U.S. Senator Mike Mansfield dedicated his opening remarks at the 88th Annual Commencement Excercises to Dennis Casey, a 1965 graduate from Rocky who was killed in Vietnam. "When I think of Rocky Mountain College, I think not so much of your outstanding president and your ex­ cellent faculty, your spacious grounds, your fine recog­ nition, or your student body, but of a young man whom I met years ago on my first visit to this campus," said the Montana senior sen a tor. "His name was Dennis Casey. He came from Lewistown, Mt. He was the leader of ~he Rocky Mountain College marching band which numbered 13 on that occasion. The band escorted me from the gate to the College. I was very proud to be escorted by the nucleus of what later became a bigger, but not a better, Mrs. Ronald Casey, mother of Dennis, and marching band, and was very pleased to make the acquaint­ President L.

While at Rocky, he was twice elected a vice president of the Student National Education Association (SNEA), was president of the Montana SEA, was president of his freshman and sophomore classes, president of the RMC band, president of Young Republicans .... all indicative of his outstanding leadership. Dennis was killed on June 18, 1967 while serving as a Marine in Vietnam.

Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 48, Folder 31, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana Dear Friends ...... Greetings from the campus, where we have just concluded our 94th year. On May 29th, we graduated our largest class to date (113). In retrospect, it has been a long year for Rocky, as for most private colleges and universities in our land. Much time and effort have been invested in seeking to stabilize and strengthen the college for the years ahead. As a result, in some very significant ways, 1971-72 has proven to be a year of real decision. In the area of fiscal planning and management, decisions have been made to adjust programs at the college to achieve a reduction in expenditures of more than $100,000 for next year. In the main, this is being accomplished without sacrifice of quality in educational offerings. To strengthen financial resources,·the Board of Trustees in November, authorized the "Community's Challenge in '72,"the first full-scale fund drive in the Billings area by the college. A third major decision of the Board, long in the making, authorized a comprehensive land development plan and program which is described elsewhere in The Monitor. This development can have tremendous potential for the college in the years ahead, both in terms of support and opportunities for service. Other decisions have been coming through the work of the President's Commission, mentioned elsewhere. So, we can look upon a year of s ignificant accomplishment as we prepare for 1972-73. With your continued support, it can be the best year yet! On behalf of the Rocky family, best wishes for a pleasant summer.

A Non-Profit A Rocky Mountain College Orga.nizatiQl\ ROCKY ANTHROPOLOGIST TO PUBLISH BULLETIN BULK RATE U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 591 FOR SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION THE MONITOR Billings, Mont. VOLUME VIII NO . 2 Dr. C. Adrian Heidenreich, assistant professor of EDITORIAL BOARD anthropology and former director of Rocky's Center for Farrell Stewart Paul Hickman Indian Studies, has received a request from the Smith­ Edna Nutter Verba Valentine sonian Institution to co-author an article on the Crow ISIS POLY DRIVE Indians. BILLINGS. MONTANA S9102 The article, not to exceed 30 pages, will be a dis­ cussion of Crow history (dating back to the earliest archaeological records up to the present time) including cu~tural, social, economic and religious aspects. A gu1de to other Crow references and literature will also be printed. The Smithsonian Institution published two volumes on North American Indians about 1907-10, and these two volumes have been the major source of reference since that time, said Dr. Heidenreich. The Smithsonian has decided to update and revise the material and will have 16-18 volumes with a chapter on every Indian tribe of North America. The RMC anthropologist and Stuart Conner, a Billings attorney, have been commissioned to write about the Crow. "With publication scheduled in 1976, it will be a fitting memorial to the centennial of the Custer Battle," said Dr. Heidenreich, who earned his Ph.D. last year in anthropology at the University of Oregon. The title of his dissertation was "Ethno-Documentary of the Crow Indians, 1824-1868," and was the Crow history with em­ phasis on images of the Crow illustrated by artists and writers of that time.
