slogan from the American
Revolution? Any respectable

can tell you ~hat our
country's ·founding parents
became a bit perturbed.when
they shelled out a lot of
money to tlie government and
then had no say in where that
money was going. .
The same sittliltion could
easily arise for UWSP
students
Stude~ts pay thousands of
dollars each semester to
attend college. In the UW
system tuition surcharges
(or "student taxes") have
already been levied. This
year tuition at UWSP was
incrWed 12 percent by the
UW system administration
and the state Legislature.
And hefty hikes · are in the
works for 19&1.
Students are subject to
hyperinflationary costs for
their instruction. . But are
they represented? According
to state law, yes. Section
36.09(5) of the Wisconsin
~tatutes· clearly grants UW
students the right to
participate fu all aspects of
university governance. This

And for all this extensive

That's a small price to pay
for representation in this e~a
of special interest politics,
and it is worth it. ·
On October 13 and 14,
UWSP students will be given
the option of whether or not
they wish to support the
advocacy efforts of United
Council. The Student
Government Association will
be holding a referendum on
those days to determine the
UWSP student body opinion
regarding the Council.
I urge you to support
United Council. In both
theory and practice, United
Council is the only effective
means of ensuring real
representation for UW
students.
A vote for United Council is
a vote for a strong, unified
student voice. A v~te against
United Council is a vote in
favor of taxation without
representation. And that is
tyranny.
Vote "yes" on October 1314. Unless you are willing to
silently accept anything that
the state or the UW system
dishes out, you can't afford

.Ad insult to injury
"You've come a long way,
baby," says the Virginia
Slims slogan. If women have
come such a long way, then
why are we still being called
"baby?" Society has come a
long way in recognizing
women's rights since the
Victorian age. But some of it
is lip service. Our attitude
and role playing still need
improvement.
To see this, you only need to
stop and really listen or read
many of today's ads, like the
one by Virginia ,Slims.
Women are still shown as
either helpless, dependent on
men, or dependent on their
looks.
The message in these ads
must still be attractive,
otherwise the a<Jvertisers
wouldn't use it. And it must
still be attractive to women
since the products being
pushed are for women, and
the ads are often found in
women's magazines.
The first step in changing
the message of these ads is to
recognize their slant. Like,
"Nothing beats a great pair
of L'eggs." Nothing? Not
even brains, skill, or selfconfidence? Or, "Gentlemen
prefer Hanes." Would any
man really know the
difference? No, this ad is
really saying that if I wear
Hanes, my supposed major
koai in life will be achieved,
someone else, usually men.
Don't get me wrong, there's
nothing wrong with pleasing
someone else, especially a
man. But first, these ads .
can't realistically fill their
claim. Second, it's not
women's .purpose in life to .
dress, talk or smoke to ·
attractmen.
If you listen to Betty
Crocker, you'll be stashed
away in the kitchen trying to
~ "Bake Someone Happy,"
using "Extra fudgy for extra
brownie points." Now, if I
believed these ads, even
subconsciously, I'd be
severely depressed because
my baking talent does
anything but bake people
happy!
The first step is
cognizance. Be aware of what
the ads are really saying. The
second step will take a lot
more effort and a lot more
time. Men, and especially
women, must break the
traditional mold of women
orbiting around someone
else, always trying to please.
Our mouth~ are giving
service to women's rights
but our attitudes really
haven't come that far yet.
Baby, we still · have a .long
way to go,
all men will be drooling. Do
we really "buy" this? We
must.
Some
of
today 's
advertisers are trying to
appeal to the "modem"
woman. Some of them are
worthy. For example, an ad
for Mary Kay makeup reads:
"You don't have to look like a
model to look beautiful.", It
goes on to claim that women
with self-worth are naturally
attractive. The message is
that Mary Kay salespeople
can help you feel good. That's
fine. It's li.ke Meredith
Baxter Birney saying that
she's worth the extra cost of
L'Oreal hair coloring.
Neither one of these ads
claims to solve the problems
of your sex life, or the trials
of living. There's nothing
wrong with a woman taking
pride in herself. If makeup,
L'Oreal hair coloring, or new
clothes help you to feel good
about yourself, there's no
need for other justifications.
The Mary Kay and. L'.Oreal
commercials realistically
address women's needs
concerning themselves. On
the other hand, some ads
appeal to an older, more
destructive need: to solely
play the role of pleasing cont. on pg. 27

