A question of
attitude in office
!
f
An endorsement
by the editorial staff
;..-
Mayoral races rarely stir the imagination
of the public. In most comqmnities the size
of Stevens Point, the race for mayor's office
is seldom marked with heated debate or
controversial is!;iues. Candidates generally
run on experience instead of initiation, and
popularity rather than performance.
But while the question of leadership for
Stevens Point may not be one of issues, it is
certainly one of attitudes. And this is why
we endorse Common Council President
Mike Haberman for election on April3.
While both candidates have, in their
tenure in local government, displayed a
keen interest and obvious dedication to the
community, Jim Feigleson has
demdnstrated attitudes that Stevens Point
can no longer afford. Such attitudes are:
Toward the elected officials of Stevens
Point--Feigleson has consistently displayed
an inability to work effectively with the
Common Council Of Stevens Point. Besides
simply ridieuling many elected officials,
Feigleson has amassed a veto record
unparalleled in the history of his office. He
has further refused to put certain items on
the agenda for Common Council meetings.
Toward Mass Transit--Feigleson has been
traditionally opposed to mass transit in
Stevens Point. In the spring of 1978 he
opposed a federal grant which would have
picked up 80 percent of the tab for a new bus
system, proposing instead that local
government subsidize taxi service.
·He further ignored the majority wishes of
the Common Council and replaced Jim
Kellerman with Gib Zinda · pn the Transit
· Commission. Zinda promptly issued a
public statement that referred to the bus
service as "a loser" and endorsed Mayor
Jim's taxi proposal.
Toward Regional Planning--Feigleson
has opposed Stevens Point's membership in
the Northwest Regional Planning
Commission.
Toward what the Mayor's office should be
doing for the community--Feigleson's
attitude toward his office can best be
summed up by one of his own quotes: "It's
the mayor's job to get the bucks.''
Mayor Feigleson has indeed proved that
he can get the bucks. No matter what one
feels about him, one must agree that he has
displayed a sense of fiscal responsibility.
But t~is simply isn't enough. In a time of
existing and impending fuel shortages we
need a mayor who is able to see that the
value of mass transit goes far beyond the
fares collected at the door. We need a
mayor who can acknowledge the need for
community and regional planning. We
need a mayor who can weigh services as
well as spending instead of making the
dollar figure the bottom line.
Mike Haberman promises to be that kind
of mayor. In his four years -in office,
Haberman has served on every· major
Common Council s:ommittee and chaired
several of them. This, coupled with his
current status as Common Council
President, gives him the experience and
insight we feel necessary for the job.
The editorial staff of The Pointer urges
the student body of UWSP to vote on April3.
We must decide if Stevens Point is going to
progress or simply survive.

Randy Kokal ·
To the Pointer,
During the past several weeks
you have printed a number of
letters concerned with various
University policies and the
enforcement of these policies by
the R.A. 's. Jt is my belief that
controversy was started by a
letter written by a member of my
wing, 1-West Hansen. I
appreciate the difficulties an
R.A. encounters when trying to
enforce the rules he must in order
to keep his job. (Especially when
he is prone to break these very
rules on occasion). This letter
will not concern itself with this
argument, but rather will report
two events that occurred
recently. I hope this will show
how utterly frustrating and
aggravating it can be to live
under policies that are not
enforced equally - to live under
...3
a double standard.

To the Pointer,
I would just like to comment on
last week's article on the
weightlifting club. I think that the
author spent too much time
glorifying the club members and
barely touched on the point which
was initially intended. Bravo to

condition. You started out with
the right idea of selling liftfng as
a beneficial hobby but you ended
up giving people a distorted view
of the quality of the weightlifting
club. The club leaves something
to be desired. The supposedly
trained weight club supervisors
even with all their supposed
"victories in previous meets," do
not have the "necessary
techniques to train anyone" as
the past aricle stated. I am
curious as to the caliber of these
"former meets." I feel the weight
club needs a great deal of
program improvement. I don't
believe

membership has been caused by
students' stereotypic vi~w but
more likely a poor club program.
A great deal of thought input is
needed to improve the club.
Rather than concentrating on Tshirts, hats, and coats which can
be worn to prove your
weightlifting ability, let's see
some real improvement in the
club itself.

