Theisz publishes chapter in
the book Powwow - top

| Theisz |
A chapter by Dr. R.D. Theisz, professor of English and
American Indian Studies and chair of the Department of Humanities at
Black Hills State University, was recently included in the book
Powwow, published by the University of Nebraska press.
In the chapter, “Putting Things in Order. The
Discourse of Tradition,” Theisz uses recent postmodern theory such as
Lyotard’s and Said’s notions of metanarratives and micronarratives to
argue for the voice of tradition “not so much as epigonic nostalgia but
rather as providing a significant strain of the Lakota metanarrative
celebrating the centripetal connective affirmation of tradition,
particularly as expressed in the powwow.”
Theisz received his doctorate in literature from New
York University in 1972. He has been teaching at BHSU since 1977.

BHSU student and faculty conduct research on
flying squirrels and fungi
- top
A Black Hills State
University faculty member and student, in collaboration with the staff
members of the U.S. Forest Service, are conducting groundbreaking
research on the diets of flying squirrels in the Black Hills.
 Callie
Ackerman, a senior biology/environmental science major from Hulett,
Wyo., spent a major part of the summer working on the research. Dr.
Audrey Gabel, emeritus professor of biology at BHSU, and Elizabeth
Krueger, U.S. Forest Service, Spearfish ranger district, are
co-principal investigators for the project. Dr. Mark Gabel, emeritus
professor of biology at BHSU, and Scott Weins, from the U.S. Forest
Service are also participating in the research.
The research is being
funded by the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
According to A. Gabel, it
has been reported from research in the Pacific Northwest that flying
squirrels include hypogeous (underground) fungi in their diet. These
fungi, which are sometimes called truffles and false truffles, are much
smaller than the species which are highly valued for eating.
The BHSU research is the
first documentation of the presence of hypogeous fungi in scat
(excrement) from flying squirrels captured in the Black Hills. The
research also documents the presence of hypogeous fungi in the Black
Hills of South Dakota.
Gabel, a fungi expert in
the region, knew that the flying squirrels were attracted to fungi that
live underground and wanted to find out if the squirrels included the
underground fungi in their diet. Scat from squirrels which were trapped
in the northern Black Hills was collected and evaluated by light and
scanning electron microscopy to determine diet.
According to the
researchers, more than 90 percent of the scat was comprised of hypogeous
fungi, and the intact spores of these fungi permitted identification of
the fungi eaten by the squirrels. Seven different genera were identified
from 25 collections of scat.
The study also included
digging and recovering fruiting bodies (sporocarps) of the fungi. Five
different genera were identified from 17 collections. Physical
characteristics of the sites and inventoried vegetation were mapped
using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software.
Ackerman, who is also
active on the track team at BHSU, says the research opportunity taught
her many things. She says one of the most important things she learned
while working on this project is how the research process really works.
Ackerman, who has always
enjoyed being outdoors and is planning a career in science that will
allow her to do outdoor science research, says she liked going in the
Hills to dig for fungi, using the GIS to map locations and working with
the Forest Service personnel to trap the squirrels.
“I’ve always been
interested in working in the outdoors and like to work with mammals so
this research project was perfect for me,” Ackerman said.
Now that the data
gathering part of the research is finished, Ackerman is working with
Gabel to write a paper and create a presentation about their research.
At the encouragement of
her professors, Ackerman is making plans to attend graduate school after
she graduates from BHSU in May.
“I’m from a ranch, and I
always liked learning about plants and animals. I’ve just kept building
on that interest while in college,” Ackerman says. She’s considering a
career in research.

