LADY BUC
MAUREEN RED EAGLE
MAUREEN RED EAGLE MEMBER OF LADY BUCS
Maureen Red Eagle's strength on the boards will be very important to the Lady Bucs of Dawson Community college as they enter a rebuilding year.
Red Eagle, 5'11" freshman, is averaging eight rebounds per game despite the fact that she was injured early in the season.  She'll be ready to play, however, when N3CAA Regional IX play really gets underway after
the Christmas break.   Red Eagle and several other of Montana's top prep players join only two experienced Lady Bucs.   The freshmen-cominated squad are even coached bv a first-year coach, Joyce Bignell, who played her college basketball at Montana State University.
Red Eagle is the daughter of Betty Red Eagle and a graduate of Poplar High School.  At this Eastern Montana College she is a business major.

REPRINT FROM THE DANIELS COUNTY LEADER, SCOBEY, MONTANA.
NEMONT IS PLANNING AREA TV
Nemont   Tel--which   for   several   decades   has
provided a five county area with efficient rural telephone service, some time ago got into cable tv with a plan which would provide rural areas with a kind of service hitherto unavailable.
The plans now are maturing, and would provide most of northeastern Montana with that service.
The technicalities now are being worked out, but the essence is that all rural areas will be within reach of these services at reasonable rates.
Hitherto cable tv has been most practical in areas of concentrated populations.
But some new technologies have changed the picture.
By 1984, according to Nemont, cable tv facilities will be available at reasonable rates to virtually all rural areas in northeastern Montana.
Nemont for more than twenty years has proven that
in regard to telephone services--urban or rural--it
has established levels of efficiency unequalled by any other telephone services, either private or cooperative in Montana.
Current plans also indicate that part of Nemom's cable tv system will be sent out from KCGM's 400-ft. tower, about iVt miles east of Scobey.
WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW VEAR TO WORK ON, LET'S MAKE IT PRODUCTIVE.
