37 MSU STUDENTS STUDY
IN EUROPE THIS SPRING
Thirty-seven students will take part in an eight-week humanities study tour in Europe this spring through Moorhead State University. Five of those weeks will be spent at Oxford, England, followed by a three-week tour of major European cities.
The program, called Eurospring, is offered each year at MSU as part of a focus on international studies.
On the tour, running from March 23 through May 18, students will spend most of their time at Wycliffe Hall in Oxford where they will enroll in courses and attend lectures on the Renaissance. They’ll also take several field trips to historic sites ranging from Stonehenge and Stratford-upon-Avon to the ancient Roman baths and Warwick Castle.
The European leg of their tour includes stops in Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice, Salzburg, Amsterdam and, in Germany, Weimar and Leipzig.
Before leaving, the students began a prep course the first half of this semester, which they will complete on tour and mail to their instructors. The tour will be led by MSU theatre professor Jim Bartruff.
Students going on the tour: Nicole Claveau, Jonette Belch, Amy Gryskiewicz, Jessica Childress, Heather Kemp, Jason Spencer, Kellie Louden, Kyle Oberg, Mark Jesinoski, Kari Parr, Missy Truscinski, Jean Hemstad, Stacy Wood, Tyrel Johnson, Kristine Hakes, Jessica Lintel, Katie Hoffman, Kelly Cameron, Erin Snelgrove, Sarah Olmschenk, Shannon Rasmusson, Kathryn Larsen, Lynae Willette, Amy Swisher, Michael Weerts, Eric Ranz, Sarah Jackson, Jen Wild, Sarah Gunkelman, Amber Mauch, Catie Pratt, Danielle Masseth, Renee Ziemann, Kathryn Pederson, Natasha Woitzel, Amber Scott and Melissa Deutsch.

MSU ACCOUNTING STUDENTS
OFFERING FREE TAX HELP
A group of MSU accounting majors, trained in class and tested by the Internal Revenue Service, will help individuals complete their income tax forms during March at designated locations in Fargo and Moorhead.
The students, working with the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, will answer questions and help fill out individual income tax forms. Free federal and state electronic filing will also be available. They will not, however, work on farm, casualty losses, rental or self-employed tax forms.

THEME YEAR: ARTS 2000
Based on suggestions from MSU students, the Theme Year Committee has selected "Looking Forward to the Future" as this year’s theme.
As a result, the committee will sponsor Arts 2000, a festival of student artwork and performance, which will be held on campus the last week of March. One of the assumptions is that the student artists of today will constitute the first wave of professional artists on the new millennium, therefore, the festival aims to give the MSU community a glimpse of what the art of the future will be.

