-'21'' drinldng age -
Task Force takes
educdHonal approach
by Debbie Kellom
Editor
An Alcohol Task Force at
UWSP is trying to edQcate students about the new drinking
laws, whether they be municipal ordinances or state statutes.
"That would be when the age is
21 and there would be almost no
students in the halls who would
legally be able to drink." Completely banning alcohol from
the halls is another consideration, although a decision to do
that would have to be made by

Hints on letters to the editor
In the real world, it's not always easy to get letters
printed in a newspaper. It takes the right mixture of
pathos, politics and hwnor to get a letter in.
.
Here at the Pointer, we pride ourselves on being a
stepping stone for journalists to eventually get professional jobs in a paying job market (ha ha). I figure
.t hat the same should hold true for student editorial
page letter writers.
After all, the same people who are bubbling over
with praise or complaining about a recent article,
will probably continue to do so in the future. Unfortunately, the competition will be fierce. The Pointer has
a few letter writers, and learning from and using
their combined experience and fonn, anybody can
write a negative letter to a newspaper.
For the sample letter, pretend I've written a column that's really insulted a viewpoint you consider

personally and morally important.
Go on. Think Hard. Stretch your imagination.
I can't help you write an intelligent or exceptional
letter objecting to an article, you have to reach within yourself to do that. However, if you are content to
write an average letter of complaint, follow the example inserting the necessary words or catch phrases
in the brackets, and then send the letter to the Pointer.

New drinking age
affects downtown
bar scene
by Debbie Kellom
Editor
When' Wisconsin legislators
raised the drinking age from 19
to 21, the beer capital was sent
into a state of shock. Among the
hardest hit were tavern owners. ""
In Stevens Point, the campus
bars will, without a doubt, suffer the most.
Many downtown tavern owners are justly concerned about
their ability to turn a profit

into effect on September 1.

of Grin and Beer It agreed, saying, "You don't know how the
law is going to affect you. You
have to wait at' least a yearand-a- half."
Bob Drenberg, owner of the
Unique Bar, said that he is
thankful for the grandfather
clause. The Unique plans to put
more emphasis on its food operation. At this point, Drenberg
was unsure of the effect "21"
would have on business.
The grandfather clause,
allowing those who are 19 before September to drink, will
delay this income loss somewhat, and thus make the
change-over more gradual. Because the grandfather clause
gives the bars an extra yearand-a-half, most taverns will
adjust slowly, changing their
style to attract older customers
to the downtown area.
James Mozuch, owner of Buffy's Lampoon, expects that
there will be a drop in business

little action taken ·to remove toxic,
hazardous material from .UWSP.
/
by Dan Dietrich
Features Editor
Little action has been taken to
dispose of the 5,680 pounds of
toxic and hazardous material
being stored on the UWSP campus since the State Building
Commission approved $501,100
to dispose of,it.
The Commission approved the
money on June 26 after a June

Kursevski questions
,UWSP figures
by Dan Dietrich
Features Editor
AI Kursevski of the UWSP
Risk Management office stated
that the amount of toxic, hazardous waste at UWSP is
actually 600 rather than the
5,680 pound figure cited in a
June 22 Milwaukee Journal article.
The numbers in the Journal
article represent both waste
and material thilt could be considered hazardous, but has not
necessarily been declared as
waste, said Kursevski.
Some of the stuff that they
(the Milwaukee Journal ) cited
as being 'waste' has not even
been used yet. We have some of
it in stock, said Kursevski.
He should know, Kursevski
stated in a June 23 Stevens
Point Daily Jouranl article, because he was the one who conducted the search for the waste
last October.
· He also authored the UWSP
report to system officials, it
was reported.
Nothing is a waste unless it
has been declared as such, Kursevski said.
Michael Schmoldt, UW system hazardous substance management official stated that his
(Schmoldt's) inspection showed
a large volume of unused hazardous substances that should
be identified as waste, the Chi~
pews Herald- Telegram reported.
Schmoldt's January memo to
UW system administrators
stated that Once we look into
all the nooks and crannies, inside all the cabinets, and look
atop all the shelves, we're going
to find a lot more. He admitted
that the problem could be ten
times as big.
We did that, stated Kursevski
referring to Schmoldt's comments about looking into every
nook and cranny. Believe me,
we accounted for every room.
When we sent in the report, it
weighted 35 pounds, stated Kursevski in the Stevens Point Daily Journal article.
Under current regulations,
UWSP can store up to one ton
of waste before having a 90 day
limit within which to properly
dispose of it, Kursevski said.
Even if (Schmoldt) was using
the figures of all material, even
if he was wrong, he got publicity, said Kursevski.
Asked whether that publicity
was beneficial or not, Kursevski
said that it was beneficial, because it can cause action.
The Environmentai Protection·
Agency has announced that it
will increase inspections of fed- ·
eral and state facilities for compliance with current hazardous
waste laws.
Federal and state hazardous
waste laws become stricter on
September 22.

