---Cites saftey problems
·Haberman concerned with Square problem
By Bill Reinhard
Mayor Michael Haberman
expressed concern over the
current hazards surrounding
the square in a speech given
in the Coffeehouse of the
University Center, Tuesday
night. The speech, referred tc:>
as his "State of the Union"
address, was sponsored by
the Public Administration
Student Organization.
Although a certain amount
of problems have existed in
the square area in the past,
Haberman contended that
the· situation has become
worse as of late. His worries
centered around the safety
factors. "Our number one
problem," he said, "is the
safety of the students."
Haberman believes that
the lowering of the drinking
age
was
indirectly
responsible for the problem.
However, many factors have
contributed to its becoming
an increasing hazard. A
primary one was the fact that
the square area has become
the regi9nal "hot spot."
Young people· are flocking
Mayor Michael
Baberman
there from around the area in
greater numbers than has
previously been the case. "If
I were a kid," Haberman
added, "I'd be there too."
Many options are being
taken into consideration by
the city in order to deal with
the probl.em. "1, for one, am
not all that excited over
North Second Street, or
whether we have to close it
three or four times a year,"
he said,. "I am, however,
concerned about safety."
Haberman advised the
university community to
become interested in the
situation at the public square.
"It's something we'll all have
to work out together," he
said. "It's kind of a nifty
place to go and I'd like to
keep it open."
Haberman designated the
city's waste disposal problem
as the first major crisis of his
15o-day-okt administration.
Soon after Haberman was
elected in April, problems
with Mid State Landfill were
unearthed by both the
Department of Natural
Resources and his office.
"We found Mid State Landfill
was appalling," he said.
Since the numerous
ecological and general
procedural problems were
discovered at the site, · the
Mid State company has gone
out of the landfill business.
This situation has put
Stevens Point and Mayor
Haberman into a struggle to
find an alternative.
Currently, the city is
disposing its wastes at a
Wausau location, but it has
been made clear that this is
temporary. The city will have
to find another place for its
garbage by January of 1980.
No clea·r cut answer has
been found to rectify this
situation,
although
Haberman does hope to have
a Portage county site by next
summer. The added cost
obviously will be shouldered
by the taxpayer.
The rerouting plans for
Highway 10 were discussed at
some length by the mayor.
He maintained that, although
the highway's rerouting was
necessary for the continued
life of the downtown, it is by
no means a panacea .
"Indeed," he said, "we may
be too late. I sure hope not."
As an avid promoter of the
downtown business district,
Haberman is quite pleased
with the city council's
decision for rerouting. _ He
prai~ed the process of public
input that was involved. Yet
he cautioned, "It is only a
first step. It only gives us a
...
chance."
Haberman had some good
words for the ec'bnomic
outlook of Stevens Point. He called the city's economy
"strong and growing," and
listed many of its promising
features. Yet the mayor ·
made it clear that any future
growth must be prudent-. "I
think it's important for the
city to grow," he said. "I also
think that this growth should
be planned."
The university. was also the
subject of some kind words
from the mayor. He
complimented the school's
many educational · and
cultural benefits. Haberman
·is not happy with the ·rift that
often materializes between
the university and the city,
blaming it on mutual
distrust. "The university is,"
he said, "an integral part of
our community."

Series, sponsored by the
Black Student Coalition on
September 25, at 8 p.m. in-the

Wrone's talk will center on
the events surrounding the
assassination of Martin
Luther King. The title of the
talk is "Murder of the Black
Messiah."
Dr. Wrone is a respected
authority
on
the
assassinations of both King
and the late President John
F. Kennedy, and has edited
and published books such as

There is continuing interest
in new evidence which is
presented regularly to the

Wrone is currently working
on a new book which will

belief is that both Lee Harvey
Oswald and the Ray family
were "framed" by evidence
not fully investigated or
evaluated. Oswald and
James Earl Ray are thought
by many persons to have
been the assassins of John F.
Kennedy and Martin Luther
King.
Dr. Wrone's interest was
piqued by the fact that some
so-called _ "information"
presented did not "square"
with what was being said. He
offers simple points · to
evaluate assassination books,
of which there are many. For
example be wary of forced
and false connections, check
common assertions of facts,
note the tricky device known
as the fallacy of the isolated
fact, beware of the use of
"devils", and be certain the
facts fit.

