Xt t 1111 Volume 75 Issue 8 Northern State College — Aberdeen, South Dakota 57401 October 23, 1975 DeZonia proposes Northern name change by Joani Nelson Northern's name may be changed to the University of Northern South Dakota as the result of a recent staff report presented to the Board of Regents last Thursday by Com-missioner of Higher Education Dr. Robert DeZonia. The Northern name change, which is a major aspect of Dr. DeZonia's proposal to reorganize the seven state colleges into a single univeristy system, will be considered by the seven Regents at their November meeting. "The South Dakota University System" would be the title of the proposed system. Dr. DeZonia's proposal includes four major programs. The first would combine the University of South Dakota and its branches at Springfield and Madison. Dr. DeZonia commented, "The administrative savings, and ef-ficiencies and above all — the programmatic flexibilities of the three-campus University of South Dakota provide affirmative evidences of' merger' of Dakota State College, USD-S and USD-V for administrative purposes." Second, South Dakota State University would retain its present status as a separate university. Third, Dr. DeZonia's proposal would provide that the administration of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and Black Hills State College be focused under a single president of a University of Western South Dakota. Fourth, under a single university system, Northern would be designated as the University of Northern South Dakota. In suggesting that Northern be considered a university in its own right, DeZonia said, "Northern is too remote from other campuses to consider branching it, besides which it is a comprehensive institution with graduate offerings and thus merits by Joani Nelson The sunroom in Lincoln Hall may be the site of all future art shows and may possibly represent the end of last year's controversy over whether art shows should be shown in the Johnson Fine Arts Center. Although plans are only in the preliminary stage, President Norbert Baumgart and Dr. Lester Clarke, vice-president and dean of academic affairs, are presently looking favorably on a proposal by James Gibson, chairman of the art depart-ment, to make the sunroom into an art gallery. The sunroom is being vacated on January 1, 1976, by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), which has been using it as a resource center for in-service educational programs. The major problem facing Dr. Baumgart and Dr. Clarke is whether enough funds will be available to finance remodeling the sunroom into a room suitable for displaying art shows. Gibson is presently developing preliminary blueprints for the new art gallery, and if all goes well, the three hope to have the sunroom ready for art shows by next fall. separate consideration as a university." However, Dr. DeZonia emphasized in presenting the proposal that "no major shifts in institutional missions are contemplated." He said the main reasons he proposed the single university system was to obtain 'improved efficiency and economy, Diversity, specialization and better by Scott Mayer Improving health services at colleges and universities was the general topic under discussion at the 37th annual meeting of the North Central College Health Association. Three delegates from Northern: Carol Wahl, Aberdeen junior; Sara Zulk, Sioux Falls junior; and Steve Stahl, Mellette senior; attended the two-day conference held October 16- 17 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Ms. Zulk is the com-missioner of housing and student services, while Ms. Wahl and Stahl are members of the Student Health Advisory Board. College delegates from a four-state area heard several authorities speak on various topics concerning health services. These seminars included the areas of "Sexual Manifesto for Young People," "Gynecological Problems of College Gibson is enthusiastic about the possibility of obtaining the sunroom. He commented, "I'm satisfied that the problem of where students may hang their art is being taken care of, and that the proposal to use the sunroom has been favorably received by President Baumgart and Dr. Clarke." "The sunroom would make a nice art gallery," according to Gibson, who pointed out the advantages of the proposal. "First," he said, "the new gallery would provide an op-portunity for studenti to have receptions along with their art shows." He explained that this is not possible now, with the second floor of Dacotah Hall, the fireside lounge in -the Student Union and the Newman Center being used for displaying art shows. He added that the sunroom boasts of large windows, a fireplace and a small kitchen, all of which could be used to make art shows more enjoyable. The second advantage of using the sunroom for an art gallery, in Gib-son's opinion, is that security would be greater. In the past, some students have had problems with pieces of their art work being stolen from the long-range planning." Dr. DeZonia's proposal would change the present system in that there would be only four presidents for the seven campuses, instead of the present seven presidents. Although the commissioner of higher education would be renamed a chancellor in a further effort to eliminate bureaucracy under the Students," "Improving Com-munication with Patients" and "Prevention and Care of Athletic injuries." At the first seminar, "Sexual Manifesto," Dr. Robert Iles, executive director of the Marcliff Foundation, stressed the need for more sexual understanding of college age students. Dr. Iles pointed out that in many schools, health services per-sonnel are not able to aptly deal with the sexual problems facing college-age students today. Dr. Iles believes that students should have rights to a medical service offering contraceptive devices and treatment of venereal diseases. "If a college health service does not offer free access to con-traceptives," Dr. Iles noted, "it is not a health service." Stahl said that if these dividends public places in which they have been displayed. "The security would be much better because the sunroom doors could be locked at night." Another advantage cited by Gibson is that because the sunroom is out of the mainstream of college traffic, persons would not have to attend controversial art shows if they expected to find them personally offensive. "Art shows are for a select group of people — people interested in art," he stressed. "You choose to go to a small room in the Johnson Center to hear a music recital just as you should be able to choose to go to a certain area to view an art show." Gibson emphasized that "we're seemingly headed in the right direction now" as he noted that the controversy over President Baumgart's removal of a painting from a senior art show last year has calmed down. He felt that the question of whether the removal last year was justified or not is of secondary importance compared to the fact that art students may now be presented with the opportunity to display their art shows in a much better atmosphere than ever before. proposal, the Board of Regents would be retained as the South Dakota University System's governing body. Dr. DeZonia also presented a staff study to the Regents which projected that there will be only a modest increase in enrollment over the next five-year period, which will be (continued on page 4) were added to Northern's health service, the student activity ticket fee would have to be increased. In ad-dition, any increase in services would have to be ratified by the student ser-vices committee, President Baumgart and the Board of Regents. Dr. Marjorie Hartig, representing the University of Minnesota, discussed the gynecological problems facing students at the second seminar. She noted that several gynecological diseases are reaching epidemic proportions on many college campuses. To curb this, Dr. Hartig stressed the need for a nurse practitioner concept, whereby the campus nurse could fulfill many of the duties currently handled by the doctor. In addition, the need for awareness of these diseases and their effects was also stressed. An experienced trainer for the Minnesota Gophers was the speaker concerning the prevention and care of athletic injuries. Lloyd Stein outlined several newly developed methods of minimizing athletic in-juries. He advocated the need for better student trainer-physician relationships. It was noted by Stein that a poor relationship can severely hinder athletic injury healing. At the fourth workshop, Dr. Robert Veninga, assistant dean at the University of Minnesota, spoke on the importance of interpersonal com-munications. Various exhibits displayed the means and the progress feasible when achieving better communication at all phases of the college environment. At a business meeting held during the conference, Ms. Zulk was elected the student representative for the North Central College Health Association. In addition, she will be a delegate to the National Convention of the American College Health Association. Stahl reported that several con-structive ideas were digested by the Northern delegation attending the conference. "While our health ser-vices can be termed satisfactory," Stahl added, "when compared to the standard set by general convention participants, our service can surely be improved."
