A
ccording to the major sponsor of Mea-
sure 3, North Dakota higher education
is beyond the ability of a group of vol-
unteers. Proposed by the Legislature, Measure
3 would replace the 8-member Board of Higher
Education with three full-time commissioners.
Talking about volunteers brings up the same
argument about legislators. Legislators have
described themselves as citizen legislators as
though that made them better able to make
policy decisions than the full-time legislators
found in other states.
In recent years, the responsibilities of state government have
grown tremendously and we are seeing some evidence of ama-
teurism in major legislative policy decisions. To maintain the
volunteer status of legislators, we have had to develop all sorts of
triggers, interim committees and gimmicks to keep the system
running.
It is doubtful that legislators who are proposing to turn higher
education over to a full-time commission would agree that
the state could beneft from better management with full-time
legislators.
Te Legislature has almost 150 members so that it can foster
deliberation and responsiveness. Because the Board of Higher
Education is also a major policymaking body, it must also be a
system that provides for deliberation and responsiveness.
An 8-member board can be more deliberate and more respon-
sive than a 3-member commission that would result in more
top-down management with less deliberation and responsive-
ness. When it comes to deliberation, eight heads are better than
three; when it comes to responsiveness, eight contact points are
better than three.
Te Board of Higher Education must be responsive to a wide
range of constituencies. Tese include legislators, parents,
students, alumni, university administrators, faculty, chambers
of commerce and taxpayers. All of them have a major stake in
higher education and they deserve to be heard in the policy
process.
Measure 3 proposes one commissioner to represent business
and one to represent higher education, and a third at-large. Tats
pretty narrow representation for the wide range of constituencies
involved in higher education.
Because the objectives of these constituencies are not always
in harmony, the board is required to spend considerable time
negotiating policy diferences. A 3-member full-time manage-
ment commission would provide less negotiating and more
mandating.
We have had some recent experience with top-down manage-
ment. Former Chancellor Hamid Shirvani was invited to North
Dakota to take charge of higher education. He was a top-down
manager and his emphasis on management made many people
unhappy, including legislators.
Te fact is that North Dakota doesnt tolerate autocratic man-
agement. Tis is clearly indicated by the structure of our state
and local governments. It is a system that values participation
over management so everybody can have a say.
If Measure 3 is approved, the commission will be going down
the road with Shirvani. An initiated measure will soon appear
to put an end to this top-down management because it is alien to
North Dakota expectations and practice.
Admittedly, the Board has made mistakes. More ofen than
not, it has been blindsided by of-screen institutional transgres-
sions. Te same thing happens in the Legislature and bills must
be introduced in every session
to correct the errors of previous
sessions.
More specifcally, the Legislative
Council made a multi-million dollar
mistake with a technology contract
a couple of years ago. It just buried
the mistake and went forward and no
legislator suggested that we appoint
a full-time management team to
replace the Council.
In the case of Measure 3, explain-
able mistakes are being used as a pre-
text for the Legislature to make a grab for control of higher education.
Participatory governance is a bedrock North Dakota value. Because
Measure 3 undermines deliberation and participation, it should be
defeated.

I
heard it again yesterday: Teres
nothing to do around here! Really?
Nothing?
Every day, in every one of our neighbor-
hoods, I run into people spending their
time planning, organizing and making
great things happen around here. Tey do
it for their friends and family. And they do
it for you. To improve the quality of life in
our neck of the woods.
Clubs. Groups. Events. For people of all
ages and interests.
Tis week we have a couple fundraisers,
a 5K Walk/Run, fall food events, a target
shoot, bluegrass....
But a quick glance at this calendar is
only the tip of the iceberg. While we try
each week to gather as much of the great
stuf thats happening all around the
region, we still dont get it all (hint, hint
-- see the LIST YOUR EVENT box on this
page).
Teres likely more happening on most
given days than any one of us has time to
take in. But I challenge you to take a good
look at this calendar and fnd something
new to try or do.
Go to a city meeting. Find out more
about the challenges your community
faces and, perhaps, get involved in fnding
solutions. Make a quilt. And make some
new friends. Read a book. Pop by one of
the areas wonderful museums. Play cards
or dice. Visit a new church and enjoy a
great meal.
Get out there. Join your neighbors. Say
yes. And then spread the word: Teres lots
to do around here. -- NLZ
Just do it: Be a joiner