BHSU hosts a presentation about
Black Hills Vision
- top
More than 60 university
and community members attended a presentation about Black Hills Vision
which was hosted by Black Hills State University this week.
The mission of the Black
Hills Vision is to invest in the development of new job creation and an
opportunity environment to expand economic development to the Black
Hills region. The Black Hills Vision board consists of 114 investors
including several Black Hills communities, the governor and area
businesses.
Dr. Priscilla Romkema,
associate professor and chair of the department of management and
marketing at BHSU, welcomed the attendees. Speakers included, Bryan
Walker, director of Spearfish Economic Development; Mike Derby, Black
Hills Vision president; Mark Merchen, Black Hills Vision, executive
director; Jerry Krambeck,
Spearfish mayor; and Dave Snyder, Science and Technology Authority
executive director. The speakers summarized the history of the Black
Hills Vision group and highlighted its goals which include long-term
ventures to improve the economic development of the entire Black Hills
region. Currently the main projects undertaken by the group include
business incubation on the School of Mines and Technology campus,
development of the Air Service Task Force, supporting Ellsworth Air
Force Base, housing development and finding ways to maximize
opportunities with the development of a science lab at Homestake.
“What’s good for one will
be good for all,” Mark Merchant stressed, “We are working together to
create opportunities for the entire region. The bottom line is that is
to create careers for those with Dakota roots who want to stay or would
like to come back this area.”
Snyder presented an update
concerning recent developments for the science lab at Homestake. He
called the opportunities unlimited.
“I don’t think any of us
can fully anticipate the benefit of this lab. The energy surrounding it
and what it will achieve for the state is phenomenal,” Snyder said.
In addition to the
possibility of massive multi-disciplinary experiments, Snyder noted that
BHSU is making plans to maximize educational venues including
classrooms, labs, science camps and educational workshops at the lab.
Ben Sayler, director of the Center for the Advancement of Math and
Science Education (CAMSE) at BHSU, is directly involved in developing
educational opportunities.
“The opportunities are
endless,” Snyder said.

Concert Band
and Chamber Players will present fall concert -
top
The
Black Hills State University concert band and chamber players will
present their fall concert Monday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the recital
hall of Clare and Josef Meier Hall.
The
percussion ensemble, trumpet quartet and clarinet quartet will start the
concert followed by the band performance.
The band
will be playing music from Europe and the U.S., including the premiere
performance of Brahms Soup, written by Christopher Hahn, the
group’s director. Hahn wrote the piece with the assistance of a BHSU
Faculty Research Grant.
According to Hahn, “Brahms Soup is a chaconne: a set of
variations on a harmonic progression. This progression was written by
Brahms for a chaconne in his Fourth Symphony. I use rhythmic and melodic
characteristics of Brahms’ music as well as older and newer ideas. It is
also like a quodlibet in that I use a few other melodies for humorous
effect.”
The
concert will also include music inspired by the Chinese immigrants that
helped Union Pacific build the transcontinental railroad through the
Sierra Nevada mountains, a lighthearted look at Oktoberfest, and music
that deals with the transformation and rebirth in our life cycle.
The
concert is open to the public at no charge. For more information contact
Hahn at 642-6888.
BHSU graduate hired to recruit
students in eastern South Dakota -

Kelly
Meeker, a 2004 graduate of Black Hills State University, who is
originally from the Sioux Falls area and attended O’Gorman High School,
has been hired by BHSU to recruit students in the eastern region of the
state.
Meeker,
who earned a human resources degree and now works as a marketing
representative for Dakota Beverage in Sioux Falls will be contacting
prospective students via phone, emails and mail. In addition, he will be
available to meet with students to answer their questions regarding
BHSU.
“Black
Hills State University has a lot to offer students. I know from my
experience that BHSU students receive individual one-on-one attention
from instructors. I never felt like just a number at BHSU. I know that
each professor cared about my education and encouraged me to succeed,”
Meeker says.
He added
that BHSU is a natural choice due to the scenic area, friendly
atmosphere and recreational opportunities.
“I
believe BHSU’s location in the Northern Black Hills gives the university
a huge advantage. I enjoyed my surroundings at BHSU, and that, combined
with the fact that I knew a majority of the students and felt
comfortable visiting teachers and asking for their assistance, created
an excellent educational experience for me,” Meeker says.
Meeker
also believes his education prepared him for the job market.
“In my
field today it is very important to have good communication skills, and
I feel my classes at BHSU provided exceptional preparation because the
small class sizes encouraged many class presentations and group
projects,” Meeker says.

