Point!" Those words began the
performance of the "All American Men," a group of male exotic dancers who appeared in
the Encore on Tuesday, November 30. This was the first in a
series of programs designed to
spur student discussion on the
issue of pornography.
According to Maurie Kim of
the Campus Activities Offic-e
- staff, "We're challenging students to attend the programs,
become educated on pornography, and then decide for themselves how much is too much
for them personally."
The show began with individual "get-acquainted" appearances from each of. the dancers.
Each danced a second time, .
often intermingling with the
-audience, and then ending with
a finale in which all performed
together. The predominantly female audience responded to the
performances \,Vith enthusiasm.
A large majority of the crowd
remained for a panel discussion
immediately following the show.
People in -the audience were
encouraged to ask questions and
state their opinions on the issue
of pornography. Members of the
panel included: Lee ·Burress,
emeritus professor of English;
Douglas Henderson, psychology
professor; Greg Sinner, SGA
member; and, Linda Martin

was a surprise to its sponsors.
The film was made in 1980 by
the National Film Board of
·eanada and later went on to
win many awards.
A few words were said before
the showing of the film to prepare those with little or no
exposure to pornography. The
audience .was warned that the
film is · not objective and was
not designed for entertainment.
The audience was also told that
they did not have to agree with
the point-the movie makes, but
mainly that they become
exposed to ·this very real problem. The audience was also told
that men and women would
most likely have very different ·
opinions about the contents of
the film.
The film was a look at many
forms of pornography. Some of ·
.these were in magazine form,
others in , advertisements, and
also, of course, the club dancers
and pornographic movie thea- tres. The film also explained
how the pornography industry

industry.
Near the beginning of the
film, one female nightclub dancer was introduced and remained
throughout the production. She
was a very open person who
was not ashamed of her profession. She described the strip
joints as "honest arenas where
men act -on an animal level."
She also said that it was a
place where she received
"Immediate Love" from all the
men who watched her. This
same dancer accompanied the
makers of _this fijm on all the
investigating that followed ·and,
because of it, later chose to
leave her profession and go on
to stu~ying drama.
The interviews showed many
viewpoints to this issue. An art.
ist suggested that what our
country n~ is eroticism, and
what we got was pornography.
The owner of five pornographic
magazines saw nothing harmful
in them, but said that they have
become much more explicit. He
also said that because of women's liberation, men are no•
longer feeling their dominance over women. Therefore, they
tum to such magazines, which
succeed in degrading women.
He also felt that the magazines
are a form of sex education and
that he is producing a product
for a need in society.
Another interview was done
with a former male actor in
pornographic movies. He told of
how they insisted that he look
like he did not enjoy the sexual
acts he performed and said he
did not feel degraded by any of
it. He did, however, feel that it
was degrading to the women.
The main point the film tried to
make was this: that .women are
the victims of pornography.
The pornography booth in the
U.C. Concourse attracted many
opinions, and aroused some
strong emotions. The booth was
set up in two parts. There was
a three-part survey and a curtained booth in which there
were 11 pictures and a video to
see.
The pictures in the booth represented a sample of potentially pornographic material. All of
the pictures were relatively
tame as the results show. Only

Don't forget to regisfer!

Registration has been held in
the Quandt Gymnasium for
years. This will soon come to an
end due to the age of computers
and teleCommunications. By the
time students register for Fall
1989 courses, on-line computers
will be used in the registration .
process. The new system will
involve several changes in the
registration procedure.
'
. The Student Services Building
will be used as the location for
registration. Computer termin- ·
als will be set up with a computer operator at each one ..
During their designated time,
approximately 30-40 students
will present their schedules to
the computer operator, who will
then enter the tentative schedule into the computer system.
Also at this time any changes in
the schedule will be adjusted.
After the final COW'se schedule
is compiled, the ~rator will
lock the schedule into the system. The new procedure will
take four to six weeks to completely register all students.
UWSP Registrar David
Eckholm feels that the n~ system will enable the university ·
to better manage enrollment .
and to create a less hectic registration environment for students. The possible disadvantages to the use of on-line computers is the cost of the computers and also the fact that it
would take four to six weeks to
completely register all students.
Using the Quandt for registration is cost effective and efficient because it enables 7,0008,000 students to complete registration in one day.
.
Another procedure for registration is the use of touch-tone
technology. 'Ibis procedure enables a student to register for
courses from home by using a
touch-tone telephone. The phone
is actually turned into ·a data
entry device. In order for a student to use this method, he/she
needs to gain information regarding the courses prior to
using the touch-tone method.
Each COW'se is assigned a five
digit number, and each number
on the phone represents a certain action (eg. Number two re.
presents the process of adding a
course). After the student ·completes the entry (or the digits, a
recording will let him/her know
whether the course was added,
whether the class was filled, or
if there was a need for more information to be entered.
At this time, Madison and
Oshkosh are the only two universities in the system which
are using the touch-tone method
for registration. Madison began
last fall with registering seniors
and graduate students. They
hope to use the system to register all students by next fall.
Other branches, including River
Falls and Whitewater, are considering investing in the touchtone technology. SteveJIS Point,
however, is going to first initiate the use of on-line computers. There is a possibility that
UWSP may decide to use touchtone registration sometime in
the future.

