The Senate Education Committee voted 5-3 last Wednesd3y
to ask Governor Thompson to
withdraw the nomination of
John Jarvis to the position of
Student Regent.
Jarvis has been the subject of
recent heated debates and two
weeks ago was declared "Stop
Jarvis Week"on the UWSP
campus. If appointed to the position of Student Regent ·on the
Board of Regents, Jarvis would
be the UW students' spokesman.
Students around the state are
opposed to Jarvis because they
feel he is not a qualified representative.
United Council President
Adrian Serrano said, "I feel
with this vote the governor is
going to have to admit his miStake and withdraw Jarvis.
Thompson should realize by
now that Jarvis is not worth
this embarrassment to him.''
A spokesman in Madison commented on the situation. "Governor Thompson js still in support of John Jarvis and will not
rescind the nomination because
he feels he will be a good repre.sentative of the students. The
governor picks the best man for
the-job."
The spokesman also added
that, "Students would have an
objection to anyone the governor picked."
Wisconsin Stu~ent Association
Legislative Affairs Director David Woldseth said about the
vote, "I'm very excited. Guber-
natorial nominations are rarely
contested and even more rarely
won. It's great that students, by
uniting, were able to succeed in
this vote.''
He added, "The battle is not
over by any means. Students
must call the governor to ask
him to rescind the nomination.
Governor Thompson must be
told Mr. Jarvis is unacceptable
to t•s."
"This is a great initial victory
for ust said Jim Smith, Legislative Affairs Director from
United Council. "We celebrated
for about one minute and then it
was back to work on the issue.
We now have to gear up for a
vote on the floor later this
month."

A governor's appointment has
not been beaten since 1972.
By Karen Rivedal
For Portage County folks on a
tight budget, this year's biannual Visions conference must
have been a bargain. Lower income residents, specially targeted for invitation by area aid
agencies, could attend the ailday production for $1. Portage
County Human Services employee and conference co-chairman Daryl Kurtenbach said the
ticket price included lunch,
cbild care, transportation, an
opening address by key~note
speaker Ray Nordine, a style
show courtesy the students of
UWSP's Special Needs Clothing
~ourse, and a full day of workshops covering ten topics. AU

Serrano went on to add that,
"It is unbelievable that we have
gotten this far and I feel bad
for John Jarvis. The students of
the UW System would be the
victims if he was approved, but
he has been a victim himself.
The governor put him in the
predicament he's in and now
the governor should take him
out.
"As the project went along,
we kept gaining more and more
support," added Smith. "There
is still a very good chance to
- win this."
If the appointment is not withdrawn, WSA is prepared to continue its campaign against the
nomination.

National Physicians' Assistant
Day was celebrated this week
on October 6 by four UWSP PAs
who· work in the University
Health Center. Tom Jensen
Dick Dabner, Therese Rip~
Choudoir and Cathy Eckberg
work under the supervision of
Dr$. Betinis, Hettler and Zach.
Most of us meet the medical
staff at the Health Center when
we go through the walk-in clinic
where minor illnesses are taken
care of by RNs and PAs. Physicians are consulted when more
serious illnesses have ·been
diagnosed and specialized mewcine must be applied.
·
Tom Jensen describes his job
as a wonderful compromise because he is able to work autonomously wbile not being confined leg~y. Jensen takes his
role seriously in helping people
in their early 20s realize their
atiility to change their behavior
and develop habits that will
make them happier people.
Dick Dabner, known to ·many
as Dr. Dick, feels adding levity
to ' situations is necessary to
maintain one's sanity and per- '
spective. No matter how bad
something seems, he suggests,
you have to at least try to find
the positive side of things.
Cathy Eckberg has noted that
UWSP students are aware of
their needs. She describes her
patients as articulate and interested in their ·bodies and keeping them healthy. She tries to
give students information that
will enable them to deal with
future pf'()blems intelligently.
Therese Ripp-Choudoir is
most concerned with providing
students with quality medical
care with einphasis on prevention and self-care. .Giving patients the encouragement they
need to take control of their
lives and incorporate their goals
into their own lifestyles is very ·
important to Therese's role in
helping young people develop
themselves.