APAC MINUTES
FEBRUARY 15, 2000
Members present:  Borchers, Borgeson, Conteh, Dunkirk, Frederick, Goodman, Grineski, Jeppson, Klenk, Klindworth, Neuman, Reed, Sanderson, Shimabukuro Welken.
The order of the agenda was changed because Dr. Shreve has a 4:00 class.
1. Elementary and Early Childhood Education
Dunkirk moved. Neuman seconded to approve the proposal to change the admission policy for EECE majors.
Roberta Shreve was present to answer questions. The proposal recommended is as follows:
Any student seeking admission to the Elementary and Early Childhood Education program must demonstrate evidence of adequate English written language communication skills. Any one of the following constitutes adequate evidence:
* An overall GPA of 3.0 in at least 6 credits of Freshman English (The Teacher Preparation Committee voted to amend this wording at their 2/3/00 meeting to the following:  "A minimum grade of 3.0 in at least 2 courses (6 credits) of Freshman English.")
* Passing score on EECE Department essay exam
* Passing score on writing portion of PPST exam
If the student chooses to take the EECE Department exam, and does not pass, that student may:
* Retake the exam after completing an additional writing course
* Appeal the failing score on first exam (The Appeal Process was also outlined in the proposal.)
Motion to approve the proposal as amended by the Teacher Preparation Committee carried unanimously.
2. Honor Cord and Honor Pin Policy from the Student Senate
Stephanie McCleerey, Student Senate President, was present to answer questions. VP Midgarden stated that this issue was discussed at the 12/7/99 APAC meeting and students were allowed to wear cords at the fall semester commencement. McCleerey added that honor societies wish to recognize their students at commencement so the Student Senate discussed this issue and recommend the following:
A. An approval process through the office of Academic Affairs
* Application from the honor society’s advisor
* The society GPA requirement on the application
* On application a description of the pin
B. That those honored by cords be students recognized for their university GPA. These students will be distinguished as follows:
* Summa Cum Laude will wear red and white cords.
* Magna Cum Laude will wear red cords.
* Cum Laude will wear white cords.
C. Those students to be honored by pins are part of a nationally recognized honor society that has a GPA requirement.
* Pins need to be approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs
* Deadline for pin proposal is mid-term of the current graduating semester.
D. A printed insertion is added to the commencement program explaining the following:
* Three university recognized cords
* An explanation of the honor societies and a description of the pin.
Sanderson moved. Welken seconded to approve this process.
McCleerey stated that honor societies have to be nationally recognized academically so this does not include fraternities and sororities.
Motion carried unanimously.
Midgarden and McCleerey will send a memo asking faculty advisors and student presidents of the honor societies to submit the required information in order to be included in the spring commencement program. The first time application deadline will be March 31. Teresa Helfter Glover will collect applications and then forward them to Academic Affairs for approval. Department chairpersons will also be advised of the new policy.
3. Accounting Department
Minor Change:
The committee had no concerns with the following change except those expressed by Dr. Conteh which the committee discussed, and which are described below.
Add Speech 301: Business and Professional Communication as another option for Accounting majors to complete their upper-level writing requirement.
George Sanderson was present to answer questions and stated that adding SPCH 301 will give accounting majors another option. Conteh expressed his concern of the availability of offering this course for students and asked if additional sections will be offered. Borchers stated that the speech department  may consider offering more sections as well as during the summer. Frederick stated that giving accounting majors SPCH 301 as another course option would alleviate availability problems for English 286 and 387 sections.
4. Language Department
Major Changes:
Sanderson moved. Frederick seconded to approve the following new courses:
LANG 441/541: Methods & Materials in Teaching Foreign Languages I (4 cr.)
LANG 442/542: Methods & Materials in Teaching Foreign Languages II (4 cr.)
Shimabukuro suggested that the catalog descriptions for both courses be more descriptive so it is clear to students what the course objectives are. John Hall was present to answer questions and explained the differences in the courses and how these courses meet the Board of Teaching requirements. Hall stated that the Language department may need to hire an adjunct faculty member to teach a lower level language course so that he can teach the second course. In the past, there was only one such course. Sanderson asked if these courses add 4 credits to the secondary education licensure track. Hall answered that it would add 4 credits but there is no option to eliminate credits as language is a pertinent part of the licensure testing.  Midgarden questioned if an English as a Second Language track could use the courses. Hall said they would serve those students well.
Hall stated a change in the course proposals:  441/541 would be offered spring semesters and 442/542 would be offered fall semesters; beginning fall semester 2000/2001 if approved. He will work with John Tandberg to modify the course descriptions (the new course descriptions can be obtained from Academic Affairs.)
Motion to approve both courses with the modified course descriptions carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 4:15 p.m.

SHARON FERRIS
RETIRES FROM MSU
AFTER 35 YEARS
Sharon Ferris, director of MSU’s academic support programs, will retire Feb. 29 after a 35-year career on campus.
She’ll be honored at a
2 to 4 p.m. retirement party Thursday, Feb. 24 in the student union’s Comstock Room. The program starts at 2:30 p.m.
Ferris joined the MSU staff in 1965 as secretary to then academic dean Maurice Townsend (who went on to become president of West Georgia College). When Roland Dille became academic dean the next year, she served as his secretary until Dille was named president of the university in 1968.
Ferris then became administrative assistant to academic dean Robert Hanson, who became president of Winona State, and three MSU academic vice presidents—the late William Jones, F.C. Richardson and Roland Barden, all who eventually became college presidents. She was appointed director of academic support services in 1993.
Originally from Devils Lake, N.D., Ferris holds an undergraduate degree in office administration from MSU and a master’s degree in educational administration from Tri-College University. She and her husband have two grown children.

Harris, who chairs MSU’s history department, writes and speaks regularly on the topic of American Protestant missionaries.

