Parking ·fees, fines increased
~--------~--------------------------------~~~~--~
Bernie Bleske
, Editor
Despite last year's student
objections the faculty senate
voted M~y 6 to increase parking
fees and fines, although now
both students and faculty will
pay. The greatest increases
occurred among parking fees,
with a $9 raise for faculty and a
$14 _raise for students.
The increases came as a result of a proj~ted $29,000 Parking Service deficit, as well as a
sorely depleteq Parking Service
account, and will raise a projected $72,000. The higher student fees are to balance a 1981
facul~y increase of $5, thus
making recertt increases equal
among staff and students. •
Earlier last year Parking Services introduced a proposal to
increase only student rates by
80 to ·100 percent. That proposal
met considerable opposition
among both ~dents and faculty and was changed. · .
According to Kathy Wachowiak, Director of University
Parking, the increases were for
other reasons as well. First,
parking attendant salaries were
· recenUy transferred to University Parking. Second, because
of a recent audit, Parking must
now pay for snow plowing.
Third, since the Parking'
accounts have been depleted,
and since University Parking
relies heavily on the interest of
those accounts (now not
enough), the deficits have, in
effect, been snowballilig. And
fourth, there was not enough
money to complete many capital projects underway.
Some of those projects werecompleted this s~er. The
Old Main renovation plan (engineered out of Madison and only
partly funded by University
Parking - about $75,000) has
nearly been completed. The new
parking lots and sidewalks are
finished but plans to install
shrubbery around the area have
been delayed. Wachowiak says
that the plan is having some financial problems but also that

Plain Truth
..
Hello dummies.
this is a university - and .half the general, degree ·
classes are taught at a high school level. Basic necessities, such as math and English, have not been mastered by a good number of the students..
We really are quite stupid.
Our test scores .have been steadily declining since_
the 60's. While more of us than ever before are going
to college, the quality and worth of that education is
~bymml.
..
Something is very, very wrong here.
We Americans are so proud of our intelligence that
we will do anything to save it - even if that means
dressing up the dead (or dumb). Several years ago a
, few states, alarmed at the dismal quality of their secondary education systems, gave mandatory tests to
their teachers. Seventy-five to ninety percent of the
teachers failed. So the states made up a new test and
this time only fifty to sixty percent failed. They may
be on the third test now.
The University may be reacting much the ~e
way. Rather than admit to underprep~ed incoming
students, the University simply makes the classes
easier - and easier - and easier.
We don't want admit that we aren't as smart 1as
we used to be.
'
Perhaps "smart" and "dumb" are innaproriate
words. They- sound final. But then "underprepared"
is the kind of word that has ,allowed the University to
lower both its standards and the kind of education we
recieve.

There's more to this, I think, and so: Next week The Business of Education (in which we get at who
really is to blame .for it all)
This editorial is called Plain Truth. And the plain
trp.th is that you people out there, most of-you reading this de'spite being the cream of American youth
, (being fn COLLEGE and all), despite that, most of
you are stupid. Dumb. Unintelligent.
That's right. Stupid.
In fact, smart people have been screaming a~ut
your stupidity in your faces for years and you're Just
plain too damn dumb to even know.
Well here vie are. No more smart person subl;lety.
I'm tired of all this hypocritically nice beating around
the bush.
.
You're dumb. You're idiots.
Some of you are thinking "this is a joke, right?"
with these guilty, half-assed smile~ on your faces:
Wipe 'eni off.
.
I'm serious here. Very serious. No jokes. You are
not intelligent people. Admit it.
Hey - quiz time,
How many of you are in math 50? Math 100?
How many C or belows in chemistry out there?
And how's that English class going? Writing

Most of you out there don't ·really believe I'm insulting you. You're looking over at the bozo with all
the mousse in his hair and thinking "yeah, now that
guy is dumb!"
.
This editorial could take an expectedly cute turn. It
could come around and say: teachers and parents
and everyone else out there assume you're ·dumb, but
you're not. Then it could end with some sappy moral
ending about believipg in yourself.
I kind of had that intention when I started this
thing, but I got to thinking.

