The Pointer for publication Senior Editor a Think about it How couldn't we warm up to him? George Bush is president of the United States. More than half of the federal judges in the country were appointed by the Reagan administration. Bush has already dropped his moderate image (which got him elected) in favor of a right-wing stance which must have made Jerry Falwell stand up and cheer. It's being done slowly, calculated carefully and orchestrated with money, power and a precision taken from history. Paul Krassner, publisher of "The Realist," and conspiracy researcher and investigator Mae Brussell paint an eerie hypothesis ip parallellil.g Nazi Germany with the right-wing momentum of the United States; "How many incidents by Scott M. Maline How well I remember the fall day in 1980 when Ronald Reagan was elected to be the 40th president of the United States. My heart and spirit were at the election night bashes held across the nation. My person, however, was at home anxiously awaiting the results of the election. Once the outcome had become clear, I finally relaxed knowing that my future was now holding outstanding possibilities. Ronald Reagan had just been elected president. The world would now become a better place, and the liberal Carter administration was on its downfall. Only now would America begin to climb out of an earthshaking recession.

Bishop COPY EDITOR • EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Gabrielle Wyant-Perillo Michael Skurek have-found myself wrapped up in what some might call "insane" emotion. I, for one, have grown quite accustomed to Reagan's face in the Oval Office. He embodled the spirit and style appropriate _of a chief executive. He easily won the hearts of his hard-fisted critics. When he fired the air traffic controllers who dared to strike, America knew it had a leader not afraid to make his position very clear and his stand very firm. It was a welcome change from Jimmy Carter. Shortly after this came the assassination attempt. Could any of us fail to warm up to a man who could joke at a time like this? Evendie-hard Democrats laughed and admired his grace under pressure. He also seemed to temporarily tame the terrorist world. Most of Europe was horrified when Reagan decided to bomb Libyan military bases in 1986. I remember a student, who happened to be from Germany, saying to me, "Your president has just started World War III." I, however, was secretly proud to live in a ~ountry that wasn't afraid to give Colonel Qaddafi as good as he got. It quickly established Reagan's policy toward terrorism. The United States would no longer be vulnerable· or intimidated by terrorist actions. I also remember that December night when the IntermecUate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed. The thrill that shook the world was partly because of the majesty and solemnity of the setting. Cries for . ./ .