Retracing Pizarro's ·footsteps
Would you like a winter

Professor R. G. Nash of the
University · of WisconsinWhitewater has planned a
Dec. 27-Jan. · 7 tour to the
.Aitdes, where the fabulous

more than 400 years ago.
The visit will begin in
Lima, city of contrasts,
where · beautiful affluent
suburbs exist close to
barriadas, or squatter
settlements, in the pleasant
climate close to the equator
but cooled by the Humboldt
current.
A flight to Cuzco, high in
the Andes, will provide a
spectacular view of those
towering mountains. The city
contains Spanish Colonial .
architecture, built by the
explorer Pizarro and his men
after they looted and razed
the Incan temples. Today the
Spa~ish are gone and the
population is almost 100
percent Indian. A Museum
of Archeology is filled with
relics dating from pre-
Spanish days.
The Incas were superb
builders who constructed
roads, tunnels, bridges, stone
stairways, and irrigated
terraces, all without the
wheel A highlight of the tour
will be a visit to Macchu
Picchu, a city built by a band
of about 1000 Incas after
Pizarro destroyed old Cuzco.
Located on an isolated
plateau 3000 feet above the
Urubamba River Valley,
Macchu Picchu was occupied
between 1535 and 1571 and
then was abandoned for
reasons unknown. It remains
in remarkable condition.
The tour includes an
ov~rnight steamer trip
across Lake Titicaca, a body
of water 12,500 feet above sea
level, the highest navigable
lake in the world. Harboring

The Wisconsin Building
Commission approved final
plans which had been ok-ayed
for funding earlier as a minor
project in the current state
budget.

The work is expected to be

TI!e work will include new
plantings in · an open

Science Hall, plus the
grounds around that building
and the Natural Resources,

addition to the placement of
more trees and shrubs, some
new walkways will be
installed as well as bike racks
and information board
kiosks.
The area is bounded by
Fourth Avenue, Reserve,
Isadore and Portage Streets.
A. J. (Zeke) Torzewski,
assistant chancellor for
business affairs, said the
state traditionally sponsors
minor projects such as this as
part of the overall
maintenance of its property.
The money is a separate
appropriation beyond the
campus budget. Therefore,
UW SP would not have the
opportunity to delay the
improvements if it chose
instead to use the funds to
improve its own financial
situation.

Cost of the tour-subject to .

increases in air fares
occur-is $1650. Included are

a heart. attack has to be
separated from a promising
futpre.
·
Mahdi was an assistant
professor of business
administration at UWSP and
resided here for the past
eight months. A native of
Baghdad, Iraq, Mahdi and
his wife Sameia came to the
United States in 1977 to work
on his Master's Degree at
Long Island University. He
was also a candidate for the
doctoral
degree
in
management at UWMilwaukee. Previous to this,
Mahdi served as an assistant
to the president at Tech
Con·sult, a
business
consulting firm in Iraq.
. . Yet, despite prior
employment in business,
Mahdi wanted to be a
teacher. He started his
teaching career as . a
graduate assistant at OWMilwaukee. Then, despite
many teaching offers, he
opted for a UWSP teaching
position.
Dr. Robert Taylor,
chairman of the UWSP
business department, and
close friend of Mahdi, recalls,
"Kamil liked the town. He
thought it was a terrific place
to raise a family. He felt
UWSP was a growing
campus with lots of
opportunity and he wanted to
be a part of it."
Mahdi's father is the
Iranian Deputy Minister for
Industry and Commerce.
Mahdi himself was a partner
of
Transcontinental
Consultants, a business
consulting
firm,
in
Washington D.C., which he
helped found.
He wanted 1to share his
success with his parents, so
he made arrangements fqr
them to visit with him and his
family in Stevens Point
during the months of August
ana September.
Saqdy Moore, a neighbor
and very close friend of the
Mahdis, recalled, "Kamil
loved his family and was very
concerned about their
happiness. He sent his wife,

