In an attempt to thwart StudentFederation support for a piece of leg-islation being considered by theSouth Dakota Legislature, the Boardof Regents arrived en masse at theJan. 21 meeting of the statewide stu-dent leaders to express concern overHouse Bill 1073.

The bill, proposed byRepresentative Mike Jaspers andSenator Randy Frederick, requiresthe Regents to secure legislativeapproval for increases in tuition andfees over three percent or the rate ofinflation, whichever is higher.Currently, the Regents do not have to

clear decisions to raise rates withanyone.

One of the main points of con-tention for the Regents was theinclusion of the salary competitive-ness program that was implementedlast year. “We worked for over a yearto put the package together and thenworked through the conflict withCOHE for another five months inorder to bring these benefits to thefaculty, and we don’t want thatdestroyed with one blow,” saidRegent Harvey Jewett.

The Student Federation hadpledged support to the program and

Black Hills State University stu-dents are currently not eligible forloan consolidation introduced bySen. Tom Daschle, D-SD.

Daschle appeared before aBHSU audience and introduced a“refinancing” plan for students withcollege loans in October. The plan isnot “refinancing,” but a loan consol-idation for persons in repayment sta-tus with high outstanding loanamounts under the Federal DirectStudent Loan Program (FDSLP).

“For currently enrolled studentsin school right now, this loan is notfor them, consolidation is for stu-dents in repayment status,” said DebHenriksen, the BHSU Director ofFinancial Aid.

BH does not participate inFDSLP, loans at the university areunder the Federal FamilyEducational Loan Program (FFELP),

which works with bank lenders.According to Donna Johnson,Regional Market Manager forU.S.Bank, the only university partic-ipating in the FDSLP is NationalAmerican University in Rapid City.Johnson said the reason BHSU does-n't participate in FFELP is becausethe college receives “excellent ser-vice from the guarantee agency, ser-vicers, and lenders and did not feelthey needed to participate.”

Johnson also said bank lendersprovide repayment discounts, includ-ing a reduction in interest rates.

“I’m disappointed that it doesn’tapply to current BHSU students, it’stoo bad that non-traditional studentscan’t get a break,” said Tim Greear,senior.

Past students in repayment statusmay be eligible with Perkins loans orStafford loans. The deadline for loanconsolidation is February 1, 1999.For more information call 1-800-844-3677 or www.ifap.ed.gov.

Living in a college dorm can be a veryscary time for freshman. For some it's thefirst time they have ever lived away fromhome. Add to that experience first-degreearson, a smoke bomb, flooding, vandalismand fines- it sounds like a movie plot, but itwas real life for the residents of WenonaCook during the fall semester.

Traditionally, fines of five dollars perresident have been enough to keep anymajor damage from occurring. Traditiontook a back seat, though, as vandalismbroke out in the dorm this past fall. On thenorth end of the second floor, a smoke bombwent off, scorching the carpet. A section of

the brand new carpet was also damagedfrom a third floor utility faucet that was leftopen. A few days later, the same bathroomsaw the intentional setting of a rag on fireshortly before fire alarms awoke residents atapproximately 4:30 AM.

The bathroom sustained a shatteredmirror as a result of the fire. Destruction wasnot limited to the bathroom; reportedlybefore setting the fire in the third floor bath-room, the vandals broke out stairwell win-dows in both the north and south stairwells.

Residence Life Director Mike Isaacson,Vice President of Finance Tom Andersonand Facilities Services Director Art Jonesmet with residents to express their feelingsof condolence while promising them quickand effective action. Isaacson informed res-

idents of his commitment to press criminalcharges.The university in a move designedto make residents feel safer, hired aSpearfish police officer to be present from11 PM to 7 AM during the last week of thesemester, along with the addition of a resi-dent assistant on duty 24 hours a day.

The university turned to local lawenforcement agencies for help in investiga-tion and prosecution of the vandalism.

According to Ross Johnson, an investi-gator with the Spearfish Police Department,evidence was collected after the fire.Investigators also took finger prints andhand writing samples for analysis. Johnsonquestioned a student in connection with thevandalism.

“He denied everything one day, and the

next completely confessed,” said Johnson.Currently law enforcement is awaiting

an indictment by a grand jury to start courtproceedings. Although only one student isunder investigation, Isaacson has stated thattwo students have been removed from theuniversity.

“Students sent members of the adminis-tration, police and fire departments thank-yous after the removal of the students,” saidIsaacson “We were very proud of howmature the residents acted during the inves-tigation. They gave us the space we neededto do our job.”

“It was pretty crazy for awhile, but it'stime to get back to school,” said WenonaCook resident Steve Secker. “It’s time to putthis behind us.”

Of the thirty-eight who responded, twen-ty-two, or approximately 57 percent, marked“yes” on the final question: Do you approve ofthe four day proposal?

Many reasons for approval related to theenergy shortage. Several saw benefits in usingless electricity and hear during the week.

Welcome to Black Hills StateUniversity, although the name changedoesn’t take effect until July 1, GovernorGeorge S. Mickelson signed the bill lastweek making it official. That’s goodenough for me.

I think it’s about time the BH gets therecognition it so rightly deserves. Somehave argued against the name changebecause of differences in the definitionbetween a university and a college. Ibelieve that is a poor comparison, consid-ering that society has negative connotationtoward the word college.

Regents feared that with the bill, they were changingtheir minds. “You only get one chance in life to renegeon something, and then your credibility is gone,” Jewettsaid.

Federation Executive Director Lance Russell assuredthe Regents that they had no intentions of reneging on theirpromise. “I assure you that we still fully support the salaryenhancement program,” Russell said. An amendmentexempting the salary competitiveness agreement was draft-ed and submitted according to Russell.

The salary competitiveness was not the only thingcausing displeasure for the Regents. Members of theBoard expressed concern in putting the power to deter-mine tuition increases in the hands of legislators.

These people (legislators) are mostly uneducatedfarmers,” said Regent Pat LeBrun. “They don’tknow...they don’t see the big picture.”

“You can’t do this. It undermines our authority. Weneed to be the ones who control the educational dollars

in this state,” said Jewett. “Letting the legislature con-trol this would be disastrous. They don’t have what ittakes to look out for the students.”

Students attending the meeting maintained thatsomething must be done about the increases in tuition.“If we don’t do something about the increases intuition, the quality of the education in South Dakotawon’t matter any more because no one will be able toafford it,” said Black Hills State University StudentAssociation President Corey Christians. “We are goingto price ourselves out of higher education in SouthDakota.”

Regents Executive Director Robert T. “Tad” Perrysaid, “The increase is not that significant when youlook at it on a per student basis.”

“Tuition has increased 31.1 percent at state univer-sities since 1994,” Brock Greenfield, Northern StateUniversity SA president, said. “I would hardly call thatinsignificant.”