I had a pleasant surprise on

suggesting the university review
its enforcement policies as to
parking violations.
First of all, the university puts
an emphasis on protecting
yourself from rape. Therefore

solution to this problem is to

classrooms with little or no
danger involved.
There is free parking after 7
p.m. which seems rather
ridiculous since most night
classes begin at 6:30p.m. So for
lh hour of parking once a week a
person is expected to pay o.Jer
$25.00?
I also think five dollars is
rather expensive and by the
amount of tickets written out that
evening, the university made
quite a profit.

To the Pointer,
Last Monday night the UWSP
women's intramural basketball
season ended. The championship.
game was played in Berg gym
before a small audience. The
winners, by a 33-18 score, were a
group of women who called
themselves "The Basketcases."
The final game of this season
marked the completion of a 23
game winning streak for the
Basketcases. -The Basketcases
have won the women's basketball
championship for three year's
running. And for those people
who believe that going 23-o in a
women's league isn't all that
hard, just remember the Basketcases played against their peers,
just as the male intramural
teams play against their peers.
The three time champions have
chalked up wins with such scores
as 52-6, 48-4, and 59-2. The
Basketcases
were
not
exceptionally tall or skilled, but
_made up a championship team
because of teamwork and desire.
The Basketcases have proven
them&elves worthy of the title
"champions," and should be
recognized for their outstanding
performance over the years.
Members· of this year's team·
include Jackie Bremmer, Jane
Fitzgerald, Mary Peterson,

Larldlords ordered to return security deposits
-I
By Tom Eagon
Local tenants scored a
minor victory when Attorney
General Bronson C. La
Follette ordered the
landlords of twQ Stevens
Point apartment buildings to
return security deposits or
provide explanation for not
doing so.
Consent orders were filed
by La Follette last
Wednesday against James
W. Landowski and James R.
Derks of the Badger
Investment Realty Co.,
Milwaukee. The Company
owns the Oxford Apartments
at 740 Vincent Court.
A similar order was
brought against McClellen L.
Grinolds, of Glendale, WI,
owner of the McCellen
Apartments, 805 Prentice St.
The actions resulted from
complaints that went as far
back as 1977, filed on behalf
of 28 former tenants of the
apartment buildings which
also ·house · many UWSP
students, and the following
joint investigation by the
Portage County district
attorney's office and the state
Office of Consumer
Protection.
Jane Sadusky, Portage
County consumer fraud
investigator, said that rriost
-
of the tenants who
complained have already
received their deposits of $40at Oxford and $50 deposit at
McClellen. She added,
however, that this action
affects up to 100 other tenants
and
should
prevent
complaints in the future.
The landlords have 30 days
to follow the order or the
district attorney will begin
legal action against them,
Sadusky added.
However, a representative
of Badger Investment
Reality Co. stated. that they
have yet to receive a consent
order from the Attorney
General. Of the complaints
filed against them he added,
five of the people had
received a deposit refund
before they filed the
complaint. One more had the
refund lost in the mail. He
said the company has started
a counter suit against the five
for giving false information.
The
representative
claimed that the five, who
were students were merely
trying to collect their
deposits twice.
The
representative
admitted that there was a
problem at the Oxford Arms
saying, "There was a lack of
communication in the whole
set-up." He claimed that the

