student fees set aside from 1971 to 1980. The money has built interest over the. years. From 1981 to the present the student fees have been set aside for up-keep of Bede and the purchase of new furniture and equipment.

The renovation of the ballroom will include: • painting the walls with a "sponge" paint pattern, • rewiring the building, • adding two ceiling fans in addition to the existing fans,

• installing smoke blinds on the windows facing south and sconce lights on the walls, • reftnishing the hard wood floor, • taking the china closet from the cafeteria and placing it along the east wall of Bede, • and painting the beams.

Designs for the Bede Hall remodeling were arrived at through a committee made up of UMC faculty, staff and students.

UMC 4-year plan gets nod from Hasselmo

University of Minnesota President, Nils Hasselmo announced in early May that he'll recommend to the Board of Regents that the Crookston campus be expanded from a two-year to a four-year school.

T h e p l a n t o a d d baccalaureate degrees was p r o p o s e d b y U M C's administration and would include expansion of the campus' main programs agriculture, natural resources, hospitality and business administration.

The expansion would be made by increasing class sizes, hiring more faculty members, and using the interactive television classes.

For the expansion to succeed, UMC would need to increase the number of full­time students from 850 to 1,150 by 1997. The additional costs of hiring new faculty, etc. would then be paid for from the additional tuition.

Hasselmo already made the recommendation to the Board of Regents. UMC is looking for the Regents to vote on the question in July.

Tribute to Chad Field Staff Writer

For those of us who knew Mike Miller, we realize our great loss with his death - at the Crookston airport, UMC, and the world.

This tribute is not intended to invoke tears, however. It is simply a chance for us to remember a man who had a very profound effect on the lives of all who came in contact with this man of great experience.

Many people say they what they will remember most about Mike is his subtle, yet funny sense of humor. But that's not all he will be remembered for.

page 2

a friend As Larry Leake, assistant

professor in Aviation at UMC put it: "Mike was an exceptionally good mechanic and pilot. He was not afraid to tackle any job, and you could always depend on him to get the job done right."

For myself and many of the other pilots who fly here at UMC, knowing that Mike was in the hanger maintaining the airplanes we fly, was very reassuring when cruising in these planes at 4,000 feet. Well miss you, Mike.

Local woman speaks on goal-setting Dirk Kurpiers Staff Writer

Setting goals should be considered a task, not a project of performance, according to Robin Silverman of Grand Forks, N.D.

Silverman, a co-owner of Silverman's in Grand Forks and a writer for the Grand Forks Herald came to UMC to speak to students of the Management and Marketing Association and Fashion Club.

She spoke to UMC students on the many differences between goals and deadlines giving the following pieces of advice: • Goals should be looked at as a process a person goes' through as they doing a task -they should not considered a project of a performance.

• For every goal a person achieves they should reward themselves - the size of the reward should depend on the size of goal achieved.

.

• Goals should be what you want not what other people want for you. • Deadlines are as important as goals. They should be set in order to achieve your goals. These deadlines do. not have to be permanent and can be reset at any time. • A deadline is set as a matter of self-respect and satisfaction. It should also be set according to your pace, if you feel things need to be done quickly - then match your pace to this goal .

Getting started is the hard part, according to Silverman. She suggests these steps as a help:

1. Make goals. 2. Break these goals down into steps. 3. Give each step a deadline. 4. Keep a journal to keep track of each step taken. 5. Take a small step at first (reward yourself). 6. Keep taking steps until you reach your ultimate goal, being sure that you reward yourself for each goal achieved along the way. 7. Keep a me to maintain all the information you've collected along the way (for future use).

Silverman, a married, mother of two, volunteers for many committees and writes several books.

Flo talks Turkey, Joe knows Zambia

Lyle ,Lee Staff Writer

The following is an interview with freshman UMC student, Fulya ("Flo") Karagulle.

Q. Flo, I saw you perfonn in the UMC musical, ''Leader of the Pack". Did you do much stage work while growing up in Turkey? A. In high school I was in a play called "Village Story."

Butler is good looking. And, I think the movie provides some good lessons in life. I also like it because it is old fashioned and from a different time period. It was the first classic American movie I had ever seen.

Q. How do Turkish films compare? A. They are always the same story line - poor boy and rich girl fall in love and their fathers are against it.

Q. Can you clear up a mystery on everyone's mind? Are there any turkeys in Turkey? A. Yes. Believe it or not, the name of my country, Turkey, was created long before there were any turkeys there.

Q. What are some obvious differences between America and Zambian lifestyles? A. The dress of women. There are no see-through dresses or mini-skirts in Zambia. The women there dress very conservatively.