Numerous area residents and

past Saturday at Frame Memorial Presbyterian Church in Stevens Point. It was,· according to
Kurtenbach, a "beautiful community example of volunteer
effort. There was hundreds of
dollars worth of time donated
on Saturday, believe me."
Besides the Human Services
Dept., Operation Bootstrap,

Even so, conference or_ganizers don't expect to come out
ahead. "We'd be lucky to have
a few pennies left," ·said Kurtenbach.
But · the conference wasn't
meant to be a money-maker. ,
"It was actually a preventionfocused workshop. Its aims
were information and prevention," Kurtenbach explained.
Past Visions conferences, held
in 1983 and 1985, explored the
status of and interest in agency
prevention (of economic distress) and wellness in the workforce. The 1987 conference was
designed to specifically reach
community members in need of
assistance. Workshops ranged
from the very practical, such as
presentations on weatherization,
home decorating, and personal
appearance, to the more sensitive areas of alcoholism, single
parenting, · job search, and
stress management.
''Buckstretching,'' ·a workshop
on money management and alSo
a central theme of the conference, was taught by two individuals. Portage County Home
Economist Pat Richter collaborated with Aaron Woods, a grad-
uate of UWSP, to produce the
information. All the workshop
presenters donated their. time
and talents.
The noo~hour Style Show was
a UWSP produpion. Thirteen
students from the Special Clothing Needs course participated.in
the conference at Human Services Dept. request and for a
class assignment. St. Vincent
De Paul's Society Store provided the clothes for the show.
Faculty member Virginia Baeten says her class "coordinated
the outfits, wrote the scripts,
did the music, and secured door

a job?
Join ·the club
National ~-Campus Report
. ..For many college graduates, · job hunting can be a depressing, frustrating experience. Those who don't find jobs
right away often combat feelings of low self-esteem, hopelessness, and anxiety.
That's why Anne Matthews,
director of career development
at Southwestern U., started a
campus Job Club- a support
group for student's who're seeking employment after graduation. "There's an assumption
that if you've got a college degree yoy can get a job- no
problem,'' says Matthews.
That's not always true, she
says: Students still need help
making the connection between
the academic and working
worlds.
Modeled after a similar program at the U. of the South, the
job club allows smaller schools
like Southwestern to enhance
their job placement services.
"Unlike the larger universities,
we don't have a lot of recruiters
. coming onto campus," Matthews says, "so we tend to emphasize counseling students in
career choices rather than on
placement." The job club helps
with placement by training students to become good job hunt. ers.
Here's how the club works:
Recent graduates (and those
. who'll graduate within the year)
attend two threehour meetings
each week. In addition to their
job- hunting successes and failutes, they share indiviauai techniques- where they found leads,
resume and cover letter contents, and details of interviews,
for example. Matthews also
Squa~e
. .. I
FRE -E MUG!...
I
.
gives short talks on interviewing skills, business etiquette,
and other subjects.
Matthews has students concentrate on the two best ways .
of finding a job: people they
already know, and direct contracts with employers (cold selling). "I try to discourage stud~ts from solely checking the
want ads," she says. "Some
prefer to approach an employer
from a distance and them
expect to be invited for an ipterview. It doesn't happen that
way. You have to get out and
talk to people."
The job club uses two "textbooks": The Job Search Companion, by Ellen J. Wallach
(Harvard Common Press); and
Finding a Job, by Mason H.
Azrin and Victoria B. Besalel
(Ten Speed Press).
Although it makes sense to
hold sessions throughout the semester, says Matthews, Southwestern's first job club meetings weren't held until June.
"Job hunting often gets put on
the back burner until school is
over," she says. "During the
school year, a lot of students
don't have time to concentrate
on anything but their studies."
But next semester, Matthews
plans to hold informational
meetings on the job club early
on and switch to more focused
meetings in late September and
October. "November and December are peak recruiting
times, " she says, " and they:U
need to have started on their
resumes before school starts_
taking up all of their time."

