-<Dn age and alcohol
Guest editorial by Susan Tibbits, U.C. Legislative Director
The following editorial statement bas
been released by United Council in response
to the suggested changes in Wisconsin's
legal drinking age that have appeared in the
media.
In 1972 the Wisconsin Legislature lowered
the drinking age for wine and alcohol to 18
as a part of the federal age of majority
changes. In 1972, alcohol abuse- among all
segments of the population was nearly as
- bad as it is now -and yet very little money
has been invested to figure out why we have
such a fixation with alcohol and how to
change that. There are many laws and
remedies· in Wisconsin to control the sale,
use, and possession of alcohol- but they go
largely unenforced. Instead, The
Legislature is told that the problem is out of
control so now they must handle it-and bow
do they respond? Change a law!!! Senato~
Gary Goyke, chair person of the Youth
Alcohol and the Law panel and often quoted
in the media lately,-commented, "We found
that no matter who, no matter where, high
school students found it easy to obtain
alcohol." But he also stated the following,
"the blame for the situation lies not with the
law itself but with the law's enforcement.
Parents and school officials in particular
have been lax in enforcing the state's 18
year old drinking age."
A law cannot force a person to drink nor
can it keep a person from drinking. Peer
pressure and the desire to be normal make
and encourage people to drink. Alcohol
advertising is some of the most persuasive
and heavily _ financed advertising in
existence. Student newspapers and the
airwaves are awash with it. University
timetables sell space· to it; and beer can
collecting is putting Tinker Toys out of
business. Drinking has gone from
something a person might choose to do, tosomething nearly everyone does. (Just ask ·
1 someone who doesn't drink!}
A change in the drinking age from 18 to 19, or 21, is the best example of ignorance and
bandaid solutions to be offered to the
Wisconsin public in a long time. A
committee commissioned by the Council on
Drug and Alcohol Abuse specifically to
study the drinking situation in Wisc_onsin
found that lowering Wisconsin's drinking
age in 1972 for alcohol and wine does not
appear to have caused significant change in
the 20 year trend toward increased alcohol
consumption and abuse by young people.
What effect if any · is raising the drinking
age one, two, or even three years likely to
have on that 20 year-long pattern of legal
and illegal youthful consumption?
More than 80 percent of the population
over the' age of 18 drinks. More than 75
percent of the population in the state
defined as "teens" drink. Can we honestly
propose to abridge the rights of those 18 to
20 in a false attempt to keep teens from
drinking, when drinking is glamourized all
around them? Just as so many social
problems, drinking and its attendant
abuses are ignored until something triggers
the public to act. It is especially revealing
that it was a teenager Mary Sorenson, who
went bar to bar, liquor store to store,
illegally buying alcohol, and then released
that information to the press in an attempt
to get help for the problem while showing
the extent of the abuse of the laws.
Mary Sorenson, the Milwaukee Journal,
many respected legislators and community
leaders are against a change in the drinking
age. United' Council applauds their stand,
which in the face of such supposedly
"-concerned" public outcry seems illadvised. These persons ·know that a simple
change of age is a sham - .and a very
harmful one. We must wipe out ignorance
and disregard for the present laws and work
for a healthy attitude towards alcohol.

the following week, based on the

In no way does this process
seem to be any judgment of the

To the Pointer,
Last . month while I was
watching the telethon in the
coffeehouse, a pool stick came up
for auction. From where I was
seated it looked like rather nice,
and my presumptions were
reassured by the announcer who
stated that it was in good
condition and worth at least $20.
So after some considerable
thougnt on my part I decided to
put ·my bid in, and gained
possession of it for $29.
After taking it home and
carefully e;xamining it, I noticed
some imperfections with it, the
main one being that is is badly
warped. And for those of you who
aren't very knowledgeable in the
area of pool, · a stick that is
warped isn't much good. Now
don't get me wrong, I'm all for
·charitable fund raising eventS,
and I always contribute my fair
share . but to spend as much
money as I did and get a faulty
product makes me feel like I was
shafted. I think the next time
second hand items are brought in
for auction, someone should
· check them over carefully, or the
next time they try and rid them
on the ·general public, people will ~
be a little more hesitant with
their money. And after their final
total, I think they could use as
much money as they could get. .

