Intramurals lost fields to' athletic complex
But students gai~Jed future opportunities
by Joe Wornson
Sta.f.l·Writer
The construction of the
Health Enhancement Center has
had controversial effects on intramural and club sports. There
is no longer enough space to accommodate all those who want
to use the playing fields. As in. tramural director of UWSP,
Monte Char).es is in charge of
the intiamurill fields.
"The complex took the big
intramural field to the west
which was three football fields,
so it is kind of squeezing us for
the other activities," said Charles.
. Charles feels that the center
was not 4esigned for any
specific athletic event.
"Naturally, indoor track and
field events and things of that
nature will be there but it's not
a basketball arena. It's a diversified health enhancement center. It's primarily for the·entire
student body, not a select group
of people," said Charles.
Even though three intramural
fields were demolished, intramural sports still remain at
the same level as last year.
"We just have to use the existing conditions that remain.
And we did that. We have four
intramural fields on the east intramural field," said Charles.
"We could have one on
Coleman Field but we weren't
pressed Into using it because the·
marching band is using it along
with the Rugby Club," added
Charles.
Charles feels that there is
adequate playing room if there
isn't a large increase in in-
tramural teams. One type of
possible expansion might in- '
elude lights.
"Somewhere along the line
here, the light issue will come up
because we are in· a squeeze
· position. When w.e get to this ·
time of year with the d.a ylight
savings time we will lose.
another hour of playing time."
"I can· see that' we would
eventually like lighted playing
field area so we can get another
four, five, or six hours of use,"
said Charles.
a
Charles feels that the loss of
space is well justified because of
the benefits of the new complex.
"It is going to be a real asset
to this university and to the co111r
munity and especially to the students.
The students have
priority on it and then ·if we
have extra time we will let
others qse it," said Charles.
Currently, the intramural
department is thinking about
having all campus co-ed track
meets or swim meets.
Outside the complex, seeding has been done on some play. ing fields and turf has been
added. The east intramural field
will be upgraded·.
"The city has agreed through
the mayor to fix the fields just
north of Quandt and Berg gyms
since we are trying to get a NFL
team in here for pre-season
training," said Charles.
A professional football team
training in Stevens Point would
add fmancially to the area and
also to the upkeep of intramural
fields.
A sign placed by the tree
reads: This tree is a representatio~ of peace. This tree
and the symbols hung on it will
remain until the Middle East
Crisis is over. All organizations
are welcomed to hang a symbol
on the tree. Please submit your
symbol to the , Social Issues
Committee in the ACT Office
and join in our message of
peace.
We cannot change the whole
world at once. We must strut
with ourselves and implen:tent it
into our community so it can be
implemented into our state, nation and finally our world.
"The peace tree will remain
until soldiers are home and the
Middle East Crisis is over," said
Lowney.
The Social Issues Forum is a
panel of about 15 people from
ACT, RHA, University Activities Board, Student Government Association, Interfaith
Council and Cultural Diversity.
Social Issues Forum wishes
to increase awareness of issues
which are taking place in the ·
' world and to provide information on all sides of an issue.

It is important, he added, that
people have new opportunities
to be ed\lcated about the value

of the state's natural resources
to improved management of
. them.
To complete the concentration, business students will be
required to take courses in:
Recreationai use of forests

campaigns becoming big business
lVhat _role does money play·in election results?
byRon Wirtz
Editor-i11-Ciziej
this situation and those like it
warrant a second look.
As a refresher on the election
to fill William Proxmire 's
senate seat in 1988, Herb Kohl
and Susan Engeleiter faced off.
This
election
pitted
a
businessman against an experienced state politician. Kohl
owned the Milwaukee Bucks,
among other things, and had
asset values of one quarter of a
billion dollars. ·
He spent money that no other
election had ever seen in the
state of Wisconsin. Most of this
money came out of his own
pocket. Which is good and bad.
He didn't do a lot of big-wig
lobbying for donations, but then
again he didn't have to. The
millions he spent on his campaign was pocket chance.
The past few big elections in
the state of Wisconsin have set
a disturbing trend. Both this
year's gubernatorial race and
the last U.S. Senate race filling
William Proxmire's _seat have
been fmancial David and
Goliath meetings.
Figures have recently come
out analyzing the ThompsonLoftus rae~. Not surprisingly,
Thompson's campaign is.outdoing Loftus' campaign. It's the
margin between the two that
causes a double-take.
Thompson has received more
large donations--$500 or morefrom both Illinois and the 53217
zip code o~ Milwaukee (upper)
north shore) than Loftus has for
the entire state of Wisconsin.
Executives
have

