Nuclear Generator In Rudolph
Generates Opposition
On ,\pril 24, almost JOO
townspeople and other coo·
c c r ned Ce nt ra l Wisconsin
rl'Sidents. including a group
from UWSP . a t t ended a
Ciliten·s F'oru m a t lhe Rud olph
Schoo l. Th e Jop •c und e r
diScussion is the possibility that
a s itt in the town of ltudolph may
be chosen for the construction of
a nuclt'ar generating plant.
A year ago. four state utili ty
romp.ames hl}d expressed the
11t'l'd for such a plant and had
begun looking into over eighty
pa ss •bl e sites Recen t ly
ho"'' t'\'e r . t he ulllities an·
nounced that they had cut the
chOIC't'S do.,.·n IO five , which
mcluded the site m Rudolph
.., h1ch IS 11'1 Wood County. Other
poss1ble locations nnmed wue
m Sheboyga n . Je ff erso n ,
1\enosha. and G rant Counties.
In late March. the Slevens
Point Journal had stated lhat
the s ite was north of Biron and
about a milt' southeasl of the
V11lage of ltudolph, most of it
bemg nort h of County Trunk. P .
The site IS on ly a mile west of
the Portage Count y line.
Accord ing to rough estimntes.
th(' totnl in\'e:5tment In such a
plan t could app roac h 1900
m1llion. One advantage given
for the Wood County site is its
closeness to transmission lines
that run to Minneapolil and
Chicago.
l. y l c Up di ke o f th e
UWSP 1-:nvlronm('nta\ Council,
one o( the groups that had
members a t the Rudolph
meeti ng sai d that Cnt ll' ror•
mental groups have to s tart

tht' cllltcns ol the possible
h.uards of such a plant. Updike
noted that in the case of the

Mich1gan a t Poinl Beach, nea r
Two Creeks. Wl seonsln. opposition had s trongly de\·eloped
only a ft e r the licenses had been
applied for resulting in litt le lhal
coold be done to stop the con·
struction of the plant.
Although the exact size at the
site lilnd production that would
be invotvt.'d has not yet been
detcr mmed. thr utilities will
have the power of eon·
demnalion in acqui ring !he
land. Upd11te c ommented that if
the utility com p.1nies came up
with the perm its lilnd satisfied
all other requirements, lan ·
downers Ln the a rea could be
faced with condemna tion.
Plans suggest that on~ the
site is selected that II will take
lil t least six years to build !he
plan!. II would probably be at
least 19'1~ before construction
could begin. ,\lso. an en·
v1 ronmc ntal lmpact s tatcmt'nt