I got to thinking about how many people reap.y. d()

about all those people who had to struggle, really
struggle, to keep up with physics 101 or English 10~ classes that rehash what should have been taught in
high school.
The struggling isn't so bad, I've had my share, but

spastic past. You plan a million things, have a beer, fall asleep, and it's over. And you're back.
But it's not the same place you left. Campus activity didn't altogether stagnate, even "if you
did.. A few sadomas:ochists do this thing year-round, and listed below are some of the recent happerungs:

Justus PaJ steps in to fill Thoyre's former office. As the new dean of the college of Letters

will develop educational programs, diagnostic testing, and intervention/treatment services. He
succeeds Stuart Whipple, who went condo and established a private counseling service. Whipple
will assist the university one day a week for the coming year.
Computing-Corporate partnership strike& again this time in the swruner. On July 15, UWSP
and Innovative Software Incorporated (lSI) formally tied the computer-cable knot, with a partnership agreement to enhance campus computing and a purchase order to buy $100,000 worth of
lSI software, Better known to UWSP students as the much-debated SMART package, the eleven
disk system is part ot a plan to develop a comprehensive computing environment on campus.
Faculty have been encouraged to incorporate SMART into class curriculums, and students registered for these computer-enhanced courses found a free SMART manual available in the University Book Store this fall for the first time. The ISIIUWSP agreement allows Academic Computing to install a copy of SMART on every_university-owned personal computer. It also bought
1,000 additional copies of the program that students can in turn purchase from Academic Computing for $50. Text rental reserves will fork out the necessary $100,000. UW System Administra- ·
tion rejected 'UWSP's request for a text rental fee increase to pay for the project this summer
when campus budgets were reviewed. For students, this means one less· fee increase to worry
about.
/
Also on the computing scene is the Student Information System (SIS) being developed for the
Student Life sector of the university. The $1.7 million project sbo\J].d, according to Student Life
administrators, computerize admissions and registration, streamline financial aid procedures,
and organize all of a student's records to allow for one- touch-of-a-button access. The project is
partially funded by a $200,000 University Center reserve fund loan. The loan, which is unprecedented and made up of student fee monies, is to be paid back in six years with seven percent interest.
Hazardous Was~UWSP i$ still taking "small steps," according to UWSP hazardous waste
coordinator Steven Wright, in the removal of the school's roughly 500 pounds of hazardous waste '
on campus. A project to remove waste from all wiiversity campuses was formally begun Nov.
20. The UWSP campus had its first collection this summer. Wright says the amount collected
was neither most of the waste currently stored nor a very small amount. "It was somewhere in
between," says Wright. Currently, the waste is temporarily stored in a chemistry stockroom and
in the maintenance building. Wright does not know when the next pick up is scheduled for
UWSP. He says 'schedules for pick up-are <!Ontrolled by system administration.

Financial aid
·scene brightens
by Scott Huelskamp
Staff Reporter
The amount of financial .aid to
UWSP students has increased in
some areas but decreased in
others in comparison to last
year's figures.
There were two changes in
the qualifications for loans. Before, in order to qualify as an
independent an individual had
to earn $4,000 or more over the
past two years, not including
student loans. But the phrasing
of student loans not to be included with the $4,000 was unclear., so the government
changed the definition to include loans, thus putting some
over the peak, making them independent and eligible for
funas.
The second difference concerns Pell Grants, outright allocations from the federal government to individuals which do
not have to be paid back. Because the program is fully funded this year there is a jump
from $3.6 million to $4 million in
available funds.
·
Pell Grant recipients have
dropped slightly from last year.
1,931 students received $3.06
million in 1986 but only $2.6 million has been given out thus far
to 1,790 st)ldents from the biggest grant program.
Phillip George, director of 'the
office of Financial Aids, offered
an explanation for the decline.
"Reduced enrollment had something to do with it, but actually
there are less people available
for Pell Grants, and there are
still those who are not applying."
The number of loan applica-
tions, as of August 1, has
dropped slightly from 6,641 in
1986 to 6,308 this year. George
expects that figure to grow to
eight thousand by the end of the
year.
.
"It is underStandable that less
people are applying this year,''
said' George. "Letters 8ent out