it gets worse.
Registration day finally
arrives. Despite the fact that
you have the latest possible registration time, you are up at 8
o'clock a.m. Your radio is tuned
to 90 FM (for the first, and
probably only, time this year).
At 10 o'clock, three of the five

to add to their schedules.
After scanning the classes yet

_The Mystery of Barney Street
Look for Barney Street on the
street signs in Stevens Point.
You're not going to find it But
more than a quarter of a century ago-if you were around
then-you might have.
You would have found Barney
Street ~tween - Franklin Street
- and Fourth Avenue. And you
might also have found the Har-ry Zdroik family living there.
Harry Zdroik was the son-inA law of the man the street was
named after, land donor Barney
Kostuchowski.
'
,
Barney Street had been
around since 1947. By July of
1962, however, something called a ~lution of Discontinuance
was ISSUed and Barney Street
was no more.
•
No more, that is, except as
the name of the annual literary
magazine created by the UWSP
University Writers in 1978.
Barney Street, now entering
its 11th year of publication, is a
collection of poems, essays and
short stories by university students, alumni and local residents.
It has been described by Michael ~arachow of the Pentagram Press as a "mix of writing : .. _readable, variable-as
/
different and pleasing as Wisconsiil in aJ1 its moods and seasons." ·
Submissions are welcomed for
next year's edition of Barney
Street. The deadline is February 1, 1989.
Manuscripts should be typewritten. but dot-matrix printouts will also be accepted. Remember: neatness counts.

Barney Street is only one of
the projects of the University
Writers.
Informal workshops are held
every other Thursday evening
in the Academic Achievement
Center where different writers
meet and discuss their work
which can be anything_ from
poetry to fiction.
So if there is a poet or storyteller in you just dying to come
out, this is the place to emerge.
One thing the University Writers need to do is explain how
they got the name for their
magazine.
Why "Barney Street"?
"Frankly," says Tanja Westfall, a senior and current president of the UWSP University
Writers, "I don't know."
"It!s just the name the
University Writers decided on
all those years ago and ·have
used ever since. No one really
knows the reason why they
chose "Barney Street."
Maybe you know. If so, the
University Writers will' be hapPY to hear from you.
But uirtn then, the mystery of
Barney Street remains unsolved

The Minority Music Extravaganza was a part of the Minority Awareness Conference held
at UWSP this past weekend.
The Musical Extravaganza featured gospel choirs from UWOshkosh and UW-Whitewater,
along with Asian, Chicano and
Native American Dance
Troupes. Also featured was a
special solo performance by
Joelyn (Jazzy) Ward-Beckly,
uWSP's own student, singing
"He Looked Beyond My
Thoughts and Fulfilled My
Needs."
.
The Musical Extravaganza
was a potpourri of ente$inment. The UW-Oshkosh Choir, a
newly formed four women, one
male choir, sang songs such as
"If You Don't Know Jesus,"
"Do Not Pass Me By" and "Joy
Cometh in the Morning."
The Asian American Dance
Troupe created an atmosphere
of beautiful native costumes, as
they danced to songs about the
coming of the New .Year, loyers
being separated by their parents and an old Chinese dance.
The Chicano-American dance
troupe danced to some catchy
Latin-American jazz rhythms .
from the Big Band Era. The
dance troupe consisted of four
couples.
The Native American Dance
Troupe pow-wowed a grand en- .
try to a Native American dance
which included a flag song and
a veteran's song. One of the
dances that the group sang and
performed involved group · paraudience
ticipation; which
members enjoyed. .
The UW-Whitewater Gospel
Choir sang a variety of songs
that received a grand applause
from the audience. The
audience feedback was so great
that the choir retUrn for an unexpected encore, which was
also outstanding.
The Minority Music Extravaganza was a very interesting
variety show and well worth the
tiJne to see.

