Republican Governor Thornmy Thompson has until May 13
to sign or veto the 1988-89 state
budget bill passed by the Democratic-controlled Legislature.
The proposed measure contains
$234 million in property tax relief, no state tax increases, an
early end to the state's mandatory seat belt law, and a ban on
hard-core pornography.
It may also earn a full or partial gubernatorial veto, because
the bill- falls far short of the

substitutes for a trained professional? With the rise in student
populations in some areas,
more teachers are needed to
avoid overcrowding classrooms.
To balance the. ratio, the Communications Dept. is turning to
TA's for help. Whether this iS a
good solution or not is being
hotly debated.
Mike Mikalsen, Academic
Mfairs Director for Student
Government Association, said
that there ·were two closely related issues under discussion by
Academic Mfairs and SGA.
First, many teachers believe
that this substitution is in· con-
flict with the philosophy of
teaching. Mikalsen remembered
what Professor Robert Knowlton, one of the many professors
against adding more TA's to the
Communications staff, said during one of their discussions:
"Students come to UWSP to be
trained by professional educators, not by someone who is
learning how to teach. And in
the timetable for next semester,
out of the tWenty-two discussion
sessions for Comm. 101, one-tothree have actual names next to
class sections."
The second related issue deals
with the department itself. It's
under fire because of its plan to
increase TA's in char~e of the

Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women.
This violence has serious effects
on the ·whole family. Children
who are raised in violent homes
will likely grow up to be abusive adults.
Melissa Martin, a counselor
from the Family Crisis Center,
discussed domestic violence recently. She told the audience
that every 18 seconds a woman
is battered. Furthermore, the
victim usually grew up in a violent home. Fifty percent of the
women, and sixty percent of the
men involved, witnessed domestic violence as a child.
The batterer generally feels
weak, powerless, deJ)endent and
possessive. He will isolate his
wife from family and friends by
moving to the country and leaving her without a car. H~ finds
it difficult to express his feelings and has rigid ideas about
sex roles.
The victim believes men to be
superior and feels she must submit to the abuser because he is
supporting her. She usually has
low self-esteem because the
only· feedback she recieves is .
from her husband.
"Children in domestic violence situations are also in danger," Martin stressed. The
oldest daughter can become an
incest victim because she takes
on the responsibilities of her
mother. Boys in this situation
will identify with their mother
and try to help but may eventually accept it and later beat
their own spouse.
Where can people tum to help
for this situation? The Family
Crisis Center. The Center is located at 1503 Water Street, Stevens Point. The Center will provide services for the entire family involved in domestic violence. Shelter for the abused
woman and her children is
offered. Although the address of
the Crisis is not confidential

offered) it is a safe place for

United Council chooses
Jim Smith for President
UDited CoUIJcO News ·
<.,'urrent UC Legislative
Affairs Director Jim Smith was
elected President of United
Council for the upcoming year.
After a grueling three hour
election process, Smith WO!l the
majority vote of those attending
the General Assembly meeting.
Because only 77 members of
the General Assembly were at
the meeting and a majority vote
of 68 was needed to win a presidential election, election rule
10.11 was suspended after the
fifth ballot. This rule stated that
the president must be elected
with the majority vote of the
entire General Assembly,
whether they are present or not.
.The other candidates running
for president were Steve Cady,
current vice-president of United
Council and President of Stevens Point student government,
and David Woldseth, current
Legislative Affairs .Director of
UW Madison student government. Both candidates dropped
out of the election before the
third ballot. However, internal
haggling within the General Assembly precluded quick, concrete election results.
After the sixth · ballot w~s
cast, Smith was officially de-
clared new UC president.
Although the outcome was a
long time coming, Smith told
the General Assembly he was
ready to move forward with
plans for the upcoming year.
"In the same way in which
we've gained credibility within
the Legislature, we're going to
gain credibility on the campuses next year." Smith said.
Citing his record as Legislative
Affairs Director, Smith said he
has the experience and the dedication to make solid changes in
United Council. "I want to raise
the profile of United Council as
a whole."
Smith begins his presidential
term June 1, 1988, replacing current President Adrian Serrano.

UWSP News Service
Officials at the UWSP expect
to curtail acceptance of freshman applications for the fall semester in little more than one
week from now.
Mel Karg, director of high
school relations, said that if students haven't begun the application process, they need to act
immediately because it may
take several days to finalize. In
addition, the university requires
that each appli.cant pay a $100
deposit.
The freshman class at UWSP
will be limited to 1,700 students
this fall, as it was last year.
Last year, when tight admissions requirements were in
force, the average academic
standing of the freshinen was
the top one-third of their high
school graduating classes. This
year, the requirements were
slightly more stringent.

Student activity, text rental fees propose no increases
Seg fees slated for more •Increases next fall
~ Karen Rivedal
tor
The fall season traditionally
brings to campus a new flock of
freshmen, new coursework, a
couple of new teachers and the
new fall fee rates. Tuition will
increase 4.4 percent next semester, or about $57, at this university and most other four-year
UW schools. The State Legislature decided that.
Internally-determined, oncampus fee increases for next
year will claim most other
areas as well, including housing, food service, and segregated fees. These areas typically receive no state tax dollars;
student and other user fees support them.
By an accident of age and requirement, freshmen and sophomore students are the most
heavily charged enrollees on
campus. A double room for a
year will cost just over $100
more next semester. Food service will charge a standard $40
increase no matter what the
food plan. And segregated fees
are to increase overall at an
average rate of 4.3 percent, or
$12.
Cost of living increases, declining enrollment and administrative chargebacks, a relatively new twist, top the list of reasons administrators give for fee
increases.
The cost of living increase is
provided to user-fee, or auxilary, units on campus by UW System Administration budget officials to serve as a guideline.
Auxilary budgets must eventually be approved by System
officials. According to UW-Stevens Point auxilary budget director~ John Birrenkot, the cost
of living increase projected for
the 1~9 academic year was
four percent.
Declining enrollment is a concern for areas that are dependent on student finances for survival. UW schools are in the
second year of a four-year
enrollment reduction plan that
will eliminate 7,000 students
from the UW System. Fewer
students on campus often cause
student fee- dependent areas to
raise fees and/or user charges.
Administrative chargebacks
are fees paid by auxiliary areas
of campus to tax-supported
areas for services that are provided by the tax-supported area
and used by both. An example
is _university-wide postal ser-
vice, or purchasing or accounting.
Comprehensive administrative
chargebacks are seen by ~orne
as a new way for university
administrators to get more for
their budgeted buck at the
expense of students. Since auxilaries run on student fees, money paid out in charges is provided by students.
Chargebacks were assessed
for the first time at UW-Stevens
Point last academic year, were
charge<\ again this year, and
could continue indefinately.
Some auxilary-area administrators say they have raised student fees to cover this new
expense.
Here's what administrators
had to say about fee increases:
Housing: Asst. Chancellor for
Student Life Fred Leafgren supervises on-campus residence
halls: "The enrollment cut is a
factor because it reduces revenue in all areas. And the way
that's made up is in an increase
in the fees. If we didn't have
chargebacks assessed, the increase wouldn't be as high. The
main thing, though, is this drop
in enrollment. The cosr of living
increase is exacerbated by having the cost of a smaller student
body. "
...
1208.00
ltoa.OO
J20&.001 ,,,
Next fall, UW-Stevens Point students can expect an overall increase of U percent in segregated fee charges, as well as a 5.5 percent average tuition increase. UW System adm.fnistration
officials in Madison and the Board of Regents must still formally approve the proposed increases.
.
New for the halls next year:
cable television; two uppercl'ass
halls, Baldwin and Hyer.
Health Service: Dr. Hettler
determines the Health Service
budget: "We used the standard
figures they told us to use. We
also ·put in the chargeback. If
the chargeback goes out, we
could obviously reduce the 6.7
percent charge."
Food service-Bob Busch supervises the University Center,
including food service: "$1208 is
the same cost for all the plans
(this year). The basis was that
students wanted more flexibility. The Any Five Plus Points is
the new one. Under this plan, a
student can eat any five meals
they want a week at Debot or
Allen, for unlimited seconds and
a large variety, and the rest are
points. That's what we're hearing from students, that they'd
like to go there once a day,
really chow down, but for the
rest they want flexibility.