I want to thank all the faculty members for all of their help, especially Mario Prada. I want to thank Marsha, and Matt

Myrold for being my family while I am away from home. And I want to thank Mary and Mark Schmidt.

- RA's: Who knew? Michelle Runyon Staff Writer

. On Thursday, April 16, at 1 p.m. twenty students received letters containing their destiny for next school year.

That's right! The new RA.'s for '92-'93 have been chosen. They include: Nathan Benesh, Kris Hopperstad, Lyle Lee, Michelle Runyon, Deanna Usher, Jody Warner, Darin Bredman (Assistant Senior RA.), and James Dirkes (Senior RA.).

These elite few were chosen after hours of interviews and contemplation by: Gary Willhite, Director of Residential Life; Andrew Svec,Assistant Director of Residential Life' and Leslie McLaughlin, Senior RA. The list was then

'revi�wed

by Dr. Nelson. So you're saying "So what? All they are is a b�nch of

snobs who only want to get me in trouble." Speaking from an insider's point of view I assu�e you

this is not the case. ' RA.'s not only have a job to keep order in the

residence halls - they also have school work, classes to attend, a 2.0 G.P A. to keep up, friends to socialize with clubs and activities to take part in - in short they have a lif� of their own.

RA.'s sign a contract to lJPhold all the rules. If they slack off on these Tules, chaos could occur.

Because being an RA. also means staying up until 2 or 3 a.m. while still attending that 8 a.m. class. They must always set a good example and obey the rules themselves.

They are under-paid and it is impossible to live on such pay. And lastly, they tend to make more enemies than friends.

So why would anyone in their right mind want to be an RA.?! For the growth experience, the respect obtained from peers, and for making positive things happen on the UMC campus for all students.

Attitudes & Opinions Distribution of student fees needs rethinking Heidi Runyon Editor

Where the hell does all the money go that we, as students, dish out in the form of student "service" fee?

This issue has been brought up time and time again here on the UMC campus, and none of us has ever really gotten a straight answer.

The whole issue seems like a mystery to most. We just simply line up at the Business Office window each quarter and write out an enormous check that leaves a gaping hole in our pocketbooks and a gigantic lump in our throats.

Later, when we want to buy books for the quarter or a six­pack for Saturday night and our checkbooks are depleted of all funds, we wonder where all the money went.

Most of us know tuition and room and board take the blame for a majority of the quarterly schooling bills. But what about that $65.30 student service fee which is paid by students taking six or more credits each quarter?

For 1991-92 this adds up to about $143,660 plus $3,432 for the one-time yearbook fee ($4 per year per student). This makes for a grand total of $147,092 of so-called "mystery money" (see chart).

The next and perhaps most pressing question is whether or not this student money is divided up fairly.

Take a look at the measly $4,400 clubs and organizations received for the 1991-92 school year. This is a small amount of money to be divided among UMC's 17 official clubs and organizations, involving a high percentage of the student body. There's practically a club for e v e r y o n e - - f r o m C a m p u s Ministry to Ag Industries to the Fashion Club to the University Singers. These are just a few.

Now compare that $4,400 to the $66,000 that the varsity athletics departments received this year--that's $61,600 more­t h a n t h e c l ul>s a n d organizations received. I think you'll agree that this is fairly

Ignorance. for the 90 S! Matt Myrold Staff Writer

Are you constantly getting the shaft or a raw deal? Do people make fun of you because of what you wear, or how

you talk, walk or look? Well, its high time that you stick up for yourself and your

rights. What I am talking about is a "new and improved" prejudice.

Ignorance now goes beyond just gender and race. Not all of us are comfortably walking with the "norm" of

society. People need to be more open to change. We supposedly live in such an "open" society and yet if we

stand out even a little, we are considered freaks. It's the person, not the look, that is important. If you want to

criticize or make fun of someone, first think about that person and ask yourself, is it worth making someone feel like utter s * *t, just so you can get a thrill or a couple of chuckles from your buddies?

I think not. Yet people do it everyday. Why? You're either stupid or just misinformed. At any rate, it's

wrong and very inconsiderate. One less rude remark would make this world a better place. All I ask is that you stop and think before you hack on someone.

ISSUE: Genger war still POINT:

Michelle Runyon Staff Writer

Nixon. Stalin. Hitler. Hussein.

All four names bring a chill to the spine and a distasteful feeling of mistrust to the mind.

All four are leaders of the world. All four remembered for their disgusting feats in life.

And, all four of them - men! Men - rough, tough, violent

and easily angered by nature. Yet, we, the people of the world, consistently vote men with ill-tempered natures to rule the world.

