The editor of the University of South Dakota student news paper took on the governor — and seems to be winning. Volante Editor Brad Johnson covered an open forum held by Gov. William Janklow following an appearance before a USD communications class. Johnson's story included a comment by Janklow that he was ‘disgusted" by the failure of the state Board of Regents to cut the higher education budget and other remarks critical of the higher education system. When confronted by wire service repor ters, Janklow denied the remarks, calling Johnson’s story “hog- wash” and his paper “theater of the absurd.” Janklow didn’t know, however, that Johnson held the trump card — a tape recording of his comments. Johnson has played the tape for wire service reporters, the USD president and the other curious peo ple and says "they all hear the same things I heard.” Copies of the tape were sent to Janklow, at his request, and to the state com missioner of higher education, who wants to play the tape for the state Board of Regent’s, says Johnson. — Collegiate Medlines Police say students ’ party quiet ... Hosting a party doesn’t necessarily make one responsible for the noise it may cause, a South Dakota court ruled recently. Five South Dakota University students were acquitted of charges they disturbed the peace because the prosecution couldn’t prove they directly caused any noise. The case arose after a neighbor complained that he was disturbed by the sounds of car doors and horns and by loud talking during a party hosted by the five stu dents in their house near the SDSU campus. The complainant had four other neighbors corroborate his testimony, including one who said he heard loud music coming from the defendants’ house. Police who were called to the scene said, however, that the house was “unusually quiet” for a party site. All five were acquitted. — Collegiate Medlines rocus THE BATTALION Policy: Focus will accept any stories, drawings or photographs that are submitted for publication, although the decision to publish lies solely with the editor.