TUSKEGEE AIRMAN TALKS
ABOUT BLACK WWII PILOT
SQUADRON FEB. 29 AT MSU
Dr. Bill Morgan, a retired Fergus Falls dentist and former member of the all-black World War II fighter and bomber squadrons called the Tuskegee Airmen, will discuss his role in an effort that helped pave the way toward integrating the military at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 29 in MSU’s King Hall auditorium.
The program, free and open to the public, is sponsored by MSU’s multicultural affairs office in recognition of Black History Month.
As a preview of Morgan’s visit, the 1995 movie "Tuskegee Airmen" starring Laurence Fishburne will be shown free at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 28 in room 227 of the university’s student union.
The Army Air Corps, in 1941, began a program in Alabama to train black Americans as military pilots at the Tuskegee Institute, a college founded by black American educator Booker T. Washington in 1881.
At the time, Morgan said, the United States military didn’t have a program to train blacks pilots. But pressure from black organizations, the NAACP and enlightened whites cracked the Jim Crow wall and laid the foundation for the Tuskegee Airmen.
By the end of World War II, 992 black men had graduated from pilot training at Tuskegee, 450 of them sent overseas for combat assignment. They flew 15,553 sorties and 1,500 missions over Europe, and the pioneer aviators returned home with 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses and Legions of Merit. About 150 lost their lives while in training or on combat flights.
 Their success helped lead to the 1948 decision by Pres. Harry Truman to end racial segregation in the military, Morgan said, giving blacks and other minorities the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Morgan, now 78, was in the last class to graduate from the Tuskegee Flying Cadet Corps. "I never had a chance to fly combat missions," he said. "But I sure did learn a lot about myself and my potential."
Raised in the all-white western Pennsylvania mining town of Yukon, the Morgans were the only black family in the community. "I felt like a speck of pepper in a field of rice," he said.
After his father died in a mining accident when he was young boy, Morgan’s  mother bought a farm.
"I remember as a youngster lying in the haystacks and looking up in the sky at the planes flying over," he said. "Becoming a pilot was my ambition and dream."
But being black, the prospect seemed impossible.
After graduating from high school, Morgan began a career as a door-to-door salesman, but returned to the farm after seven months and also took a job as a steel worker. His critical jobs in the steel industry and in farming earned him a deferment from military service. But by chance, he came across a copy of the Pittsburgh Courier, an all-black newspaper, where he saw an Army Air Corps advertisement for an experimental program to train black pilots.
"I applied and was accepted, a pleasant and rewarding surprise," Morgan said. "I was a bit scared. All my life I grew up around whites and was a stranger to my own race. Now I was going to join an all-black military outfit. Worse yet, the first base we were trained at was in Mississippi, then we went to Tuskegee in Alabama. I wasn’t looking forward to leaving the bases because I heard talk of discrimination and tales of abuse."
Of the 435 candidates admitted for the pre-aviation cadet corps in Morgn’s class, only 35 were accepted as cadets and earned their wings in the Army Air Corps.
"In the beginning, most of the instructors at Tuskegee were white," he said. "A lot of them resented us and were tough on us. But that changed as blacks came back from combat and filled the instructor pool."
But when he completed his training, the war had ended. "I was disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to fly combat missions. But the whole experience changed me a great deal. I’m just proud that I was part of that piece of history."
Morgan then went to the University of Pittsburgh, earning his degree in dentistry. Soon after, he set up a practice in Pittsburgh. "But after nine years, I yearned to get back to the country. I was raised in a small town on a farm. And I liked that."
He responded to an advertisement in the American Dental Association journal for a job opening in a small Minnesota town called Wanamingo, 50 miles north of Rochester.
"I was a little curious about moving to the Midwest and this small Norwegian community," he said. "So I took my wife and children on a little summer vacation to visit this place. At first, we drove right through the town and missed it. Then we turned around and finally found the place. It was deserted on a Saturday afternoon. Then we saw this gentleman coming out of the co-op store and he approached us. ‘Are you Morgan?’ he asked. ‘By golly, you’re not as black as I thought you’d be.’ He happened to be the mayor and after that we became very good friends. He got the town out in great numbers to welcome us and make us feel at home."
That was 1967. He was the town dentist in Wanamingo for 13 years, then moved to Fergus Falls and worked at the state hospital for six more years until he retired in 1986.
"During World War II, the military brass, as I recalled, were reluctant to send the Tuskegee Airmen into combat," Morgan said. "Then First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt publicized their plight by going to Tuskegee and having one of the black pilots take her for a plane ride."
Mrs. Roosevelt helped put pressure on the establishment and soon after her visit, the airmen were assigned to combat duty.
"She was a great advocate and supporter for the rights of minorities," Morgan said.
By the end of the war, the black airmen destroyed or damaged 409 enemy aircraft, including the last four victories of the Army Air Corps in the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. Two hundred of those missions were as heavy bomber escorts deep into the Rhineland.
The black squadron was called Red Tails because the tails of their planes were painted red. But the bomber pilots referred to them as "Red Tailed Black Angels" because they never lost a single plane to German fighters while the black airmen were on
escort duty.
 "I’m so proud they went on to play an important role in World War II," Morgan said. "Long live the memory of the Red Tail Airmen. Amen."

