iV OLl)ME 33 ·NO. 19 . UWSP FE13RUARY 22, 1990 jarking problem is escalating ~MOre parking meters and more fines by Molly Bernas News Editor $23,726. That is the amount of money, so far this year, that Parking Services has ,collected in parking fmes. This figure represents only fines issued by the university and does not reflect fmes rendered by the . Stevens Point Police Department. 1 The city of Stevens Point's Parking Committee has just authorized the installation of parking meter$ on Stanley and Reserve (near the Science Building) streets according to Stevens Point Mayor Scott Schultzwhosaid, "They haven't thought through the ·impact of what they're doing yet." Schultz said reason for the additional parpng meters was to gamer "income" for the city. This has raised questions for university ViGt Chancellor of Business Affairs Greg Diemer. "Students. ar~ assessed and directlypaymorethan$100,000 per year t.o the city for municipal services, including parking," said Diemer,~o data was available, though, to narrow the amount of f111es assessed to people around the university area The police department record~ show that $1,048 was collected in January 1990 in parking meter fmes for the city. "Between the city government and university, students are caught in the middle and we and the school faculty are the ones who are paying the price," said one ·student. The city Parldng Committee meets monthly and their next meeting will tentatively be March l3. The Pointer willpublish the exact time and location of the meeting, which is open to the public. Parking Serrices is operating · with a budget of more than $300,000. About $124,000 of this budget was for capital expenditures, namely the repaving of parking lots E, C, Q, and Z. '!1lls summer, according to Dtemer, an additional $145,500 will be spent repaving six more lots. · One full-time employee and one part-time student serve as . parking attendants who are charged with supervising the lots and issuing fmes. Besides the sum collected fmes by ·Parking Services (which escalated to over $55,000 last year), the department receives revenue from parking stickers. Stickers purchased by students cost $39 and amount to a total income of $70,200. Stickers obtained by staff or faculty members cost $54 and total $48,600 in revenue. Parking Services also . receives monies collected from fees paid on the visitor lot on the comer of Reserve Street and from meters in the lot adjacent to the University Center. · Diemer sees the parking situation as "a problem, not a crisis." He said that a preliminary feasibility study was done about three years ago regarding m A familiar sight. Fines issued by Parking Services escalated to more than $55,000 last year. (photo by Annie K. Arnold) the plausability of building a parking ramp. The problem is funding. Diemer feels that the cost is too great, however; . he didn't not close the door to exploring the option if there is interest. "We can look into it again, but if each space will cost $400 to $600 year for the next 10 years, I doubt if students will approve of it," said Diemer. Since any type of parking structure would "have to be fmanced out of parking revenues," _he said. SGA Senators Andy Witt and Heather Rogers are supportive in exploring the feasibility of constructing a parking structure. "I would think there is enough people that would use it," said Witt. "I think we definitely -need one. It's important." · I think its a great idea especially for non-traditional students and other commuters. The parldng problem is ridiculous," said Rogers. The Pointer also randomly polled students outside of the University Center and found apathy among them as to the urgency and extent of the situation. (See some student reactions in the Pointer Poll on page 9.) Currently, the university is looking to secure additional parking for the campus on the grounds of the new $6.8 million Health Enhancement Center. One major obstacle to this plan is a resolution passed by SGA Continued on page 5 Campus - wide program promotes alcohol awareness The Student Development Department of UWSP has designed the "Alcohol is not your friend" campaign to educate all students on the topic of reponsible drinking behavior. The two year campaign consists of an alcohol program tour in conjunction with a poster promotion and a children's art show. Thespeakingtourbegins Monday.- February 26, with "Adult Children of Alcoholics", a one- act play. · Other programs include: March 5, Michael Deaver, former Deputy Chief of Staff under former president Ronald Reagan presents a program on how alcohol affected his career. March 7, "Stress, sex, and al~ cobol" will be presented by Mary Peterson. On March 12 a debate between Curtis Slewa of the antidrug group sponsored by the Guardian Angels and Timothy Leary, a psychedelic drug researcher and advocate of responsible drug use. . Times and locations of these events will be armounced later. The poster promotion will begin the first week in march features works from Jeremy Cook, Andrea Jensen, Krista Soto, Beth Chapin, and Matt La Criox, all of which are art students at the university. The theme of the poster campaign centers around violent terms used to describe abusive alcohol use, such a8 hammered, bombed, and smashed: A different poster will be distributed to residence halls and academic buildings every week for a period of five weeks. T he posters will also be sent to all UW systems schools in the state and be displayed at various facultv conferences. -The children's art show focusing on alcohol awareness will be located at the.University Center and will consist of art work from the 4th grade class of St. Stanislaus and from St. Stephens schools. TheSe also focus on alcohol awareness. At the beginning of the fall semester the state of Wisconsin advocated more than $7,000 to all universities in the system for alcohol education. next year the · programing funds allocated by the state are expected to increase to $10,000. l::ouJJo:oo!ss:· Briefs pg.6· l l rl;~t~F:rn:as:.J Comic pg.S l:s!eo:amsl Track pg.13 Tonight: SGA deliberates fate of the Phi Sigs Pointer Page 2 Thursday, Feb 22nd, 1990 NEWS_____,___ __ - - - . areer Services. osted job fair Roo Wirtz ntributor Services held a aae $DJlltDel' ~ f_.w _._ · u.-Aauoftrinosmdents Ol'IPor~T.U,RtuDi-.tyJ';Ft-:jumpon $WJUDer job race.