Sadusky said that since with the landlord, and a
there are no statutes
pertaining to security
deposits it is often hard to -take action against landlords.
However, the District
Attorney's office keeps a
record of all complaints
(which must be in writing) so
consumer mvestigators can
notice if any patterns are
forming with any one
landlord. Such was the case
with the · Oxford and
McClellen Apartments.
TheDA's office deals with
many facets of landlord
tenant relations, ranging •
careful reading of the
contract prior to signing. She
.suggested tenants ma-ke a
check list and go around the
apartment listing any
damage or unclean areas
(i.e. hole in sofa, carpeting,
walls or dirty oven,
refrigerator,
bathroom,
etc.). The list should be
complete even to the picky
details, she added.
If a tenant has a problem,
Sadusky said he should
write; phone calls are easily
forgotten. The landlord
should be contacted and, if
after 30 days satisfaction has
not been reached, the District
Attorney should be notified.

this possible.
On the recent rezoning of
several of the wards in town,
Kelley said, "This might well
make me unpopular among
the students, but as well as I
understand the ordinance .. .I
support it." He said that
landlords should not be
allowed to put students in
housing that is too small,
without adequate parking,
and unhealthy. He also stated'
that the new zoning
ordinance is as fair to the
students as it is to any of the
citizens.
Fighting for -the ward seats
Asbury Nix said that he has
lived in the first ward for the
past 18 years. Nix was
appointed by Mayor
Feigleson to chair the
Stevens Point Transit
·Commission and has also
served in the American
Legion and as Legislative
Officer of EX-POW's, Central
Wisconsin Chapter.
Nix said his purpose in
seeking the aldermanic
position is founded in the
principals of government of
the people, for the people and
by the people. He said the
reduction of taxes can only be
relieved by maximum
control of costs or reduction
of services. Nix also said that
each issue must be
considered from all aspects
to insure that programs
meet the needs of the
majority of the people-and
not spec!al i~terest groups.
In ward three James T.
Dunn, the incumbent, faces a
write-in candidate, Rolly
Haynes (see news article on
U-CAN). Dunn said he has
lived in ward three, which is
bounded by Reserve,
Jefferson, Franklin - ·and
Division Streets, (and houses
Neale and Hansen Halls) for
the past 25 years. Dunn has
served on the Common
Council for the past two years
during which time he served
on the Personnel and Public
Protection Committees.
Dunn said that he is
interested in finishing some
of the projects that have been
started during the last two
years. On the rezoning in
wards three and eight, Dunn
said that he felt the density in
these areas was too great for
the land use. He also said that
all rooming houses in the
area are grandfathered so
there should be ample
student off-student housing in
view of the projected decline
in enrollment.
Rollie Haynes said that he
has been involved in politics
for the past 20 years. He has
a background in business
and economics, and has
served as a voluntary
member
of
several
community boards.
Haynes said that people
all over the city have asked
him to seek the position as
alderman due to his ability
to stand up to the mayor.
Haynes criticized the
recent rezoning in wards
three and eight adding that
it has serious implications
for the · people who own
property in the ward,
students, renters and owner
occupants.
"With the rezoning,"
Haynes said, "the result is
that most of the lots in the
area are nonconforming."
Haynes added that the
rezoning has caused many
student rentals to be taken
off the market due to all the
hassles.