To the Pointer,
Student responses to
Kissinger's public appearance on
cal_!Jpus are parallel to student
attitudes toward government and
toward Lyndon Johnson in the
middle 1960's.
I
If my perception is correct, we
are in the early stages of a
campaign to return the United
States to the role of ~elf appointed
policeman to the world: Kissinger
made a strong statement of the
desirability of that role in his
comments here.
In the early stages of the war
against Vietnam, a poll
conducted
by
student
government on the nine state
university campuses, showed
that over 80- percent of.
'responding students said yes·, to
the question, Do you support the
government's policy in Vietnam?
Since a majority of the students
listening to Kissinger stood up
after his comments, they ·might _
be supposed to agree with his
views, just as students in the

middle 1960's agreed with Lyndon
Johnson.
I wonder how many of them
realized 'that if what Kissinger
proposed in his speech were
carried out, they wouldn't be
listening to Kissinger; they would
in all probability be fighting
Cubans or Angolans in the
jungles of Africa? I wonder· how
many of the students who
defended Kissinger recognized a
call to arms in his speech? How
many intend to respond to the call
to fight in Africa or Iran?
Kissinger based his call to
arms on what seems to be a
mistaken notion of the mission
and goal of American life. Is it
our fundamental task to force
upon the underdeveloped nations
of the world our ideas of
economics and government?
If the Russians waste their
lives and property on foolish
efforts to control some part of
Africa, should we do so too?
Kissinger and his •allies, such
as former Admiral Zumwalt who
regularly writes what appear to
be misleading reports about
American weakness and Russian
strength, ignore the failures and
continuing stupidities of the
Russians. They wasted millions
in giving arms and money to
build the Aswan dam, for the
Egyptians, only to be thro~n out
when the Egyptians got tired of
their high-handedness.
Russian policies with regard to
Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia,
show the same failure to
understand Africa. Nothing
seems clearer than the intense
desire of Africans to manage
their own· affairs. The time is long
past when whites can · conttol
Africans by killing Africans with
white military machinery.
Kissinger's defense of his
essentially amoral power politics
rested
on
evasions,
misstatements of fact, and a
profound misinterpretation of
basic American values and
traditions. An attempt to follow
the guidance of his policies will
surely disrupt this nation as
thoroughly as in the last decade,
and conceivably ' end our
democracy .
His comments here were not
subjected to any critical
analysis; indeed they could
hardly withstand any reasonable
consideration.
For example, he referred to our
"friends in the free world," with
little effort to define fr~ world.
He did illustrate these
"friends" as Iran, Angola, Zaire,
and (South) Vietnam. His
reference to the so-called free
nation of <South) Vietnam might
be called, po)jtely, an example of
reification, that is, to create a
reality by giving it a name. There ·
was no nation of <South) Vietnam
various
American
before
. politicians tried to create it with
AmeriCan mon~y and guns. When
we stopped- giving money and
guns to various corrupt, or
dictatorial Vietnamese traitors
or mercenaries, the S<K!alled
nation disappeared, contrary to
Kissinger's comment about the
·success
of
Laird's
Vietnamization policy. Tbat
policy was in fact a, dismal
failure. Such terms as
"Vietnamization" or · "South
Vietnam" illuStrate Orwellian
doublespeak, A traditional name
for the prQCess is lying.
Space does not permit a full
analysis of the many other
misstatements of fact that were
in Kissinger's remarks, nor of the
way his philosophy of amoral
power politics differs from what
one would hope is our best set of
traditions, derived £rom
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,
and a host of others, a set of
.traditions that migllt be
characterized , as . combining
ethical
i-dealism
and
pragmatism.
However, the alternative to a
critical and analytic approach to
Kissinger is to learn · th~ hard
way, in the jungles of Afnca, or
on the dry plains of Iran, where,
for 2,500 years · or more,
imperialist minded seekers after
· power have killed unknown
numbers of men, to exalt their
own glory, and to get what
Kissinger-calle(l, with inimitable
chutzpah, an "inherited
position."
_
I conclude wilh a question, How
many barrels of oil is equal to the
life of one young American?

