NSU Foundation
sets its sights at

met approximately 56 percent of
its goal. After 70 percent of the
goal has been reached, which
Krzyzanoski expects will be in
March or April, the Foundation
will move the campaign from the
silent phase into the public phase.
During the public phase, the
Foundation will take the
campaign on the road, reaching
alumni who may or may not have
been contacted for donations in
the past.
Because the campaign seeks to
double the amount of money
given for scholarships, "we're
expanding our focus and our
donor base," Krzyzanoski, said.
She said she is very confident
that they will reach their goal
because Aberdeen citizens and
businesses, along with NSU
alumni, are extremely supportive
of the Foundation and its
campaigns.

The Northern State
University Foundation
has launched its first
capital campaign in its 28 year
history, Dottie Krzyzanoski, NSU
foundation executive director,
said.
The Century of Leadership
campaign has set a goal of raising
$10.25 million dollars by The
University's 100th anniversary in
2001.
Krzyzanoski went on to say the
Foundation hopes to raise six
million dollars for scholarships,
three million dollars in planned
gifts and one million dollars for
institutional support.
Currently, the campaign is in its
"silent" phase, which means that
there has been no formal public
announcement regarding the
campaign. The silent phase
consists largely of the Foundation
representatives seeking
contributions from persons who
have donated large sums to
different NSU campaigns in the
past.
To date the Foundation has

Championship Club's
Annual Drive kicked off on
October 11 and will be underway
until December 3.
The Championship Drive is
dedicated to providing financial
support for athletic scholarships.
The goal for athletic
scholarship contributions this
year is $335,000 and the goal of
the Championship Drive is to
raise $85,000 of that amount.
The drive consists of
approximately 70 volunteers
from the community seeking
donations by contacting previous
donors, former athletes and
parents of past and present
athletes.
Remaining funds for athletic
scholarships are raised by the
Wolves' Club through
membership dues, concession
sales and special events
throughout the year.
There is a positive feel and the
community shows a lot of
excitement for NSU athletics,

Tove Hoff Bormes has
signed a contract with
Northern State
University to represent students as
the new student attorney.
The contract went into effect on
October 25, and will continue
through the end of the school year.
The contract can be renewed
again next fall under the same
terms, unless one of the parties
would like to make an
amendment. The contract may
also be terminated by either party
within thirty days notice of the
ending date.
In the contract, it states that
Bormes will provide legal counsel
to NSU students. Students may
approach Bormes with their legal
problems and she will aid or
advise them as to how to handle
the problem. Students will be
entitled to counsel on any legal
matter they have, and if it is
serious, the student will be
referred to outside legal counsel.
Although Bormes will provide
legal aid, there is no requirement
for her to go to court with any
student.
Bormes did say that there
would be a possibility that she
would represent students at a
reduced cost. The general activity
fee, which is funded by all NSU
students, will cover the cost of her
legal aid.
Students can be assured of
strict confidentiality when
consulting Bormes. She is entitled
to the attorney-client privilege,
which means she cannot be
subpoenaed to court to testify
against anyone who confides in
her.
"I am excited to start working
with her, she is a great person,"
Rachel I lansen, student
association president, said.
She went on to say that this year
the legal counsel will be so much
more available and convenient
because Bormes is already a
professor at NSU and will be
readily accessible.
Bormes can be contacted
through the secretary of of the