Last October President Clintonsigned a college security law whichincludes adding hate crimes, arson, andmanslaughter to the list of crimes thatcolleges and universities are required todisclose. The provisions of the law alsorequire that colleges and universitieskeep public logs of reported crimes.

“I don’t anticipate any differences inhow we handle things on campus,” stat-ed Judith Haislett, Vice President ofStudent Life. “If we are setting a set ofbehavioral guidelines that are very spe-cific to this campus.. then we need to beable to deal with them privately.”

“This is not about hiding anything,”added Haislett. “In my tenure, we havenever hidden any crime reports.”

Advocates of the law signed byClinton say new provisions should helpstudents and parents get a better pictureof campus safety, as long as the provi-sions are not weakened when theDepartment of Education defines howuniversities and colleges must imple-ment the law.

Advocates also expect some institu-tions to fight a provision opening discipli-nary hearings involving crimes of violenceor nonforcible sex offenses. Results ofhearings must also be posted.

“That piece is related to crimes ofviolence,” said Mike Isaacson, Directorof Residence Life. “The legislation saysthat if the person is found responsibletheir name and outcome would be madeavailable to the public.”

The Department of Education is cur-

rently asking for input on the open hear-ings.

“I haven’t seen an open hearing yet,and I’m not crazy about the idea,” statedIsaacson. “I’m very interested in the pri-vacy of everyoneinvolved because itimpacts their livesin a big way. Themore people that getinvolved ... the morethings have a poten-tial for snowballingand sensational-ism.”

Overwelmingly,the concern is thatopen hearings willcause problems oncampus becausethey take privacyand control awayfrom the students.

“In terms of stu-dent disciplinaryhearings, the moreyou open it as apublic venue themore it becomeslike a civil court,”stated Haislett. “Ifeel in openingthem, fewer peoplewill come forward,especially in thehate crimes, harass-ment, and anythingto do with your personal life such as yoursexual life and your sexual identity.”

The new program would holdschool judicial systems to the same stan-

dards as other courts; opening up cam-pus proceedings to the public. This sys-tem also allows students and parents tolearn about the outcome of a proceeding.

“The legislation is based on theassumption thatcolleges and uni-versities try to hidenegativity from thepublic,” statedHaislett. “At BlackHills we are notgoing to be for anopen public disci-plinary process,but we don’t hideeither.

“We don’ttry to interveneto protect stu-dents from civillaws and civilresponsibilities.But the reasonwe (BHSU) willtry to oppose it isit turns an educa-tional discipli-nary hearing intosomething moreakin to a civiltrial.”

Black HillsState Universitycurrently pro-vides copies ofall crime statis-

tics in brochures titled “Campus Safetyand Security” to all incoming students.In addition to three years of crimereports and arrests, the brochure contains

BHSU’s security programs availablefrom the areas of Student Assistance,Residence Life, and Health Services.

Despite the fact that schools arerequired under current crime laws topublish crime reports and arrests, it hasbeen stated by parents that sometimesschools omit incidents which couldaffect their reputations.

“One of the best-kept secrets is thatviolent crime takes place on cam-pus...ranging from murder, rape, andsodomy, to aggravated assault,” saidHoward Clergy in a 1998 interview withthe Austin American Statesman. Clery’sdaughter, Jeanne, was killed in herdorm room at Lehigh University, inPennsylvania in 1986. “And theyweren’t reporting it to anybody, least ofall to students.”

Since 1990, institutions have beenrequired to report crime statistics tothe U.S. Education Department andthe FBI. The new law, part of a five-year reauthorization of federal highereducation laws, applies to public andprivate schools that use federal studentaid money.

Public comments will be used towrite regulations on how colleges anduniversities should implement the law.To contact the Department of Educationwrite, call, or e-mail:

Following the recent outrage overmandatory recycling in Rapid City, rumorshave been rampant regarding such a mea-sure being implemented on campus.

Ryan Maher, Student Senator for theCollege of Business and Technology saidthat he is not aware of any current push formandatory recycling on campus.

A plan for mandatory recycling wasimplemented six years ago according to ArtJones, Physical Plant Director. The plan,however, did not prove to be cost effective.State funding was dropped, and so was theprogram. Jones points out that due to fluc-tuations in the cost of recycling and recy-cled goods, the costs can actually outweighthe benefits. He feels that “from a business

standpoint, it (mandatory recycling) justdoesn’t make sense.”

Despite its cost effectiveness, there hasbeen a concerted effort over the last threeyears to keep a voluntary recycling programrunning on campus.

Recycling bins are located in all resi-dence halls, campus apartment buildings,administrative buildings and the YoungCenter. Pick-ups are also made from theStudent Union Marketplace, PangburnCafeteria and the Physical Plant.

Regular pickup routes have been estab-lished and are run five days a week, yearround.

“Everybody supports it by contribut-ing,” said Becky Dovre, Assistant Manager,Pangburn Cafeteria. It took a little bit tooget started, but they (the students) do a real-ly good job of it.”

New security law causing debate on campusesNEWS

The prevailing sentiment throughout most of the world isthat the bombing campaign in Iraq did little to achieve itsobjectives, one being to ensure peace in the Middle East.

Not only are regional allies ambivalent, the three otherpermanent members of the U.N. Security Council, Russia,China, and France, were strongly against the decision byBritain and the U.S. to attack. An article in The Economist thatran on December 19,1998 entitled Bombing in a Quicksandnoted the Arab world’s first response was to express sorrow,cynicism, and outrage. This echoes their initial concerns asstated in February 11,1998 article last year. Steven Lee Myers,reporting for the New York Times said the Arab nations refusalto support the U.S. stemmed not only from a fear of backlashfrom their own citizens and possible recrimination fromHussein, but mostly out of concern for the Iraqi citizens,

American military planners conceded that civilian casual-ties could not be avoided and that they would not be able todestroy Iraq’s weapon capability by an air strike alone.Admissions like this make it difficult to understand the reasonsbehind the attack.

Neil Chaney, who is a member of the College Republicans,feels the president is using Washington’s version of “wag thedog.” When his butt is not in trouble, he gives them two weeksto correct their act, but when he is in trouble, he bombs in twen-ty minutes.

One of our resident political scientists, Dr. Ahrar Ahmad,was asked if he thought that the bombing could contribute toMiddle East peace efforts. He said “It probably does not pro-mote the prospects of peace in the Middle East, but it will prob-ably not seriously jeopardize it in the long run.” He expressedconcern that the people may feel alienated,which would causemisunderstandings that may generate feelings, that the U.S. isnot fair or objective. He noted “It all depends on how the situa-tion develops and how we manage it.

That seems to be the consensus. An editorial appear-ing in the Orlando Sentinel on December 30,1998 summed itup with the point that the U.S. needs a new strategy that willbe part of the solution, not the problem.

For only the second time inthe history of the United States,a President has been impeachedand faces a Senate trial. WilliamJefferson Clinton wasimpeached by the U.S. House ofRepresentatives on two articlesof impeachment, perjury andobstruction of justice, inDecember.

