SOUTH DAKOTA'S Federation of Student Associations met in Pierre, Jan. 25, with representatives from state and private colleges and univer-sities in attendance. A highlight of the semi-annual meet was the appear-ance of Governor Nils Boe. The FSA met informally Thursday, afternoon and discussed problems con-cerning higher education in the state. Problems ranged from individual cam-pus issues to state wide trouble spots in education. Among the items discussed, the campus representatives questioned the South Dakota ruling that members of the Board of Regents cannot come from counties in which a state in-stitution of higher learning is located. Another topic for debate was the ruling that prohibits administration and faculty members of colleges from running for public office without first resigning their position. FSA mem-bers debated the possibility and fea-sibility of establishing a minimum ed-ucation limit on members of the Board of Regents. During the meeting the represen-tatives resolved to set as an organi-zational goal the support and im-provement of higher education in South Dakota. Organizational plans were discussed which involved the coordination of state and private in-stitutions throughout the state. The next FSA meeing was set for April 20. Students attending the meet from Northern State College were: Chuck Strasburg, Student Senate President; Cal Cooper, Vice-president; John Biegler, Student Senator; and Randy Howell, Exponent editor. The group was accompanied by Don Vogt, Di-rector of Student Personnel. The representatives talked inform-ally with the president of the Board of Regents, Charles Burke and through a question and answer debate, a num-ber of pressing questions were an-swered. Burke explained the Regents' feel-ings on duplication of curriculum and stated that the "lack of oommunioa- The Cover Girl Contest winner will appear in the Feb. 22 issue of the Exponent and will be entered in the Minneapolis Tribune Cover Girl Con-test this spring.

Drop the entry blank in Box 805 no later than noon Feb. 8. The Cover Girl Contest was slated for Feb. 15, on the SAC calendar. Due to circumstantances beyond our control the Exponent staff has been forced to move the date of the con-test to the Feb. 22 issue. Semifinal judging will be done Feb. 8-9, with the five finalists appearing in the Feb. 15 issue. tion" is perhaps the greatest problem that exists among the institutions, and between these colleges and the Board of Regents. He explained that the major con-cern of the Regents is to attempt to see that monies are distribued in an equitable fashion to the institutions. The crisis in education brought up the question of limiting enrollments in the South Dakota institutions. Burke stated that he felt the limiting of enrollments would reverse its own purpose by focusing attention on the lack of expansion facilities in higher education in the state. Burke talked about student hous-ing and the possibility of encourag-ing private dormitories for student housing, especially for married stu-dents. Despite its shortcomings, Burke pointed out the merit in the selection GOVERNOR NiLs Boe spoke to members of the Federation of Student Associations at their semi-annual meeting in Pierre Jan. 25. Boe expressed optimism in the pro-gress of higher education in South Dakota and stated that he was "very happy to see the teachers in Pierre." The teachers of South Dakota met in the Capitol to lobby for more state aid to education and the supporting action worked well with the meeting of the FSA. Boe expressed a desire to see that the State of South Dakota becomes a functioning economic unit. He ex-plained the problems concerning state aid to education and reminded the FSA'ers that this is not the only problem that faces South Dakotans. The Federal cut in highway funds was another point of concern for the governor as he explained the need for better transportation and com-munication in South Dakota if it is to function as the economic unit. "We are making progress!" Boe declared, "And we're not trying to SAC, Gypsy STUDENT SENATE convened for the first meeting of the second se-mester Jan. 30, with eight members present. Much of the action was de-layed until more of the members could be present. Cal Cooper, vice-president presided over the meeting in the absence of Student Senate Prsident, Chuck Strasberg. The Social Affairs Committee and the Gypsy Day Committee recom-mended students to act as assistant chairmen of their committees. Wilma of Regents members from counties not housing state institutions. He in-dicated favoring a compromising se-lection program where these counties would have limited representation on the Board. Before the conference adjourned, the FSA representatives agreed to meet second semester with a tenta-tive date set for April 20. The repre-sentatives divided into committees for drawing up a constitution, establish-ing a newsletter service, and solicit-ing membership from every state and private college in South Dakota. The members also discussed future policies and goals, expressing a need for action on problems concerning student government, publications, communications, student housing, and academic freedom as well as social freedom. impress everyone with the idea that we've got the best — but we're cer-tainly not the worst and we're mak-ing it better!" Boe commented on the welfare problem in South Dakota, and ended his talk on an optimistic note con-cerning the future of South Dakota. He explained that the biggest prob-lem in the State is the fact that prices have climbed the inflation spiral and wages have not. Despite this he in-dicated that South Dakota is a rela-tively young state and that within the next ten years the economy of this state is going to grow at an unbe-lievable rate. Concerned with the "out-migration" of young people in South Dakota, Boe reminded the group that if it wasn't for the educational system in the state those young people wouldn't be equipped to leave the state and work for the improvement of a nation. He also noted that a number of profes-sional people are entering South Da-kota for economic reasons and that this is indeed an encouraging point. Coins, SAC co-chairman recommend-ed Lois Tunheim, Langford junior, and Student Senate accepted the recommendation. Lois will preside as assistant chairman of the Social Af-fairs Committee the remaining term and then take over the chief job for 1968-69. Steve McBride, 1988 Gypsy Day chairman, and Joanne Glasow, Gypsy Day Business Manager, presented the names of the students considered for the assistant posts of the Gypsy Day committee. Senate voted Mike Bab-cock as the assistant chairman and Corinne Aaker as the assistant bus-iness manager. Mike and Corinne will then head the Gypsy Day committee for 1989. Cooper brought up the issue of two vacant Senate positions. Former Nor-them Senators, Jack King and Rory King, have transferred colleges leav-ing two seats to be filled. Now de-finite action was taken by the ruling body, but the members discussed methods of filling the vacant posi-tions. Among the methods brought up was an election and the procedure of appointing two students. The Sen-ators also discussed using the two candidates that were the next highest in the Student Senate elections held at the beginning of the fall semester. A decision on this issue will be made at the next meeting. The main portion of the Senate meeting was devoted to suggestions and discussions for action during the second semester. Questions were rais-ed concerning methods of registration, teacher evaluation, and procedures of student teaching. Jo Opsahl, Senate secretary, brought up the idea of a study day scheduled before semester tests. This day would allow the srn-dents to study for tests without inter-ruptions of classes or tests. Senators also considered he proposal of ap-pointing a student to assist the ad-ministration in preparing the semester test schedule. The Social Affairs Committee re-ported that there would be a delay in the distribution of the SAC calen-dar due to changes at the press. Campus leaders question state policy Boe backs SoDak economy