- Since 1950 the suicide rate
for this age group tripled. Nearly 1,700 kill themselves each

suicide is not like the diphtheria

A message from the past1ure-
Junk Jarvis
/
To the Editor:
I am writing to further
expand on an article that
appeared ~in the Pointer last
week. There were a few events
... that were mistakenly left out.
In late August, Mr. Jarvis
came to Stevens Point to meet
with various people on campus.
He concluded his visit with a
short press conference. The students who attended this forum
agreed he w.as not the student
meant to represent over 160,000
students on the university's
highest governing board. He did
not have a diverse background
of student issues and lacked the
knowledge of the format of the
university system.
On the 23rd of September, students on our campus and
throughout the state will be able
"to voice their concerns before
the Senate Education Committee. They will have a public
hearing at UWSP on the issue
of confirming the governor's appointment of Mr. Jarvis. Also,
during the week of the 14th petitions will be circulated to show
oppOsition.
It is important the governor
realize that a well versed student should be a representative
on the prestitious and powerful
Board of Regents. Pres'sure
should be put upon him to appoint someone who has. the '
backing of his peers. I urge you
to get involved with this campaign to further your student
rights.

Wyman began his.career as a "

his love for radio once again
three and one half years ago because his interest in satellites

"It has not been rewarding fi. nancially yet, but when I sold
myself on it, I didn't expect it
to pay for 3-5 years.
"Like oth~ things in life, if you
want a quick profit, you have to
ask yourself if it's worth it.
When I give motivational
speeches, I use an example of a

opportunity. I insist on that type
of optimism and commitment."

Wiscorfsin' s Dove
~
Birp of
by Chris l.)orsey
Outdoors Editor
Again this fall, as it has been
. for decades, Illinois hunters will
don camouflage shooting vests
and lace-up leather boots as
they make a time-honm:ed pilgrimage to fields of sunflowers
and wheat.
Their quest? Mourning doves.
Many ·of them are doves hatched and r-aised right here in Wisconsin, but which migrate south
only to be'hunted in every state
5outh of Wi.scoJlsin and in Mexico.
I
That's a fact that has people
like Kenosha pative Bill Cress
fuming mad. I cannot understand why we're being _denied a
dove hunting season in Wisconsin, say Cress, especially when
there 'isn't a single shred of bi~
logical eviden~ with which to
oppose a season. Aren't the rest
of our hunting seasons set based
on biological evidence, questions Cress. · 1
He says people who oppose a
dove hunt typically don't know
anything aboui the dove and its
biology that he says most ~
ple are totally unaware of.
Lik~ · the fa~ that Wisconsin
produces over 12 million doves
a year, accorlfing to U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service estimates. To
put . this in perspective, says
Cress, there are well over 10
~es as many doves raised in
Wisconsin as all waterfowl species combin~d. In another
,study, quotes Cress, it was
-learned that a major reduction
peace~
or sacred cow?
of hunting kill is not likely to
result in an overall annual increase in dove numbers, simply
because most doves die from
causes other than shooting.
He says that Wisconsin hunters are being denied the right to
hunt doves because of the em~
tional pleas of a small, but v~
cal group of anti-hunters. "H
you liste~ to the arguments
anti-hunters use against a Wisconsin dove season," says
Cress, "you'll soon 1~ that
they are grossly ignorant about
doves and dove biology. Few. of
these antis realize, he says, that
doves are incredibly prolific
game birds that raise several
clutches of chicks in a single
summer, or that according to
another Fish & Wildlife Service
study, 75 percent of all doves
die each year whether a single
shot is fired or not.
Cress feels doves could be a
particularly attractive game
bird to hunters in south and
south-eastern Wisconsin where
intensive agriculture has all but
eliminated pheasant populations. Many~rtsmen, he says,
are tired of hunting hard only to
wind-up going home empty
handed. Cress wonders what the
sporting future will be like for
kids who grow up having little
reason to go hunting.
As for those who oppose a
Wisconsin dove hunt, says
Cress; "why not open a oneyear experimental hunt in one
or two southern Wisconsin counties to simply study the effects
huntirlg will have on Wisconsin
doves?" Cress 'has formed a sides of the issue and is likely

