decl'ares that the riot was an unavoidable consequence of the
city's
leniency
and
the
university's casualness.
"They are not rioting for the
drinking age," says the source,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity. "People are goin~ .
to party. You can't stop it. If
there was a clear-cut answer it
would have been done by now."
The former OSA member
maintains that the rioting is due
to a lack of nothing better to do
and that the drinking age issue is
a guise.
·
('It's going to happen until
someone gets busted big-time.
Currently, the police just contain the problem. The city
should find out whoever organized it and hold them responsible. What is the city going to
do, just keep paying thousands
of dollars for damages caused?"
r "I was a member OSA last
semester. We are supposed to
have a say in all student matters
and just because the OSA condemns the riots doesn't mean
shit." The source says that student government is only subject
to
the
Chancellor's
administration's whims.
This riot picks up from last
year when Oshkosh had similar
incidents. The UWO officials
have been trying to deter protest
by warning students that if they
are caught rioting they may face
expulsion. ' But, Samuelson
stated, "These riots will continue until the drinking age is
lowered."
"We want 19!" "We want
19!" This chant was heard in
Oshkosh on Thur$day,· Oct. 4,
during a riot that.focused on the.
current Wisconsin drinking age.
,The riot, .which occured on
Algoma St., was sparked when
a party at 608 W. Lincoln St.

which Wll§ held in the basement,

of beer, wi~e coolers and shots

Apathy declining
by Barry Radler
Sta.fl Writer
An iD.creasing amount of student invol~ment is apparently
replacing a general attitude of
complacency among the student
population at UWSP. John
Jury, director of Campus Activities, states that early impressic;>ns indicate a turnaround in
student activity and enthusiasm
which he calls "significant."
Jury and other staff involved
in Campus Activities are
pleasantly surprised with the
new tendency and hope it continues. Jury cites a relatively
large turnout at "Spud Bowl"
and larger audiences at Encore
events this year as early indications. A decrease in student behavioral
problems, - an
extraordinary number of students involved in- intramurals
and initial interest in organizations ranging from Amnesty International to PRSSA are
· currently, reversing a stagnant
student attitude. Jury says there has been a sense of apathy, compared to this year, which has
persisted during the mid and late
eighties.
Jury tempers his praise with
criticism, though, calling student voter participation in
general elections "embarrassing," and he would like to see
the current trend of participation
manifested in elections. Julie
Apker, P.R. Director for SGA,
enthusiastically agrees. Apker
heads a public relations committee which is helping stimulate voter awareness through
student-run media. Apker also
plans to have booths set up in the

