DE)~-i----~
To skip or_'not to skip: a student dilemma
then continues:, "Habitual and excessive absence is
grounds for failure." What happened to trust? What
good are the choices?
Or this "More than three absences may negatively
affect your grade." Then again, they may not. Who
knows? And this one:"I consider every one of you in
here to be mature adults. However, I reserve the
right to alter grades based on attendance."
· You reserve the right? How? By virtue of your saying so? Is that like calling the front ~t?
Another argument that profs cling to goes something like, "Future employers, by God, aren't going
to put up with absenteeism." Well, let's take a reality
pill. I think most students can grasp the difference
between .cutting an occasional clasS, w:hich they paid
for, and cutting at work, when they're the ones on
salary. See, college students are capable of bi-level
thought control, nowadays. (It's all those computers.)
In summary, mandatory attendance should be abolished because:
1. It is irrelevant. Roughly the same number of students will either skip or attend, regardless of what a
piece of paper says. If the course is worth anythiilg.
2. It is ineffective. It automatically measures neither participation, ability, .or gained knowledge.
That's what tests are for. Grades are what you end
up knowing, not how many times you sat there to fig'
ure it out.
3. It is insulting. A college student is capable of determing a personal schedule, one that may or may
not always ineet with faculty wishes. An institution
committed-to the fostering of personal growth can not
operate under rules that patronize or minimize the
role an adult should claim for himself.
4. It is arbitrary. A prof. has no right and no ability
to factor in an unrealistic measure of performance. A
student should be penalized no more than what the
natural consequence of an absence is-the missing of
one day's direct delivery of material.
5. It abolishes free choice. By the addition of a 'factor that cannot be fought. We are not at a university
to learn conformity. As adults, we reserve the right
to choose as we see fit, even if we _choose badly.
Finally, I would ask faculty to consider this: We
have for some time upheld in this nation the sacred
principle of separation of church and state; i.e. You
are not God.
This is college, right? The four-year deal offering
\
growth, maturity, experience, and knowledge? A
place to be truly independent?
Because sometimes I can't tell. Sometimes this
place downright reeks of paternal instincts. Just ask
the freshmen and sophomores, who are by class rank
alone guaranteed two full years of twenty-four hour
supervision, orchestrated activities, and group showers.
But the forced dorm migration of underclassmen
· bas been bitched about before, to no avail. University
policy is, it seems, set in stone. It ranks right up .
there with in-grown toe nails for sheer evasion and
longevity.
But there's another university policy that has no
merit as a policy and no place in a university. Mandatory Attendance Policy: wherein faculty members
~ttempt the high school hall monitor-combination-college instructor maneuver. It's a difficult trick to justify as professors place the attendance percentage of
· their choice above a student's proven abilities on
graded material.
Profs rationalize out a lot of arguments to support
the policy. Participation is a popular one. I had a
professor whose methods for lQwering gra~es so irritated me I used to skip on purpose. He sa1d, "Classroom participation is a very important part of this introductory course. Obviously, if you are not present,
you cannot be participating."
Equally obvious, though not stated by the prof., is
the f~ct that one can be perpetually present but participate as little as one who is absent. So who's the
better student-the one who makes a meaningless
appearance, or the one who is busy with something
else?. And who gets the points docked?
The rest of his policy· was characteristically' vague,
mentioning that absences "could" result in a lower
grade. Constant ambiguity is the second big problem
with formal policies. It's tough for teachers to figure
out just how much to let attendance affect grade
point. So they doubletalk.
According to the UWSP catalog, f~culty are to provide "clear explanation" of attendance policy. Right.
Based on the language actually used, ninety-five percent of UWSP faculty are functionally incapable of
uttering a single binding statement. In an effort to
Qffend no one while retafnlng all power of action,
profs write things like (these are actual policies): "I
trust students to make their own judgements and
choices about coming, or not coming ·to class." But