Dear Pointer:
In your October 1 edition, the
front page was adorned with the
story "Anatomy of a protest,"
by Frank Bosler. A very educational article, to say the most.
But, come on Frank!. Who's kid·
ding who when you talk of
S.N.I.F.'s neutrality, and its intentions towards "educating"
the students? It's paintully obvious to which side you lean concerning political issues and,
consequently, the direction you
steer your fellow "Sniffer's.'' I
find this in blatant contradiction
to the substance of your article,
due the lack of pluralism you
imply exists, but obviously
doesn't.
No offen-se, gu.ys
Dear Editor, •
This letter is to express Qur
regrets to any who might have
been offended by our letter in
the Sept. 24 issue of the Pointer.
It was not -our intention in any
way to belittle any of the efforts
of the social fraterriitfes on
campus. We were ourselves victims of common stereotypes
which unfortunately DO exisi.

Dear Pointer,
I was recently amused while
observing the S.N.I.F. demonstration against the United
States Central American policy.
As a first-year student coming
from Madison, I used to see
that kind of demonstration
weekly; students (about 30) who
held up peace signs and played
a bongo drum had little, if any,
impact on the few students that
wandered by. The passing students seemed amused and even
annoyed ·at the protesters. In

your stating the organization
was politically neutral. Well, I
believed you, that is until you
laid down your briefcase in full
view to reveal a large NO
NUKES sticker; if that's neutrality, I have a few cruise missiles I'd like to sell you. It's
comparable to saying Ortega
goes to Cuba just to buy cigars.

What does it mean-to party?
· Since this week's focus is on
.nartvirlll in Point, I thought I'd
up the term to avoid
misleading,my audience.
After checking it out in several popular diCtionaries, I concluded that party means: to
enjoy thoroughly and without
restraint. Either that or: one of
the litigants in a legal proceeding. Since one meaniJ:Jg often
leads to another, I suggest you
keep these definitions in mind.
I've discovered through observation, however, that even the

word. H I were tO categolize

Cocktail, lawn, barbecue, office, as well as illegal subStance

category. Much of the difference between the college and

You know though, I should

the only way to party. In fact,

• Nell Simon's comedy, "Brighton Beach Memoirs," which opens
at 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 9 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens
Point.
"Brighton Beach Memoirs,"
Neil Simon's poignant comedy
about growing up during the
Depression, will open at 8 p.m.,
Oct. 9 in the Jenkins Theatre at
the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
Directed by Arthur Hopper,
the productions will continue at
8 p.m. on Oct. 10, 15 through 17
and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 11. Tickets are on sale in the College of
Fine Arts box office. This comedy is the first of Simon's semi:
autobiographical stage trilogy
that includes "Biloxi Blues"
arid the current hit, "Broadway
Bound." The first play focuses
on Eugene Jerome's (Simon's)
adolescence, the second follows
his army experiences and the
· third traces the beginnings of
his writing career.
In "Brighton Beach Memoirs," Eugene, the narrator,' is

the joys and the disappointments of growing up: Set in the
period before World War IT, the
play explores the relationships
and the conflicts within the
Jerome household.
Last year in a Milwaukee
Journal article, the playwright
said, "I really tried to write
'Brighton Beach' through
Eugene's eyes at the age of 15,
and bow he ·saw that family
then. To him, the entire worldno matter what was going on in
Europe-his entire world was
about having to go to the store
a lot, about 'Keep your room
clean!' and about his sexual'
fantasies. You're so self-consumed at that age." .
Hopper describes the production as "a family play that is
an audience pleaser. The su~
ject matter is universal-the
strength of the family, as well
as its turmoils and its conflicts.
'Brighton Beach' is a charming
and romantic portrayal of Simon's coDling of age."
The director is especially
excited about the set created by
Stephen Sherwin for UWSP's
production-"a massive, realistic reconstruction of a two story
house."
Others involved in the staging
are Deborah Lotsof, costume