Impeachment is a constitu-tional maneuver Congress usesto remove elected officialsfound guilty of high crimes andmisdemeanors. There is no offi-cial definition for the term highcrimes and misdemeanors whichcauses debate over whetherClinton’s actions are impeach-able.

The House managers, rank-ing Republicans on the HouseJudiciary Committee, arguedbefore the Senate recently thatbecause Clinton violated therule of law, it is ripe forimpeachment. They cited threecases in the last decade in whichFederal judges were removedfor lying under oath andobstructing justice. The Housemanagers drew comparisons inthese cases with Clinton andasked that the President not beheld to a different standard thanany other citizen.

Clinton is accused of lyingbefore a grand jury and givingfalse and misleading testimony.

He is also accused of obstruct-ing justice by trying to concealthe facts of an affair with WhiteHouse intern, Monica Lewinsky.

Four articles of impeach-ment were approved by theHouse Judiciary Committee latelast year. The full House ofRepresentatives advanced twoof the articles to a Senate trialwith U.S. Supreme Court ChiefJustice William Rehnquist pre-siding.

The first article of impeach-ment, the House managers argued,alleges President Clinton “willfullyprovided perjurious, false, and mis-leading testimony” before indepen-dent counsel Kenneth Starr’s grandjury August 17.

The other article approved saysthat Clinton “prevented, obstructedand impeded the administration ofjustice and has to that end engagedpersonally, and through his subor-dinates and agents, in a course ofconduct or scheme designed todelay, impede, cover up and con-ceal the existence of evidence andtestimony” related to the PaulaJones sexual harassment lawsuit.The article lists seven alleged actsof obstruction of justice, includingClinton’s coaching White Housesecretary Betty Currie in her testi-mony and asking Currie to gathergifts for Lewinsky from thePresident.

The House managers andWhite House lawyers argued thefacts of the case with 24 hoursallotted to each side’s case. Written

questions from Senate memberswere answered by the managersand lawyers to clarify the case tothe Senators. Whether testimonyfrom witnesses will be heard is stilla matter of much debate. TheHouse managers pleaded with theSenators to allow them to bring inwitnesses. The vote on allowingtestimony is expected sometimethis week. The House managershave been preparing a list of possi-ble witnesses, including Lewinsky,and Presidential advisor DickMorris.

While the White House andSenate Democrats have beenfighting to keep witnesses out ofthe case, Senate Minority LeaderTom Daschle, D-SD, said he feelsthat witnesses are “inevitable”because of the Republican majori-ty in the Senate.

With the President facingremoval from office, waves of anx-iety have washed over the country.“Where do we go from here?” is afrequently asked question and onethat is not so frequently answered.

In recent public opinionpolls, it was found that a major-ity of Americans have not beenfollowing the trial and thosewho have disagree with how theRepublicans are handling thesituation. However theRepublicans involved in the trialsay that while this is an incredi-bly uncomfortable event forboth them and the nation, theyare obligated by theConstitution to carry it out.

Clinton second President to be impeached

The trial dates have been set for RusselHenderson, 21, and Aaron McKinney, 22.Both men are accused of murder, aggravat-ed robbery, and kidnapping MatthewShepard last October.

According to the Albany CountyAttorney’s office, Henderson’s trial willbegin on March 22, 1999, and McKinney’sis scheduled for August 9, 1999. As of now,the trials will be held in Laramie, but theCasper Star Tribune reported Dion Custis,McKinney’s attorney, as saying that achange of venue is “very likely.”

They allegedly picked Shepard up in acampus bar on October 7, and drove himoutside of Laramie where they repeatedlybeat him, robbed him, and left him to die.

Shepard was found by a bicyclist 18 hourslater, and died on October 12. Authoritiesbelieve Shepard was targeted, in part,because he was gay. The prosecutor, AlbanyCounty attorney, Cal Rerucha is seeking thedeath penalty in both cases.

According to the Gillette News Record,Chasity Pasley, 20, and Kristen Price, 18,are accused of “failing to report the attack toauthorities and driving from Laramie toCheyenne to dispose of Henderson’s bloodyclothing in a trash container.” As of nowtheir trial dates have not been announced.

When asked how Mathew Shepard’sdeath impacted BHSU students, SheilaSeger responded by saying, “His death hasopened our eyes to prejudices. Just becausewe live in a small community does notmake us immune. The problem existseverywhere.”

It musthave gone madbecause it washitting the wallslike a blindmouse in a

maze. I eyed the bug as it whizzed acrossthe room taunting me with my flay-swatterin hand. Then, like a moth to a flame, itdove straight into the halogen lamp andjust as soon as it flew in, there was a loudpopping sound and it flew out of the lampand onto the floor. I inspected the carcassand found that the bug had met an untime-ly, as well as, and enlightening death. Thepoor bug was fried, scorched with it’swings extended outward.

Halogen lamps are great. They’rebright, stylish, classy and you can pick oneup for about $20. “I’ve got a halogen lamp

in two rooms of my apartment,” saysBHSU senior Eddie Zuniga, “and bothwere full of bugs from last summer!”

But there’s a danger, they get very hot,up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit in somecases.

Colleges around the country put a banon these torchiere-style halogen lampsbecause of the potential hazard. A halogentorchiere lamp caused a fire inMassachusetts college dormitory last year,burning it to the ground. “ “ I ’ v enearly burned down my dorm tons of timesby throwing clothes on my lamp in a rage,”says BHSU sophomore Nina Kurtz.

The Consumer Product SafetyCommission (CPSC) recently announced aplan to correct this hazard by recallingsome 40 million lamps or providing a safe-ty grid which you can install yourself overthe halogen bulb.

According to CPSC, the halogen bulbsin these lamps can cause fires. CPSC isaware of at least 189 fires and 11 deathssince 1992 involving halogen torchierefloor lamps. It is important that for the safe-ty grid to work, you must use only a 300

watt bulb.Some of the safety tips from theCPSC are:

•Never place the lamp near curtainsor other cloth window treatments.•Never drape clothes over the lamp.•Keep the lamp away from bedding.•Never leave the lamp on when youleave a room or are not at home.•To reduce the likelihood of tipover,keep children and pets away from thelamp.•Only use a halogen bulb of 300 wattsor less in the lamp.

Some other important safety tips: •Do not use the halogen lamp as apotpourri dish (yes, I’ve heard ofthis).•Do not cover the lamp with a coloredcloth to create a more romanticambiance.•And please do not throw undergar-ments onto the lamp.

