"We want to hear what people
. think," says Debbie Sakai, UWStevens Point SGA Minority
Affairs Director. Sakai was
commenting on Kenneth A.
Shaw's proposal that financially
disadvantaged minority students receive a tuition waiver
while in the uw· system. Shaw
is currently the UW System
President.
Sakai, also head of SGA's Minority Affairs Committee, says
that before her committee releases a resolution on Shaw's
proposal, she wants to hear
feedback or suggestions about
it. "Every student on this campus will be affected ... We want
to make sure that there's input
from everyone."
Shaw's tuition waiver is only
a small part of his program to
address the growing problem of
minority education in Wisconsin. Right now, minority students make up 4.7 percent of
the UW's student body, up
slightly from 4.5 percent in 1986.
However, the number of black
students fell 7 percent in the
last seven years. Only 3,212 are
now enrolled in the system.
Here at UWSP, Sakai says the
numbers of minority students
are dropping as well. Currently
there are 187 American-born
minority students registered for
the '87-'88 school year, down
from 236 last year. She says
that one reason why less stu- _ Turn to

Financial aid. Good news and
bad news. Funding for the Financial Aid office at UWSP
should stay about the same for
next year, a little over $17 million. However, due to fed eligibility requirements, that money
may be harder to get. Next
year, too, the I.R.S. will require
students to report all scholar.sbips and grants as income, and
pay taxes on them as well,
according to Philip George, Director of Financial Aid.

money will be harder to come
by. Congress has changed the
methods for determining eligibility. George Bl(ys that "the
new methodology (is) much
more complica~." Angered at
these changes, George said that
''the government gives lip service to simplification ...the government keeps making more
problems."
, United Council Academic
Affairs Director Steve Carreno
said that they're just begining
to research the new methodology. Carreno said that he wasn't
sure how this would affect students. However, he said that in
a couple of weeks computer
projections will Lbe complete.
The results will then determine

George sympathizes with students filling out aid forms. "It's

"The government gives Up service to simplification. ..tbe government keeps . making more problems."
George sympatl;lizes with students filling out aid forms. "It's
too difficult to apply for
aid...You've got to be a genius
to fill out all the forms.'' He
emphasized accuracy when filling them out. Estinlates should
be shied away from. "Estimates mean months delay."
The speed of the financial aid
office is often criticized. He
says that "We're as fast as
anyone in the state." The financial aid office is operating under a cumbersome system, with
and regulacomplicated
tions. "There's a limit as to
what we can do." In addition,
he added that people must allow
a fair amount of time for their
applications to be processed.
He pointed out that a staff of
10 people handles the applica~
tions for approximately 8,000
students. The earlier an application is returned, the better.
The office wants students to return the forms as soon as possible so that if they receive an
rules
award, they'll get -it at the beginning of the academic year.
dents are here this year is the
lack of minority support on
campus. Private schools are attracting more students as well,
and some just plain drop out.
To be eligible for Shaw's tuition waiver, financially disadvantaged minority students,
(blacks, Hispanics, Native
Americans, South East Asians)
would first have to pass several
requirements. First, they would
have to meet the UW's 1991
admission standards: 4 years of
English, 3 years of social
science, 2-3 years of math .and
science, and other areas as well
such as a foreign language requirement.
Next, within these courses the
students must meet or exceed a
2.5 grade point average.
FinallY, all minority students
receiving the waiver 1would
have to remain in good standing
with the university.
Sakai says that before ,any
action is taken on Shaw's proposal, she wants to receive
feedback about it. She says that
in the near future she will be
working in one of the Concourse's booths to listen to -responses about the proposal.
Right now the general consensus is against it, but Shaw is to
be commended for highlighting
the problem, according to Sakai.

Special to the Pointer
The Student Government
Association is teaming up with
the League of Women Voters to
host a "Political Awareness"
booth at the Wellness Fair this
weekend at the Center Point
Mall.
The booth, which will be there
on Saturday the 13th, from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., will serve as a
place to register to vote. This
registration process will enable
you to vote in all elections from
local ones, for example aldermen, to federal such as for the
President of the United States.
Two students are running for
alderman positions this year.
They are James S. Shulfer in
the 2nd Ward and Daniel J.
Grosskopf in the 3rd Ward.
"Students in many universities
are not taken seriously because
they have such a low voter turn
out," said Brenda.Leahy, S.G.A.
Legislative Affairs Director . .
"We would be taken much more ·
seriously in all levels of politics
if we could get a higher voter
turnout."
In addition to voter registration, the political awareness
booth will serve as a source of
information for local politics.
For example, if you wanted to
know who your alderman is,
which ward you live in, or
where you go to vote, this would
be the place to go.
The same senators that work
the political awareness booth
will also be appearing at all-hall
meetings within the next three
weeks.