Energy awareness weeks initiated
By Steve Schunk
Energy Conservation is a
topic that constantly imposes
itself on our lives. We hear
and see reminders of its
presence and importance
each day. The question is,
"What are we actually doing
on a daily lifestyle basis to
. confront the very real need to
conserve energy?" There is
certainly much more we can
be doing. Our lifestyles can
encompass a deeper and
more active awareness of
this pressing issue. Student
Life at UWSP is now offering
incentives and educational
opportunities along the lines
of responsible and informed
energy use.
Last year,
Janice
Pritchard, administrative
assistant at Student Life,
initiated a poster contest as
the first step in a series to
initiate
an
Energy
. Conservation and Awareness
Program. This first step
served to inform students
that there was a program in
the offing, and also gathered
ideas for posters that will be
used in the program. These
posters will inform students
of coming events, speakers,
and energy saving ideas. In

Canoeing for cfedi t
By John Faley
A perplexing problem
facing many -College of
Natural Resources (CNR)
students is what to do before
or after attending the CNR
summer camp near Clam
Lake, Wisconsin.
Two CNR students, Tom
Gering, a · Fisheries
Managemen~ major and Kurt .
Ziebell, a Resource
Management major-Environmental Education minor
were thinking just that, one
evening last November. They
tossed around several ideas
before finally hitting upon the
bigone.
.
How about canoeing the
Wisconsin River? Yeah, the
whole thing- all430 miles.
The following day they
went to see if they could get
backing from the university.
Dr. Richard Geesey,
Assistant Professor of Forest
Re<!reation of the CNR
decided to work with the two
young men. They would
canoe the Wisconsin River,
and for · independent study
credits they would write a
critique of both the Wisconsin
as a canoeing river and the
quality of its portages.
Gering and Ziebell
remained busy throughout
the winter and spring in
preparation for their
.est,mated "35 day trip. They
searched diligently for funds
and were granted :ji200 for
food from Dr. Gibb, Director
of the Alumni Association.
Richard Boutelle of the
Learning Resources Center
also awarded Gering and
Ziebell a $100 grant, allowed
them use of photographic
equipment, gave them film,
and has since processed it.
Hunter's Corner also donated
equipment.
. The spring semester ended
and they were off to Clam
Lake, the perfect primer for
their scheduled month-plus
river trip.
While attending summer
camp, Gering and Ziebell
were generally afield from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday, studying the
intricate natural systems of
northern
Wisconsin.
Forestry, water, soils, fish,
and wildlife - a wide array of
natural resources were
studied.
Evenings and weekends
too, were spent in mosquito,
tick, and "no-see-urn"
infested habitat. They
quickly became acclimated
to the conditions they would
be subject to - for the
remainder of the summer.
Then on Friday, July 6 -suppertime for most families
- Gering and Ziebell, aided
by an equipment-ladened,
seventeen-foot, square-stern,
standard hull canoe, stroked
the first of many strokes
from Lake Lac Vieux Desert,
the origin @f the Wisconsin
River, located in Vilas
County near the WisconsinMichigan border.
They traveled the length of
the river with a six-day
stopover in Stevens Point,
and term ina ted their trip on
July 29 at Wyalusing State
Park at the Wisconsin and
Mississippi
River's
confluence. Only 18 days to
canoe the 430 miles.
This July excursion will
result in more than deep tans,
toned muscles, pleasant
memories, and academic
credit. In fact, it will affect
people who have never seen
the Wisconsin River, or a
canoe for that matter.
Gering and Ziebell are
presently working with.Mary
Croft of the Writing Lab in
putting together written
material, and with Richard
Boutelle in the preparation of
a slide presentation. Dr.
Geesey would also like the
pair to write several
magazine articles, and the
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission <FERC) wants a
report on water quality and
warnings around the dams.
The FERC also wanted them
to note how far downstream
-430 miles on the Wisconsin River
Gering and Ziebell on the Wisconsin
from the dams people were
building in case there ever is
a need for an emergency
evacuation.
They are working also with
"Wisconsin Trails" in
preparation of a canoeing
guide for the northern
section of the river, which
begins north of the dam at
Lake DuBay between Stevens
Point and Wausau.
They also hope to put a
copy of the slide show on
reserve at the LRC next
semester, as well as several
into the Inter-Library Loan
System.
Paddling was just the
beginning of their adventure,
and with a stroke of luck,
many will benefit from the
efforts of Tom Gering and
Kurt Ziebell.