“I wonder if the people who make thehalogen lamps would be interested in mak-ing bug zappers too,” says Zuniga.

photo by Alan CarrollThe Black Hills State University Concert Choir was accompanied by a full orchestra comprised of BH and sur-rounding area musicians for the Christmas presentation of Bach’s Magnificant, on December 9, at St. Joseph’sChurch in Spearfish. The ensemble, shown here in rehearsal, practiced the entire fall semester of ‘98 for theperformance. It was the first time the Magnificant was performed in its entirety, except for one movement,which was dropped at the last moment due to illness. The choir set another precedent with their performancewhen all of the solos were performed by BH students. In years past, outside artists were recruited for the solosdue to the difficulty of the pieces.

It’s no surprise that college students drink. In fact,there is such a strong connotation associated with drink-ing and higher education that many students, view theirdrinking (as they would) any other college activity.

But within the past five years, there has been analarming increase in one particular type of drinkingknown as “binge drinking”. A recent study fromHarvard has been tracking the rates of binge drinkingamong college campuses all around the country. It hastaken voluntary polls from over 14,500 students in 116nationally represented universities and colleges.

Binge drinking is described as having five or moredrinks in a row within a short period of time generallyless than an hour or two. For women, it's having four ormore drinks within the same time period. The reasonfor the discrepancy between men and women is theirphysiology, or “gender specific modification” whichgenerally places women as smaller than their male coun-terparts.

A “drink” is defined as either one 12-ounce beer,four ounces of wine, one shot, or a 12-ounce wine cool-er.

47 percent of those polled were found to be bingedrinkers, and of those drinkers, half were consideredfrequent binge drinkers-at least three or more times inthe past two weeks.About 84 percent of all college students had reporteddrinking over the course of the year.

This study has sent many red flags up around uni-

versities and colleges across the nation, including ourown Black Hills State.

Black Hills State has had it's problems with drink-ing on campus. It is not unusual for the Residence LifeOffice to handle four or five alcohol related problemswithin a week, and at least one reported disturbance aday. But the problems don't stop with the reportedcases. According to Dr. Judith Haislett, Vice Presidentof Student Life, many problems never reach the office.Many students feel that reporting someone for drinkingis either not necessary, unimportant, or not of their con-cern even when the behavior continues or is repeated onother occasions.

“[We] need to know when there is a problem oncampus, but often the case is that a student won't stepforward and give a name-and then the behavior contin-ues,” said Haislett.

What students who are not binge drinkers may notrealize is that they are victims of another phenomenonknown as “secondhand binge effect”. The effectincludes anything from impaired sleep and interruptionof study time, to more serious problems such asunwanted sexual advancements, property vandalism,sexual harassment, or physical assault. According toHarvard, a study showed over 78 percent of those whodo not drink have been affected one way or another bybinge drinkers.

“One night, my roommate went out with some ofher friends. In the middle of the night, I got a phonecall from her dad who was worried because the policecalled him about his daughter’s car. Apparently theyhad been out drinking heavily. She managed to run thecar into the ditch, and flip it over. They left the car inthe ditch because they were afraid that the police wouldcite them for a DUI and a MIC. It was a miracle thatthey all survived because the car was totalled; later shetold me that none of them were wearing their seatbelts.What frightened me the most was that I was supposed togo, but changed my mind.” Said Misty Reub.

“It seems that our culture tends to write off this kindof behavior and tell stories about it. We cannot afford towrite it off anymore” said Haislett.

Perhaps what makes binge drinking on campus dif-ficult to treat is the personal nature it envelopes. Whatthe school can do legally often comes veryclose to disrupting a students privacy.According to Mike Isaacson, Director ofResidence Life, “There is a thin linebetween upholding our policies and pro-tecting the privacy of the individual.”

For example, a suspicious (RA or) halldirector has the right to go into a person’sroom, but policy prohibits them fromactively searching; that is opening drawers,refrigerators, closets and hunting for alco-hol or other illegal substances. However, ifcans or other substances are found open in view, or inthe trash, the person(s) are subject to an immediate fineof $75, two hours of educational service, and six hoursof University service. On the second violation, all pun-ishments double; the third leads to expulsion. In allcases, the action become a part of the person(s) record.In addition to the fines and service, a person might be

referred to the Student Assistance Center which haslicensed professionals who can assess the situationshould it be evident that a possible addiction or depen-dency is or might become a problem.The initial assessment will be paid by the school, butany treatment following is the responsibility of the indi-vidual. If a student has purchased the school’s insur-ance plan, a part of treatment is covered in the policy.

Another area of concern aboutdrinking on campus arises with theCampus Apartments. Most of the resi-dents in the buildings are over the age oftwenty-one and half are married or havefamilies of their own, according to statelaw, however, ALL campus grounds areconsidered to be “dry”, or free of alco-hol. Some students, though, feel as if theapartments are safehavens for drinkingon campus. “There's usually somethinggoing on towards the weekend in the

apartments,” said Senior Lisa Larson, an apartment res-ident.

This semester alone, the police have been called tothe buildings about four times for disturbances, andhave found alcohol involved in all cases. Between 16and 30 individuals have either been arrested, fined, orboth.

“The only way to reduce the activities in the apart-ments is for the kids living here to work together” saidJustin Misener, Apartment Manager, “There's no way tocompletely stop it from happening, but the kids canactively decide not to put up with the disturbances.”

This year, the apartments have added an RA towatch the south side of the complex, where most of thesingle students and parties are. The new addition hasalready helped in reporting incidents as well as main-taining acceptable noise levels.

It must be noted that there is no way to completelyeliminate drinking on campus, or among college stu-dents. Not all drinkers are binge drinkers or suffer fromalcohol abuse.

“The crux of alcohol abuse is in the behavior, notthe quantity consumed. When people do dangerous,offensive, or obnoxious things when they drink, causingproblems for themselves and others around them, that'salcohol abuse” according to Henry Wechsler, Ph.D.,principal investigator of the Harvard study.

Consequently, the problems associated with bingedrinking can not be solved with one or two measures.First, the level of awareness must be raised in order tounderstand the issues. In a recent Social Problems class,professor Margaret Lewis asked students if they thoughtthat there was a drinking problem on campus. Almosteveryone had some problem or incident in which they

had been personally involved or had heard about. “It always amazes me the things my students go

through or are involved in. Some don't realize that theythemselves have a problem. Many others deny thatthere is a problem at all. The key is mak-ing people aware of their situations and torealize that this is not normal behavior forcollege,” said Lewis.

Even when students are faced with theoverwhelming evidence that their behav-ior is detrimental to themselves, they con-tinue due to the nature of the problem.Drinking is a series of causes, reinforce-ments, and effects that are overwhelmingto everyone involved. However, many ofthe behaviors that cause people to drinkdo not originate with the college campus.

“Our school does not have an alcohol problem; wehave inherited the problem through businesses, media,lack of education, and group socialization” commentedDr. Larry Tentinger, professor ofthe Substance Abuse Educationprogram on campus.

Dr. Tentinger began teachingthe Substance Abuse Classes thisyear. Prior to his position atBHSU, he taught the same kindsof programs as SDSU for severalyears.

