This year a trivia parade led off the festivities on Friday afternoon. "There's no other trivia contest like it anywhere," said -:-oliva. Close tO 100 volunteers join the staff of 90FM to help with the phones, computers, and announcing the game. The contest contained over 400 questions asked over the air in between the tradition sounds of golden oldies. The university television station, SVO cable channel29, also followed the teams, and provided live coverage from the 90FM studid. The team who called themselves "Network" won the contest for the seventh year in row. The team is led by Don Chesboro, a legal researcher at Harvard University, and Thom Aylesworth, a high school English teacher. Second place went to "Triviasaurus Rex CNOF at TKE," a group comprised ofstudents and graduates of the UWSP. Other top finishers were: "Astro Wolfpack", "Ted Cassidy's lurking in the subway", "Mutated Members", "Good Night Irene", "That thermometer's not for your mouth", "Hester's Harem", and "Hunt for Red Buttons". · The winning teams received trivia trophies. 90FM station manager Jennifer Bugni, a senior majoring in communication, supervised the event along with James Haney, a communication professor and faculty advisor to the station. Trivia is an enlightening experience. Anyone who stays up for 54 hours to play trivia, or to work the contest itself, definitely has to be dedicated or simply crazy," said·Bugni. Next year's contest has been set for April19-21. "What TV. series qilled a pool a cement pond?" Volunteers at 90FM calculated the results, and manned the phone lines for 54 ·hours.

There is no way a small paper like the Pointer can confirm or deny this. It would seem however, according to other sources, that the citizens ofWisconsin are fatheads, or perhaps fatted" calves. Jack Not;man in the Milwaukee Journal from last week Sunday stated that Wisconsin was going to have to pay rough~ ly 3.5 billion dollars to help bail out the savings and loans in sun belt states such as California, Texas and Florida. This comes out to about . $3,000 for an average family of four. Of this total fund for savings and loan bailout, ·some $325 billion . according to congressional auditors, Wisconsin will get a tiny amount in the tens of millions of dollars. This is hardly a "fair share" of the pie. In addition to this, David Obey, our congressman, reported on a battle he was engaged in with others in congress over payments for a new federal clean air bill. The amendment Obey was fighting agains( would have resulted in Wisconsin "paying twice for cleanup." Once as a result of our state cleaning itself up years ago, and once to cost-share the cleanup efforts of states that didn't see fit to clean up their acts until the government forced them to do so such as Ohio, Indiana, aRd Illinois. The fate of this amendment is still in the air but Obey thinks there is a "good chance" it will not pass. I wish I were as optimistic. states such as Wisconsin were in an economic depression a decade ago, offered us no economic help. While their economies were booming they drove around with bumper stickers that said "lj.et them freeze in the dark" referring to states such as Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Journal listed a group of things Wisconsin could do if we were allowed to to keep the money we were sending out to the sun belt states. The list included financing 55,000 home mortgages, a 5% cut in state income tax, increased health insurance for the uninsured, and even a new stadium in,Milwaukee. Three things about this can really bug a person though. First of all, why did the federal government let those idiot states like . Texas get into these problems in the first place? Secondly, where were our boys, the Wisconsin congressional and senatorial troop while we were being sheared like sheep? Thirdly, why do we put up with being · called "fat" and "cheeseheads" by these people we bail out time and time again? I guess it's more important that we bail out the sun belt states than help ourselves out here in Wisconsin. These are, by the way, the same sun belt states that, when the "snow belt" years already!) This may be !l good issue for you the voter to consider when you choose a candidate. Think about it. So it falls again on to the shoulders of Wisconsin, a place that gets less federal aid than almost any other state in the union to prop up the deadbeats. Wisconsinites will grumble but will pay their share twice like good soldiers. Its all for the good of theco~try. In any event, congressional elections are coming up this November.

