TrusteesReaffirm NCAA DivisionI StatusFor EWU IntercollegiateAthletics r ,c. - J The Eastern Washington University Board of Trustees has voted to con­ tinue the university's intercollegiate athletic program at the current NCAA Division I level, an issue under study for two years. The action was taken at a meeting March 23. In making a motion for approval, trustee Jack Geraghty stipulated that sound fiscal practices be maintained and that a set of principles be adopted by the board to guide management of the athletic program. The motion carried unanimously, followed by approval of nine of the 10 "Principles of Intercollegiate Athletics" developed by the EWU Athletic Policy Board (APB). The Principle of Sound Fiscal Management was subsequently adopted by the trustees April 27 after modifications. Board chair James Kirschbaum said he believed the revised version was as strong or EASTERNDEDICATES SCIENCE ADDITION stronger than the original.

"My dream is to be an editorial cartoonist at a daily newspaper,• Carroll says, "and everything I do, ' ' including studying government, is tied ~~~~:~ into that goal. I figure having a degree in political science will give me more credibility." While he was in Bellingham, Carroll completed an internship as an editorial cartoonist at The Bellingham Herald. He worked with Dick Beardsley, the editorial page editor, who gave him encouragement and a minimum of direction. "He published just about everything I gave him," says Carroll, "but he was pretty blunt when he turned things down. And looking back, I see there was always a good reason not to print the cartoons he didn't like. Of course, I didn't think so then.• He has made at least one important contact since returning to Spokane last summer - Milt Priggee, the editorial cartoonist for The Spokesman-Review/ Spokane Dat/y Chronicle. "He's been very helpful," says Carroll, "and encouraging. He's given me pointers on how to look for jobs and how to refine my work. He's been totally honest with me. He said my stuff still needed work, and I appreci­ ate that." Working out of his home on the north side of Spokane, Carroll has submitted his work to various press syndicates around the country.

"I'd take the Spokesman over the Washington Post or any other big city newspaper - because this is where I want to live." Though he knows his chances are slim - the ensconced Priggee is extremely popular - Carroll says he'd even take part-time work. "I doubt if Milt will leave," he says. "He probably likes it here, too. But I'll keep hanging in there."
