Rites of Writing
-
•
,Who said there
Some 11 . years ago, UWSP English professor Mary
Croftdirst assembled a corps of literary experts including editors, poets and writers to speak at the inaugural ·
Rites of Writing. Croft initiated the conference as a response to the nationwide discontent people were expressing toward the ineffectiveness of education. "Why can't
Johnny read "Or write?" many were asking. The first
Rites was open to the public and was provided at no cost
to participants.
Today, that tradition still holds true. Even though Croft
has retired from the English Department, the popularity
of the Rites has prospered and participation in the con--ference continues to grow.
Enthusiasm abounds in the corridors of the Writing
.Lab, too, where current organizer Dr. Richard Behm and
others have been working steadily to prepare the script
for this year's Rites.
This year.looks to be one of the best for the Rites, says
Dr. Dan Dieterich of the English Department, as some of
the nation's finest laureates will converge .in Stevens
Point next Monday and Tuesday.
It's an opportunity students shouldn't miss. Many people, however, are apprehensive about writing. "You're
very vulnerable when you write because writing is permanent and leaves a la"sting impression of yourself," said
Dieterich. . "Many people," says Dieterich, "have prolr
lems and concerns about writing, but the Rites is a perfect way to overcome those fears and approach writing
positively."
Why, you ask, is it so important to possess _good writing skills? .One reason might be the results of one poll
which indicates that most executives feel that effective
writing and speaking abilities are the two most important
qualities for those seeking professional advancement. .
Moreover, in a recent survey of deans of business
schools and personnel directors of Fortune 500 companies, poor writing skills were clearly identif!ed as the
most frequently mentioned weakness of young executives.
"A person who can't speak and write well can be a definite liability to anv orofession," says Dieterich. "I don't
IS

no free lunch?
care what their profession is, if they can't communicate
their skills, they're in deep trouble."
Aside from the personal enrichment reasons to attend
the Rites, Vice-Chancellor Irving Buchen has declared
the Rites an alternative educational experience. Translated, that means students wishing to attend the Rites need
only get prior approval from instructors and it won't
count as an absence.
In the same light, Dieterich was quick to quote an old
adage which reads: ''You shouldn't let classes interfere
with your education." I think that's a wise saying said
.Dieterich. ''You're here to learn something-not merely
go to class," says Dieterich, ". . .if you cari learn something in another avenue, perhaps learn more than you
would in a specific class, it makes sense to take the other
avenue." Many professors, however, have simply cancelled their classes so that students may attend the Rites
unfettered by classwork. ~
If you think the World Trade Towers are examples of
parallel construction, or that a split infinitive is a new
math fonnula, the Rites has something for you.
Perhaps best of all reasons to attend the Rites, though,
is the fact that the entire conference is free. And at that
price, who can afford not to go?

To The Editor and Staff:
Apathy here, apathy there,
apatlw is NOT ,everywhere.
With all the recent talk and
-articles about apathetic students, I felt the Pointer readers
would enjoy an example to the
contrary. This past weekend
UWSP successfully hosted the
National Association for Campus Activities, (NACA) Spring
Regional Conference. A success
because over 50 unapathetic,
excited and dedicated students
put in some of their valuable
time and effort for the last four
months to ensure a smoothly
run conference.
Why? Well, it wasn't always a
party for these volunteers, but
it was worth it. Worth it when
volunteers heard a UW-Eau
Claire student say, "I wish we
had the facilities and the moti. vated students for programming
that you do. It seems like you
have fun here at UWSP." Many
other good comments were
heard about our campus and
friendly students.
The compliments from other
four- and two-year Wisconsin
schools' students and staff and
college circuit performers cited
the volunteers' tasks from. d&veloping 500 registration
packets to missing popcorn at
Partner's on Mondays to attend
weekly meetings worth it.
You see, the NACA volunteers, like many other caring
and active students on campus,
found the answer to the question: "Why get involved?" It's
the reward of a job well done.
The rewards of learning new
things, meeting new friends and
being able to proudly say, "I'm.
not contributing to apathy, I'm
doing something about it."
Hey UWSP, although it may
seem like things here are mundane and that there are an
abundance of things to complain about, once you talk to
other UW students-we've got it
good.
Sincerely,
Usa Tbiel
NACA Student CbaJr
P .S. Thanks to everyone involved in the conference planning. Yoli all did an excellent
job.

