OPINION
e
r
A council by any other
name would make I·
j
more sense
Ten years ago, as Earth Day initiated an
increased cognizance of the degradation of 1
environmental quality, a young UWSP
organization .known as the Environmental
Council acted out of the belief that the public
needed to become informed and involved with
environmental issues. The broad base of the
organization's membership and yariety ~f its
ecological concerns were assets in members'
celebration of Earth Week and early work with
the city bus system.
Today, however, the Council has become tQO
politically oriented to retain the adjective
"environmental" in its name. It might be better
recognized as the Political Action Council if ·it
continues such recently sponsored events as the
Symposium on National Defense and Nuclear
Proliferation, and rally against the Shah of Iran.
This is not to say that the Council is no longer
concerned with environmental issues. On the
contrary, members continue ,their paper
recycling efforts, and sponsor theater groups
and speakers dealing with alternative energy
sources and other topics.
However, their publications and activities are
examples of the overwhelming political
emphasis of the organization.
In the Council newspaper ad rem, published in
December, short articles about radioactive
waste disposal and synthetic fuel production
were eclipsed by a center section on the JFK
assassination, an article on SALT II, discussion
of the Pershing Rifle Club, and promotion of the '
anti-shah rally.
The Council's budget preparation paper for
FY-1 (1980-81) identified areas of interest for
possible co-sponsoring of campus events. The
group listed its interests as ''energy, civil rights,
economic problems, military spending and
foreign policy, and of course, ecological issues."
These are vital political considerations, and
the Council has a right to inform the community
and make its views known on a variety of topics.
The Council has always claimed to be a broad- , 1
based group, but it appears that it has broadened
itself to the point that the organization name no
longer accurately describes its emphasis.
Earth Day II in April will be a time for
evaluating where we have come ecologically in
the past decade. It would also do Council , . · .
members well to carefully evaluate their 1
programming and purpose, and decide whether
their emphasis justifies their continued
identification as the "Environmental" Council.

Timber woH reinhabits Wisconsin
By Ralph Radix
On July 9, 1979, "a wolflike
animal was Killed by a pickup
truck in Deer Management
Unit 32 of western Lincoln
County. . Tne animal was
turned over to the DNR, and
was imrhediately shipped to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
service in St. Paul. There,
Dr. David L. Mech stated
that there was a 95 percent
profiability that it was an
eastern timber wolf. It was
then sent to the Smithsonian
Institution for a final
verification. Dr. Ron Nowak
of the Smithsonian Institution
said it was definitely an
eastern timber wolf.
Wolves were believed to be
virtually extinct since the
late 1950's, and were finally
placed on the state's

Recent issues have been
raised by some who feel that
the concession business in the
national parks isn't compatible with National Park
Service goals of protecting
scenery, historic structures,
and artifacts.
Yellowstone, Grand
Canyon, and Yosemite
National Park,s seem to be
most affected by controversy
about · concession problems,
and there are other less immediate problems occurring
in other parks.
"Large conglomerate corporations have taken over the
businesses which provide service to park visitors in many
of our national parks," the
National Parks and Conservation Association (NP-
CA) testified. "As a result.of
these concessioners' inordinate political influence and
the outdated and unworkable
provisions of the Concessions
Policy Act of 1965, they make
far too many management
decisions that should be the
responsibility of the National
Park Service," NPCA said.
So just what are the
problems facing the National
Park Service as 1980 begins?
First, a brief history of the
existing concession business
will be presented, followed by
a discussion of the Concession Policy Act of 1965.

Park concessions cont' d
stated, "Last year the 450
concession operati~ns
grossed $217 million, about a
dollar from each of the 230
million Americans and
foreigners who dropped in.
Pre-tax profits are expected
to easily top $1 million next
year.
"The company and government feuded over the park
concessions for years. The
government said the com-_
pany failed to live up to its
contract by not rehabilitating
decaying buildings and not
building food and lodging
facilities at Grant Village
that would lure visitors away
from crowded Old Faithful.''
A 1976 report concluded,
"the company is not oriented
to service to the public, but
only to the generation of
profit dollars."
According to a 1979 issue of
Ecology Law Quarterly, the
profit motive that seems
inherent in the operation of
the concessioners in the
national parks is largely due
to the Concession Policy Act
of 1965. This act "Created
monopolies in existing concessions and gave concessioners windfall . profits.
Monopolies resulted from
Park Service practices of
automatically granting to a.
single concessioner preferential rights to provide all
existing and new facilities in

