merce Tech Boosters and the local board and acting president were the groups who interviewed the three men, Dr. Fred W. DeMoney, Dr. Jack B. Goebel, and Dr. Denton Wieland, between the hours of 1 and 5 Saturday afternoon. Dr. DeMoney was the first candidate to come to the student g r 0 up. Approximately ninety students were there to question him. DeMoney, 52, talked cordially, but with reserve, with the students. He said that he believed a school such as Tech can develop degrees in other fields without hampering the, present engineering degrees. In answering a question regarding varsity athletics, DeMoney stated that a school has to have a sport in which it can excell. Students, according to DeMoney, should have a voice in the campus administration. He said he would want to set up a feedback relationship on campus. Salary, according to DeMon., ey would be slightly less than he is now receiving, but that would be only a small matter. Dr. Goebel, 39, was the' next candidate to speak to the students. He stated that Engineering degrees would be supplemented with the development of new degrees. Varsity athletics, he stated, has given Tech a rallying point.

By defending his dissertation earlier this month, John F. McGuire, assistant professor of of humanities and social sciences at Montana Tech, has completed requirements for a doctor's degree from the University of Utah. The official presentation of his Ph. D. will be made during commencement exercises in June. McGuire's thesis dealt with Thomas Hardy's use of fertility archetypes. Hardy is a prominent Victorian novelist. McGuire, who teaches composition, introduction to literature, British literature and con tinen tal fiction at Tech, received his bachelor's degree magna cum laude in English from Carroll College. He received his master's, also in English, from the University of the Pacific in California. McGuire has taught at Mon ... tana Tech since 1970.
It has given the community a better image, as well. A winning football team, however, does not always guarantee a boost in enrollment, he added. Among his plans for Montana Tech, are that he would like to develop degrees in biology, and business--programs that would not compete with Western. r». Wieland, 45, was the third and final candida te to appear before the students, When asked if the development of degrees other,than engineering would impair those degrees, he said that you have to develop otheJr degrees. Regarding the salary offerred here, he said that it would be a sacrifice. Varsity athletics, Wieland

feels, has a place as a matter of moral publicity. "You have to have it." However, he. believes that one or two fields should be developed which can be afforded. He said that you have to have a winner. After the candidates left, the students remained to decide who would represent the students at the meeting of the Board of Regents and also who would be the candidate that the students as a whole would support. The delegates to the meeting were Joe Holland, Stubs Wiley, and Steve Czehura. The ballots revealed that the students favored Wieland with 58 first place votes, Goebel wih 30 and DeMoney with only 1.

The Student Council, during its past two meetings has anpronnateo to various groups a total of $1,096.23. ' By far, the largest single appropriation went to the athletic department, which has been operating in the red. As of March 9th football was found to have a deficit of $1,057.62.Basketball was also found to be $550.66 in the hole. This makes the total figure $1,608.28 beyond their appropriations and other sources of income. A motion was made and carried to pay $608.28 to cover deficits in football and basketball (proportioned two to football and one to basketball), leaving a balance of $1,000 plus any other outstanding bills to be held over as a bill against next year's football and basketball budgets. Also appropriated at this same meeting was $67.95 to AWS to pay for outstanding bills from last year' and to help finance Women's Day this year. Seventy-five dollars was allocated to reimburse Joe Holland, Bob Wiley, and Joe Rohan for expenses incurred while attending a meeting of student leaders in Great Falls, recently. An additional $95.00 was appropriated to cover the price of a rebuilt electric typewriter for the student government. . Last year, three hundred dollars was appropriated for equipping the student offices in the SUB. Of this amount only $170.00 was spent. At the February 28th meeting, the council approved a request that the remainder of $130.00 be used to buy a typewriter. , The final portion of the $1,096.23 sum was appropriated as a loan to Circle-K and Spurettes, [otntly, in order to sponsor Project Ooncern's Walk for Mankind. The loan will be paid back immediately after the walk takes place on April 22. The Walk for Mankind provides money for medical assistance programs throughout America and the world. The Mountaineer Club was found, at the meeting February 28th, to be operating with an amount of $98.47 in the red. The situation was remedied, however, by the March 8th meeting. At both meetings, the visit of the three presidential candidates was announced. The me,eting was scheduled for March 11. The three candidates are: Fred W. DeMoney, 53; Jack B. Goebel, 39; and Denton R. Wieland, 45. Last week, DeMoney was selected.