and federal agencies for approval before construction can

Too Many
At The Trough
As the Pointer reported ea rlier in the semseter, S)'stem·wide
budget cuts ~re aUecting all phases of universi ty life. With
economic pressure mounting, the faculty at th is institut ion rinds
itself thrown into a labyrinth from which some will certainly not
emerge. We had hoped to be a ble to present a comprehensive
report on the latest round of cuts, which is reaching even the
privileged, the tenured facult y. but lack or tim~ aod resources
prevents suc h coverage. ln light of this, we shall summarize the
essentials facts and issues, as we underst.and them, and offer
commentary on the broader problems involved. We are confident
that our attentive readership will be able to differentiate those
" facts and issues" from our observa tions which follow and we offer
an apology for the circu mstances which stand in the way of th e,
regular coverage.
Enrollment drops, in combination with broader economic factors, have demanded the university system effect immediate
fi nancia l cu tbacks and project cutbacks into upcoming academic
seasons. Though personnel and programs, in theory, are to have
some protection fro m the bureaucratic axe, In practice it appears
that the facult y a t this unvierstiy is figh ting for survival. CUts for
th e 1974-75 academ ic yea r wiU include tenured faculty. This a ttack
on th e piM acle of the ivory tower has thrown the faculty into
a ne n ous uproar. Whereas the previous slices into non-te nured
locully were grudgingly accepted , this new financia l assault has
stirred up at least verbal dissent. Un til a specia l fa culty meeting
with Chancellor Dreyfus on Wednesday, Apr. 25, some faculty
members were apparenUy unclea r as to where the decisons to cut
were being made. The chancellor. a t that time, pointed out that th e
final decison rests with him .
More broadly. the process works something like this: The
Budget Analyst calculates the overall cutback on the basis of
enrollment projections and passes on its data to the Budget Ad·
visory Committee. The SAC formulates a breakdown fo r colleges
and other units and forwards recommendations to the Administrative Council which, in conJunct ion with the chancellor's
st.lff, determ ines cut recommendations for the chancellor's staff.
determines cut recommendations for the chancellor. In the end, as
the ma n himself says, the chancellor has the final word; his action
rests oo guidelines established by Cent ral Adm instralion.
The faculty is to be " involved" in the cutback process and, according to one aca demic dean, there is "more facul ty in\·olvemcnt
on this campus tha n any other campus in the system. " That dean
readily admitted, however. that ultimately there is nothing the
faculty can do and at the Apr. 25 meeting the chancellor affirmed
this point Dreyfus must trim the budget by $l .1 million by May 15
a nd . il the departments do not turn up the names ol those to be
released. the deans will surely do it a rbitrarily, with Dreylusonlan
approval. At this point . the fa ctuaJ interrelationships become very
complex and we can on ly suggest some of th e major issues which
arose a t the Apr. 25 meeting.
At that encounter. one department c.hainnan maintained that.
according to UW President John Weaver, tenured Iacuity should be
cut only a ft er all other alternatives have been explored and that
this unviersity has not , in fact. ex plored all alternatives. In reply ,
Dreyfus sta ted that all options had been considered and. when that
same chairman asked for a chance fo r the faculty to work out
somethi ng. Dreyfus naUy statecfthey could not cut a million dollars
by Ma y t5. Another professor charged that the May 15 deadline
was merely a legal technicality and that the faculty would be
willing to take vo luntary cuts. To this professor' s way of think ing
land quite likely to most present) Dreyfus is working to gel the
faculty to accept their fate r ather than a rgue with Central Ad·
ministr ation to change its position on procedure and criteria. ln
response to a suggestion to cutback on inte rscholastic ath letiCs in
order to save academic areas, Dryefus implied that such a
measure would interfere with the selling or the univ~ity to
prospect1ve students.
Proposals that all faculty work :1• time instead of full·time were
met by admin istrative spokesmen who pointed out that such a
move would necessitate lega l refonn , touching on areas such as
Lewinski Replies

faculty benCllls. e.g ., ret1remtnt. Eventually, the assembled
fa culty passed two hall·hea rted resolutions and threw the whOle
matter into the- la p of th e Faculty Affairs Committee. Only a
miracle, or a snap or the chancellor's fingers, wiU be able to
resurrect it.
The losers in this bureaucratic ga me will ultima tely be lhe
students. Al th e Apr. 25 mPeting, only one professor pointed
directly to th is potential damage. Generally spea king, the I acuity is
looki ng to employme nt opportW1ilies, leaving the question or the
student Jife to be set tled at some future date. For Dreyfus ,
s tudents are only abStractions to be considered as factors in
faculty " credit hour production; " any qualita tive aspects of the
student life are subordinated to the dollars and cents demands of
the budget. To Dreysus' sa les manager mind, the students exist
only to bring " money -i n the door." <One can envision Walter