North Division Street:
growing up just like
a big city
--Cruisin' through hamburger heaven
By John Faley
To many environmentally
oriented students' dismay,
commercial development
continues in · the Stevens
Point area. North Division
Street's strip seems to be one
of the most rapidly growing
areas.
Attractive commercial
zoning,
vehicular
accessibility; and the
proximity of Sentry

may seem surprising to
some. However, when the .

facilities in the 1960's, with
additional dorms and other
structures, the university
was not governed by the

Services at Sentry.
According to O'Neil, more
white-tail deer utilize this
tract now than did before
construction.
Eddie Sandburg, the
principal biologist on this
study worked with the
contractor in designing the
landscape. Much of the
vegetation is native to the
area and is growing well.
The Curtis Tension Line
traverses the main courtyard
at Sentry. Vegetation
characteristic of northern
climes is planted north of this
line, and southern species are
growing south of this line,

Much of the remaining

a "green" state, with crosscountry ski trails and jogging
paths present.
Of the construction site,
o'Neil said it is marginal for
housing, yet ideal for a
structure such as Sentry.
Bedrock is found from 6 to 20
feet below the ground's
surface. Also, the plot is very
accessible due to highway 51
and the beltline.
In addition to the recent
openings of several

WWSP broadcasting a better Roth also added that the date
sound, but it's a clearer one
and it's ttaveling farther
than before.
According to Chuck Roth,
program director at WWSP,
this is something the folks at
the radio station waited for
and saved money for.
Total cost for both stereo
converstion and transmitter
was around $30,000. Roth said
the money came from
donations from the Student
Government Association's
reserve fund, the Gesell
Renovation Fund which is
money used for the
reconstruction of the
Communication building,
local businesses and
individuals, and the station's
own solicitation program.
Roth said the new
equipment the station got in
order to go stereo includes a
new console, new speakers,
and other minor additions to
the control room such as tone
arms and stereo cartridge
machines.
The production studio has
been totally revamped also
with a new console, new
speakers, turntables, reel-toreels, and cartridg e
machines.
All this adds up to
improved
quality
broadcasting, Roth said.
With the old system, all the
for trivia would be announced
early in March.
The antenna that the
station presently has will not
handle 1500 watts so Roth
said now money is being
saved for a new antenna. The
station plans on raising
money for this themselves.
Besides meaning a better
sound for WWSP, the
conversion to stereo brings
with it several new programs
and changes.
A big change will be more
air time for 90 fm. The station
will go 24-hours a day Friday
through Sunday. This means
there will be non-stop
broadcasting from 6 a .m.
Thursday until 2 a.m.
Monday.
There will also be an
eleventh-hour special run
daily Tuesday through
Sunday. At 11 p.m. these
nights, old and new albums
will be · played in their
entirety. Monday from 10
p.m. until2 a .m. will continue
to be reserved for two-way
radio.
Another new program
which has been put together
with the combined efforts of
the folks at 90 fm and the
Sojourn Express Recording
Studio is a local talent forum
called the MALT Shop. Roth
said local performers and
groups auditioned for people
from the station and the
recording studio and if they
were chosen, Sojourn
Express donated studio time
to record a song. Starting
Saturday, February 3, a halfhour show will include
playing the recorded songs
and interviewing the
musicians. Two or three
recordings will be played per
show. The MALT (musicians
association of local talent)
shop will air weekly at 7 p.m.
Roth said, "The new stereo
sound system will do true
justice to the people who have
produced these pieces." He
added that there are still
openings and any local
musicians interested in
auditioning should contact
the radio station.
The station has one· other
program, that although is not
a result of the new stereo
system, will still be new this
semester. The "New
Vintage" program featuring
Christian rock which will be
aired Sunday mornings from
7-9. Roth said the show will
fea ture music that is
concerned with the positive
feeliings of life rather than
the philosophy of . parties,
drugs, and sex that much
rock music caters to. Artists
who fall in this category
include Keith Green, Linda
Ronstadt, Phil Keaggey, Cat
Stevens and America.
All things considered,
WWSP has some exciting
new things happening for it
this semester, so feel free to
tune in and check some of
them out.