counselors at the Center twentyfour hours a day and they are
the only ones allowed to answer

block from the police station,"
said Martin.
Counseling for both the victim
and the abuser of domestic violence is offered. Usually.. at this
stage, the women are taught
assertiveness and men are
taught to identify with their
feelings. Medication is also
offered as an opportunity for
both partners to negotiate behavior change. If couples are considering reconciliation, this is
an important step.

The Crisis Center also offers
a crisis intervention service and
youth services. The crisis intervention service allows a counselor to listen and work with any
problem a person may be having. They will develop a plan to

The youth service offers a

sixteen-week discussion sessions. Since Comm. 101 is/ a
GDR requirement and incoming
freshmen would be forced to
take it, many would also be
forced to have a TA or graduate student teach their class.
"One person might get a section
that would be taught by a
professor, while another may be
forced to take a section led by a
TA," Mikalsen said.
The argwnent is that students
are paying the same amount of
money and not receiving the
same quality education. And
one of the attractions to UWSP
for future students is that, in
contrast to campuses such as
Madison, most of the classes
are said to be taught by professional educators ·and not be
assistants.
Next year, approximately one

Sister Pat and new apprentice
Sister Mary were next at bat.
Although they weren't as illustrious, they certainly provided
the controversy. Many students
vehemently argued and quoted
verses, while others were merely contented with the show.
I was fortunate enough to
meet with Sisters Mary and Pat
to ask a few questions after
their bible-thumping session.
Although I didn't agree with all
their views we had a nice chat
and at this point I found it a little easier to take their views
more seriously.
And so I gave them the third
degree:
·
Lampereur: ''First things
first. What is your purpose for
coming here today?"
Sister Mary: "We want to
present the word to them about
righteousness and sin to make
them aware of their sins. Students are humanists. Our aim
is to show them the. way of
righteousness.''
. Lampereur: "Many of the
students really wonder if what
you're doing here is to be taken
seriously. Don't be offended, but
are you here to accomplish any
real objective?"
· Sister Pat: "Oh; don't worry.
You can't offend us."
Sister Mary: "God is serious
business. We're here to teach
people the love of God. The
love of God is to tell people the
truth. They've heard what the
...
so-called church says and now
we want them to hear what God
says."
.
LamJ)ereur: "Why do you
come to Stevens Point of all
places?''
·
Sister Pat: "Stevens Point is
one of our favorite places to
preach. There are many centers
here and we enjoy preaching
the word of God to the students."
Lampereur: "How have the
students received you compared
to other years?"
Sister Pat: "We see a big difference in the students' interest.
They seem more willing · to listen than in years past."
Lampereur: "To what church
do you belong?"
Sister Pat: "We belong to no
church. We are Christians.
When we were young we went
to churches ·like many of the
people here, but we were never
really Christians until we were
reborn.'• Lampereur: "One last
question. How does one become
a Born-again Virgin?" Sister
Pat: "When you repent your sin

State officials were told recently the gains of-catch-up pay

The finding was based on national infonnation the UW System forwarded to the Department of Employment Relations

Unforunately for them, their

not take any action on the issue
until next year, or unless she is
specifically requested to do so
by the Senate.

Recently SGA passed a res&lution favoring the reinstatement of a voluntary prayer at

was forwarded to the University

they would introduce a new motion from SGA containing the

reasonable (just slightly above
inflation)."
United Council staffers are
also pleased that this year's tuition increase raises the instructional cost burden born by the
student by only .2 percent, from
32.7 to 32.9. "That's still underneath the tuition cap we want to
see at 33 percent."
A legally binding tuition cap
set at 33 percent of instructional _
costs is a United Council goal
for which members have yet to
win decisive legislative support.
Lobbyists secured some bipartison support for the tuition cap
during this past winter's regular legislative session, but not
enough to pass the bill. United
Council members will reintroduce the measure into the next
legislative session.
For' now, says UC President
Serrano, staff members are
busy preparing for next year's
United Council President and
agenda. An election held two
weekends ago propelled current
UC Legislative Affairs Director
Jim Smith to the top spot.
Smith will take over for Serrano
on June 1, 1988, and the immediate focus of the organization,
according to Serrano, will be on
elections.
Nearly half of Wisconsin's
- thirty-three Senate positions and
all ninety-nine assembly seats
are up for re-election this November. United Council will
take the time between now and
then to conduct a voter ·registration drive and educate student
voters and the candidates on
five so-called "election issues."
In United Council's view, the
tuition cap bill, continued financial aid increases, lowering the
drinking age to 19, the Wisconsin Civil Rights Act, and a new
student consultation bill' are
issues important to students.
Legislators looking to win the
student vote need to support
them as well, according to
United Council.

Bratfest has returned
by Jim Malzewski
Features Editor
The sun is shining on Bratfest
once again.
Last Saturday marked the return of the once annual, spring
brat and beer festival after its
one year layover. With sunny
skies and temperatures in the
70's, nearly 300 students played
volleyball, ate brats, soaked up
rays, danced and, of course,
drank beer. The event took
place at The Cabin and, as
usual, was sponsored by Sig
Tau Gamma.
Fraternity members, students, The Cabin_, and city officials all seem very pleased with
this year's results. Fights and
public disturbances, Bratfest's
biggest problem in the past,
were absent from this year's
celebration, according to Sig
Tau past president, Bernie Benson.
The entire operation, said
Benson, ran as smooth as silk.
Although the fraternity anticipates a slight loss when all the
receipts are finally totaled, he
said that they are still glad it
took place. "We were kind of
tired of getting kicked around,"
said Benson. "It was good for
our self-esteem to have it."
Benson was optimistic about
next year's Bratfest, saying
that the fraternity wanted to
work with the city instead of
being opposed to one another.
This year's Bratfest was left up
in the air until two weeks prior
to its scheduled date because of
problems in obtaining a liquor
license. The fraternity was denied a license by both the city
of Stevens Point and the town of
Hull. Finally, the fest was salvaged by using The Cabin's license.
Benson said that the. fraternity hopes to have 800 in attendance at next year's f.est. "We'll
slowly · build up again," said
Benson.