Do you see a small, barely clothed child staring into a camera while flies land on his face? What about a side of hunger closer to home, right here in Portage county? A side often overlooked in the face of the enormity of the interna7 tiona! problem, but a problem nonetheless. · Hunger Cleanup is the country's largest student run volunteer event to helD the poor. The Hunger deanup program not only supports international programs, but also local ones. in fact, .50 percent of the contributions remain on a local - in Portage County level. Operation Bootstrap receives the money and uses it to aid people in need offood and emergency funds. ' On April 21, you can help. For three hoUfS, the Hunger Cleanup volunteers will be performing jobs such as cleaning community parks, washing buses, etc.. There are a wide variety of jobs avialable. The volunteer gets friends, relatives or anyone to sponsor them for their time. Last year, 100 volunteers raised -over $900. This year ,the goals have been set higher due to expanding involvement that includes .area Cleanup hopes to raise $1,500 with 150 volunteers, but your help is needed. If you cannot help on April 21, then try this, stop by the Hunger Cleanup booth in the UC Concourse next week arid drop off a quarter. That is all, one quarter. If only 25 .percent of the students would do this, over $500 would be raised to help fight this problem.

Tim Heindl ;;:~,:;;with 21 year old drinking ag~ Dear Editor: · Busting underage univers~ty students for consuming alcoholic beverages at parties is a relatively new activity for law enforcement departments across the state. It sprouted from the increase of the legal drinking age to 21 and has grown to cause more conflict on UW-campuses than any other controversial topic. We've heard it all before - if · · you're old enough to go to war at 18-years-old, then you should be able to have a beer. Nonetheless, the legal drinking age is 21, and it seems like there is nothing we, as college students, can do to.change it. What is really frustating is that this unfair law is commonly enforced in an unjust manner. A good example of this is the Phi Sig party that was inter- registering .06, and then was imrupted by the Stevens Point mediately given a ride in a patrol Police officers last February 3. vehicle to her own car. She was It was an incident that brought released from the patrol vehicle about some questionable beand then told by the officer that havior on the part of the officers.

Immediatley, this struck me What I learned was that underage individuals who as a contradiction to busting underage drinkers for the purpose recorded less than .03 were released from the party because of deterring alcohol related of the limited accuracy of the automobile accidents. I asked Kreisa if this was legitimate and Breathalyzer. This troubled me intensely because I know somecommon procedure for a police one who had attended the officer. He refused to answer gathering, was fmed for but said that Portage County patrols were iri t?e area and that possibly a county officer had done this. The girl is positive that it was a city officer that gave her the ride. Whoever g~ve her a ride, whether it was the Stevens Point Police Departmept or the County Sheriff Department, someone is in the wrong. I ~ I see absolutely no purpose in fining underage drinkers if they are going to be aided in killing themselves or others who could be involved in an accident as a result of this kind of behavior by .our so called "responsible" law enforcement agencies.

Letters to the Editor are still accepted even at this late time of the semester. Write about .anything you seem to have an opinion on. Then send the letter to: "Letters to the Editor" Pointer Newspaper 104 Communications Building UWSP Stevens Point, WI 54481 Dear Editor: On most UW campuses, students are more concerned about contracting a venereal disease than having their vehicles vandalized. Certainly, this is not the case at UWSP. In fact, I have been unfortunate enough to have my vehicle vandalized on at least five occasions in the three years I've attended this university. Nonetheless, our responsible campus security folks are always there to comfort us and dramatize their concern on our behalf. It is obvious, they have mastered the art ofnegligel).ce.. I don't ask much from the establishment I have chosen to pour my life savings into. All I want is a good education and some responsible behavior on the part of our security program. Fortunately, I was able to convince my parents to lend me the money to purchase a dependable pick up truck. It is the only vehicle I own and can depend on to get me from point A to point B without a costly breakdown. Therefore, I cherish my truck and expect it to remain in the condition that it . was when I brought it from home or until I smash it up myself. Unfortunately, UWSP campus security does not regard my logic as important or beneficial to them. Their attitude is, "Whatthehell, wedon'thaveto pay for the damage." They are correct; by state law they are not required to forlc over the cash to replace intentionally destroyed parts, but they could try harder to prevent vandalism. Our campus security are blind to the fact that their occupations are supposed to be a service to the students. We pay their incomes through our tuition fees. This means that they owe us. We don't owe them. I would not be griping about the incompetence of campus security if I were victimized ~ once or even twice, but now it is getting ridiculous and costly to replace and fix the items which have been tampered with. Quite frankly, my vehicle · has metamorphosed into a sewer product as a result of the laziness practiced by those mentally inferior individuals in the lower level of the George Stein Building. . I have heard all of campus securitY's advisements and excuses. Their number one excuse is that the university does not have adequate funds to purchase mote patrol cars. This excuse irks me the most, not because it's an outright lie. but because I don't understand how more vehicles would help decrease vandalism when the officers do not use the cars they already possess. It's the truth. Travel past the George Stein building sometime. If the patrol cars are parked right outside, you can be sure the officers are busy smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee or just engaging in general b.s., not to mention that the boss, Don Burling, must have returned home for the day. Their most widely used advisement is to have your in- .... surance company cover the cost of repairs. That's fine and dandy if you can afford full coverage and the increase on your insurance I after claiming vandalism damage for the fifth time in three years. · But wait a minute, my alltime favorite screw up - when I was actually accused of v J t dalizing my own vehicle. kidding, I was making an . sessment of damage done to my truck the previous evening in lot J, when I was approached and accused of vandalism by a campus security officer. Campus security is a joke. It would probably be cheaper to hire a P.I. to watph your vehicle every night than it is to park in an unprotected qampus lot right now. So forge~ the condoms and all that garbage about safe sex, and purchase an automobile security system . You know, the type ~ ] helps 4efend against authentiF vandals and not the owner o the vehicle.