His family and friends hope
that the scholarship
established in his memory at

tradition, providing tuition
for at least one student a

I hope his daughter, Rania,

Way of the wor~ woi-Id
By Lauren Cnare
Pointer Features Writer
Working women are no
longer the exception to the
rule, they are the rule. In
1979, 43 million, more than
half of all American females
16 and older, held paid jobs,
according to a 1981 Equal
Rights
Amendment"
publicatiqn by the National
Organization for Women.
This figure will increase to 70
percent by 1990.
Another rule for working
women: on the average they
are paid only 59 cents for
every dollar working men are
paid. In Wisconsin this RaP is
wider, with women earning
only 57.5 cents for every dollar men earn.
This wage gap has existed
since the 1900's when the first
woman was hired to work in a
textile mill or factory. She
· has been a source of cheap
labor .ever since. Parallel
with this . wage gap, the
concept of "women's work"
has also ~ developed. Under
the· name of protective
legislation, laws were
created that forbade women
to advance to better paying
jobs by restricting them from
performing certain skills, or
in certain environments, as
well as limiting the number
of hours they could work.
Many of these laws have
since been repealed or
invalidated, but the attitude
of "women's work" prevails.
Today one of the primary
reasons women do not earn
as much money on the
average as men is that they
are trapped in low paying,
dead end jobs. 47 percent of

all working women are
concentrated in only four
occupations: saleswomen,
clerical, waitresses and

work in professional

half of these as teachers or

On June 30 of this year, the
Equal Rights Amendment
(ERA) faced its deadline for
ratification into the
constitution. Lacking the
ratification of three states,
the amendment was
executed. In the opinion of
some, however, ERA is only
resting.
Perhaps the ERA deserves
this rest after its 59-year
struggle. Introduced in 1923,
the amendment didn't pass
Congress until 1972.
Originally, it was allowed the
standard seven years for
ratification, but the time
allotment was extended for
three more years. The
extension didn't produce the
desired effects, however.
At the time of the original
deadline, 35 states had
ratified the amendment. It

WHY NOT?
"Spiritually, we are always
growing. We are potential
persons·all our lives."
Leo Jacoby elaborated on
the claim often surfacing in
debates on abortion, the
claim that a fetus is a
potential life. Jacoby,
married and the father of two
children, is the director of
religic;»us education at St.
Joseph's School. ln his view,
a fetus is no more a
''potential"· person than a
baby, teenager or adult.
Thus, he believes that life
begins at conception, . and
that each of us hold potential
life in our ova and sperm.
The belief that life begins
at conception .is also held by
the Roman Catholic Church.
"The · Catholic Church is
against abortion for different
reasons," Jacoby explained.
"They refer to biological and
scientific knowledge that
5ays a fetu8 is a human life,
whereas we believe in what
wecannotsee."
The spiritual element goes
beyond
materialism,
explained Jacoby. The
church bases its view on the
theory that beyond every
material thing there is
something more, something
spiritual. It could be
considered a third dimension
in abortion debates. While a material voice exists on the
pro-choice side and a
material voice exists on the
anti-abortion side, no
material voice can be heard
for the fetus, he pointed out.
Another party has to be relied
on for that voice," said
Jacoby.

Jacoby said, "we can hear

courts in different parts of

matter will almost c~rtainly
be decided by the Supreme

leaves the law meaning

Most federal courts have
adhered to a broad
interpretation of Title IX,
which says that sex bias may
not be practiced "in federally

or activities." Examining the
legislative history of Title IX,
these courts have decided
that Congress intended the

"They are more peopleoriented. This can be good in
writing too because they~re

Dieterich also cites reader
sensitivity as a possible
reason for the way women
talk. "Women use more tagin questions like, 'It's a nice
day,. isn't it?' Although this
may be reflecting their
sepsitivity toward the other
person, it c~ be interpreted
as a lack of self-confidence,"
he added.
But other language used by
· women does seem to reflect a
problem, acknowledged.
Dieterich. "Women use more
qualifiers," according to
several studies Dieterich has·
recorded. "They say, 'It was
.sQmewhat enjoyable,' " ·he
said. "They also use more
intensifiers such as 'very'
and 'great','' according to the
study. "It's. possible that
women use more qualifiers
and intensifiers because they

Women may also feel a
need to give more punch in
their statements because
men may not be listening to

Many studies do support
that men's behavior is more
aggressive than females,

study of 144 kindergarteners
found that bQys talked more,

Dieterich, that men use the
· word "shit,'' while women
commonly use the word
"drat." Although most coed

cautious way of speaking has
been found in recent studies

finished.
Dieterich was not
convinced that being formal
and poij.te is a bad quality.
"You can look at it in many
different ways," he began.
"You can say that women are