Revisiting rental
properties
By LLOYD NELSON
VALLEY CITY
Tat was quite an article
in the Times-Record recently
concerning rental proper-
ties and their upkeep.
Te article did not say
who contacted the Times-
Record to do the article,
or if they had permission
of the owner to be on the
property. Since there has
been nothing said to the
contrary, I must assume it
was done with the owners
approval.
If the renters are dissatis-
fed with the conditions,
have you spoken with the
owner to make improve-
ments? If you have, and
have not received a positive
reply, then might I suggest
you move?
Because Steve and Mary
Lee Nielson were men-
tioned much in the article,
I must refer comments to
them.
Several pictures of the
Nielson building were in the paper.
Te laundry area looks very neat and
orderly. Te street view of Nielsons apart-
ment building is also impressive. And
its appropriate that the hall carpets are
vacuumed every week. However, when-
ever anyone is expecting company, (local
newspaper especially), the areas that will
be observed (shown), are the frst to be
put in order and cleaned. Carpets in
homes are also vacuumed at least once a
week, if not more. If I had people walk-
ing through my house, the equivalent
of those living in Nielsons apartment, I
would vacuum the carpets every day! Te
picture of the front of Nielsons apartment
building looks good, but apparently the
Times-Record did not take any pictures of
the back side of the apartment building.
How would you like to live next to this?
(See photo above)
Te other picture is me holding our
weekly garbage for which we pay $14 per
month.
Accordingly, there should only be 12
bags of garbage in that dumpster!
How much do the people in Nielsons

FAITHFULLY
In times of trouble, think upon Christ
By the Rev.
Dennis NORBY
Is your church missing from the
Independent church directory?
Have the leader of your church
submit the information to
submissions@indy-bc.com
and well add it to our listings.
T
he Apostle Paul wrote
the book of Philip-
pians while being im-
prisoned under Roman rule.
Te book then is called one
of Pauls prison letters, which
makes it all the more unique
when we recognize the theme
of the book is joy.
We fnd Paul saying that
he can rejoice no matter what the circum-
stances because of what Jesus Christ has
done (Philippians 4:13).
I have been to jail a number of times.
Not as an inmate, but to preach at services
held there or to visit those who were jailed
for one reason or another. We ofen talked
about the processes they were undergoing.
Tey had meetings with lawyers, hearings
and court dates, and schedules for all kinds
of things. As time went on there were ofen
specifc and clear dates for when people
would be released and probation periods.
When the Apostle Paul was imprisoned,
there were no clear dates spelled out for
him. As we read in the prison letters, he
wasnt always sure what the outcome might
be and he was hard pressed to say what he
wanted to happen.
He says in Philippians 2:21-23, For to
me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If
I am to live in the fesh, that means fruit-
ful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose
I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between
the two. My desire is to depart and be with
Christ, for that is far better.
He knew that his life had been used in

ranked either frst or second in its category
and has been North Dakotas highest-rated
Public Regional College. For 17 consecu-
tive years VCSU has been recognized by

Te U.S News ranking is an afrmation
of the quality education experience ofered

berg, VCSU interim presi-
dent. Tis recognition is a
refection of the good work
that our faculty and staf
and our studentsdo every
day in creating a successful
teaching and learning envi-
ronment.

ings, accredited U.S. colleg-
es and universities are grouped according
to their mission and, for some categories,
by location. Ten the institutions are com-
pared based on data related to academic
excellence from up to 16 areas.
VCSU fared well on the criteria, par-
ticularly in the categories of average class
size, peer assessment, student-faculty ratio,
alumni giving, and graduation rate exceed-
ing prediction.

category includes 95 colleges and universi-
ties, with 13 public institutions, across 12
states.

ARTIE
Artie and Baby are mother and son and a
bonded pair. They love to hang out with
anyone who will pay attention to them. When
they came to SVFA, they were being fostered
separately and a little anxious being apart,
but now that theyre back together, they are
happy little dogs. Because theyre a bonded
pair, were offering a discounted adoption fee
so they can spend the rest of their lives
together in their forever home. Both Baby, 8,
and Artie, 7, are house trained.

IF WE HAVE NO PEACE, IT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT WE BELONG TO EACH OTHER. MOTHER TERESA
FAITHFULLY: From 8
service to Christ and that
if he continued to live that
Christ would use him for the
days given to him.
As Paul recognizes what
God has been doing through
him he sees the fruitful labor
of believers, like the Philip-
pians. But Paul has also in
his mind eternity. For Paul
personally to die is gain.
Tat means that when Paul
passes from this world he
will be able to be in the pres-
ence of Jesus Christ and rest
from all his labors. Te gain
Paul speaks of is the rest of
heaven. Tese are the words
of a man who is in a danger-
ous and precarious position.
Believers in Christ around
the world are in dangerous
and precarious positions as
you read this. Pauls confes-
sion can be echoed from
their lips because the God
who strengthened and pre-
served Paul is there to give
them peace and comfort to-
day. May God grant to them
hearts full of joy even though
they may be in prison or ref-
ugees because of their faith
in Jesus Christ. May their
eyes be fxed on Jesus and
eternity rather than the hor-
ror and troubles of the cir-
cumstances they are in.
You and I sitting in this
corner of the world are not
in very dangerous or precar-
ious positions in compari-
son to those Christians in
Iraq for example. However,
no matter how great life is in
this world we can still rec-
ognize that to die is gain. I
say this not in a morbid or
nihilistic way. What I mean
is this: to die as a believer
takes us from this world of
sorrow and sin to the pres-
ence of Christ forever. May
God increase in us a yearn-
ing for heaven; to be with
Christ. As the Apostle John
wrote near the end of Rev-
elation, Come, Lord Jesus.
