This fall may find the UWSP campus two halls short, if a recoounendation from Student Life administrators to close Nelson and South halls is approved by the Chancellor's cabinet members. At this point, however, Chancellor Marshall says . the plan is still ''an option." Assistant Chancellor of Student Life Fred Leafgren is a little more certain. He says that due to increasing residence hall vacancies incurred as a result of the UW System's new enrollment policy, "We need to close something. Nelson and South are the least ~fficient and most needy of. repairs. It hasn't been approved by the cabinet yet but most likely this is what will occur." NtHson, the oldest campus residence hall, was built in 1915. South is the third oldest. Bob Nicholson of Student Life, who developed the recoounendation with Budget Analyst John Birrenkot, explains the problem in terms _of efficiency and student savings: "I could keep the halls open. It's just going to cost a lot more. As an advocate for students, what I'm trying to do is get (the halls' ' e~rures) off the ~cb mthe ~---r----~--~--~~~~~,---~~~--------~~~~ students."(See accompanying chart.) The residence hall sy~ depends on the segregated fees paid by students who live in the halls for their operation. As · enrollment drops, the available pool of fee-paying students shrinks in turn. H expenses in the system remain constant, fees per remaining student are increased to make up the difference. H Nelson and Smith are not closed, says Nicholson, "It's unlikely that I could avoid an increase of $71 (in the student . residence hall fee.)

What they may not know is that neither is graduation. ·Every graduating senior is required to pay a $25 graduation fee to the university. The $25 fee is for undergraduates, while the graduate student fee is $30. But the fee is not one last oppo~ty ·to IIQUeeze money out of students, according to Helen Godfrey, assistant chancellor of University Relations, who says the ~money is split three ways and is used to cover graduation costs rather than going into the university's own coffer. The University Relations office is in charge of all ~e organizational responsibilities concerning graduation. Godfrey . . and her assistants coordinate the ceremony, create and print the program, take care the technical set-up, and organize the student and faculty processions. · In the past, graduation responsibilities were handled by a five person faculty staff until the work became too great. "They came looking for a commencement home and we (University Relations) ·were here," said Godfrey. The breakdown of the ·total graduation sum from students is as follows: · - 401X, , about $10, goes to the• Records and Registration office. It is used for final student evaluations, diplomas, diploma covers, and to cover the costs of mailing seniors graduation information. At the graduation ceremonies, students only re- m ceive the diploma cover. The actual certifica~ is later mailed · to the home. - " , or $7.50, goes to the Chancellors office. The University Relations office is part m the Chancellors office and part the fee comes to their office. Their portion goes toward programs (which last year ran $2,900), the technical set-up, maintainence, pre-program mailing, music, · and decorations, which includes an assortment of flowers for the December Christmas-time graduation. - 301X,, or $7.50, goes tQ the University Admissions office. for evaluation of transcripts and other graduation e~rures. The $30 graduate student fee goes directly to the graduate school office. m Turn to page 18 m NELSON SOUTH TOTAL Staff meals Services/supplies Travel Utilities Debt service 17,960 31,233 8,539 489 25,308 535 . 22,929 0 11,m :r1,521 10,610 551 _35,109 292 23,790 10,200 35,37'1 68,7M 19,149 1,040 60,417 8Z1 46,719 10,200 TOTAL SAVINGS 106,983 135,500 .242,483 Director Custodial help JJesk workers SAVINGS PER STUDENT 242,48313400 SAVINGS AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL RES HALL EXP: 242,483/2,368,939 $71 10.2% Savings from closing Nelson and South, and giving buildings away, according to data provided by Student Life Jtdministration.

Reports of sexual assaults on the UWSP campus continue. Though the best defense against pe is awareness and precau• nary measures, procedures · Xist to aid victims of violent crime both physically and emotionally. UWSP's Protective Services has provided advice and information for this article to inform students about this issue. . Sexual assault is defined as any se~ contact by a person without the consent of the other person, by use or threat of force or violence. The incidents at UWSP were so-called 'acquaintance rapes', in which the victim knew who the assailant was. Reports of battery have also been received. Men and women have been attacked while walking alone at night, or been pursued by someone, which is known as harassment. Being aware that something could happen and taking preventive measures without overreacting · is the best response, according to UWSP Protective Services. If a situation causes you to sense trouble, the best bet is to go with those instincts. First of all, do not walk home at night .alone. If you should have to, tell someone where you are going or when you will get there, and be on time. If you are not going to be on time, call. If someone is late, call Protective Services to look for them. The campus provides an escort service for student use. The times and places are post- . ed on bulletin boards in the UC. Neale and Steiner residence halls are in the process of setting up esc6rt services for the residents of the hall. The service will be 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"The convenience of not having to get your keys out could possibly put about 250 people in jeopardy," say resident assistants from Neale and Steiner. Should you be the victim of an assault, procedures exist to get help. First get to a safe place and call the police, a . friend or family member, or the Sexual Assault Victim Services at the Family Crisis Center, 344-8508, for support and transportation to a medical facility. The alternatives are St. Michael's Hospital, the University Health Center, or a private physician. A hospi~ visit is highly recommended.