Battered women .
an American family
By Kitty T. Cayo
- On January 2, 1979, Rita
Felton, of Stevens Point shot
-her husband with a .22 caliber
single-shot rifle while he lay
sleeping in their south side
home. Robert Felton was a
patient of Wausau North
hospital until he died on Jan.
15, 1979 from a gun-shot
· wound to the head.
On Aug. 29, 1979, Rita
Felton appeared in court for
the beginning of her jury trial
that was to last four days.
The defense, headed by State
Public Defender James
Jacobi, portrayed Ms. Felton
as the classic battered wife,
who acted only "to prevent
her death and that of her
children." The Portage
· County
D.A.,
Fred
Fleishauer set out to find her
guilty of first degree murder.
For four days, the iury of
five men and seven women
listened to a historical
account of Rita and Robert
Felton's 23-year marriage.
Among those· testifying were
former neighbors of the
Feltons, former policemen
who had investigated reports
of domestic violence,
children of Ms. Felton, a
psychiatrist, and a clinical
psychologist
whose
specialties included women
and domestic violence.
Ms. Felton testified that
her husband first began to
physically abuse her after six
months of marriage. The first
beating occurred, she stated,
after her husband called her
at the home of a friend where
she w~s attending a baby
shower'. He demanded that
she come home immediately.
Ms. Felton returned home tofind her husband in a jealous
rage. He beat her with his
fists, insisting that she had
been in the company of other
men and had been unfaithful
to him. After that Ms. Felton
said she riever went
anywhere
. unless
accompanied by her
husband.
Ms. Felton's testimony
relayed several other
incidents of violence
committed by Robert Felton
during their marriage. She
said she suffered broken ribs
after one attack. Another
time, she claimed her
husband came home in a
state of paranoia, .stating
"someone was out to get
him," and placed guns all
over the house. He ordered
his wife into the bedroom and
told her to take her clothes
off. He then entered the room
and proceeded to threaten
her, armed with a lit blow
torch. At one point during the
trial, Defense Attorney

·--.-Highway 10 reloca~on and redevelopeme~
Fighting to save the
By Greg Polachek
While many cities have
developed malls on city
outskirts, the cities of
Sheboygan, Wisconsin
Rapids, Green Bay and
Madison have redeveloped
their downtown areas. In
following these cities, the city
of Stevens Point has made a
final commitment to improve
its central business district.
Last May, one of the first
actions of newly-elected
Mayor Haberman was the
- establishment of the
Downtown Action Committee
<DAC). Its main objectives
are to preserve the downtown
as the prime retail and
financial center of the city_
and it is responsihle for
developing an overall
program which will
encourage growth in retail
trade.
In reflecting on the work
that DAC has done this past
summer, Mayor Haberman
said, "I formed the
Downtown Action Committee
to try to get things done - .
and boy they've done it!" The
committee, the seventh of its
kind in the last seven years,
is · h~aded by George
Seyfarth, and according to
the Mayor its membership
"is more diversified than any
other downtown group," with
23 members representing
concerned citizens, League of
Women Voters, investors,
• retailers, 'aldermen and
university people.
Faced with the task of
drafting an . impJ:'ovement
program, DAC held public
forums last spring to gather
existing opinions and ideas on
redevelopment.
Public
support was overwhelmingand Seyfarth noted that :
"Ouf of these community
idea forums came a
consensus of what we wanted
to do in the downtown."
Most citizens agreed that
the major problem hindering
redevelopment was the
present location of Highway
10, or Main Street. The lack of
an altern~tive route brings
heavy truck traffic through
the downtown and traffic
congestion, . along with
parking problems. This
results in Main Street being a
hazardous area for both
shoppers and pedestrians.
The highway would have to
be rerouted.
An issue ·that has been
debated for .16 years, the
relocation was finally
approved by a 12-1 vote by the
Stevens Point Common
Council on Monday, August
· 'Zl. Its approval came after
one of the most intensive
growths in public support for
any.project in Stevens Point's
history.
Mter the public forums, the
DAC made it known to the
Mayor and Council that its
first recommendation would
be to relocate the highway.
The mayor in turn asked for
public input and responses
overwhelmingly favored the
project. Petitions circulated
by the League of Women.
Voters collected 3,214
endorsements and letters
received by the Mayor were
95 percent in favor of the
rerouting. The project had
the support of nearly every
retailer in the downtown as
well, and the Downtown
Business Association had
unanimous votes -supporting
the relocation.
Of the Council action, Roy
Menzel, a committee
member said, "This is