An interview
Apparently there are some
people ~round this university
who feel the Acting
Chancellor shouldn't rock the
boat in making any major
administrative decisions
until a permanent chancellor
is appointed, presumably
next summer, but John B.
Ellery flatly disagrees.
Ellery, who has served as
UWSP's Acting Chancellor
since his appointment last
spring, said it had been
suggested to him that he
should not make any major
decisions until the .actual
chancellor is selected. But he
said yesterday that he has
the job, the authority, the
responsibility and he is going
to make the decisions.
Ellery cited decisions on ,
the budget, Old Main's
renovation and the selection
of the Graduate Dean as
being among the most
important priorities at the
moment.
"The search for Graduate
Dean is one of the things
which was suggested that J
postpone,"
Ellery
commented, "but my feeling
is that I will know more about
the process in the graduate
program than a new person
from the outisde."
A Search and Screen
Committee is currently
screening applicants for the
position of Graduate Dean.
The committee will submit a
list of nominees to the
chancellor by March 1.
In his months as Acting
Chancellor Ellery has made
it clear that he is not merely
sitting on his hands waiting
for someone else to take over.
He recently appointed Ms.
Elfriede Massier as the
Director of Affirmative
Action on campus, and said
at the Faculty Senate
meeting · that he intends to
begin tackling the problem of
salaries for faculty and staff
here, where the average
paychecks are the lowest in
the UW System.
Ellery explained two
approaches in dealing with
the low .salary problem on
this campus. "We could
appeal for special funding
allocation
from
the
University System in order to
make the adjustments, or
determine if it is possible to
do so through an internal
reallocation of funds. "
The conflict between
tenure quotas and 100 percent
tenure is another problem
Ellery is exploring. "It is
very difficult to dismiss a
person who has tenure, but
what do you do if you have
departments with 100 percent
tenure and enrollment
declines?"
A teacher can be granted
tenure almost anytime, but
seven years is the maximum
probationary period.
"One way to prevent this
problem is to establish some
type of quota, say 75 percent.
That way if cuts in staffing
are necessary you can cut
back on non-tenured people,"
said Ellery. Another
possibility Ellery described
was that departments be
allowed to tenure anyone
they want up to 100 percent,
but Ellery warned that if
departments do that, there
has to be SQme way to cut
back if necessary.
Under the second approach
the only way to cut back is to
introduce what is called a
Programmed Specific Fiscal
Emergency. Under state
tenure laws tenure can be
broken on that.ground. "We
could take the second
approach, but that is a big
responsibility because you've
got to prove there is a
Programmed Specific Fiscal
Emergency." He said tenure
is not really a problem at the
moment, but all of the
forecasts indicate there will
be an enrollment decline. .
UWSP has the second
highest space deficit for
physical education facilities
in the UW System. Ellery
said he expects the university
will probably get approval
for a modified expansion of
the Physical Education
Building, as the proposed
addition to the Phy. Ed.
Building was delayed by a
committee of the Board of
Regents in December.
"What we're doing now
with the help of the system is
determining what we can do
with less money." He also
said he is working with the UW Central Administration
in seeking funds for at least
15 new positions.
When asked if his ideas
were similar to those of
The Pointer Page 15
Chancellor
Chancellor Dreyfus on 24hour visitation in the dorms,
and the two-year mandatory
drom residency requirement, .
Ellery said his ideas are not
and never were identical to
Dreyfus'. He jokingly stated
.that he doesn't know a person
in the world who would want
24 access from anybody. "I
wouldn't even want 24 hour
visitation from my own
children!"
As far as the two year
mandatory dorm residency
requirement, Ellery said it is
hard to come up with a
blanket rule that works out
best for everyone. He said
there is evidence that
freshmen students make the
transition from high school to
university life easier while
living in the structured
environment of thedorm, but
that the dorm situation may
make life miserable for
others. "We want to provide
the best learning atmosphere
for students, and the most
happy one." The Acting Chancellor said
one of the big concerns in
administration is to insure
assumption that he will
introduce new ideas," Ellery
said," I don't know that I
actually believe that...but I
am sure that it is one of the
thin.gs that would b.~
suggested as a weakness on
my part."
The chancellor's picture is
rather cloudy at this point, as
the final decision on who will
that effective channels of
communication
are
maintained with all
constituents
including
students, faculty, classified
staff and the community.
He cited his greatest
strength in the fact that he
knows this university, the
UW System, and has a
background of experience in