While officials at UWSP await
the start of construction of a
$2.1 million paper science facility, workmen are paving two
parking lots and preparing to
replace the flooring in the
Quandt Gym.
Mary Williams, coordinator of
facilities planning for UWSP,
said bidding for the addition to
· the Science Hall to house paper
science programs "should begin
very soon." Construction is
expected to get underway in the
fall and be completed within a
year.
~ The facility will be on two
floors covering about 14,000
square feet and consist of paper
testing, paper defect, simulation, paper machine, paper
process, pilot and waste management laboratories plus a
process control station, mechanical supports spaces, handicapped access entry with an
elevator and a display area.
· More than half a million dollars of the state's appropriation
to the project will be used for
laboratory and movable equipment. In addition, another million dollars worth of new and
existing eq~pment will be installed as the result of direct financial support to UWSP from
paper producing companies.
Meanw·hile, more than
$100,000 is being expended to
pave two previously gravel-covered parking lots used by commuting students and campus
visitors.
Streets and Fourth Avenue, has
190 stalls. Lot T, beside PraySims Residence Hall off the corner of Reserve Street and
Fourth Avenue, has been
expanded by seversl stalls to
accomodate 150 vehicles. The
entrance to that facility has
· been moved to Illinois Avenue.
The paving is being done by
American Asphalt of Wausau.
The costs will be paid out of a
fund generated by revenues
from parking fees. A Milwaukee
firm was the low bidder for the
Connor maple floor that will be
installed in Quandt Gym.
Mrs. Williams said the contract has not been finalized;
however, the apparent winner
of the job submitted a low bid
that was about $45,000 under the
budget of $187,000.
The present floor of synthetic
composition was considered
hazardous for basketball players becuse it "is no longer resilient, lacks proper slide, is separating at the seams and
bubbling. It's basically worn
out," Mrs. Williams reported.
Installation of the new floor will
be done sometime between now
and Oct. 1.
Though there appears to be
considerable savings on the
gymnasium project, the extra
money cannot be used ·to offset
larger than expected bids on renovations in the Communication
Arts Building. The state has approved $243,000 for plumbing,
heating, ventilating, air condi-
tioning and electrical projects
plus sound treatment and various finishing touches which
were not done about a decade
ago when the building was converted from the Campus Laboratory School. However, the
bids canie in about 50 percent
above budget. Mrs. Williams
said a study will be made in
conjunction with the KLLM
Architects of Waupaca to find
ways to reduee the project so a .
new round of bidding will result
in Qffers to do the work within
budget constraints.
Mrs. Williams said plans are
being made to add a few new
stalls in nearby lots to compensate for the loss of parking
spaces that will result from the
-l andscaping.
The ventilating project in the
Science Hall carries a $189,000
budget, to be done primarily in
the chemistry department.
The Fine Arts Center lighting
and ventilating will be done in
the art department.
Three projects have been approved and are in design. They
are the landscaping and parking lot development in the area
extending from the back of Old
Main Btillding to the University
Center; ventilating in the
Science Building; and ventilating and lighting in the Fine Arts
Center. About $200,000, part of
which will be defrayed by revenues from the sale of parking
permits, is budgeted for the
parking lot and pedestrian mall
behind Old Main. The work will
begin next May.
There will be 92 stalls in the
parking section, about 20 fewer
than are currently in the lot.
However, there will be new
green areas with shrubs, flowers, trees and grassy plots.
Sidewalks will connect Old
Main, the University Center,
Park Student Services Building
and Communication Arts Center; bike racks will be installed; picnic tables and
benches will be added. Landfill
will be brought in to create variations in levels.

