Okray of the kitchen. While stuffing the cookies into my mouth, I suddenly became overwhelmed with the most intense feeling of paranoia I had ever experienced: Bambi would be home soon - she would catch me in the act - she would never speak to me again - never again would we play Doctor never again would we play Milkman - never again would she tie me to her bedpost, undress me with her teeth and rub Emotion Lotion all over my body - never again would we take 'a bath with Mr. Bubble and my plastic boats - and even worse, she would burn the recipe for the cookies from heaven - never again would my taste buds wallow in a sea of paradise - life would no longer be worth living. I ran into my roomate's bedroom. With the skill and under- . handedness of Lex Luther, I left behind the necessary incriminating evidence, deftly spreading a few crumbs on his desk, saCrificing one-half of a cookie and leaving it on his nightstand, carefully placed next to a glass of warm milk. I was in the clear. -Feeling relieved and slightly terrorized, I stumbled .back to my room, turned my amp up to 11 and started to jam. But after only a couple of power chords, I was forced to stop. The screaming voices of the oatmeal raisin Christmas cookies were calling out for me again. I was starting to shake uncontrollably - I made a run for the window, but an invisible force field kept me from jumping out. I was trapped in my apartment. I was not having a great day. By now, the voices were growing louder. Laughing at me, in a voice which was a cross between Darth Vader and Linda Blair in The Excorcist, the cookies cried out, "You mother-, Ha Ha Ha Ha... you cannot resist... come and finish us off, Ha Ha Ha Ha... " But before I could reach f~r my rosa- ry beads and Bible, I was WISKed away by a 200 mph gust of wind and flame, blowing in the direction of the kitchen. I grabbed at doorframes and furniture along the way, all to no avail: there I was, face to face with the possesesed, talking cookies. They :were . driving me insane. I had to make them stop .. .1 screemed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. '' I reached for the telephone book: I had to get a hold of a good exeorcist, but the book burst into flames and the telephone exploded. Suddenly, the power went out, daytime turned to night - all of the evil in the univetse lay in front of me, concentrated, like a black hole, into one plateful of oatmeal raisin cookies - I had to do something - so I screamed again, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh,'' and again, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh," and again ''Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ,, But then, it hit me: there was only one way to drive away the Satanic forces: I had to eat the cookies - every last one. ·I WAS insane! I jumped onto to the table and dove head first into the pile of cookies, not taking a single breath until I had consumed every last crumb. I crawled down, wimpering like a baby - the voices were gone. Once again, ·they had gotten the best of me. Once again, I had lost the battle. I glanced at my watch: 6:52a.m. The power came back on and the sun reappeared. Although Bambi would not )lelieve my incredible story, I had the satisfaction of knowing that I had just come up with tqe topic for my next column. On the way back to my room I licked all of the crumbs off of my roomate's desk and nightstand and finished off the 'glass of milk - life was good. I was ready to face another day. Peace.

The Dec. 1 issue from a "frustrated student" hits the nail on the head with its accurate description of the Senate. It is very unfortunate, however, tllat coming forth with criticism only leads to defensive insults from our speaker himself! The "guy in charge," the representative of the Student Senate, instead of considering these criticisms or asking how he can work to improve the Senate's public relations problem with both the students and the members of the Senate themselves, publicly turns on the students he claims to have done so much for.

His bullheaded, brusque demeanor in dealing with people who deal with the Senate is the source of complaint for students, faculty, local politicians and community members. He complains loudly about the tarnished image of the university and the students who attend it, and how we must look in the communitY, yet his own image needs a very thorough polishing. It is unfortunate that his hypocritical attitude must prevail as the view of our entire Student Senate. Why doesn't he consider what he coulq do to improve his own image and the unfair (sometimes) bad rap that the Senate has may disappear. After all, he is th~ key representative of the Senate as the position of Speaker of the Senate. This is his responsiblity. Maybe then he'll think less about attacking the people he urges to voice opinions. By the way, I did vote in the last SGA election.