reflected in the question of one fa c ulty member, who suggested
that perhaps tuition could be raised "a sma ll amount" in order to
save faculty pos itions.
The weak-kneed apologism of the facult y is at last roming home
to roost. In the past we have said that a critical professor is a
ra rity : the Apr. 25 meeting solidly confirmed this point. Amid all
the bread and butte r babble, only one professor , speaking as
chairman of his department, stood and confronted the Dreyfus
administration on principle. It was a voice or reasorr in an
adolescebt mob. The res ponse ca me in the fines t Dreyfusooian
rhetoric , the critic left in disgust, a nd discussion returned to the
feedbag.
In a large r con text. what is happening to the faculty is probably
th ei r own just due. 'The social ~economic system , of which they have
refused to be critica l, is now coming down around their academic
ears. On the questions of th e milita rizat ion of American society
and the ma intenance of the r ich a t the ex~se of everyone else,
they have remained silent and now, with
wa r economy Calling
into depression, they a re choking on th at silence. The tragedy is
that the universi ty, i.e., what is left of the Wliverslty, will also
suffer in th is decline. But, in regard to th is impotent faculty, we
say let them choke. for they are not the university but merely an
" educa ted" veneer . In failing to develop a practical critique of
business la w, which lends " authority" to the fo rce and fraud
system now ruling America, lh e professors have placed their own
he!ds on the block ; the axe will be linely honed wi th "legality."
the
'l'he record or the tacUity a t this institut ion wilh respect to the
larger practical issues ol society has, at best. been pitiful. In the
lace ol demanding social probl e ms <and we need not ofle< well·
known examples ), the faculty have concerned themselves with
meanJngless "hobbies" and a witless "social li£e' ' of cocktail
parties and country clubbing. With society falling into disin·
tegralion. the historians and "social thinkers" have dabbled in
innocuous psychological mind bubbles rather than help students
develop a coherent, practi<:lll body ol knowledge. While starvation
is afoot in America, these academicians look only to their own
pocketbooks, their own private interest. th eir own " jobs." Even
when confront ed with dismemberme nt by an administration which
can add positions w~iJe others must su btract, lhJs fac ulty cannot
summon the courage or the ideas necessa ry to suggest meaningrul
change.
One recalls th e exchange in which the student charged the
professor with ignoring reality and the professor glibly retorted,
'What is reality? " As Cloud Cuckoo-la nd rapidly Iails beneath the

There have been many limitations upon and mistakes made by
the Pointer. At times it wasted space and resources on trivia l and
insignificant campus events. There were also a few instances of
misplaced invective. The most serious lim itations, however, were
largely beyond the control or the starr. Primary among these was
the financial necessity of including advertising. Advertising has no
place whatsoever in a newspaper. lnvariably, lhe paper becomes
twisted to £it the demands of its advertisers, losing its critical,
objective and public cha racter. The American press, and the
American media as a whole, is a case in poinL Because of the
budgetary restriction, however, the PolDter was forced to take in a
considerable amount or advertising, always to the exclusion or
other materiar.
There were also mal'!y articles and investigations that were never
done or were covered incompletely. This was largely a question of
time. Serious journalism requires a considerable amount or work
and students nre severely restricted as to the time they can devot e
to it. They must, by adminjstration rule, carry a full course load in
addition to their work on the paper. Usually, both their st udies and
the paper suHer. Articles which require a considerable amount ol
investigation and research are often impossible to pursue, while
students who are concientious abou t the paper often find them·
seJvcs behind in their course work.. It would seem that the
Wliversity deliberately fosters this policy in an attempt to curtail
the scope and quality of the student press. Whatever th e intent.
this is Car too orten the outcome.
ln spite or these weaknesses, many have viewed the Pointer as
a successful attempt at radical student journalism. The Polnter
has retained a critical, radical perspective, but this is not enough.
ln the final analysis. the Pointer has failed ; it has failed to fundamentally improve the world. and this must be the ultimate
citerion in judging any act or institution. But its failure is not that
of a student newspaper as a n isolated and self~tained entil)'. Jt
reflects the failure of the larger institution in which it has its be.ir!_&:
the university.
This university is defunct and basically
meaningless. It refuses to acknowledge the very existence of the
serious problems facing. modern civilization. The Polnter a ttempted to clarify some of these problems and suggest solutions,
but it was wasted effort. Instead, it foWJd this Wliversity actively
participating. through a front organization for the CIA. in the
destruction or Indochina. It found a university cnthraUed by the
military. It found a university which refuses to acknowledge any
problem more serious than where to put the next parking lot.
This university is dead. it is without idea s. Immersed in a
complex and constantly changing world, it merely turns inward.
It is incapable or providing positive directio n to this change,
preferring instead a world fraught with business-anarchy and
chaos. The ultimate and sole function or a university ls to build a
better world. Failing that. it has no reason for existence.
It is difficult not to view this university and its professors with
pity and scorn . It, and every other university in this country,
should be the driving force of social change; yet they seem
unaware that there is a world to be changed. They merely waJJow
in self·pity as students and society tum away. Above all. the
universities refuse to relate to the world and refuse to question the
nature of their failure. There a.re vast problems and auestions in
this world begging for answers: war; poverty : work; racism ;
nutrition ; transportatioo ; pollution .... All must be dealt with if
humanity i.s to achieve a peaceful and prosperous life. The
Wliversity that realizes this and acts accordingly _will not have to
worry about empty clBS!rooms and libraries. It will have to worry
about the deluge or students eager to participate in significant
action. eager to change the world. Our universities seem incapable
of doing this. They merely tum to advertising and public relations