The press release office· in

certain businesses must adhere
to a state wage increase,
whereas all places of employment must go along with a federal increase.
The proposal will be reintroduced at the fall floor period
October 6.
The United Council, which
works full-time lobbying state
legislators to pass student-related issues, said they will continue to work on the wage increase but it will not be one of
the 12 or 13 platform issues
. (agenda for the year).
"The wage increase was a
side issue at the time and not
debated heavily because Governor Thompson had already said
he intended to veto it," said
United Council President Adrian
Serrano.
"Although it is not a platform
issue we will continue to work
on it, discuss it with our Legislative Affairs Department and

H passed, the minimum wage
would increase from $3.35 an
hour to ·$3.55. The current state
and federal wage has not risen
in six years. In 1977 legislation
enacted gradually increased the
minimum wage from $2.30 to
$3.35, January 1, 1981.
The UWSP proposal says,
while tuition has increased
more than sixty percent since
1981, the buying power of the
minimum wage has dropped
nearly thirty percent due to inflation. Also, ninety percent of·
all UW students work at some
time during the year to help
pay the costs of their education.
Said Serrano, "We want to
encourage other university
SGA's to write proposal letters
for a wage hike."

Jerk? Goodbye
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter in re-sponse to the editorial · in the
Sept. 17 issue of the Pointer entilled, "Goodbye" and also the
article on page 10 by Mr.
Bleske. I think Mr. Bleske is
missing the point on why we
are here at college.
~me people on campus may
feel that students are just in
college to ge~ a degree, that
may be so for som~ people. The
smart student takes advantage
of all tht!_ various opportunities
· on campus, because this type of
student knows that learning
goes on all over campus, not
just in the books. In college we
find out what our strengths are
and how to enhance them and
what our weaknesses ate and
how to deal with them. When
we do this, we make the world
not only better for ourselves,
but also for other people as
well.
· In college we also learn to
work within a system. No, Mr.
Bleske, we don't need "cantankerous jerks" giving us ·a a lot
of lip service and no action.
What we do need is individuals
who will cooperate with each
other tactfully and diplomatically to promote change. If we've
done our best to actively produce change, we can rest easy
in the knowledge that we've
done our personal best.
Isn't that what school is
about-giving it our best intellectually, intrapersonally and
interpersonally? Isn't that whatlife is about?

Hill 937. The Screaming
Eagles. Hamburger Hill. Like
the other two Vietnam War movies of the season, Platoon and
Heavy Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill tries to capture the
actual circwnstances and drama of the time, place and people. Unfortunately, however,
this screenplay, for the most
part, never quite reaches that
goal.
While Hamburger Hill is
bloodier and far more graphic
than any other war movie I've
seen, (an effect which, in this
case, adds to the realism), it
lacks the kind of emotion and
depth of feeling a story needs to
really move its audience. I left
the theater almost disappointed
that I wasn't as upset as I
should have been. For those of
us who were too young to appreciate the power of the era,
Hamburger Hill doesn't do
enough to make us really
absorb the experience these
men lived.
Maybe it is the acting; or possibly the plot-or rather, the
lack of plot-that caused the
movie to fall short of expectation. The characters are somewhat flat and one-dimensional;
few of them even have names.
Though this name omission was
most likely intentional, perhaps
reflecting the way many Americans viewed those soldiers-as
nameless fighting bodies-the
audience was kept detached
from the men and removed
from the scene. Movies -of such
a compelling topic are intended
to help viewers understand the
prQblem and possibly enlighten
them, if only for those two
hours of darkness. For the most
part, Hamburger Hill leaves
the curtain drawn closed.
I must say, however, that
Hamburger Hill did improve as
the movie progressed. As the
Screaming Eagles battle up and
down Hill 937, a sense of unity
evolves; the platoon matures.
The scope of the film is ten
days-May 10-20, 1969-ten days
of living hell.
The men are proud but weary. They are angry and frustrated, often fighting amongst
themselves, always fighting
within themselves. To passify
their fury, they repeat the
phrase, "It don't mean nothin',
nothin' at all," in an almost
chant-like fashion. Though I'm
not yet sure of what, those lines
definitely meant something to
me.