Sanders speaks out · by Molly Bernas News Editor "We listen to each other. Everyone who wants to have a say has the opportunity," said University of WisconsinStevens Point Chancellor Keith · Sanders, ashe described the unique and outstanding charaoteristics that have struck him about this campus after his first semester at the helm. Sanders also voiced his . opinions and concerns reganling issues and conflicts on the campus today. Sandel's stressed that this campus steadfastly opposesdiscriminationandhealso stated that the Cultural Diversity Program is one of the key programs which the school will focus on in the upcoming years. Regarding the discriminatory policies of the· Reserve Oflicez Training Corp (ROTC), Sanders said he agreed wi1h the spirit of the resolution passed by our Student Government Association. He feels that the UW-Madison faculty was righL The Madison 'faculty didn't resolve to "throw the ROTC off campus" but did stress that they would do all they could to dumge their dis- criminatory policies. "I'd like ROTC to remain on our campus," said Sander;, ''Wr have an outstanding ROTC unit." "Ori the other hand," he continued, "we find discrimination based on sexual preference thoroughly objectionable." "I'm really pleased a lot of our students have said we're opposed to discrimiriation and it's come out loUdly. I'm delighted with that." One thing to note according to Sanders is that the, "armed forces ·have a better record on minority and women recruitment than higher education does." "I'm nearly nev_er disappointed in the way our students conduct themselves with issues today," said Sanders. "I am impresSC.l by the quality of debate that goes on in SGA," he said. However, the chancellor does not regularly attend senate meetings. According to student senator Carrie Osgood, "He's there · m~ybe once every six weeks." Another priority according to Sanders is, "understanding the needs of the nan-traditional stUdents." Sanders feels a needs analysis by the non-traditional student office is necessary. According to Martha St. Germaine of the Non-Traditional Student Office, a needs analysis has been done and given to Nancy Boehm of the Chancellor's strategic planning committee. The new athletic center constrUction is on schedule and on budget according to Sanders. "It's going to be one of the finest facilities of its kind in the upper midwest, thanks to a lot of help from students." Sanders didn't hl\ve any comments reguarding the parking problem and was unaware of any proposal concerning a park-ingramp. Areas that Sanders intends to focus on besides cultural diversity include external fundraising, and a shortage of academic talent. There are no qua1ifications, j . enthusiasm and a desire to he It's not a large commitment, b it-is a great opportunity to make an impact on 'the problems of hunger and homelessness." The National Student Campaign in Boston coordinates the programs for over 200 campuses across the · country. Krochalk said that UWSP was the first camp_us in the state of Wisconsin to coordinate a Hunger Cleanup. Last spring 100 students, staff, and faculty members participated in cleaning area parks, washing school buses, and painting community buildings. · They raised over $900 to fight hunger and homelessness. .• .

Spting is near, that magic time of year when a person's · thoughts tum toward romance. Since Valentine's day is past, however, the thoughts of many are turning toward politics. There are a stew of elections coming up in April dealing with both state and local races. For those of you that can•t wait until April, take heart! Elec' tions for the Student Government Association are coming up in just a few weeks. · Just last ·Friday, in fact, the final candidates announced themselves as running for both senate and presidential pdsitions. double that number, four people, will fight for these seats. CoFAC, the College of Fine Arts~ and Communications, has nine people, more than double the amount running last year, seeking senate seats in this year's elections. In addition to this, the College of Letters and Sciences, with a mammoth 15 senate seats up for elections, has got not 10 or 15 students seeking election but 27 senatoriAl rsmdfdates! A good example of this is in the presidential race. When asked why he was interested in being president, James o•Donnell wrote "Noneofyour #@#$!* business."