Outdoors Writer
With its snake-like body, huge
head and razor-sharp teeth, the
pike has a fearsome appearance
and a reputation to match. In
the Point flowage, it is the pike
that reigns supreme.
It is not un_common for a pike
to strike a bass or walleye
struggling on the end of. an angler's line. Besides being heavy
eaters, pike will protect territory by attacking · intruding fish.
They may also feed on musk. rats, mice, turtles, salamanders, small ducks and birds.
The majority of their diet, however, Is comprised of other fish.
Close relatives, muskies and
northern pike are similar in
appearance. Most muskies have
, dark bars or spots on a light.
colored body. Northern pike
have light spots oL a dark body.
The color of both may vary
with the age of fish and with
the clarity of the water in which
it is found. Northern. also have
fully scaled cheeks, five or less
pores on each side of their lower jaw and a rounded tail.
Muskie, on the other hand, do
not have scales on the lower
half of their cheeks and carry
seven or more jaw pores. The
tail of a muskie is pointed. Hybrid tiger muskies, a fast-growing hybrid of the two, has six to
nine jaw pores, a rounded spotted tail and is the most common
type of muskie found in Portage
County.
·
Northern pike and tiger muskie share 'many of the same
water8. Above the Stevens Point
dam, (the Point flowage), many
shallow bays and back waters
can be found. Areas such as
these that are adjacent to deep
water and that have aquatic
· weed growth or · flooded ·timber
hold the most pike.
The local paper mills hand
out free maps of this flowage's
water that show the largest
bays and ·the deepest backwaters. Similar maps can also be
found hanging in the recreational services office here on cam. pus. H you don't know the river,
these maps can greatly cut the
time needed to find good pike
terriwry. Boat launching ramp
locations and some historical
sites are also provided on these
maps.
Locating small northern is
easy, they spend nearly all their
time in the shallow, weedy wa. ter from two to six feet deep.
Finding larger northern is not
as Simple. Springs, deep holes
or drop offs with heavy cover or
structure must be found in order to locate trophy-size pike.
Hiring a fishing guide, asking
other fishermen or ,exploring
and charting the area yourself

Wisconsin hunter education receives high marks
I
: MADISON, WI-The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources recently received a recognition award from the National Rifle Association (NRA) for
having one of the top 10 hunter
education programs in North·
America. The NRA "Top 10"
Award plaque was presented to
the state as the result of an
evaluation of the entire hunter
education program.
Homer E. Moe, Wisconsin
Hunter Education administrator, credits the dedication and
enthusiasm of the 2;300 volunteer hunter education instructor! for the award. "The enthusiasm and involvement of the
men and women volunteer instructors is a major factor in
any successful h'linter education
program. Volunteer instructors
are definitely the front line in
hunter education and the department, the conservation war. dens and other personnel are
the support staff for the volunteers," Moe said.
Last ~ear, 1986, again set ~
record for the low number ot hunting accidents in Wisconsin.
It was the safest ~eason in over
40 years, with a total of 78 hunting aCcidents reported. "That
achieYement reflects the quality
that the Top 10 :Award expressed," Moe observed. "The

New hdndg.un rules effective in 1988.
MADISON, WI-Proposed
changes in rules covering the
use of handguns for deer hunting will be effective beginniilg
in 1988 and not for this fall's
hunting . season, Homer Moe,
Department of Natural Resources hunter education
admiriistrator, stated.
"The proposed rule changes
passed during this spring's Conservation Congress hearings
and statewide meeting will be
written into the rules to be
effective in the ·1988 deer hunting season," Moe emphasized.
"Rules governing handgun use
for this season will be the same
as last year."
Those rules are that it is legal
to hunt deer with .357, ,41 and
•44 magnum caliber cartridges,
·or any other caliber handgun
chambered for commercially
manufactured -cartridges which
produce a minimum muzzle
energy of 1,000 foot pounds. The
minimum barrel length is 5"2 ·
inches measured from the muzzle to the firing pin with the
action closed.
Handgun hunters for deer are
still restricted to areas open to
rifle deer hunting. Also handgun
deer hunters are not allowed to
possess any other fireann while
hunting deer.
"The proposed changes for