n~sty as it wants to be
Freedom of speech not black and white
As
by Ron Wirtz
Editor-in-Chief
People will never be settled
on the issue of censorship. The
pros and cons offset each other
too much to ever establish a
defmitive line between freedom
of speech and censorship.
However, a case in Florida
recently attempted to draw the
line, and it looks pretty crooked.
·
· On October 3rd, Charles
Freeman was convicted of a
misdemeanor charge for selling
the 2 Live Crew album "Nasty
As They W anna Be" in his Fort
Lauderdale music store after the
album had been banned by a
,..,federal judge for its reputed
obscenity. He faces up to one
year in jail and a $1,000 fme.
There's really two separate
issues ~ere. One being the banning of the album itself, the
other being the conviction of a
store owner for selling it. Both
are social corrimentaty on the
short-sightedness of our judicial
system and those who condemn
rap music.
.
The thing that amazes me
about the Freeman case is the
nature of his _ conviction.
·Freeman is black. The ENTIRE
jury was white. They convicted
him in only two and one half
hours. P~ople say color is only
skin deep, but this jury never
bothered to look beyond their
own skin color to the social issues more important in deter-
mining the artistic value of the
banned album.
The Constitution grants fair
trial by a jury made up of one's
peers. Clearly this jury was not
a cross-section of the county in
which Freeman lived. Florida's
inner cities have high black
populations. They also have
significant Cuban and Spanish
background populations.
Even more interesting is the
fact that out of 35 original jurors
selected, only ONE was black,
and he was not chosen in the
fmal random selection. Now
this is not Beverly Hills or
Plover we're talking about.
This is Fort Lauderdale. So the
question remains--how could
the court system have possibly
picked a jury so dicidedly
white?
In my mind there is only one
reason. Precedent. These two
separate cases have allowed the
federal court system to set
precedent against the rap industry for its abusive nature.
In a larger view, it has set
·standards which reinforce the
status quo while styfling
minority voice and expression.
What's disturbing is that the
U.S. judiciary system appears to
be blatantly abusing the power
it possesses to stamp out alternative expression so vital to a truly
demoCratic society.
Gun· control
Let's face facts. The make-up
of this jury showed that the court
system brought a double-barreled shotgun to a knife fight.
They did nothing explicitly illegal, but they made up for it by
being grossly unethical.
Rap music is targeted for a
· hard-luck youth population
growing up in a brutal and
depressing setting, particularly
as a black. Yes, it's harsh, it's
graphic, it's abusive. But it's
also more true-to-life than
everything else in the music industcy.
· Freeman was convicted by a
jury who was no more his peers
than a group of Chinese monks
are as a jury for a Canadian TV
repairman. They don't speak
the same language.
What matters is Freeman and
his jury speak from different social contexts. He might as well
have had twelve Church Ladies
for a jury.
To convict Freeman with an
all white jtiry would be like
having an all black jury decide
on the value of country music.
Yes, some blacks do listen to country music, but as culture its
not appreciated enough to give
them the power to decide it's ultimate fate. So it is with rap and
the middle class· white community.
The white community
making such a fuss over the "art-
less" and "valueless" rap industry only evaluates rap with ·
its own criteria instead of judging it with objectivity through
the eyes and motivations of the
musicians. People must recognize that these collective
perspectives are cut from completely different social molds.
That's not to say you have to
love, or even like rap music, and
buy every Easy E, NWA and 2
Live Crew album ever made.
But people ~o need to become
tolerant to it. People have to
transcend their own views and
values in order to recognize the
real values and motivations behind things they don't like or understand.
Whether you like rap or not,
it has intrinsic value because
SOME people do like it. It also
serves as a medium for black expression. It is one of the
only such mediums that the
generic white community pays
attention to--but, sadly, only
with the intention of repressing
it.
Evaluation of a predot:ninantly black institution by a group of
whites automatically condemns
rap because it is alien and
threatening to the glaringly
white institutions making ·the
fmal decision.

Last Tuesday in Milwaukee,
gun control backers rallied in
front of City Hall to support a
gun-regi&tration proposal.
Later; at a news conference,
Ald. Lorraine McNamare-McGraw boasted her opinion that
registration is the first step in
educating citizens about responsible gun use.
NONSENSE. Gun registration has not the slightest-bit to
do with firearm education. The
education she spoke of is disseminated by hunter safety
programs and similar classes
open to the p~h!ic.
What is most disturbing to
me and thousands of other
sportspeople is the fact that gun
control advocates are blinded by
a mirage- of misconceptions.
They fail to acknowledge the
· ,-eonseq~~nces - and uselessness
of gun control laws.

THE FAR SIDE
By GARY LARSON
We all recognize that the
Second Amendment of the Constitution grants U.S. citizens the
right to keep and bear arms. Unfortunately, this amendment is
threatened Qy those who lack a
thorough knowledge of how
gun control works.
It operates in a variety of
ways depending on the intensity
of gun-related problems in a
specific urban area. Sometimes
it functions by· prohibiting gun
possession altogether. Usually,
though, it puts ultimatums on
firearm purchases and possession.
For example, waiting
periods for purchasing weapons
are often established. Also,
customers may be required to
apply for an identificatiOn card
prior_ to buying a gun. Either
way, gun- control will not work
but deny law-abiding citizens
of their rights. There are just too
many firearms already in circulation.

