Sherwood 0. Berg, president of SD State University, addressed the noon Kiwanis Club, Wednesday. Berg spoke of the myths and realities as they affect SDSU in regard to appropriations and services. He stated that SD ranks 38th in the nation in tax money appropriated to higher education. Also, increased appropriations over the past tun years for higher education has only increased 112 percent in SD, while nationally it increased 311 percent; which leaves SD 50th in the nation in increased appropriations.

Our neighboring states, North Dakota and Minnesota rank 32nd and 26th respectively in the nation on increased appropriations over the past ten years. Despite the inequities, Berg stated: "I do believe that the people in South Dakota do have a high regard to higher education." He also stated, in an analysis report by the National Board of Accreditation, that they reported, if anything, the faculty at SDSU have a tendency to under-rate themselves.

This is a photo of the River south of Mitchell Tuesday after the city decided to shut down the river to Lake Mitchell pumping operation because -the pumps were in danger of becoming flooded. The river was Republic Photo by Carol Chalberg expected to crest here today.

The river is now three inches over the concrete pad upon which the 125 horsepower pumps were mounted. Cheryl Ann Crase IT MAY SOUND REDUNDENT but it is a realconcern to me that no one has taken an interest in the city elections. I realize it is a demanding job, often times with few rewards. But it is a vital cog to the operation of our city. The councilman is charged with the most crucial of decisions in the future of our city.

That is a big responsibility, granted, but it is one that we should be willing to accept. To date only three petitions have been filed, (Those are by incumbents Gerald Hatzenbuhler and Leo Stedman and challenger Eltor Issak. No one has filed in Ward HI where incumbent C. H. Cy Young said he will not seek re-election.) Some of us are prohibited from seeking a council seat because of our employment stipulations, but are all of us? I sincerely hope that between now and Tuesday (the last day for filing petitions) more will seek to serve their community as a councilman.

THANKS FOR WORKING There were 20 city employees who gave up their Saturday off to get the James River to Lake Mitchell pumping operation going. About a half dozen of those remained past dark until 9 p.m. monitoring the operation and City Engineer Keith Wysocki and his assistant Doug Dahms worked until 4 a.m. They were back on the job at 8 a.m. and kept working most of Sunday.

About half of the employees, who were department heads or assistants did not receive any wage compensations. The employees who gave their time came from the Park Water, Water Treatment, Street, Inspection, Engineering Departments and City Attorney's office. Thank you employees for putting in those hours. DON'T FORGET the joint Mitchell Senior High and University of South Dakota symphonic concert Tuesday. It should be a very excellent concert.

And remember the annual St. Patrick's Day Fireman's Ball will be Saturday in the Corn Palace. SPEAKING OF ST. PATRICK'S DAY, have a happy one. And just for the record I did remember to wear Shanard disappointed with Kneip veto promise Senator George Shanard (R), Mitchell, today expressed great disappointment at a statement by Governor Kneip that "he Will probably veto more bills than ever before." "It is a far cry," Shanard stated, "from the opening day of the session when the governor said in his state of the state message 'I welcome all of you in a spirit of cooperation, and look forward to the opportunity of working together Senator Shanard went on "the Governor wants to say goodbye to us as the session ends without the charity and compassion of 45 days ago.

I am further disappointed," Shanard continued, "that the Governor could even think about the possibility of "a heavy number of 'vetoes' unless he is 'vetoeing' for 'veto' sake and is playing politics with legislation rather than thinking of the good of the people of South Dakota." Senator Shanard concluded, "I suggest the Governor rethink his political position on vetoeing 'an unusually high number of bills' and instead end the session on the spirit in TO ATTEND NCB Sue Kippes, the daughter of Mr. Mrs. Robert Kippes, has been accepted for the fall term at the National College of Business (NCB), Rapid City, She is a senior at Mitchell High School, Mitchell.

The lake did not rise as rapidly Wednesday as it had been, but the water must also cover more surface.

City Engineer Keith Wysocki said 1.4 billion gallons of water has flowed into the lake. He said it would take another billion to push the water over the spillway. It was a week ago today that the lake was more than ten feet below the spillway. At 4 p.m. last Thursday Firesteel Creek began to flow with a trickle of water coming down.

It has been flowing ever since. Last Thursday, the James River was not flowing. It is now running over the banks. The pads upon which the pumps for the James River to lake Mitchell pumping operation were mounted are now under water. The pumps were removed Tuesday when the water was within eight inches of the motors.

George McGovern's office.) Don Barber or Olaf Jacobsen, manager and consultant respectively of the sub-district, hope to address the panel.

Jacobsen said he will expound on the criteria change which he said should not only be changed for the interest rate but the benefits also. He also noted that the contention that the project should not be continued until all questions are answered is not practical. He said he would also stress the sub-district's proposed modification to bring water to the upper reaches of the sub-district area as an additional benefit bonus for the project. The Lower James also hopes Tom Greenway, a member of the sub-district board can testify on low-yield crop ACCEPTED AT USD MED SCHOOL Jerry A.