1988 will allow handgun hunters
to hunt deer statewide and will
allow possession of' other fireanns while deer hunting rather
than restricting them to just the
handgun," Moe added. "These
rule changes again are only for
next (1988) year."
Waterfowl hunters are also
reminded that they must use
only steel shot in pursuit of

easier today. There's a greater
awareness, says Stevens, who
·started CHUCK in 1978- after her
son, Chuck, died of alcohol poisoning and exposiire during a
fraternity ritual.
"There's still secrecy, but students are having the courage to
come forward now. Hazing is
more often reported; it's more
visible," says Stevens.
(There've been at least 39
deaUis caused by hazing in the
past ten years.)
"Hazing has been around so
long some people don't perceive
it as a serious problem," says
Stevens. "Many have a 'boys
will be boys attitude."
Only recently have the national headquarters of many fraternities taken a tough stance. "At
long last... they're revoking
chatters and putting chapters
on probation," says Stevens.
A number of schools have
also taken action against Greek
organizations. Colby College
(Maine) and Alfred U. (N.Y.)
have eliminated fraternities
from their campuses entirely.
The U. of Lowell (Mass.) this
year shut down permanently its
chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
fraternity after a near-fatal
hazing incident. A freshman,
found covered with a sleeping
bag n~ a heater in the fraternity's attic, was in a cOma for
four hours.)
Solving the problem. of hazing
begins with public awareness,
and the best way to increase
awareness is through federal
·legislation, says Stevens. "Lobbying state-by-state is a slow,
tedious business.''
A few years ago, Thomas
Downey, ·u.S. Congressman
from Steven's own state of New
York, wouldn't consider sup-.
porting any kind of nationwide
legislation. But continuing reports of hazing have convinced
him the time may soon be right
for federal action. Steven's big
dream is- that Downey will propose "a hearing on hazing during the historic, looth Congressional session."

The season is nearing the end
and the Lady Pointer soccer
· team is having the same prol>leln. Scoring.
Barb Updegraff scored the
only Point goal as Stevens Point
lost to Oshkosh last Wednesday,
7-1. The women are 1-4-2 on the
season.
While the loss still counts, a
statistic that didn't show up
was the teams' improvement.
The defense of Debbie Duehring, Shawn Bartlett, and Ann
Taylor is playing better together as a group by making
opponents pass· the ball more.
Th~ defense was helped out
with the steady and consistant
goaltending of Teri. Clyse who
had 18 saves. Oshkosh came up
with 22 saves.
According to Head Coach
Sheila Miech, more improvements can still be made. Our
defense got beat too mariy
times, she said, which gave
Oshkosh ample scoring opportunities. We will continue to work
hard fundamentally and try to
improve for our next outing
with Oshkosh.
Stevens Point had 25 shots on
goal compared to 24 for the Titans. Oshkosh had three corner
kicks and Point only had two.
Statistically, the game was
pretty even, said Miech. We
pretty much beat ourselves. We
didn't generate much offense
until the end of the second half.
The women kickers play their
next two games on the road against Oshkosh on Wednesday
and St. Norbert on Sunday.