generations. " Patricia Stade

businesses. Stade added,
"Malls serve mainly younger
families on the outskirts,"
and she was concerned that
rising transportation costs
for travel to a possible mall
. on the city's edge would
affect elderly people's
independence.
The possibility of a mall
develop~ent on the 'city's
east side threatened the
relocation effort. A Cleveland
based mall development firm
that has built and currently
operates 20 malls in the
eastern United States, had
proposed until last week the
development of an east side
mall in the town of Hull at the
Highway 66-51 interchange.
Because Of poor soil
conditions, the mall site
would require an extensiofi of
city ser¥ices and the city
would annex the site to help
offset the -cost of extending
services.
Attorney Marc Hilton, in
representing the firm Jacobs,
Visconsi and Jacobs, said
possibility .of a mall in
Plover." Mter -it became
apparent that the proposal
might be tabled, Mayor
Haberman observed that
"political facts change," and
"if they would have come
three months ago - they
would have won." While the
vote (on August 27) doesn't
guarantee redevelopment, it
has, according to the Mayor,
"politically carried with it in
the minds of the aldermen, to
look
at
downtown
revitalization."
Although the Mayor's call
for public response had some
dissenting . viewpoints,
nonsupporters were not
concerned as much with
whether or not the highway
should be relocated as they
were with where it should be ·
relocated. Leo Wergin,
Secretary . Treasurer. of the
Portage County Central
Labor Council, AFL-CIO,
stated, ''We're . not against
relocation, per se, but this
project will affect the
property owner and property
taxes."
, Wergin and the Labor
Council proposed that Clark
Street, which carr-ies oneway traffic east through the
city, be widened into a twoway street to handle the truck
traffic. In a . letter to ·.the
Mayor, wbich is documented

> •
onbled dOwntown 'area
in the Downtown Action
Committee's public report on
the r~location effort, Wergin
said, "It would appear to our
group that a prime concern of
the people of this area is the
movement of the h,eavy
trucking through the
downtown area and the need
of another bridge across the
Wisconsin River." But as
, Roy Menzel noted, the
·proposed route involves the
"least tearing up of buildings
·and displacing of homes and
businesses."
The n~w route begins at the
corner of Main and Division
Streets and runs west for one
block until the Rogers Street
intersection, where it
proceeds diagonally to the
corner of Smith Street and
College Avenue. From that
point the highway moves
\\'est between CoQege Avenue
and Briggs Street until the
intersection at Briggs and
Third Streets. Then the road
proceeds west on Briggs
Street until it interacts at
Fir~t Street, wher~ it turns
south and ties into the Clark
Street Bridge. . There were others besides
the Labor Council who
disagreed with the route.
Alderm~n Ashbury Nix, who
had hoped the highway would
follow Briggs Street instead
of moving between lkiggs"
and College on city-owned
lots, was quoted as saying he
was "one-half for and onehalf against the project."