Tickets are on sale at the College of Fine Arts and Communis:ation box office. Admission is $3 for the public and $2 for senior citizens and students. . Faculty member Susan Gingrasso says the concert explores the art form of dance, movement, people in different situations and what the aydience brings to each performance. The concert will open with an improvisational lecture/demonstration by Diane Rawlinson, a new faculty member who is a specialist in liturgical dance. She will be joined by 11 student performers who will illustrate various types of movement. She says the purpose of the demonstration is to help the audience access dance, the most basic language, as a means of expression and communication. Rawlinson also will perform "Beatitudes;'' a solo work created for her by Carla De Sola, director of Omega Liturgical Dance in New York City, a leadirig expert, author and choreographer in the field of liturgical dance.

But we're owned by Religious Holdiays Incorporated, Santa protested. Not anymore. They decided that your outfit here wasn't serving their best interests, so they sold you off and I'm the guy who snapped you up. Picked up Easter as well. That rabbit sure is an irritable fellow, isn't he? Now just wait a minute, said Santa. This has to be a mistake! Nope, no mistake here. I'm the new owner. And there's going to be a lot of changes around here too. Like what? asked Santa. Well, for one thing, we're changing the name of this location to 1'I"tlm,p Pole. Yes, that's much better. And this shop will be called Trump's Workshop. What? '; Yes, .and we have to start a major media campaign. I've arranged for Mrs. Claus to have a cover story .in People magazine and for you to go on the David Letterman show. David Letterman? And maybe Donahue too, but that's not final. Oh, and I talked to NBC and they said they'd get Rudolph a guest shot on the Cosby Show." It's at this point· that Santa faints and we get our first commercial break. The second half is essentially the media campaign and Christmas day itself. In the end, the man who bought Santa's business makeS a lot of money and is happy. Rudolph gains critical acclaim and an. Emmy nomination for his role on The Cosby Show, begins dating Molly Ringwald and is happy. And Santa gets f! headache, winds up on Geraldo instead of Donahue and is J:JlisJrable.

We looked at different people doing different things, in a: different foreign atmosphere. While looking · through an excited crowd, I saw old people enjoying themselves, reminiscing on their old heritage and telling their grandkids what it was like "way back then." It was a great day for our group and the other thousands of people enjoying ethnicity in its very prime! I highly recommend that people go and see it, if not for the first time then for a second or third. On behalf of all the Foreign Language Clubs, I would like to extend a great gratitude of "THANKS" to the Student Government Association for their generous contribution to our Folk Fair trip. Without their helpfulness and generosity our trip would have become a financial burden. Thanks so much!! I'd also like to thank Brenda Thompson (Spanish Club treasurer), Joan Anderson (French Club president), Duong Duong (Spanish Club president), Michelle Szymkowiak (Gennan Club president), and -many oth...... ers who contributed to the organization of our trip, which was very well planned, and those who supported UWSP at the Folk Fair!

A time out after a technical foUl on the Pointer's bench seemed to spur the team on a bit as the Pointers cut the lead from 23-11 to 31-28 with just over four minutes left in the first half. This led the Bluegolds coach to reinstate his team to its starting lineup, he had previously replaced many of the starters with players off the ben,ch, wherein they built their teams lead -up to 11 points by the half 43-32. Although the Bluegolds encountered foul trouble early in the second half, the Po~ters were in the bonus with less than seven minutes gone in the second half. Their taunting defese enabled them to build a 20 point lead at the 14:46 mark. Two timeouts by the Pointers in this final half did not have the same result as the one they had · called in the first half, as both timeouts did not allow the Pointers to cut the Bluegolds lead. Instead, it seemed to urge the Bluegolds to play harder and this resulted in them building on their lead. With 1:40 remaining in the game, Coach Bob Parker of the Pointers conceded the game to Eau Claire, as he made full substitutions of his starting team. The final score read 81-60 Eau Claire. The Pointers now stand at 1-1 in the WSUC and are 5-3 overall. ,The Pointers will play seven games over the semester break with four of these games being at home.