illegal or even unethical. But
So the question remains--just
when does a person's checkbook become more important
than his political platform or
past experience in getting
elected? .With huge campaign
budgets, and the current insistence on mud-slinging campaigns, elections today are
focusing away from important
issues that should be deciding
elections.
Ideally, elections equal issues, not zeroes at the end of a
checking account. . ·
How much doos money have
to ' do with swaying voters?
Hard to say definitely. One
thing it does is get the wealthier
candidate more-exposure. Kohl
ran more commercials than The
Clapper. Thompson was able to
get President Bush into Mil. waukee for a fundraiser which
raised more money in large
donations ($500 and up-$234,270) in one day than Loftus has raised in the same
fmancial area~-period.
This increased exposure is
especially iinportant for those
voters who are not up on the issues and candidate platforms.
Normally, they will vote for the
person with the best image.
Nowadays that's the person
with the least mud on him or her,
which is the person who has
more dirty money to throw on
the opposition.
Somewhere along the line,
campaign spending has to be
capped. Having these caps will
give each candidate equal opportunities for publicity. More
importantly, it will refocus attention on the election itself and
the prevalent issues of the day.
It is widely acknowledged
that Thompson should soundly
defeat Loftus regardless of campaign funding.
But both
candidates have run poor advertising campaigns. Thompson
seems much more superficial
than I originally perceived, and
Loftus continually comes off as
a weenie of sorts to me, kind of
a cross between Cliff Claven
and Charlie Brown.
But both candidates should
have equal fmancial opportunities to make weenies of
themselves.

Features Editor
It seems that ever since the
media has deemed the up-andcoming generation interesting
enough to write about we've
been buried in an onslaught of
negativity. If I hear one more
derogatory characterization I
am going to scream.
Immersed in apathy. Uneducated in history, math, geography -- you name it. Doesn't
care about the world around
them. Money lusting and selfish. The MTV generation. A
nonvoting population. Can't
compete with peers around the
globe. And on a recent "TIME"
magazine
cover,
"Twentysomething: laid back, late
blooming or lost?" STOP.
My self esteem can't take
anymore.
But before these
criticisms drive me to run off to
Calcutta and succeed Mother
Theresa, I'd like to offer a little
defense of my peers.
First of all I would like to
make it clear that the following
comments are not excusing
apathy or a lack of political
responsibility. Yes, it is important to be eware of the events
around us. (l he global village is
very real. BuLl don't believe
that every person must donate
their entire lives to saving the
world to make it a better place.
Instead of characterizing our
generation as apathetic. I would
like to instead offer what I feel
is a more appropriate term,
OVERWHELMED. Yes, we
are the overwhelmed genera-
tion.
We have been weened on tv
and its omnipresent issue saturation has negatively affected us.
I don't know if there have been
any official psychological
studies on the effects of mass
issue loading but I wonder if the
subjects wouldn't somehow be
characterized as apathetic and
uncaring.
I can remember when I first ·
became aware of the inherent instability of our planet. I was in
the fifth grade. Each week in
my social studies class we
watched a news program specially geared to our age group.
The segment which forever
erased my sense of security
focused on the proliferation of
the nuclear arms build-up and
the resulting threat of nuclear
annihilation.
I had nightmares for weeks ·
until my mother fmally asked
my teacher to explain that an
arms build-up did not necessarily signal the beginning of
Armageddon. Somehow hearing . these words from an
authority figure helped, but not
much.
From that point on I was very
aware of all of the calamities
and atrocities that life inflicted
around the globe. And I cared,
at least I tri~d to. But just when
I'd decided to send every allowance I would ever earn to
Ethiopia, a new and improved
crisis would catch my attention.
There were just so many to
choose from. It was almost as if
the entire world was going to
hell in a handbasket at once.
Should I devote my life to the
homeless or the AIDS crisis?
The environment? How about
South Africa? What about the
farm problem?
Illiteracy?