Cohabitation: Ny1ons, beer and dirty underwear
blnKathy Phillippi
S
writer
If you answered "yes" to all of
these questions, you're probably
ready to take the big step. If
not, you may want to rethink
this move.
Another factor you'll want to
consider before moving in is the
lifestyles that you and your
mate are accustomed to. You
may not take keenly to his beerguzzling buddies invading your
space every weekend and he
may find your nights out with
the girls a bit too frequent. If
freedom is a high priority for
you and you are adamant about
maintaining your "space," you
may find yourself climbing the
walls of your newly confining
quarters. Finally, those of you
who enjoy a . lavish lifestyle
may need to tighten your belt a
bit, as shared expenses sap
your financial reserves.
Whatever your lifestyle may
entail, it's imperative that you
discuss it with your mate beforehand and resolve any differences. Compromise will play a
key role. If you are willing to
adjust your lifestyle to ,tha't of
your mate's, then you'll have no
problems. However, if you go
into the relationship expecting
the other person to change his
ways, you're sure to run into
trouble. Cohabitation requires
give and take from both of you.
If, after personality and lifestyle evaluations, you're still
bound and determined to give
cohabitation a try, then by all
means don't let anyone stand in
your way. You've convinced
yourselves that this is the right
thing for you; all that's left now
is convincing the folks.
Unless you parents are extremely open-minded, or unless
you have something on them
(i.e. blackmail material), you
may have a difficult time.. It's
best not to present your argument the day after your mother's 30th class reunion at which

stimulation of the central nervous . system which causes that
wide-awake effect. Caffeine .
makes voluntary muscles less
likely to fatigue; therefore, it
increases speed and efficiency,
sharpening reaction time. It's
because of these effects that
caffeine is so appealing and ·
marketable.
However, beware; caffeine
can let you down and kick back.
Caffeine w.i ll sharpen your
senses, but the effect is only
temporary and in order to remain awake you need to consume more caffeine. The consumption of more caffeine may
backfire and result in your remaining awake long after you
anticipated being asleep. Upplanned lost sleep is the last
thing students need during finals week.
In addition, caffeine is -an irritant to the stomach lining and
may cause a feeling of nausea
or heartburn if consumed in
excess or on an empty stomach- sensations stressed students can do without. It's to
your benefit to keep caffeine to
a minimum.
Take time this week to eat
well and wisely; it will help
give you the energy you need to
make it through the week.

Evq,ngelical trio liven·s campus
by Jim Malzewski
Features Editor
Once
ag~,
they've returned.
Brother Jim, Sister Pat' and
new recruit, Sister Mary made
their annual migration to UWSP
on Tuesday.
. ,_
Their unorthodox attempts at
inciting anger and frustration
among those wh~ witnessed
preaching throughout ·the
•
y afternoon were, to say
· the least, a success.
Sister Pat, touching on issues
of masturbation, abortion, suicide and premarital sex, received a showering of chocolate
bars during her evangelical sermon; the PB Max bars were
complimentary samples given
out in the UC on Monday and
Tuesday.
~.
She was also met with profane jeers, derogatory criticisms, a male student's offer of
an unpackaged condom, and a
mountain biker's scream in the
face as he whisked by with
inches to spare.
Despite this onslaught of
"friendly" fire (there were no
injuries), Sister Pat said that
she never feared for her well-

colleg1ate
being. "The mentality they
demonstrate is that of six and
seven year olds," she said. "It
· doesn't bother me. God protects
us."
•
/
An example of this, she said,
took place when her biking
friend fell moments after he
screamed in her face. Attempting to ride on one wheel, the
biker fell back and landed on
the rough sidewalk between the
Fine Arts Building and LRC.
She said that this was a direct
result of God. The biker, unaware of his awesome opponent,
got up, took a bow, and was on ·
his way - bloody knee and all.
Brother Jim, as always,
seemed to be the most popular
of the trio. When Sister Mary,
who many students yelled "virgin" at because of her first
appearance here, began to
preach in her somewhat quiet,
passive tone the crowd chanted,
"Brother Jim. Brother Jim... " Brother Jim inflamed students throughout the afternoon
by calling them whoremongers,
killers (women, because of their
freedom to have abortions), and
drunkards. The trio .vowed at
the onset of their preaching,
"We're going to give a moral
spanking to the students of
UWSP."
Sister Pat expressed her favor for UWSP, saying that our
campus had great aco'Ustics and
that we always turned out in
good numbers to observe their
show.
The overall purpose of their
preaching, she said, is to get
kids to read the Bible. Sister
Pat said it was up to them because "parents can't deal with
it, professors aren't interested
in it, and peers aren't qualified
to discuss it."
Regarding the effects of therr
preaching, one thing is certain:
They provided quality entertainment for thousands of students
on a 70-degree, spring day.
Whether or not anyone read
the Bible Tuesday night,
well......
So it goes.

Sister Pat delivered her Born-AgaJn,.chrlsUan views to the student body in an attempt to get students to read the Bible.
Crowd participation- Is a highlight of the evangelical show.
Student comments ranged from ''Pat masturbates" and ''We
want you Brother Jim" to "Hey, the · ooly difference between
you and the chics here Is that you sweat."

Michael J. Ormond of Stoughton will direct an all-student
production of "Beyond the Horizon," Eugene O'Neill's first Pulitzer-Prize winning play, Friday through Sunday, May 6, 7
and 8 at UWSP.
Tickets for the performances
in the Studio Theater will go on
sale Friday (April 22) at the
College of Fine Arts box office,
and will be , available at the
door. The price of admission is
$2 for the 8 p.m. shows on Friday and Saturday and the 2
p.m. show on Sunday.
Named the best American
play for 1919-20, the drama is
set in Massachusetts during the
early 1900s. The stor.y was
based on a real love triartgle in
the playwright's life. The action
revolves around two brothers,
Robert and Andrew Mayo, portrayed by John A. Voight and
Todd A. Stickney, both of Antigo, who are in love with the
same woman, Ruth Atkins,
played by Kelli Cramer of WiSconsin Rapids. She marries one
of them, the other goes off to
sea, then rettfi'ns eight years
later when his brother is seriously ill.
According to Ormond·, the
characters represent the materialist versus the dreamer, the
natural versus the unnatural- .
the human tendencies to not
really listen to what others are
saying, and to do what we think
others want us to do. But the director says the drama also portrays a message of hope which
arises from its tragic circumstances.
Other members of the cast
are: Chuck Alfsen ' of Racine;

Air Jam '88 a great success
by Molly Rae
Stan Writer
It was a damn ball, well-organized and well-attended. Over
500 people crowded into the
Encore room last Thursday to
watch and participate in the
1988 Pepsi Airjam and WSPT
guitar contest.
The big prize of the evening
went to guitarist Jim Weber,
who took home the B.C. Rich
Warlock electric guitar. Second
place went to Gemini guitarist
Kelly St. John, and third to
UWSP Music Coalition president, Mark Montgomery.
The airbands battled it out all
night long. And the winner
was... PELVIS! The king· was
portrayed magnificently by
Bruce Woodrell. The band and
security team consisted of Todd
Spencer, Jim Strecher, Mike
Prange, Pat Lund, Chris Hunt,
Ross Thompson and Craig
Schoenfield. When asked what
they'll do with the prize money,
they simply stated, "We're havin' a party!" Venomess, a
Whitesnake tribute, took second
place honors. Third place went
to Savage Heart.
Ann Locy, the new UAB Concerts Coordinator, assured me
that they'll be putting it on
again next year.