suggests that concessioners

· Daddy Whiskers--
Funkier than before·
By Ross Edward Dick
If you lived in the Stevens
Point vicinity between the
years 1972 and 1974, there's a
good chance you remember
Daddy Whiskers, one of the
hottest country-rock bands
touring the·state at that time.
When the group disbanded in
early-1974, the members went
their separate ways to travel,
play in other bands and
pursue other interests. Late
last year the four-mao
nucleus of Daddy Whiskers
resurrected the band with
.two new members, and the
result is a funkier, more
soulful country sound which
has energized crowds
throughout
central
Wisconsin.
''This new band has more
spunk or spirit," said Randy
Bruce, Whiskers' front man
and rhythm guitarist. The
original foursome is rounded
out with Frank Statton on
lead guitar, Joe Ebel playing
guitar and fiddle, aqd Jeff
Ebel behind the drums. New
members Pat Bowe and Tony
Menzer, on harmonica and
bass respectively, have
established their presence in
the group ~nd helped to add a
new dimension to its music.
While the old Daddy
Whiskers was primarily a
country-rock act, the new

advantages to Whiskers' fiveyear separation. "The good
thing is that we'_ve each
developed our own styles,
and now they're starting to
come together." Following
the breakup, Statton refined
his style in local bands such
as the Jefferson Street Soul
Review, Magnolia, and the
Blue Ribbon Gamblers. He's
written several of Whiskers'
tunes, among. them "I'm
Losin' My Mind Over You"
and " Big Gray Dog."

Point's Safety Last String
Band for a year, then moved
out to Seattle to play with
Curley Cook, a guitarist who
has backed the likes of Chuck
Berry and Jerry Garcia. He
•
also performed with Steve
Miller while in the Seattle
area. He has sat in with many
area groups in past years and
can be heard on a soon-to-bereleased album recorded by
Dave Parker, another former
Pointer.
_
Whiskers' drummer, Jeff
Ebel, also contributes on the
Parker album. When asked
his philosophy regarding the
drums,
he
replied,
"Drumming is nothing more
than breaking time down into
perfect increments. It's the
emotion that separates
drumming from pure
mathematics." Jeff was
enthusiastic about Pat and
ToAy's contributions since
joining Whiskers. "Pat has
given the band .new blood.
He's the rhythm and blues
influence. Tony ·gives us
spiritual direction. He lets us
realize how much continuity
there is in chaos."
The new members'
influence is evident in Daddy
_Whiskers' sound. Tony is an
admitted "born-again rock
bassist" who a·dds a certain
punch to the tunes. He has
played in the past' with the
Safety Last String Band and
the recently dissolved
Wheatstone Bridge. Pat,
another former Blue Ribbon
Gambler, injects some midWestern .soul with his crisp
harp playing and bluesy
vocals.
Whiskers does many songs
recorded by established
artists, although Frank, Joe,
Pat and Randy all share in
the songwriting. The
previously recorded material
is always reworked. "The
band members arrange all
the tunes," said Bruce.
"They don't come straight off
the records..'' Bruce
migrated to Nashville to
record and perform after the
Whiskers breakup, and he

.· Call Red cross now
for -a'·•blood donor
"A surprising fact I learned:
Just about every lifeguard
you· ve ever seeri has had Red
Cross safety training. To date,
Red Cross has issued over
65 million swimming and life-_
saving certificates.
. "There 's.just no .telling how
many lives saved those hardearned water safety certificates
represent.
· "Yet important as lifesaving
is, it's just one way Red Cross
serves our town.
''In tQwi1s and cities across
the nation, Red Cross performs
scores of differe-nt services.
In some places, Red Cross pro.
vides home health care for
senior citizens. In many places
they teach preparation for parenthood. Red Cross helps people reloc!lte after fires. Teaches
health, safety, first aid. Helps
veterans, In fact, if it needs to
be done, chances are Red Cross
is doing it right now.
~·And Red Cross could sure
use your help in getting it done.
