Helping _Hands
Dear Editor:
I am writbtg in regard to the
article entitled "Helping
·Hands" in the January 26 issue. ·
There are a few inconsistencies
that I would like to straighten
out.
I think a more accurate word
in plad should be assisted. I appreciate the people mentioned
in the article, who were available to give me assistance when
I went to them. However, just
like other adjusting freshmen,
staff members are not the only
people who give assistance,
friends also play an important
part.
When I asked Ann PerkiDs,
my RA about the different clubs
and organizations on campus,

in. And as for the Homecoming
dance, Ann went with her date
and I went with my date, (Ann
was not my date and I was not
hers).
Michelle Treleaven, the Hall
Director, did not come to see
me frequently to see if I was
having any problems. She did
stop by to visit as she did :with
everyone else and just like everyone else, I went to her if I
had a problem. Michelle never
took me to hall meetings. She
only showed me how to get to
the first one.
Michelle did not put me in
contact with John Jury. I met
him at a hall program. The

One last important thing I'd
like to mention. I did not appreciate my See,ing Eye dog's

without my permission. It is
very important that no one calls

Dear Cal Kuphall, I am writing in regards to an incident
that last weekend at the hockey
game against River Falls. I understand that capacity limitations exist due to the fire restrictions, but if you have to
turn one person away I expect
that you continue to turn away
everyone else who follows.
My sister, brother-in-law and
their two young children drove
over 100 miles· to come up here
this weekend for the basketball
game. They never experienced
a hockey game so we decided to
stop in for the last period. We
were turned away and understood at the time, but I was informed later on that you let
four friends of mine in after
you turned us away. I was very
upset when I heard this, therefore I decided to bring it to
your attention. I hope that in
the fu~e you will be more consistent with these tYPe of situations.

Raisa said when the two met iil

Nancy replied icily, ''I was told

At the Washington meeting,

Raisa, a Capricorn ("overexact. ing, rigid"), vs. Nancy, a Cancer (''touchy, unforgiving").

A semester in Germany
r------------r-------------------------,
by Gail BasF ler ,
Contributor
It was tl)e spring semester of
1988 and, as usual, my concentration slowly began to drift
away from tt ; professor to various posters and pictures
around the room.
One particular poster always
seemed to capture my attention: it was the display for
UWSP's Semester Abroad Program. I began to think about
how great an experience it
would be to actually travel to
Europe. But, as you know, it
was always the sort of thing
that you thought about, yet you
never took too seriously. Well,
eventually I took it seriously.
During college is the most
ideal time to go abroad. So
many times people are afraid to
actually commit themselves to
something so drastic in comparison to the secure, sheltered
routine of the average campus
life. However, as I see it, it is
the last chance you'll get to
travel somewhere in which your
accommodations, your travel
arrangements, your tours and
tour guides, etc. are all arranged for you for so cheap.
Well, as the story goes, I
committed myself to Point's semester to Germany.
At first it was all a sort of
dream, but as meetings got
more and more intense and
when the first payment was
sent, the whole deal became
more serious and more real.
The entire summer of '88 I
· spent planning for the semester
as well as working three jobs to
make the money for it. By midAugust, I began to get
"stressed-out" about the whole
deal and nearly convinced myself that I should just go back
to Stevens Point like I'd been
every year for the past three
years. Luckily, I talked myself
out of that.
On August the 3oth, I met, for
the first time, all of the 17 other
students from all over the U.S.
who were to become my 2nd
family. The program took us
through Czechoslovakia, communist East and West Berlin,
Austria, and West Germany.
And, for those who later decided to stay longer and travel
on their own, the rest of Europe
was orily a train ride away.
As students of the 1988 Program, we were the first U.S.
group to ever acquire a visa to
study for so long (three weeks)
in communist East Germany. In
fact, an East German newspaper printed an article on the
group's presence in their country.
The experience of living in a
communist country is one you
never forget. · People waiting
three hours in lines outside grocery stores to get four bananas
per family, since fresh fruits
are so rare there, 16-year waiting lists to get a car, 12-year
waiting lists for phones, fear of
being listened to when you're in
your own home. The list is endless.
The stay there was nearly a
month; enough .time to make us
all appreciate what we have in
the U.S. and have us all aching
to get back into Western culture
and civilization. Unfortunately,
we had to leave behind many
dear friends that we'd met
there.
October brought us to Munich,
West Germany, where we spent
the bulk of our trip. Of course,
October means Octoberf~st and
Octoberfest means beer and
beer means... well, something
was telling us that we were
really going to like West Germany!
For the first two weeks in
Germany, the group was separated and accommodated · by
various families thro~out Munich. Many of these families
were to become very close '
friends.
Following the family-stay,
students who didn't stay the
rest of the semester with their
families came to live at the Hotel Uhland for . the final two
months.
The last. two months we had
classes with English-speaking
professors at a nearby school.
Classes were relatively mild,
allowing us plency of time for
traveling, sight-seeing, and of
course savoring some of the
world's best beer.
"'
Most weekends we were able
to travel throughout Germany
or 'take quick trips down to Austria for some very' incredible
skiing.
Every day was a new experience. Although knowing the lan~
guage wasn't necessary, many
of us found our comprehension
of German improving with every conversation. Simple tasks
such as riding the bus or buying
clothes opened your eyes to how
other cultures operate. Enormous 600 year old cathedrals
and castles were merely a walk
away. I can't remember a time
where there wasn't somthing to
do and see.
The experience of seeing Europe is something which changes yotir life forever. I could go
on to write a novel on all the
things I saw and experienced
but to really understand
yourself, you have to see it
first-hand. You come to realize
that America is but a fraction
.of this entire complex world;
that there are hundreds of other
cultures out there with entirely
different ways of living. You
also make some of the best permanent relationshipS you'll ever
know. But moSt of all, you'll become a better, wiser, and more
worldly person. So don't let the
opportunity pass you by.