“BHSU, professionally speak-ing, has done a good job with thedrinking problems on campus.Coming from SDSU where thereis a huge Greek influence, thiscampus does not have as big of aproblem concerning alcohol.Many of the students here are ofgood quality, but it doesn't meanthat there isn't a very real concern.”said Tentinger.

Dr. Tentinger and his HealthConcepts class have put together ahuge quilt in remembrance of 59people who have lost their lives inSouth Dakota due to alcohol-relat-ed incidents. The quilt was theidea of the Health Concepts classwho wanted to do something toraise awareness of alcohol abuse.

“Community service needs tobe in every class I teach,” saidTentinger. “Our motto is to make adifference; to think twice, and actonce”.

It is the goal of the HealthConcepts class as well as Dr.Tentinger to take the quilt to com-munities across the state and possi-bly to hang it in the State Capitolsome day. For now, the quilt willbe making a tour around Spearfishand eventually will be hung in theYoung Center.

Along with awareness is the need for education andopen discussion. A mandatory biology or wellness classalone is not enough, nor can it compete with other forcesassociated with drinking. The need for out-of-class and

educational events is crucial for offeringoptions and alternatives for students whowould rather drink. Currently, the Officeof Residence Life is considering a newapproach to publicize the services of theStudent Assistance Center as well as edu-cational approaches for the studentawareness and self-esteem.

“Wellness, when boiled down to it'scommon denominator, is self-esteem. Soit becomes that other self-destructivebehaviors such as drinking are attributed

to a lack of self esteem,” said Isaacson.If someone suspects there is a problem, the worst

thing that can be done is to ignore it. There are servicesavailable on campus for help or answers to questions.

Former Black Hills State graduate Tommi Jo Casteel,22, has been named Miss Rodeo South Dakota 1999.

Casteel, of Vale, South Dakota, graduated fromBHSU last May with a degree in wellness management.On July 4, 1998, she went on to win this prestigious titleat the Belle Fourche Round-Up. Over the last six months,she has kept busy in the“Lady in Waiting Program” thathelped her prepare before taking over the title.

“Over the summer, I did get to travel with TracieBowden (the 1998 Miss Rodeo South Dakota) and attendnumerous rodeos as well as writing grant proposals tohelp get funding,” said Casteel.

Casteel got involved with rodeo at Sturgis BrownHigh School where she participated in the queen contest.She then went on to be actively involved with the YellowJacket rodeo team.

To ease student fears, the patrol offi-cer is prohibited from walking the resi-dence halls. The guidelines established inthe University Police Officer Proposalstate the officer cannot enter student’srooms unless called upon by residencehall staff. He or she can enter a student’sroom only in an emergency. Search andseizure laws apply if deemed necessary.The officer must stop in each residencehall at least once between 7:00p.m. and10:00 p.m. and notify staff of suspiciousactivity.

“Residence staff members will han-dle dorm violations like they did in thepast,” said Isaacson.

A question asked by many students is

the cost of hiring a full-time police offi-cer.

University Police Officer Proposalstate the university will pay the city ofSpearfish a total of 35,493.00 a year withsalary and benefits.

The figures speak for themselves.The university must pay policemen’ssalaries to attract qualified individuals."You get what you pay for," saidIsaacson.

Students who are dubious aboutOfficer Smith should introduce them-selves to him, talk awhile and then forman opinion. “If the program does notwork, it will be dropped, but give it achance first,” explained Isaacson.

University hires first police officerCyberspotschangeStudentUnion image

photo by Nate WestMichael Isaacson, director of Residence Life, visits with Keith Smith, BH’sCampus Officer from the Spearfish Police Department, during his shift.

Keith Smith started working as BlackHills State University’s first campuspolice officer Monday Jan.18. Smith washired by the University along withSpearfish Police Department to increasecampus security and provide safety forstudents.

“Hiring a professional law enforce-ment officer would eliminate the two-stepresponse time,” said Judy Zeiger,Director, of Student Services.

In the past, if campus security wasoverwhelmed in a bad situation, the offi-cer would call Spearfish police. Now,with a qualified police officer on campus,response time will be cut in half and thesituation will be diffused much quicker,Zeiger added.

The City of Spearfish and Black HillsState University, University PoliceOfficer Proposal job description recom-mended four years experience as a policeofficer, with good conduct and work eval-uations. Another requirement wasachievement of a Law EnforcementOfficer Standards and TrainingCommission Certificate as well as abilityto pass physical and psychological exam-inations.

“Only 20 applicants applied for theposition because of the high qualificationstandards," said student senator StacyTrezona, the student representative on theInterview and Selection Committee.

The committee was impressed withSmith’s communication ability and theway he would handle student problems.All agreed Smith was the right candidatefor the job.

"Smith had good ideas and showedenthusiasm for implementing dorm pro-grams like drug abuse, date rape andother safety issues,” said Trezona.

Not everything is positive. Some stu-dents feel uncomfortable with the pres-ence of police on campus, and feel thehiring of the police officer was intendedto encroach on their carefree lifestyle oract as an informant.

“This is not true,” said MichaelIsaacson, Director of Residence Life. Thereason for hiring the officer was not toharass students, but to generate a goodrapport with the student and create aninteraction between the students andpolice, Isaacson added.

With the addition of three newcyberspots over Christmas break,BHSU students now have full-timeaccess to the Internet and email.

The new cyberspots in the StudentUnion are a joint project of theComputer Center, the administration,and Director of Student Services JudyZeiger, with additional input from theAcademic Computing committee. Theresults of a student survey taken lastspring showed that the number onecomplaint from BHSU students wasthe lack of computer access on campus.

“This (the cyberspot addition) is agreat example of the administrationreally listening [to students] and this istheir attempt at solving a problem,”says Steve Babbitt, a member of theAcademic Technology committee.

The cyberspots are strategicallylocated throughout the building.Macintosh computers are on the sec-ond floor next to the Today newspaperoffice, Gateways are in the lower levelnear the bookstore, and the “cybercafe”in the Marketplace has two computersof each brand.

Sa, a first-semester student atBHSU, has already logged many hourson the Marketplace computers.

“My girlfriend goes to SDSU, andwe chat on the Internet. It's cheaperthan the phone,” he says.

Jay Beyer, building supervisor ofthe Student Union, has noticed theMarketplace computers in almost con-stant use.

“Students see them, students usethem,” he says.

Fewer students are using the Macsat the end of the hall as they are notInternet and email ready yet.. Theentire cybersystem in the StudentUnion will be networked to a printer atthe Gateway pod in the lower level, butthat hasn’t happened yet either.

“I’ve been told all the computers aswell as the printer will be functioningsoon,” says Babbitt.

As the snow begins to pile up andmore and more BHSU students chooseto hit the slopes rather than hit theirbooks, they will find some very talent-ed athletes on the mountain. CarltonBaird and Steph Croff are definitelytwo athletes to look for when desiringto pick up some snowboarding point-ers.

