At this time, the College is in no financial position to support the radio station,
KASD, at the level required to carry on a quality program. Northern just doesn't
have the flexibility and would have to reduce the academic budgets in order to iden-tify
funds to support the station at a meaningful level. Priorities call for academic ex-cellence
and the support levels for academic programs are already underfunded.
"A better tomorrow through counseling today." This is both goal and title of the
S.D. Personnel and Guidance Association (SDPGA) Convention, which was held
April 26-28 at the Aberdeen Holiday Inn.
For Northern counselors, the conference highlight was when Darryl Zitzow
presented Dr. Jan Jirouch with the Administrator Award. She received the award
for her outstanding work as a counselor, educator, and SDPGA member. Dr.
Jirouch was also in charge of coordinating this year's convention, which consisted
of varied panels and presentations.
Jane Pequette, Dr. James Hess, and Darryl Zitzow all helped by presenting
seminars during the three-day conference. Several Northern students joined George
Estes, also of Northern and Vice-President of the SD Indian Counselors Association
(SDICA) by helping with registration and also with a panel discussion during
Friday's Native American Workshop. The SDICA is a branch of the SDPGA.
Shown above is Dr. Jirouch, center. On her left is Mr. Stotz, and on her right is
Dr. Jerde, one of the seven charter members of the SDPGA.

Psychology Major
Approved
by Cathy Coghlan
The Board of Regents approved a major in
psychology at Northern at their April 26-27
meeting.
The general purpose of , the major, which re-quires
36 hours of study for a BS/BA degree, is
to prepare individuals to be knowledgeable in the
theoretical aspects of psychology as well as have
an understanding of the dynamics of human
behavior. Northern has had a psychology minor
in the past.
The non-teaching major, which was the only
major requested by Northern, requires courses in
General Psychology, Human Growth and
Development, Human Behavior, Fundamentals
of Human Consciousness, Research Methods in
Behavioral Sciences and Individual Problems in
Psychology.
According to Dr. McFadden the proposal was
approved because Northern:
• has demonstrated having the resources, and
faculty and library support to provide a quality
program;
• has strong student and regional interest.
• has demonstrated the willingness and ability
to reallocate resources from low priority and
low enrollment programs in order to support
the new major in psychology.
Several attempts to institute a psychology ma-jor
have been turned down during the last ten
years. When it was resubmitted in the fall of 1978
the explicit proposal identified available funds.
"At this time we are not anticipating an in-crease
in faculty for the 1979-80 school year,"
said Dr. Jan Jirouch, Chairman of the
Psychology Department. Jirouch also mentions
that in 1978 when Darryl Zitzow went to work at
the Counseling Center, the psychology depart-ment
was operating with one less faculty
member. To compensate, the department which
normally has one teaching graduate assistant,
now employs three.
Faculty needs will be re-assessed in the future
on the basis of student response to the program.

The war in Vietnam was, without
doubt, America's longest agony
abroad, and no one has known that
agony more vividly or paid for it more
dearly than the men and women who
were sent to fight. They have not only
known the sacrifices of life and health
that war inevitably extracts, but these
men and women also faced the reality
of returning to the moral burdens and
social pressures that Vietnam
generated.
Recently, President Carter declared
the week of May 28-June 3 as National
Vietnam Era Veterans Week. For the
first time since President Ford declared
the end of the Vietnam War, in May
1975, we have been recognized as vet-erans.
On May 11 at 6:00 p.m., Vietnam
Veterans are sponsoring a Smorgas-bord
at the V.F.W. (Aberdeen post).
The proceeds from the event will be
used to pay for T.V. and radio adver-tising,
leading up to the week of May
28. We would like the support of the
Aberdeen Community and we invite
them to join us at the V.F.W.
On May 25, Mayor Jeff Solem and
Brown County Commissioners will sign
a proclamation declaring the week of
May 28 as Vietnam Era Week in the
Aberdeen area.
B.O.D. Completes Year
by M.R. Amends, Government Editor
The April 30 meeting of the Student Board of Directors closely followed the stated agenda. After roll
call, approval of the agenda, and correction and approval of the minutes of the previous meeting, the
B.O.D. moved to the Commissioner's Reports.
Commissioner of Entertainment and Activities, Wade Olsen, reported on Spring Fling. He disclosed
plans to narrow the days in which activities would take place to two. This would be tried, to see if better
attendance might be achieved. The Gypsy Days Committee report mentioned the desire to obtain a big
name band for the opening of the week, in order to keep the suitcase circuit on campus for the week.
President Rypkema commended Olsen for his work with the bands during the Spring Fling week.
No reports were submitted by Housing or Communications.
New Business covered the approval of Galen Weidner as the new director of the Student Services.
The den will be open late during finals week, and the S.A. decided on which night the members would
work.
The Board also appointed Wade Olsen to attend the June meetings of the Search Committee for Dean
of Students.
It was decided that telephones in the S.A. offices would be disconnected during the summer months
to economize.
Bernie Schmidt was appointed to collect the S.A. mail during the summer months.
A brief discussion was held on the lighting problems behind Jerde Hall, Briscoe Hall, and Steele Hall.
The B.O.D. then adjourned.