Connolly's time of 10;22.61 in the 1000- was his best of the year. Even more impressive was his 100 freestyle, a distance he covered in :48.99. More so than Connolly's time, was his defeat of one of the country's premier sprinters, 6'8" Tom Huebner. Huebner's Iiatuaral height advantage seemed only to act as an impetus for a much shorter 5'10" Connolly. Huebner, who was ahead by almost a second at the half-way mark, was overcome in the last 10 yards Qf the race by Connolly' who set his head and did not breathe for approximately eight yards.

On that day at 3:28p.m. the long slide to shorter days reverses and they begin to get longer again. Because of the lag between astronomical events and climatological ones, the average weather won't ~ gin to wann up for. another five weeks-in late January. That means there . wiH still be plenty of cross-country skiing opportunities for you! JUst two days before Christmas will be the full moon. It has long been folk tradition to name the full moons and this one is no exception. It could be caUed the "Moon Before Yule," "the Long -Night Moon," or "The Cold Moon." Each one is a good description of the winter season! As you have probably noticed, the moon seems brighter in the winter and does indeed travel a higher path in that season. .This may be nature's way of making up for the absence of the sun. This Christmas season is one more thing that has been affected by last summer's drought. It seems that there has been a good supply of Christmas trees for the demand, but even future years may feel the dryness we experienced. Foresters in Pennsylvania reported that even some older trees to four feet tall did not survive. Pruning was also difficult as trees grew more laterally than straight up, because of the hot summer weather. Land Trusts and conservation efforts have been springing up across the country to preserve open lands. This is to insure that urban sprawl and runaway development doesn't threaten -the pastoral landscape we all like to see over the Christmas season. New Hampshire recently began its Land Conservation Investment Program (LCIP). This program is designed to preserve farmland, salt marshes, forests, open spaces, and other unspoiled natural areas. So far, it's working and has been hailed as an economical, innovative way to protect open lands. . ~'' There are many areas in Wisconsin that have been preserved through public and private efforts. One such area is the Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor. Baileys Harbor is in Door County and the Sanctuary is a 1,000 acre preserve dedicated to wildflower protection. Its unique location and orientation to Lake Michigan allow a boreal or northern forest to grow there. Most boreal forest grows hundreds of miles north in Canada. A good Christmas gift that's good for the land and the future would be a gift membership with the Ridges for only $5. Write the Ridges Sanctuary, Membership, Baileys Harbor, . WI 54202. The Trout Unlimited (TU) group is another way natural areas are receiving protection. MADISON-A nearly empty state park, the silence broken only by the crackling of a fire, or if you are lucky, the calls of a pack of coyotes, the hooting of an owl or the pecking of a woodpecker. Too good to be true? Not for those campers hardy enough and well prepared, to enjoy winter camping. Twenty Wisconsin state park and forest campgrounds are, open to winter camping. From wilderness backpacking campsites to drive-in campsites with electrical hook-ups, winter campers can choose parks offering a variety of conditions and actiVities. The growing popularity of · cross-country skiing has generated more interest in winter camping, according to David Weizenicker, director of the DNR's Bureau of Parks and Recreation. Every state campground open to winter camping offers access to cross-country ski trails. Several parks gear event toward skiers. Mirror Lake State Outdoor repo.rt MADISON-The northern forests are once again alive with activity! With the required permit in hand, people are looking over private and public lands for just the right Christmas tree. Downhill skiing is in full swing in the northwest, but cross-country and snowmobiling enthusiasts could use additional snowfall. In Sawyer County, the lower end of the Birkie Trail is tracked and grooved and many cross country skiers have been using it. Snowmobilers are reminded to have their machines properly registered before operating them. Ice conditions on most northem lakes are still unsafe; before this recent warm spell, the ice was only two to six inches thick in most areas. It can be dangerously thin where there's ' a spring or current flowing. Anglers should check with local resorts or residents before venturing out on the lakes and should use caution when they do go out. Good catches of walleye have been reported in the Brule area, and fishing is generally good for most species in Polk County lakes. Walleyes are hitting on Round and Nelson lakes in Sawyer County. Ice fishing has begun on some waters in Shawano County, but there's a lot of open water yet. Walleyes and northerns are startjng to bite. In southern Wisconsin, ice conditions have been very poor and anglers are urged to wait until the colder temperatures bring safer ice. They're catching some nice northerns and panfish at Marshmiller Lake in Chippewa County, but in general the ice on western Wisconsin lakes is not good. . Late ruffed grouse hunting is described as just about ideal in the northwest. Recent snowfall in the Wisconsin Rapids area should produce good cottontail rabbit and late season bow deer hunting. There were good numbers of ruffed grouse and snowshoe hares observed in Florence County during deer season, so there should be some hunting opportunities there this month. Rabbit hunting is excellent in Shawano County. In southern Wisconsin, a lot of gro~e are reported in Grant County, where hunters are having good success. Rabbit and Park near Wisconsin Dells and Lake Wissota State Park near Eau Claire will both hold nights of candlelight skiing this winter. Mirror Lake's candlelight skiing will be Jan. 7 and 21 and Feb. 4 and 18; Lake Wissota's are Jan. 21 and Feb. 4 and 18. Both parks offer winter camping, but because of the popularity of the candlelight events, prospective campers should reserve campsites in advance. Depending on the park, other popular winter activities at. state campgrounds include hiking, snowmobiling, ice fishing, showshoeing, skating and sledding. The campground at Bong grouse hunting is fairly good in state Recreational Area in Sauk County.