Signs of apptoaching autumn
are ·appearing with some leaf

in Rusk County, and there is .
·excellent smallmouth action on

Farther south in the west central counties, panfish are hitting
in · the Trempealeau area and
trout streams are ideal for fishing. Wild turkeys and ruffed
grouse broods are being seen in
good numbers in the c~ulee
country of the La Crosse area.
Trout fishing is improving with
the cooler temperatures. The
Mississippi River is at normal
water levels and fishing remains good.
In north central Wisconsin,
gOod catches of walleyes are
coming from below the Nekoosa
dam on the Wisconsin River.
Large flocks of ducks can be
seen in fields in the Antigo
area. Walleyes continue to bite
on Woodruff area lakes and
blackberries there are in their
final stages. Migrating songbirds are gathering for the trip
south for the winter.
In the northeast, there was

of the catch. Trout and salmon

Recyding begins paying off
MADISON, WI-Prices paid
for· recycled materials in Wisconsin are the highest they've
been- for - ~e past few years,
according to a · recent market
analysis done by Wisconsin Department. of Natural Resources'
recycling staff.
The market now is especially
good for aluminwn, newsprint,
corrugated cardboard, glass
containers, plastic milk bottles
and car batteries. John Reindl,
DNR recycling coordinator, reports that recycling companies
are paying good prices for aU
materials except waste oil.
"The recycling market is very
good right now, "said Reindl.
'Prices should remain relatively
stable for the next few.
months." Aluminum prices
range from about $0.38/lb in
Green Bay to $0.40/lb ·in Madison and $0.47/lb in Racine.
These prices are nearly d~uble
the prices paid earlier this
year.
Prices for aluminwn have
been fluctuatipg lately according to listings in the Wall Street
Journal. Reindl does not expect
prices to climb now that swnmer is ending and demand for
soft drinks and beer lessens.
Aluminwn markets should stay
strong, though, due to the high
energy costs of mining bauxite
compared to recycling aluminwn scrap.
Car · batteries, which contain
lead, are now bringj.ng good
prices compared to last year
when, Reindl noted, '.'you
couldn't give them away." In
fact, some companies are competing for batteries. One Madison recycler is paying
$0.25/battery, while in Racine
car batteries may bring as
much as $1.24/each.
"The price of lead may fall 1"
noted Reindl. "People would be
wise to sell batteries now and
not wait for prices to rise. I'd
offer that .same advice for , alu-
Newsprint prices are about
$35- $40/ton on the Chicago
Board, some of the highest
prices quoted in almost three
years. Reindl pointed out that
paper prices tend to fluctuate
widely, reflecting the general
health of the economy and the
strength of the U.S. dollar.
main stable, according to ·information Reindl received. A Burlington, Wisconsin company
pays $50/ton for glass ($55/ton
if it comes from more than 75
miles awaY:).
·
The strong market for recyclables, especially newsprint, aluminwn and lead, follows in part
from the decreased value of the
U.S. dollar in world markets.
Foreign materials are becoming
relatively expensive compared
to those available in the United
States.
Prices for glass in northeast
Illinois are reaching $75/ton. Aq
intermediate broker in La
Crosse pays $40/ton; most other
Wisconsir) companies pay about
$10/ton for glass.
Corrugated cardboard is
bringing $65/ton, the highest
price seen for · several years.
Reindl believes the market for
conilgated cardboard will remain strong for a few more
Glass prices are up compared months as companies build into previous years and should re- . ventories for the Christmas sea-
son.
The ·plastic milk bottle market has also improved, wipt bottles _bringing $0.04-$0.05/lb.
Larger collectors, such as community groups or municipalities, have in some cases been
· able to negotiate contracts with
companies that pay up to
$0.10/lb. for plastic milk containers.
The market for plastic soda
bottles is not strong, according
. to Reindl, although some Wisconsin companies wilt' take
them.
With prices in general as high
as they are now, this is a good
time for large collectors to contract with companies. ·Reindl