Dear Editor,
This is in regard to the letters .

According to Maher there are
several reasons why a person
may choose a vegetarian diet, of
'which she states environmen~,
health, hum.ane and econonuc
reasons.
Sexton's article was concemed with clearing up some
misleading facts presented by
Maher, such as certain agricultural practices and their relation
to the domestic use of livestock,
as well as a brief description of
the digestive tract of cows,
which can break down foods
containing cellulose.
If we were to examine the
digestive tract of another
animal, Homo sapien, we would
note some interesting facts. The
human intestinal tract is 10- 12
times the length of· the body,
which is true ofherbivores. Carnivores have an intestinal tract 3
times the length of the body,
which enables rapidly decaying
flesh to quickly pass through
the body. .
When
humans consume meat, .
the decaying flesh is retained for
a longer period of time, often
producing undesirable effects.
Carnivores also have the enzyme uricase to break down uric
acid, produced by meat consumption. Omnivoros also have
this enzyme, although humans
do not. There are many other
differences between carnivores ·
and humans suggesting that
humans are designed to pluck
fruit from a tree, not rip the guts
out of dead animals.

Sextori stated that oom grown

"soybeans are not as good a

people who prefer a vegetarian
diet who do not eat soybeans as
a staple food. There are such a

It's time to get involved
Dear Editor;
We need you. The Student
Government
Association
(SGA) needs students for
senator position openings.
These are very important campus -positions that need enthusiastic students who are
interested in developing their
leadership skills.
As a returning senator from
the College of Letters and
Science, I have benefited immensely from my experience in
SGA. Life on campus is more
than going to classes. There is a
great deal happening at UWSP.
My involvement as a senator has
allowed me to gain insight of the
university from the inside out,
and to see different perspectives.
Why should you be a senator? First of all, as a member
of student government, you
have a major role in determining
university policy. You will also
gain invaluable hands-on experience into . the political
process, an opportunity that will
definitely help in understanding
politics outside of the university.
Second, senators have the
responsibility to allocate student segregated fees ' that are
used to fund programming for
campus organizations and stu-
dent facilities, as well as for
many other aspects of university
life.
Finally, you will have many
opportunities to meet people, including stu~ents, staff and the
administration ofUWSP as well
1 as those of ·our sister universities.
Take the challenge! Get involved as a senator! Pick up an
· application from the Student
Government Association office
in the Campus Activ!ties Complex of the University Center.

Are our forests really dangerous?
by Steve Schmidt
Outdoors Editor
Remember the good old days
when the forest was a place
where you could plop your
weary body and get away from
the hectic turmoil of the outside
world? It was a place where you
cotild relax and blend in with the
surrounding tranquility.
Well, now it appears that
lurking behind the concealing
beauty and marvel of the woods
is an array of hidden dangers.
We've all heard about that
minute menace better known as
the bear tick. This tiny fellow
travels from one warm-blooded
mammal to another transmitting
an undesirable ailment called
Lyme'sDisease. Anddon'tfor. get about that nasty fungus
reported this past summer in the
Oconto Falls area. If I remember correctfy, itleft a couple outdoorsmen dead and many more
people ill with a bronchial infection.
But on a less serious note,
let's examine some . of the
everyday dangers reported by
sportspeople.
Every year, a handful of
hunters fall from their tree
stands. Consequently, they becomevictimsofarazorsharpar-
rowhead in the groin or a jaggeC:
tree stump in the buttocks.
Usually, these mishaps are not
the result of a mechanical malfunction in the stand itself, but
instead arise out of carelessness. ·
How many hunters actually
use that black nylon thing
(referred to as a safety belt) to
restrain themselves if they
should happen to fall?
It
couldn't be many. As a matter
of fact, I've yet to see a safety
device in use under normal
hunting conditions by anyone in
the ten years that I have been
hunting.
I Guess nobody plans on
falling asleep in their stand on a
warm autumn afternoon or