Here's a secret
about acid rain
Secret: Environmental release of
sulfur dioxide -- an air pollutant
-- has fallen 25% in the U.S.
since 1970. Yet we're burning
more coal today than in l970.
And that's important if you care
about acid rain.
Because sulfur dioxide is a gas
which promotes acid rain. In the
eastern U.&.·, most sulfur dioxide
comes from coal burning.
Locally, Wisconsin Public
Service has done even better.
Since 1970, we've cut sulfur
dioxide releases by 40 percent at
the coal-burning plants we
operate.

Of course, this way of think·

they're going to make a pile of

A test isn't going to do it because there isn't a test that all
majors would ever agree to
take. And really, all a test
proves is that you are either a
good test-taker or a poor testtaker. Too many of us have gotten good grades on tests that we
should've failed, to take testing
too seriously.
Maybe the thing to do is to
appoint a government committee to study the problem and
present its findings and conclusions to Congress. But then a
bunch of lawyers and Poly Sci
majors are going to be involved, and I, for one, don't
trust those people.
An average of all ·gradepoints
within a major is a possibility.
But, knowing what we do of
testing, gradepoints aren't going
to help U$.
It seems to all come back to
money. The only problem is
that although law and medi&l
students will, as a major, have
the highest incomes, they aren't
going to be the wealthiest. The
wealthiest college graduatj:!s
will be those who inherit their
millions, usually from people
who never went to college. SO
there is a real problem using
money as the standard to decide on the- "best" major. .
But there is an answer, and
history will provide it. Any History major can tell you how
things of import are decided.
The answer is war.
I suggest that each department from each college in the
country pick five people in their
program. These five people will
be given firearms and ammunition and fight it out against all
other majors. This would require a large open area such as
Utah or maybe the . Louisiana
Superdome. The networks could
film it - maybe call it "Battle
of the College Majors" - and
award the proceeds to the winner.
, Whichever major - or whichever individual from a major survives would decide which is
the best college major. I think
that's reasonable.

Raymond Anderson believes
the litter he and student assistants examined in a den west of
Rhinelander is the largest of its
kind ever found in the Lake
States Region of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan.
The national record is held by
a sow in Pennsylvania that produced six cubs.
A deer hunter found the
Rhinelander den. late last year,
and on Jan. 14, Anderson, a faculty member in the UWSP College of Natural Resources, located the sow which, by that
time, had delivered the cubs.
Anderson didn't see them but
beard their squealing. When be

the sow and found the rare litter.
Research done previously indicates an average black bear
litter in this region numbers 2.4
cubs; however, the average
count is three among the families Anderson and his students
have studied since 1981. The
professor reports that it has not
been uncommon to find four
cubs in a litter throughout
northern Wisconsin during his
research fieldwork. By contrast,

While black bear productivity
is good in the state, so is the
survival rate of cubs, according
to Anderson's preliminary information. It appears to be in the
90 percent range, which is significantly higher than in some
parts of southeastern United
States and Canada. Predators,
particularly bobcats and
coyotes, are believed to be ~
sponsible for many of the