Reindl also noted that prices

where in the state Jhe company

paid for newsprint may vary
according to how they'll be used

_Legion World
Series chaf!~pS
by Karen Kulinski
Sports Editor
There may not have been any
apple pie, but hot dogs and
baseball were in abundance this
past week at Bukolt Park.
·Stevens ·Point had the honor
of hosting the 1987 American
Legion World Series in which
eight teams from across the
country participated. In the
end, Boyertown, PA., reigned as
the cbam~ions with a 12-6 win
over Vancouver, WA., in the title game.
Boyertown, after losing its
opening round game to Midwest
City, OK., came back to win the
title. No other team since 1977
has ever won the championship
after losing its first game.
The Bears concluded their
season going 5-1 in the tourney
while boasting an outstanding
overall mark of 60-13. Vancou. ver went 3-2 in the Series and
concluded its season at 51-25.
- Boyertown head coach Dave
Specht knew why his team won
the title.
"We try to play the best competition we can on the east
coast," he said. "We travel to
five different states and that's
essential.
"This team had more leadership than any other team I've
ever' had. The most important
thing is that this team can play
defense. The guys played gutsy
baseball. The team believed in
themselves. They knew what it
would take to win and they had
the mental discipline. There
may have been more talented
teams, but this team had the
leadership."
Specht, who is a ' real estate
insurance broker in the off-season, has been involved with the
Legion program for 15 years
and has been head coach for the
past ·two seasons. Boyertown
also won the title in 1982 when
Specht was an assistant.
Plans are already Underway World Series which iS set for
for the 1988 American Legion Sept. 1-5 in Middletown, CT.

PORTLAND, OR - Despjte a
lopsided final score of 33-7, the
UW-Stevens. football team
played well in Its 11ea80n opener
against Portland State University here at the Portland Civic
StadiUII_l.
The Vikings of PSUha Division n school who· were rated
9th in the -first NCAA ll poll,
took advantage Iof poor Pointer

to mount a 12-0. advantage at intennission. ·.
Following a 47-yard Mike Erickson punt that was downed on
· the Pointer five yard line,
Anthony Spears, a 6-6, 260
pound defensive end broke
through the - Pointer line and
gave the Vikings a 2-0 lead with
9:29 remaining the first quarter when he tackled Pointer
halfback Theo Blanco in . his
own end zone.
The Pointers were able to
force PSU to punt with 6: 28 left
in the _opening quarter, thanks
to two .clipping penalties and a
delay of game infraction on the
third down.
UW-SP then mounted its best
drive of the half, again starting
back deep in its own territory
at the nine. A 30-yard pass com/ pletion to Bldnco gave the
Pointers some breathing room
and after a timeout, sophmore
quarterback Kii;k Baumgartner
hit Blanco again for 13 yards
and a first down .to the Viking

Clark and third down conver·sion by Blanco off a three yard
pass pushed the .ball to the Viking 35. Two passes to wide receiver Jim Prince moved the
ball to the 17 -before Baumgartner, under heavy pressure, was
intercepted by linebacker Scott

Following a 31-yard punt and
a 10-yard return by Eaton, the
Vikings started their scoring

plays later the defense held and
forced the Vikings to settle for
· a ·23-yard Erickson field goal at
the 7: 24 mark of the second
quarter. PSU now led 5-0.
And that looked like the last
score of the baH, but the Vikings, with just over a minute tO
play in the baH, turned to allleague quarterback Chris Craw.ford. And the smooth southpaw
delivered. Faced with a third
down · and 21 to go situation at
the Pointer 33, the junior signal
caller, under pressure from the
likes of Craig Ewald and Bill