Rationality and morality, however, sut>port the use of capital punishment. To begin with, the death penalty is stated explicitly in the Constitution ~s a method of criminal punishment. The Fifth Amendment states that no "person (shall) be subject for the ~e offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb. . . nor be deprived of life... without due process of law.. " H the Con- .:_ stitution is to be upheld as the supreme law of the land, then the death penalty is definitely included in this code of law. The reason for the constitutionality of the death penalty is definitely included in this code of law. . The reason for the constitutionality of the death penalty is derived from tl)e existence of God-given rights which government has been instituted to protect. Foremost among these tights is the right to life. Since life is given by God, in the words of the Declaration of Independence, "endowed by their Creator," it follows that no individual has the right to take another's life. Moreover, the divine origin of life necessitates proper defense against anyone who tries to take another's life. Therefore, an individual whose life is threatened, may use any means necessary to protect their life. The individual's lawful right to defense of their. life is a corollary of the God-given right to life. This defense of life should properly be done with intent only to defend against, not to kill, the attacker. Of course, killing the attacker may be an inevitable, and sometimes necessary, action if the individual has no other way to defend their right to life. In this event, the individual who killed the attacker is not held accountable for ·this 'act, for they have the lawful right to defend their life by whatever means necessary. Furthermore, the attacker, by attempting to take another's life, forfeits their own right to life and is held accountable for their unlawful action even to the point of death. The death penalty enters the situation in the event that the attacker is not deterred by the individual, result. ing in the mdividual's death. The attacker is now a murderer and may be subject·to the death penalty. The reason for this is that the murderer's forfeiture of life still exists. Since the individual whose life is threatened has the lawful right to defend their life even to the point of killing the atta~ker, then society as a whole retains this right if the attacker murders the individual. The murderer is still accountable for his crime, and the lawful punishment for this crime extends to the death penalty. Of course, the death penalty can only be passed after due process of law, which gives the murderer a chance to convince the judge and jilry that_the taking of another's life is not really as~ bad and evil as most Americans believe it to be, and that the judg_e and jury would only be inhumane, uncivilized, and immoral for holding him fully accountable- for the act of murder. In effect, the murderer is saying that he has the right to take apother's life without suffering just and equal punishment for the crime. Does the murderer have the right to take another's life without facing the threat and possibility of equal and just punishment? I do not believe the murderer does. If we truly have respect for life, we would uphold the individual's right to lawful · defense of their life to the point of killing the attacker and fulfill this defense through the death penalty. The individual has the right to kill in defense of their life if that becomes necessary. If the individual is killed before they use this right, it should be sustained by society and delivered upon the murderer throught he death penalty. Cruel and unusual punishment is punishment that does not fit the crime. If someone kills another person, the death penalty clearly fits the crime. The death penalty does not exist to solve the entire crime problem, it exists to deliver the just and equal punishment that is.the moral and legal right of every individual to use in defense of their moral and legal right of every individual to use in defense of their life. True respect for life means defending life, yours or another's, even to the point of killing the attacker. Just because the attacker succeeds in taking another's life does not mean that the individual's lawful right to defense of their life simply disappears. Instead, it means that it has been transferred to society as a whole, and society then deci<l.es if this right will be exercised through due process of law. The · death penalty is simply the fulfillment of the lawful right to defense of life. It holds the murderer accountable for the most heinous, inhuman, and immoral violation of God-given rights, and as such, it is not "a legal, social, human, and moral, disaster," rather, it is an attempt tore- establish a broken law of God-given rights and justice. The death penalty is infinitely more moral and rational than any proposal of its abolition. Eric Pearson Here at HARDLY EVER IMPORTS, we're ready for any weather Mother nature-- · gives us-.

Busch beer; the nation's fourth-largest selling beer, is planning its secondannual skiing spring break, _March 10-18, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Being called the most comprehensive ~ring break package ever offered for ski buffs, the "Busch Ski Club" will treat vacationers to nine' days of skiing on 2,500 acres of terrain on two mountains. "The Busch Ski Club spring break at Jackson Hole will provide a sharp contrast to the more traditional spring break in Florida and other coastal areas," . said Michael E. LaBroad, product· manager for Busch beer. "It will appeal strongly to those who enjoy the outdoors and a physical challenge. Although there will plenty of opportunities to kick back and relax, skiing will be the focal point of this spring break." "Busch beer is working with the Jackson Hole Ski Corporation to make this a memorable, safe a~d inexpensiv~ spring break m the mountains," said LaBroad. "The people at Jackson Hole will provide full days . of skiing on hundreds of miles of runs, and Busch beer will sponsor races and ski activities that are both fun and responsible." Daily activities, all fr.ee of charge, will include ski clinics for the beginner skier, ski races for the beginner and accomplished skier; ~s well as dance contests, treasure hunts, snow volleyball, golf ·croquet, dancing and live music. All Busch-sponsored ski activities will originate from the "Busch Race Arena." Ski activities will be based under a heated 5,000square-foot tent, located at the bottom of the mountain, called the "Busch Ski Clubhouse." Jackson Hole Ski ~rt is· nestled in the Grand Tetons south of the Grand ,Teton National Park in Wyoming. Witliin the resort's boundaries are two mountains, which are accessed via one high-speed surface lift, seven chairlifts and an aerial tram offering the greatest variety and challenge of a ski area in the nation.