Paul notes that now it will be
mu.ch easier and quicker to find
materials in the LRC. The
· LRC's new computer will be
attached to the campus Star- lane-ISN Network. Paul says "if
you have a computer in your office that's on (the) Starlane-ISN
network, you'll be able to sit in
your office and can up the library's computer and it will tell
you if we have (it) ... , and if not,
when it's due back." "Any

the network" will be able to use
the library's computer.
Arneson also said that the lobby would be remolded to
accommodate the new terminals. Noting that 6,000 titles were
stolen from the LRC in the last
few years, he says that the
LRC's security system would
also be improved during the remolding.

Valentine's ·Day
I
.
•Why is everyone so happy?
I
by Chris Asmussen
Stall Writer
Before you crack open your
first ~x of chocolates on February 14th, think to yourself,
"Is this how I want to celebrate
St. Valentine's Day?'~ ~
After all, do you even realize
who St. Valentine was, or what
happened to him on February
14,269 AD?
St. Valentine was a third century Christian martyr who was
beheaded, supposedly on t~te•
14th of February.
So, wlty- then do we send
cards, candy and roses to the
ones we love on this day? It
' seems almost backwards to express feelings of love and bliss
on the day dedicated to- St.
Valentine. I'm sure that he is
not all too happy about this. Mter all, wouldn't you rather see
feelings of grief other than love
on the day you were murdered?
AI Capone realized that
Valentine's Day was a day for
death, and not for love. Why
can't the rest of us realize that
too?
True, it is nice to have a day
set aside every year to
strengthen any relationships we
might have, but I hardly think
Valentine's Day is that day.
But we can't cancel it. Too
IJlaDY people look forward to
Valentine's Day, when they are
able to show their love without
having to have a reason. Considering the fast-paced world
we live in,- finding time to show
love for one another is hard.
Therefore, it's important to set
aside a day for that purpose.
So it is up to us, the students
and faculty of UWSP, to designate a new date for the day of
love and bliss. I propose the
15th of February. This way, the
day of St. Valentine's death (a
sad day) will be followed by a
day of love.
It also seems that we have
been ~elebratlng Valentine's
Day wrong, in tenns of its original purpose. The original celebration was meant to give fertility to the women (the ancient
Roman celebration, Lupercalia). In this festival, men didn't ·
give their mates candy or roses.
They instead gave them something ~ore meaningful-lashes
from ail animal hi<le.
It -was believed that the
lashes aided in giving the women fertility. The women did
not object to this behavior. As a
matter of fact, I would assume
they would rather receive
lashes over those sugar heart
candies that read, "Be Mine."
I'm not objecting to those heart
candies. I just feel that if there
must be' a Valentine candy, it
should be green M&M's.
Whatever way you choose to This is love celebrate Valentine's Day, I
hope that you and your loved

According to University Bookstore Program Assistant Marie
Cincera, Valentine's Day gift
and novelty sales beat any
other holiday, reason being
that, for college clientele, "this
is one of their liveliest holidays," said Cincera.
Cincera said that sales increase every day as Valentine's
Day nears, with the peak of .
sales likely to occur tomorrow.
· Most of these sales come in
the fonn ' of cards. Students not
only buy cards for girlfriends
and boyfriends, but also for
mom and dad, grandma and
grandpa. There's even a card
for the mailman. At an average
cost of $1, sales figures quickly
accumulate. On Monday, the
net sales for bookstore gifts and
novelties alone was $1,204.20.
Just as there is someone for
everyone, there also seems to
be a card for everyone. You
name it, they have it. Cards
range from serious to silly, and
from sexy to stupid.
For those who don't fancy
giving cards, how about a little
candy? The UC Student Managers have been sponsoring a
chocolate heart sale in the concourse this past week. Hoping
to sell 150 hearts, the sale
ensures free delivery- within a
mile radius of campus for -a
price you're sur~ to love: $2.
There's also flowers. The
university's floral shop, located
at the infonnation desk, has
been reporting fairly brisk
sales. The most popular purchases are two carnations,
greens and a vase for $4.95 or a
long-stemmed rose for $4. And
for those who have a bit more
risque gift in mind, there's boxer shorts. Sig Tau Little Sisters
sponsored their underwear sale
this past week. At $6 a pair,
customers had the option· .of
purchasing shorts with "Sweetheart," "Love You" or '"Hidden
Assets" embroidered on the
front.
Of course, for those who don't
have enough money to buy
gifts, there are other less costly
options.
Maybe a simple, yet sincere,
"I love you."