Enviro~ent
Birds of a feather are not flocking together
species migrates any farther
south than Florida. Could migratory habits be the key?
Serrao thinks so. Because of
the widespread nature of the
losses, site, local, or regional
problems most likely are not responsible. Forest fragmentation, resulting from the inroads
of shopping malls, housing developments, roads and industrial parks, might shoulder part
of the blame.
Chandler Robbins, of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center
in Marybptd, states that tropical migrants especially suffer
from the ramifications of forest
fragmentation. Increased forest
edge provides ideal habitat for
predators, allows for increased
human intrusion, increases the
instances of nest parasitism by
the brown-headed · cowbird, and
generally increases the mortality rate' of breeding tropical migrants through predation and
nest failures. Without immediately adjacent popUlations to
replace these losses, a species
eventually disappears.
by Lorelle Knoth
Outdoor Writer
"There's been a precipitous
decline since the early 1960s,"
says John Serrao, "in the
breeding populations of warblers, vireos, flycatchers, and
thrushes in the eastern hAlf of
the United States." Serrao
nlight well know. He directs
Greenbrook Sanctuary, a 165acre woodland in New Jersey,
where the evidence surrounds
him-or more precisely, does
not.
At Greenbrook, entire species
of birds .have disappeared from
fonner nesting areas within the
last 25 years. Through the early
'60s, annual census data commonly included 5-10 breeding
pairs each of the yellowthroated vireo, blue-winged
warbler, black-throated green
warbler, Louisiana waterthrush,
and common yellowthroat. Ten
to thirty breeding pairs annually of the chestnut~ded warbler,
hooded warbler, ovenbird,
American redstart, eastern
phoebe, eastern wood pewee,
veery, red-eyed vireo, and
black and white warbler commonly nested at Greenbrook
until 25 years ago as well.
Then, a slow crisis" began. By
1983, all but the latter five species had vanished. Those five
lived on at Greenbrook in numbers 80-90 percent below 1957
levels.
In an article in American
Forests (April 1985), Serrao
cites numerous other studies
w~h reported similar avian
losses. Irr New York, New Jersey, the District of Columbia,
Wisconsin, and other states
from the Great Lakes to the
Great Smokey Mountains, the
same stOry surfaced: warblers,
vireos, flycatchers, and
thrushes-all tropical migrants-had vanished or sharply
declined over the last quarter
century.

But forest fragmentation does
not fully account for the losses.
Serrao cites studies in unbroken
expanses of eastern forests
which show the same decline in
warblers, vireos, flycatchers;
and thrushes. The common denominator to which we must return is that the vanishing and
declining species are, almost
without exception, tropical migrants. Species able to maintain
or increase their numbers, on
the other hand, migrate only
short distances to the southern
US or migrate not at all.
Census data suggest that the
decline in breeding populations
of tropical migrants in the
eastern US began in Ute early
'60s. Serrao, after reviewing
studies funded by the Smithsonian Institute, the US Fish &
Wildlife Service, and the World
Wildlife Fund, draws a "de!!Jt-

Prairies-fought with oaks 1n a natural wor
From A Saud County AJmaoac, by Aldo Leopold. Copyright
1949, 1977 by Oxford University
Press, Inc. Reprinted by permission.
When school children vote on
· a state bird, flower or tree, they
are not making a decision; they
are merely raticying history.
Thus history made bur oak the
characteristic tree ~ southern
Wisconsin when the prairie
grasses first gained possession
of the region. Bur oak is the
only tree tl\.at can stand up to a
prairie fire and live.
Have you ~ver wondered why
a thi~k crust of corky bark covers the whole tree; even to the
smallest twig? This· cork is
armor: Bur oaks were the shock
troops sent by the invading forest to stonn the prairie; fire is
what they had to fight. Each
April, before the new grasses
had covered the prairie with
unburnable greenery, fires ran
at will over the land, sparing
_only suc.h old oaks as had
grown bark too thick to scorch.
Most of these groves of scat~ veterans, known to the pioneers as 'oak openings,' consisted of bur oaks.
·
Eiigineers did not discover insulation; they copied it from
these1 old soldiers of the prairie
war. Botanists can rea.d the story of that war for 20,000 y~.
The record consists partly- of
pollen grains embedded in
peats, partly of relic plants interned in the rear of the battle,
. and there forgotten. The record
shows that the forest front at
times retreated almost to Lake
Superior; at times it advanced
far southward that spruce and
other 'rear guard' species grew
to and beyond the southern border of Wisconsin; spruce pollen
appears at a certain level·in all
peat bogs of the region. But the
average battle line between
prairie and forests was about
where it is now, and the net outcome of the battle was a draw.
One reason for this was that
On 10 October 1763, he yisited
Blue Mounds, a group ·or high
hills (now wooded) near the
southwestern comer of Dane
County. He says:
! ascended one of the highest
of these, and had an extensive
view of the coontry.
For many miles notbiJm was
to be seen but lesser mountains,
which appeared at a distance
like haycocks, they being free
from trees. Only a few groves ,
of hickory, and stunted oaks,
covered some of the valleys.
In the 1840s, a new ariimal,
the settler, intervened in the
prairie battle. He didn't mean
to, he just plowed enough fields
to deprive the prairie of its immemorial ally: fire. Seedling
oaks forthwith romped over the
grasslands in legions, and what
had been the prairie region became a region of woodlot
farms. If you doubt this story,
go count the rings on any set of
stumps on any 'ridge' woodlot
in southwest Wisconsin. All the
trees except the oldest veterans
date back to the 1850s and the
1860s, and-this was when fires
ceased on the prairie.
covered by the heaviest foreSt.
As soon as the oak openings
were settled, and the farmers
had prevented running grassfires, the grubs (roots) grew up
into trees and fonned tall thickets so denSe that it was difficult
to walk through them, and every trace of the sunny (oak)
'openings' vanished.