How about the old twig-inthe-eye routine? On more than
one occasion, a hunter caught up
in the passion of the deer hunt,
breaks through a nearby thicket
for a better shot only to be
jabbed in the eye by a tree
branch.
·
Thereupon, he stumbles
back to camp with a watering
eye that will not open. Most of
the time, the pain and suffering
is short lived. The hunter is
usually tromping back to the
woodlot in an hour or soif not to
at least pick up his eyeball dangling from the end of that damn
twig.
Then there are my all time
favorite dangers. You know,
the rare and unusual instances
whereby a wild game animal
suddenly goes loco and attacks
an unsuspecting hunter.
. .. I remember reading in an
1ssue -of Outdoor Life ·that a
hunter shot and knocked down a
huge whitetail.
As he
proceeded in its direction, the
buck which was thought to b<;_
dead, immediately jumped back
on its hooves and charged the
hunter with its enormous twelve
point rack of antlers. And of
course, if it wasn't for his trusty
~unting
companion,
who
repeatedly filled the fi:enzied
beast with lead, thb deer would
have certainly gored the hunter
to death. ·
What's even more surprising
is that the companion's gun
didn't happen to jam up during
the attack.
· Similarly, bears are notoriously dangerous. I've heard
tales where a single 400 pound
black bear wiped out an entire ·
pack of hounds leaving in its
midst a group pf mournful
hunters.
What are today's
woodlands coming to?
Maybe all this talk about
danger in the woods is for
publicity. Many people thrive
on the . macho image hunting
possesses.
For example, I read on a
bottle of rut lure . that the
manufacturer hel4 no responsibility for injury caused by a

use of conservation of fuels in
our daily habits.
Co11tributors
There are many easy'methods
of reducing personal energy
consumption. Using and supporting
alternatives
to
automobile use can not only
reduce C02 emission, but can
also save money. If one person
used 5 gallon s of gasoline
weekly, by changing to biking
or walking that person could
eliminate 100 pounds of C02
emissions, and save $6.85 every
week (assuming a price of
$1.37/gal.).
At home, by simply installing a low-flow shower head at a
cost of $5-10, it is possible to
eliminate as much as 300
-pounds of C02 yearly, and save
up to $20 on electric bills.
To help the public learn more
about he production of C02,
and how to reduce it, The Union
of Concerned Scientists (UCS)
is coordinating "The Billion

trillion · pounds of Carbon
Dioxide (C02) are emitted annually in the United States.
These, along with other greenhouse gases, are responsible for
polluting our air, degrading the
Earth's ozone layer and contributing to the global warming
"greenhouse effect.''
These emissions are not the
sole responsibility of giant industrial smokestacks. These
seve trillion pounds flow out of

America. In short, these pollutants come from you and me.
Energr. and other resource
use are a necessary part of any
lifestyle. Along with energy use
comes the unavoidable byproduct--pollution.
The U.S. currently fulfills
its energy need primarliy with
hydrocarbon (fossil) fuels such
as coal and · petroleum. Combustion of these fuels results in
the release of many gl,lses into
the-air.
Sever,al of these contribute
to various types of pollution
' problems such as acid rain and
global warming. C02 however
is the most important of the .greenhouse gases.
These greenhouse gases are
named for their ability to trap
heat in th~ Earth's atmosphere,
much as a greenhouse maintains
warm environment for plants.
This warming, known as the
"greenhouse effect" maintains
our life supporting atmosphere.
Scientists agree, however,
that levels of C02 and other heat
trapping gases are increasing to
unprecedented levels due to the
ever increasing use of fossil
fuels. Tl;ris increase in C02
.levels holds the potential to trap
more and more heat'i:il. the atmosphere causing an increase in
the Earth's overall temperature.
Global warming has been the
subject of much debate. There
is general agreement in the
scientific community that the
theory of the greenhouse effect
is valid. The debate. focuses on
whether global warming is actually escalating at this time,
and what the consequences may
be.
Many computer simulations have projected possible
·results such as a raising of sea
levels due to melting of polar ice
and spreading .of existing
deserts caused by increased annual temperatures and changes
in precipitation patterns.
In the midst of these projections, several underlying facts
are undisputed: atmospheric