Pointer's streak continues.' ..
River Falls next
cord 4 assists and extended his
point scoring streak to 32
games.
by Brian Posick
Contributor
The UW-Stevens Point hockey
team was looking for its loth
and 11th straight wins of the
season this past weekend.
Standing in the way was the
College of St. Scholastica
Saints. the Saints entered the
weekend series with one win in
eight games. But on a positive
note for the Saints, they're riding a ' modest win streak-of 1.
· They beat Mankato · State 4-2
November 26. So, easy weekend
for the Pointers, right? Not necessarily.
.
Fridat night the Pointers
, needed a · strong 3rd period to
beat CSS 5-3. Point led by a
goal twice in the 1st on goals by
left-winger Mike Racz (7 goals,
8 assists, 15 points) and senior
Rick Fleming · (4-6-10). But
Scholastice tied the score twice
in the frame, the final goal
coming at the horn by forward
Lange Palmer.
The Saints didn't exactly
come marching into the 2Rd period, but they did march off
with a 3-2 lead. Steve Sayovitz's
p6wer play goal at the 7: 08
mark gave CSS its first lead of
the game.
The score remained 3-2 halfway through the 3rd and the 849
fans at the K.B. Willett Arena
began to get a bit nervous.
Then on to the ice stepped the
line of center Joe Butcher (4-48) and wingers Mike Stahley (7-.
5- 12) and Tim Hale (~).
Butcher, a junior from Sun
Prarie, returned to the Pointers
a couple of weekends ago following a fractured jaw. In his
first game back November 26
versus ·Bemidji State, Butcher
scored the game-winning overtime goal on an assist from
Hale. Friday night's play was
much similar. Hale imposed a
strong foreclleck on a Scholasti-
ca defenseman, got the puck to
Stahley who fed Butcher for the
tying goal at 9:47. Just one minute 37 seconds later Butcher assisted Stahley on the game-winner.
Senior Pat McPartlin (6-8-14),
the only Pointer in school history to record a short- handed
goal (he had four going into the
weekend), tallied hif fifth with a
half minute left to seal the victory. On that play, center Ralph
Barahona was officially credited with an assist, extending
his consecutive point scoring
streak to 31 games.
Goaltender Pat Watson saved
24 of 27 shots on goal to improve his record to 8-0. Rick
Royal, CSS's netminder, ·stumbled off the ice after saving 42
of 47 shots.
Pointer coach Mark Mazzoleni
before the weekend had informed his squad not to take
the Saints Ughtly. Although it
seemed they may not have taken his advice at first, the
Dawgs did Saturday night.
The Pointers outshot Scholastica 46-25 and scored three goals
in both the 2nd and 3rd periods
to beat the Saints 7-2. Racz and
winger Shawn Wheeler (7-6-13)
both recorded their 6th and 7th
goals of the year and each added an assist to lead the Pointers
to their 11th straight win. Again
Royal took a beating from the
Pointer offense as he stopped 39
shots. Sophomore goalie Kevin
Marion went the distance for
Point and saved 23 shots. Fleming, Scott Krueger (2-2-4) and
Pat Moran (1-0-1), who returned
from a three week layoff with a
leg injury, also scored for
Point.
.
Barahona again kept his
streak intact. Although his UWSP record breaking goal scoring
streak of 11 games was halted
the previous night, he did re-
Stevens Point improves to to-o
(11-0) in the Northern Collegiate
Hockey Association, 12 points in
front of Eau Claire. St. Scholastica· drops to 1-9 in the- conference. Next for the Pointers;
they travel to River Falls to
play the defending NCAA-Division III National Champions.
.
-
River Falls was the NCHA
champion last season finishing
18-6 (31-6- 1), 1 point ahead of
Bemidji and 4 over Point. However, this season the Fal(!ons
are 3-5-1 and are ineligible to
win the conference title. The
NCHA released sanctions on
River Falls in October because
the school was in violation of
the NCHA's 30 games per season limitation.
More importantly now is that
these games this weekend mean
a lot to both schools. The Falcons need to beat favored Stevens Point at least 3 of the 4
games tl}e teams will play _this
season for a good chance to win
an at large birth to the NCAA
'playoffs in March.
·
For Stevens Point, its an
important series psychologically. The Pointers have lost 10
games in a row to the Falcons,
including twice last season in
the NCAA Quarterfinals at
Falls. Point has not beaten the
Falcons since February 13, 1986
when they won 3-2.
Of all the matchups in Pointer
Athletics: Pointer basketball
versus Eau Claire, Cross Country and track versus LaCrosse,
the rivalry between the Falcons
and the Pointers may be the
best.
The games will be played in
the W.H. Hunt Arena in River
Falls Friday and Saturday
nights at 7~30. You can listen to
both games live on WWSP,
89.9FM, beginning at 7:20 with
the Mark Mazzoleni pregame
show.