ello Stevens Point! Greetings from London.
I've been asked by our esteemed paper to write a bit about
the Semester Abroad Program in England. So here I am writing
to you from the group's favonte establishment and study facility, Lientess.
They serVe a great cider and, of course, Guiness Stout. The

Well, on to business. The trip to England so far has been
great. We arrived on January 13 and were immediately forced
to hop on the tube (subway) in order to get to the French Center, our base here in England.-'
We are all ~xperts on the subway system now, but that first
ride on the tube was quite the experience. After taking the
wrong tube and a 20-minute forced march, we finally arrived at
the French Center.
We did not have classes until the following Tuesday, so our
natural tourist instincts took over. We did it ali and saw it all:
Westminster Abbey, changing of the Guard, St. Paul's Cathedral, Sherlock Holmes Pub, Power Bridge, etc.
With all that tourist crap out of the way, we have now settled
down to our rigorous class schedule-all three days of it. That's
right, three days. Most of us only have classes on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. Tbis leaves four days for us to study,
travel soak up the culture and my personal quest-to visit all
5,000 pubs in my "Best Pubs of England Guide." I would like to
thank my mom for the best present ever. It's educational, yet
informative.
The classes are quite fun and very inte~. Drama and art
history are absolute must classes to take. We go once a week to
plays in the West Erid, the equivalent to Broadway. Then we
critique the play during a lecture.
Although our art history professor, Mr. Bradberry, sounds like
someone from Monty Python, he's a fantastic lecturer. Tbis has
probably become everyone's favorite class.
A lot of people have already taken weekend trips to such
places as Stonehendge, Windsor Castle and the Lake District.
Some. women from the group hitchhiked down to Brighton.
Hitchhiking is very safe in England. When they arrived there,
they found the youth hostel closed. They ended up staying at a
British family's house, being fed and given a tour of the area
for free. All they had to do were the dishes. They spent 2.85
pounds, a total of $5, that \.eekenJ.
Of course, not all of us have been so lucky with the natives.
We hear a lot of "Bloody Yanks" upon entering pubs and re~t­
taurants in London.

An adventurous member of our group, Dave· Mirkes, dreqed
in his Spinal Tap T-shirt and camo pants, feared for his life and
valor upon entering the Jack the Ripper' Pub to enjoy a pint of
Guinness. He was so nervous about hanging out and taking
"Bloody Yank" abuse that he slammed his 20-ounce pint, something not recommended by Mr. Mirkes, since bathrooms are few
and far between.
Well, my glass is empty and it's time to go. I hope you're
enjoying school, snow and Point Bock. I, along with the 41 members of the Semester Abroad Program, recommend that you
jump at the chance to take part in International Program's trips
abroad. You will enjoy them completely.

Features Editor
An estimated 1,000 people saw
"The Lark" open last weekend
as the Theatre Arts Department
unveiled its first play of the
spring semester.
Directed by Thomas F. Nevins,- "The Lark" centers
around Joan of Arc's trial,
using flashback sequences to fill
in details of her earlier life.
These flashbacks prove to be
• the biggest challenge for Jeannette d'Armand, who plays the
young Joan. Ms. d' Armand,
whose dialogue represent:~ a
great portion of the two-hour
play, is, frequently called upon
to revert to earlier days, often
at the snap of a finger. Her
command of lines and direction
in guiding the play through its
present-past course are the
backbone in this drama.
J. Andrew Voight gives an
outstanding perfonnance. Play. ing the ailing Cauchon, Voight's
resemblance to the stereotypical and media-formulated image of a priest is• exact: Tall
and slender, a touch of. gray
hair, slight Irish accent; and a
hobble brought on by age.
Cauchon fights to give Joan a
fair trial that will not end in her
burning, yet he's unwilling to
take ~ stand and fight for he.r
life. Joan's ·eventual failure to
compromise with officials
leaves Cauchon in the awkward
position of watching her burn,
sity of giving in to authoritative
wants has a grave impact on
his self-confidence and 'conscience.
While lacking the glitz and ·
appeal of musicals and comedies, "The Lark" not only
entertains, but also informs.
The unyielding thoughts aroused
throughout the drama are that
this really did happen. The
shocking reality that such dogmatic individuals do exist
makes the play relevant to . today's world. The overriding impression that Joan became a
victim of society bears similar
resemblance to the many victims that society preys upon today, simply because they fail to
conform.
Although occasionally dragging through lengthy conversations early on, "The Lark"
manages to pick up speed and
emotion as it nears its climax,
making it worthwhile and
thought- provoking.
With 26 actors on stage much
of the time, "The Lark" provides an abundance of visual
novelty. Costumes, each one
uniquely tailored to match the
character's personality, provide
an essential historical flavor
which accompanies the plot.
"The Lark" will be playing ·
all three days this weekend in
the Jenkins Theatre of the Fine
Arts building. Showtimes are at
8pm. Tickets are still available.