Pointer Page 6 Thursday, April 12th, 1990 -OUTDOORS--Wall eye bag limits set on designated spearing lakes Spring and summer daily walleye bag limits of three, four and five have been set for all Northern Wisconsin lakes, ac. cording to Department of Natural Resources Secretary C.D. "Buzz" Besadny. The decision for a three ·and in some cases four daily bag limit for hook and line angling in the ceded territory directly affects the 178 lakes named for spearing by the Chippewa Indians this year. Besadny's decision means that 172 lakes will have daily bag limits of three; six lakes will -have a four-walleye bag limit and the remaining 683 walleye lakes in the treaty territory (those not to be speared) will have a daily limit of five walleye. "This decision should reassure all who plan summer vacations and recreation in Northern Wisconsin that they can look forward to a walleye fishing season with optimism and enthusiaSm," Besadny said. "The Chippewa Indians have commendably, voluntarily limited the number of walleye they want the opportunity to take," he continued. "Right now, we are confident that the restraint shown by the Chippewa will insure their objective of at least a three walleye daily bag limit for non-Indian anglers is met, at least for now." At the same time, Besadny cautioned that fishing regulations may be reassessed later this year on 41 of the lakes named by the tribes, depending upon the number fish taken by spearing and projected open water fishing. When the Chippewa announced on March 15 that they would take no more than 54 percent of the total allowable eaten on the majority of the lakes, their intent was to insure no lake in the North would have any walleye bag limit less than three a day, Besadny explained. However, Besadny said that the announced Chippewa quotas affect lues in different ways, primarily because of different types of fish population surveys; so the state could not be absolutely certain that the three daily bag limit--if carried throughout the normal open water season--would adequately protect the resource. When final spearing harvest numbers are calculated in late spring or early summer by Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission biologists, Besadny said DNR biologists would review limits and seasons on the 41 lakes and depending on the calculated safe harvest level, the department could consider other actions, including curtailing hook and line fishing starting as early as November. There are a number of reasons why the 41 were listed, Besadny said, but the main one is that there is a chance that documented and projected har, vests could reduce the remaining number of fish to the point where some season shift would be necessary · to protect the resource. Besadny characterized the department's decisions as" good news for northern residents and the tourism industry. But there should be no doubt that the state has the obligation as confirmed by the federal court." Last year the Chippewa named 254 lakes for spearing, compared to the 178 this year. About 16,000 walleye were ·taken by the Chippewa in 1989. There are an estimated 1.6 million walleye in the 861lakes in the ceded territory covered by the treaties, roughly the northern third of Wisconsin. About 670,000 walleye are taken by hook and line anglers in Wisconsin each year. . Last year, reduced bag limits were set on the 254 lakes where · harvests were claimed by the Chippewa for spring and f~ll spearing and gill netting. Some adjustments were made later in the season because tribes speared .only 114 of the lakes they originally named. The lakes where potential season shortening or reduction to a le$S than three walleye bag limit exist by county include: Ashland County, English and Gordon Lakes; Bayfield County, Bony, Diamond, Jackson, Owen, · Long, Middle Eau Claire, Nainekagon, Pike Lake Chain and Upper Eau Claire • lakes; Douglas County, Amnicon, Minnesuing, Nebagamon, Lower Eau Claire and Upper St. Croix lakes; · Forest County, Butternut, Franklin and Metonga lakes; Iron County, Pine and Trude lakes and Turtle-Flambeau Flowage; Oneida County, Clear, Crescent, Pelican and Two Sisters Lakes and Will ow Flowage; Price County, Pike · and Round lakes; Sawyer County, Nelson Lake and Vilas County, Ballard, Big Arbor Vitae, Big Muskellunge, Big Sand, Harris, Kentuck, Laura, Little St. Germain, Long, Trout and White Sand lakes. ECO-BRIEFS by Timothy Byers Staff Writer Have any of you been to WalMart lately? They seem to be leading the way in the new cor. porate move to environmental consciousness. In the clothing section in particular there are many shirts and accesories with . Earth Day and Earth Week logos. The coming celebration the week of April19 to 27 seems to have snowballed across the country and the Wal-Mart reaction is to be commended. They also have posters in the store that speak of their commitment to selling green products. Another company that is to be commended is Earth Care Paper Inc. They are a company that sells recycled paper. If you ever wondered where your old paper went after you put it in the recycling bin this catalog is the place to look. Post cards, .Christmas cards, blank cards, computer paper, note pads, calendars, they're all here. Earth Care Paper Inc. can be reached at P.O. Box 3335, Madisorl, WI 533704, (608) 256-5522. Fort -Howard has often been maligned as a polluter of Green Bay and the Fox Valley, but they too are joining the green parade. Their newest product is 100% recycled toilet paper. Retailers were not so sure the public was ready for this product but 7 weeks of sales have eased their concerns. Sales have been strong of Green Forest tissue and paper towels and expansion throughout the midwest is expected this spring. ~ Other business news is ili.at money managers are betting heavily on the environmental services sector. A portfolio manager of a major fund says that "Cleaning up our polluted planet will be the growth industry of the 90s." Investments for such companies are alternative energy frrms, environmental groups, pollution · control, recycling, and water technologies. The thrust behind this new investment is the hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into brand-new industries as government cleanup money is distributed. · · ~ ~ Electric vans may be in our future if Johnson Controls Inc. has its way. The small Colorado · based frrm wants to put 10,000 · electric-powered fleet vans on the road. The company says the vans will be more reliable than past electric vehicle efforts and couldn't come at a better time. With the new Clean Air Act passed last week Jo~on says the climate is excellent for alternative energy vehicles. California utilities are underwriting the vehicles and hope to prove their worth in smoggy southern California. ~ While the Exxon Valdez oil spill was a tetrible environmental disaster, an even greater oil spill hazard may be happening right on our own streets. Unrecycled car oil is a major polluter of local waterways. The lzaak Walton League says unrecycled car oil is just as deadly as liu·ge tanker spills especially when the oil is poured down street drains or washed off coated driveways. The League also says that consumers purchase and waste many times more oil each year than the 11 million gallons spilled in Alaska last year. . ~ The ~ton League (IWLA) also has a new guide out to help citizens in their local efforts. A Citizen's Guide to Clean Water is available free from the IWLA at 1401 Wilson Blvd., Level B, Arlington, VA 22209. The guide says that citizen volunteers play a vital role in the fight to protect America's water resources. State and federal agencies do not have the resources to patrol and control all waterways and the IWLA wants citizens to know how to use the Clean Water Act to ensure their water is swimmable and drinkable. There is another side to preservation besides saving natural areas. Groups such as the Nature Conservancy try to buy and preserve critical habitat. The National Park Service is in charge of many national, natural treasures. Now the Park Service mission is expanding to historic buildings as well. Structures such as grain elevators, historic bridges, post office buildings, and even breweries are ending up in industrial heritage parks. While the Park Service is interested in these buildings-it is up to local governments to provide the initial funding and impetus. European storks are facing some tough odds UJ.is year. Not orily ·are their northern nesting points endangered, they face peril all along their migration route. Last spring only 15 came back to Denmark compared to 4,000 breeding pairs a century ago.

