"Bigger Than the Myth"
by Unanimous Declaration
SeIdom in the course of human events, does a student encounter an in-structor
unwilling to wear the traditional garb of a dictator; unwilling
to be the arbiter of truth, or the guardian of secrets. Such a professoris
Dr. Warren Henke.
To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has provided serious and mentally liberating questions about our
society rather than issuebiased answers. ("What is your stand on the
amnest~ issue?This study is not designed to trap the student, but to train
him, or her, in dealing with complexity.")
He hastaught that the objective truth is constantly beyond our grasp.
(Do you know "What Really Happened on Lexington Green"?)
Forhe has kept abreast of the scholarly world, enduring the intellectual
torment needed to comprehend new ideas, instead of resorting to well-beaten
and misleading paths.
Nor has he been wanting in attentions to the needs of Bismarck, if it is
to prosper.(Realizing that most Americansaredeficient intheir knowl-edge
of History, he has sought to broaden the historical imagination of
his pupils, by continually offering courses relevant to their interest.>
We, therefore, the studentsof Dr. Henke, in general congress,assembled,
pay indelible tribute to his sacred teachings.

"BJC'S HOSTESSWITH THE MOSTEST"

gracious hostess,Alice Hansen added to these occasions.Her

No full textEssay about Harold Schafer, Bismarck businessman and donor to BJCA BJC BENEFACTOR
HAROLD SCHAFER
One man that has been
instrumental in the past, present,
and future of BJC is Harold
Schafer, President and Chairman
of the Board of the Gold Seal
Company, the company which
he founded in 1942. Mr. Schafer is
a firm believer in Junior
Colleges. He says that they are the
right idea, have been very
successful, and will continue to be
and to grow.
school year, he attended NDSU,
but quit "for financial reasons. I
was making more money than
college graduates." From
1930-1935 Mr. Schafer worked
for Dahls clothing on Main Street
in Bismarck. In 1936 he worked
with Vantine's in their Mandan
store and from then until 1942,'
he traveled southwest North
Dakota tor.the Fargo Paint and
Glass Company.
Mr. Schafer relaxes in front of a display of
Gold Seal products.
Mr. Schafer has been helpful to
BJC since its founding, but
perhaps his greatest contribution
came in the 1950's when BJC was
to move from the building located
on the capitol grounds. Fifteen
acres had been donated to BJC at
the State Penitentiary. Schafer
offered an esti mated 94 acres in
northwest Bismarck overlooking
the Missouri River. This location
was accepted and an architect
hired. On July 1. 1961, the new
Bismarck Junior College building
at Schafer Heights was opened.
The life of Harold Schafer is an
American success story. Mr.
Schafer was born in Stanton.
North Dakota and raised in
western.North Dakota, attending
schools in Stanton, Killdeer, Glen
Ullin, and Bismarck. In the 1929-30
On May I, 1942. the Gold Seal
Company was established. It was
regional at that time, selling in
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming, and Minnesota. The first
product, soon to be widely known,
was Glass Wax. In 1948 the Gold
Seal Company went national and
today, with its offices in
Bismarck, it does business in the
entire United States, Canada, and
Mexico, and buys raw materials
in Europe.
Perhaps three of the best known
"products" of the Gold Seal
Company are Glass Wax, Mr.
Bubble, and Medora. Medora. in
western North Dakota. the home of
Theodore Roosevelt in North
Dakota and the French Marquis
DeMores, has been restored by the
Gold Seal Company. The Gold
Seal Company's involvement in
Medora began with Gold Seal
buying some of the historical
buildings to give to the State
Historical Society. When the
Historical Society wouldn't accept
them, the Gold Seal Company
began to restore them.
Mr. Schafer said that the Gold
Seal Company inherited the "Old
Four Eyes" production that had
previously been produced by
NDSU. With major changes and the
main attempt being to entertain
the tourists, the Medora Musical
was born. It took ten years to build
an audience. but today it often has
capacity crowds during its July
and August performances.
WORK, the name of the Gold
Seal Company magazine, reflects
the ideals of Harold Schafer and
explains his success. Mr. Schafer
said that he never knew anyone
that starved from work. In May,
1974, Mr. Schafer spoke at the BJC
.Commencement. At that time he
said that he could not tell the
graduates what they should do or
what their objectives or vocations
should be, only that they should
work to the best of their ability at
whatever they decided to do.
When asked what he thought
the future would bring, Mr. Schafer
replied that Humanity has a nice
future. There will be some changes
such as in government, but he is
very optimistic about the future.
He feels that young people have
opportunities we know nothing of.
The future is fascinating to him.
The changes and advancements in
science and engineering will make
the future active and interesting.
Mr. Schafer said that he will never
live long enough to do everything
that he thinks about. He says that
we all have an opportunity to
participate in the future and that
the future will be good. no matter
how you add it up.

No full textBJC student opinions about Watergate, President Richard Nixon, and President Gerald FordThe following are comments
from BJC students concerning
the Nixon controversy and their
opinions of President Gerald R.
Ford.
I believe Gerry Ford was an
excellent choice. The cou ntry
needed integrity and honesty and
he was able to provide us both.
-Joe Wohlfeil
The men that were convicted
were justly tried although in the
end, they will probably get off,
proving what a shame our justice
system is.
I believe it was right to pardon
Nixon. It was for the cou ntry, not
Nixon.
I think they made a mountain
out of a mole hill. The Nixon aides
should not have even been tried,
let alone convicted and sentenced.
He (Ford) was a good choice for
Vice-President, but I don't think
he is what the American people
need right now in a president. He's
too wishy-washy, we need a leader.
I think they should turn over the
material pertinent to Watergate,
but I don't think they should turn
over anything that is important as
far as national defense is
concerned, or any conversations
with people or about things not
concerned with Watergate.
I think Nixon should be forced
to show all tapes and papers,
because this is all involved in the
Watergate scandel and should be
brought out to prove Nixon is a
criminal.
Tapes and papers shou Id be
made public, since it is a
democratic society and the people
take part in government
decisions, they should know about
what's happening.
I feel that the Nixon aides who
have been tried and convicted are
receiving what they deserve. In the
same token, though, Richard Nixon
should also be tried and, if proven
guilty, take the consequences.
I think Ford was a good choice
for Vice-President, especially
when I think of some of the others
who were considered, i.e. Connally.
More scandal. At least Ford is
clean.
I believe that Nixon authorized
most of the break-ins.
I believe he (Ford) was a good
choice for Vice-President, but not
for president. I think he became
president too fast and wasn't really
It's too bad the corruption was prepa red for it.
brought out only in the Republican
party. Surely we would be better
off getti ng rid of aII bad apples if
we looked to both Democrat and
Republican. -Liz Crosby
I feel that Mitchell, Erlichman,
Dean, and the other conspirators
should go to jail along with Nixon.
Since Nixon did get involved in
the cover up, he's involved all the
way. -Mike Stensrud
Ford was a good and logical
choice.
There was nothing wrong with
President Ford pardoning Nixon.
In fact, it's just as well that he did.
Nixon's acceptance of the pardon
seems an admission of guilt (but
who are we to judge)? We have
made entirely too much out of
Watergate. The news med ia
especially has blown it up so much
that who knows what the truth is
but God.
I think all of his (Nixon's) aides
were in the planning process and
tried to keep it from President
Nixon.
I think President Nixon should
have gone to testify and then get a
pardon. To this day, we don't know
exactly what happened. We
probably will never know.