Studying women can boost _career
By Wong Park Fook
Pointer News Writer
· There are numerous
occupational opportunities
" available in the government
and private sectors for
graduates with minors in
Women's Studies. Students
with minors in Women's
Studies can gain an insight
into women's experiences
and their role in society.
Students will also find these
jobs interesting as they
involve · social work or
research on various aspects
of women's role in
government, education, the
family, and the community.
According to Dr. Kathy
White, coordinator of the
Women's Studies program at
/
UWSP, there are about a
dozen students who now have
·minors in Women's Studies.
She hopes to see some
expansion in the program,
such as more courses on the
· subject.
Although interest in
women's studies was much
keener in the seventies; there
are still a lot of people who
like to study women's
experience, which has been
given little attention · by
scholars in the past.
Next semester, the topic,
"Women and Violence in
Literature and the Media,"
will be offered under
Women's Studies 300. This
course will focus on violence
(both
physical
and
and counseling.
- Their main objective is to
offer alternatives to abortion.
"The whole essence of
Birthright is love," said
Konz. "We are there to help
the individual through her
pregnancy.'' They . offer
alternatives for women in
this dilemma.
One program, called
"Staffer," is designed· to
assist unwed mothers or
women in a pregnancy crisis
by providing medical care,
counseling, and self-support.
Konz referred to a Staffer
residence in Waukegan, Ill.
Here, the pregnant woman is
employed at St. Therese
Hospital, according to her
skills and talents.
Housing for the women is
located in a dorm next to the
hospital. The dorm has 160
private ro01ps. A payroll ,
deduction 1s made for
monthly room rent and prepayment of medical bills.
Mon~y is also taken from the
check and putinto a savings
account established for each
individual. The rest of the
money is given to the girls as
spending money. _
When a woman has her
baby, the money that had
been put into savings can now '
be used to pay-for the hospital
bill. If she decides to give her
baby up for adoption, she will
receive her savings and use it
to make a fresh start in life.
Konz said that all
information on clients of
Birthright and the Staffer
women
program is strictly
confidential. Birthright also
does ilot administer
contraceptives, nor make
abortion referrals.
. Another option, especially
for young girls, is to be.
placed with a family for the
duration of the ·pregnancy. If
a girl would feel better in a
place other than her family
home, this helps her to go
through her pregnancy a
little more at ease.
Sometimes, the initial
shock of finding out that she
is pregnant can put a girl in a
state of panic. "She cannot
think clearly about what she
is going to do. That's what we
are here for; to show concern
and to give a girl options ,
other . than abortion." But, .
sometimes a girl will still
choose to have an abortion.
"I hate to see it, but at least
she is informed of the
alternatives. We can't make
decisions for her, ,she knows
what is best for herself. She
has to make a decision that
she can live with."
These personal and often
unheard views on abortion
and on life may provide
insight for people personally
confronted with this issue.
And for anyone else, perhaps
it will help to open our eyes
and ears to a situation that is
not the same for any one
person. A situation where the
questions: Why? Why not?
and What else is there? will
continue to be asked.

but as to how this source of
energy travels to reach our

as the transmission of
electricity goes, Stevens
Point is unique in the state.
In the Stevens Point area,
there is a substation which
ties in three separate
generating plants from
, Appleton, Eau Claire, and
Wausau. Called Rocky Run
Substation and situated· on
Rocky Run Road just
southwest of Point, this '
station handles a combined
total of 100 megawatts of
electricity. This is the largest
single source of energy in the
state, laid out over six a~es
of land with a grid of .
transformers and a
sophisticated system of
relays and metering devices-.
These separate sources of
power are connected under
an agreement between
sixteen investor-owned
utilities (such as the WPSC
which serves Stevens Point),
municipal electric utilities,
and power cooperatives.
Called MAIN (Mid-America
~nterpool Network), the
power companies have
devised a system whereby a

While this will not kill the
farmer, it is not the most
pleasant thing a farmer can
have happen to him in the
field.
More often a source of
controversy
is
the
construction of these EHV
lines. Because of state ·laws
which
allow

companies to have . private
lands condemned in order tQ

known as the "right of
eminent domain," private ·
land is made into a public
servant for the good of all.
Once again, we may
consider this a small price
these farmers have to pay to ·
provide energy to run our
blenders and vacuum our ·
floors. But the power of such
laws as the right to -condemn
private property is an
mportant example of the
hidden costs of electricity, for
it is also used to build power
plants. You may ·not mind a