Madison's application but then he can't back everyone now can he? . By now you are probably asking, "Wow! Perhaps apathy at UWSP is on its way out! But what's the bad news?" The bad news is that many of the candidates seem to be some kind of joke. This brings us ~ the good news, and the bad news. The good news is that this year•s SGA election applications show more students seeking positions on the senate than in any other recent year. Take the College of Professional Studies.

What does all of this mean? Two things really. First of all, always find out about the people you may vote for, and secondly, that this is going to be a very strange election. Many of the senate applications were just as bad, Jeff LaMarche, a College of Professional Studies candidate, wrote . that he would "compli- \ ment each and every student in CPS in their taste in music and style· of head wear," when asked how the students in CPS would benefit from his representation on the senate. In answer to the same question, Peter Fee, CNR, wrote that "All CNR students will be allowed to piss on any tree on campus," if he were elected.

Early fall semester of 1989, a task force was established by the Student Government Association to look into the rights and options of UWSP students concerning UWSP's health requirements. This was a result of a resolution introduced by the caucus chair of the College of Fine Arts and Dance, Maggie O'Donnell, and was passed by - the student senate. Members of this task force included repreSentatives from the Jacobins, the health center and student senate. What resulted from this task force was the following informational sheet which now accompanies. the LAQ where ever it is distributed. The LAQ informational sheet made its first appearance with the LAQ at Checkpoint in January, 1990. With the consent of the health center, it will appear with the LAQ for many coming years. Tracy Tophoven Vice President Student Government Association The LAQ, administered by the University Health Service, has , proven to be an effective and useful tool in asSessing and enhancing ·students' -health in all six areas of wellness. Since you are volunteering personal information, you should be informed of your rights concerning the use of this information. l. The LAQ is NOT a prerequisite to yo'lp' entrance as a student to this university. However, in order to use the Health Service you must first do one ofthe_following: A. Submit an LAQ form B. Submit a completed stand- · ard UW health history physical form. *NOTE: Currently, 85% of the student body uses the health service. 2. A third option for students who chose not to provide health information is to fill out a waiver. You may change your mind in the future about waiving your rights to use the Health . Service by fulfilling the requirements as o~tlined in point (1). 3. Once you tum in the LAQ answer sheet, it becomes part of your permanent medical record along with ariy other information you provide. As any part of your medical record, you cannot • obtain the original, but can get copies. Your medical records are maintained for a minimum of seven years by the Health Service. 4. No one outside the staff of the Health and Counseling Service ha.<~ access to your medical records without your written permission. Exceptions are specific cases under state ' statutes where you medical record is- subpoenaed as part of a criminal investigation. 5. You do not have to fill out all of the questions, however, the value of the LAQ is diminished by unanswered questions. 6. The University Health Service is a prepaid health service that is available to all students. If you have any questions regarding your rights, the LAQ, or the Health Center, feel free to contact the Student Government Association in the Campus Activities Complex in the lower level of the University Center (x4036), or the Health Service on the second floor of Delzell Hall (x4646). Women should not fight Recently, a popular notion has arisen that women should be allowed into combat. However, a skirmish over a dog kennel in Panama hardly constitutes "combat" in modem warfare. The disadvantages of women combat troops remain; Although physical strength isn't as essential to the infantryryman as it used to be, that doesn't mean it is irrelevant. Combat troops are often exposed to conditions that sap their vitality as surely as weilding a sword might--long periods without supplies,-hauling packs and equipment during landings, and hand-to-hand combat. These require strength and endurance, which nature has given to men in greater quanities, like it or not. The ''bonding" and merging of identities necessary among troops under fire could not happen with women present. It is a society-ingrained compulsion for the male to protect the female. Males would, consciously or unconsciously, try to protect their female companions instead of fighting the enemy or staying alive. Under prolonged harsh conditions, subtle rivalries and jealousies would arise- not the women's fault,. but unavoidable nonetheless. Men captured by the enemy are often subjected to brutal treatment by their captors. Women Continued on page 5 Pointer Page 5 .

You have no clue about where you are. Every tree and rock looks the same but . nothing looks familar. You are in the process of getting lost. . This scenario may frighten some. Most people consider getting lost an unpleasant experience. Unfortunately for outdoor's enthusiasts it is inevitability. It comes with the territory.

