Charged with examining BSU's role and future, reports from the committees (Meaning of the University, Future of the University, and Academic Assess­ ment) will be finished by the end of the semester. Those topics were subjects for three days of university-wide discussions before school started. Transcripts from those meetings have been used to help the committees with their final drafts.

To use the old cliche, the Broncos are one of the best 7-4 teams around. Only 15 points stood between them and an undefeated season. They never did get "blown out" by an opponent, with their biggest loss coming in the Montana game, 15-7. Others were 31-29 at Mon­ tana State and 31-30 at Northern Ari­ zona. It was also a season that saw BSU's defense lead the league for the first time in years. On the other hand, the offense was sometimes good, sometimes bad. The three points against Cal Poly, for example, is the lowest Bronco output since 1970 when they could manage only a field goal against Hiram Scott.

At the seminar, con­ ducted by Joy Smith, also a published free lance writer, he was advised to re­ write and polish his manuscripts and attempt to get them published. He has had articles accepted by IncredibleIdaho for which he wrote "Gooding, City of Rocks," published in the Fall, 1978 edi­ tion, and for which he is now completing an article on the Basque people of Idaho.