Devil's Lake State Park, near Baraboo, is one ot the most popular winter campgrounds in the state. On a nice w~kend, anywhere from 10 to 40 sites may be used.

Beautiful scenes, lighthearted fun, gently religious - Hallmark has so many ways to help you wish . "Merry · Christmas!" One of th~ most frequent legal questions students ask is: "What are my rights i( my landlord fails to return my security deposit?" Failure to return a security deposit is governed by Wisconsin's administrative Code. Agricultural Rule 134.06 in general requires a landlord to return a · security deposit within 21 days after surrender of premises by a tenant. If the landlord fails to · return the deposit, he must furnish the tenant at his or her last known address, with written reasons why the landlord ill withholding the deposit. Among the reasons a landlord may legally give for failing to return a security deposit are the following:. 1. Tenant damage. 2. Waste or Neglect of the premises. 3. Nonpayment by the tenant of: ·~· c::> -*~ ·' UNIV.:..._RSITY STORstuoENTs HELPING,STUDENTS Ualmslly Cuter 346·3431 ©1968 Hallmark Cards, Inc. (a) rent (b) utility bills (c) mobile home parking fees The administrative code requires the landlord to be rather specific if slhe has decided to withhold a portion of a security deposit. The code requires the tenant to leave a forwarding address with the landlord. It is a defense under this section if the landlord can't mail written notice that he or she is withholding a deposit because the landlord can't find the former tenant. The administrative code itself contains no Specific penalties if a landlord fails to abide by its provisions. But the statute authorizing the Agricultural Department to promulgate rules of this type does provide a penalty. WIS. STAT. 100.20 (5) pro- vides that a ttman~ may obtain double damages if a landlord fails to notify the tenant as required by law that the landlord is withholding a J>9rtion of the student's deposit. Thus, if the deposit is $350.00, and the landlord violates rule ·134.06, absent other considerations, the student can demand $700.00 from the landlord. Students should be cautioned that failure to notify a tenant in · writing within 21 days as to why a landlord is withholding a · deposit, does not end a dispute. If back rent is owed, if the premises have been damaged, if utility bills are due; or if the landlord has some .other claim these can against a tenant, be considered by the court when awarding damages. . . Thus, if the tenant failed to pay the last month's rent under a month-to-month tenacy, and if the rent is $350.00 and if the landlord violates rule 134.06 and if the security deposit is also $350.00, a probable decision by a court would be sa. follows: A.