Last week's Air Jam attracted 500 people to tbe UC Encore

Moral questions raised by cohabitation often stems from
people's religious beliefs. The

To the Editor,I would like to

As one who has extensively
read and studied the Bible, I
can unhesitatingly say that it
contains the answers to all of
the questions posed in your article. I recognize your sarcasm,
but if your opening lines express your true feelings, you
should seriously consider this
resource in your quest for the
true God.
I recommend this book not
only · because of its unrivalled
impact up-~n world history, but
also because of its unique (
and, I believe, true) claims. It
claims to be God's revelation of
Himself - a claim made by no
other bo9k.
I do not defend any denomination (I am not a member of any
religious organization), since
true Christianity is a rel{ltionship, not a religion. Many with
denominational affiliations will
also acknowledge this.
An honest, objective study of
the Bible will result in a conviction of its veracity and contemporary value. I challenge you to
look for answers there.
Because of my relationship
with Jesus Christ, made possible by His death and resurrection for me, I find meaning to
life and have certainty as
to my
eternal destiny. I wish the qme
for you and welcome an opportunity to discuss my Savior with
anyone who wishes to know
Him personally. He's worth the
effort.

Take, Take, Take, and no release
Bass fishing in Wisconsin declines
by Andrew Fendos
Outdoors Editor
It's no secret that Wisconsin's
bass fishing isn't what it used to
be. As many fishermen can
already attest to, there doesn't
seem to be nearly as many bass
in lakes as there were just a
few years ago.
Now you're reading this and
thinking, Hey, wait a minute.
Are there less bass or just more
fishermen? What are the facts?
Yes, there is more fishing
pres8ure. This is an agreement
most Wisconsin fish managers
partake of but, at least due in
part by those increased numbers of fishermen, there are
fewer bass.
There probably aren't as
many bass in your favorite lake
as there use to be. And there
sure isn't as many of the larger
hog size bass that bass anglers
fantasize about; on many lakes
those five and six pound females are a vanished dream.
The availiable data supports a
grim picture of a decimated
bass fishery. As a result, some
experimental rule changes are
already being tried on certain
·lakes to determine whether
quality bass fishing can be restored. These rules are restrictive, including slot and limit sizes. They may even become the
future limits . on bass fishing
throughout Wisconsin.
In the meantime, it is time
for bass anglers to begin thinking about the consequences of
using their sophisticated fishing
techniques on the waters of Wisconsin. It seems obvious that
bass fishermen have proven
they can catch bass. The question now is: are the same peoready to restrain themselves
to catch and release sport fish
in order to preserve a great
gaple fish? Apparently, anglers
are prepared for sacrifices. The
greater question may be: Is the
general public, the meat fishermen, ready to go along with it?
Bass have been overharvested. After_a lot of research, it is
my personal opinion that the
bass of Wisconsin have not been
able to withstand the pressure
of fishermen and the technological know how that is thrown at
them. And as a result, the quality of bass fishing has declined
drastically.
The statistics from curren.t
state studies ar~ extraordinary.
On two nights in the early
1970s, DNR crews electroshocking on northern Wisconsin lakes
netted four 17 inch bass, eight
18 inchers, and considerably
more large fish in the lunker
catagory along with many
smaller bass. The same story
held true for southern lakes and
rivers. Bass fishing then was
alive and well. There were plenty of lunkers, breeders and
adolescents.
In five nights of shocking in
the summer of 1986 only two 18
inch bass, five 16 inchers, and
only two 15 inchers were netted
on the same lakes. A seasonlong creel census on the lakes
revealed that only bne very
large bass was caught; an 18 incher on opening day. The DNR
census counted only 315 bass
caught on the lakes from May
to November. Anglers kept 173
bass. This amounts to a fishing
success rate of 0.153 bass per
hour on the lakes.
What does this mean to the
fish manager·? An excellent
catch rate would be one fish per
hour. A half of a bass per hour allowed anglers to work bass

Creation and evolution
l
Jim Burns .
Special to tbe Po/IJter
Who am I? Where am I
going? Where did I come from?
The last of these three basic
questions of life served as the
basis for Dr. Foreman's threepart Earth Week address. The
genealogical question "Where
did I come from?" is the driving force of study of life's Qrigins, a question which science
can only attempt to answer due
to primary causes no longer
observable.
As one compares the two models of origins (creation and
evolution), it becomes apparent
that both models are diametrically opposed to one another.
Creation science involves a
process of special creation
which is supernatural and contains purposeful design. (Vestigial organs don't exist to the
creationist). Evolution, on the
other hand, states that life
came from non-life and is continuing to go through a process
of changes from simpler organisms to more complex life
forms.
.
When asked whether or not
creation science is truly
"science," Foreman replied:
"Creation and evoiution straddle the line between philosophy
and science. Either both must
be handled as science or both
.as religion." The reason: Both
models are steeped in prior
assumptions, yet both derive inferences from analysis of scientific evidences.
Dr. Foreman's second lecture
proved to be even more stimulating as he left philosophy behind in order to tackle scientific
evidences for the creation model. Covered in his critique were
the categories of: cosmogony,
thermodynamics, _abiogenesis,
macroevolution, design, and fossil record, age of the earth
(creationists believe the earth
cannot be over 20,000 years
old), and human behavior.
·
Audience members were hit
with dose after dose of scientific evidences favoring creationism with the strongest argu7
ments being in the realm of
thermodynamics and design.
Creationism is supported by the
second law of thermodynamics
which predicts matter and energy to increase in entropy or disorder over time. The complexity of the DNA molecule simply
does JlDt allow for time and
chance to produce life - only a
divine creator can account for
such a feat.
Students and faculty who
stayed for the third session witnessed the most important topic
of the evening: How your view
of origins affects your view of
the environment. Simply stated,
an atheistic world view advocates the following: origins
guided by materialistic evolution, an environment which ·is
all profane, ethics which are irrelevant and all life forms being
equally important. A pantheistic
or "New Age" view believes in
chaperoned evolution, an environment which is sacred, relative ethics and all life forms
being equally significant.
The theistic world view, on
the other hand, supports a crea-

· expect. This may not be a sustainable way to go. The basic
way food production expanded
until about 1950 was to increase
the acreage under cultivation.
Since then we have increased
productivity per acre. The number of tractors in use worldwide
in 1950 was 6 million, now it's 24
million. One twelfth of the
world's daily oil production goes
to farming and it takes 1.14 barrels of oil to produce one ton of
grain.
Wind power is another frontier to explore. As the costs of
wind generation units come ·