APAC MINUTES
FEBRUARY 1, 2000
Members present: Reed, chair; Borchers, Borgeson, Conteh, Dalhouse, Davis, Dunkirk, Enz-Finken, Frederick, Goodman, Klenk, Klindworth, Ruth, Sanderson, Shimabukuro, Lane, Welken.
1. Political Science
a. Minor Change:
There was no objection to the following:
Change course level of POL/CJ 232: Criminal Law (3 cr.) to 335.
b. Major Change:
Sanderson moved. Borchers seconded to approve of the new course:
POL 337: Criminal Procedure (3 cr.)  This course would be cross-listed with Criminal Justice 337.
Paul Kramer was present to answer questions. Sanderson asked if students should complete POL 335 prior to taking 337 and if prerequisites should be added to the proposal. Kramer stated that there was no need to take 335 prior to 337. He was not opposed to adding prerequisites to POL 337 and indicated that students most likely to enroll in 337 are paralegal, political science and criminal justice majors. Paralegal majors are required to take ACCT 205; political science majors, POL 230; and criminal justice majors, CJ 200. Sanderson suggested that students be required to complete one of the three courses (ACCT 205 or POL 230 or CJ 200) as a prerequisite to POL 337. Kramer agreed to that change.

Ruth noted that SOC 303 has prerequisites SOC 110 and 112. Conteh questioned the similarities in titles of SOC 303 & 304. Hansel explained the difference between the two courses and indicated that the department may make additional changes to SOC 303. Sanderson suggested an amendment to add "SOC 110 or CJ 200 or consent of instructor" as prerequisites to the SOC 304 course proposal.
Motion as amended, carried unanimously.
There were no objections to the following changes:
Cross list POL 337: Criminal Procedure (3 cr.) with CJ 337
Increase the number of credits in the Criminal Justice major from 44 to 46.
Reduce restricted elective credits from 13 to 12.
3. Anthropology and Earth Science Department
There were no objections to the following change:
Change title, catalogue description and reduce credits of ANTH 248: Theory through Institutions (4 cr.) to: Ideas of Culture (3 cr.). (These changes were approved by the Liberal Studies Committee at their 1/18/00 meeting for continued designation for Liberal Studies C credit.
The committee discussed the seminar component of ANTH 445/545 at length. Mike Michlovic was present to answer questions and he explained how he teaches this course. He stated that seminars are taught differently dependent upon the faculty member. Dalhouse asked if the catalog description for ANTH 445/545 would change. The committee had no objection to the following change although Michlovic agreed to broaden the description of the course.
Reduce credits of ANTH 445/545: Seminar in Anthropology from 4 to 3. (The Graduate Studies Committee approved this change via e-mail 12/6/99.)
Conteh suggested that the APAC examine how seminars are taught in order to clarify this for future discussions. Ruth noted that departments may have varying definitions of a seminar. Conteh requested that the discussion of the definition of seminar be placed on a future APAC agenda.
The result of APAC’s vote on Conteh’s request: 8 Yes/6 No.
4. English Department
Minor Change
The committee had no objection to the following:
Change course level of ENGL 461: Introduction to Descriptive Linguistics (3 cr.) to: 361
Major Change:
Ruth moved. Shimabukuro seconded to approve the following new courses:
ENGL 111: Composition and Literature for Non-Native Speakers (4 cr.)
ENGL 112: Composition and Literature for Non-Native Speakers (4 cr.)
(The Liberal Studies Committee tabled the proposal for Liberal Studies A credit for these courses at their 1/18/00 meeting and then approved the designations at their 1/20/00 meeting.)
Joy Janzen was present to answer questions. She stated that these courses had been offered in the past but removed from the curriculum and she is requesting that they be reinstated. Janzen indicated that one section per semester (Engl 111 fall semester and Engl 112 spring semester) would be offered. Enz Finken noted that the students that need this type of course, may not register because they believe their English is adequate. Those students might fail in other areas without assistance with the English language. Davis suggested that students registered for English 101 and 102 who need this help, be funneled into the English 111 or 112 courses.
Conteh suggested that these courses be mandatory for student from CIS (previous Soviet Union) since those students are not required to take an English course as they are here only for one year. Tandberg stated that CIS students are not degree seeking students. Reed suggested that Conteh’s concern be brought to the Global Studies Committee.
Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.