The national campaign to stop
Contra aid and end the Central
American war has designated
Tuesday, Sept. 29, as National
Demonstration Day. Demonstrations are a necessity for
free thought. Can a democracy
function or act properly without
the imput of the whole of its society? We must examine our
convictions as a society as well
as individuals. As individuals
we are acting as a single unit,
not as a whole or society unit.
Are our present government's
foreign policies an input of
separate countries, each filled
with their own societies? we·
cannot afford to leave the problem solving up to individuals
alone, when the problems are
society's problems and should
be solved by society as a ·whole.
This leaves us with the issue
at hand. Problems concerning
the conflict in Central America
are social problems, and must .
be rendered by sOciety or the

"I didn't have time for breakfast ...and _I'm starving", explained one student to another,
half defensively, half apologetically, as she popped open a can
of diet cola and gulped it down.
"I can hardly wait until lunch."
That was part of a conversation
that I overheard as I waited for
class to begin last Thursday; a
conversation that each of us has
heard or spoken ourselves a
number of times. The student
that spoke those words was a
breakfast skipper.
Breakfast skippers span all
ages and io one half of American families, one or more per-'
sons routinely pass breakfast
by. So what's the big deal? You
don't die from skipping breakfast, right? Well no, not in and
of itself, but there are studies
that indicate that those who eat
breakfast every day do live
longer and there are other benefits to eating a daily breakfast.
Breakfast literally me~ns
what it says, to "break fast",
and it's the time to stoke
yourself up with fuel to run
optimally throughout the day.
Granted there is nothing absolutely magical about three
meals, but those who routinely
skip breakfast are not likely to
have adequate energy.
Breakfast skippers, who do so
for the sake of dieting, will be
disappointed. You're more likely to lose weight when eating
breakfast than when not. H you
have an appropriate breakfast,
the calories you consume will

Humor
The Sixt
Sen~e
. by Margaret Thayer
Special to the PoiJJter
H you are involved in a tightliving situation with many people, for instance, a college dormitory, you will find that scientists were wrong about humans
A!lving only five senses. Human
~ings have a sixth sense-the
sense of humor. It may be this
sixth sense that has prevented
the species from becoming
extinct!
Laughter has diffused many a
tense situation. But one also
quickly discovers that not everyone has the same sense of humor; not everyone is going to
laugh at your sparkling insights
into the realm of the humorous.
So it would be wise to be sensitive to other types of humor to
keep the peace with your fellow
human beings.
One type of humor is the .stereotypical Dumb Blonde next
door who giggles at every word
spoken by the male hal{ of the
species. This is called "Barbie
Doll" humor. A second example
is the freshman guys upstairs
who find it extremely amusing
to create disgusting body noises
and bathroom ·wan graffiti-one
could call this juvenile humor.
ParticularlywiB •-the younger
generation, an incredible number of people find an outlet for
humor in sarcasm. Those are
· the students who write English
papers satirizing some aspect of
the human rae~, such as humor.
And there's always an intellectual whose sense of humor can't
be understood by the rest of the
population.
Up on the fourth floor are the
psychotics who delight in Dead
Baby jokes-the sick · sense of
, humor. On the lighter side of bizarre humor is Far Side humor,
whose title is taken from the
quirky cartoon by Gary Larson . .
Far Side fans have the rare
quality of comprehending the
peculiar humor in this cartoon.
Underlying all of these senses
of humor is. the one basic to
all---eonversational humor. We
all enjoy making wisecracks
about our8elves, or better yet,
others, and have to Smile when
someone trips on the stairs.
This includes such favorites as
ethnic jokes, topical humor, .
that strange area of sexual humor, and the humor of day-~
day existence.
Humor is unperative to the
survival of the h~ species.
We should have all killed each
other off long ago if it· weren't
for laughter. So even if you and
the stranger across the hall
don't have a compatible sixth
sense, take heart; you can both
laugh at that idiot who just tri~
ped on the stairs.