Workers in San Francisco, Arctic villagers, and Mongolian tribespeople are powering their
electric devices with wind generated power. The idea of wind
power had been used for centuries, but has only generated

SecUring the Big Chip
Significant legislation focusing
on outdoor recreation, wildlife
management, recycling, lakes
and water management, and
toxic and hazardous waste has
recently been signed into law by
Governor Tommy Thompson.
"This is a great day for Wisconsin," said Department of
Natural Resources Secretary
C.S. Besadny during an April 18
bill-signing ceremony at which
Governor Thompson authorized
the $6.9 million purchase of
6,855 acres of land on the Chippewa Flowage in northern Wisconsin.
The purchase of the flowage,
affectionately referred to as
"The Big Chip," is the cornerstone of irilportant enVironmental-related legislation signed
into law by the Governor during
the past two months.
"Securing the near-wilderness
character of The Big Chip for
future generations to enjoy is a
once-in•a-lifetime opportunity,"
Governor Thompson said in
authorizing the purchase of the
14-mile-long flowage that covers
· 11 natural lakes and lowlands.
While purchase of "The Big
Chip" has, understandably. attracted an outpouring of support
and media coverage, Governor
Thompson is quick to point out
the significance of other "key
pieces of legislation that will
also have positive impact on
Wisconsin's quality of life."
"I am very pleased with the
support and partnerships that
have made these important legislative opportunities possible,"
Governor Thompson said. "Protecting, maintaining and improving Wisconsin's quality of
life is one of my deepest commitments, and these measures
are an excellent vehicle for
helping to do exactly that."
Specifically, the "Quality of
life" legislation recently signed
by Governor Thompson includes:
-senate Bill 364 •. . authorizes
$3.~4 million for state parks improvements in f!scal year 198889. The money will be used to
repair and improve campsites,
toilets, showers, roads and
trails at many of Wisconsin's 60
state parks · and forests. An ,
additional $1.66 million was
authorized for local park improvements and development.
"We have -an obligation to future generations to see that the
vast natural resources preserved within our parks and forests
are maintained an~ enhanced,"
Governor Thompson said. "I
am extremely pleased with this
parks improvement bill, and the
bipartisan effort that went into
this legislation."
·
-senate Bill 345 ••• dubbed the
"Waterfowl Habitat Management Bill," allow,g the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) to create vegetative
waterfowl nesting structures in
state navigable waters and to
use aquatic vegetation weedcutting machines to create better nesting, brood and migration habitat.
-senate Bill 372 •.• assists
landowners affected by deer
damage to crops by reducing
the damage claim deductible,
from $500 to $250. The bill also
clarifies that in situations involvmg damage of land located
in more .than one county, the
landowner will be assessed only
one deductible..
-Assembly Bill 419 ... provides more protection for
endangered and threatened species by increasing the penalties,
particularly in cases of intentional violation.
-Assembly Bill 195 .. . creates
a boat titling program and requires the DNR to share titling
information with boat manufacturers, at least four times a
year, to validate hull and
engine identification numbers
provided by applicants for certificates of title.
The benefit of this bill is that
it will help boat owners by making it more difficult to steal
boats and easier to recover stolen boats. The bill also provides
greater consumer protection
and assurance to boat purchas~
ers that they are not buying stolen boats.
-senate Bill 124 ... changes
state hazardous waste laws to
conform to federal law so that
the DNR can maintain its
authority to administer the fed-
eral law in Wisconsin. The new .
law also goes beyond federal
compliance requirements, to enable the state to m_ore effectively deal with hazardous waste
violators. The eiuorcement tools.
provided for in this legislation
are already being utilized by
the Department of Justice in
the Middleton (Dane County)
landfill situation.
The law requires the DNR to
provide immediate notice of
any imminent and substantial
hazardous waste danger, arid to
issue any special order to take
correctiye action.
The law also revises penalties
to reflect the seriousneSI! of violations. It also broadens the
DNR's investigative powers, enabling the DNR to spread remedial costs more fairly and over
a larger group of responsible
parties. Under the new law, the
DNR will also be able to provide more information about
waste sites, in an effort to as-

in north central Wisconsin,
fishing for white bass and walleyes on the Wisconsin River is
good. In many areas, burning
permits remain cancelled due
to extremely dry conditions. In

In Kewaunee County, fishing
for rainbow trout is still good,
especially in the early morning.
Trolling for browns has been
poor on the lake side, but a few
browns are being taken near
Algoma close to the shore at the
mouth of the stream. Browns
are also biting at the Kewaunee

good for the fishermen as a
short line between the hook a
bobber equals sensitivity and
aids in setting the hook.
Another tip to remember is
that unlike deeper water in
other lakes, McDill is shallow
and panfish will' not school
tightly. They do, however, congregate in and around good cover. When one is caught, it pays
to work the surrounding area
for more.
McDill pond with its dense
weeds produces an awful lot of
fish for the taking. For me,
some of the best tasting fish are
found here. McD~ is also very
close making short fishing trips
pos$ble, as well as profitable.
Whatever your reason for fishing here is, if you are not pulling them in at a steady rate rethink what you're doing, and try
a little of what works for me.

kies. This is unfortunate because with the reporting in
magazines and video and television shows, a person can learn
in an hour what it formerly took
him a lifetime to learn.

state. The DNR is going to have
to place regulations in some
parts of the state, he predicted.
The new management policies
must be simple enough to
enforce so that fishermen are
able to understand them and
support them.
If the views of some northern
fishing guides are any criteria
new regulations might trigger a
slugfest. Not all relish taking
bass off of spawning beds. Even
those that do, however, say
they're urging their clients to
release the fish. One quide

He estimated that b8ss numbers
were reduced by 50 percent in
the spring of 1986. It was decimated, he said of one lake.
Many guides often take clients
onto spawning bass to give
them some action when the

guide stated that the early
opener does damage bass fishing, but he is not convinced it's
the sole or major. factor in reduced bass numbers. There are

He also believes in the old adage about 10 percent of the fishermen catching 90 percent of
the fish with the exception that
now 30 to 40 percent of the fishermen now know how to catch
them. In fact, out of the seven
northern guides I talked to only
one said that the lakes could
take more fishing pressure.
While the debate goes on,
here is some advice on releasing bass. When a bass swallows
a night crawler or worm, cut
the line and release it; it's
chances of living are high. Release the fish immediately, and
release it near its spawning