acids make apprqach the five
million mark and each protein
has unique properties and functions.
The dietary protein from
meat, dairy products and vegetables is digested by the body to
yield amino acids. Nine of these
amino acids are termed essential. That is, they must be
obtained from the diet as they
can't be manufactured by the
body. The remaining 13 non. essential amino acids can be
made by the human body by
taking apart amino acids
obtained from the diet and constructing new ones from their
basic elements.
The proteins that are constructed by your body are a
necessary part of every cell.
Protein provides structure or
components for blood, lymph,
cartilage, bone, fat, skin and
muscle. It is the base for hormones, enzymes and antibodies.
Protein helps carry nutrients
oxygen to the muscles, rewounds, makes tissue,
. clots blood, and regulates the
delicate water/acid-base balance of the body. In short, it is
vital.
So far, so good: Amino acids
are necessary component~ of
protein. Protein repairs tissue
and bUilds muscle. So amino
acids in the form of supplements must build muscle and
be okay?
Wrong. Amino acids are not
absorbed in the intestine in an
isolated fashion; they are ab- sorbed generally in groups. /
During digestion, specific mechanisms function to break down

.Recall that the body manufactures the 13 nonessential amino
acids for protein synthesis. The
reason that supplementation
with amino acids may be hazardous and critical is that if the
body is overloaded with an
excess of one amino acid, that,
in turn competes with others for
breakdown and transfer. Thus,
other amino acids may not be
available.
Consequently, it is possible
that some of those vital proteins
necessary for life will not be
made. Therefore, it isn't recommended to supplement with
amino acids unless there is -a
medically diagnosed deficiency
of a specific amino acid.
There is no magic in protein.
Remember basic exercise physiology: A muscle's mass and
strength is increased by that
muscle's resistance to repeated
exercise, not by excess dietary
protein iritake, use of protein
powders or amino acid supplementation. Protein requirementS don't increase with exercise; caloric requirements do,
and are best met by an increased intake of complex carbohydrates (i.e. breads, cereals,
vegetables, and fruit).
Excess dietary protein is
expensive to purchase, as are
supplements. They also may be
high if fat which -could increase
the risk of cardiovascular dis-
ease. Excess protein that isn't
utilized in meeting the body's
day-to-day needs will be converted to calories or stored as
fat. The excess nitrogen must
be diluted by water and ex-

Presidential candidates wanted at UWSP
UDlJ'en/ty Nen Service
Even though there's an abundance of presidential candidates, professors and students
at the University of Wisconsinstevens Point wonder whether
they'll be able to keep alive a
tradition on campus of attracting aspirants to the Oval Office
for public addresses.
The problem is, according to
political science professor
Edward Miller, that the Wisconsin primary is viewed as much
less important than it was 20
and even fewer years ago.
Nonetheless, letters will be
sent very soon inviting all of the
Republican and Democratic
candidates to make individual
visits to the campus to participate in programs· in which they
would be asked to give prepared remarks and answer
questions from a special panel
of students and then from the
audience.
The invitations will be for
appearances anytime before. the
state's primary election on .
April 5.
The Public Affairs Council, a
student organization within the
Department of Political Science
and headed by Nancy Stemweis, S1008 Lincoln Spencer
Rd., Marchfield, will issue the
invitations. H there are acceptances, Miller will assist with
the arrangements as the
group's faculty adviser.
Miller said that the Wisconsin
primary once drew considerable
attention because it was an
" early one and occurred on the
hill to the California primary.
The number of delegates we
have wasn't as important as the ·
momentum that a candidate
eould generate."
But this year, he adds, many
of the delegates to the two parties' presidential nomina~ing
conventions wiU have been chosen by the time Wisconsin voters go to the polls. .
UWSP's last good year in attracting candidates was in 1980
when the lineup of seakers ineluded Republican George
Bush, Democrats Edward Kennedy and Jerry Brown, and Republican turned independent
John Anderson.
Among those who were here
earlier: Hubert Humphrey,
Eugene McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Harold Stassen, Edmund
Muskie, ~George McGovern,
Jimmy Carter and Morris
Udall.

