By LarryBurke

Nearly two years of anxious waiting will end this spring when workers wind up construction on BSU's spanking new $5million science building. But even after contractors have hammered the last nail,will the building be ready for summer school? Ninety-nine percent of it probably will.But the unfinished one percent has touched off a professional dialogue between worried science department chairmen Russ Centanni, Jack Dalton and Gary Newby and project architect Joseph LaMarche. LaMarche, who designed the compli­ cated building, feels confident it will be done in time for classes which start June 6. But the science folks aren't so sure. With spring semester half over, worry lines have started to form as they see construction on the third floor move "agonizingly slow." "If it's not done soon, summer classes will be jeopardized," says biology chair­ man Russ Centanni. The chairmen say it will take at least two weeks to install equipment needed to teach classes.That means if the build­ ing is done just as summer school starts. it will be too late to get the machines in place .

Let's Go Dutch Like four men sitting over post-luncheon coffee eyeing the tab, four important agencies important to the chances for a multi-purpose activities pavilion at BSU have had the waiting silence broken. Thanks to vivid student body leadership, persistent and eloquent through ballots and careful committee work, one of those four agencies has offered "let's go Dutch on this one." If ever those others owed a response to a student body, they do on this one. Here was no riotous, revolutionary mob scene, so often seen with anger by observers of campus politics. Here were the students of BSU, expressing deep desires through the ballot box, the Pavilion Study com­ mittee's parliamentary procedures, and then, again, the ballot box. And doing it while others responsible to BSU's campus development sat mutely, waiting for such orderly leadership. The others are those who can also make a BSU-Boise multi-purpose activity center a reality. They are, in order around the table, the State Board of Education, the Greater Boise Auditorium District and private donors who have expressed interest in what such a facility can do for their university and their community. Like the four luncheon diners, each no doubt hoped the others would pick up the tab, so they talked about the lunch being great-and waited. By their first vote, their careful report and now a second vote the ASBSU system has spoken boldly to the problem. "Yes, we want this thing.No, we can't afford to pay for this one as we have so many others." Then, helpfully: "But we'll put in a portion ...what'll you put in?" Focus has been critical, in the past, of both the sophistication and clarity of decision-making by the students of Boise State University. We're very proud of our students, on this issue, and we happily endorse their polite request that the others who share the b�nefits of this campus share paying for its proper growth. Speak up folks, your overburdened students have reached, helpfully, toward that bill. Now it's your turn. BCH

Educational Development: An American Tradition

By David Lambert Development Director

The history of college development began in the year 1638 when the son of a family of London butchers died of consumption in the colonial town of CharlP.ston on Massa­ chusetts Bay, leaving half of an estate, valued at 1700 English pounds, to a fledgling college. In gratitude to benefactor John Harvard, the college adopted his name and so hegan the long and successful courtship between American education and philanthropists.

Today, Harvard University's endowments total more than a billion doUars arul while no other institution of higher education in Ame rica hasbeen able to match the contribu­ tions given to Harvard, such gifts and grants given to support colleges arul universit ·es far outstrip those of any other nation. This philosophy has been the significant factvr in building the system of education in the United States to what it is today. Since colonial days, a major activity for college officials has been conducting the search for much needed revenue. In their efforts to discover potential donors no stone was left unturned. Indeed, the ingenuity of educational fund·raisers has been instru· mental in building our educational institutions into an American tradition that has been the envy of the world. In their quest for wealthy patrons, many colleges were willing to sell their names for a sizeable donation. Thus the names of numerous philanthropists grace American educational institutions: Carnegie Institute of Technology, Cornell University, Dart­ mouth College, Duke University, Rice University, and Stanford University, to name a few.

Colleges began emerging in increasing numbers during the period between the Revolution and the Civil War. During this time span many colleges began affiliation:; with religious denominations. Subsequently, each of these colleges would turn initially to the church for its revenue.

Sweet 0Id Bob's Sportin' Life by Bob C. Hall

With his recruiting lines already neatly cast to promising pools of western prep talent,Bus Connor allowed himself a rare post-season beer with the boys at a local tavern last week. It was Bus at his best, leaning on his spine, legs stuck out to keep him from sliding flat on his back off the chair, head tilting to one side, then the other to punctuate points aboutbasketball, basketball, basketball. Much of the talk was usual stuff-the best recruits he's seen, the best recruits he's heard of,the crazy knife-edge separating basketball success and failure in so many last-second situations. What isn't usual is that Bus has his fans, in spite of his record. Most coaches need good numbers, like a broker, to stay popular. One year ago, after a season many called coaching genius (good num­ bers),Bus travelled the coffee shops and taverns, slouched on his spine, disclaiming achievement, disarming such questions as "With that record are you going to move on, now?" with such Bus-eana as "Yeah, I might ... except nobody's asked me... you know anybody who would?" The eyes pop a clown's query under the funny, over-brushy eyebrows, but the honest humility is startling and serious. Happy With Friends and Wisecracks This post-season,he packs a floperoo string of numbers to the same easy haunts, expecting no hassle, taking the ribs with crackback wise­ cracks that says "Hey, we're friends. I know you know better and I shoulda done better... so what else about basketball you wanna argue about?" So the people who know basketball in Boise (count 'em, quick) are as happy to see Bus after this kind of season as they are after a winner. Shoot, basketball people are happy to see Bus ANY time-and that's going some for those who know the general personality of basketball coaches is pretty strange to start with. Considering the gym (and this is one of the last schools on earth where they still call it that), the budget and the community belief that basket- ... . nit b 1s one o e ew me coac es w o can wor ere. e rea y es h1s ans and they like him. He really believes people are more important than upholstered domes and deep-pile locker rooms. Bus is your fundamental chemistry coach-a dab of science, a touch of kind care for the kids, a pinch of money in a vessel of fan rapport and bag the numbers, it was a fun winter. So this time, the good guy finished almost last. So what, let's talk rHREE BRONCO BUSTERS from Boiae State UDiverlity showed their aldlls before 6,000 State College RodeoiD Ogden's Golden Spike Arena this month. [TOP)Dan KaUer looked basketball!