Baird, a junior masscommunications/graphicdesign major at BH hasbeen actively involved inthe snowboarding scenefor seven seasons. Bairdgrew up in DickinsonND but it was not untilhis family made thejourney to the Spearfisharea that boardinggrabbed his attention.Baird learned to snowboard fromfriend and role model, Clint Dietrich, aspearfish native and owner ofAdventure Sport, (a sporting goodsstore in Rapid City). Baird has come along way since his premier snowboard-ing days and today is competitive inboth the local and national scenes.Baird placed first at last seasons board-er cross competition held annually atTerry Peak. His first place victoryqualified Baird for a spot in the nation-al competition held in Teleride, Colo.,where he placed 37th among hundredsof competitors. Baird’s goals for thisseason include competing well at all

the local competitions in the BlackHills and Sioux Falls area, and winninganother spot at the national competi-tion. Future goals include improvinghis riding skills and a possible trip tothe 2002 winter Olympics.

Baird spends quite a bit of his timeon the mountain these days. Not onlydoes he ride for fun, but it is also howhe earns money, by teaching snow-board hopefuls the basics. "If you're atTerry Peak and in need of a lesson ask

for me by name," saidBaird. Besides snow-boarding, Baird alsoenjoys collecting fossils,art and skateboarding. Heis also president of theNorthern HillsS k a t e b o a r d i n gAssociation.

Where there is apresident, there must alsobe a secretary for the

organization and BHSU freshmanSteph Croff not only fits that descrip-tion, but is also an avid snowboarder aswell. Croff has spent much time on theslopes since she learned how to snow-board three seasons ago and now iscompeting with the best riders through-out the nation. Croff, a Spearfishnative, learned the basics via her bestfriend, and has been picking up thepace ever since. Even a broken collarbone suffered last season hasn't slowedher down. Croff won a first placemedal in last seasons Big Air competi-tion, held at Terry Peak, whichadvanced her to the National level,

however, injury detainedher from the competi-tion. Her goals for thisseason include anothertrip to Nationals com-bined with dailyimprovement on herboarding skills. Besidessnowboarding Croff'spassions include art andmusic. Her singing tal-ent has also won hernumerous awards in thelocal area.

Baird and Croffagree, for them, snow-boarding is a good stressreliever with a greatsocial life. “It’s fun andkeeps you out of trou-ble.” agree Croff andBaird. Croff and Bairdrecommend snowboard-ing for anyone andeveryone and wouldespecially like to see anincrease in the numbersof women competitorsin the area. Both ridersplan on competing inthe slope style andboardercross competi-tions held locally atTerry Peak and hope tosee new riders. Theadvice that they wish toleave with you is, “Ridebecause you want to, notbecause your mama toldyou so.”

Resident Assistants are the firstfriends you'll make when moving intothe dorms. They are placed on everywing in every hall to maintain a suit-able study environment for all the resi-dents.

“The Resident Assistants prepareevery year by getting together oneweek before school starts and attend-ing a retreat, where they do trust build-ing activities in order to work wellwith each other throughout the semes-ter,” said Melinda Oster, ResidentAssistant of Thomas Hall. “The work-shops go on for the first three or fourdays, then the rest of the week is usedto prepare the dorms for the incomingresidents.”

“From the beginning of everysemester, the R.A. works with all ofthe residents in the wing to acquaint

everyone and continue their dutythroughout the semester by program-ming wing and hall activities,” saidOster.

Mark Swasey, Hall Director ofThomas Hall, said the Resident assis-tants “have a fine line to walk betweenreacting firm and friendly. They haveto know what pulse to set for the wingand how to react to problems.”

Although the R.A.’s don’t like toreprimand people, they have to main-tain a suitable study environment forall the residents which leads many stu-dents to believe that R.A’s are “dormpolice,” said Oster.

The training that they go throughteaches them “how to be friends withthe students but still maintain therules,” said Oster.

Oster also said there is always aResident Assistant on duty in thedorms. The R.A. is on call from thetime they start their evening shift, until

the next morning at 7am. The R.A.’s work together to main-

tain a safe, suitable study environmentfor everyone in the hall. This, at times,tends to conflict with plans of otherresidents.

“It’s difficult trying to make every-thing work in the wing, with everybody,” said Nate West, Freshman R.A.

Nate was chosen to be a FreshmanR.A. his first year of college. TheFreshman R.A. is a new program oncampus where different freshman werechosen according to their leadershipskills and are currently helping set upthe program for future freshmanResident assistants. The idea of theprogram is to prepare the underclass-man for a future Resident Assistantposition if granted one.

The Resident assistants don’t do alot of policing. ”They are all human,they’re just doing their jobs,” saidWest.

Ask theDoctor...Q. I’ve been smoking for years. What’s the use of quitting now?

A: We have all heard about the bad things that come from smoking. Iwould like to take this opportunity to emphasize the positive affects that smok-ing cessation can have. Within 20 minutes of smoking your last cigarette, yourbody begins a series of positive changes that will continue for years.The following is a well known list of smoking cessation milestones,Remember that all benefits are lost bysmoking just one cigarette a day.

20 minutes - blood pressure andpulse return to normal.

8 hrs - the carbon monoxide andmonoxide and oxygen levels in the bloodreturn to normal.

24 hrs - the chance of a heart attackdecreases.

48 hrs - the ability to smell and tasteis enhanced.

2 weeks to 3 months - the circulationimproves and lung function can increaseup to 30 percent.

1 to 9 months - cilia regrow in thelungs, increasing ability to handle mucus,clean the lungs, and reduce infection.

1 year - the lung-cancer death rate foran average former smoker decreases byalmost half.

10 years - the lung cancer death rate issimilar to that of non smokers.

15 years - the risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker.

Don’t let those cold winter days lull you into afalse sense of security, however. In fact, winter suncan be more damaging to the eye because shinysurfaces such as snow and wet concrete can reflectadditional sunlight, up to 85 percent more, causingtwice or, even, three times the normal amount ofUV exposure.

According to theJournal of the AmericanMedical Association, adultsand children should bewearing sunglassesyear-round to protecttheir eyes from harm-ful UV light and toprevent serious eyeinjury.

How do you findthe right pair for yourface and yourlifestyle? Fit is vital -wrap styles provide

Black Hills State University, playing its fourth game insix days, came back from a 10-point first half deficit as theYellow Jackets downed Colorado Christian University 74-67 in non-conference men’s basketball action Sunday.

For the second consecutive night, Black Hills State gotoff to a slow start before coming back to win. ColoradoChristian opened up a 28-18 lead midway through the firsthalf, and held a 38-30 advantage at the intermission.

Trent Traphagen stroked two three-point field goals toprovide the Yellow Jackets with a lift early in the secondhalf. The second trifecta pulled BHSU into a 42-42 tie with

the Cougars.“Trent started us off in the second half and we seemed

to build some enthusiasm and energy after that,” comment-ed Black Hills State coach Mike Olson.