Holding on to our last chance
--Alaska lands: the greatest good for whom?
By Sue Jones
.
What can you do with 365
million acres? Acres that
include half of the nation's
lakes~ fivers that have never
been floated, glaciers, and
mountain · valleys never
explored by man.
This was one of the
questions raised in the film
"Age of Alaska" which began
Monday's
Alaskan
Wilderness controversy
discijssion sponsored by Xi
Sigma Pi. Scenes of
overwhelming beauty
coupled with views of
resource use in our
northernmost state gave an
overview of the vast
· resources Congress is
currently debating.
Jay Cravens was the first
faculty member to address
the topic. He . sketched the
history of current Alaskan
legislature in Congress.
Under the 1971 Alaska Native
Claims Act, Congress was
supposed to make a decision
by December 1978 on 100
million acres of Alaskan
Interest Lands earmarked
for inclusion in national
parks, wildlife refuges, wild
and scenic rivers, and
national forests. Protective
legislation was killed in the
closing days of the 95th
Congress last December.
To protect these lands until
Congress makes a final
decision, President Carter
invoked the 1906 Antiquities
Act, creating 15 national
monuments on 56 million
acres. Bills similar to those
introduced in the last session
were introduced in the 96th
session last January, and
they are already off to · a
controversial start. Alaskans
are upset with Carter's
action. They claim the new
monuments deny access to
their native corporations.
Environmental groups such
as the Alaska Wilderness
Coalition desire maximum
wilderness designation, while
the American Mining
Congress, oil, ~ndustry, and
timber interests claim their
access to lands is being
threatened. The role of the
resource manager, said
Cravens, is to pull together
alternatives and let the
public decide what should be
done.
Dr. Robert Englehard
briefly outlined Alaska's
economy and identified the
problems Congress faces in
land designation. Their three
main industries are
extractive
operations,
fisheries, and tourism.
Alaska's unemployment rate
ranges from 16 to 20 percent.
Major land designation
problems are resource use
conflicts, transportation and
access, and the Alaska
permanent fund, said
Engelhard.
Dr. Jack Heaton discussed
the role of national parks in
Alaska . The ~urrent
controversy is another
example
of
honest
conservation conflicts and
developers waiting in the
wings to exploit what
remains. Part of the problem
in the Park Service is that
land is acquired too late,

· Session focuses on· environmental
issues in tl)e small city
By Steve Schunk
On Friday, March 16,
Environment and Energy
was the subject of several
papers that were delivered as
part of the 2nd Annual
Conference on Small City and
Regional Communities. ·
These papers addressed a
number of specific issues that
have an ·effect on the small
city dwellers qmllity of life.
; The first paper delivered
dealt with the public's actual
opinion, and definition of
what quality of life is. Results
of numerous questionnaires
were explained. From this
feedback city planners are
given information as to how
· the people really would like to
have their habitat managed.
The next paper dealt'with
attitudes about recycling and
ways in which it is being
·carried out. Various polls
showed that the public ·is
willing and in most cases
eager to participate in
recycling, but must receive
enough information in order
forprogramstobeeffective.
· "A Method for Improved
Visual
Landscape
Compatibility of Mobile
Homes" was a paper that
pointed . out that it is
economically feasible to
implement developmental
planning to reduce negative
visual impact on areas
surrounding mobile home
courts.
Wildlife was pointed out as
being an important but
neglected part of small cities.
Types of habitat a city
supplies, such as concrete
covered ground, residential
areas and various green belts
were discussed. Acts such as
the draining of wetlands on
Michigan Avenue were also
brought up with dismay.
Energy conservation was a
topic discussed in a paper
that was actually a proposal
that more should be done to
make homes heat efficient. It
was prop<)sed that present
knowledge be combined with
intensive study and then be
put to the public so that
proper energy saving steps
could be taken.
There are many ways in
which environment and
energy are a part of small
cities. It is good to see that
work is being done and ideas
shared so that matters can be
dealt with before a healthy
quality of life is lost.

Aid. available
to help pay fuel bills
By Lynda Zukaitis
Wisconsin's recent harsh
winter has left many people
facing substantial fuel bills.
A federal grant of 6.2 million
has been received by
Wisconsin to aid th~ poor and
elderly to cope with their
energy problems.
To administer these
monies,
the
Crisis
Intervention Program (CIP)
began February 26.
According to Glenna Pierce,
Fuel Crisis Coordinator, CIP
provides payments directly
to fuel suppliers in amounts
up to $250 per eligible
household. An eligible
household is one which has
,received a shut-off or
disconnection notice and has
less than one week supply of
fuel on hand. In addition to
this, the household must have
been informed that it will
receive no further ,deliveries
or service until it pays.
Occupants must also fall
within nationally established
low income guidelines.
Low income guidelines
vary according to the number
of occupants per household. A
household consisting of only
one member is allowed an
annual income of $3925; for
two, $5200; for three, $6475;
for four, -$7750. For each
additional family member
$1275 can be added. In
addition to the income
guidelines, each household of
one can have no more than
$3000 in cash assets and a
household of more than one
person is allowed no more
than $5000 in cash assets.
This is designed to allow the
elderly to receive assistance
without going bankrupt.
Applicants believing they
meet these criteria are urged
to bring proof of income
along with a disconnection or
shut-off notice to the Fuel
Crisis Center at 933A Main
St., room 16. The Center can