Awards ceremonies close · series
by Craig Roberts
Sports l!dormatioiJ DepartmeiJt
With the close of the 62nd
·annual. American .Legion World
Series came the familiar
awards ceremonies. After the
championship awards went to
Boyertown, Pa. and the second
place honors to Vancouver,
Wash., theindividual awards
were presented.
The first award given ·was the
James F. Daniels, Jr. Memorial
Sportsmanship award.
The most famous of the 32
winners of the award is Baltimore Oiioles pitcher Mike Boddicker of .Cedar Rapids, Iowa in
1976. The 1987 award went to
Vancouver Cardinal catcher
Brett Blechschmidt.
The second award was the
16th Rawlongs Big Stick Award,
presented to the player accumulating the most total bases in
regional and national play.
.There was a tie for this year's
award between Boyertown's
Jeff Seymour and Vancouver's
Tad Thompson.
"I can't take all the credit
myself," said Seymour. "The1
coaches and God helped a lot. I
pray before every at bat."
Seymour, however, is known
more for a good glove and tremendous arm in left field than
a "big stick." "Rick Moatz has
a lot to do with that," Seymour
said of his defensive play. "All
three coaches work together
and talk about how they· want
things done but he, basically,
has the fdeas. A lot of our practices are just on defense and he
comes out and shows us how to
do everything properly."
The Bob Feller· pitching
award was presented for the
loth time this year. The award
is given to the pitcher with the
most strikeouts, in regional and
national competition. New York
Mets pitcher Sid Fernandez,
who pitched Honolulu, HI. to
the 1980 title, heads the. list of
nine pitchers who have previously won the award and van~
couver Cardinals' pitcher Stan
Spencer, who·will head to Stanford to pitch for the Cardinals
there, won the 1987 award with
40 strikeouts.
The Dr. Irvin L. · (Click)
Cowser Memorial RBI Award
was next on the list in the
awards ceremony and the 18th
annual award went to Midwest
City, Okla., catcher Greg Blevisn, who knocked in 14 runs. ·.
The American Legion Battiilg
Champion was also from Midwest City. Tbe' most famous
winner of the Louisville Slugger
Trophy is Major League Baseball's career save leader Rollie
Fingers who led Upland, ·CA to
the 1964 title. Brad Dolesji was
presented with the 1987 award
after hitting .432.
The Jack Williams Memorial
Adult Leadership Award, presented annually to the coaches
of the J!8tional champions, was
given to Boyertown head coach
Dave Specht and assistantcoach Rick Moatz.
The final award presented
was the George W. Rulon
American Legion Player of the
Year Award, presented this
year by Rulon himself. The win. ner's picture is mounted on ·a
plaque and placed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Boyertown's Willie S~ut joins
such baseball greats as Fingers,
Russ Nixon, the youngest player
to ever play in the Major
Leagues, and Dave Magadan,
the NCAA's single-season home
run record- holder who played
for Oklahoma State and is now
with the New York Mets, as ihe
winner of the award.
"This is the greatest feeling
I've ever ;Md," said Stout, who '
played for the Temple Owls this
past spring, after the ceremonies. "This is the greatest
bunch of guys I've ever been
around.
"I really tried to play well defensively. My main job is to
play*good d~ and the rest
of tlie team does the hitting. I
was just fortunate to . have a
good tournament hittiilg. I see
myself providing the team with
good defense and leadership.
This is the greatest. award I've
ever received. This is just a
great bunch of guys to play
with."
Stout had many things to lie
happy about but he said that he
really liked playing in Stevens
Point. "I'd really like to thank
.the people of Stevens Point," he
said. "They are the nicest people to host a tournament that
I've ever beefi in."

TURNED FATAL when a Chaf- fey Coriununity College student

after he fired flashes of light
froin the toy gun at him.

MED GRADS TOSS STETHOSCOPES?Graduates of Harvard's School of Public Health
found their own, unique way to
-celebrate commencement: by
tossing condoms in _the air. Mter the ceremony was finished,
the grads shouted "condoms,"
and tossed the momentos, which
were inscribed "Harvard School
~ of Public Health Class of 1987"
and "Ad Venerem Securiorem,"
Latin for "safe selt."
WHERE'S THE SHREDDER
WHEN YOU NEED IT? Police
officials have arrested the Cypress College's (Cal.) print shop
' supervisor on suspicion of counterfeiting after school janitors
found some $49,000 in phony $20
bills in the shop. But he may
have been just "fooling around"
on the press -a recent purchase .
-rather than intending to print
fake money, says one school official. FBI officials believe that
no phony bills were circulated.