T~e right way to skin a deer
With six YElar& experience as
a · -professional meatcutter, I've
seen it all when it ·comes to
mistakes in skinning a deer.
Mechanical peeling and forceful
pulling may cause serious damage to some of the most tender
cuts on a deer. Warm temperatures and improper storage of
deer carcasses can cause venison spoilage.
These are just a few of the
most common mistakes made
by people lacking common
sense when handling fresh
meat. You will find yourself
highly satisfied with the results
of following this step-by-step instructiori for a ·basic but highly
efficient hide removal process.
· The tools needed for this are
a skinning knife and a meatsaw. However, if these are not
available any sharp six to eight
inch blade knife and a hacksaw
will serve just as well. Additional materials include newspapers, one garbage bag, and two
three-foot lengths of rope. A garage or building with low rafters is· a good place to hang the
deer for skinning. I recommend
cooling or thawing your deer to
approximately forty degrees
Fahrenheit for hide removal.
Tie the two ropes. around the
hind legs of the deer. Elevate
the deer and tie the ropes to the
rafters spreading the legs approximately twenty inches
apart. Lay newspapers under
the deer for easy cleanup. Next
take the handsaw and cut off
the lower part of the legs at the
knee joints (all four legs). Remember to keep the registration
tag with the deer.
From here on, most of the
work is done with a knife. starting with hind legs, the object is
to work your way down evenly
and smoothly. cut down the
edge of the hide on the inside of
the hind legs without severing
the meat surface. Remember to
.
I
cut just through the hide
throughout the whole hide removal process, and avoid contact with the meat as much as
possible.
Starting wt,ere the legs were ·cut off, pull on the hide and you
will notice a membranous tissue
between the hide and the meat
surface. Pulling on the hide
while carefully slicing through
the membranous tissue is what
I call the peel and cut method:
By using this method the hide
will be removed evenly and
smoothly without damage.
Keeping the hide whol~ preserves sale value . and keeps
hair off the finished product.
Peel and cut both legs sown
until they meet at the hip. At
this point if the tail will easily
pull off of the tailbone. Continue
evenly and patiently downward
keeping the hide in tact.
When progress is made to the
· front legs, the cuts previously
make on the hind legs are simply duplicated. Peel and cut the
front legs until even with the
main body peel and cut. Continue down the neck to the head
without making a slit. This will
be convenient for the taxidermist if mounting is desired.
When the amount of desired.
hide removal along the neck is
. achieved, use th~ handsaw to
cut through the neck until head
hide fall to the floor.
There are many theories on
the removal of tinavoidable hair
and debris off the deer. Using
water causes the meat to become saturated and difficult to
work with in the cutting process. I recommend that a propane torch and damp cotton
cloth be used. Singing the hair
without burning the meat sur· face with the torch is not difficult. Then after wiping the deer
thoroughly with the damp cotton cloth your deer will be neat
and clean.