The Peace Corps was in the University Center Concourse this week, encouraging people to volunteer two years of their lives to help the people in one of 62 countries around the world. Since its beginning in 1961, the Peace Corps has recruited 3,308 volunteers from Wisconsin. Of those volunteers, 127 came fromUWSP. The commitment a p~rson makes when he joins the corps lasts for 27 months. All ' expenses incurred during this time are paid for by the Peace Corps. Expenses· include travel costs, medical fee's, housing, ·45 ·days of vacation allowance, daily living expenses, and $175 a month, which is paid in the lump sum of $4,200 at the end of the commitment. An added incentive for graduating seniors who join Peace Corp is the opportunity to defer payment of student loans for the duration of the servi~.

The library's main · focus .is collecting materials that suppcirt the campus curriculum. These materials come in all media forms imaginable, including; books, magazines, newspapers, microfiche, films, floppy disks, pamphlets and posters. Each department of the library supports different types of materials for its users. The Reference Room holds a wealth of indexes, encyclopedia, abstracts, and maps. Reserve materials, including books and articles, are heavily used. These are limited- supply required readings for c~urses. Periodicals are located on the second floor.

Professor Kent Hall of the biology dePartment has b®n actively involved in working with high achieving high school students who are considering studying biology on the collegiate level. The state college student retention rate is .not high, about 60 percent. Hall concerns himself with this .issue, too. "The old saying is, 'Damn the freshman ! Full steam ahead. It should be the antithesis of this,'' ·Hall contended. "I want to be able to promise all my students job or graduate school placement. You c~ operate. with me as a biology major and I'll get you a jobthat is the ultimate in market- ing," the professor added. Regardless of which major they eventually choose, school officials are not conce'nted that a growing number of new fresh. men are entering UW-8P undecided about the major they will pursue. Justus Paul, dean 'of the College of Letters and Science, said, "Undeclared majors are normal and desirable. The real purpose of an undergraduate education is (for students) .to explore what they're interested in. How do students right out of high school know whether they will like to be philosophy or psychofogy majors when they don't even know how to spell those words." Vice Chancellor Howard Thoyre co~curred, adding that undeclared majO!S are less likely to change their courses of study once they choose one as opposed to students who make an early decision.

Engerbret- son Special • to the Pointer down with the boning knife, the front legs are easily removed. Be careful not to cut into the back strips. To make ihe whole process easier, always remember to ride the bones with the blade of th!!" knife, while applying slight pressure to the meat. This is called peeling and cutting. The meat from the front legs is tough, so it is removed from the bone and used for • ground venison, sausage or stew meat. STEP THREE (RIBS) Beginning at the breast of the ribs, follow the ribs down using the peel-and-cut method and stop at the back strip. You will know when you reach the backstrip by the difference in bolJe structure and the thickness of the meat. Then cut the rib meat oH, leaving the back strip intact. The rib meat may be trimmed (fat removed) to desired leanness and used for ground venison or sausage. Remember the time you went to the meat market to pick up your processed deer? That 130 pound deer was handed to you as 40-50 pounds of white wrapped packages. Did you think to yourself, is that all of it? Even worse, when you opened the first package, did you discover hair all over the meat? Most meat cutters process a deer the way it is brought in, because they are too busy during the deer season to provide a cleaning service. One poorly skinned and cl~aned deer will affect every deer processed in the meatshop that day. This should give you a good idea of · the qUality of venison processing to expect from a meatshop.