peregrine may not make great
drama, but it was none the less
a historic encounter.
"This was the first time that
we know of that one-year-old
peregrine falcons successfully
nested and produced young,"
says Charlene Gieck, a nongame biologist with the department of Natural Resources' Bureau of Endangered Resources
(BER). Peregrines don't normally nest until two or three
years old, explains Gieck, who
•heads up the Wisconsin pere-.
grine recovery program for
BER.
Unfortunately, the young
male falcon didn't adjust, to fatherhood. When the peregrine
chicks began to fly, explains
Gieck, the father "exhibited aggressive protective behavior."
Although this is natural behavior for peregrines, who are
very territorial, it is not normal
behavior for a father toward his
chicks.
"If he nests again in 1989, we
expect his behavior to improve," Gieck says. But, she
adds, there are no assurances
that they will return. The falcons that nested in Milwaukee
were captive-raised birds released from buildings in Minneapolis and Chicago, as part of
peregrine reintroduction programs in those states.
Although falcons were never
abundant in Wisconsin, there
was a stable population in the
state through the 1960s. Peregrhl'es nest only on remote
cliffs. Their natural range in
Wisconsin is limited to three
areas: along the Mississippi
River, along a portion of the
lower Wisconsin River, and in
Door County.
Peregrines last nested on
their own in Wisconsin in 1964.
Then, primarily due to reproductive failure caused by exposure to pesticides like DDT,
peregrines disappeared from
the state.
Peregrines r-eturned to nest in
Wisconsin in 1986, when two·
pairs which had been released
in Minnesota flew across the
Mississippi River to nest. They
returned again in 1987 and 1988.
Those pairs have sucessfully
hatched young, but in every instance, the young were lost to
predators such as the great
horned owls and raccoons.
The department initiated its
recovery program in 1987, purchasing 10 chicks from captive

