Student editor takes on governor
... 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