The NCAA plans to present those and other findings of a survey it did of how athletes spend their time on campus to its members when they meet in San FranciscO later this month. "This is the most extensive research effort done in the -field of intercollegiate athletics," said Robert Schultz, the NCAA's executive director. "We don't believe there were any great surprises in these results," said University of Nebraska Chancellor Martin Massengale. · The results apparently lE;nd themselves to varied interpretations.

"We're very happy with the balance," he said. Football and basketball players spend an average of 30 hours a week on their sports even though most do not expect to make the pro ran,ks. Schools that burden studentathletes with too much practice time and not enough academic time are "not doing a very good job," said Dan Smith, basketball coach at the State University of New York at Brockport, a Division II school. . The American Institutes for Research, which conducted the · study for the NCAA, surveyed more than 4,000 students, including those involved in extracurricular activities, at 42 Division I colleges and universities. The study's purpose was to determine the "effect of intercollegiate sports on athletes on a broad level. It was not designed to focus on specific issues," said Terry R. Armstrong, associate project direc- tor. The study found that college athletes involved in extracumcular activities such as band, drama and the student newspaper spend about the same amount of. time in class (14 hours), preparing fqr class (12 hours) and in social activities (10 hours) per week. But football and basketball players spend an average of 30 hours a week- on their sports even though most do not expect to make the professional ranks. Although marty athletes found tutors readily available, their grades suffe.red. On a four-point scale, the study found that football and basketball-players had an average grade-point average of 2.46, compared to 2.61 for other college athletes and 2.79 for students involved in extracurricular activities. Robert J. Rossi, director of the project, said many college athletes feel isolated from other students on campus and believe ' living with other students helps ease their isolation.

As president of a university, I began to receive compiaints from students that their roommates were moving in "Significant Others" fur occasional · nights, or sometimes for every night. I suspect the proportion of willing voyeurs is no greater among college students than among the general population. I do know many students were outraged at being made unwilling audiences of their roommates' sexual behavior. The offending roommates insisted on their rights as adults, which they ·interpreted ~s broadly as needed to cover their escapades. It· is clear that such behavior is not an expression of freedom but of license. Unfortunately, the English language One would have thought that few would object to these goals. Exhibitionists, perhaps, might find them- threatening, but they must be no more numerous than the roommates they offend. Yet student after student argued that the proposed regulations violated their rights as adults. One student argued that anyone who was bothered by couplings in the bed across the room was simply too immature to be in college. Such a . claim suggests that the adult rights are assumed to include the · right to be as childish as possible. There was surprisingly little concern for the problems we were trying to addresswhich, after all, are students' problems, caused by the inconsiderate behavior of other students. · We have learned from this experience that the Sexual Revolution has its own version of the Brezhnev Doctrine: no bit of sexual territory, orice "liberated," must ever be lost to the enemy. Tllat sexuality should . be reduced to a public exhibi. tion forced on an unwilling audience shows the fraudulent nature of the "liberation" that has been carried out in recent decades. At Boston University, we are committed to restoring a modest level of decorum and concern for others to our dormitories. We make no apology for that. lacks a term meaning "ope who has reached the age of majority while remaining an adolescent." This term would not properly apply to all college students, most of whom fully merit the label of "adult." But it is clear that some do not. At Boston University, we are committed to the proposition that the dormitories are an extension of our educational program. We do not require upperclassmen to live in dormitories, but we are determined that for those who live there, our dormitories offer an environment that is supportive , of education rather than actively hostile to it. In furtherance of .this commitment, we have developed regulations that will · effectively limit noise pollution and drunkenness and remove involuntary voyeurism as an in-· cident of college life.

