Vol. I, No.8 The Monthly Newsmagazine Of Boise State University Boise, Idaho April, 1976 Budget: Won Some LostSoine It was a "won some, lost some" result for Boise State University when the State Board of Education put its final stamp on the school's operating budget allocation from state tax funds April 1 in Pocatello. BSU got an eleven percent allocation increase for 1976-77, a total of $13.7 million. That compared to $12.3 million this year, and it is the highest percent­ age increase awarded among the three universities. The allocation still left BSU far behind the University of Idaho in total budget allocation dollars. UI received a $22.6 million allocation, compared to $21.5 million in its current budget. Thus, UI gets a five percent allocation increase. Idaho State University was awarded $15.5 million for fiscal 1976-77, a seven percent increase over the $14.4 million in its current budget.

Time to Shrink ·T he Band

Somebody had to admit it, and President John Barnes finally did, at the April State Board meeting when the subject accidentally came up. Yes, he acknowledged, the once-steady stream of private funding that kept BSU's marching band costs paid has run dry-with no alternate sugar daddy in sight. With that support prop gone, two others buckled, gradually. BSU students, by action of their Senate,-refused to become a major donor to the program; a policy of awarding scholarships to band members was also thumbed down by both student and faculty groups. All of which triggered some healthy debate about the whole marching band idea. To keep the discussion going, we'll suggest our view. First, the expense of a full marching band is estimated by Mr. Wilbur Elliott as about $25-thousand per year. To date, the athletic department has paid a fair fee for band appearances ($500 per football game, $100 per basketball game), most of which have been counter-productive. For their money, the athletic promoters draw repeated criticism about the quality of the performances which are solid· in- musicianship, but less than exciting to tin-eared football fans. For their efforts on a paltry budget, the band directors and musicians get unfair comparisons to the souped-up high school bands of Boise that offer their players and performers far more time and incentive to "Well, better get busy and violate some more victims. It's develop circus-style routines. gonna be a long hot summer."

Building BSU

by C. Jan Baxter

Director of Gifts & Endowments

For those of you who have been reading this column these past months, you know we have been progressing through a series of articles about charitable giving. We are pleased to report that we have begun to receive inquiries from some of you after reading about tax-wise giving methods. Needless to say, we are pleased to hear from potential donors, because we know that this type of interest can greatly benefit BSU. As always, it is not our position to give legal or tax advice. We are simply trying to present an overview to stimulate some thought on the LACEWORK IS STEELWORK on new Seience phase of Seience-Education Complex subject of charitable giving.

A simple example would be if a man, as first party, transferred at death, his estate, given "normal" reductions, would be taxed at money or property to a bank or trustee, the second party, to be managed approximately the 28% rate.

However, with appreciated BSU agrees to pay Mr. A a fixed percentage of the fair market value of securities, the law allows a 30% annual deduction ceiling of adjusted the trust each year. The percentage of payout is negotiable between Mr. gross income, instead of the aforementioned 50%. A and BSU, but cannot be less than 5% by law. Higher interest rates, What's In It For BSU? however, won't reduce Mr. A's taxes quite u much. In essence, all Mr. The idea of the Unitrust is that Mr. A receives his 6% annually for as A is doing is drawing, say, 6% on his $100,000 from BSU instead of the long as he lives, and after death, BSU receives the trust principle bank. Should the trust principle grow over a period of years to say, ($100,000 or higher if invested wisely). The Unitrust is extremely \ $200,000, then Mr. A would receive 6% of the $200,000 or $12,000 flexible, in that Mr. A can designate the 6% distributions to go to his annually. wife or his children or to anyone else after his death.

Kubitschek's Corner

by Don Kubitschek Bronco Athletic Association

It's time to show our support for the Boise State University Broncos. They have performed as champions during their short tenure in the Big Sky Conference. And there is no reason to believe that they will not continue their championship ways. But as they reach into the future horizons they will need our continued financial assistance. For the Broncos, the Spirit of '76, will be the spirit of the past. WINNING! To do this as aggressively as Boise State has in the Big Sky requires the efforts of hundreds. Southwestern Idaho needs to be involved if we are to carry on in the proud fashion that has been established. We are growing fast, but we need to grow faster if we are to meet the demands of the future. We need new members and we need to raise more money. Even to stand still, it takes more money to match inflation as we all know. And our program cannot be sutcessful without broad­ based Idaho support. Bronco Boosters will begin their drive for monies and new members April 26, and continue through June 3. During this time existing members of the Bronco Boosters will be contacted for renewal of their present membership. We anticipate 100 percent renewal, and would greatly appreciate your cooperation to the Booster Drive. A lot of work has gone into the preparation of this year's drive, as is the case every year. Your dollars are the fruits of the harvest, and we thank you in advance for a bountiful harvest. Presently we have a dozen teams competing for booster awards. But that is not our limit, we are not "locked in," so to speak. If anyone cares to join a team, or make up a team, of his or her own, feel free to call us and do so. We can be reached at 385-3556, and would be more than happy to answer your questions, and have you join us in the fun. Remember, we all like winning, and winning is a Bronco habit. You will never falter standing still. The faster you go, the more chance there is of stumbling but the more chance you have of getting somewhere. Let's not lose the HABIT!

Focus On Spring

No doubt about it, the season had finally turned to spring as the month we've kept in Focus since last issue changed scenes and mood. There we all were, just a few weeks ago, watching Tommy Morgan drive Las Vegas All-American Eddie Owens on his heels in the NCAA basketball playoffs in Eugene's cavernous MacArthur Court; cheering with fifteen thousand fans packed to the Igloo's rafters as Terry Miller outbattled Boyd Batts in the Bronc's last, highest reach for tourney glory. Then, spring and, back on campus, al fresco activities are April's indication the academic year is closinj:t fast. Vo-Tech's "Idaho On Wheels" Bicentennial open house had thousands of visitors admiring classrooms and exhibits of historic vehicles (below) while Rodeo Chairman Gary Ribeiro and BSU broncbuster Craig Deviney checked another historic first-portable rodeo ground chutes and gates that will host the first BSU Invitational Rodeo to be held right on campus, near the Towers dorm. That event, set for Apri116 and 17, will see Boise cowboys and girls go against riders from fifteen Northwest schools. Aswe tracked it all, with pencil and camera. If you turn the pages ins1de, the month will unfold, the way we saw it-in Focus.