Secretary also spoke to the
Action Committee this
summer and informed
members
of
the
Department's plans and
methods in reviewing the
project.
Wergin, in calling for a
second bridge, said that,
"We're using the common
sense approach." But
Planner William Burke said,·
"We have not detected a
strong interest for such a
bridge. It doesn't s.eem to be
in the forefront of most
people's minds." However,
.the Plamier acknowledged
that, "That type of route.kills
two birds with one stone,"
but, "such a bridge wouldn't
be in place until1990 because
it wouldn't be needed until
then." He added, "I would
stress that it's time to start
talking about it, since it takes
that long to accomplish a
project of that magnitude."
The mayor, when asked
whether the rerouting will .
hinder the placing of a new
bridge south of the existing ·
one, said, "No. The major
question is, how does this
project dov~tail together?
There are really three to four
separate projects in one
area." He referred to the
Wisconsin Street sewer .
project, the Market Square,
and the riverfront project,
and stated, "For a million
less, we could do just the
sewer."
Wergin also questioned the
project's
financial
justification in that, "It takes
money to run city
government, and if you tie it
up in one area then other
governmental areas would be
affected."
Alderman
Kaczmarek, who · cast the
only dissenting vote, worried
about the financial end as
well. "Last year, without any
bond issue, we had to raise
taxes," he said. He went on to
state that "Shopping centers
never imposed on the
taxpayers," and, "With
inflation and garbage, this
project doesn't have
priority." Referring to the
city's recent landfill
problems, Kaczmarek added,
"We may have a beautiful
highway but we'll be stuck
with garbage in our
backyard!" .
Mayor
Haberman noted that
finances could hurt the
redevelopment effort, but he
was confident that the
highway project would
stimulate some type of
revitalization. The mayor
said that the city will be
responsible for utilities,
sidewalks and roads, and
emphasized that "No city
dollars will be spent
revitalizing
existing
buildings, but .government
may be a vehicle for land
acquisition." In discussing
finances, the mayor pointed
out that the establishment of
a Tax Incremental Finance
(TIF) District should help to
offset some of the city's
expenses, because the
additional taxes generated
from redevelopment are used
to pay for improvements in
the district. The mayor also
said, "To me, the Tax
Incremental Finance District
is an acceptable method of
raising funds for the city's
share, in~cl uding the
highway." He added that
"three · major retailers o;
investment groups" are
willing to build in the
downtown and, "two of the
three are holding back for tlie
development of a TIF
District."

Jazz-rock fusion is not for
everyone. But jazz-rock is a
rapidly growing area of
music and is becoming
increasingly popular. In its
· purest form, fusion attempts
to combine the complexities
of jazz and the harder, more
accessible, edge of rock.
With three albums to its
name, Sweet Bottom, a fusion
band from Milwaukee, has
been one of the more notable
and commercially successful
groups to emerge.
Nexus, another Milwaukee
band, is also becoming
another major name in
fusion. But this quartet comprised of keyboards,
guitar, bass, and drums- is
definitely more high-energy
and rock-oriented.
Sunday night was not the
, first time Nexus appeared in
the Program B~nquet Room
for a Club 1015 concert. The
group appeared in Stevens
Point two years ago also in
the Program Banquet Room.
In this performance,
however, their rna terial was
much more polished and
varied than in past
performances, ranging from
the more laid back style of
the Pat Metheny Group, to
the more rock-oriented ways
of Golosseum II.
Nexus played their
complex, yet appealing,
compositions for an amazing
3lf2 hours; long not only by the
group's standards, but in
terms of the audience as well.
Fusion is definitely not
dance music, but because of
its nature, it is very tiring to
the mind and the senses. Club
1015 was no ~xception, as
only 30 die-hards were left out
pf the modestly large crowd
that had attended earlier in
the evening.
Granted, jazz-rock fusion is
not for everyone, but for
thoS'e who enjoy it, Nexus is
going to be one of the best
you '11
hear.
Their
musicianship was well
showcased with each .of the
four members ' getting a
substantial amount of
showtime throughout the
night, and their material was
solid and very creative.
Those who passed on Nexus
at Club 1015 last Sunda:y
missed out on a very
professional sounding group.
However, Nexus will be
appearing at The Bar on
October 5. If you couldn't
make the first time, or you
want to make sure they're for
real, check out this unique
group. For lovers _of fusion
they are recommerded.

P0inters overwhelm Warhawks
By Shannon -Houlihan
The UWSP women's field
hockey team used a second- ,
half surge to overwhelm UWWhitewater 6-0 in the
Pointer's home opener
Friday. The Pointers scored
all six goals in the second
half, after a scoreless first
half in which the Pointers
outshot Whitewater 23-8.
Coach Nancy Page's words
at half-time proved to be
prophetic as ''one goal leads
to another" became the
. motto for the Pointers in the
second half. Moments into
the second period, left-winger
Julie Hammer · scored the
first of her three goals on a
pass from right-wing
Shannon Houlihan. Forward
Anne Tiffe soon followed with
a pair of goals, receiving
assists hom center-link
Jane Stangl and Houlihan.
Hammer slammed in the
next two scores on an assist
from Tiffe and a rebound
shot. The final goal was
scored by Houlihan on a feed