The primarily young but dedicated' Pointer men's basketball
team will enter WSUC play
against UW-La Crosse and UWEau Claire this weekend with a
4-2 record. Although the Poi.Qters are not expected to have a
very successful year in conference play, heaq coach Bob·
Parker and his assistants are
looking for enthusiasm and an
all~ut effort from their team in
a tough conference.
The Pointers opened the 198889 season by hosting the fifth
annual Tip-Off Tournament.
The Pointers advanced to the
championship game of its own
tournament for the fifth year,
after defeating Mount Senario
(Ladysmith, Wi) 72-70 in a
tightly played ball game. In the
championship game, the Pointers shot a respectable 61 per. cent from the ~oor, as ~ey
were led by five players sconng
in double figures. Junior Scott
Anderson (Auburndale, Wi) shot
over 70 percent from the floor
and totaled 25 points, Jon Julius, a freshman Jrom Lena, Dl.,
scored 15 points, and 10 points .
eacft were scored by senior Michael Lehrmann (New Berlin),
Mike Hatch a freshman from
Hartford and freshman Jim
Glanzer from Onalaska.
Although the Pointers had a ·
two-point lead at the half and

the Pointers made 13 of only 20
attempts. The final score was
104-95.
The Pointers improved their
record to 2-1 with a 69-00 easy
victory over the Green Knights
of .St. Norbert College November 22. The Pointers led 36-28 at
the half and by shooting over 70
percent from the line in the second half were able to thwart
any challenge by the Green
Knights. Scott Anderson led the
Pointers with 23 points and
Mike Lehrmann tossed in another 13 points. Jon Julius led all
players in .rebounds with 10.
The Pointers now lead the series between these two schools
41-25.
· The Pointers .first trip on-theroad was · a successful one as
they defeated Cardinal Stritch
89-83. Jon Julius had an outstanding performance as he not
only blocked five Cardinal shots
but grabbed 10 rebounds and
was the Pointers' leading scorer
with 17 points. The Pointers
continued their winning ways on
the road as they traveled to
Madison to play Edgewood College, where they promptly disposed of their competition by a

Well, here it is, two weeks
from the end of the season and
the Green Bay. Packers are
competing for the worst record
in the National Football League,
and with it the .first piCk in the
1989 NFL colleg'e dtaft. Hopeful·
ly, they won't blow it by wiDDing one of their - last two
games.
)
Now. if the Pack does get that
first pick, what should. they do ,
with it? Should they waste that
pick like they have done in the
past, or will they use it to their ·
best advantage? Perhaps the
best use of it would be as trade
bait. The biggest weakness on
the team is in the offensive line,
and maybe Green Bay could
use that first pick to get a couple of decent offeilsive linemen
and a future first-round pick.
Anyway, on to the rest of the
NFL.

Lastly is the student who tries
to break the registration roles
in an attempt to get that ideal
schedule,' much like the fox who
breaks into the henhouse. While
this sly creature may get away
with his infringement, the consequences of getting caught are
extremely, and necessarily
tough. The student may not get

January?