STRATTON LEADS SUCCESSFUL
DEBATE TO SAVE 300 ACRES OF
ENDANGERED NATURAL PRAIRIE
Former MSU faculty member Marcel Stratton led a group of his rural neighbors that was able to conduct a nine-month battle before the Clay County Planning and Zoning Committee and the Clay County Board of Commissioners to thwart a proposal to mine gravel in one Tansem Township site near Rollag, Minn.
What initially began as their "not-in-my-backyard" reaction to the prospect of heavy truck noise, dust and traffic dangers turned into the realization that the land and its natural prairie grasses, wild flowers and animals would be forever lost if gravel mining permits were granted.
After nine months of meetings and appearances before committees and commissions, the Clay County board voted to agree to their request for an environmental impact study of the site.
The final outcome resulted in a proposal by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to purchase the 300 acres of land, which will be designated as "Tansem Prairie Scientific and Natural Area" for public use.
Another nine months will determine the final conclusion of the campaign, during which time the DNR will seek the necessary funding.

COMPOSER/SAXOPHONIST
ROSCOE MITCHELL TO
PERFORM AT MSU FEB. 19
A concert of works by world renowned composer and multi-instrumentalist Roscoe Mitchell will be held at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19 in MSU’s Weld Hall Auditorium. It will feature performances by the MSU New Music Ensemble, directed by Ross Feller; the MSU Jazz Ensemble, directed by Ted DiSanti; and Roscoe Mitchell.
The concert is free and open to the public.
Mitchell will be in-residence at MSU that week giving masterclasses, rehearsing and meeting with students. Two masterclasses are free and open to the public. A saxophone/woodwind masterclass will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 16. Mitchell will discuss and play recordings of his work from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18. Both classes will be held in the Roland Dille Center for the Arts room 144.
Mitchell, who grew up in Chicago, helped found The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), an African-American educational institution that produced some of the most creative and influential musicians of our time. He also co-founded the Art Ensemble of Chicago.
Mitchell is a major contributor to the musical literature that ushered in the post-Coltrane era, as well as a composer whose music bridges the gaps between jazz, classical and avant-garde. His innovations as a performer, his role in the resurrection of woodwind instruments, and his reassertion of the composer into what has traditionally been an improvisational form, have placed him at the forefront of the contemporary music scene for the past 30 years.
Mitchell has received many awards for his compositions and performances, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Minnesota Composer’s Forum, and the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique Musique in Paris. His recordings have been chosen as Down Beat magazine’s Record of the Year and the Art Ensemble of Chicago has been selected many times as the Best Jazz Group. His works are heard on no less than 85 recordings.
His MSU concert will feature "Snurdy McGurdy and Her Dancin’ Shoes," "Stomp and the Far East Blues," "Till Autumn," and "Memoirs of a Dying Parachutist," among many others. He’ll also perform several solos and in a group improvisation with the New Music Ensemble.

 POET ROBERT BLY TO
READ HERE FEB. 10
Robert Bly, one of America’s best known poets, will read from his work at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10 in MSU’s Comstock Memorial Union Ballroom as a feature of the Tom McGrath Visiting Writers Series.
Bly is a poet, storyteller, translator and worldwide lecturer. Arguably the most influential American author living today, his book, "Iron John" spent 62 weeks on the New York Times hardcover best-seller list and was North America's best-selling non-fiction book in 1991. Two key themes in "Iron John" are the need to recover forms of initiation for contemporary males and the need of younger men for mentors.
Bly is winner of a National Book Award for poetry, and has published a growing collection of poems and translations that express what one critic calls "a deep marriage between the inner and outer worlds in one man's life."
A Madison, Minn., native now living in Minneapolis, Bly is also the author of  "The Sibling Society" and the "Maiden King." His most recent book is "Eating the Honey of Words: New and Selected Poems."

About one-third of those have been MSU students. The rest are admitted under cooperative arrangements with campuses throughout the country.