The U.S. EPA ·plans to restrict ozone controls Ia WfsconsiB, Illinois and Indiana next
year. This summer, high ozone
levels were found with health
threatening levels in soine
areas. Major mone pollution is
caused by chemical · emissions
from industrial plants and automobile exhausts. The EPA will
ban building of new· industries
that omit volatile organic·chemicals . (VOC~) in soi;ne areas.
Efforts to restrict VOCs and nitrogen oxides · from autos in
some urban areas will be increased.
A joiDt Caaadian..SOvlet ski
trip for peace is befDg planned• .
The exploration will take the
skiers from the Soviet Union
. across the North Pole and into
Canada. It is the first journey
of its kind. Members of the
1,075-mile trek will carry packs
initially weighing 100 pounds.
Along the way the 12-member
team will conduct experiments
in geophysics, glaciology; poilution and medicine. The trip is
planned to begin in early
March.
Hazardous chemicals pessessed by WfsconsiD busiDesses
and state and local agencies
must be reported. The request
comes from Wisconsin's Emer-
gency Government administrator. The Federal Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act directs states to' possess a statewide inventory of
hazardous materials and a safety program to protect people
and the environment. Each
county now has a planning committee responsible for preparing
emergency response plans by
October, 1988.
The biggest multiple bond default in history has occilrred because of two unfinished nuclear
power plants. Wall Street firms
that underwrote $2.25 billion in
bonds have settled on a $92 million law suit. The money was
used to fiJUuice two Washington
state power plant's. Plant construction was halted in 1983
with less than a 25 percent completion because there was no
foreseeable need for the power.
A plan is beiDg developed to
study the possibDty of dumping
Lake Michigan water into a
deep aquifer. The aquifer,
which supplies city water to
some counties in Illinois, is
being overused. The rate of consumption is two and a half
times the recharge r.ate. Many
people have opposed any diversion of Great Lakes water.
There may be environmental
risk involved with mixing water
from two different sources. Illinois scientists will be studying
existing research concerning di- ·
version to help them come to
some conclusions about the
plan's validity.

are now encouraged to bring
turtle eggs to the hatchery for a
profit. Tourists and school children have become especially interested in the hatchery program.

Costa . Rica for christmas break?
by Andrew J Fendos
Outdoors Writer
'
Just as it is already fall, winter with all its cold and snow
will soon be upon us. Although
little thought is usually given
this far ahead to most of us
there are questions that have to
be answered. The main one
being just what are we going to
do with the month of spring
break?
Perhaps visiting a foreign
country or sitting on a hot
beach could pass the time.
Swimming in the Caribbean or
exploring a tropical forest certainly would do as well. But add
to this the ability to earn three
credits plus many· other experiences: a couple of weeks in a
warm, distant country; walks
through tropical islands, and
spectacular bird and animal
life. All of this can add up to be
a very worthwhile way to spend
any break.
Costa Rica, with the Caribbean sea and Pacific ocean, its
mountains, cities, people and
constantly changing plant and
animal diversity, is being
offered again as the site of a
Tropical Ecology Interim.
A three credit, natural resource 475 International Environmental Studies Seminar with
no prerequisites, it explores
many of the natural and cultural beauties of this country:
Along with world famous biologists and environmentalists, you
will be able to visit rain forests,
coral reefs, volcanoes and coffee plantations. See the wonderful diversity of life forms in the
shape of leatherback turtles,
hundreds of bird species, ihousands of plant species, as well
as camp under a tropical forest
canopy. Skin dive the Caribbean
waters around Cano Inland, or
just relax and enjoy the friend-
ly people while learning about
their history and third world
cultures.
As an ecology trip it is the
diversity of the land and nature
that draws people here. The
country is small and narrow,
about the size of West Virginia.
One short distance away, is a
tall mountain range. The differences between the two elevations creates numerous .biomes
and ecosystems, · each holding
some new group of Ii,fe. Changes between them are equal only
to the amount and types of life
there.
The species of bird, insect
and animal life in Costa Rica
greatly outnumber that of the
United States. Just the lai-ger
birds here will keep any bird
watcher busy. But, as changing
as nature here is, the diversity
of theit culture is also a drawing point.
As a third world country, Cos-
bles of its neighbors and the
rest of the world.
ta Rica serves as a role model
in many ways for other developing countries. A visitor will be
given a chance to see how they
developed a system of managing natural resources as well as
the people in the fragile environments ·of Costa Rica. Farming here is important to the local economy, but can lead to
losses of habitat through deforestation. Interest in the mechanics of the farmer can be
explored here as the farmers
and PUral people are all very
friendly and open to new ideas
and methods. This gives even
an amateur environmentalist
the chance to dig for understanding, not only in foreign
agriculture, but also mto the
people's way of thinking. It
gives the economist and the social scientist the opportunity to
follow and observe a democracy
that has held its own in the
modern world despite the trou-
Holiday planning should have
gotten easier now that you've
heard a little about Costa Rica.
Certainly · a chance to experience the people and diversity of
the country is worth the trip
itseH, coupled with the opportu~
nity to learn first hand about
many of the issues involving the
present day world. The interim
is a very good way to spend .
any time or vacation.
Students of economics, the social sciences and of the natural
sciences will all find Costa Rica
interesting, but anyone is invited. All interested parties
may contact Mary Duritsa at