insect problems
By John Faley
Saint Patrick we are told,
drove the snakes from the
Emerald Isle. Today
scientists and agriculturists
are after the same effect, but
instead of snakes, they are
after problem insects and
disease.
A group of scientists,
farmers and concerned
citizens gathered in Stevens
Point last Saturday for a
conference to discuss how
best to approach the problem
today.
After opening remarks by
Daniel 0. Trainer, Dean of
the College of Natural
Resources, Charles Koval,
Professor and Extension
Entomologist, UW-Madison
spoke on trends in insect
problems.
Koval stated insects are
generally categorized with
respect to their relationship
to man as beneficial, neutral,
or
harmful.
These
classifications change as
society's values change.
He said there are presently
150 species which .are
constant insect problems,
four or five hundred which
are sporadic pest problems,
and 6,000 which are seldom,
though occasionally pest
problems.
Insect problems have
increased in recent years,
said Koval. Several of the
reasons are man related. Due
to more efficient means of
transportation, man can
unknowingly transport
problem insects around the
world in a matter of hours.
Coupled with the facts that
they are usually transported
without their natural enemies
and often end up in a
monoculture <one crop)
system, their populations can
·
increase dramatically.
Koval cited the example of
the Colorado Potato Beetle. It
once fed on sand burrs, but as
the potato industry entered
the beetle's 'territory the
beetles found a new, very
palatable food source. The
beetles are now feeding on
potato plants throughout
much of the United States
andEurope.
·
Dave Curwen, Professor of
Horticulture,
Hanc-ock
Experimental Station, said
there are alternatives to
insecticide application, yet
he felt pesticides are needed
for economic growth.
Curwen slated that
objectives of insecticide
application are to realize
yield and quality of potential
crops with the minimum
amount of pesticides and the
minimum amount of cost.
Don Russell, an organic
farmer from Jan~sville,
thinks "bugs" are nature's
"clean-up crew" and attack
only unhealthy plants. A
healthy plant is not affected
by "bugs," "it's a law of
nature," he said. .
John Wedberg, Extension
Entomologist, UW-Madison
reported Integrated Insect
Management is a system that
utilizes all suitable pest
control techniques and
methods to keep pest
populations
below
economically · injurious
levels.

