Blue Bombers invite band "1714-MtaRr7r4 Volume 77, Issue 7 Northern State College, Aberdeen, South Dakota 57401 October 20, 1977 Mehlhaff expresses BOD concerns by Barb Brewster Creation of a new post in the KASD-FM radio station, problems with the Rodeo Dance and the recent Student Federation meeting were the topics of discussion at the Student As-sociation Board of Directors meeting Monday evening. Pat Keller, Pierre sophomore; Mark Stange, Aberdeen senior; and Les Cummings, Aberdeen, appeared before the Board of Directors to ask for its help in several matters. Keller, KASD-FM General Manager, has not been paid since assuming his posi-tion. The group also asked the Board to consider creation of a salaried po-sition of Business Manager. At pres-ent, Stange is the Business Manager, but he too has not been paid since assuming his position. The Board stated that the obstacle in Keller's case was that he had not been confirmed as General Manager by the BOD. Keller was later con-firmed. Much discussion ensued over the proposed creation of the Business Manager's position. The problem seemed to be caused by the switching of the Business Manager's post from a salaried position, funded by the KASD-FM operating budget, to a work-study position. Stange would not qualify for the work-study job and no qualified work-study student had applied. After much discussion by the group by Pat Miller The second monthly meeting of the Federation of Student Governing Bodies, consisting of three member delegates from each of South Dakota's seven state colleges and universities, was held in the Aquanas-Newman Center on North-ern's campus Friday, October 14. Jude Herges, Aberdeen senior, Presi-dent of the Student Federation, chair-ed the day-long session, which cover-ed areas of universal student con-cern After roll call, approval of minutes and agenda, and the treasurer's re-port, Dr. Joseph McFadden extended greetings to the delegates. He also encouraged the Federation to support the pQ:?posed faculty salary increase. Tuition and fees for fiscal year 1979 and faculty unionization were topics that brought out related dis-cussions on faculty salary increases. The 1979 budget for higher education may require an increase of $700,000 which could force tuition costs to rise approximately $1.00 per semester hour. Should tuition have to be in-creased, Pete Mehlhoff, Northern's Student Association President, ex-pressed hopes that tuition increases would be used directly to pay for higher salaries. Student tuitions help pay for only one-third of all higher educational costs in South Dakota. The rest is born through appropria-tions generated through the State Legislature. and the BOD concerning the duties of the Business Manager, misman-agement of KASD-FM funds during the summer and problems arising from the creation of the position, the Board resolved to create, tem-porarily, the office of Business Manager, salaried at $100 per month. The Salaries and Dues Committee will study the position and make recommendations , to the Board on possible salary revisions. Problems with the Rodeo Dance, held Friday of Gypsy Week, also con-cerned Board members. Pete Mehl-haff, Student Association President, and Bob Anderson, Commissioner of Housing and Student Services, voiced concern that most students did not realize that the $2.50 admission price paid for the beer, not the band. An-derson stated that some procedural guidelines have to be established by the UOB if they are going to sponsor any more of these activities. Prob-lems also arose in that some students paid the $2.50 admission price, later that evening the price was reduced to $2.00 and much later students were not even charged. Mehlhaff highlighted some of the topics discussed at the South Dakota Student Federation meeting held Fri-day at Northern. Tuition increases were discussed. The state legislature is looking toward a $1 per credit hour increase in the coming year. This in- A vote on the issue of whether or not to support faculty unionization was tabled until next month's meet-ing to be held in Brookings. This is'to allow delegates time to digest re-search material on this topic that were distributed at the meeting. The highlight of the day was the luncheon held in the Black Hills room with State Senator Leroy Hoffman as guest speaker. Senator Hoffman, a member of the Higher Education Committee, stressed the "continuing need for public support of Higher Education." He felt that the higher education system is one of the "greatest assets any state has" as it is a desirable element and attraction in the development of business and in-dustry in the state. Hoffman has sup-ported a resolution advocating faculty salary increases, stating, "better education means it is neces-sary to support better salaries for teachers." The senator also express-ed regret that the state's unappro-priated general funds, amounting to over $14 million, couldn't have been put to better use in increasing faculty salaries, thus "preventing many good professors from leaving the state." Attendance policies, Student In-centive Grants, the Student Intern Program, college catalogs, student rules, other budgetary matters and faculty evaluations were among other topics occupying the student delegates at the meeting. crease would generate approxi-mately $700,000, but this does not necessarily mean that the money will be used for faculty salaries. Fund raising for the Federation was also discussed. Presently dues for membership in the Student Fed-eration are $700 per year. This is quite an expenditure for the smaller colleges. Some means for defraying costs are being discussed.