Ga bling turns into ser1ous
problem
Two University of NebraskaLincoln students stand accused
of ·taking another student hostage in a dormitory room to collect a $1,200 gambling debt.
Shortly before this, another UNL student was charged with faking a burglary to his dorm
room: he needed $5,000 to cover
a gambling debt, and figured
he'd try' tO get it from his. insurance company.
students at the University of .
Maryland are risking a maxi$10,000 fine and time in
by participating in an illegal get-rich-quick scheme.
Experts say that gambling
among college _students is becorDing a serious national problem. A recent study by the National Foundation on the Study
and Treatment of Pathological
·Gambling says that almost half
of the nation's compJllsive
gamblers are between the ages
of 20 and 35, . and 96% of them
started before they were age 14.
What's more, students at some
schools wager as much as
$300,000 a week during the football season. And another grim
fact: the attempted. suicide tate
among compulsive gamblers is
20 times higher than the natio~­
al average.
"students are gambling like
wildfire,'' says a spokesperson
for the national office of Gamblers Anonymous. "They're
squandering their money away
on sports, card games, the lottery, you name it and they're
betting on it. I just got a call
from a college counselor who
needed help controlllilg a serious gambling problem on her
campus."
Gambling takes a variety of
forms, and one of the most popular (although illegal) games to
sweep college campuses is a
pyramid scheme commonly
called "Airplane." People buy
seats on an imaginary plane,
which consists of a pilot, two
co-pilots, four flight attendants
and eight passengers.
The seats cost anywhere from
$100 to $1,500. When the plane is
full, the pilot collects a large
chunk of the money pool, up to
$12,000, depending upon ·the
amount originally collected, and
the plane splits into two new
airplanes. The co-pilots become
polots of their own imaginary
aircraft, the flight attendants
become co-pilots, and they recruit eight more passengers.
On the surface it loooks like
there's
quick buck to be
made, but people can lose their
investment when the market for
new passengers becomes saturated or falls apart. That's what
happened at the University of
Florida wh(·a the arrival of
spring break caused the game
to end prematurely, costing
hundreds of students their money.
"It's an illegal scam, and students are overextending themselves without any return on
their investments,"says· Stan
a
Levy, vice chancellor of student
affairs at the University of Illinois.
t
Levy, along with other UI and
state officials, has initiated a
widespread public awareness
campaign warning against the
dangers, and illegality, of the
airPlane game.
And in the wake of the highlypublicized incidents at UN-L,
school officials have extablished
the first on- campus gambling
awareness program in the country. The program offers assessment and referral services for
students with gambling problems. It also offers outpatient
. treatment through a local hospi.tal, and videotapes and pamphlets about compulsive gambling.
"students are gambling with
their college careers, and they
need to be educated," says Dr.
Margaret Nellis, director of Nebraska's health service. "We
don't get into the prw and cons
of gambling per se, but we want
them to know how to regognixe
a gambling problem within
themselves or in others."
The symptoms of a compul.sive gambler include: needing
to borrow large amounts of
money to pay debts, high energy levels, and an o~on with
a sporting event far beyond
team loyalty.
Because games of chance are,
an everyday part of society,
most people don't think that
gambling can 6ecome a problem, says Nellis, who often has
trouble getting students to
atteRd workshops Qn gambling. .
"Lots of people gamble; there's
always an office pool. Even
automatic teller machines randomly give out free money.
Unfortunately, a young compulsive gambler may never realize
he or she has a problem until
it's too late."

Bulimia is recognized as: recurrent episodes of binge

of food in usUally less than two
hours; with at least three of the
following characteristics: consumption of high-calorie, easilydigested food during a binge;termination of the binge ·by
abdominal pain, sleep, social interruption, or self-induced vomiting; repeated attempts to
lose weight by severely restricted diets, self-induced vomiting; or by. use of laxatives or
diuretics; and frequent weight

pounds due to alternating
binges and fasts. ' Bulimia ineludes ah awareness of abnorJll81 eating patterns and the
fear of not beiqg able to stop
voluntarily; depressed mood
and self-deprecating thoughts
following binges.
The bulimic begins to diet,
hunger sets in, they binge-eat
(the noimal response to starva· tion and dieting), feel guilty,
which in tum leads to purging,
more guilt sets in and the cycle
continues. Secondary to all the
regurgitated stomach acids
from the persistent vomiting,
the bulimic may have bad
breath, chronic sore throat,
swollen salivary glands and
eroded teeth. Frequent vomiting, laxative abuse and diuretic
use leads to alteration of fluid
status, constipation, diarrhea,
and in some cases after continued vomiting, esophageal or
stomach hemorrhage which
may prove fatal.
There is no single cause for
eating disorders; a combination
of interacting factors including
psychological, familial, sociocultura1 and biological contribute
