Priority seating prompts resignation; Bleymaier promoted The controversy that flared in late February over a priority seating plan in Bronco Stadium has died down, and BSU seems to be back in the good graces of its fans, says new athletic director Gene Bleymaier, who took over the department following the resignation of Mike Mullally March 3. "I really don't think we have suffered any damage. Dr. Keiser has stated the university's position very clearly, and has probably relieved the community," he said. The priority seating plan was announced Feb. 26 by former athletic director Mike Mullally, who was asked to resign less than a week later. The plan, which was to begin in 1983, would have given the best seats in Bronco Stadium to fans who donate to the Bronco Athletic Association, with the best seats going to the highest donors. The university needed the new seating plan, Mullally said at a press conference, as a means to raise more money for its athletic programs. The system, however, would have forced some long-time season ticket holders to give up their seats, Five Boise mayors, past and present, got together In early March when Boise State held a luncheon to honor the something which drew an immediate negative city and county for their development In the university. The luncheon was part of the school's 50th anniversary response from the fans and local media. celebration. Mayors In attendance Included, seated from left, H. Westerman Willock (41-42 and 46-47), Russell BSU president John Keiser, who asked for EdlefHn (51-511), Richard Eardley (75-preHnt), and E. W.

" 5 Point/,Counterpoint · BSU professors on nuclear war

Dr. James Maguire, associate professor of English, and Dr. James Jensen, associate profes· sor of allied health, discuss man's responsibility regarding the possibility of nuclear war. Their arguments were previously published in recent issues of the Faculty Forum and are reprinted in Focus.

A profile of Camille Power

ALUMNI==�======�

By Eve Brassey Chandler BSU News Services

In 1932 Camille Power almost missed the opportunity to teach on the first BJC faculty. Prior to the school's opening, sh� had �n excellent interview with the first President, Bishop Middleton Barnwell, yet she failed to hear from him. Mter giving up hope she received a letter from a personal friend who also served as the Bishop's secretary. Power was relieved to discover that Bishop Barnwell wanted her to teach, but W.tS too embarrassed to offer her the dismal salary of S 1200 a year. With little hesitation, Power accepted the teaching position. She was the only foreign language student from the University of Illinois to receive a teaching job in 1932. Power was one of a small, but select group of professors who helped the junior college achieve a reputation for offering students a high quality education. During the 31 years Power taught at BJC and Boise College, she was not content to teach the same course year after year. She repeatedly introduced new ideas and teaching methods that encouraged students to learn a second language. Power is well-known for the foreign language plays she produced on campus. Former students tell her today they still recall lines from the plays and have relied on them while traveling in foreign countries. Power remembers even though Bishop Barnwell did not speak French he always attended the plays and sat in the front row. "He believed the closer he sat to the stage the more French he would understand," she said. One summer during WWII, Power was recruited to teach French to soldiersat the University ofIdaho. She enlisted two French war brides living in Boise to help teach. The intensive language program for soldiers prompted her to offer an advanced Spanish class at BJC. The class met four hours each day and Camille Power, center, shows visitors the latest In language equipment during the 1960's. Power, one of the first accomplished two years of work in one.

On the trip was the band, drill team and cheerleaders. We all had a great time in California, but the game was a joke. All the preparations, planning and expense furnished by the Shrine seemed for nothing. When we arrived large spotlights were shinning all around the field trying to disperse the thick fog that was everywhere. When the game started the lights were turned off and moved back for safety reasons. By half time we couldn't see the middle of the field, much less the far side and bleachers. But did Hank Houst, then drill team instructor let the girls off? No way! The drill team marched. Anyway they say they did. Those of us on the side lines saw them go into the fog and come out again. I remember hearing Rod Chester yell during the game, after the second half kick-off, "They're coming your way." That's about it. I think we lost but I don't remember either the team or score.

BJC days recalled

Dear Sir: � I've just finished reading your Statesman• supplement and you did a great job. I'd like to add a bit to "How it was." My brother Wallace & I had graduated from Boise High in 1931 and, like so many others, had gone back there for electives for an additional year, so were really ready when the Junior College was started. Many of our parents went door to door soliciting funds, often only 25�. to get things started. Some of us had summer jobs, the effort to be applied to the money for tuition. I was fortunate to be a friend of Bishop Barnwell and an "eager beaver," so when he was offered a scholarship by Mrs. Fritz Miller, he gave it to me. During the summer, I helped in the BJC office when Mrs. Katherine Cole, the Bishop's secretary and first secretary of �e college, had to be elsewhere- answering the phone, mostly. The gym had been built during the summer and they had to rush to have it ready. Most of the classes were held in an L-shaped building, which contained Three alumni who played In the first game In Bronco gym were on hand for the building's last game on Feb. 27. about four classrooms, the chemistry lab & Next year BSU will play Ita games In the new pavilion.

Boise State's gymnastics team reached its peak just at the right time, winning the regional championships and sweeping three of four individual events titles last weekend, Mardrt'Z-13. The win qualifies them for the national championships March 25-26 in Denver, Colorado. This will mark the fourth straight appearance in nationals for the Bronco gymnasts, who took ninth last year. If the regional results are any indication, the Broncos could move several notches higher in the national standings. At the regional meet the team set a new school scoring record, 137.95 points, to beat rival Seattle Pacific and four other schools. Individual event titles were won by Kelly Parker, bars; Kim DiLorenzo, floor exercise; and Janelle Maynard, vault.
