The building was rated behind $600,000 to bring state buildings in com­ pliance with life safety codes and $1.2 million for new prison facilities. The Advisory Council recommended nearly $5.6 million for new building projects next year. BSU is asking for $2.5 million this year and another $2.5 million next year to build the classrooms that will house theatre arts, music, and communication. The arts and humanities building will be part of the Morrison Center, which w ill also include a performing arts theatre built from private donations. Boise State's request for $2.5 million in Fiscal 1981 now goes to the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee in the legislature, where bearings are Old Glory supplants Christmas decor in BSU student window as the call for scheduled for Jan. 9.

While there probably won't be another decade filled with as much change as the Seventies, Boise State watchers will still be plenty busy keeping track of President John Keiser's wish list for the Eighties. Here is a guide to what is planned for the next decade. MULTI-PURPOSE PAVILION - BSU's need for a large arena to hold athletic events and other perfor­ mances that attract large audiences will be met early in the new decade. Groundllreaking for the Sl4 million building willtake place later this month, with the opening scheduled for 1982. MORRISON CENTER - A building to house BSU's programs in music, theatre arts, and communication, plus a large performing arts theatre, is planned for the '80's. The performing center will be built with private donations and the classroom will be funded with state money. An architectural firm has been hired, and if the legislature approves the funds, construction could begin as early as 1981. SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS - In 1980 BSU will present a plan to the State Board of Education that will establish a new academic unit to include the departments of political science and philosophy, social work, sociology, criminal justice, and anthropology, military science, and communication. CORE CURRICULUM REVISION - A committee is currently working on a revision of the core classes that BSU students must take to graduate. WESTERN STUDIES CENTER - A center that will house documents and memorabilia from the West, as weD as serve as an academic focus for Western studies, has been proposed as another project for the 1980's by Keiser.

Grants Policy

By Dr. Jerry Reed Coordinator, Grants and Contracts Center for Research, Grants and Contracts

Before any grant proposal is mailed, and before any grant contract is signed and returned, the sender should know that BSU does have a simple internal procedure it follows prior to proposal submission. The form that must be attached to each proposal, application, agree­ ment, or contract is titled "Request for Approval of Grant, Contract, or Agreement." This one-page form asks for such information as the title of your project, the name of the project director, the agency being applied to, amounts requested, cost-sharing requirements (if any), BSU person­ nel to be involved, starting and finishing dates, a brief summary of the project, etc. The form requires the approving initials of (a) the depart­ ment chairperson, (b) the dean of the school, (c) the Center for Research, Grants and Contracts, (d) the vice president for financial affairs, and (e) the president (when appropriate).

Ensemble • • /OSBf/BS When most people think of classical music, they think of orchestral music. But some of the most exquisite music ever composed has been written not for orchestra, but for small chamber groups. This month Idaho public television begins a series combining the substantial talents of Idaho musicians with some of the best of three hundred years of chamber music. Produced by BSU's KAID-TV, through a grant from the Idaho State Commission on the Arts and additional funding from Mountain Bell, Idaho in Concert is a six-part series of chamber music performance, showcasing ensem­ bles from all across the state. Each half­ hour program is devoted to just one period in musical history and begins with a brief introduction to the period. Idaho in Concert debuts Sunday, Jan. 20, at 10 p.m. with a program of baroque music. Continuing on Sunday nights, future programs feature music of the