During the visit, DNR officials visited industries, including a two-square-mile chemical

Halloween history explored ·
As a Native American activist, NoLand is anxious to call
a halt to the stereotyping of her
people which has been
prevalent since the colonial
period. As an educator, she
believes it is extremely important to inform children. about the
diversity and the humanity of
native people, rather than
depicting them as one- dimensional savages.
In many cases, NoLand says,
Native Americans are portrayed
as a homogenized group of cunning, subhuman creatures subject to ridicule.
When
youngsters
believe
the
stereotypes of "braves, squaws,
'and papooses," their views become distorted, their attitudes
become warped, and they grow
up to be become racist adults,
she believes.
No one dresses up as blacks
or in Jewish garb for Halloween;
it would not be acceptable to
most people to make fun of
blacks or Jews, but Indians con.:
tinue to be fair game.
Various forms of media, including films, television, books,
advertising and toys have perpetuated these false images, she
continues. For instance, NoLand calls the American legend
of Thanksgiving and its depic-
tion of harmony between tt.
pilgrims and the Indians, "most
likely a farce."
Portrayals of Indians in the
media have traditionally been
ethnocentrically and geographically inaccurate, NoLand continues. The stereotypes have
been pathetic at best and blatantly racist at worst, she contends·.
Many forms of communication such a films and television
have shown native males who '
are either violent savages or pitiful drunks. The women are
depicted as either "squaws"
(drudges or prostitutes) or
Cherokee princesses.
Some of the other items
which
demean
Native
Americans are toys depicting
Indian violence, greeting cards
or cartoons with animals
dressed as Indians, and groups
such as Indian guides and princesses.
Children and their
leaders wouldn't dress up and
meet once a week to pretend to
be blacks or Asians, but ,such
groups do mock Indians, No~
Land says.
.
" ...being Indian is not an occupation or a role," she adds.
Native people can be doctors or
lawyers or merchants, but heir

Jaycees to hold annual haunted house
celebration of All Saints Eve,'
better known as Halloween, is
the Jaycee's annual Haunted
House at the Centerpoint Mall.
Let the Jaycee's take you
back to the days when you could
be easily frightened.
Upon entering the dreary
Haunted House, you might meet
up with several unique and, interestingly
enough,
dead
characters. Monsters, gorillas,
zombies, snakes, lots of spiders,
a few rats, and an appearance by
a demented man with a chainsaw will be just a few of the
many "things" you may encounter on this journey into the
unknown.
The Haunted House will be
held from October 26~3.1. ,The
scheduled times for the event
are Oct. 26, 6 p.m.- ~0 p.m.; Oct.
27,
lla.m.-Sp.111.; Oct. 28,

How to celebrate Halloween
-' by Deanna Licari
Contributor
When I was young, Halloween meant dressing up in the
most unique costumes, getting
together with some close
friends, and venturing out to go
Trick-or-Treating.
When I think of Halloween
now, I think of midterms,
money foolishly spent on candy
to give away to people you don't
even know, and the approach of
a long and cold winter.
Has Halloween become strictly a children's holiday? It
~oesn't have to be. College stu-
dents can "be a kid again" and
learn to enjoy Halloween just
like they did when they were
young. All you have to do is follow these simple guidelines.
1. Buy a pumpkin. I don't
mean buy it and set it in the window as is. Actually carve a face
in it. And don't forget to buy a
candle to light it up at night.
2. Have a Halloween party.
Complete
with
costumes,
games, (eg. bobbing for apples),
and hot apple cider. ·
3. Go to a Haunted House.'
4. Go Trick-or-Treating.
Don't let this October 31 pass
by as just another day.

