South Dakota enrollment stable Northern State University's fall enrollment again meets the university's goal, announced the NSU administration. This year's enrollment is nearly identical to last year's in both headcount and full-time equivalent categories. Northern enrolled 3,013 total students, which is 25 students-or less than one percent-fewer than last year. In full-time equivalent numbers, NSU has 2,188.4 students, a decrease of 13.7 students representing just over one-half percent. "Just as we did last year, Northern set a target of enrolling between 3,000 and 3,100 students. It is the range in which we're comfortable," said NSU President John Hilpert. Hilpert attributed NSU's stability to the excellence and the diversity of the curriculum at NSU, including the university's newly expanded mission in e-learning. According to the South Dakota Board of Regents, four state universities were up in headcount, Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, South Dakota State University in Brookings and the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. Black Hills State University in Spearfish was down 142 students or 3.7 percent. Hilpert said the system's record number of 30,072 students is good news for all regental institutions.

THE OF NORTHERN STATE UNIVERSITY October 2 3 , 2002 Volume 101, Issue 3 • http://www.northern.edu/exponent/index.html Lim and student team receive awards Ben Bouza Campus Reporter During the 2001-02 school year, Jon Lim, professor of health and physical education, had a vision. His vision was to create an online, interactive section of Wellness 100/100A. With the help of three undergraduates and one graduate student, his vision became reality. Lim's group has created an online version of Northern State University's Wellness 100 class. Lim, and everyone else that has taken part in this project, was recognized last spring when they received multiple awards for their work. Lim was the recipient of the NSU Williams Library Award for Faculty/Student Research Collaboration, as well as being nominated for the Best Online Course award from the Electronic University Consortium. Not only have Lim and his team received these awards, but they were also invited to present their project at multiple nationwide conferences. In March, they presented at the South Dakota Statewide Conference for E-Learning and then traveled to San Jose, Calif., in July for the Syllabus National Instructional Technology Conference. "Everyone involved Brandy Schnabel News Editor "S outh Dakota becomes a better state when we have more people going into higher education," Brendan Johnson, son of Senator Tim Johnson, said. Johnson has been traveling the state campaigning on a person-to-person level for his father. Johnson visited campus last week to speak to several of professor Jon Schaff's American government classes to give the students a view of what it's like on the inside of a political campaign. "Going and talking to Professor Schaff's class was the most fun thing I'd done so far in the campaign," Johnson said. Johnson spends his mornings speaking to high school or college classes, his afternoons talking to business owners and citizens of small towns, and his evenings at senior centers. "This is the second time I've been to Northern in a month, and I'll spend the next week and a half visiting the other colleges and universities around South Dakota," Johnson said. Johnson's main focus in his father's campaign is aimed at informing high school and college st udents: contributed to the overall outcome of the project, each small part came together in the end and we have created a quality product as a whole. The students were extremely instrumental in the success of the project, especially Johnathan Karol. His dedication helped bring everything to a culmination," Lim said. With the help of senior Johnathan Karol, Sturgis; 2002 graduate Nikki Walter, Holabird; 2002 graduate Kim Dahl- Freeland, Timber Lake; and graduate student Curtis Davis, Lim has made it possible for students to earn their Wellness credits by distance learning via WebCT. Students enrolled in the class could log onto WebCT and view video clips, complete with audio, of each of the aspects of Wellness covered in class. Students would also have the opportunity to watch short clips of the required lifts and drills that each student takes part in on the campus version of the class. Students would then complete labs that were available online and record their answers to be electronically transmitted to Lim. The video clips and labs were created by the students involved and the students images and voices are featured on the website. The funding and support for There are many important issues in this year's races, and in the eastern part of South Dakota, education and employment issues reign. Central issues to college students include the status of student loan interest rates, for which Senator Johnson helped secure a low, fixed rate. "Education is the issue that we are focusing on right now. It's all about maki education this project came form the NSU departments of Education and E-Learning. Erika Tallman, director of the E-Learning Department feels that "Dr. Lim and his students have done a wonderful job of creating the Wellness class, they have used many interactive multimedia approaches to build the concepts that are taught in our campus class." One of the hardest parts of putting together a project like this was the technological aspect. Lim felt the students would benefit more from learning the technology behind the project, so he recruited students to perform the tasks. "At first I was leery about learning all of the technology. I didn't know if I was skilled government can play a role when it comes to student loans or funding projects on college campuses. That is a good way for the government to help out communities like Aberdeen and Brookings," Johnson said. Election Day is Nov. 5, which is less than two weeks away. Two of the major races in the state, the races for Senate and governor, are within four percentage points in every media poll. Due to the closeness of the races, there has been a marked increase in political ads, which is especially noticeable on television. "South Dakotans are tired of all the political ads," Johnson said. Senator Johnson's campaign goal is to see a large voter turnout on Election Day. On Nov. 5, the victor will be the candidate who can get the most supporters to the polls. "A big part of the campaign is just trying to encourage as many people as possible to get out and enough to understand everything behind this, but as we went on I learned that everything was made easier by the technology not harder," Karol said. With the success of this online class, Lim is now looking to create a website that highlights Health and Physical Education. It will focus on weight training. The site will show people each specific muscle group, how the muscle operates, and what exercises work the specific muscle. The goal of the project will be overall fitness for the common person. The website will be available to all NSU students as well as the local public. Lim will again be working with Northern students to create this project. Johnson said he plans to visit NSU again, because "Northern, and Aberdeen in general, is one of our top priorities." This fall's Senate election in S.D. may determine more than who holds the second of two Senate seats, it could also decide which party holds the majority in the United States Senate. "We have the most powerful senate team in the entire nation right now. We have more influence than we've ever had in the history of South Dakota," Johnson said In another well-publicized race, Democrat Stephanie Herseth and Republican Bill Janklow are vying for South Dakota's lone House of Representatives seat. Both candidates would be first-time national representatives. "Stephanie has really surprised some people; I think that is going to be a very close and very exciting race," Johnson said. Democrat Jim Abbott anc Republican Mike Rounds are the gubernatorial candidates this fall. "Jim Abbot has been talking an awful lot about education. I think that race is going to be decide( based on whether in people it S.D. decide that education is their top priority," Johnson said. Lool for Johnson, and other politica candidates, to visit NSU soon. "South Dakotans are tired of all the political ads."

"No South Dakotan should be denied an education because they or their parents don't have enough money to afford it. We should always have student loans available to college students so that they can afford to go to school," Johnson said. Senator Johnson believes that government can play a role in financing higher education for S.D. residents. "W,e, , ,believe vote,: Joli.n.s011 said.