W _hiting
Epting the great outdoors
paper
by Andrer Fendos · .
/
Outdoors E4itor.
Food is one of my favorite
subjects as I am sure it is with
a _lot of people. I was fortunate
enough to have been taught
from the start of my hunting, ·
experiences that eating small
game is one of the true pleasures that nature provides.
It all started' when friends of
mine began showing me the rigors of small game hunting.
You see as wild about guns and
as cr;azy as these graduates of
the UW Stevens Point, Colle¥e
of Natural Resources use to lie,
they did have a deep loyalty to
and appreciation for anything
that a hunting lic~nse allowed
to be eaten. And from this, I
developed my interest and feelings for what hunting and the
outdoors can be.
The upper northeastern corner of Portage County has one
of the most isolated~and far removed public hunting grounds
in the area. In my early years
of hunting it was here, on the
end of Wigwam Road just off
Highway 49, that I learned the
woodcock I had just removed
the life from and was about to
discard as useless was indeed
highly edible. Now I )(new that
grouse were indeed a culinary
treasure all on their own. So,
when I saw one pushing
through the bushes I sent some
number six shot after it. Not
being a marksmen, the grouse
got away. I did send a few
feathers airborne however, and
on investigation I found that I
had perforated a tiny, strange
looking bird with a long beak. I
was about to just leave it there
when my part~er kindly informed me that it was indeed a
woodcock. After stomping
through the wet lands a~d
swamp ne~ to the stream (~t­
tle Wolf River) and blowmg
away countless bushes as well
as 5 of these so called timber
doodles, we decided to take a
break.
.
Now Wtgwam Road was
named- after a tavern and it
was there that I thought that
we would remove one loaq for
another. ~at was not the case.
After _bwlding a p~seful yet
:We ftre, I was g1~en a lesson
m the art of cleanmg a woodcock. Cutting off thei~ t~ny
beak laden heads and sticking
my fingers through the opening
was the worst of it. Holding it
firmly and quickly pulling the
front off produces a s_ma~l
ch~ of meat. After washin~ 1t
off m. th~ stream and re~ovmg .
the skin 1t became recogruzable
as the breasts.
~ow placing .a fr~sh cut green
stick loaded wtth little breasts
over a hot bed.of coals may be
a bit different to most people,
but t~ me, after doin~. it just
on,•e, 1t became the maJor reason that game was not tak~n
home any more. The taste ts
just one of those t_hlngs that
you have to try to believe.
Besides woodcock there is
also lots of other game to be
found here. Oqe of the most
plentiful is the Squirrel. Squirrels, however, are a little bit
more tricky to cook over an
open tire. It must be done
slowly so the meat doesn't
toughen up and you should use
a metal stick or grill rack or
you could lose it to the fire.
The results are the same as
with woodcock. An unbelievably
edible treat. Butter or some
type of sauce works great on
roasted squirrel and it helps to
prevent the game from drying
out.
One of the better spots for
squirrel hunting here is across
the stream. Once you walk in, it
is possible to drive in, you'll
find that the road ends. at a
shaky yet usable foot bridge.
Finding yourself on the other
side you should bare southeast.
Here you'll come across a
broad band· of old, mast oaks.
Sit down with your back up
against one and wait. SquirrelS
love to talk and make noise so
it should not be tough to locate
some. A patient hunter will
just wait until the tree rodent
exposes itself, blast it, and
walk away as a successful hunter.
The only time I use spices
cooking small game over a
open flame is when I have
come across an unlucky grouse.
Grouse can become unlucky
very easily as the males are in
to machismo and like ·to beat
their breasts. True that this is
part of their -mating and territorial rituals but, it is disastrous to them. The beating of
their breasts sounds like an old
outboard motor that will start
but will not stay running. This
may be a bit hard to comprehend but once you have heard
it, you'll never forget it. The
rest of finding grouse is simple.
When you've heard it drumming, or beating its breast,
start a slow walk in that direction. Grouse are semi social
and where you find one you'll
find a few. Keep you gun up;
grouse will flush qlftckly.
Cooking them is a little more
of a .task. I like to remove all
of. the skin and fat. This will
help get rid of the gamey taste
but may cause the bird to dry
out when it is being cooked. So,
when cooking one I use a mixture of butter, salt, pepper and
a little garlic to baste them
with. I think that the pepper
and garlic bring out the true
flavor of these birds.
Thus, from the hedonistic
experiences of eating, this 40
acre public hunting and fishing
grounds became one my favorite and the most used hunting
spots. Rabbits, squirrels, a few
pheasant, grouse and wild
chickens as well as timber doodles have all found their way
to the flames of a camp fire
here. A few hours spent walking quietly down the old logging
roads and along the edges of
the woods produces a good mixture of game for a hunter's dinner, as well as an enjoyable
outdoor experience.
I'm sure that if you explore
this area for hunting the way I

The year in review
So here we are once again. Not only are we nearing the end of
another academic ye~, but an athletic one as well.
Stevens Point sports fans weren't disappointed by another
stellar year of bouncing balls, crushing tackles, and big splashes
in the pool.
The quest for a third straight All-SportS trophy began in· September and will end with the completion of tennis, baseball, and
track. In keeping with the sports tradition at Point, UWSP is
currently in second place in the all-sports race with 38 1/2
points. UW-Whitewater currently occupies the top spot with 39.

A first time for everything still trying to adjust to college
The Pointer football team, under coach D.J. LeRoy, had their
finest season ever. They finished the year 12-1-1 and became Co-National .Champions
by tying Pacific Lutheran, 16-16,
in the title game. Jay Downey
was named defensive player of
the game.

threw for over 5,000 yards and
40 touchdowns. Fifty-five percent of the offense was via the
pass, 45 by the run.
Records, Records, Records
The football team also set
over 20 new team and individual records, including most wins,
longest pass from scrimmage,
and most passing yards in a
season.

Point hoopster Todd Christianson nailed a 15 foot jumper
at the horn to beat UW-Eau

third in the WSU Conference) at
home. EC had demolished Point
a week before at their barn.
Most underated coach
Pointer men's basketball
coach Bob Parker is the easy

the season with a respectable
14-13 record, despite his late appointment to the post after the
departure of coach Jay Eck after the 86-87 season and despite
the defection of two of the ·
team's more talented players,
Tim Blair and Eric Gardow.