The archery deer season
opened in Wisconsin on Saturday, September 19th. Upland
bird hunters in some areas report they were hampered by the
heavy foliage during the opening week of hunting.
In the northwest, fall color
varies in the Brule area with
maples at their peak in Iron
and Ashland counties and at
about 40 to 60 percent color in
Bayfield and Douglas counties.
Grouse hunting is excellent in
the Flambeau River State Forest, and very good elsewhere in
Rusk County. Several bear were
taken over last weekend in the
county. Grouse and · squirrel
hunters are seeing a lot of
game in the Cumberland. area.
-There is good musky action on
Sawyer County waters.
·
Farther south in the west central counties, bluegills are hitting oh the Mississippi River
along the wing dams off Buffalo
and Trempealeau counties. Teal
are beginning to show up on the
river. The deer herd in the
Black River Falls area appears
very high this year for the
opening of the archery season
on Saturday.
In north central Wisconsin,
hunters had good succes~ on
squirrels opening weekend in
the Wisconsin Rapids area, but
heavy leaf cover interfered with
ruffed grouse and woodcock
hunting. Fall color is about 30
to 40 percent in the Woodruff
area where ruffed grouse hunters had a fair opening. Hunting
will improve as the leaves fall.
In the northeast, there was
good walleye- aCtion in the Bay
off Brown County last week,
along with some northern activity. Trollers found some action
in Kewaunee County off the
mouths of rivers fishing near
the bottom last week. Walleyes
were providing action at ·several locations off Door County.
Some nice northerns were
caught in the Bay off the Little
River in Marinette County.
Perch action remains good off
the breakwall at Oconto and off
County Parks I and II. Fall color has reached about 30 percent
in Florence County.
In the southeast, chinook and
rainbows were taken by trollers
off Sheboygan County, and trollers caught chinook off Ozaukee
County as well. Limit catches of
browns were made by shore anglers at the Port Washington
power plant. Several nice chinook were taken by pier anglers
early last week at Racine.
Perch action was fair early in
the week off Kenosha County,
but slowed as the week progressed.
In the south and southwest,
the heavy foliage is hampering
squirrel and grouse hunters in
the Dodgeville area. Fall color
has started to show there. Fishing is improving in Jefferson
County with walleye action re-

Marsh next week with peak ·
numbers of birds expected in
October.
Stevens Point Area
The opening weekend for
hunting was a success. Hunters
in central Wisconsin reported
good quality squirrel hunting.
Ruffed grouse and woodcock
hunting was slower due to
heavy leaf cover on the underbrush and trees. One hunting
accident was reported when one
hunter did not see another hunter. The person wounded was not
wearing blaze orange at the
time.
·
Woodruff Area
The woods are alive with color and most ground ferns have
turned brown. The trees are
now 30 to 40 percent colored.
This is an excellent time to plan
a nature hike. The mushrooms
are starting and the wild berry
crop is finished. Outdoor recreation spots are quiet and peaceful and there are many campsites available. The ruffed
grouse season opening was fair