The 2000 non-traditional students at UWSP are part of a
national trend. In fact, by 1990
experts predict that 50 percent
of the college population will
consist of students sho have experienced a break in their education or are beginning an education and are over 25 years of
age.
Martha St. Germaine, Coordinator of the Non-traditional Student Services Office; has seen
the population of non-traditional
students nearly double in the
three years since she came to
UWSP. She said, "It used to be
that people stayed in the same
job for their entire lifetime.
Now it is common to have three
or four career changes. There
are three main reasons why
adults choose to go back to
school. First is because of a career change. Adults are dissatisfied with their present position
and are looking for something
better. Second, they are hoping
to climb further up the ladder
in their present field. And others go back to school simply for
th~ love of learning."
A good example of the love of
learning is Bill Harford who at
the age of 62 is working toward
his degree in Political Science
and Public Administration. Harford took an early retirement
from his job as · a stockbroker
and moved to Stevens Point to
complete a degree which he
started 44 years earlier.
"I never did get my degree
when I was younger because I
goofed around and- played
around too much," Harford
said. "My biggest reason for
coming back to school was for
the personal satisfaction of getting a degree. I've really
enjoyed it."
"The most common problem
non-trad students face is
fear. They are afraid they can't
do it. They fear that traditional
students and instructors will
treat them differently. They
fear math," Jean Gerhard, a
peer advisor, said. "But they
usually become adjusted to
campus life within one semester
and they find they like it."
th~t
The Non-traditional Student ·
Services Office offers assistance
with any question or concern a
non-traditional student may
have. St. Germaine calls the office a "referral resource".
"Our office is a ·good place to
start. If we can't help you, we'll
try to find someone who can,"
said St. Germaine. With the
help of five peer advisors who
are themselves non-traditional
students, The -Non-traditional
Student Services Office provides
information on placement exams, entrance requirements,
and answers to many other
questions.
Non-traditional students with
questions are encouraged to

academics, learning to balance
academics with extracurricular
activities is not a skill taught at
most universities. Colorado
State University is trying to
teach students how to find that
balance by carrying their education beyond the classroom
and into the residence halls.
.
Monday thru Friday during cock-tail hour ··
The CSU Office of Housing
and Residence Education has~
created the Academic Commit. tee for Excellence (ACE) in an
effort to help students living in
the residence halls perform better in claass. According to Hedy
Berman, a CSU admilustrator,
ACE coordinates programs with
staff members in each hall to
promote quiet hours, study
groups, test files, class rosters
and honorary and recognition
clubs. ACE also offers workshops in the halls on such topics
as time management, textbook
"The r~cently published and
distributed Grade BooJter, an
academic resource booklet, contains study tips and a short narrative about each agency on
campus that offers academic
help," Berman says. "And another program, the Faculty Fellows Program, is designed to increase faculty involvement with
students outside the classroom
setting through such activities
as dining with residents, attending hall meetings, social programs or other hall events, and
participating in recognition ceremonies or informal small
group activities."
So far, the program is considered a success: "Colorado State
has recognized the benefits of
balancing acadenucs and residence hall living," Says Berman, "and ·ACE is working for
the students to help them gain
more from their college experience."

Comparable worth encounters stumbling block:
Women must be persuaded first
/
Comparable worth-the concept that people in equally demanding jobs should receive
equivalent wages- has been a
tough sell.
Advocates argue that wages
in occupations dominated by
women have been kept artific, ially low because, historically,
women's labor has been undervalued.
But their efforts to gain equity for women could founder,
suggests a recent report, unless
_ women themselves begin believing they are worth as much as
men.
Psychologist Brenda Major
and research associate Blythe
Forcey recruited 51 undergraduate men and women for brief
part-time work, telling them
that each would be assigned to
O)le of three equally demanding
jobs: one traditionally performed by men, one traditionally dominated by women dr one
held equally often by both
sexes. Their pay, the students
were told, would depend on
which job they got and how well
they did it.
·
In fact, all the students
worked at the same task, using
information such as Scholastic
Aptitude Test scores, high
school grades and activities to
predict other students' success
in college. After completing the
work the students were asked
how well they did and how
much PaY they expected.
Regardless of which job they
were supposedly assigned to,
women thought they should
have earned only $1.93 for the
15 minutes of work, compared
with an average of $2.31 expected by men. And prior to com-
pleting the work, those students reference point probably .Jteeps