. . . housing is the question
Can't wait to move off
campus? You might want to,
at least long enough to
seriously consider the
question, "Is it to my best
advantage to move?" While
_you may be saying to
yourself, "I served my two
year stint in this joint, I'm
movin' out," don't take it for
granted that off-campus
living is going to be any
different (or at most, better)
than living in a residence
hall.
Of course off-campus living
may fill all your wildest, or at
least, modest dreams. Living.
in the halls can be a hassle, to
say the least, and the peace
and quiet off campus housing
portends to provide is truly a
fine alternative. But first,
decide what you really want,
and what you'll get from your
student housing, where 'er it
maybe.
Peace and Quiet. Was it
ever possible in the hall?
Maybe that weekend when
everyone else on your wing
went home for vacation, but
otherwise there alw.a ys
seemed to be some joker
playing ELO at full volume
on the stereo, or imitating
Steve Martin for the 1,580
time. Off campus you might
contend with 0, 2, 6, or the
"revert to the hall" 22
housemates. Most of the
time, you can at least pick
your roomies, so noise
control is a bit easier off
campus.
,
Partying! The rudest of
violations to your new found
freedom can be the off
campus party that goes
beyond reason or control at
3:30a.m. Where to escape to
when need be? In the halls,
the parties are definitely
more sedate and there is a
better opportunity for self
removal if desired. And who
cleans up the mess?
Visitation. The only
difference is this: off campus
you don't have to sneak out
after2a.m.
Location. Residence halls
have it hands down on
convenience to campus. The
only thing you have to park
when going to class is your
butt, everyone else either
comes at 6 a.m. for a parking
space, or patrols the streets
in a seven block radius for a
space. And you think it was
cold walking to your hall in
February, try walking even 2
miles into the wind. The LRC,
Phy Ed building, University
Centers are all 5-10 minutes
away from the halls; a wee
bit different than 20-60
minutes when you're off
campus.
Privacy and Security.
~pply "peace and quiet" and
multiply that by the number
of co-dwellers in your abode
determines your privacy
rating. As for security, the
·halls are plus and minus;
you've got someone watching
who comes in your hall, but
you don't always know who it
is. Ditto off campus, though
it's easier to ask "Who are
you?" (whenyou'rehome) .
Cost. You get what you pay
for. If you pay a lot, you get a
lot; if you want to pay a little
you share with the
neighbors.
Off-campus
housing is expensive.
Food. The more folks
buying, the cheaper it is ...
and you can't eat anywhere
else for $3.00 a day but in the
halls. It's really a deal
considering, and the food
really isn't that bad, is it? Off
campus you're on your own,
no stealing food from
someone else's cupboard, it's
your eats or nobody's ~ats.
Accommodations. If you
like bolted furniture and one
window, you're fine in the
hall. If · you like old musty
furniture and dirty windows,
you're fine off campus. And
what's the neighborhood
the halls: R.A.'s, communal
bathrooms, 3 a.m. fire
alarms.
Points for off-campus:
"freedom", neighborly
neighbors, choice of food,
more quiet, own .hours,
against: landlords and
security deposits (see article
in
News
Section),
questionable
conditions,
parking.
All in all, it's a matter of
personal choice and
preference (isn't it always?)
where one goes to live (in
their junior or senior year).
New zoning laws continue
to make the off campus
housing market a tight one.
New administrative rules
discourage
spontaneous
activities in the halls. The
arguments for on or offcampus housing could
continue here all the way to
the Back Page.
It should be noted that with
enrollments projected to
decline in the future, stronger
efforts to either keep students .
in the halls or get them into
rental properties will occur.
If you're in a hall now, you've
got some pretty good
leverage for changes in the
halls and their policies. The
university needs you to reside
in the hall to pay off its
building debts and hold down
costs to other students. Let
them know what will attract
students to the halls and
retain them there.
Soon it will be your chance
to decide where to live during
the next semester of your
academic career. Talk to
your off-campus friends or
on-campus seniors for advice
and ideas. Make certain that
your choice is the best one to
meet your needs and desires.
Health Thought For Break:
You worked hard ·for this
Points for the halls: vacation, let your body enjoy
proximity, camaraderie, it, too. Take the time to look
R.A. 's, laundry service, at the sky and watch the
academic resources, against stars, and learn to play.