The national campaign
against drug abuse has had little effect on campus, said 62%
of student leaders and 73% of
editors.
Still, a sizeable minority said
the campaign has had a positive impact. "It has led to educational programs . ... (Off-campus) counseling programs have
come in to help those in heed.
And it's led to a revised student
conduct code,"said 1one student
leader. Several said awareness
of the problem was higher,
thoilgh real impact was slight.
Sometimes the· anti-drug
abuse campaign had an unintended effect: "People who use
drugs are ii lot more discreet
about it now," said one editor.
Another wrote, "The 21-yearold drinking age 'has led to an
increase in the use of· other
·-:·
':

....~:-
Jrugs." In ·fact, many respondents ~d alcohol was the re8J.
problem. "We have an overwheming alcohol problem,'' said
one editor. And a student leader
from Maine wrote, "Alcohol is
our drug problem." Another
agreed drugs really weren'~ the
issue: "This is Wyoming, and
there is a lot of drinking that
takes place."
A school's location seemed to
play at least a small role in the
existence of campus campus
abuse problems. "There are
many students with drug problems attending this college. I
feel this is due to the major cities immediately surrounding
us," said a student leader.
Type of school, however,
proved more important. " Drug
use is minimal here, (despite)
the school's location," said an
editor from a private, technical
school in New York City. And
an editor from a Baptist college

·:: ·:~ ; .
wrote, "Alcohol and tobacco are
not even allowed on campus.
We have strict rules here."
But rules alone don't always
solve th~ problem. A student
leader from another Baptist col'lege said the school's. strict
rules "put any problems underground. This makes it hard to
help students who ·may have a
problem."
Students at ·a few non-religious schools also complained
about a lack of communication
and complained about a lack of
communication and information: "Drug use and abuse is an
· unmentioned topic in campus
discussions ... Gossip is the primary method of campus .com- ·
munications," said. one editor.
Another wrote, "Th~re obviously are some users because an
occasional O.D. death filters
through the grapevine. But getting news on the matter is ·
impossible. (There's) a real
'hush-up' attitude to protect the
family and the campus image." ~
More than one editor said officials seemed more concerned
with the school's reputation
than with student welfare. The
drug-testing of athletes is done
"more out of concern for preventing scandal ... than for the
well-being of athletes," said an
editor at a four-year public
school.
Some editors and student
leaders were cynical about the
campaign itself. Drug abuse-"is
a non-issue .. . it is now safely
buried until ,someone else dusts
it off," said one editor. "The
Drug War was election-hype._ Most likely there are the same
number of drug a busers as
there ever were," said another.
A student leader wrote; "Sub-stance abuse as a problem,
however legitimate, is being
highly overstated by our gov~
ernment for the purpose •of diverting public attention and
energy away from criticizing
government mismanagement."
An editotr agreed, "The hype
over this drug abuse issue is
merely a smokescreen to cover
government policy on far mo.re

You may be thinking about

save money.
Think again.
Since January 1987, AT&Ts
rates have dropped more than

you probably realize. For information oh specific rates, you

Pointers, from p. 17
Pointer coach D.J. LeRoy,
while upset with the loss,
tl)ought the Pdinters ~owed
some•encouraging signs.
"I thought Baumgartner
played very well, picking up
where he left off last season. He
did a nice job of scrambling
and had a a lot of balls dropped
that should have been caught.
"We have many positive
things to build off of," continued LeRoy. We have the ability
to move the ball but we need to
have better execution on the
part of the individuals who do
the scoring.
"We need to run better routes
and catch the ball. Our lines
proved we can hold our own
with anyone we will face all
·.
year."
LeRoy called the Vikings the·
best team the Pointers will face
all season.
I don't foresee us playing
anyone better than Portland
St.," he ·said. "They have outstanding people at the skill positions and superior depth. I'm
sure they will win their share of
games this year."
LeRoy also commented on the
areas which his team will work
on in preparation for another
strong opponent, St. Ambrose,
which opened with a 23-10 win
over UW-Eau Claire on Saturday.
"Our defense must fly to the
ball better and make the sure
tackle. But our defense was on
the field a long time (36:44)
compared to our offense (23:16)
and I'm sure that fatigue was a
factor."
LeRoy cited the plays of several Pointers in the game.
"I thought Ewald, Kolodziej
and Kevil) Deates played well
on defense and Bob Furlong had
a nice game for us on offense.
For freshman, Bob Bostad and
Craig Verhagen played nice
games."
The Pointers will face another
strong test at St. Ambrose as
well as another gap1e on astorturf. Two Pointers were injured
as a dir-ect result of the turf;
linebacker Steve Day, who
twisted a knee when he went to
stqp and change directions and
safety/punter Dan Dantoin, who
rolled an ankle at the end of a
play.