Gary Althen, a foreign student adviser at Iowa State U.,
says using the term "foreign
student" for students from
other countries masks important distinctions-country of origin, age, sponsorship, field of
study, pe_rsonal goals, and so
on. Because all these distinctions are important, understanding and serving the needs
of foreign students-what they
want from us-is a complex
matter.
But what do we want from
them? We do want something,
after all. Our times are charac. terized by an increasingly global economic interdependence,
b diminishing resotirces and
~vironmental qualicyt, and by
heated political differences. At
some point, the problems of setting policy and creating programming to deal with. cultural

Most educators agree that
what we want, whether we
always recognize it or not, is
the opportunity to foster _the
rich international climate and
perspective .necessary for trQe
higher education in this interdependent world.
Hugh Jenkins, of the National
Association for Foreign Students: "Today, I think you will
find a general agreement that
the international element in
education can no long.er be
treated as a supplement. Providing an internationally oriented education is now seen as
essential if we are to prepare
our students adequately for the
world of the 1990s."
Ivan Putnam, Jr., Director of
the Central Office of International Programs at the State U.
of New York, says, "It is the
task of education the world over
,to provide the basic knowledge
of peoples, their cultures and
their inter-relationships, if mankind is to survive. While this
may seem an overstatement,
many of the world's leaders and
thinkers are convinced that it is
a basic reality, and the main
reason for giving international
education very high priority."

Wisbonsin Public Radio
opens new bureau here
Managers of the Wisconsin
Public Radio Network were in
Stevens Point the first week of
August to announce the opening
of a new bureau which will originate local news and public
affairs programming.
Erin Davisson, most recently
a reporter and news show
anchor person for WSAW-TV,
Channel 7 in Wausau, was introduced as the new bureau chief
and local announcer/reporter.
The bureau is headquartered
at UWSP in the Communication
Arts Building on Reserve
Street. Ms. Davisson will have a
studio within the UWSP student
radio station.
She said she will be utilizing
student interns from the university in gathering news from
throughout Central Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Public Radio is,
according to Associate Director
Jack Mitchell, in the process of
restructuring its operations and
providing a new local news
component with studios in Menomonie, Stevens Point, Appleton, Green Bay as well as in its
Madison headquarters.
Announcers in each of those
places will be hostiDg "Morning
Edition" programs, adding their
own segments to reports and
features produced in Washington, D.C., by National Publi!!
Radio and in Madison by Wisconsin Public Radio.
~. Davisson will be . heard
about 15 minutes each hour during "Morning Editions" on
WLBL 93-AM which is a transmitting outlet in Aubemdale as
well as WHRM 90.9-FM transmitting from Wausau.

bad ·for you
College Press Service
CPS-With Nautilus machines
in the school gym, salad bars in
the cafeteria and smoke-free
areas in every student lounge, it
might seem college life has never been healthier.
But one enterprising professor
has found a new health hazard
on campus.
It's that book-laden backpack
you've been hefting over one
shoulder all these years, says
. Ron Sendre, a Central Michigan
University professor of sports
medicine.
"Knock-down shoulder" is
only one of the maladies.Sendre
ascribes to the overuse and misuse of the popular book packs
seen on every American campus.
How can the innocent packpack, symbol of outdoor lifestyles, wreak such devastation
on unsuspecting college students?
"A heavy backpack changes
your center of gravity,''says ·
Sendre. '.'Your abdominal area
is thrust forward, and your
shoulders are brought posterior." ''Then a kid will carry that
backpack for six, eight .minutes
across campus to his next
class." In other words, he's got
lousy posture while carrying a
mega-load of textbooks, and
according to Sendre, "there's
bourid to be lots of repercussions."
Besides knock-down shoulder-a drooping shoulder caused by

heroes and heroines?