That red needle always points to the magnetic north pole. A few exceptions exist to that basic tenet. Magnetic fields, such as powerlines and radios, and metallic masses, such as gun barrels and car keys, also attract that little red needle. Maps are useful tools. Maps are essentially some technician's interpretation of an aerial photograph. These technicans seldom visit the areas they map. Some of them are also frustrated artists. The combination of these two elements results in map makers placing roads, streams and contour lines · where they think they look best. Sometimes they actually represent actual field conditions. Often, amapofthemoonwould be just good. Their usefulness is this-- they are made of paper and paper burns. Use them to start fires when you get lost.

Accusations continue as to Captain Joseph Hazelwood's conduct. Some say he was drinking and. &Orne say he should have been more attentive to his ship. It appears that the person in command of steering during the disaster was inexperienced. Defense attorneys are also arguing that the Coast Guard should have notified the. ship that they were out of the shipping lane which radar should have shown. The story of the American Trader oil spill off Huntington Beach, Calif., continues to unravel. The tanker apparently gashed itself with its own anchor as it maneuvered up to an offshore oil mooring. Critics contend that the nearly 300,000 gallon spill could have been prevented if the 811-foot ship had been built with a double bottom. Oil industry sources say they resist the double hulls because they cause instability. Critics say liquified natural gas tankers have double hulls and have no problems. The Exxon Valdez didn't have ~double hull either. The American Trader is expected in San Francisco this week for repairs. Many articles are appearing · that give us ideas about how we can act responsibly toward the environment. A book just out is "Fifty Simple Things You Can Do To Save The Environment." It is published by the Earthworlcs Group and sells for $4.95. Some interesting facts in the book are. that the average American family produces 100 pounds of trash per week, we throw away 500 million disposable cigarette lighters each year, and each aluminum can not recycled uses the same energy as if you had filled the can half full with gasoline and poured it on the ground.

About 15 Walkers will then brave the 200 miles of roads, cafes, winds, and snows (?) for the next nine days. Their des' tination is the Eagle Valley Nature Center at Glen Haven on the Mississippi River. All. funds don~ to the Walkers go to ~pport the Wisconsin Chapter of the Nature Conservancy. Over the years Walkers have raised thousands of dollars for habitat and species preservation. Their efforts have - _ been recognized by the Nature Conservancy, the Ridges Sanctuary, and the Eagle Foundation. · Articles about the Eagle Walk have appeared in. numerous newspapers including both the Milwaukee Sentinel and Journal, the Chicago Tribune, Silent Sports Magazine, Walking Magazine, Badger Sports, the DOor County Advocate, and many other local publications.

Natural look, natural ingredients. The new decade has begun with an attitude of naturalness and simplicity. More is not always better, particularly with makeup. Now don't get me wrong, makeup is not being eliminated. The art is simply in applying it so that it appears natural. You don't want your makeup to be the first thing noticed. Save your bright lipsticks and glittery eyeshadow for evening. Even then, colors are more muted than they've been in the past. Have you ever seen someone wearing the wrong shade of foundation? How about eyelashes two inches long? Both of these probl~ms have been approached by Revlon and Max Factor. These two cosmetic manufacturers have developed products to avoid these makeup blunders. First is a 'clear' foundation. This foundation is colorless and can be worn on any skin tone. The result is a smooth, even finish with foolproof' color'. Second, is a mascara. RevIon and Max Factor have both developed a clear mascara. This mascara enhances the normallength of the lashes without distorting it. The colorless for- mulations moisturize and lengthens lashes. The naturalness in makeup·is hardly limited to these examples of foundation and mascara. Colors and ingredients are becoming more natual. Many of the makeup colors this season are showing up in earth tones taupe, cinnamon, and terra cotta · - in matte formulations. More manufacturers are using natural dyes derived from plants and mineral rather ·than synthetic dyes. This is good news for sensitive skin. In addition to more natural dyes, natural ingredients such as camomile, aloe vera, and cocoa butter are becoming more prevalent in beauty products. Less chemicals can mean less irritated .skin. Petroleum-based items, which danger the ozone when procesSed, are also being used less. Natural ingredients in beauty prod~cts are not limited to the products themselves. Many cosmetic manufacturers have · been using packaging similar to food and beverage containers which are not biodegradable. As a result, many cosmetic manufacturers are testing materials to make biodegradable/recyclable containers for their products. This means more unbleached, unprocessed and recycled papers and cardboard, and less plastic. Wisconsin weekly outdoor_ recreation ·report fishing.