Do-it-yourself venison processing is the answer to your meat cutting problems. By following this step-by-step venison fillet process, you will learn how to cut and wrap your deer neatly and clean. Before we get started, you need the following equipment: one sharp boning knife or a sharp eight to ten inch flexible, blade knife; one very sharp 12 to 14 inch slicing knife; one sharpening steel, if available; one meat handsaw or hacksaw; a twenty-five square foot roll of' freezer wrapping paper; masking tape; one black marker; one garbage can with liner; and an old table on countertop (it will get scratched). Will .. STEP ONE (FRONT HALF) A basement or heated garage is recommended for the cutting process. Lay ·wrapping paper, ·shiny side up, on the cutting bench (table or countertop). Hang your skinned deer off of the- floor by the hind legs for easy access and stability. Lay newspapers or cardboard under the deer for easy cleanup. Usiitg the boning knife, follow the last rib down until the knife is stopped by the backbone. Do this on both sides, cutting all the meat around the backbone. Using the handsaw and holding onto the front half of the deer, cut through the backbone. When the two halves are separated, put the front half on the cutting bench. STEP TWO (Front Legs) · By simply following the ribs each back strip in one piece. At this point, there are two boneless back strips that can be sliced into steaks of desired thickness. To preserve freshness, I recommend cutting each back strip into two or three sections, wrapping them, and then slicing when you want to prepare them for a meal. Wrap and label. · STEP FIVE (CHUCK TENDERS) Inside the ribcage along the backbone, there will be two small tenderloins called chuck tenders. They are easily removed by hand and the dark surface layer should be trimmed with boning knife. Wrap and label. STEP SIX (NECK) BekJg careful not to chip your knife, cut as much meat oH of the neck as possible for ground venison or sausage. You may find it very difficult to maneuver the knife around the neck bones. If soupbones are desired, the neck is the prime source. (STEP SEVEN (FINISHING FRONT HALF) At this point, the only meat left is between the ribs. This meat is removed by simply following the rib bones with the boning knife. The meat between the ribs is seventy percent fat and five percent foreign matter from the field dress process. All cuts should be wrapped, with the exception of the venison for grinding and sausage.

H you applied for a permit this year and did not receive one, you will have preference for a permit when applying in 1988.

There were several management units, however, where the demand for permits was far greater than the number available.

The department received 400,313 applic'ations for the 257,465 hunter's choice permits available this year.

I Coyote, closure will protect wolf pack MADISON, WI-The coyote season will be closed in the northern one-third of Wisconsin during the 1987 nine-day gun deer season in an effort to protect the state's remaining timber wolves. "We estimate that between 18 and 22 wolves exist in the north in five small packs in · Price, Oneida, Douglas, Bayfield and Lincoln Counties said Jurewicz, a member of the Wisconsin Timber Wolf Recovery Team. · Jurewicz explained that during the fall some individual wolves in these packs may leave their pack and travel long distances. One young female from Douglas County was · tracked all the way into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Their tendency to wander out of their territory is why the coyote season closure is throughout the north and not just in a few deer management units. "Coyotes closely resemble wolves in coloring, although they're smaller than wolves," he said. "Most hunters will admit that telling the difference between the two is very difficult even under ideal conditions. At a distance, in low light, and even through a gun scope, it's difficult. This coyote season closure during just the gun deer season is as much an effort to protect the hunte~ as it is to protect the wolf." · I This season's closure follows the accidental shooting of a timber wolf· last year during the opening weekend of the gun deer season. The hunter who shot the wolf believed it to be a coyote. He forfeited $1,075 as a result of the mistaken identity. In 1979, two timber wolves were shot during ·the gun- deer · season. To prevent the accidental shooting of more wolves, the coyote hunting season was closed during the 1980, 1981 and 1982 gun-deer seasdns.

Grouse hunters are doing well in Iron County. Walleyes are hitting on the Yellow River in Washbun County and in Price County waters. Musky action is good in Sawyer County lakes. Farther south in the west central counties, archers are enjoying improved hunting in the La Crosse · area, with some nice bucks being taken. Small game hunting is good in the western counties, with some hunters coming in with nice mixed bags of ruffed grouse and squirrels. In north central Wisconsin, bow deer hunters are taking many bucks in the Wisconsin Rapids area and the deer herd is in good shape in the Antigo area for the gun season opening on November 21st. Muskrat and beaver trappers are doing very well in the Antigo area and are receiving good prices for pelts. The Wisconsin River below the Nekoosa dam is providing a few catches of walleyes. · In the northeast, good perch catches were taken off Door County and in the Red River area of Kewaunee County. Walleyes are being caught at Henderson Point in Door County. Anglers using spawn are taking brown trout in the shallows of the Uttle River at Marinette and perch fishing is good at Bayshore Park in Brown County. Rainbows, brown trout and a few salmon are being caught in the Menominee River. Bow deer hunters are doing well in Waushara County. In the southeast, shore anglers had good success on rainbOws last week at several points along the Milwaukee County shoreline. Action for that species was also good off the North pier at Racine and at Eichelman Park in Kenosha County. The Milwaukee River and the Root River in Racine County provided anglers with some action for chinook and coho. In the south and southwest, bow deer hunters are seeing and taking more deer in the Dodgeville area counties, and small game hunting. opportunities are good there. Raccoon hunters are doing fairly well in Richland County, but raccoon trappers are harvesting fewer animals than usual in Lafayette _County.