Env. News,
The death of Z,OOO fish in the
Fox River last week Is still a
mystery. There have ' been 20
die-offs since the spring with
losses up to 10,000 fish at a
time. DNR fisheries researchers
are anxious to find a reason.
They are comparing healthy
fish to the ones dying to try and
find a clue. The water is being
tested for chemical pollutants
such as aluminum, benzine, xylene and toluene. None of these
have been found in lethal concentrations. W~ter chemistry
from p. 11
and biological tests will continue.
The Mllwaukee County Parks
have begun the practice of herbicide spraying again. After two
years of no spraying, herbicides
will once again be used ·to suppress broadleaved weeds. The
spraying ended because of concern over environmental and
human safety. Residents near
the parks complained about
dandelions spreading from the
park. Park officials said the
lack of spraying led to problems
of main~nance.

Baumgartner and Twet connect
to give Pointers 26-23 'win
-
In three seasons as a Pointer,
Steve Twet had only caught fiv~
passes
This season he has caught
four and his ninth career reception, which came with 29 sec. onds remaining, was his first
TD reception and it gave the
Pointer football team a 26-23
win over UW-Whitewater last
Saturday at Goerke Field.
The win was a big one for the
15th-ranked Pointers as it gives
them a 2-1 overall record and a
1-0 conference mark. Whitewater is now 2-1 and 0- 1.
"It was a post and fly pattern," said Twet, who hails
from Stanley-Boyd. "The safety
was cheating on (Aatron) Kenney on the outside so I had single coverage. I just found the
seam of the zone."
Stevens Point set the tempo of
the game on the game's second
play when Dan Dantoin picked
off a Jeff Olsen pass and scampered 33 yards for the first
score of the game.
The two teams then traded
field goals into the third quarter
and, with the game down to the
final 15 minutes, the Pointers
held a 13-6 lead.
They got the ball back just 32
seconds into the final quarter
and 1:02 later Kenney was
crossing the goal line after
hauling in a 58-yard pass from .
quarterback Kirk Baumgartner.
Those last-minute heroics
were needed after Point had
gotten out to a ·~ lead because
of a furious comeback by the
Warhawks which saw them
score 17 points of 10:44.

s1on, UW-W marched 65 yards
in just 2:20 to tie the game at
20-20.
Whitewater got the ball back
with 4:53 at their own 47 and
meticulously worked their way
down to the Pointer 17, using up
3:29 on the clock and winding it
sown to 1: 24 before Dave
Emond gave them their first
lead of the game at 23-20.
Tbe Pointers made their win-
ning drive in seven plays with
Baumgartner accounting for 59
yards and scrambled for one
while Keith Majors had one carry for five yards.
"The whole team knew what
nad to be done and it started
with Kenney's middle return on
the kickoff which gave us good
field position," said Pointer
coach D.J. LeRoy, referring to
the Dallas, Texas senior's 30yard return. "A lot of credit has
to go to coach (Ron) Steiner
who really made some great
calls and to the offensive line
which did its best blocking of
the game on that drive."
Offensively Whitewater outgained Stevens Point 416-347,
thanks to a 141-yard rushing
effort by Rainey. Olsen picked
up 243 yards through the air on
an 18-for 35 passing game. He
hit for one TD put was intercepted four times, including a
Tom Gaugert interception with
0:16 remaining in the game.

Baumgartner hit on . 16 of 26

Kenney hauled in five passes

this Saturday when they travel
to Maryville, MO. to take on the
Northwest Missouri State. The

Pointers started out with a win
over Macalaster (15-11 and 1511) and then beat Northeastern
Illinois ( 15-5 and 15-8). The first
loss to La Crosse took three

first game, 18-16, but losing the

9-15.

Singles winners against Carroll were Kathy King at No. 1,
Amy Standiford at No. 3, .Kolleen Onsrud at No. 4, Jane Sanderfoot at No. 5 and Kim York
at No. 6. The lone doubles victory went to King-Neja at No. 1.