Chair submitted application for graduate faculty
status for Ryerson. A motion was made and seconded to approve her. The
motion passed.
Graduate Council
Chair welcomed Ryerson to the Graduate Council for
2005-06.
Reports
- Molseed reported that the Master of Science in
Curriculum and Instruction (MSCI) was still adding cohorts.
- Dana reported that the College of Business was
reviewing the exit exam and considering using the Major Field Test
(MFT) business graduate exam as the exit exam. At this point, there
are too few students taking the exit exam for MFT to do a question
analysis of the results. The college was also reviewing ways to
advertise the degree.
- Siemens reported that he and Downing were working
with the Board of Regents office on the Master of Science in
Integrative Genomics. The hope was to have it in place for the fall
semester.
Annual Report

Faculty
Senate minutes - top
The Faculty Senate met Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 3:30
p.m.
Members present were President Roger Miller, Steve
Andersen, Sharon Strand, Dan Bergey, Curtis Card, Tim Martinez,
Christine Shearer-Cremean, Verona Beguin, Jim Hesson, Micheline
Hickenbotham, Roberta Sago, and Peter Lemke (Student Senate
representative). Also present were guests George Earley, Dean Myers,
Laura Colmenero-Chilberg, and Kathleen Parrow.
Miller called the meeting to order.
Myers and Earley answered questions the senate had on
various campus concerns. Miller asked if the Faculty Senate would have a
role in the process of developing and approving the new Standards
Document. Myers answered that the deans and department chairs are
responding now to the draft document. It will be disseminated to all
faculty, along with the documents developed at SDSU. The SDSU documents
are to be used as a model and to be sure our document meets the depth,
breadth and rigor we want in our document. Shearer-Cremean asked if
given the inequities in pay and duties in the state system, should we
try to use the same standards as SDSU in an effort to raise the status
and salaries or will that have any effect. Myers did not think that that
would be likely to happen but did suggest that our document should
reflect our local situation. Strand asked if part of the role of the
senate will be to review the final document. Myers said that that
decision has not been made yet but he will discuss this with the other
academic vice presidents to see how this was handled at the other state
schools. Martinez asked what role the faculty should be playing in this
process. Myers said that he thought the chairs were working with the
faculty to develop their responses to the draft document. He was
surprised to hear that there has been no input from the business faculty
or most departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. The College of
Education has had several meetings to discuss the document. He indicated
that this would be a topic of discussion at the next Council of Deans
meeting. The document should be ready by early October and will be sent
then to all faculty for comment. Martinez asked who has been working on
the draft document. Myers reported that the original work had been done
by himself and Kristi Pearce. Hesson noted that this will be a living
document, with ample chance to make changes as needed in the future.
Myers said that the final document will not be forwarded to the Board of
Regents (BOR) until all faculty have had a chance to see it and provide
input. The plan is for it to be implemented by fall 2006. Once it is
finished, it will go into effect immediately and may not be radically
different from what we have been using. We will not be held accountable
for two different forms of the document for our evaluations.
Myers asked for senate input on the new Student
Opinion Survey (SOS). He stated that Perry has charged the AEC committee
to find another standardized document to use statewide so we may not be
using our old SOS document for any long period of time. He reported that
some of the other schools are still using the SIRS II document. There
are only two other companies who have a comparable instrument available.
The group discussed the issue, both staying with the SIRS II and using
the old SOS have comparable costs. Andersen noted that if we want to use
this document to know where to improve, we should be compared to the
national benchmarks and norms that SIRS allows. Bergey asked if it makes
sense to change if the students are used to one form. Lemke stated that
the students just fill out the form and are not concerned about what the
document looks like. Andersen mentioned that he got more student