DNR North Central District Chief W~en Jim B1ankenheim says his staff will be especially watchful for those discharging weapons just prior to the opening of the deer season. "In recent years we have noticed a growing number of people shooting firearms on the Friday aefore the Saturday opener. ~e tell us they are only sight-· mg in their rifles. Others we have suspected of attempting to poach deer ov.t · of season. Therefore, unless an individual is shooting at an established target range, a licensed game farm, or waterfowl hunting, wardens will issue a citation." Deer hunters should also be aware, says Blankenheim, that the use of blaze orange garments while hunting is still required. "Solid blaze orange above the waist 'is preferable from a safety standpoint Photos taken to compare the visibility of camo-blaze orange and solid blaze orange under varying light conditions clearly indicate that solid blaze orange is safer." Blankenheim adds, how- ever, that the use of coma-blaze orange is still acceptable, but the garment must be at least 50 percent blaze orange. . The issue of mandating the use of solid blaze orange safety garments to the exclusion of camo-blaze orange is still open, according to Blankenheim. "The Department will continue to pursue this important safety legislation in upcoming sessions of the legislature." Groqp hunters should know that if game is killed for another person, the individuals must maintain visual or voice contact with one another. That means, says Blankenheim, contact without the use of mechanical or electronic means other than a hearing aid. Additionally, the person for whom the deer is killed must have a current, unused deer carcass tig which is authorized for use .on the deer killed. District Warden Jim Blankenheim also suggests that deer hunters stay away from roads when hunting. "Hunting is prohibited within 50 feet of any hard-surfaced road. Also, it is unlawful to discharge a firearm from within 50 feet of any road, regardless <?f whether it's hard or gravel surfaced. "Hunters, _ Turn to page 14 opportunities for goose viewiDg.

By John Gardner Staff Writer I A W - At one point during the season following a cnlShing loss at the ~- of Eau Claire, the Pointer football team's chances of a WSUC title looked dim. But, after destroying Platteville 24-7, the Pointers were crowned the king of the conference by winning their last five games of the year. The 1987 football squad was one of the best in school history, rewriting many of the record books. Theo Blanco, Kirk Baumgartner and Aatron Kenney all broke records this past weekend, but the Pointer de-: fense was the main attraction on Saturday. The topped-ranked defense in the league once again took a bite out of WSUC '·opponents, this time taking care of the Pioneers, holding them to just 89 yards on 39 ca.:ries. The'second. ary turned in a great game also by shutting doWn the Platteville quarterbacks who only completed ·u of 24 passes for 104 yards. There were also three interceptions, one each by Tom Gaugert, Bob Bostad and John Bechard. Point started on its quest for the crown with a 19- yard touchdown pass to Kenney. The PAT failed and Point had a 6-4) lead. The kick-off return stunned the .Point special teams as the Pioneers reached into their bag of tricks, turning in a 22-yard retum off a reverse. Starting at their own 43, the Pioneers rolled down the field behind quarterback H.T. Kinney and scored on a 24-yard pass to Chris Miller. The kick was good and Platteville led, 7-6. The mark of a good ·team is its ability to come back. The Pointers proved that true as they struck back on their next possession. Baumgartner and Blanco fought their way through the tough Platteville defense and scored on a oneyard dive by Blanco. Baumgart. ner ran in the two-point conversion which gave Point ·a 14-7 lead. The Pointer defense tightened · and freshup on the next senes man linebacker Bostad made an interception on the Platteville 30. Ba~artner didn't waste any time and on the first plaY, he drilled Blanco for a 30-yard TD pass. Kevin Deates added the PAT and Point was up, 21-7. Following another interception, this one by Gaugert late in the second quarter, the Pointers scored on a 25-yard Deates field goal for a 24-7 halftime lead., -That ended all scoring as both defenses dominated the rest of the way. The versatile Blanco had his best game of the season, rush- ing for 110 yards on 23 carries while catching 13 passes for 225 yards. Baumgartner 'finished ·the day with 295 yards passing, going 24 for 46 with two TDs and no interceptions. Head COach D.J. LeRoy hopes his offense can get back into the groove. "The timing· between our quarterback and · receivers ~s been off the past few weeks," he said. "Baumy got a · little bit frustrated in the second half but he just has to' learn to work his way through thing& like that. · "Our defeil$e seems to -be getting stronger each week and is controlling the tempo of the game." The Pointers, who improved their record to 9-2, are ranked No. 4 in the final NAIA II poll and will take on No. 12 ranked Westmar College of Lamars, Iowa on Saturday in the opening round of the post-season . playoffs.