Colorado Christian stretched its lead back to five, 50-45, on back-to-back baskets by Endeicko Battles at the mid-point of the second half. Black Hills State responded with a17-2 run, sparked by treys from Nathan Vogel, Mike Smithand Brett Theeler. That run was stretched to 28-10 and gavethe Yellow Jackets a 67-54 lead with the inside work ofBrian Fennema, who led BHSU with 20 points.

“I think we saw the effects of playing a fourth game insix days,” Olson stated. “That’s not an excuse for our lack-luster first half performance, but more of an observation. We

were very lethargic.”The win, the fourth of the week for Black Hills State,

concluded the non-conference portion of the Yellow Jacketsschedule. BHSU is 12-2 overall as the South Dakota-IowaConference season approaches.

“This was a very gratifying week,” said Olson. “Wehave a long ways to go, but we seem to be improving.”

Nine Black Hills State players scored in a nip-and-tuckcontest with the Cougars. Theeler, who finished with 13points, was the only other Yellow Jacket to join Fennema indouble figures.

Toby Merchant canned 23 points to lead ColoradoChristian. Nikos Topouzis followed with 15 points andJermaine Anderson added 10 for the Cougars.

Black Hills State University start-ed out hot, went cold, but the YellowJackets managed to chain togetherenough baskets in the late going tohold off South Dakota Tech 79-73 inthe championship game of thePerkins Classic played Wednesday.

Black Hills State hit 13 of its first19 shots as the Yellow Jackets cruisedout to a 36-18 lead. Tech finally gotthe tide turned and the Hardrockerslimited BHSU to 8 of 30 shooting inthe second half to tighten the gameback up in the second half.

“I’ve talked about the Jekyll-and-Hyde personality of this team,” said

Black Hills State coach Mike Olson,who compared his team's cold snap tothe one suffered in BHS’'s overtimeloss to Dickinson State in earlyDecember. “If you shoot 60 percentfor three halves, who would everguess that you'd go 8 for 30?”

The Yellow Jackets, who hit 7 of10 three-pointers while opening up an18-point lead in the first 11 minutesof the game, appeared poised to makethe game into a runaway. Tech coachHugh Welsh felt his team's impa-tience didn’t help matters.

Welsh used three time-outs duringthe stretch, which slowly got his teaminto a flow more to the Hardrockers’liking. Justin Struckman, RobMcCarthy and Casey Jones each hitthree-pointers to cut the advantage to

eight points, 45-37, before BHSU set-tled for a 49-37 lead at half-time.

The final 10 minutes of the gamewere really to Tech’s liking. Down65-55 with 10:08 remaining, guardMike Peirce scored 12 straight pointsfor the Hardrockers while Black HillsState could manage only two baskets,a pair of three-pointers by BrettTheeler and Nathan Vogel.

Vogel then answered Peirce'sthree-point play with a trifecta topush BHSU’s lead from four pointsback to seven, 74-67.

Both coaches agreed Vogel’sthree-pointers came at a critical time.

“He gets a gold star tonight, noquestion,” Olson said of Vogel’s play.

Baskets by Wellington de Oliveiraand Dan Nebelsick pulled Tech back

within 77-73. Josh McNames hit twofree throws with 27 seconds left togive the Yellow Jackets a 79-73 leadand late three’s by Struckman andJones were off the mark.

Brian Fennema, who was namedmost valuable player of the fifthannual tournament, scored 20 pointsto lead BHSU.

McNames, who was named to theall-tournament team, added 15 pointsand seven assists. Travis Traphagenchipped in 13 points the YellowJackets, now 10-2 on the year.

Peirce, who was joined on the all-tournament team by Casey Jones, hit4 of 5 three-pointers on his way to agame-high 25 points. Jones added 16points for the Hardrockers.

BHSU TODAY NEWSPAPERSPORTS

After what felt like forever,the halt of the NBA season isfinally over. Like most fans, Iam grateful to finally knowthere will be a basketball sea-son. Unfortunately, disputesbetween owners and players are

becoming more common in all sports. This last spout,however, should rekindle a more fan-friendly league thathas owners reaching out to the team's fans.

After what happened to Major League Baseball, theNBA has to handle the situation in a better way. Baseballhas just finally started to recover thanks to last season’shome-run race between Swingin' Sammy Sosa and MarkMcGwire. Add to that a tremendous season by the cham-pion New York Yankees, who will go down as one of thebest baseball teams ever. But how does NBA commis-sioner David Stern even begin rebuilding the fan basethat once dominated sports viewing?

With the recent retirement of "the greatest ever toplay the game," Michael Jordan, the NBA faces itsbiggest obstacle. How does the league replace Jordan?The truthful answer is they can't. Those of us who aren'tBulls fans see it as an advance for the NBA. Finally otherteams will jump ahead as the best and it will return to thesport that isn't dominated by one team. However, Jordanwill be missed and will obviously spur a wave of disin-terest in the NBA for many.

After the loss of Jordan, Scottie Pippen and possiblyDennis Rodman all to free agency, long gone are the daysof the dominating Bulls. So who will be the next team todominate the hard boards? A question that, for now, willgo unanswered. The outlook this season is of very bal-anced teams in which no team really sticks out as thebest. Both of these things combined will add someexcitement to the NBA. So in effect, Jordan's retirement,along with the dismantling of the Chicago Bulls, maystimulate fan interest.

Now that NBA isn't represented by just one hugesuperstar, who will be the next to step up to the roll? TheNBA has many fine payers, but no one to succeed Jordan.The NBA doesn't have big swingers like McGwire andSosa who can spark interest and help gain back fans. Asa matter of fact, the only real swinger they do have isLatrell Sprewell, and he's a better representative ofwhat's wrong with the spoiled players of the NBA.

To these players who supposedly play for the love ofthe game, but continue to dispute with owners on too-lowsalaries, I say this- if you love the game so much, whydon't you pay $80 dollars a game to play, and the fanswill get $9 million dollars for showing up to watch.

So how exactly will the owners approach the possibleloss of fan interest? Well, Stern has a few plans to giveback to the fans. The preseason will involve two gamesfor each team - one home and one away - and admissionwould be free according to Stern. Also, at least 500 tick-ets for every regular-season game, 50 games in all, willbe priced at $10. Stern's intent is to bring more familiesto the games.

If you're anything like me, you didn't even care tofollow the details of this lockout. After many disputesover contracts, the players surrendered and will followthe new salary cap. The salary cap for each team this sea-son will be $30 million, $34 million the next, and $35.5million dollars the third season. However, this does notmean free agents that resign with their team will be tak-ing a pay cut. Under the terms of the new agreement, agrandfather clause allows any player to re-sign with histeam for 105 percent of his previous salary. In the weeksbefore the season starts, NBA fans can expect teams to bescrambling to fill rosters, make trades and sign some ofthe 200 free agents, like Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman,Charles Barkley, Antonio McDyess and JerryStackhouse.