Pointer Page 11 Dogfish defeat Stout By Sam Seigel Sports Writer Dual victories by freshmen Scott Kruegr and Scott Thoma provided the dogfish with fuel needed to defeat 'Stout last weekend. Krueger's victories came in the 500 freestyle and 200 butterfly, while Thoma's victories came in the one and three-mllter diving competition. Thoma's performance on the one-meter board earned him a chance to appear at the upcoming national meet in Marcp. other individual victories came from Kevin · Parham in the 200 freestyle, Tom Woyte in the 200 individual medley, Dave Martor~o in the 100 freestyle. Both the 400 medley and 800 freestyle relays ·claimed first place victories. other key performances came from Jamie Weigel, John Below, Toby Skov, Mike McClellan, Paul Kramer and Peter Zenobi. Next for the dogfish is the conference meet to be held at UW-Eau Claire. lady Pointers stage . ba ck · c0 me by Kevin Crary Sports Reporter You've just finished the first half of the season and all you have to show is a 4-12 record. So · you just hang on and ride the rest of the season outright? Not if ,You're a Lady Pointer. "Right now we've got·nothing to lose and everything to win," stated_Head Coach Ruth Anne Kaiser. And winning is what the . UWSP women's basketball team has been doing lately. ·The Lady Pointers liave won three of their last four, games, including an up.set victory over UW-Platteville, one of the top teams in the ·conference. They lost to Platteville -earlier in the season by one point in overtime. Point's1 75-55 win over UWWhitewater January 26 snapped a six-game losing streak in which they fell victim to Oshkosh, Platteville, St. Norbert, Superior, River Falls and Eau Claire. The game against Eau Claire was the only one that wasn't really a game. The Blugolds1 whO are currently ranked number one in the region, seventh nationally, and are tied for the conference lead with River Falls, beat the Pointers ';'3-40 at the1r home court.The Lady Pointers gave second p~ace La Crosse a ride for their money before coming up empty, 64-62 (the one loss of the last four games). "They (La Crosse) don't have a lot of talent or height, they're just scrappy," described Kaiser. Tbe Pointer women are coming off a 57-38 triumph over Wheaton College of Wheaton, ' Dlinois, to give them their first back-to-back wins this season (the win over Platteville was the first). The optimistic Kaiser, who agrees that it would take a miracle for her team to contend for a conference title, doesn't mean that she's giving up and looking forward to the end of the season. "We haven't died, which is the most promising aspect of the season," note<t Kaiser. "The morale of the team is incredibly good. The win over Platteville is what did it, but they (Pointer team) made it happen," said Kaiser. The Lady Pointers are nearing the end of a long nine-game road trip which ends Friday at Stout. What does Kaiser have to say about the awkward schedule? "It certainly hasn't helped us directly this year, and at the same time I don't want to say it's hurt us." Spoken like a true optimist. The Lady Pointers' return home will be Friday, February 17, when Eau Claire rides into town. You can bet that this ride won't be as easy as the last. Men' s· basketball loses By Timothy Rechner Staff Dweeb Giving up three... free throws in . the final 32 seconds, the UWSP men's basketball team lost to UW-Whitewater 83-82 last Saturday night in Quandt Fieldhouse. It was the third straight defeat for the Pointers, who fall to 9-10 overall and· 2-7 in the Wisconsin State Univ~sity Conference. The Pointers took two-point lead in the final minute of the game on a lay-in, by Jim Glanzer, but then failed to score after the Warhawk free thrOws. The Pointers took an early 2-0 lead following the opening tipoff, but Whitewater outscored UWSP 12-2 in the next five minutes. It was not until the final minutes of the game before Point. was able to get the lead again. Chas Pronschinski led the Pointers with 21 points, Mark Waldon added 1~ points and six rebounds for UWSP. Scott Anderson chipped in ·14 points, Mark Harrison 12 and Glanzer 11 for Point. The Pointers made 29 of 53 shots from the floor (.547), including four of 11 three-point attempts, while sinking 20 of 26 free throws (.769). , Whitewater had similar shooting niunbers, with 28 of 51 from the floor (.549), including seven of 17 three-point attempts and an identical 20 of 26 from the free thrOW line./ . a 50 Jon Julius shoots a free throw against J¥4jtewater , Pointer Page 12, Thursday February 9, 1989 THE WEEK'IN POINT.