UWSP rece1ves $20,000 grant
UDlverslty Nen Service
The University of WisconsinStevens Point has received a
$20,000 grant from the Department of Public Instruction to
continue its work in promoting
the development of programs
for the state's gifted and talented children and youth.
State Superintendent Herbert
·Grover has awarded the money
for use in UWSP Network for
Gifted and Talented Education
A major project for the year
will be carried out by Charlene
Laurent, the network coordinator, and Donna Schultz, secondary curriculum coordinator for
the Stevens Point School System
and staff member of Cooperative Education Service Agency
Five.
·
They have formed two consortia, each comprised of several
small school districts, and will
assist administrators and teachers from those districts in the
creation of what can be "sys-.
tematic and continuous" gifted
and talented offerings. Information about the projects will be
made available to districts elsewhere that are in the process of
developing the same kinds of
programs.
The northern consortium involves the school districts of
Marshfield, Pittsville and
Auburndale. The southern Consortium has representatives
from the districts of Rio, Randolph, Pardeeville, CambriaFriesland and Fall River.
Larent and Schultz hold one
day-long meeting with each consortium once a month.
In addition, the grant will assist the network in continuing to
provide a resource service for

and that minimized our primary. There should be more interest (in the candidates coming to
UWSP) this year because we

of competition.

that the rabbit may be up to 300
yards in front of the dog.
A shot gun is best for rabbit
hunting and it doesn't have to
be anything beyond a quality
factory gun, but it should fit the
hunter. The term shotgun fit is
somewhat difficult to explain.
Simply, it means that the shot'gun must.. come to the shoulder
pocket in one fluid movement,
the hunter's eyes must also
sight naturally down the top of
the barrel. Anything from the
common single shot to an
expensive over/under will work,
just as long as it fits. Gauge is
a matter of personal choice, one
is just as well as the other, with
the exception of the little 410
bore. A 410 should only be used
by experienced hunters, its
charge is too weak for beginning hunters. It comes right
down to whatever suits the
hunter's hunting philosophy,
and whatever type produces the
best field results.
In selecting the proper gauge
and choke, modern hunters
need a choke bore that opens up
quickly. Constricting the pattern, as it happens with full
choke and even the modified
barrels, defeats the purpose for
the short-range shooting tJSe9 in
rabbit hunting. Unlike the rifle,
the shotgun has some room for
error. A shotgun is pointed, not
aimed. The expanding pattern
compensates for small pointing
errors. A full choke requires the
hunter to be more precise, and
this is extremely difficult to do
in a matter of seconds in heavy
brush Ol' ground cover.
Contrary to myths, the long
barrel contributes nothing to its
range. The charge of a shotgun
. reaches its maximum velocity
at around the 20- inch mark of
the barrel. Long barrels swing
more smoothly and are ideal for
watenowl and pheasant. A compact 26-inch barrel is the best.
overall rabbit barrel.
Shot size is a matter of
choice, but ~uper heavy shot
pellets, such as number 4 and
5's, form much thinner patterns, and the extra pellet
weight is not needed for the
thin-skinned cottontail. Number
six shot iS the most universally
accepted. Experienced rabbit
hun~rs also pattern their guns
and shot. They do not take the
size and shape of the pattern
for granted. Shotguns do not
always send the shot where the
gun is pointed, and therefore
the experienced hunter will take
a dozen or so shots from a resting position into a sheet of
newspaper to reveal exactly
how the scattered pattern looks.
There may be nothing exotic
about rabbit hunting, and while
it may lack the glamour and
prestige of other types .of hunting, it is the starting point or
catalyst of many hunting careers. And there is no charging
that.

Valentine;s Day Massacre
Here we are. Another Valentine's Day before us and what
are we going to do?
Valentine's Day is a senseless
occassion. In theory I guess it's
tolerable, but give me a break.
I haven't even recovered from
Christmas let alone prepared
myself mentally or financially
for Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day will be remembered in all shops; grocery
stores and schools across the
country will have children involved in making hearts in rememberance of Valentine's
Day. Practically every merchant in our land will somehow
honor the day with decorations
and cozy Valentine messages
for us to enjoy and ponder. You
know, the really deep messages
of the holiday,"Be Mine", "Hi
Valentine" and "You're Sweet"
frosted on cakes, stamped in
hard candies, and sprinkled on
cookies. Gosh, the United States
must be really moved by Saint
Valentine. He must have been
one heck of a guy for the whole
country commercially endorse
this guys big day in the sunshine.
I am positive that he did a
great deal more than just distribute love notes or words of
tender affection to thOse around
him. America must know that
he in some way raised the spir·
itual conscience of the world
with his godly words of freedom
and peace for all. He probably
worked to liberate all people
using love and compassion to
guide him to an understanding
of those who despised him.
We wouldn't pay so much
attention to Valentine if he
hadn't really rocked our socks
in his day with innovative ideas
about our responsibilities to fellow occupants of this earth, giving peace a chance, loving those
who loathe us and other JudeaChristian ideals. It's no mystery
that Valentine's Day is one of
the most recognized, joyful
events of this season. Why ? Because we love to love those who
are near and dear to us.
I think there's another holiday
around this time of the year remebering some guy I believe
it's in January, oh well, it's
probably not important. I'm
sure he wasn't important