Now, you're saying, "But they don't mess things up." Bolony! Well, let's take a walk down History Lane and see just how much they have botched things up.

We . all know about Nixon and all the Kennedy Scandals from the '60s and the continuing scandals today.

COUNTERPOINT:

Lyle Lee Staff Writer

Now that the world seems to be stabilizing, and the threat of a nuclear holocaust appears to be merely a ghost engulfed by the tides of history, I wonder if anyone, particularly any radical feminists, and, perhaps, even a few uptight members of the ladies' auxiliary, are still clinging to the old cliche' "if women were running the world ... "?

Imagine a world in which all the heads-of-state were chaired by women. Now imagine how far civilization would have progressed during the course of history under the reign of women.

It is, in fact nearly impossible to fathom any type of productive world community existing under such a setting. It may be true that women would make exceptional diplomats since they are quite capable of wearing more than one face, a definite requirement needed for the fme art of diplomacy. B u t

But let's take a look at a less obvious situation. Reagan and Gorbachev. Both were great leaders of the two power countries. But what did they do? They built an arms race so huge that at one time the V.S. possessed enough nuclear missiles to destroy the earth's population seven times.

During this nuclear build-up, the Soviet people barely had the bare necessities for life. The

what exactly could they, as world leaders, expect to accomplish during the course of international parleying?

Take for example, a very heakd confrontation involving the distribution of weaporlry to client states to use against ...

Wait a second. Scratch that. Since women are peaceful by nature, there would, obviously, be no need for Superpowers to supply their weaker allies with

Wait one more second. Superpowers? Because women are so compassionate by nature, a distinction of strength between individual nations would not exist.

H o l d y o u r h o r s e s . "I n d i v i d u a l " n a t i o n s ?

B e c a u s e w o m e n a r e communal b y nature, they would, obviously, establish a single, world government based on the premise that all women are created ...

. ragIng after, all these years

V.S. was cutting back on the education and social security budget. And I've only named a

few. All this chaos and power­tripping was done from the souls of 'men'.

So let's look at the characteristics of women. Good nurturers, understanding, high endurance level and, well,

Just another cotton-pickin' minute. Government?! Since women are generally apolitical by nature, I can't imagine women trying to control the flow of free trade with !aws and regulations.

In other words, I don't really believe women would have an interest in politics when there are other more important things to concern themselves with, like beauty shop appointments and new outfits.

This is not to suggest that we, men, don't have similar priorities; for, in fact, we do. Such as waxing the BMW or picking up that brand new pitching wedge. But this merely represents the crux of my stance - that both men and women, but mostly women, can fmd far better things to do than waste their energies on the affairs of state. Or can they?

page 5

you get the picture. Just think of your mother and how wonderful she is.

Who, except a woman, has the nurturing and caring instincts needed to take care of people? Who knows more about the

needs of people, especially children, than a woman? Ruling a country is taking care of its people and not trying to see how much damage can be done.

It's time 'men' stepped down and let the women straighten up the whole mess. That's what women do anyway, straighten the mess that 'men' create. Right?

IHasta la vista! Matt Myrold Editor

The end of the school year is coming fast, and along with it our last issue. With our last issue concludes a year of hard work and countless hours of tedious labor.

I would like to thank Andrew Svec and Jean Antelman for all they contributed, without them we could never of made it. They are the backbone of the paper. . .

I'd also like to thank Robert Nelson for glVmg us the opportunity to start up a �MC stude�t newspaper again. We have accomplished a lot this year and hopefully it will continue through the coming years.

The paper provides an excellent chance for students to express important issues we see and deal with here on the campus. Without the Fourth Estate, some things may go unnoticed.

For all returning students or even those transferring to another institution, I encourage you to get involved in the newspaper or many of the other student activities - remember, you can makes things happen. Without you, education goes nowhere.

Before I say goodbye, I want to thank a few very influential people that have affected me while I was here:

• All of the custodial people. This select few are some of the nicest people I know and have had the privilege to talk to.

• Collette Conati for keeping me sane the past two years and for being there when I needed to talk.

• Maxine Rassmussen for believing in me. • Dr. Sharon Neet for constantly pushing me and

making me prove myself. • Bertha Hsiao for always checking up on me to

make sure I was doing well. • All of the Bede Hall workers for everythin� -

especially Kelly for typing on such short notIce (thanks Smiley).

• A special thanks to all of my instructors who put up with all my s**t.

And just two more special thank you's: First to Muriel Roley, who was always there to

take care of my boo-boo's and put a smile on my face when I was down - you're wonderful.