FASHION POINT
by Alphonsus Chung
Contributor
I have much to say about
jeans this week. First, they are
extremely essential in every college student's wardrobe. There
has never been a time when that
faithful, faded pair of old Levis
failed to solve. the daily trauma
of a student's (especially the
ladies) -"What shall I wear
today?:' syndrome.
. Yes, jeans have come a long
way since the period when they
were worn merely as work
clothes on "the ·western frontier.
Perhaps one of the most endearing qualities of jeans besides
their durability, is the fact that
they are the most versatile apparel item anyone could own.
As styles become more individualized and personal, jeans
will be used more frequently for
casual wear.
For the fairer sex, the options
"'it are unlimited judging from the
current pages of fashion periodicals and cataiogues. Don't
restrict jeans to just campus
wear. Be brave and creative
· when dressing with jeans by
pairing fbem with - an unexpected p~ of clothing like a
fonnal jacket in crushed velvet
or a blazer with satin trimmed
lapels.
If you possess the right
proportions, don't be afraid to
flaunt it by wearing an
embroidered bustier inside the
I
jacket with jeans. Other options
would include lacy can1isoles,
rayon or silk shirts (teamed with
long strands of pearls) and even ·
lycra stretch bodysuits (that is
currently in Vogue).
.Borrow a man's shirt and
pair off with tweed of plaid jackets for that preppy look. Mix the
shirt with the suede of a brocade
vest and you will be ready for a
casual date or a night around
town.
The k~y word _for ladies this
fall is accessorizing and it does
wonders to change, update, or
create a 'look' when wearing
jeans. With jeans, the belt becomes the focus so try wearing
one with interesting textures
(like fake snakeskin) with
chunky gold or silver buckles or
jewel encrusted ones that are
fairly reasonable.
For men, fall heralds in the
return of sportswear with the
hooded sweatshirt being all rage
with the designers. An interesting combination would be a
hooded sweatshirt in a grayish
tone teamed with a moss green
bomber jacket (a current style
for fall) and black stonewashed
jeans.
For dressier options, try pairing corduroy jeans in muted
tones with shirts, and black
tailo~ed jackets with bright,
floral printed ties (besides the
usual bolero ones).
A
monotoned mock- turtleneck
and jacket teamed with blue
-
jeans ·could very well make an
impact at even semi-formal
party or a night at the theater.
A fmal word of advice when
wearing jeans for d~ssier occasions: Do not wear overly
ripped/tattered jeans as it looks
terribly tacky (save it for the
classroom instead). Invest in
jeans that fit the physique well
(tapered and straightcuts are the
best bets).
Choose denim · colors like
stonewash blue and black as the
bleached types are definitely not
suitable for the look suggested
in this article.
·
group, places are set aside for
this. On the fourth floor of the
LRC, are special rooms where
groups may study. These rooms
can also be reserved for studying during exam times. In the
University Center, on the
second floor, there is also a
study area set aside for students
who work well in groups.
Moreover students are always
welcome to fmd a classroom in
one of the academic buildings
and work as a group.
Additionally, certain departments may offer assistance as
well as a place to study. In
math, geography, or English, for
example, you can go to get
specific help with a subject or
ask questions that will help you
with further studying.
As you can see, there are
mll!ly places set aside on campus for a student to study. You
may not be able to study as well
as you'd hoped,. but you should
be able to fmd an area that best
fits your needs.

tory farm to certainly be

You may be wondering that if
we are not biologically or environmentally equipped to eat
meat, then why do Americans
consume meat on such a large
scale ? Could it be slick advertising campaigns ·? Or is it the
fact that 70% of the beef industry is controlled by four
families, with significant political clout. In fact enough clout to
convince the USDA to spend
millions of tax dollars promoting meat concumption through
s~tiSi~
publications ·and school lunch

I hope that people can make .
up their own minds about what
they put in their bodies, with the
decision based on facts rather
than allowing someone 'else to
convince people to purchase
and consume a meat product
based on advertisements which
contain little or no truth about