university , in short. has become another form or business and has
adopted one or its primary principles: fraud. It, too. is occupied
with convincing us that we li ve in a never·never land or endless
delights and pleasures.
A final question remains. If a society's universities have fa iled,
where does it turn for dir~tion and guidance! Without Ideas, how
can it build a better world! It is extremely difficult to find any
positive direction to American life-the triumph of private interest. Coree and ignorance seems complete. If there is any hope
at aU or overcoming them, we must maintain and roster radi ca l
scholarship and perspective, wherever it is round . Without it we
are doomed.
He Knows It All?
The student newspaper at this university is. we believe, in
serious trouble. During the first week of April , the publications
board selected the new editor, Robert Kerksieck . One of the maJor.
reasons for the early selection was to allow the new editor adequate
time to observe the complex technical process of the newspaper
and to confer with the present staff on the wid~:ranging administrative problems involved with running this large and very
imPOrta nt studen t departmenl The new editor had the opportunity
to Observe the complete production process Cor three issues.
At the time of this writing !May t) Roher! Kerksleok has done
next to nothing to hnd out how the department has been run in the
pasL Ho has had coffee once with the editor. He has refused to
meet with any of the starr to receive a briefing on what he might
expect from his future position. On May 3, the present operation
will cease and the chance to " learn by experience" will be lost to
our new student editor.
Why Kerksieck takes such an irresponsible approach to his
duties is dHftcult to imagine. Pointer advisor Dan Houlihan
reports to us that Kerksieck " does not feel comfortable over
there." U. in fact, this is true then Kerksicck Is either a foo l or a
coward. Though the editorial staff of the newspaper may not agr ee
wi th Kerksieck's " politics," we have tried to make every opportunity available so that the new editor will not be totally
"green" in the fall . Regardless of how ono " feels, " it is a fact that
the Polnler Is not the VIewpoint. Kerksieck's present publication.
We have urged the senate president, Joe LaFleur. the student
controller, J im Hamilton and advisor Houlihan to contact
Kerksieck and convince him that he should come to the PolnLer
omce. We do not want to tell him what to do but the fact is that
there is a n overwhelming amount or practical material and work
for a new editor to understand , regardless or his editorial policy.
We have heard "Wlofficially" that Kerksieck intends to learn the ·
whole process during the summer. It has taken three years to
organize and perfect wha t is now an all-student operation from top
to bottom. If the new editor can learn three years or problems in
three months with no eXl)erienced assistance. he is indeed a child
prodigy. (Another interesting point : One of our news sources has
reported that he witnessed Ke rksieck talking to Chancellor
Dreyfus thrte timts in ooe day. How long has it been since the
editor of the student newspaper has received such attention! Not
since the Pointtr was an arm or the University News Service. )
The editorship or the Polnt.er is a position requiring serious
commitment. That Kerksieck takes such a cavalier attitude tells
us that be does not give a damn about the student interest: that he
thinks that it is all o game. You, our readers. have often disagreed
with us but that disagreement was generaJiy put to creative purposes, i.e., we have thrived on the criticism. Our first and last goal
has been Lo mak e the Polnter a strong voice for the studenl We
fear that the confident Mr. Kerksieck wilJ make a shambles of aU
that has been done.