DoJbleheader results in double pleasure for Point
by Andy Goehe
Staff Writer
The UW..Stevens Point baseball teaml improved their
overall record to 23-5, with a
doubleheader sweep of the Marian College Sabres this past
Tuesday at University Field.
Point came from behind to
· win the first game 6-5, and settled for a 9-7 - victpry in the
nightcap.
- In the opener, the Pointer
offense came back to life in the
bottom half of the sixth inning.
Down 5-2, Mike Hanrahan singled in two runs to make the
score 5-4, he then stole second
with Dan Dantoin as the batter.
Dantoin then drilled a two run
homerun, to secure a 6-5 win for
the Pointers. Hanrahan was 2-4
in the game with three RBI's.
Dantoin also went 2-4 with three
big RBI's and hit his team-leading eighth HR of the season.
Tony Bouton picked up his
fourth win of the year, working
1.2 innings. He- allowed no runs
or hits, walking one and striking out two Sabre hitters. Bouton's ERA is now ail impressive
2.74 on the season.
UWSP head coach Randy
Handel commented on game
one. "I thought we were a little
sluggish. We woke up in the
sixth inning and came up with
some big hits to get the lead."
In the second game Joe Kimmeth notched his second win of
the year working two innings
for Point. He gave up two runs,
one earned, allowed one hit,
walked one and fanned three.
Scott Anderson picked up his
first save of the season.
Offensively, Hans Lyberg
went 3-4 at the plate with one
RBI. He also stole home on a
double steal. Rob Olson, a soph-
omore outfielder from Stoughton, WI, was 2-2, with a triple,
one RBI and two walks, to add
to the Pointer attack.
"We are giving up too many
runs, we have to make our
opponents earn their runs," said
Handel.
"Defensively, I was a little
disappointed with our pl8v. At
times we looked sharp and ·
other times we looked a little
sloppy. We are going to have to
control what we can control and
then get some help from the
other teams in the league, if we
are going to be in the title
chase."
one RBI and a home run. Hanrahan had two hits in four at
bats, with a double and two
RBI's. Point straqded five men
on base.In the nightcap, the Pointers
scored eight runs on 10 hits and
stranded nine. Hanrahan and
Lyberg each went 2-4 at the
plate. Paul Speth and Dave
Langbehn had two RBI's
apiece, while Dantoin and Speth
each added a HR in the loss.
Speth pitched 6.1 innings,
allowing 10 runs on 11 hits. He
walked five and fanned four
Hawks. The loss dropped his record to 1-1 on the season.
Handel simply summed up
the doubleheader. "When we
needed something good to happen, something bad would happen."
UWSP is now 4-4 in WSUC
Southern Division league play.
The Pointers will conclude conference play this weekend, hosting Platteville on Friday, May
6th, at University Field. They
will then travel to Oshkosh on
Saturday to square off with the
Titans. Starting times for both
gam~ is 1 p.m.
Last Saturday, the Pointers
dropped a pair of critical conference games to the Whitewater Warhawks, losing the opener
15-7, and falling .13-8, in game
two.
In the first game, UWSP
pitclring gave up 15 runs, including four homers, on 17 hits.
The hurlers also allowed five
walks. Scott Pompe suffered his
first league loss, dropping his
conference record to 2-1, and
his overall record to 5-2.

Duame K. Counsell will retire
at the end of May as a faculty
member in the School of Health,
Physical Education, Recreation
and Athletics at the University
of Wisconsin-stevens Point, with
31 years of serVice.
"It's been a great field to be
in - I've enjoyed every bit of it.
Of course, this is a great school
to be at," he said.
Since informing colleagues
and friends of his retirement
plans, they have made arrangements for the establishment of
an endowment in the UWSP
Foundation to support an
annual scholarship for a student-athlete planning to become
.a teacher, recreation leader or
coach.
In addition, a dinner has been
planned for Counsell on Friday
night, May 13, at the Sky Club
in Plover. The event is open to
the public and tickets may be
purchased from the Health,
Physical Education, Recreation
and Athletics Office at 346-3147.
Counsell and his wife, Wanda,
are planning to move to their
native Wisconsin Dells where he
owns and operates Parsons Indian Trading Post. The business
is reputed to be the · largest of
its kind in the Midwest dealing
in Indian arts and crafts. His
parents took over that business
about 60 years ago and he has
been involved in its operations ·
during summers for most of his
life. .
At the university, Counsell
has coordinated the instructional program in the area of recreation and also taught specialty
courses in driver training, safety education and physical education.
.
From the time he joined the
faculty in 1957 until 1968, he
was the head football coach,
leading his 1961 team to a conference championship with a 9-1
season record. Counsell also
was a head baseball coach and
assistant basketball, wrestling
and track coach for the Pointers.
After graduating from Wisconsin Dells High School and
attending UW- Madison for a
short time, Counsell entered the
Army and served on World War
II duty from 1943 to 1946 in the
78th Infantry in Germany. Upon
his return, he and his wife enrolled at UWSP, both graduating in 1949. For one year during
his student days, he served as a
quarterback on the Pointer foot·
ba11 team. He later earned a
master's degree from UW-Madison and studied at several other
campuses across the country,
doing extensive doctoral study
at Indiana University:
He served from 1949 to 1955
as a teacher and coach at Wisconsin Dells High, where he
was named the "winningest
coach" in football in 1951. He
later taught and coached at
West Allis Central High for one
year.
Counsell is amused to · recall
changes at the ·university, considering it had only 600 students
when he came to campus as a
freshman 42 · years ago. But he
says he is impressed with the
quality of its programs. Because of its central location, he
believes that with effort from
coaches, there can always be
enough good athletic recruits to
assure the school of being "repres~ntable in any sport."

The tough competition at last
weekends 'R'AIA National Qualifying tennis meet took its' toll
on all the UWSP players except
the doubles team of Bryan Zowin and Gary Polston. Zowin and
Polston made it to the semi-final doubles match before losing
to eventual winners, the brother
team of John and Jeff Aranda
from UW- Milwaukee.
Among the team competing
were UW-Stout, Eau Claire,
River Falls, LaCrosse, Milwaukee, and Oshkosh.
The tournament format consisted of single elimination for
both singles and doubles
matches. The pairings were
strictly random.

Christman clears . National Qualifying hurdle
The nagging hamstring injury
that has plagued the season of
UWSP hurdler Mike Christman
surfaced again last weekend at
the Drake Relays, in Des
Moines, Iowa.
But luckily, this time; it happened after he placed second in
his 400 intennediate hurdle heat
with a time of 52.31, to qualify
for the National Track and
Field meet in two weeks. "I
held him out of the final as his
.sore hamstring was very tight
and we did not want to take any
chances," said coach Rick Witt.
"His time in the prelims would
have been good for fourth place
in the final."
"He was eXcellent in. the bur·
dles. His time is the best in the
NCAA to date. He was the only
non-Divison I athlete to make
the trials."
Other Pointer individual
efforts where turned in by Tom
Moris, loth in the 5,0Q0m run
(14:38.9) and Eric Fossum in
the steeplechase, 12th in 9:17.3.
Triple jumper Scott Laurent
sprang to a 47-4 leap imd
earned pr8ise from Witt.
"Laurent tied the second best
jump of.his life and would have
jumped better with three more
attempts if he could have made
finals." .
UWSP's top relay finish at the
prestigious iJwite was the 4x800
relay team I of Steve Wollmer,
Curt Justman, Rich Meinke and
Joel Skarda, which placed ninth
in 7:43.3. Skarda had the top
split time of 1:54.0. "The 4x800
just missed placing with their
ninth," said Witt. "It was a
good effort with three of the
four men running at Drake for
the first time."
The sprint medley also placed
ninth, despite the last minute
replacement of Christman with
Pete Larsen. Rob Witon and
Tim Jahnke ran the first two
200m legs in 22.6 and 22.3, respectively. Larsen then flew to
a 49.8 400m ~d Steve Allison
ran a 1.51 in the 800.
"The sprint medley guys did
a great job especially Larsen
who filled in for Christman in
the 400. Allison's 800 was awesome and that is an indication
that in a month he will be ready tO go under 1:50," said Witt.
The same four runners combined for an 11th place in the
4x100 relay in 42.7.
Although the ~ce medley
squad did not place, they ran to
a 10:16.4 clocking. Steve Allison
started off by running a 3:08 for
the three-quarter mile course,
followed by Brad Houslet's 49.6
400m. Steve Wollmer covered
the 800 portion in 1.58, and
anchor Tom Moris finished with
a 4:08 mile.
"The distance medley did not
run as well as they are capable
of," said Witt. "Three of them
were running for the second day
and were not up to par. Olson
came down with a sore throat
and was also sub-par."
Wayland Baptist won the
overall mens title.
Womens Results
The Pointer womens team recorded only a fifth place heat
finish in the sprint medley relay. The team of Beckie Sherwood, Maureen Seidl, Barb
Knuese, and Carrie Enger finished in 1:52.27.
. Three field event performers
placed second and one placed
third at the Roonie Open in La-.
Crosse on Saturday.
Shot putter-Beth Mears had a
heave of 12.64 meters and a
throw of 32.58 in the javelin.
Sue Collar cleared 5-2 in the