So those of you still excited to see the NBA seasonstart, the schedule is set for play to begin Feb. 5. It willstretch out through the end of April and the playoff for-mat should stay unchanged. The NBA finals should con-clude by June 30.

Black Hills State University found the tide ofpoints rising in its favor at crucial times as theYellow Jackets rode two runs to an 87-75 victoryover Northwestern College in first day action at thePerkins Classic men's basketball tournament.

Black Hills State outscored the Eagles 26-9 overnine minutes in the first half and 24-9 over four min-utes midway through the second half before closingwith an 8-3 spurt to put away the Minneapolis-basedclub.

The Yellow Jackets needed all three of thesurges. Northwestern answered with runs of 21-6over the final six minutes of the first half and firstfour minutes of the second half and 13-4 late in thegame to counter BHSU.

“We’re happy with the surges, but we’re disap-pointed that we let them get back in the game,”Black Hills State coach Mike Olson said. “It was agame of runs and we had enough of them that wecould maintain control down the stretch.”

Brian Fennema, who was a workhorse in thepaint for the Yellow Jackets all night, was the drivingforce in the two big runs for BHSU. The 6-foot-6Fennema tossed in nine points while sparking BlackHills State on its opening 26-9 run.

With Fennema drawing the attention ofNorthwestern's defense, the rest of the YellowJackets then got into the scoring act. Brothers Trentand Travis Traphagen were joined by Mike Smith indraining three-pointers, while Josh McNames set uphis teammates with several lay-ups.

Brothers Cory and Chad Nuest combined toscore the final 11 points of the first half to pull

Northwestern within eight, 39-31, by the half-timebreak. The Eagles continued the surge from theinside in the opening minutes of the second half asJack McBain scored six of Northwestern's first 10points to make it a 43-41 ball game.

Black Hills State’s post game took over onceagain, sparking the Yellow Jackets on a 24-9 surge.Fennema tossed in 10 points, Brant Miller addedfour and Brad Massman added a bucket as BHSUbuilt its lead back to 71-54 with 6:43 remaining.

Again Northwestern came back. The Nuestbrothers hit back-to-back three-pointers to get theEagles started before Dan Westin and Tony Thielkestroked four straight free throws to make it a seven-point game.

Black Hills State got five critical plays fromMassman to help stop the rising tide of points.Massman hit a put-back, blocked a shot and forceda turnover to slow Northwestern. He then added twofree throws and a dunk to push the Yellow Jacketslead back to double digits in the late going.

“We got contributions from a number of kids,and Northwestern forced us to play hard and give itall we had to win the game,” said Olson, who sawhis team hit 60 percent of its shots for the game.

“We had two excellent runs, one each half.That's really the difference because they played usevenly and out-played us in stretches. The two runswere critical to us winning the game.”

Fennema converted 11 of 12 field goal attemptson his way to scoring a season-high 27 points.McNames followed with 13 points and six assists.Travis Traphagen contributed 12 points and Milleradded 10 for Black Hills State, now 9-2 on the year.

Weekend action beganwith Dakota State University Friday Jan. 15, andconcluded with Huron University Saturday, Jan.16. Dual wins place BH 10-7 overall in the SDICstandings, one game behind undefeated SiouxFalls.

“This is the first time this year we've sweptthe conference, which is important early to ourseason,” said Yellow Jacket Head Coach KevinDobbs. “A quick start is very important.”

Black Hills State 69, Dakota State 67A close game throughout resulted in a deci-

sion by Dobbs to employ a full-court press in thefinal 8 minutes of the game on Friday. An aggres-sive Yellow Jacket defense forced late turnoversfor Dakota State and resulted in a 67-60 lead.Melinda Oster, who went 10-for-10 in field goals,hit her last basket for BH's final points.

The Lady Trojans made a late run in the finaltwo minutes cutting the lead to 69-67. The T'spushed the ball up the court after a missed shot bythe Jackets, and a wide open Kathy Shypulskiwent for three, hitting off the back of the rim and

missing with three seconds to play.Rhea Duncan led the Yellow Jackets with 21

points, followed by Oster with 20. AmandaSchelle added 10, and Stephanie Grantier wasfour-for-four from the field for nine points.

Black Hills State 88, Huron University 75Heading into the second game of the weekend

with a line-up shortened due to injury, the YellowJackets resisted a late-game Huron Universitycomeback, nabbing an 88-75 win. Forging aheadby as much as 20 points, the Yellow Jackets helda 40-34 lead at halftime. Huron whittled the scoreto 68-67, but the Screaming Eagles could get nocloser. The Lady Jackets seized the momentumwith a 15-3 run, paving the way to a win.

“The difference in the game was our freethrows,” said Huron Coach Forrest DeHaven.Huron made only 8 of 18 free throws from theline.

Melinda Oster led the Yellow Jackets in scor-ing with 25 points, followed by Rhea Duncanwith 24. Jessi Webb and Tracy Winjum had 13each. Amanda Schelle followed up with 11.

In spite of the two wins, Dobbs remains con-cerned with his lack of depth on the bench. “Thisis the second night in a row we’ve played withonly 7 players. Shots falling short, weak freethrows...that’s what happens and the risk you takewith only 8 to 9 players.”

Things heated up for another weekend of winning forthe BHSU Men's Yellow Jackets at the Young Center onJan. 15 and 16. The Jackets netted two SDIC conferencewins by defeating Dakota State and Huron on their hometurf.

The 73-48 victory gavethe BHSUYellow Jackets their100th win since they startedplay at the Donald E. YoungCenter.

During Friday's bout theJacket offense proved to be toomuch for Dakota State as theyracked up 98 points toMadison's 67.

Travis Traphagen led theunbeatable offense with 23points, 15 of which came frombeyond the three point mark.Brian Fennema followed inpoints with 13, Mike Smithand Derrick Lockman added11 each, and Trent Traphagenhelped keep the Jackets in dou-ble digits with 10. Jason Smidtwas the leading scorer forDakota State with 21 points.

The Jackets not onlyoutscored their opponents butout-rebounded them as well.Pulling down big boards forthe Jackets was Brett Theelerwith six, followed by pointguard Josh McNames with 5.

BH Junior Brant Millercommented on Friday night'saction, saying, “The team did agreat job bringing everythingtogether on both ends (offense and defense) to give us a bigwin.”

Fortunately, Friday night's victory wasn't the week-

end's only “big win” for the Jackets. Saturdaynight's win against the Huron Screaming Eaglesproved to be just as pleasing for the 3,108 fansthat packed the Young Center.The 73-48 victorymarkedwin number 100 sincethey began play at the Young Center five yearsago.

“It was probably the best overall perfor-mance I’ve seen from theJackets all season.” saidBHSU student RyanRemington.