comes to mind is the huge
musky I mentioned earler that
we lost only a week before the

It was a hot July morning
with a mile-high bluebird sky.
Jeff and I were casting for muskies suspended off the same two
rock reefs mentioned in the previous story. This time large ciscoe immitating jerkbaits were
in order, something that produced a lot of motion and flash•
When retrieved properly, these
lures would flutter and dart
from side to side, resembling a
crippled baitfish.
We casted for about five minutes when the first fish
appeared. A large shadow
emerged from the gloom 10 feet
below the surface as I . intently
watched my lure approach the
boat. I stared as the body of a
25-pound musky materialized
and followed the jerkbait to
boatside. The fish came so close

I drove the rod tip deep into .
the water doing . a few figureeight maneuvers, trying to g~
the muskY to hit. It became disinterested and finally finned
back into the depths. Within the
next half-hour, Jeff and l had
five such "follows," with three
fish exceeding 40 inches in
length.
Around 11:30 a.m., a huge
musky announced its presence
with an eruption of whitewater
as it inhaled my shallow running jerkbait. It quickly bore
down for deep water, and in the
process almost pulled me over
the side of the boat. I'll never
forget how the rod tip stopped
abruptly when I set the hook.
WHUMMP! "Set the hook!"
Jeff screamed. Again I reefed
as hard as I could; WHUMMP! .

Then all hell broke loose as
the musky started to fight back.
I had only to-15 feet of line out
when the fish hit, leaving me
with no room for error. The
musky thrashed violently at
boatside, twisting and turning,
trying to throw the 'imbedded
hooks. The fish was in complete
control, torquing my shoulders
and arms in every direction. All
I could do was hang on and
take the punishment.
Suddenly the hooks let go and
three ounces of hardwood came
screaming toward my face. I
couldn't react fast enough, and
the · jerkbait caromed off my
sunglasses, sending me crashing to the floor of the boat. With
one sweep of its mighty tall, .the
fish of a lifetime was gone.
Jeff just stood there laughing
and snapped a few pictures of
me sprawled out in the bottom
of the boat. We can't say exactly how big that fish was, except
that it was much bigger than
the 24-pounder we caught.
I will never forget last summer's fishing experiences.
While not all of our excursions

"Ric did all that was expected of him end more," said Witt.
"He bad a personal record in
the 440 and just missed the conference record in the 2?J) m. He
also ran a super leg in the mile
relay."
Christman also was a champion. His time of 1:12.62 ·i n the
600 yard run was just one-tenth
of a second off the conference
record.
"Mike sacrificed himself in
individual events in favor of the
relays by not running any of his
best events," noted Witt. · "Yet
be still got three wins. He
proved be is a factor to be reckoned with in any event be competes in."
The Pointer relay teams put
UWSP in a strong second place
position with two wins. The
group of Kevin Knuese, Ted
Blanco, Pete Larson and Christman sprinted to a 1:32.79 finish
in the 880 yard relay and the
mile relay . of Rob Rotar, Jim
Watry, Perona and Christman
won in a breeze in 3:25.98.
. "Our relay teams were excep- ·
tional," said Witt. "Everyone
ran to their potential and it was
a just reward for the bard work
they have put into their training."
Pointers bringing home second place points were Perona in
the 440 yard dash, 50.74; and
Ben Bawngart, 6'8" in the high
jump.
Third place finishes were registered by Mike Nelson in the '
1,000 yard run (2:16.72) and
Scott Laurent ( 45¥, in the triple

Karla chose Stevens Point

Division I volleyball at Madison. "I wanted to go somewhere