American freedom: for me or you?
The American people, God
bless them, are a mixed-up
bunch. When it comes to this
business of "censorship" they
are as giddy as barnyard geese.
In one breath they reject censorship: in the next they embrace
it. What in the name jofThomas
Jefferson is going on?
The question is prompted by
a pc:)ll released last week by the
newlyk organized Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection
of Free Expression. Because· I
am one of the center's eight trustees, I can speak with real enthusiasm about its prospects.
More of that in a moment.
Out of sheer curiosity, the
center's
director,
former
Unieversity of Wisconsin president Robert O'Neil, figured his
first task would be to fmd out
how the American people feel
about freedom of expression.
He thus commissioned a survey.
Professional

idea? We have a job to do.
The new Thomas Jefferson
Center also will have a job to do.
As a non-profit association,
loosely affiliated with the
Universityof Virginia, the
center's mission is at once comprehensive and narrow. It is
narrow in the sense that it will
deal solely with freedom of expression, leaving other part<; of
the Bill of Rights to others.
Broadly, it will defend the right
of an individual "to think, to see,
to read, to say, to sing, to print,
to sculpt, to ftlm, to paint, or to
embody beliefs or ideas graphically or symbolically."

Dear Editor:
Twenty percent of the

stolen each year, Each year students, faculty and staff of the
University lose thousands of
dollars worth of property to

these thefts, the single contributing factor was the manner
in which the bicycles were lock. ed.
Using bar and shackle locks,
(U-Shaped) is an effective way
to reduce the risk of your bicycle
being stolen. _According to one
study, bolt cutters are used in 88
percent of the thefts. The Ushaped Locks have been proven
very effective against bolt cutting devises, as well as hacksaws, hammers and drills. Most

Outdoor.\ Editor
To Andy "Woodie" Nelson, a
UWSP watershed management
major, "waterfowl management" is more than a term in a
text book. It's so important, in
fact, that he independently researches wood ducks.
Nelson has been studying
·. 'this beautiful species since his
project began in the spring of
1987, when it was part of an independent study project during
his senior year of high school.
The project, which includes
building,
installing
and
monitoring wood duck boxes,
encompasses a nine.mile stretch
of the Milwaukee River in
Washington ·County and two
other areas in Marinette and
Florence Counties located in
northeastern WiscOnsin.
· ~ "It's not a scientific project.
I haven't done anything to
analyze ~ nesting results or
anything like that," said Nelson.
" It really·is a hobby. I guess
what I'm trying to do is have a
little bit of fun with it, learn
some things about wood ducks
and help the duck population in
general."
- He notes that 'the project is
indeed fulftlling his expectations and it provides him with
in-depth hands-on experience
that is sometimes difficult to
identify in a classroom setting.
The study is successful in that it
teaches Nelson a great de81
about · the entire concept of
natural resources.
Nelson is discovering a good
success rate on his Milwaukee ·
River study in West Bend. With
twen!y-one wood duck nesting
boxes located here, 13 nests ·

four spring seasons of the

Nelson records all the informa~
Regarding this study, Nelson
says, "one thing that is really interesting is that after the first
year, . I had two hens . that
returned to my wood ' duck
boxes. One of them returned to
the exact same box as the year
before and another one returned
to a box that was real close to
where she had been the year
before." He has had banded
hens return every year of the
study.
On the contrary, Nelson's 60
boxes dispersed on Springdale
Creek in Marinette County and
Pattern Lake in Florence County have not been a big hit with
the wood ducks. "I've only had
three of four boxes over four
years that have contained wood
ducks. At the same time, there
have been seven nests of hooded
mergansers."
He maintains that this
species has created a unique
situation. Nelson suggests that
one of the merganser nests established this past spring may
have been \lsed by at least two
separate hens since it contained
17 eggs as opposed to the six
and the nine eggs found in two
other nesting boxes.·
This is called a "dump nest"
because one female lays her
eggs and abandons themwhile a
different hen incubates her own
eggs combined with the other
duck'·s clutch.