To the Editor:
My name is Kevin Hartler,
marketing manager for Echo
Travel Incorporated. We have
been. in business doing college
tours since 1974. I am writing in
response to the article entiUed,
"Spring break options: illtimately, Ute choice is yours,"
dated February 4, 1988. Just a
couple of points that I believe
need to be added to the article.
First is that the -l~tion of
the hotel is very important to a
spring break tour. Please keep
in mind that the beach is 23
miles long and a poor location
could spell disaster for your
trip. The Plaza Hotel is located
at 600 N. AUantic Ave., which is
iiLthe center of the strip. The
surrounding night-life. and the
amenities of The Plaza can enhance one's stay. The Castaway
Beach Resort is located at 2975
S. AUantic Ave., making it at
least two miles from the pier,
not one mile as the other tour
operators representatives suggest. Cab ride can be expensive
each night as students gather to
enjoy the night- life.
Second, policies of each hotel
do differ. The Plaza Hotel does
allow alcohol in the rooms on a
regulated basis-which means
' no kegs or several cases per
student. This hotel has gone
through renovations within the
last two years. The Plaza Hotel
offers the student the finest
accommodations on the beach.
The night-life and eating establishments located within easy
walking distance of The Plaza
make it a demanded hotel. As
the article states, "The choice
is yours," but remember location and the hotel should be
strongly considered.

MORE EVIDENCE OF FRAT
PARTY CRACKDOWNS comes
from the U. of Georgia, where a
long tradition of open fraternity
parties-public welcome, alcohol
okay- is history. The policy results from a September brawl
at a frat party .following a
Dawg home game. "In 25
years, there won't be fraternities on campus beca~ of the
way the university is coming
down on us," predicted one
brother.
SPEAKING OF BRA~, a
very visible one took place between m~bers of rival frater~
nities at Texas Tech. U.- during the :Somecoming parade.
ApparenUy, a dispute over a
bellOO stolen 25 years ago from
one of the frats by members of
the other- erupted when the
bell appeared on a parade float.
The dean's office is investigating the incident.
CRIMINAL CHARGES AND
SEVERE SANCTIONS have
been levied against an Iowa
state U. fraternity after a
pledge nearly died from drinking too much alcohol at a house
party. Among the sanctions: no
alcohol in the house and no
alcohol-related, chapter-spon-
sored parties for a year, and
sponsorship of alcohol awareness programs. In addition,
some individual members face
criminal charges.
HOMER'S ODYSSEY AND
MORE'S UTOPIA serve to propel U. of Texas students into
creating imaginary worlds of
their own. They're taking a
course_called "parageography,"
which, according to the professor who teaches the course, is
the geography of places that
aren't real. After reading classic works like Lord of the
Rings, students create their own
worlds. Many make maps, documents and drawings. Some
write elaborate histories and religious traditions.
TESTS OF AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG at the U. of Tennessee went sour when the sul>jects, UT dental and medical
students, developed severe side
effects, according to an $11 ID:lllion suit filed by the students
against the drug manufacturer.
Twelve students joined the suit
against Beecham Laboratories,
claiming that they were warned
of possible mild side effects