DOE ignores Rad-Waste
review
board..
By John Savagian
PointerEnvironmentWriter
Following weeks of
unexplained alienation on the
part of the D~partment of
Energy (DOE) towards the
Radioactive Waste Review
Board in WisconsiJL. the
· Board decided it would no
longer cooperate with the
DOE until respect for the
views of Wisconsin are
recognized in regards to the
placement of a low or high
level radioactive waste dump
in this state.
According to Naomi
Jacobson, board member and
member of League Against
th
Nuclear Danger, ere are
cold feelings between the
board and the DOE. She said
that with the DOE's past
record in dealing with other
states, there is no reason to
expect that Wisconsin will be
treated fairly. The only
alternative to the DOE's lack
of respect for Wisconsin's
right to be a part of the
decision making process was·
to take a hard line against
them, Mrs. Jacobson said.
The Waste Board's Policy
Council, headed by Michael
Shapey,. will meet , in Green
Bay on October 30, at 10 a.m.
at a place to be announced.
The DOE, continuing their
policy of jlolding meetings in
Madison. and on working days
and at working hours, has
schedUled the .next meeting
for October 12, at 8 a:m. at a
· place to be announced. Even
though the most likely placefor a radioactive dump site
would be in central or
northern Wisconsin, where
the granite bedrock is ideal
for DOE's plans, the hearings
are to continue being held
away from those most likely
affected. This is a major
reason for the bad feelings
between the Rad Waste
Review Board and the DOE.

plant. As such, if a farmer's
potato crop is subjected to an
invasion of aphids, for
instance, the farmer wo'uld
only have to add two to three
foliar applications to the
already absorbed aldicarb to
deal with the invasion of
infestation. However, without
the presence of aldicarb, a
farmer under a similar
scenario would, according to
Sargent, have "at least 10
foliar applications" to make
to deal with the disaster.
With this in mind, the
temporary ban on aldicarb
use in areas where aldicarb
has been found in drinking
water came to mind. Because
the ban can't be judged
effective at this premature
time, I asked Sargent
whether potato farmers in
those areas used substitutes
and if so, what they were.
Sargent replied, "It is very
likely that they have used
substitutes." He couldn't
name any names of the
products. It wasn't that he
wouldn't, Sargent made
clear, he just couldn't.
Sargent did say that he had
questions about using
substitutes for aldicarb.
Beside the already stated
need for further foliar
applications
without
aldicarb, Sargent said, "I'm
wondering whether the
substitute products aren't
more
harmful
than
aldicarb." Aldicarb has a
SNARL of 10 parts-per-billion
{ppb) while substitutes
disulfoton and carbofuran
have SNARLs of 1 ppb and 5
ppb, respectively. This
indicates, according to
Sargent, the higher toxicity
..
Pointer Page 17 .
. of these two potential
substitutes.
Additionally, Sargent sited
figures from the. recently
released EPA data on the 11
area tested wells. Aldicarb,
with a SNARL of 10 ppb had a
peak test of 17 ppb and a
second of 14 ppb.-Both were
under twice the aldicarb
SNARL. However, disulfoton,
with a SNARL of 1 ppb, had a
maximum reading of,100 ppb
and second of 90 ppb.
Carbofuran, with a SNARL of
5 ppb, topped out ·at 12 ppb
with a second-of 1 ppb: Both
disulfoton and carbofuran
had maximum readings . of
over twice their respective
SNARLs~
--
"This was the firs.t thought
that came to mind," said
Sargent. "The alternatives
seem to-pose more problems·
than . aldicarb." Further,
· disulfoton and carbofuran
donot control the nematode,
the real nemesis of potato /"
farmers in the area.
The alternatives, as
Sargent sees them, do not
leave much choice for
fanners. These choices do
not leave much hope for those
people who hope to clean up
the groundwater. If, as
Sargent says, ·~we're going
· to find out that we are going
to have to change," then
sound alternatives have to be
available to both the farmers
and consumers of ·water in
the area. The development of
safe, effective alternatives
should be a process which
brings the farmers and
environmentalists together.
Without such cooperation,
this dilemma will not be
changed and may only get
worse.