C011trlbutor
A cold :f'iovember wind clawed
at the cox-hers of the little cabin, and rain that was almost
snow drummed and slushed on
the roof and windows.
Inside, though, there was meriment that comes from good
company and the certain knowl· edge that tomorrow's hunt will
be just as successful as today's.
As we patiently waited around
the dinner table sipping our favorite drinks and conversing
about our memorable days of
duck hu~ting, sweet smells
came from the simmering pots
on the stove.
And the,re were smells too,
from the food and from the
waders drying in a comer and
from · soc~ . hung overhead and
from the guns glistening with
fresh coats of oil.
And there was the dog,. the
spunky black Labrador named
Tasha, tonguing herself clean
on a dry floor, aching muscles
soaking up the welcome heat.
She, like the hunters, had had
a good day. And soon she and
her partner named Gunner, a
big brawny Chesapeake, would
share in the bounty of it.
And what· of the hunters who .
were there that stormy night?
They sat around the table, dry
now and comfortable in fresh
clothing after a day of being
wet and cold.
Coming from Stevens Point,
we all share similar interests
and value the strong friendship
shared between us which has
kept us together ever sirtce we
met in college.
Ricky Hatten, for example, a
senior· here in college, contributed his Dodge Power Wagon
to pull the "barge" (a 18-foot
Jon boat) along with his dog
Gunner and as well as his gun
to the venture.
Marko Henry, a native from
Marinette, brought his dog Tasha and enough decoys to
stretch across the Great·Lakes.
Mike Merchinski, nicknamed
"Merch" lived up to our expec-
ous anecdotes, which kept us
amused throughout the night.
And, to boot, he . was the chef
for all our meals in the cabin.
Lonny Techel, who is believed
to have been born with a duck
call in his mouth and a pocket
full of shells, is- the person responsible for bringing us together and making such a trip possible. This warm personality
and zeal to hunt wakes excitement in all of us.
Rick Techel, Lonnie's uncle,
had driven across the state
from his home in Appleton to
spend the weekend in the muck
and the mud of the Mississippi
River. Always cheerful and funny, Rick livens up the cabin
with his witty humor and zany
gestures-a quality that is delightful after a long day of hunting.
And I, the recorder, who feels
compelled to write this story,
relishes the comaraderie that is
contained in the small cabin,
and eagerly anticipates the next
hunt.
The early opening of duck
hunting season in October is
fine for some but the real duck
hunting, the best of it, takes
place in November, when the
swamps are- cold and the edges
of the potholes are ringed with
ice.
The mighty Mississippi River,
whose mysterious waters contains a rich food supply of
aquatic vegetation, is a resting
point for thousands of migratory ducks. Often ducks can be
heard at night migrating, and
that Friday evening we stood
momentarily outside our cabin
listening intently to the exhilarating crys and quacks of wild
ducks, as they nestled on the
water.
Getting up at 4:30 Saturday
morning is not something to be
day it would be well worth it.
With two boats neatly stacked
with diver decoys and hunting
gear, the devoted hunters were
on the water by 5:30. .
The cold, wintery north wind
whipped our exposed faces as
we headed out on the large
expanse of open water. But in a
way it was as refreshing as a
hot cup of coffee in the morning
that perks you up with fervor.
We selected a spot on the river that. wa8 partially protected
by a long narrow island that
consisted of dead trees and
grasses. Even that didn't slow
much of the cold blast from the
north, · but it would provide
enough of a barrier to step>
crosswinds and allow ducks to
drop in.
·
Decoy placement is an art to
our . group and since we had
about two hundred to put out
before the start of the morning
hunt, we quickly created a lifelike scene of rafting ducks that
stretched over a hundred yards.
In the vicinity large muskrat
houses propped out of the water
and would be our sites to shoot
from.
told us all we need to know.
They moved. Some high but
many stayed low maneuvering
skillfully above ·the crest of the
waves. To some the enticement
of the bobbing blocks was too
much as they rocketed through
our spread at warp speeds.
.And we did get birds. Shooting selectively, we picked out
divers; ringbills, scaup and an
occasional bufflehead-ducks that
are relished by those who hunt
late in the season.
They were beautiful birds, the
ones we dropped, fully feathered and heavy breasted with
distinctive black and white
markings.
~
The hunters shot well and
when it was all over we each
had our bag limit of 3 birds.
And the dogs retrieved beautifully.
We left the river then, after
the decoys were picked up and
bagged. The snow was heavier
and the wind was gathering
strength.
Their bellies full, sleep would
be sweet that night. And they
would do it all again the next
day. .
It was, for certain, what real
duck hunting is all abotit.