ls nuclear power the f utur~~
By Todd Stoeberl
Outdoors Writer
Is nuclear power a way to
solve our energy problem? Nuclear power doesn't cause acid
rain and it doesn't emit carbon
dioxide which causes the Greenhouse effect. So what is the
problem? Should nuclear power
be our future energy source?
No!!
I believe we are dependent on
nuclear power to some degree
but we shouldn't rely on it as
our only source of power. What
the U.S. should be doing is
phasing out of oil and nuclear
powered plants and into solar
powered plants. However, I am
not proposing total shutdown of
either type of plant. That would
be absurd. - ,
What I am proposing is solar
power! I feel that we are too
dependent on nuclear power and
safer types of energy can be
harnessed.
·
Nuclear power has all sorts of
problems associated with it.
The most obvious problem is
hazardous waste. What are we
to do with it? What scientists
believe is the safest way of disposing it is to bury it. But, finding a suitable area has become
very difficult due to publ1c
opposition. Figures from a national/pOll conducted by the Nuclear Waste Project Office in
the state of Nevada show that
70 percent polled believe a nuclear waste accident would be
fatal, 79 percent would dread
living near a repository, 76 percent believe serious health risks
would be a problem and 87 percent feel that these risks can
not be avoided.
Not only are there serious
health risks with nuclear waste,
but there are numerous environmental risks. For years, nu-
ciear waste has leaked from
storage tanks at the Savannah
River plant in South Carolina
and at the Hanford plant in
Washington which has contaminated soil and water. Estimated
cleanup of messes like these
range up to $100 billion. These
are just a COUP.le of plants identified as leaking. Who knows
how many more are leaking
and we don't kriow about it.
I think it is time for the
American people to demand the
government find alternative
energy sources. How can we
keep investing in oil and nuclear power when the problems
associated with them are literally killing America and its people? We must develop renewable energy sources. The best
energy source we have is the
sun. The sun emits unlimited
amounts of energy a day which
can be trapped and used to heat
our homes and produce electricity. According to a Department
of Energy Report to Congress
"more than a million active
systems and 225,000 passive sys-

report also states that "passive
solar homes now provide 50-Q5
percent of their energy

saving for the home ·owner and
for America.
The Department of Energy
has expanded its 1 research in
the solar power field. Its main
COQcentration is on nuclear power at the present time. By the

Agricultural researchers have
been working on developing
bacteria strains that could be
applfed to crops to help them .
withstand disease and other
problems. One type of bacteria
shows promise at UW-Madison.
This bug has shown some protection of soybeans and alfalfa
from disease. It also seems to
promote growth of these two
.staple cro~. This bacteria was
found in farm fields, was isolated, and may be~ ready for
more intensive use in farm
fields by 1001.

be nice for our heating bills, but

In the Woodruff area, cross'country ski and snowmobile
trails have about a 16-inch base

Cross-country skiers should

he speaks about the c:letermination and grit demonstrated by
his only sister after she became
a widow with six children. Not
content to take a low paying
job, she pursued the trade of
long-distance trailer truck driving and succeeded. "She's very
admirable," he added.
Sanders is an aficionado of
the visual and perfonning arts
and currently chairs both the
lllinois Arts Alliance and its
foundation. Besides the pleasure
he finds in such things as mu.sic, drama and the visual arts,
he embraces them for their
"enormous economic value."
The Illinois Arts Alliance
Foundation recently Sponsored
a, definitive study of the economic impact of the not-forprofit arts f!.tdustry in the state.
The study ~bowed that the arts
are a $229 million economic
stiriluliJs and they support n~ar­
ly 12,000 jobs ann1,18lly. Sanders
said . the arts are no doubt
equally important to the econo- .
my of Wisconsin.
· The chancellor- designate ap. preciates the fact "the arts are
· mature" at UWSP. In addition
he said he wants area residents
to . know he i'ntends to be a

and high S<:hool. "But I lacked

of jobs-will involve several trips
to Stevens Point before his permanlmt move. He intends toconfer with ·administrators and
begin meeting faculty, staff,
students and area residents be-'
tween Feb.1 15 and· 19, -one of
the ways he hopes. to acquire a
"more complete sense of the
heart and soul of the university" is by spending two or· three
nights during that trip in dormitories.
He'll be back on March 12 to
attend the campus open house
and will stay most of the week, ·
then return in late April.
In March, he will be coming
directly from France after
spending about a week at the
Sorboruie, University. of Paris I.
Sanders heads a group of 12
American researchers who have
joined 10 French scholars in
doing a comparative study of
the presidential campaigns held
in 1988 in their two countries.
There has been travel by team
members between France and
the United States since the fall
of 1987.
The chancellor-de11ignate will
be cliief editor, with his French
counterpart, of a book that will
be published next year by
Praeger Publications containing
the team's findings.
· Sanders is the author or coauthor of four. books on political
communication and more than
70 other sch?larly works. O~e of
his books won an award ·from
"Choice" magazine in· 1975.