muscle tremors bad enough to

lot of newspapers and editors

freedom of the press in Amerib this d ·

Nazi-style Police State. The

The Second Ammendment
reads, "The Right of the People
to Keep and Bear Arms Shall
Not be Infringed! "This right
has all but been creatively interpreted out of existence by
the courts who maintain that
the right to own and carry
arms is not an individual right,
but rather a right reserved to
the 'people of the Militia.' First
automatic weapons were
banned, then other "non-sporting" weapons, arid now handguns have come under the axe!
It was the newspapeJ;S and the
newspaper editors who clamored for gun control and were
quick to embrace the Courts'
distorted interpretation of the
Second Article off the Bill of
Rights. Now that the Courts are
trompilig on their First
Ammendment rights, they are
the first to yell, "Foul Play!"
Perhaps this is the true meaning of 'Poetic Justice'!
ethics! Imagine a law requiring
a permit to carry a concealed
newspaper! Imagine a law obligating a waiting period before
purchasing a book or magazine!
Similar laws have been passed
to void the force of the Second
Ammendment and they could
easily be passed and upheld to
void other constitutional rights.
Yes, just a8 the three R's are
taught in school, so should students be taught their rights as
United States Citizens. Freedom ·
of the press is one right; the
right to keep and bear arms is
another - and without the latter
to enforce it, the former has no
meaning and can be discarded
at will. The Framers of the
Constitution knew very well
that all of the rights that one
could possibly imagine and enumerate in any document
wouldn't be worth the paper on
which they were printed unless
the individual citizen had the
means to protect and defend
them!
Hopefully the press has
learned a valuable lesson in the
Court deCisi9n against freedom
of the press. In clamoring · for
gun control, the press has
paved the way for ·abolition of
their own right. Campaigns
against other peoples' rights
quite ofWn backfire in the loss
of one's own rights. Perhaps
people who liye in paper houses
shouldn't play with fire!
Not too long ago I read an editorial in this very paper advoeating the seatbelt law. I believe that the decision to wear
or not to wear a seatbelt is a
personal decision and ought not
to be. mandated under penalty
of law. It is one of those rights
which falls under the 'right toprivacy.' There was no referendum on the seatbelt law, eiU;er
advisory or binding. Nobody
even knows for certain whether
a majority of people support
this law (400,000 Iowans signed
a petition to repeal that state's
seatbelt law!) and yet we have
it and "!e have .~gns ~o, the
road which pontificate: It s Our

What is the next right that
will be creatively int~rpreted
out of existence? Will it be freedom of religion? Will it be the
right to petition for redress of
grievance? (Not that those mor-.
ons we elect to office ever listen! ) Will it be the right to be
free of searches without warrants? (Police already raid
homes without search warrants
and it is upheld as legal! ) Will
it be the right to have an attorney? Just what will be next?

Cottontails are for everyone
by Andrew Fendos
Outdoors Editor
The conunon rabbit is Ameri. ca's nwnber one game animal.
Everyone knows the long eared
critter. Its- white powder puff
tail tagged it with the nickname
cottontail. It can be found practically anywhere, . from in
shrubs in housing developments, to the densest fannland
thickets. However, it prefers
thick cover, which is the prime
reason it survives. A rabbit
may appear cute and helpless,
but the briar patch dweller is a
rough customer, and is more
than a match for many of its
•
enemies.
The average rabbit may
reach 18 inches in length and
tip the scales at between two
and three pounds. Maybe it isn't
too large or impressive, but it
knows a few tricks for survival.
Its keen ears tum and twist to.
the slightest sound, and the

Researchers developing alternative energy sourc;s in the
United States have recently seen both setbacks and successes.
Three of the world's largest windmills, built by the federal goverment at a cost of $60 million, are being torn down, less th'an a
decade after they began running. The 35-story-high windmills
were initially projected to provide- power to 20,000 homes for 30
years. The machines have been sold to a private company for
only $28,000 because of chronic malfunction.
A new 15-megawatt power plant in Califorina is the first in the
world to operate full-time ·on nothing but whole car tires. The
plant, which burns tires at over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit is designed not only to generate electricity from its supply of million tires but will also extract steel from the belts of the tires.
G~um an~ zinc will also be recycled as a marketable product.
Wtth half of the plant dev~ted to pollution-control equipment, the
plant appears to be relatively pollution-free, and it is projected
to provide electricity to 15,000 homes for at least 15 years.

from La _prosse) was in favor of
Eau Claire."
Bill Johnson, Match Secretary:
"After the weekend I think
some of my brain cells are gone
permanently. Saturday was
pretty cold , and Sunday was
windy as hell."
Jeff Griepentrog, playing in
his first Arctic Fest said:
"I'm pretty bumped and
bruised. Arctic Fest was intense
and a great time. Our tougl\est
game by far was against the
Old Boys and our PQint "B"

ID ·the past, the winter Olympics have been held in winter
wonderlands such as Lake Placid and Sarajevo. Instead, the
1988 winter games, which begin
Sunday, will take place in a
country more familiar with ice
hockey than ski jumping and
downhill slaloms.
750 athlete11 (a winter games
record for competitors) will be
in Calgary, Canada, for the next
two weeks representing their
countries and 'going for the
gold', or silver or bronze.
For some of these athletes the
pressure to win the gold medal
in their sport is reaci:Ung its'
pinnacle. But for others representing small countries, such as
Litchenstein and Greenland, the
chance for a medal of any type
is miniscule but the opportwtity
to be an homeland hero is
large.
.
Some key events to watch in
this year's snowy charade:
-Reigning Olympic and World
champion figure skater Katarina Witt from East Germany
will fac-e American World
champ Debbie Thomas. The two
met in 1986, with Witt coming
out on top. Witt will try and defend her title and 21 year-old
Stanford pre-med student will
be trying to join the prestigious
list of U.S. gold medal figure
skaters.
-Wisconsin's representative in
the games is West Allis native
Dan Jansen. One of his top
competitors for the gold in ihe
500 meter speed skating event
is teammate Nick Thometz.