I ofter. .,v11der the thought of how much garbage that is thrown away could be recycled? Why don't people recycle? l3ecause, PEOPLE ARE TOO . DAMN LAZY! People just don't realize how much an impact they can have on solving some of our growing environmental problems. For instance, "producing aluminum from scrap instead of bauxite, cuts energy usage and air pollu'tion by 95 percent. Making paper from discards instead of virgin timber not only saves valuable forests, it reduces the energy used by .almost 75 per- · cent and requires half as much water," according to a USA Today article. Have you ever stopped and thought, how many acres of . trees are cut or how many actual trees are cut in one year? The number is staggering. Trees don't grow back overnight. It takes 30-35 years before planted trees are barvestable again. Also, trees are one of natures air cleaners. They take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. We can't afford to destroy it all. What about aluminum? Recyclers are paying citizens to recycle because it is so much cheaper and energy efficient to recycle aluminum. If you are not recycling aluminum you are just throwing money away. Every aluminum can you throw away, is like throwing away a dime onto the ground. It may sound like nothing now but · There is also the problem of groundwater pollution. , Wiscon- ' sin has one of the worst groundwater problems in the countrY and unsanitary landfills contribute to this problem, All of the garb.•ge that is buried in landfills is supposed to break down and when it does, it is in tile fonn of toxic chemicals which eventually leech out into the groundwater. This causes the groundwater to be undrinkable. Most of the landfills in Wisconsin have this problem. There are numerous problems associated with landfills and other forms of waste diposal.

A new administrative position, vicechancellor · for minority/disadvantaged programs, has been created at UWSP. One of the new official's duties will be to "to provide essential services for Native Americans in Wisconsin, both on campus and in their communities," according to Vice-Chancellor Howard Thoyre. The position was announced in December at a meeting of UWSP officials and representatives of Wisconsin Indian Tribes on campus. • UWSP has long been known for its services to Indian students through its Native American Center, Educational Opportunity Programs, Upward Bound, Weekend . College, and specialized' courses focusing on Indian cultures and issues. UWSP's other new initiatives includ,e the appointment of a liaison between the School of ·Education and Native American Communities to assist students . considering teaching careers. In addition, Alan Haney, dean of the College of Natural Resources, and Pon Mortenson, an administrative specialist, · will be visiting communities to inform tribal leaders and prospec- tive students about natural resource offerings.

Another situation which will benefit women and minorities when they are ready to enter the workforce is the age of current federal and state agency employees. A large of upperlevel managers are nearing retirement which will open vacancies for people moving up the ladder at entry levels. Houghton says that in the Forest Service's region nine, a 20-state area, it is. estimated that by 1995, 1,500 people will retire. State agencies will also experience a substantial attrition rate over the next few years, he estimates. "It is an exciting time for young people starting out in the field," Houghton says. The professor's work in · setting up the new program was funded by the .Forest Service and b~ the UWSP vice-chancellor's office.

Thursday Fe?ruary 9, 1989 Leaky landlords and stuffed pockets by Rich Feldhaus Investigative Reporter Every year UWSP students leave the residence halls in search of the final independence of off-campus housing. This cycle of student migration has left its mark on many of the- offcampus dwellings near UWSP. Homes are often left' in varying stages of disrepair and landlords make themselves scarce in time of need. True, there may not be any housing code violations on the property, but some of the situations ·- students must live un<t,er are just plain intolerable. Last semester, five UWSP students moved into a house lc:r cated at 1624 Main Street and after orily three months at this address, two of the tenants, Eric and AI, moyed out to find a better place. They described their stay as a major disaster that began the first day. Arriving 'in Stevens Point, ready to spend another semester at UWSP, Eric and .AI found that the summer tenants had not moved out yet. This overlapping of leases caused them to impose on friends for the entire first week. When they did move in, the five roommates found their house had several ' problems · that they wanted ' fixed right away.
