The ASISU Senate refused to approve a Contingency Fund request of $5,000 to aid the Bengal Newspaper in its continued operation in what appeared to many as a politically and personally motivated vote during their meeting Monday night. This comes following a $4,921 approval to fund the Bengal Dancer's purchase of championship rings, and a $5,000 request by the Danson dance program to fund travel expenses to New York, which was approved immediately after.
Jon Newlee, the winningest coach in Idaho State University women's basketball history, has announced that he is leaving the Bengal program to take the head coaching position at the University of Idaho. He will take over for Mike Divilbiss, who resigned from his position on March 28 with two years left on his contract and a seven-year record with the Vandals of 82-119.