AND
ASK UNCLE BOB
Good afternoon, and welcome once again to
Ask Uncle Bob, the column that answers the
musical question, "how can such an incredibly
talented young man waste his life writing drivel
for a small college newspaper?"
Since the notice that this column would be
making a comeback appeared several weeks
ago, I've been absolutely uninundated with mail,
and have personally reviewed well under a
thousand letters. The most commonly asked
question was a very personal one. I can't repeat
the question, but the answer is, "all night,
stopping once or twice to eat some high-protein
food.''
A copy of The Bicycle Seat Cookbook and
$10,000.00 in invisible U.S. Savings Bonds goes to
Zukes, Dirt, Gary, Noodles, Zelda, Jeff, Jackie,
Droxanne, Jane and Tom, Grumpy, Sleazy,
Hugh Hefner, and everybody else who sent in
questions.
Q: Where does the white go when the snow
melts?
'
A: An answer to this question was first
attempted by Sir Dwight Bent, a part-time
shepherd and minor Romantic poet of absolutely
no importance. Quoth Dwight:
Who knows where it goes
When the sun melts the snows,
This color as pale
As the ghost of a rose.
Does it sweater the sheep
Asleep in the hills?
Does it dapple the shoulders
of lovely young girls?
Does it slip down their blouses?
Does it get to first base?
Does it pant, does it groan,
Does it promise them anything
For a couple of feels?
Sir Dwight, whose career faded into oblivion
near the end of the 18th century, had an
uncontrollable sexual appetite, and was known
as somewhat of a hoe. (This was before rakes).
In 1810 he tried to inscribe a series of couplets
on the Queen's leg, and the outraged authorities
threw him and his sheep out of England.
Which brings us back to the original question
- where the hell does the white go when the
snow melts? The answer is, it doesn't go
anywhere, because it wasn't there in the first
place. According to scientists, all color is an
optical illusion - a disheartening thought,
particularly if you've just invested in a set of two
hundred Christmas tree lights. It's a lousy thing,
but what can you do?
Q: Whatarephobias?
A: Phobias are exaggerated and usually
inexplicable or illogical fears. The term is
named after Phobius, a citizen of ancient Greece
who was afraid of everything except horses.
The finest physicians of the day worked with him
for over twenty years until, on his 35th birthday,
he was miraculously cured. Unfortunately, on
his way to a party, he stepped in front of a
chariot and was trampled by a horse.
Back in Phobius' time, the world was small,
and there were only a few hundred things to be
afraid of. Today, thanks to our highly advanced
level of culture, there are over 361,000

Uncle Bob, cont'd
identifiable phobias, and new ones are popping
up daily. Here is a list of some of the more
common ones.
Boogyrophobia. Fear that something green
and disgusting is hanging from your nose at all
times.
Misqueuephobia. Fear that you won't have
enough money to pay for the groceries the
check-out girl is adding up. <The more people
there are in line behind you, the more intense the
fear becomes).
Nostalgiophobia. Fear that your mother will
tell your friends stories about all the "cute"
. things you did before you were potty-trained.
Septicaphobia. Fear that something revolting
or illegal that you've flushed down the toilet will
resurface and be traced back to you.
Vegamataphobia. Fear that blades will come
off your electric fan during the night and turn
you and everything in your room into cole slaw.
Fuhrerphobia. Fear that your new boyfriend
is a Hitler clone.
Q: WhatwastheStoneAge?
A: The Stone Age, or Pretentious Period, was
a geological sequence of time falling somewhere
between the first handcaxe and the invention of
power tools.
The dominant species of the day was
Neanderthal Man, a creature so excruciatingly
ugly that a perfectly preserved specimen dug up
in South Africa was immediately reburied, and
never mentioned again.
During The Stone Age, mankind developed an
impressive and varied inventory of stone tools,
including scrapers, grinders, awls, and several
types of blackhead removers.
The Stone Age covered an almost unbearably
long period of time, and to while away the aeons,
Neanderthal Men developed a game in which
they would take turns swatting each other over
the head with large wooden clubs. Scientists
believ.e that this game led to the development
of the macho ethic as we know it today.

All-Campus foosball tournament April 5th
Foosball: Getting popular and competitive
ByLwP~ri
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~student
It all started simple
enough. A miniature model of
a soccer field that can be
manipulated with the hands,
was introduced.
Eventually the game
evolved. It was constructed
nicer, there was better
balance in.the game, even the
miniature players had smiles
on their faces. More game
strategies came into play.
Slick offensive moves and
tough defense became
trademarks of the game and
eventually the game became
so popular that the craze
reached the United States.
The game of table soccer,
commonly referred to as
foosball, has reached
amazing
heights
in
popularity in the United