Pointer Page 7 eWEs to house . state WAEE office The Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education (WAEE) has announced a new state office to be at the Central Wisconsin Environmental Station OQ the shores of Sunset Lake. Directors of the orgaJ!ization inspected the facility and formulated plans and goals for 1990 at a recent meeting there. WAEE is a voluntary organization composed of teachers; and other natural resources, conservation and youth agency professionals who are interested in providing "environmental • awareness and responsible action throu~h formal and nonfonnal education." The office will serve as a coordination point for state activites for W AEE members. Activities such as newsletter preparation, membership record maintenance, coorespondence and conference registration will be handled there. The facility will also act as a point of reference for networking information regarding enviro:.1mental education around the state for the organization. . The mailing address of the office is Amherst Junction. The University of WisconsinStevens Point operates the station. W AEE began i.'l the early 1970s, and was frrst initiated by the Department of Public Instruction. Though it maintains a close affiliation with the DPI in regard to environmental education in public schools, its membership has expanded to include individuals outside the traditional classroom setting and itS activites are aimed at a broad range of interests regarding education about the environ- · ment, according to its president, Randy Champeau, a UWSP professor. The organization hosts a variety of conferences and workshops held at various locations around the state and makes awatds and presentations to teachers and schools in recognition of their efforts to promote environmental education. . Joe Passineau, director of the Central Wisconsin Environmental Station, said the establishment of the association's office at his facility fulfilled part of the station's mission. "This new partnership complements well the station's effort to serve the region and state through its many on-site programs and outreach activities in environmental education," Passineau said.