UWSP crushed ·by La Crosse
By Randy A. Pekala
At Memorial Field in La
Crosse last Saturday, at least
one football team had a hell
of a good time playing, but it
wasn't UW-Stevens Point.
UW-La Crosse, defending
its 1978 WSUC title, scored
the first three times it had the
ball, en route to a 62-7
thrashing of the Pointers.
UWSP fullback Steve
Busch carried from the oneyard line with ten seconds
remaining in tlie third
quarter as the Pointers
avoided a shutout.
,
Problems began early for
the Pointers as freshman
standout Jerry Schedlbauer
aggravated a shoulder injury
on,. his first play from
scrimmage and was out for
the game. From there
everything went downhill as
Pointers young and old
missed
defensive
assignments and suffe~ed
offensive mishaps~ In 60
minutes, the visiting team
had managed to lose three
fumbles and throw one
interception while trying to
play cat~h-up foot~all. In the
meantime, the In~ans rolled
up 402 yards of total offense
to just 191 for Stevens Point,
and threw with'apparent ease
through the ·Pointer
secondary.
In commenti~g on the lack
of defense, coach Ron Steiner
said, "If there's one thing
that really disap~ointed me
in the game, it was the play of
our secondary. Maybe we do
lack some talent there, but
we also had a poor effort on
pass defense."
The game set a couple of
records the Pointers would
rather forget about. The loss
by UWSP, by a margin of 55
points, tied the record for
greatest margin of defeat
dating back to a 1971 loss to
Superior of 55-0. Only , one
team has ever scored more
against a Pointer squad, and
that
was
Lawrence
University's 65 points, tallied
in 1902 against the old
Steven:; Point Normal
College.
The La Crosse offense did
not do all of the damage ·
however, as a 17-yard
interception and a 91-yard
kickoff return scored second
half touchdowns against the
Pointers.
"No question about it,"
Steiner continued, "We
played poorly. They (the
secondary) must have
underestimated the ability of
the guys they were playing
against. _()ur se~ondary- was
chasing them (La Crosse
receivers). Then when we
had to play catch up ball, we
made mistakes. Freshmen
made mistakes, but even our
veteran players did the same.
I'm not disappointed in their Pere. The Pointers will try to
improve their 1-1 season
effort, just their thinking."
Stevens Point did move the record by playing a team
ball well early in the third theydefeated21-13lastyear.

The UWSP women's tennis
team is looking forward to a
fine season· in 1979, and it
started off in fine fashion
with a strong victory over
Carthage College this past
Saturday, winning 6 to 3 for
new coach David Nass.
The J>ointers · split the
singles matches, winning at
the No. 1, No. 3, and No. 4·
spots, while sweeping the
douDles competition, taking
all three matches.

Cathy Leffler, and Kerry
. Meinberg (No.3), a returning
letter-winner, over Debbie
Dougherty, 6-3, 6-o.
Three of .the Pointers
singles losers gained a
measure· of revenge in the
doubles matches. Sheryl
Schubert, the team's most
valuable player last year, got
hers as she teamed up with
Ann Okonek to defeat Julie
Pfister and Jackie Schilz 2-6,
6-3; 6-2. Lisa Johnson, who

when they travel to UWGreen Bay on Wednesday,
Sept, 19, to take on the
Phoenix.
The UWSP freshmen
football team dropped its
season opener to UWWhitewater 38-12" Monday
afternoon at the UWSP
practice field.
The Warhawk yearlings
jumped off to a 17-Q lead in
the second quarter before the
Pointers scored on a threeyard run by fullback Don
Osgood. The extra point kick
was blocked. .
· Whitewater increased the
score to 31-6 with two third
quarter touchdowns before
UWSP came up with its final
score. That touchdown came
on a 12-yard pass from Mike
Tradewell to Pete Kraft at
the beginning of the fourth
quarter.
Whitewater closed out the
scoring in the fourth quarter
when halfback Bill Ryan
scored his third touchdown,.
this one on a one-yard run.
The game was a virtual
toss-up statistically with the
Warhawks having an 11-10
edge in first downs and a 216