Head coach Mark Mazzolini
said of the game, "I don't fault
our effort. Superior played a
much better game than they did
Friday night. We just had a few
lapses and they capitalized on
our mistakes."
Plagued by recent injuries
and a case of food poisoiling,
Point was forced to make the
trip with a reduced roster,
which made for several lineup
changes. Jason Wentler was ill
and Jim Klenk sat out both
games due to a bad back. Pat
McPartlin had to be hospitalized after Friday's game with
food poisoning.
"Any time you lose a player
like McPartlin, it's going to
affect your team. He kills penalties, plays on the power play
and takes a regular shift. He's
also a leader and we missed his
intensity."
Joe Butcher slid in two goals
to lead Point to Friday's victory. McPartlin, Supple,
O'Sheridan and Ralph Barahona
each added one goal.
Superior got off to a quick 2-0
lead Saturday night before
Pointer Tim Comeau got UWSP
on the scoreboard 32 seconds
into the second period. Ralph
Barahona tied the score witll
his second goal of the weekend.
Superior scored once more to
take a 3-2 lead into intermission. Barahona knotted the
score once more only :40 seconds info the third period on a
power play.
The score remained tied for
the remainder of regulation and
into overtime until the puck ricocheted off the skate of a Pointer player and into the net.
One bright spot for the team
was the play of Barahona. The
junior from LakewO??, California, extended his school record
scoring streak to 13 cbnsecutive

Neale farl1lily donates $10,000 to -UWSP
Ulliversity News Service
Nearly $10,000 has been contributed to the University of
Wisconsin.stevens Point by the
family of the late Oscar W.
Neale for
endowment to support student scholarships in the
area of art education.
Neale was a professor and
longtime director of the Rural
Education Department whose
tenure here spanned from 1915
to 1944. His special interest was
the deve,lopment of programs to
help instill among children an
appreciatiop of famous works of
art, and he became nationally
known for this work.
His family decided to provide
for scholarships in art education
after an article appeared nearly
two years ago in the national
journ~, "Art Education," which
focused on the professor's pioneering influence in "picture
• study." .
The family donors are Mrs.
Leila Neale of Stevens Point
and Mrs. Ventura Neale of Key
Biscayne, Fla., both daughtersin-law of the professor, and
James Neale of Stevens Point,
Joan Krienke of Roseville,
Minn., and Jean Stassel of
Anchorage, Alaska, all grandchildren.
In addition, Mrs. Pat Curry,
p1'esident- of the UW-8P Alumni
Association, announced that her
group has decided to join the
Neale family in raising additional money for the endowment. A letter is being sent
from campus to students who
were on campus in all of the
years when Neale was a.faculty
member. 1
an
As a leader in art education,
Neale traveled extensively
throughout his career, lugging
trunks containing copies of
about 200 masterpieces that
were used in shows he presented for the public. The two books
he published, "Picture Study in
the Grades" and "World Famous Pictures," were used in
schools throughout the country.
According to the author of the
article in the professional journal, "Neale came to feel that
the arts were neglected in
teacher education and children's education· and determined to do something about it.
The incident that triggered this
was that Neale discovered a
young teacher in a one-room
school, covering the walls of
her classroom with pictures
from a dressmaker's magazine.
She had no source for attractive
and aesthetically valuable educational visual aids nor standards for choosing such aids.
Neale reacted very strongly

Speaking of styrofoam, some
U. of Washington faculty- and
staff are challenging. a recent
switch in campus dining halls
from china tableware to disposable styrofoam products. They
say it's irresponsible for the
university to contribute to environmental problems and garbage pileups. As a result,
they've started a petition urging
the university to go back to allchina tableware. And at the U.
of Vermont, food service administrators- are trying to find a
cheap, durable alternative to
styrofoam.
And the band played on.
About 20 members of the Florida A&M U. marching band invaded the offices of the campus
newspaper, throwing bundles of
paper out the window and making threats to the staff because
the paper ran a story about a
parent charging the band with
hazing. The story said a parent
accused members of the . bane
of beating other members for
being ' late for performances.
The paper vows to further investigate the hazing allegations.
Grade inflation is out of control is· some colleges at the U.
of Utah, a Utah engineering
professor claims. In his study,
the professor found that the
average grade in courses numbered 3(10-599 is higher in some
colleges than in others.