boxes, Nelson says other critters
take refuge in them. In winter,
while discarding unwanted
debris from the boxes, he sees a
variety ' of wildlife . inhabiting
them. . ,
:
Grey squirrels, red squirrels,
flying squirrels and deer mice
are occasionally found living
within the shelter environment
of a wood. duck box. Among
many trPes of birds species,
saw-whet owls, screech owls
- and barred owls use the boxes.
In one instance, "The barred
owls had taken advantage of a
box that had lost its cover and
they -were just using the open
box. They had three young ones
· and some garder snakes ··in the
box. When we checked it, the
young ones were eating, so that
:was kind of neat," Nelson said.
Nelson says he has not found
predation to be a problem but
that other species do compete
with wood ducks for nesting
space. Along the Milwaukee
River, starlings are an extensive
problem in terms of competition.
Nelson has learned from
Frimk Bellrose, inventor of the
wood duck box, that this is unfortunate because starlings will
use their aggressiveness to drive
out wood ducks. Even in instances where a duck nest is established, starlings will force out
the hen. Nonetheless, Nelson
has not seen signs of this occurring in his study locations.
Besides helping him earn
credits in both high school and
at the University of WisconsinWashington County, Nelson's
study is beneficial in other
wayg, "It has been a lesson in
natural resources, really. You
could say just wildlife, but in the
time that you spend paddling
down a river and looking at the
land use that's going on around
the river and how it changes ,..
from year to year you get insight
into the whole concept," said
Nelson.
Furthermore, Nelson feels
his study is proving beneficial in
helping him acquire summer
employment in the natural
resources'field.
"It's something that a lot of
people are interested in, who are
in natural resources. So in that
sense it's probably a good tool
to talk about myself and the
things I've learned, for an interview, but I think, more importantly, it has reinforced my
personal belief that you have to
do everything you can to protect
wetlands."
. Nelson plans to continue his
wood duck study indefinitely.
Upon his qompletion at UWSP,
he hopes to acquire employment
in northern Wisconsin, thereby
granting command of the
project to his younger brother.

reintroduction work, there are
some 60 free-flying trumpeter

Indian Art Show to run through October
The original document of the
Treaty of 1822 and several oil
paintings depicting its signers
will be the focal point of the
seventh annual Indian Art Show
which opened Sunday, Oct. 7 at
UWSP' s Edna Carlsten Gallery.
Featuriitg traditional art by
Indians of the state, the show
will continue through Oct. 28.
The treaty and the paintings
were obtained from the State
Historical Society by the show's
curator,
Professor
David
Wrone. The parchment document with its seals and signatures, including the approval of
President James Monroe noted
on the back in his handwriting,
is one of few, if·not the only
' treaty, to be fotind outside the
in
'National
Archives
Washington, D.C., according to
Wrone.
The paintings by American
artists of the territorial period
are of the Menominee representatives who met with the
Stockbridge, Oneida. Tuscarora. St. Regis and Munsee Indian leaders of New York state.
The treaty signing led to the
migration of the new York tribes
into the Green Bay area.
- Coordinated by acting gallery director Brendagingles, the
exhibition will include the work
of about 20 Indian artists. Baskets, pipes, headwork and
ceremonial dress will be among
the items displayed and offered
for sale. Six prizes, including a
$500 first place award, $250
second place, and four $100
third place awards, will be given
at the reception to the top participants.
Among the artists' work will
be James F. Frechetter Jr. of
Rhinelander who has designed
Menominee figures which will
be ·painted on the gallery's
walls. Freshette also will show
several of his wooden clan
figures, part of a one-of-a-kind
collection housed a UWSP, plus
a large wood carving which.will
enhance the sovereignty theme.
The ~xhibition al~o will feature Iroquois traditional pottery
by Rose Kerstetter, Oneida,
which is pictured on the posters
for this year's event, and corn
husk dolls made by four genera·
tions of the family of Amelia
Cornelius of Oneida.
;
'
Founded by Wrone, the show
reflects the university's involvement in cultural diversity and
providing educational services
to all of the indigenous tribes of
Wisconsin. A permanent collection of Indian art is being
dev~loped on_campus, in part
from items purchased at the annual shows from other sources.
Gallery hours are 10 am. to
4 p;m., Mondays through
Fridays, 1 to 4 p.m. on
weekends, 7:30 to 9:30p.m. on