Hypertension or high blood pressure has been
ignored by_millions of Americans year after year. As
a result at least 250,000 Americans died last year.
Some of these Americans were students, like yourself,
with student problems; for example, an excessive
smoker, an overweight individual, or an individual
under stress. These are only a few examples of things
that may cause high blood pressure. .
From hour to hour, day to day, your blood pressure
varies. It goes up when you're excited and it goes
down when you're at rest or sleep. These changes are
perfectly normal. But sometimes blood pressure goes
higher than the norm (120-80 between the ages of 18
and 45). As a result, it may increase the risk of stroke,
kidney failure, heart failure, or it may lead to a heart
attack.
This silent assassin may sneak up on you. There are
few or no symptoms of the crippler. For this reason, it
is important that you have your blood pressure
checked at least once a year.
The Student Health Advisory Community (SHAC) is
offering blood pressure readings twice a month in the
concourse, starting the first of October. Information
concerning blood pressure and its effects will be
available at the time of your reading. A personalized.
card with your results will also be given to you. What
is your reading?

Planning what foods to
bring on a camping trip is
always a perplexing task.
You're oeyer quite sure that
you remembered everything
or that what you bought will
pack well. One item that
always seems to present a
problem is the bread. It takeS
up a _lot of space ahd is
usually reduced to a squished
mess by the time it gets
unpacked. Never fear, there
is an answer-:- Whole Wheat
Buns. These buns are more
durable then regular bread,
easier to pack because they
can be divided to fit into
smaller spaces, and are great
for daytime hikes. Best of all,
they require half the time
that most breads take to
prepare, and . they are
incredibly delicious and
nutritious! Of course you
don't have to be camping to
enjoy these great · Whole
Wheat Buns.
Whole Wheat Buns
2 cups warm water
One-third cup honey
2 tbs. yeast (or 2 packages)
let sit 10 minutes
ADD
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbs. salt - stir well for 2-3
minutes
ADD ·
One-third cup oil
2eggs
1/2 cup wheat germ

seeds (roasted is preferred)

quickly, don't stir too much
or knead. It will be moister
than bread dough. Let rise 20
minutes. Then make into a
smooth ball and roll out with
a rolling pin or an empty
bottle, to 1% inches thick. Cut
out into circles with a glass.
Let rise 15 minutes. Bake 2025 minutes at 350 degrees.
there are only two more
IJII'Operties yet to be
acquired." One of these
properties stands empty with
no buildings on it. Park and
Recreation Director David
McDonald, who presented the
report said, "What we've ·
attempted to do is to
graphically depict what the
area could be." Public
hearings, soil tests, ·and an
environmental impact
statement are factors that
"will .bring out other ideas,"
he satd. The plan calls for a
marina at the end of Franklin
Street on the late Howard
Wells property, which the
cffy purchased earlier this
year. Wells had operated a
marina on his site. According
to McDonald, the river bed
might have to be dredged to
allow for the construction of ·
31 boat slips and this would
involve the DNR and the
Army Corps of Engineers.
The report also called for
restroom and launching
facilities as well as picnic and
parking areas. The Director,
in discussing the project said
"As the quality of water
improves, the resource use
for recreation will increase."
He further said that with the
Land
and
Water
Conservation Act and the
Outdoor
Recreation
Assistance Program, "it is
conceivable that half the cost
of the projeet could be funded
from other than local
sources." However;, he
stressed that the project is a
long-range concept which
invol~es an appraisal, public
heanngs, final grant
application procedures and
then construction.
With the redevelopment
events that have occurred
this-summer, public input has
been strong. For 16 years the
issue of a better downtown
has been tossed around and
public interest along with
committed officials were
major factors in drafting the
final highway plan. DAC
expects this to continue with
the
drafting
and
implementing of the overall
downtown development plan
and it also has listed projects
that are likely to occur with
further planning. Included
are developing new
restaurants
and
entertainment facilities,
establishing a mass transit
center on the Square, and
constructing new apartment
and condominium housing
near the downtown. In
reflecting on the highway
plan that has in effect served
as
a
catalyst
for
redeveloping,
Burke
concluded, "Of all the plans
that have developed, this one
seems to be a keeper." The
mayor in so many words,
echoed this by concluding,
"We have to take the lead,
but at that point private
investors must take the
action." This summer, with
the involvement of the public
and the commitment of
government and business
leaders, Stevens Point has
taken
the
lead
in ·
redeveloping its Central ·
Business District.