And last, but certainly not least, Gary Marshall, who is leaving us after this quarter. I thank you for all that you have done for me, my writ�g and my life' I will greatly miss you. Good luck With all that yo� do. Peace and travel on, my friend.

year In reVIew

Flying C lub The UMC Flying Club

started off the year with the election of officers. These officers then took their places and organized the club's first activity - the annual cleaning of the ditches.

The Flying Club deans two miles of ditches on either side of Highway 75 running next to the airport north of town. This is part of the "Adopt a H i g h w a y" p r o g r a m i n Minnesota.

The club's first activity was a fund raiser. They raised money by coordinating the 14th annual Red River Valley Arts & Crafts Show.

Winter quarter rolled along and the club held their official Installation of Officers and I n i t i a t i o n o f M e m b e r s Ceremony and had a Christmas social at the white house before Christmas break.

.� ,

During winter quarter, two groups of club members and instructors decided to follow the example set by the ducks and geese, so they flew south for about a week to get away from the cold weather. One group went to Florida over

The club coordinated the UMC-Downtown Holiday Shopping spree with the Fashion Club and retail merchants in Crookston.

Several of the club members L.-_______________________________ � _ _.J

Christmas break and the other group went to Arizona during spring break. Yet another small group flew to Oshkosh, Wise. , to visit the aviation museum there.

The next event that the flying club participated in during winter quarter was the annual hockey-ball tournament held around Snow-Daze.

Spring quarter the club organized and hosted a dance at the Crookston Civic Arena.

The fmal major event of the year was the annual "fl y-in/drive-in" pancake breakfast held at the airport.

Dan Lund, a club member, said the breakfast was a great success.

"There were so many airplanes there that we were running out of places to park them!," said Lund.

M a rke t i n g & Ma nagement C lub

T h e M a r k e t i n g a n d Management club had a very busy year, beginning in the fall with their membership drive and pizza party.

Once the club collected most of the members for the year they held another meeting doubling as an ice cream social to plan the events for the year.

assisted with Competitive Events Day in January and with Business Activities Day in February. The last event for winter quarter was the State DECA Career Development Conference in Duluth, which many of the club members participated in.

In the spring, the members who qualified at the State DECA Conference were then able to attend the National DECA Conference in Anaheim , Calif., in the beginning of May.

Also in the spring the club attended a Professional DeVelopment meeting with Robin Silverman speaking on "Goal Setting".

The club ended their busy year with the Spring Social and Awards Ceremony on May 13th.

Ag Industries The Ag Industries Club got

off to somewhat of a late start this year.

During winter quarter several of the 15 or so members participated in a field trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba. T h e r e t h e y v i s i t e d Ford/Versatile, the Canadian Grain Exchange, and the Wahale ethanol plant.

Also during winter quarter the club hosted the Ag Industry Show here at UMC.

Spring quarter brought with it another field trip, sponsored by Cenex. This time the trip was a week-end get away to

Minneapolis. The club was also the host

for the blood drive held on campus in the late spring.

University Singers This is the one and only

choir here at UMC this year! Consisting of around 20 members (this number fluctuated throughout the year)

. the group rehearses every day under the direction of George French.

The choir performs two to three concerts a year and sings regularly at the student convocations held every quarter.

In addition, the choir performs at several banquets and meetings held by other organizations, and at graduation in the spring.

Also in the spring the group is rewarded for all their hard work by being able to take a trip to some exotic place. This year the choir visited Winnipeg, Manitoba for a week-end, stopping and performing in seve-ral high schools on the way there.

While in Winnipeg the group attended an opera, sang at a shopping center, and at a church on Sunday morning before returning home that afternoon ..

UMC Student New spaper

The Fourth E state This "club", if you care to

call it that, has just completed it's first year as an active part ofUMC.

The idea, and later the activity of starting a school newspaper was greeted with a great deal of excitement by many students and staff members. This excitement continued and was carried over into the first issue, which came out in the middle of fall quarter.

As the year progressed the interest in the paper grew and there were two more issues sent to the presses and delivered to all the wonderful students here at UMC.

Now the time has come for the last issue of the year, so to end this little "club" report, the writers and advisors, Andrew Svec and Jean Antelman, would

like to say a big thank-you to all their readers and supporters throughout the year.

Also they wish to put a little plug in for anyone who has an interest in writing or being a part of next year's staff - come on down! See ya' next year!

Writers' notes: We would like to apologize to any club we failed to represent in this report, we tried to contact as many club representatives as we could. Thank-you for your support.

For a complete list of officers and advisor( s) for each club, see the 1991-92 Student Organizational Directory available in Bede Hall.