!'~~'l<
slung over one shoulder-backpacks can cause swayback,
shoulder tension, headaches,
even nerve damage.
There is a simple remedy.
"Lighten the load is the best
advice I can giv:e,"the professor
says. But if one's credit load demands carting 30 pounds of
Organic Chemistry texts, the
Unabridged Works of Shakespeare and a jumbo box of
Crayolas for art class, Sendre
suggests wearing the pack the
way it was designed to be worn.
"I've never seen a backpack
with just ·one strap,'' he says.
Yet that's the way most students wear them.
"Rather than taking the time
to throw both straps on, they
just throw on one."
But even a properly balanced
pack can be a problem for the
out-of-shape student. So Sendre
recommends a complete workout program with weight
machines, adding that exercises
for flexibility are equally impor-
tant.
But if all this seems like more
health consciousness than one
can handle, another study offers
a rationale for at least one "bad
habit."
Cigarette smoking may enha9ce students' ability to study,
a group of British· scientists
says. The researchers found
that nicotine, either from cigarettes or pills, increased concentration by eight percent and
kept minds sharp for up to a
baH hour.

What do Mother Teresa and
Marilyn Monroe have in common? Both were chosen by students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as their heroines.
,
But neither came close to
winning the number-one hero
spot, which went to mom and
dad.
Psychologist' Frank Farley
asked 340 college students to
rank their top five heroes and
heroines and then compiled the
most popular choices. The overwhelming winners were the students' parents.
Moms got six times as many
first- place votes as did any
other heroine, and dads got
twice as many as any other
hero.
Some of the other top choices
for hero were Jesus Christ,
. John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Clint Eastwood.
Mother Teresa was a top contender for heroine, along with
Jane Fonda, Amelia Earhart,
Marilyn Monroe and Madonna.
The fact that so many people
consider their parents heroes,
Farley says, suggests that the
family is in better shape than
many people think.
Women were more likely than
men were to name their parents
as their heroes. In addition, women's choices for -heroines were
much more likely to include feminists such as Jane Fonda, Susan B. Anthony and Geraldine
Ferraro, while men's choices
tended to include glamour figures such as Christie Brinkley,
Madonna and Marilyn Monroe.
When Farley asked elementary school children who their heroes and heroines were, mom
and dad again came out number one. But the children's
other choices revealed a somewhat less sophisticated world
view than that of their college
counterparts. ·
Superman, Supergirl and Hulk
Hogan were other top contenders.
Farley believes that heroes
are not necessarily synonymous
with role models. "A' hero is
someone who does something to
make the world better, it's not
necessarily someone you aspire
to be."
Who are Farley's personal heroes? His parents, of course.
Farley is at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.

I've just finished reading a
fascinating book about women
and madness by .Elaine Showalter called The Female Malady
(Pantheon, 1986).
It's a history of sorts: an examinati,on of women's mental
disorders-what they were and
how they were treated in society during the last 150 years.
And if you think that's a pretty
obscure topic, with not a whole
- lot of relation to your own life,
think again. Showalter may be
examining English culture, but
she could just as easily be talking about our own.
What she's really writing
about are men and women, and
about what happens when one
sex is empowered.to control the
other.(Empowered even to determine whether members of
that opposite sex are sane or
mad. And then, if it's decided
they are, empowered further to
lock them up in places that
would drive even a sane person
to madness.)
This is a deeply troubling,
enraging book-for the stories it
tells, and the questions it raises.
Because in the process of exploring madness, the author is
.also considering just what constitutes sanity: what is normal,
in other words, and whether
madness (traditionally believed
to afflict far more women than
men) ,results from women's in~
nate emotional fragility, or
whether it is simply a response
to a society which has, over the
years, denied women independence, choice and self-respect.
Partly, then, in Showalter's
c book is a feminist history of
psychiatry, and as such, it
stands as a catalog of atrocities: stories of women judged
insane because they refused
marriage proposals, judged insane because they sought out a
higher education, judged insane
because they cared too little for
their appearance or because
somewhere along the line the
endless requirements of docility
and subservience became too
much, and they cracked or exploded.

If you picked A, C and D, you're destined for great things.
Like AT&r Long Distance Service. AT&r offers so many terrific
values. Like a 40% to over 50%- discount off our day rate on night,
evening, and weekend out-of-state calls.
Imagine what you'll do with the money you could save.
Imagine what your parents would do if they found out.
Of course, you can count on AT&r for clear long distance
connections any place you call. And AT&r gives you
immediate credit for wrong numbers.
To find out more about why you
should choose AT&£ give us a call.
And if you picked Band E, call anyway. You could probably use someone