"Education is the respODsibility of the person seeking it," claims Webster. '"There are a lot of misconceptions and ignorance about the tribal nations and the treaties." This causes fears and stereotypes." · .Webster feels that reducing tensions between the white population and the Indian population is through dialogue, and by disseminating information to those who take the time to become informed. Webster understands the preconceived notions that whites have about Indians and the role that they play in contemporary society. Even the word 'Indian' itself is a misnomer. Webster says the preferred word .for Indians is Native American. This helps to remind everyone of who was here first. Webster says the Native Americans made room for the white man, sometimes peacefully and sometimes under pressure. . .

I would like to clear the poil\t . that the first single "Nothing Compares 2 U" is not a love song. Although the title itself makes for great flattery, the song is filled with pain and loss, as is the entire album.

She seems to be speaking for herself but she shows emotions we all may have felt. As for "Nothing Compares 2 U," I feel that unless you have met with these emotions, you will not get the full effect of the song. The theme of the album is summed up at the very begin- ning when O'Connorrecited the prayer, "God grant me the serenity' to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

These precious metals come in different fonns which determine their value and durability. Gems are available in varying forms which may differ in value and durability.

It still has the look of gold but is much more durable. Sterling silver is another choice for jewelry. Sterling silver is almost pure silver: 92.5 . parts silver and 7.5 parts copper for strength. Different countries may have different markings for their silver, which are similar to sterling: 900/1000. Gold-filled jewelry is gold formed around another metal. This is not p1ating because the gold becomes a part of the_ inner metal. The gold will not peel away from the inner metal. Vermaille is considered a precious metal but contains a· lighter gold content than goldfilled. Vermaille is sterling silver with an overlay of gold.

It is similar to white gold but is not as shiny. All of these metals will make a quality piece of jewelry. Electroplated jewelry does not. This process uses ' the least amount of gold. A m!nute laytr of 18k or 24k gold is attached electrically to a base metal. This type of plating is often seen in TV jewelry offers. It is not durable and often peels off the base metal. If you will be buying jewelry with gemstones, make sure you know if they are natural or synthetic. Synthetic stones are the same chemical campostion as natural stones. · They are also often more durable than natural stones. Imitation stones are usually a piece of colored glass. The quality of stones is ~ome­ times difficult to notice but the setting can make a difference. An electroplated setting will make any gem cheaper looking.