comments with the old SOS that he found very helpful. Martinez asked why
we are dropping the SIRS. Earley said that once the pilot study was done
which the BOR paid for, they found that we couldn’t get the correct data
they wanted with the electronic version of SIRS and that the cost for
the survey instrument has been sent back to the various institutions.
Senators were asked to poll their colleagues and send their responses to
Miller who will take the information to the Council of Deans meeting
next Tuesday.
Hesson moved and Beguin seconded that the agenda be
approved. The motion passed.
Card moved and Hickenbotham seconded that the minutes
be approved as amended. The motion passed.
Andersen reported that the Appointments Committee has
been convened, and people are now volunteering for positions on the
various committees.
Documents found on the web from four universities
which are used to evaluate administrators were handed out. The
universities are Texas Tech, Georgia College, the University of North
Texas, and the University of Minnesota. Senators are to read through the
documents to get a general impression of what kinds of characteristics
are measured in each so that they can be more fully discussed at the
next meeting. Hickenbotham asked if Myers is in favor of evaluating
administrators. Shearer-Cremean said that he seems to be in favor but
the problems have come from the BOR. Martinez commented that it was his
impression that the BOR thought it was their job and not a faculty job
to do this, even though they have never seen these documents. Hesson
suggested that it could be called a Faculty Opinion Survey and that it
could go only to the administrator being evaluated to be used to improve
their job but that it could in no way be used against them or impact
salary.
Bergey reported on the bookstore pricing and buy back
policy. He is concerned that the bookstore is suffering because students
are buying books online rather than paying the cost of the book plus 25
percent. He reported that the bookstore profits go to support the
Student Union, to provide assistance to activities, and to support
departmental discounts. All money spent in the bookstore stays at BHSU.
He has been unable to find out who sets the mark up policy, whether it
is a local policy or a statewide policy. Bergey will investigate this
further. Strand noted that this is part of a larger national concern
about the high cost of college books. Andersen and Beguin will check to
see what the industry norms are for pricing textbooks.
Miller reported that the faculty chosen for the
Presidential Search and Screen Committee were Betsy Silva and Mary
Rogers. The committee will start meeting this Friday.
Miller handed out copies of the constitution and
bylaws which are to possibly be revised. Card will send an electronic
copy to the university webmaster to be posted to the website so all
faculty can read it.
Miller had found that the yearly allotment for the
Faculty Senate is $300 to be added to the $705 left in the account to be
used this year.
Lemke reported that the Student Senate has finished
the budget for the next two semesters. Most organizations are happy.
Many new clubs received money. The Lakota Ominicye members and their
advisors appealed the amount allotted. The Budget Committee will review
their appeal and give their answer next week.
A course modification from the College of Education
was reviewed and accepted.
Shearer-Cremean announced that Susie Dana is the new
chair of the University Curriculum Committee.
Myron Sullivan has been asked to attend a meeting to
discuss the need for another security person on campus. Sago will try to
find a copy of the letter sent last year by the senate expressing our
security concerns.
The question of having a senate meeting on Wednesday,
Nov. 23, just before Thanksgiving, was discussed. It was decided that
the senate will not meet then, but any major issues can be done through
email or an emergency meeting.
Beguin guidelines and permission for taping a class
that is being delivered through Vtel class. We will discuss this further
at the next meeting.
Beguin reported that in the College of Business and
Technology (CBT) workstudy students cannot help with any materials that
have to do with grades, tests, etc., which has increased the faculty
workload. She asked if other departments are also affected in this way.
The issue was referred back to the CBT since it seems to be an issue
only for them.
Andersen moved and Beguin seconded that the meeting be
adjourned. The motion was approved and the meeting adjourned at 5 p.m.
The next Faculty Senate meeting will be Wednesday,
Oct. 5.
These minutes were respectfully submitted by Sharon E.
Strand.