Oh, and if the "facts" don't

· Hunters and other outdoor
enthusiasts are reminded to con-tinue taking tick-bite precautions throughout the fall to
guard against contracting Lyme
.disease, advises Sarah Hurley,
Department of Natural Resources wildlife health spec~afist.
"All life stages of the tick can
· over-wiriter under leaf litter and
tree back," said Hurley.
"However, they become active
whenever temperatures are
above 40 degrees or so."
Both deer and -wood ticks are
found in Wisconsin. Deer ticks
(also known as bear ticks) may
transmit a bacteria that can
· cause Lyme disease. Animals
and people can become infected
with Lyme 1disease through a
tick bite if the tick is imbedded
in . the skin for more. than 48
hours.
I
"It's very important to check
for ticks right away after you've
, been out in the woods or tall
· grass, and to remove them as
soon as you fmd them," Hurley
said.
"Using a fme-tipped
tweezers to !grasp the tick, pull
the tick straight out and then kill
-I
it."
Lyme disease symptoms can
bet:ome progressively worse the
longer the disease goes untreated. Within the frrst several
~fter
infection,
weeks
. symptoms may include chills,
nausea, headai::~e, fever and in
70 percent af the cases, an expanding red rash that can reach
20 inches in diameter.
As the disease progresses it
can cause d1lffiage to the heart,
joints and the central nervous
system. Lyme disease may be
treated with 1antibiotics.
No matter what the season,
the best 11recautions against
Lyme dise~e include:
*Using ~tick repellant or insecticide containing permethrin
orDEET;
*Checkirtg yourself and your
pets for ticks · every few hours
while in the woods or tall grass;
*Tucking pant legs into boots
and wearing a long-sleeved shirt
buttoned at re cuff.
According to Hurley, hunters
would be wise to practice added
precautionslbecause they come.
in direct contact with animals
that may be tick infested.
"Because ticks are looking
for a living organism, they may
crawl from ~ead game onto the.
hunter if they haven't begun to
feed yet, " she added.
HuntersJwho are concerned about Lyme disease transmission can wear impermeable
gloves when cleaning game to
avoid contact with Lyme-infected animal blood. Although
rare,
Hw;ley rtoted
that
laboratory studies have shown
that Lyme disease bacteria can
pass through broken skin.
'
However, the bacteria can't
survive in cooked meat.
"The Lyme disease~causing
bacteria are heat sensitive and
will be killed when cooking or
smoking the meat," Hurley
said.

How about the Green Bay

Can you imagine
10,000 people out on the ice off
Dyckesville one weekend in
February of 1989, catching al'most 50,000 poundS' of perch?
This was no accident.
A well-planned quota system
cutting back the ·commercial
harvest made it possible. Fishing is so good, ourmanagers feel
a lower bag limit is necessary to
keep it that way. I think we have
to do whatever it takes to keep
user pressure in balance with the
level of resources available.
· These two examples are
highlights, of course, but they