not to give me the job permanently."
''
dealing with the needs and
concerns of the people here.
"I suppose that there are
advantages in bringing in a
that
person (chancellor)
hasn't spent so much time in
this institution on the
become the lOth chancellor of
this university probably
won't be decided for several
months. One thing is clear
though, John Ellery thinks he
is the best qualified
candidate for the job.
"If I didn't think I was the
best qualified candidate I
wouldn't have applied for the
job, and though it is possible
that someone else might get
the job, I think it would l1e a
terrible mistake not to give
me the job permanently."
Ellery does have quite a list
of credentials under his hP.It
He received his Ph.J): !!'<?!!!
the UniverSity of WisconsinMadison, has taught at six
universities over a period of
28 years, has written over 100
articles and has been listed in
the Directory of American
Scholars, Leaders in
Education, Conteml!_o-:ary
Authors and Who's Who in the
Midwest.
These next few months
promise to be interesting
ones for Ellery, the former
motorcycle racer who now
says he drives a Corvette.
The UWSP community has
got a verbal guarantee that if
the Board of Regents opens
the · chancellor's door to
Ellery he'll race through it.
Ellery put it best himself, "I
don't do anything for the sake
of losing, and I don't plan to
start now."

intelligence by telling me how intelligent I am.
Especially when they send me form letters with
my name stuck on them at carefully selected
intervals to make me think I'm getting a
personal letter instead of some computergenerated plugola. Last week I got just such a
letter from their Circulation Director, an
amiable fellow named Dan Capell. It.seems ol'
. Dan has gone out on· a limb to get me to
subs.cribe. · - /
·"Dear MR.-. HAf"1:
I've got a bet on you, MR • HA~ .••
... and I'm backing it with the unusual special
student offer that you'll find enclosed with this
letter."
· ·
The bet is)hat once I have Newsweek in my
very own home, I'll find that I simply can't l!ve
without my weekly fix of homogenized news.
The letter had my name stuck all over it. I didn't
subscribe, but I did send them a reply.
~r MR. CAPELL: .
How nice to hear from you again, I'!R. C.~!'JELL .
You've been writing me for auite sonie time now,
offering me copies of NEWSI•.IEEK .
In your most reeent letter, DAN Jmay I call you by
your first name? Thank you) you state that you are
willing to bet that once I tl-y NEWS~JEEK , I'll decide
that I "don't want to be without it." .What kind of odds
do you want, DAN ?
I'll bet you 100 to 1 that I ._can do without
1\!EWSI:.IEEK . If that's not a good enough offer for
THE CAPELL~ ., I'll make itlOOO to 1.
You see, DAN my roommate already .gets
NEI:JS~JEEK
. I've read some of his issues, and I am
honestly convinced, DAN that the removal of
NEI:JS~!£EK
from my home would not pOse a major
threat to the quality of my life. So let's not go making
any hasty wagers, okay DAN? Okay.
In regard to your kind offer of 24 weeks of
NEWSI:JEEK
for33cents a week, I must say that's the
best offer you've made so far.

Holiday Inn of my choice. I had a broiled Red Snapper
that just melted in my mouth, DAN.
DAN , the.next time you decide to send me one of your
letters, please ask yourself these key questions ...
-Is it possible, since I've sent Mr. Ham dozens of
offers, and he's failed to subscribe to my magazine,
that he simply isn'tinterested in · NEWSWEEK ?
-Could it be that he doesn't believe I really think he

of the week
Sophomore forward Phil
Rodriguez has been named
the UWSP Player of the Week
for the second consecutive
week for his role in the
Pointers' 65-64 and 95-54 wins
over Minnesota-Duluth and
UW-River Falls respectively.
Rodriguez, a 6-5, 190 pound
forward from Green Bay
(Bay Port) scored 22 points in
each of the wins giving him
three consecutive games in a
row in which he scored 22
points.
In scoring his two game
total of 44 points, Rodriguez
converted 21 of 36 field goal
attempts and two of three
free throws. In addition, he
pulled down seven rebounds,
passed off for four assists and
blocked three shots.
Against UM -Duluth ,
Rodriguez sank 10 of 18 field
goals and two of three charity
tosses while he was
successful on 11 of 18 shots
against UW-River Falls with
a season high six rebounds.
Pointer coach Dick Bennett
noted that consistent allaround play has become a
Rodriguez strength in recent
weeks.
"Phil has always been an
outstanding shooter and
scorer, but he has become
much more consistent at that
and especially · the other
phases of his,game," Bennett
praised. "He has worked
hard to become a good
rebounder and defensive
player for us."
Rodriguez is the top
Pointer scorer so far in the
1978-79 season averaging 14.!Tpoints a game. He has
converted an impressive .509
percent of his field goals and
.833 percent of his charity
tosses.
