"To see the growth of students and to follow their accomplishments has always But BoiseState art instructor AI Kober knows both ... there was a time in his life been a satisfying thrill for me," says the soft-spoken Kober. He remains modest when he stacked up middle linebackers with as much skill as he uses now to handle about his own accomplishments, but Kober speaks with evident pride when he talks the sculptor's tools.It was the lure of football fame, not art, that got Kober into about BSU's sculpture department, a department which started when he came here college in the first place.He entered Dodge City Community College in Kansas on an in 1968.He has been BSU's only sculpture teacher. athletic grant. "Students here have a great deal of pride in their work," he says as he names When it came time to go to a four-year school, Kober was a junior college several of his former pupils who have received graduate teaching assistantships to all-American and had amassed 14 scholarship offers to such powers as Oklahoma, other universities. Nebraska and Georgia Tech. After college, offers came in from pro football Although his day is filled to the brim with classes, Kober does manage to work on recruiters. his own creations. Many of his works are in Boise homes and public buildings. Some But somewhere along the line Kober had discovered art, so he passed up the pieces are now displayed in Fritch mans Gallery in Boise. He has so much sculpture at tinsel-town world of pro football to stick with his new obsession. The decision was fortunate for Boise State. Beside his teaching, Kober had dedicated two sculptures to the school.One is the bronco in front of the Business Building and the other sits Sculpture by AI Kober near the library. Kober could be called a late bloomer in the art world. He didn't really get started until he was in college.

other exhibits that he has difficulty keeping track of it all.In the last year he has sent pieces to Montana, Ohio, Georgia and Texas.One piece of jewelry has spent years in a traveling show. The BSU artist is a man who "runs and lives on creative ideas." Pointing to an office full of sketches, ..plastt:r molds and old sculpture, Kober expresses the importance of creativity. "In between ideas I'm at odds with the world. When I have a good idea the whole world is rosy." While he has been well paid for some of his sculpture, Kober admits that the main reason he sells work is to buy more materials for his next creation. He says his constant work is vital to his teaching. "A good teacher has to stimulate students to get the utmost quality from them. Teachers must show by example that they are interested in creating art ...it is very important that they are practicing artists as well as teachers." Kober follows his own advice. He is currently working on fiv� pieces. As for his students, Kober judges their work on technique and philosophy. "There are really two phases ... it must be well-designed, but it must also hold the viewer's attention and communicate insight into what the artist is saying. Again, Kober must have followed his own advice when he created "Fledgling Flight," the oft seen but seldom understood sculpture near the BSU Library. Kober's philosophy behind the piece is shared by many people at Boise State.

Mrs. Thorngren rates the Broncos com­ petitiveness on a seale from "one to ten", at approximately "eight or nine" with other institutions. Funding rates about "five" and facilities at "two" on an "ideal program" scale.The women's new gym is in the building projection at the Univer­ sity within the next five years. She believes that the women's program will build more quickly than the men's program, which has been in existence since 1933. But, she added that the emphasis should remain on the student instead of the spectator.

Dr. Gene Cooper, BSU director of Physical Education, attributes the growth of the women's program to the enthusia-sm shown by the students. "Title Nine (HEW's Equal Opportunity Act) has made people aware of the prob­ lems here and because of this knowledge people have worked to alleviate them," stated Cooper. The women's program contains six sports. They are field hockey and volleyball in the fall; basketball and gym­ nastics in the winter; with softball and track and field in the spring.-