other events in the Fine Arts

We can't complain about the
line-up of upcoming films this
fall, especially since fall is
usually somewhat of a dry
season for us and other
moviegoers.
The first of thes~ films that
Dennis and I have taken in is the
remake of the 1952 thriller
"Narrow Margin." The film
stars Gene Hac}anan (Mississippi Burning, The Package) as
a fast talking (and even faster
thinking) district attorney who
is set upon the task of bringing
to trial a murder witness (played
by Anne Archer).
Everythirig goes well exeept
for the hitmen w~o are trying to
· kill them, and the fact · that
they're stuck on a train in the
middle of nowhere. Every passenger is suspicious, every incident pushes them farther into
trouble and every minute the
hiding places become fewer.

modem standpoint and a classical one. The film contained

the attempt to hold true to
mysery classics, I very much enjoyed "Narrow Margin" and
· rate it a 7 1/2.
"Narrow Margin"
brings a new meaning to

by D. S.
I felt the movie was well
done in many respects. It had
great cinematography and
beautiful
scenery
which
provided a good background for
the story to take place. At some
points I even found myself
paying more attention to the
scenery than to the plot.
I thought the movie· had a
good cast and that the characters
were well portrayed. As with
many mystery movies, a film
should have a couple plot twists
and suprises, this one had just
that. By the way keep an eye out
for the mysterious "fat man."
"Narrow Margin" was v_ery
well put together. The plot
developed at a steady_pace and
it had the flavor of a Hitchcock
film. I have one small gripe
about this film and that is that
the "bad guys" were rather easy
to spot. In various scenes you
could tell who was the bad guy
and then you'd have to wait and
wait until they did anything ~
.the heroes. Many times I found
my~lf saying "when are they
,
going to get it over with?"
So, as a result, I give "Narrow Margip." ~ 6.

The Peace Corps: idealism
anf:l experience (Part II)
by Mary Kaye Smith
Features Editor
·
The Peace Corps may
·promise to be "the toughest job
you'll ever love." It may offer
you a wealth of experience and
the chance to serve mankind.
But what is the reality beyond
the good intentions?
Once a Peace Corps applicant has been invited to serve
and has undergone a rigorous
three month training program,
he will be placed in the region
that he has been assigned to.
Once lhere, he will likely experience-a small amount of culture shock, as often the living
conditions that a volunteer has
to deal with are
quite different from those in the
United States.
While each volunteer
receives a stipend to live on
roughly equivalant to what a
teacher from that · country
makes, he is expected to live at
the same economic level as local
people.
This could mean
living in a mud hut without running water or living in a small
hol!';e with modem conviences
suc!1 as electricity. A volunteer
mt• · be prepared to face either
ext· ·:1e.
_
The Peade Corps volunteer
must also be prepared to eat the
cui~ine of..t.hc;..local culture and
lot~ r fit. Another factor that he
mu ·· ~ deal with is his new mode
oft· ·msportation --walking.
\ ' olunteers who are women
fac an extra adjustment
· pre' 1 ~m as many of the cultures
in " 11i·ch they are placed are
tra ' ·ion oriented. This basical1y : ' :ms that these women do
no: we the same freeaoms that
American women are used to.
The Peace Corps tries to compensate for this situation by
placing women volunteers with
host families and giving them
guidelines to live by.
A member of the Peace
Corps must not only be prepared
to deal with physical hardships
but emotional ones as well.
These difficulties are the ones
which are most often cited by
the members (one-third in all)
who drop out before their twoyear stint is up.
Loneliness; boredom and
stress are the three most common side effects of service. Although the Peace Corps tries to
combat these difficulties by encouraging their volunteers to
visit other workers, to get away
for weekends and to build a social life within their host community, every person inevitably
must be prepared to face them in
some degree.
,
Not that a stint in the Peace
Corps is wrought with inevitable loneliness. According
to Wayne Martin, a recruiter
from Minneapolis, much of the -