work potentially linked the
losses to canine }>arvovirus
(CPV), a relatively new- disease
discovered in dogs in the late
· 1970's.
Studies conducted · by DNR
wildlife· disease specialist, the
late Dr. Terry Amundson and
veterinarian Jeff Zuba, confirmed the susceptibility to
CPV. Wild rac<;oons are susceptible to a similar but different
strain of the parvovirus.
CPV is an intestinal virus
spread through infected feces.
It causes diarrhea, vomiting, fever, dehydration and sometimes
death in dogs. A vaccine has
been successful in preventing
the disease in domestic dogs.
CPV may be one of many diseases which - can significantly
reduce wild wolf populations. A
wolf's susceptibility to this disease is dependent upon factors
which affect the overall health
status of the animal such as
age, nutrition, climate, existence of parasites and other diseases, according to researchers.
It is not known what specific
factors cause some wolves to
die and others to survive CPV
infections.
"In - an effort to combat the
effects of CPV, we attempted to
capture pups in 1986 and 1987 to
vaccinate them against the disease," said DNR wolf biologist
Richard Thiel. "Unfortunately,
the wary adult wolves kept
their pups away from the traps ·
and only one pup was caught
and vaccinated in each of the
two years." Research is contin:
uing to try to identify a better
method for delivering the vaccine to wolf pups.
In 1986, DNR biologists carefully monitored the presence of
ji litter of wolf pups in Lincoln
County's Averill Creek pack because CPV infected feces were
found at their den site. "One
pup that was captured had the
disease, but when we caught
him again last summer when he
was a yearling, he was
healthy," said Thiel. Thiel documented litter survival in anoth,
• er pack later that year.
By 1987, litter survival was
approaching the pre-1983 levels.
One pack, the Bootjack pack of
western Oneida and Prince
counties, successes of the past
two summers are encouraging,"
he said. Surveys conducted this
past winter indicate that pups
are present in four of the five
packs in which litters were born
last spring. This brings the total
timber wolf population in northern Wisconsin to between 22 to
24 animals.
I
Wolf pups receive temporary
immunity to CPV _and other disease agents through their mother's milk. Since this temporary
immunity will dissipate over
time, these endangered animals
will always face the possibility .
of contracting this and other
potentially life-threatening dis-
eases.
·
"Commercial vaccines are·
still being investigated for their
safety and effectiveness, so
there is hope that-disease can
be somewhat controlled," said
Zuba. "Vaccination of susceptible wolves by D~ biologists
against CPV and other diseases
may increase their chances of
survival.''

36 percent). And, the editors
and leaders themselves believe
the generally conservative leaders more closely match students
as a whole. Almost half the editors consider themselves more
liberal than other students.
When it came to identifying
national problems, editors and
students leaders more often
agreed. Both groups rated the
national debt as the "major
problem which should be solved
in the next two years." This is
up from last year, when the
problem ranked second.
Funding for education was
ranked second this year among
student leaders, but fifth among
editors. In · 1987, more leaders
(41 percent) also mentioned
funding for education than did
editors (14 percent). Maybe the
leaders more closely identify
with the average, often struggling students they represent.
AIDS has remained in third
place for two years now, but nucle~r war and peace issues
dropped from fourth to fifth
place. The problem of poverty
and the homeless rose to fourth
place in 1988. Several problems
rated in the top five last year
were rarely mentioned this
year. Student leaders and editors no longer view the outgoing
Reagan administration as a major problem. But more surprisingly, less than 2 percent of the
leaders and editors listed problems in Central America or the
Middle East. Whatever the rea- .
son, students in 1988 have focused on domestic issues.
And the Major Qampus Problem?
Editors and leaders agreed
about campus problems. Once
again, apathy headed the list.
One-fourth of the editors and 29
percent of the leaders listed
apathy as "the major problem
that should be solved on your
campus in the next two years."
The two groups also agreed
on the second-ranked problem:
campus facilities and services.

·"a tendency for college sweethearts to remain together after

Summing Up
Though several respondents
wrote that students buy ,more
condoms now,· many feel there
hasn't been a significant change
in students' sexual behavior. ·
Despite increased awareness,
"I don't feel that many students
have adjusted their behavior,"
wrote one leader. Another said
students simply "worry more
now."
Maybe the ~ig changes in behavior still lie ahead. After all,
for the second year in a -row,
AIDS ranked third among campus problems.
On the subject of campus
problems, editors and leaders
pretty much agreed on the major ones. They also agreed
about national problems, though
their focus was different this
year. Domestic issues, as compared to international problems,
were even more important in
1988 than they had been in 1987.
Perhaps that's partly due to
the presidential campaign. Certainly, the race has captured a
lot of attention-as well as student volunteers.
Signs are the election will be
close among college voters, as
it may be among all voters.
Maybe students reflect the politics of their parents and teachers more than we realized-or
more than they'd care to admit.

A hiStorical issues workshop
on "Women in European History" for secondary teachers will
be offered this summer at the
UWSP.
The university has received a
grant to provide free tuition to
the applicants who are chosen
to participate in the instruction
from June 20 through July 1.
Professor Stephen Pistono will
direct the workshop and provide
the instruction. Letters of applications may be sent to him in
care of the UWSP Department
of History.
UWSP is associating with The •
History Teaching Alliance, an
outreach program of the American Historical Association in
sponsoring the workshop, which
· will include six hours of followup sessions in both the first and
second semesters of the 1988-89
school year.
Pistono says there is criticism
by many secondary teachers
that the history they studied
only considered those women
who stepped outside the norm
and acted as powerful men. The
· ideal women of earlier periods
were to be chaste and obedient,
busy in the home and silent ouF
side it. The Catholic Church
provided two models - Mary,
the Mother of God, and Eve,
the temptress. "The realty of
women's lives, however, was
richer and much more .ambiguous," he explains.
Pistono contends that women
of all classes worked not only in
the home but outside as well.

LET THEM EAT COOKIES.
The Cookie Party running for
election at Indiana U. says it
will buy a cookie for every student if it wins. That's more
than the crumbs students have
received from the student association in the past, says the party's presidential candidate. The
main goal of the Cookie Party
is the elimination of the student
association entirely. What's
even more interesting, the Indiana Daily student has endorsed
the off-beat party- not because
it wants to abolish student government, but because it wants
to thoroughly examine it.
(Flash: The Cookie Party was
defeated.)

Most campuses were quiet following the deployment of U.S.