Womens Athletic Program continUes success.
By.Mary-MargaretVogel
Pointer Sports Editor
How do you spell success?
·How about UWSP W-0-M-EN-'SA-T-H-L-E-T-1-C-S.
During the 1981-82 school
year, the women Pointers
earned three WWIAC
championships, had nine
athletesselectedtofirstteam
all-conference and counted 13
All-American honorees.
The WWIAC crowns were
earned by the field hockey,
volleyball and softball teams,
while the cross country,
swimming, and track and
field teams also participated
in NCAA Division lll national
competition.
To what does athletic
director Dr. Paul Hartman
attribute the Women's
Athletic Program's success?
"I think the caliber· of play
has gone up immensely in the
last few years," he stated.
"Hiring good coaches and the
addition of assistant coaches
makes more time for better
recruiting and that is also a
factor,"hesaid.
Dr. Marjorie Spring, an
HPERA professor, has also
seen positive change in the
last 18 years she's been at
UWSP. "The outstanding
difference is the quality of the
program. There are more
opportunities for the women
. and better trained coaches.
The players are better
prepared coming from the
high school level and
therefore are more
confident- they have more
desire to participate."
Assistant athletic director
Bonnie Gehling thinks the
Women's - Athletic Fund
(WAF) has played a big part.
"The WAF · is a booster
group for the program. We
want to increase visibility in
women's athletics and get
. more
community
involvement."
That the women are able to
form an organization like
WAF, funded through
financial contributions and
fund drives, is evidence of
growth and change in the
Women's Athletic Program
here.
Another change , is the
- UWSP Women's Athletic
Program
conference
affiliation. Last- year, the
Association
for
Intercollegiate Athletics fot
Women (AIAW), the system
under which the UWSP
women's program was
governed, was abolished
because of an inability to
maintain a national
organization. This year, the
women are governed under
the much larger NCAA.
Hartman sees a positive side
to the switch.
,. "Sure, there are more
schools involved now but the
advantage is that the NCAA
will pay transportation
expenses to a championship
meet where the AIAW didn't.
That could mean a difference
of $10,000."
Money continues to be an
important issue in women's
athletics these days, as
always. In the past, the
athletic program has been
criticized for its division of
money allocated between
men's and women's sports.
This year the men's program
will receive about $78,000,
while the women will get
about $31,000.
Hartman thinks the budget
is fair. "Six years ago, the
women were allocated only
$9,000 for athletics," he said.
"We budget according to
need and the men's program
needs more money to keep it
going."
Gehling agrees. " In
perspective, it is fair," she
said. "Men's football and
basketball fund all the sports
offered. It's a question of
revenue vs. non-revenue
sports. You can't really say
this is men's money and that
is women's money- we're all
in the athletics program
together."
Gehling cited another
reason the women are
satisfied with the present
program. "Three years ago,
we were able to add softball
and cross country on to our
women's program under
Chancellor Philip Marshall.
Eight different sports is
enough to give any woman an
opportunity iil athletics."
Other than financial
support, do the women get
enough other kinds of
support- like fan support?
"I think the students are
becoming
more
appreciative," Gehling said.
"We're not a men's team.
We're going to play our game.
our way. The game is slower
but the women add
grace- but don't let that fool
you. We are just as skilled."
The future of the Women's
Athletic Program looks
bright to Gehling. "It'll be
hard for our teams to top t~e
outstanding performances of
last year," she admitted. ·
"But with the talent and
dedication I've seen
displayed so far this year, the
higher goals are just added
incentive to give that extra 10
percent."

submitted to United Council
within the first 30 days after
the first day- of classes in
academic session. This
information is on every
student's fee print-out.
United Council is not an
agency of UWSP or the UW
system administration. It is
an independent lobbying
group that protects the rights
and special interests of
students in public higher
education. In this era· of
· special interest politics, it is
crucial that students have a
voice in the state capitol and
in system administration.
_United Council is the only
organization that represents
UW students in the political
arena, and U deserves the
support of UWSP students.

To Pointer Magazine,
As a Stevens Point citizen I
find that I am very interested
with the issues which affect
A our city. I'm concerned the
W issues whether they affect us
adversely or favorably. I
v.iew the Stevens Point
Advocates for Rental
Efficiency (S.P.A.R.E.), and
its effot::ts to achieve energy
efficiency standards for
rental units, as an issue that
affects Stevens Point in a
very favorable _manner.
S.P .A.R.E·. focuses its
concern on the energy
inefficiency of much of
Stevens Point's housing
units; Much ·of this housing
( 41 percent) is rented. This,
Combined with the local,
state,· and national concerns
on the issues of energy usage
and conservation makes
S.P.A.R.E.'s efforts of a
much more urgent nature.
The higli annual heating
costs place a strain on
renters, especially those on a
fixed income (i.e. . elderly,
students, and single parent
families). Yet, these are not
the only ones being affected
- our city as a whole is being
drained of its monetary
resources.
, .
Therefore, I feel this
. situation is one which
requires , some immedjate
ac~ion.
And, I view
S.P.A.R.E.'s efforts on this
issue as being in our
community's-best interest.
Sincerely Yours,
TammyBina