By that time, they will have hauled horses in trailers, behind pickups full of rodeo'ers and tack, roughly four thousand-plus miles to cover the 1976-77 rodeo circuit shows at BYU,at Snow College,at Weber State, at College of Southern Idaho, Dixie College and Salt Lake Tech. Before the final rodeo May 28, they will have made the long,lonely night ride across southern Idaho and deep into Utah's salt-caked backroads five more times. Lean young men and trim young women, they take their own pocket money and a pitiful dab of club funds to keep one of the school's longest athletic seasons (that involves more contestants per event than any other sport in the region), going. They do it by sleeping two-to-a-bed in Big 6 Motels, skipping lunch, buying breakfast in food store sacks that can be parceled out on the pickup seat en route. They are the last of the once-traditional "club sports" teams here, true amateurs (or at least earnest semi-pros) who do it for love of their sports craft. Club President Craig DeVeny keeps the club files, packs a bewildering process of inter-school correspondence, event results and region rules in his head lfis club budget, drawn from Bronco Rodeo ticket sales and an ASBSU ctub contribution is neatly accounted weekly in the club check­ book. He gets his team there on time, checks their eligibility, signs them in with the arena secretary, parcels out funds, keeps careful receipts and then hangs his slight, wiry rump over the chutes to check rigging and · cheer his mates before each ride. Between all that, the Riggins, Idaho education student sticks a Brahma bull like a pesky cocklebur despite a painful strained wrist. He swears softly because he "missed his mount" (didn't get spurs to the saddle bronc's shoulder on the first jump) and then flew through a fine; non-scoring ride. Minutes later he sprints down the arena center to scrape a teammate, flapping a broken arm, out of a scary sprawl in the soft arena dirt. Bronco sports fans (who ought to be rodeo fans as well in this country) can salute the kind of young man and woman once a year, at the Bronco Roundup show April�� and 23. Mark it down and watch for ticket opportunities. It's all the BAA-type support these fine student athletes get. �OCUS11

"It has indeed been pleasant and inter­ esting to have been here during the growth and development of this school," Smith said. "It has been a rewarding experience to have had the opportunity to work with the many fine young men that have participated in our program. I attribute to these young men the success that we have enjoyed," he said. Smith has been at Boise State (then ealled Boie&Junior College) since 1946. His initial duties at BJC included head basketball coach, assistant football coach and he was also in charge of the GI hous­

ing. In 1947 he became athletic • ·rector, head football coach, baseball coach and head of the Physical Education Depart­ ment. From 1947 to the conclusion of the 1967 season, Smith's Bronco teams achieved an amazing 158-25-6 record, a winning percentage of 85 percent. Dur­ ing those years, he took the Broncos to five Potato Bowls, one Junior Rose Bowl and his 1958 team won the National Junior College championship by defeat­ ing Tyler Texas JC 22-0. Lyle turned his full attention to his position as athletic director when he stepped down from his baseball coaching duties after the 1973 season. Lyle has rendered service nationally, having served on a number of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) - committees. He was born in Whitman County, Washington and moved with his parents and family to Moscow, Idaho in 1924. He attended Moscow High School where he competed in football and in basketball. The Bears were undefeated in football and won the state basketball tourna­ ments in both his junior and senior years. Lyle wa... selected on the all-state basketball teams both years. Following his graduation from Mos­ cow High School in 1934, he attended Idaho State University (then called the Southern Branch of the University of Idaho) where he was a linebacker and halfback in football and played forward on the basketball team. For the next three years (1936-39) fol­ lowing his time at Idaho State, Lyle attended the University of Idaho in Mos­ cow. He played both football and basket­ ball for th� Vandals. He was a center in football and a forward his first year at Idaho. Lyle's last two years in basketball he was a guard and co-captained the team his senior year. In 1939, Lyle accepted a coaching job at Firth, Idaho. After one year he went into private business, but returned to the coaching ranks in the spring of 1941 at Moscow High School. - �OCUS12