Calling All Commuters!
UWSP Health Service offers
the same services for commuters as for noncommuters.
The one major difference is
commuters often don't take advantage of the Health Center. .
The health services at UWSP
have four main goals: Prevention of illness and injury, quality
treatment of illness and injury,
rehabilitation and follow-up
care, and promotion of high
level health and wellness care.
The health center meets its
goals by maintaining a well
equipped staff, handling out- patient care, offering lab work
and providing wellness promotion programs.
.
A couple of common services students often use are the
walk through cold clinic in conj~ction with the pharmacy.
There is no charge for cough
medicine or a strep-throat culture for ex~ple.
Another reason many students visit the pharmacy is ·to
purchase contraception. The
health center carries condoms,
sponges, foam etc ... for a minimal fee. The fee is less than if
you went to Kmart!
The birth control pill also is
available to females for five dollars a month after a pap and pelvic ·exam. This exam can be

An extension of the Health

LAs are University

They can present programs for

resident halls use their services
but commuters should feel free
to use them too.
If you are interested in such
programs as stress management,
kicking the smoking habit,
health issues, private consultation and nutrition to name a
few, stop in at the Health Center.
The Health Center is located on
Fremont street up by the back of
the University Center, in Dezell
Hall on the second floor.
Even if you really don'thave
a pressing concern or illness at
this moment, I urge you to stop
in the Health Center and check
it out. They offer a lot more
than the few things I mentioned
in this article.
Stop in and ask or pick up
some sheets on issues and services that you would like to
know more about. After all part
of your tuition pays for the service every year. Why not use it
to your benefit?

Halloween
Artist Bryan Taylor, an alumnus of UWSP, is showing his
work in a Halloween exhibition
which opened Thursday, Oct. 4
and runs throughout the month
in the gallery of the Museum of
Natural History.
A freelance artist and house
painter in Madison and Stevens
Point, Taylor says 19 mixed
media p$tings and sculptures
are "pretty but scary." He uses
air brush, acrylic, pencils and
markers to create his "attractive
vampiresses, vampires and
pumpkin patch people." The
pumpkins, which have had a
curse put on them by a witch,
were inspired by real jack-olaterns carved by Taylor and his
nephews.
Old houses,
cemeteries and other frightening objects appear in many of
the works.
The 1987 UWSP graduate

.Turnovers lead to Pointer football loss at St0ut
by Timothy A: Bishop
Sports Editor
MENOMONIE-~The UWSP
football team had trouble hanging on to the football here Satur. · day 'as the Pointers suffered their ·
seeond straight loss, falling 2515 to UW~Stout.
·
The Point~rs ar'e now 3-2
overall and 1-2 in the Wisconsin
State Uuiversity Conference.
The Pointer offense shut itself down, turning the ball over
five times. in the first half, with
three interceptions and two
, fumbles. , Three of those turnovers~ame immediately after
Stout had given the Pointers the
ball.
Pointer coach John Miech
said that it was not a loss which
. could be blamed on the defense.
"The whole story of this
game was the turnovers," said
Miech. "You can't fault the
defense when they have to spend
the entire game on the field. It
is unheard to tum the ball over
eight times."
Despite the Pointers five first
half turnovers,- UWSP managed
to stay in the game, with the
Pointers only giving up two field
of
goals despite good field position
throughout the entire first half.
Then, disaster s:ruck. Rather
than receive the bdl to start off
the second half, Stout elected to ·
take advantage of a strong north
wind. That decision paid immediate dividends as the
Pointers watched the shortkickoffbounce down the field. Stout
picked up the loose ball to take
possession of the free kick at the
Pointers' 36.
Stout turned the ball over
three plays later, but the ·
Pointer's still couldn't hang on
to the ball and gave the Blue
Devils the ball right back, fumbling on the very next play at the
UWSP 17. Stout quickly converted its third field goal.
The next two Stout possessions were quick, and provided
the death knoll for Point. The
Stout defense shut down the
Pointers on four plays during the
next two UWSP drives. Then, .
Sto1,1t returned the first punt 60
yards for a touchdown. After the
Blue Devils took a fair catch on
the next punt, they ran on the
next play, with an 80-yard

The Statler Brothers' special
style of country music has captivated audiences with songs
such as "Do You Remember
These," and "I'll Go To My