The ·final conflict
By Jeff Miller
/ Contributor
_
So why then do professors con:.
tinue to pass out these ulcer inducers during exam week with
smug looks on their faces. Don't
they realize that 99.9 pereent of
the material is forgotten five
minutes after students have
been tested on it earlier in the
semester.
The library during this period
is more hectic than Grand Central station during rush hour.
You have to pick a number just
to get to a photo copy machine
to run off notes because you haven't been to class in three
weeks.
You have to realize that students are not to blame for these
problems that burden them. At
the beginning of each new semester, students promise to reform and vow to be the most
diligent they can. They are simply victims of circumstance
who, when at exam time, are
placed in an undesirable setting. Next time you professors
are about to give a cumulative
final, stop and think about your
wonderful students, for procrastination knows no boundaries.
- As the final weeks of the semester come to an end, students begin to contract a case
of the red eye, become nervous
and edgy and have sleeping disorders (due to caffeine overdose). What is the cause of ~
sickness plaguing the students?
It's the dreaded disease of · finals phobia.
Final exams are the monsters
that come back to haunt the
students at the end of each semester. These dreadful tests
strike fear in the hearts of every mortal college student.
What can they do to protect
themselves from its evil
clutches? What can the average, unarmed, ·procrastinating
students do when they are trying to read 20 chapters the
night before a final?
The so-called comprehensive
finals are the nails in the coffin.
They are composed of material
studied throughout the entire
course of the semester. These
terrifying examinations force
poor students into a skimpy diet
of No Doze and Mountain Dew.
Choruses to perform
The Pointer Men's and Women's Choruses will perform in
a joint concert at 8 p.m., Tues. day, Qec. 13, in Michelsen Hall
of the Fine Arts Center.
The concert is open · to the
public without charge.
. The men's group, led by Da-vid Saladino, director of choral
activities at UWSP, will sing
works by Lassus, Purcell,
Thompson, Brahms, Starer,
Appling, Hayes; Walker, BartholQmew and Loewe.
The women's choir, conducted
by faculty member Jean Saladi-

Interested in the lottery since

That Chicago 101m sets up a
dramatic finish for the National
Football Conference Central Division. If the Bears and the
Minnesota Vikings both win on
-Sunday, it will set up ·a divisional championship matchup for
the last game of the regular
season. Chicago would enter the
game one-ganie ahead, but if
the Vikes win that game on
Monday, December 19, then
they Would alsO Win the division
by virtue of two wins over the

Regardless of the results of
the regular season, however,
expect to see the Bears and the
Vikings clash again before it is
all over. The second place team
in the divisioo would go into the
playoffs as a wild card team,
and since they are arguably the
best teams in the league, they
will probably meet in the NFC

President Reagan stated recently that he would not release
papers being sought by the lawyers of Ollie North. North's lawyers are seeking 350 documents,
which total about 4,000 pages.
Reagan stated that it was his
duty to block tbe release of the
papers.
Marlin Fitzwater, of the
White House, said that the
President's statement should be
interpreted to1 mean that it
would be up to the judge as to
whether or not to deciassify the
documents.
Not long ago, a similar scenario was being played outonly then it was President Nixon who was refusing to release.

the Northern Collegiate Hockey
Conference and the Wisconsin
State University Conference and
are looking like a contender for
an NAIA national championship
next March.
UW-Madison is also having
problems with its athletic de.: '
partment. Their difficulties,
which stem from financial
shortages, have prompted
athletic department officials to
ask the Board of Regents to
charge all students a $20 athletic fee. In return, students would
be allowed free admission to all
athletic events except football,
basketball and hockey.
The problem is that the
events they will get free .attendance to are not the ones the students want to go to. That is why
they are having the problems in
the first place. No one goes to
these events, so they are running at a loss and the athletic
department as a whole cannot
support them.
Perhaps the best,solution is to
cut the budgets of, or eliminate
completely, the teams which
cannot opperate within the
budget constraints of the athletic department as a whole.