Women's soccer team repeats state champio~ship
by Kris _Kasinski
Sports Writer
The UWSP women's soccer team
defended ,its state championship over the
· weekend by defeating Marquette University 2-1 on Sunday in Beloit.
The Pointers opened the weekend with
a 5-0 victory over Ripon College on Saturday and later in the day they shut out
Lawrence University of ApPleton 6-0 in
the semifmals.
This weekend sweep improved their
overall record to 10-4-2 and keeps them in
the running for post-season play.
'The state tournament is always a test
of team depth, strength and endurance,"
said head coach Sheila Miech. "Playing
three games in a weekend is a challenge."
"All of our 21 players got considerable
playing time prior to the fmal game which
helped keep us strong for the championship. We won with team unity, desire and
effort."
In the victory over Ripon, Krista Soto
led the way with two goals. Lindauer and
Jenny Bradley also added one goal each.
Lindauer was credited with two assists
and Kim Luenenberg had one. The
Pointers had 35 shots on goal while Ripon
failed to get a shot on goal.
/
In the victory over: Lawrence~ Suzi Lindauer scored two goals to lead the way,
. while Diana Huebschen, Lynn Olson,
Aimee Jerman and Bradley each added
one. Assists ·were credited to Lisa Mor-
tensen, Huebschen, Luenenberg, Lindauer and Bradley.
Point had 21 shots on goal while
Lawerence was held to five. Lisa Morten,; sen and Jill Golla combined in goal for
four saves.
In the title game against the Marquette
warriors, Kim Luenenberg and Jenny
Bradley scored the UWSP goals. Bradley,
Olson and Lindauer made assists.
The Pointers took a first half 2-0 lead
and never looked back. They totaled 25
shots on goal and held Marquette to just
11. Lisa Mortensen recorded 11 saves in
. goal.
Forward Suzi Lindauer and midfielder
Jenny Bradley were selected to the all
·tournament team.
"Anytime you can get a variety of
players to score and make assists, your
depth is a catalyst for winning," Miech
said. "I am extremely proud of this team's
ability to look at their weaknesses early in
the season and work hard for improvement."
·
"Our defensive unit gave up just one
goal all weekend. Our strong midfield
controlled the tempo of the game and our
forwards consistently alked the goal."
The Pointers took on St. Mary's of
Minnesota yesterday arid will play their
last regular season ho~e game Saturday
against UW-Green Bay. Game time is
1
2:00.
Football team falls to WSUC
WHITEWATER--The
. UWSP Football Team ran into
the top ranked team in the West
Region of NCAA Division· ill
last Saturday afternoon and
ended up with a 27-7loss at the
hand of UW- Whitewater here.
The loss, which dropped the
Pointers to 4-3 overall and 2-3 in
the Wisconsin State University
Conference, eliminated the
Pointers from the race for the
WSUC Title and a berth in postseason '()lay.
Whitewater
remained :undefeated and in sole
position of the WSUC lead with
a 5-0 conference record, (7 -0
overall).
Pointer coach John Miech
said that Whitewater was the
toughest competition his team
has had all season.
"Whitewater was the best
team we have played so far this
year," said MieclL 'The situation was that we ran into a good
football team.
"Our defense was out on the
field for three quarters of the
game. The score would have
been different if the offense had
been out on the field giving the
defense a rest:"
Whitewater had possession of
the ball for 42:18, compared to
only 17:42 for the Pointers.

Pointers was the_performance of
STRIKING OUT
by Timothy A. Bishop
Sports Editor
. Okay folks, how many of you out there really
thought that the Cincinnati Reds could possible
beat Oakland in the World Series? I don't mean
sweep, I just mean win four games.
Well, the Reds did exactly that, and stunned the
sports world in the process by totally dominating
every game and making the defending World
Champion A's look totally sick.
And bOy, have the A's had problems accepting
the severe whipping they received. Within
minutes of the end of game four, the Oakland
players were already whining ; and coming up with
excuses about the lo ;es.
The Oakland players' wives even got into the
· act, calling A's coach Tony LaRussa names for just
freshman quarterback Roger
Hauri, who passed for 181 yards,
completing 11 of the 21 passes
he attempted.
Miech said that Hauri has the
potential to be a very good
quarterback.
·
"Hauri is improving every
week he plays," said Miech. "He
has shown that he can be an outstanding quarterback in this
lead~r
league if he is given the time to
develop."
Whitewater started out strong
in the game despite going into a
strong 30 mph wind.
The Warhawks took the opening kickoff and drove 64 yards
on 12 plays before settling with
a 31-yard field goal by former

four.
But all the credit in the World has to go out to
the Cip.cinnati players. They over came injurues
and doubts to take everything away from the A's
in a manner in which no one can say was cheap or
undeserved.
,
The only person missing from the Reds'
celebration was outfielder Eric Davis, who tore a
kidney fielding a ball in Game ·Four and was in intensive care in an Oakland Hospital. The rest of
the team, however, made sure that Davis' contributions were not forgotten as they addressed the
crowd and had his jersey draped over thepodium.
CBS Sports may also be in intensive care after
the short four-game series. CBS had been hoping
for a longer series to help recover revenue lost due
to the recent economic slowdown. However, with