intramural basketball proyides winter relief
By Frank Genovese
Back in 1891 an 18 man phyed class was introduced to the
game of basketball to
alleviate indoor boredom,
. during the winter month of
December.
The students replied with
complete acceptance to the
game that was to provide a
monotonous relief to
calisthenics and gymnastics.
You must remember that in
thosedays the..m.ajor interest
in sports lay_ pri~arily .w~th
football, and when wmter
rolled around things got
boring.
Fortunately there was a 30.
year-old instructor of the
international YMCA in
Springfield, Massachusetts,
named James Naismith.
Naismith ingeniously
invented the game of
basketball. Little did he know
when he set up two peach
bushel baskets perched about
12 to 14 feet in the air, that the
game of basketball was to
commence,
and
its
popularity w_as to sky rocket.
Without this great
beginning, many people
wouldn't be able to enjoy the
indoor winter excitement of

hitting 55 footers, or sinking

ISU and Michigan St. favored--
NCAA final four await tough challenge
By Leo Pieri
Every year college
basketball· offers fans many
thrilling, exciting games.
Inevitably, the highlight of
the college basketball season
revolves around the final four
teams in the NCAA
basketball tournament.
It's similar to the World
Series or the Super Bowl, but
it's on a college level, and
money has no pull. Granted
the educational institutions
will bring in money and
prestige with all the national
media coverage, but the
players are still on an
amateur level.
Pennsylvania, Michigan
. State, Indiana State and De
Paul compose the "final
four" teams in the NCAA
Tournament for 1979, and
they'll fight like mad to win
the most coveted award in
college basketball, the NCAA
championship.
All four teams have a good
shot at the title, and anything
can happen in the pressurepacked finals to be held in
Salt Lake City, Utah. The
Mormons will be up in arms
for the event, and it should be
one. of the finest fournament
finals in years.
The University
Qf
Pennsylvania (25-5) is
probably the most surprising
team to make the finals.
Coming out of the East
regionals where Duke and
North Carolina were the
favorites, Penn's
aggressiveness and tough
play led by Tony Price
showed its worthiness of
making the finals. Penn beat
a scrapy St. Johns team to
capture the East regional and
a spot in the "final four."
Pennsylvania has a
difficult assignment in its
match against the "Magic_
Show" of Michigan State (24· 6) on.Mar. 24th. The Spartans
led by "Magic" Ervin
Johnson and his side kicks,
will pit their equally
aggressive play against
Penn. The 6-8 Johnson's
magical passes to power
scoring Gregory Keiser will
have to be stopped if Penn is
to have any shot at a
championship game. The
Spartans shot their way
through a tough MidEast
Regional which included a
sound thrashing of highly
rated Notre Dame, to earn a
finals spot. Penn will be the
underdog against the flashy
Spartans.
De Paul University (25-4)
came out of the West
Regionals to secure a
welcome shot at a national
championship. De Paul beat
quality ranked teams in
UCLA and Marquette 'to earn
the semifinals birth.
·
De Paul has the unenviable
task of trying to contain the
number one player and team
in the tlation. Indiana State
led by 6'9" College Player of
the Year, Larry Bird, is now

To the Pointer,
The party is over, the fun has
passed and the work has begun.
Looking back I have to say
cautiously that yes, it was fun
and I enjoyed myself. But OH!
what a hangover I got from that
party. Actually I drank but little,
compared to others. I sipped
while they guzzled, never able to
satiate their thirst for more. I
agree it's nice to hang one on now
and then, it tends to remove some
of the rough edges from life. But
again, some people were just too
indulgent, they became so
dependent, so intoxicated that
they lost their ability to focus
clearly on what was happening.
The sacred libation had
gradually, almost imperceptibly
increased its strangehold on the
people. It had begun as a
"servant of the people" but near
the end of the party it was more
like the ''Master of the people.''
My head is pounding and I feel
so nauseous. The floor is sticky,
refuse lies scattered about the
room . The smoke hangs
motionless in the air. Cold food sits on the table, only a few
disinterested bites were taken.
Sooner or later every party
draws to a close. Mter all, no one
can party forever, even though
some foolishly think they can.
The magic effect of the addictive
elixir, which forced us to
consume more and more is
slowly losing its power. Yes, the
party's over.
