"UWSP is desigated as the
Center of Excellence in Writing," said Richard Behm,
former director of the Academic
Achievement Center. "It's the
only cain pus given the designation in the UW- System, .. and
it's given by the Board of
Regents."
Behm now teaches full time in
the English Department. He
said he left AAC because he
"missed teaching." But it is also
true that the year he left, his
position as
director was cut
down to halftime.
The purpose of the Center of
Excellence in Writing wa.s "to
provide more funding" to the
writing programs, Behm said.
Every year he was with AAC,
about $1,000 was cut from the
budget, and he could not do
what he wanted to do--innovate
programs.

"Legislature decided not to
provide special funding" for the
(;enter ofExcellence in Writing,
said Vice Chancellor Howard
Thoyre.
This year, closing down of
AAC has been rumored and
many students have been asked
to sign a petition in support of
the various programs AAC offers.
"No final decision has been
made," said Thoyre. He said
every UW-campus is facing the
same problem. "Each campus
has to identify those services
which can be reduced or
eliminated," be said. "I'd like
to think it's very unlikely," said
Behm in response to the rumor.
"A lot of people are really upset
about it," said JuliePostier,a copresident of{Jniversity Writers,
a support group for the writers
of the AAC. Also a tutor for the
Writing Lab, Postier said there
are many people that count on
the tutoring. "They wouldn't be
doing well without us," she said.
"It is a rumor," said Alice
Randlett, acting Director of
AAC. "But it is a serious possibility."

UWSP Art professor near dismissal
Robert Erickson's retainment pending decision
by Denae Augustyniak
Contributor
Professor Robert Erickson is
the current Printmaking Professor at the University. Next year,
however, he will probably not
be returning. Many of the students within the Art department
are questioning the grounds for
not retainip.g him.
Like all non-tenured faculty,
Professor Erickson has been
evaluated by a group of his peers
each of the two years that he has
been teaching at UWSP.
In both cases, his peer advisors
recommended that he not be
retained as a professor. Even
during his first semester here,
when most professors are given
time to get acclamated to their
respective departments, his peer
advisors questioned his
· abilities.
Last year, the recommendation to not retain Professor
Erickson went as far as the
Dean, who overrode the recommendation. This year, the Dean
supported Erickson's dismissal,
and the issue is now being dealt
with by the Vice Chancellor.
teaching ideas and the ability to
generate creativity within the
classroom.
Because of his dedication to
the students, they in tum are
showing support for his retention.
Approximately thirty students
wrote letters to the Dean, expressing their concern and
"The Day Without Bob ... agreeing to dress
in black and wear an "X" as an indication of
the great loss ... "
Many of the students within
the Art department disagree
with this recommendation.
They believe that Professor
Erickson is an energetic Professor and an established, productive artist with excellent
citing personal examples for
why Erickson should be
retained.
In addition, approximately 20
and 30 students, respectively,
gathered in support of Professor
Erickson at the two sessions of
STAFF
open personnel committee
-meetings which he had requested in order to have the opportunity of reevaluation.
On a split decision by the four
members of the committee, his
request was denied.
In response to this, many of the
Art students have declared
today, December 12, 1991, The
Day Without Bob. In the planning stages of this day, I
received nearly 100% support
among the student body; with
people agreeing to dress in black
and wear an "X" as an indication
of the great loss the Art department would experience by the
dismissal of Professor Erickson.
Just as the students believed
that The Day Without Art on
December 1 was important to
promote AIDS awareness, they
believe that this day is of equal
importance--to offer their support of Professor Erickson.

Student supports Erickson's retainment
by Jane Meyer .

What is going on in the Art
department at this University?
As I walk through the Fine Arts
building, there is a tension in the
-air, somewhat different than the
usual hustle and bustle near
finals week. I People are confused. Why is
it that once stUdents and other
faculty members get accustomed to a professor, he or she
must leave?
Is there some problem with the
hiring procedure? Or is it that
no faculty member can live up
to the set standards once he or
she is hired?
Being an Art major, I have
seen these problems arise
before, but never has it affected
me as much as recently.
Professor Robert Erickson
was evaluated by the personnel
committee this fall, and with a
two to two vote of tenured faculty and a recommendation from
the chairperson, it was decided
that he would not be retained for
a third year.
I strongly disagree with their
decision, as do a number of
other art students and faculty. I
have been a student of Robert
Erickson's for three semesters.
I h~ve taken four classes of his
and I know from experience
how he conducts his classes.
In my opinion, Robert Erickson is doing an outstanding job.
In class, Mr. Erickson carefully explains all procedures and
guidelines to projects. He
directs all of his attention to
each student, and motivates
them to search within themselves and draw out and express in
their art work what they see or
feel.
He is also constantly encouraging students to push their
work to the fullest;to revise and
edit their first ideas in order to
produce the most complete _and
thought out work.
Out of class he is still found in
the studio, available to talk to
students or faculty. I believe ·
Mr. Erickson realizes that in his
job, his priniary duty is to teach,
and his main concern is his students, which makes him an extremely dedicated professor.
Mr. Erickson is also very active in the "art science" in our
area. This fall he had an exhibition in the Agnes Jones Gallery
on campus. Two semesters ago,
he took his printrp.aking classes
to Chicago to see the print
library in the Art Institute.
Mr. Erickson made many

lustrations appear in published
works.
Many other students have also
benefited from his teaching, and
it can be said that the department
as a whole has gained from his
involvement in it.
Why is it then that such an obviously outstanding professor is
being dismissed? And why
aren't students being heard?
It seems there is a problem in
the process. I feel faculty
evaluation procedures should be
questioned, and those who are in
disagreement should make it
known.

Similar diversity
ideals bridge
generation gap
Dear Editor:
Thanks for your feeling-evoking and thought-provoking
editorial -in the December 5
issue of The Pointer. I appreciate your wish to "claim
responsibility for a generation
that lives gender and racial equity, equal pay for equal work, and
respect for fellow human
beings."
It seeiJls very much like what I
hoped for as a college student in
the late 60's.
But wait, that must be my
generation you were referring
to-~ the one that was taught
when they were vulnerable
children to believe. white males
are "the basis for all comparisons." And that was me a
moment ago reminiscing about
when I was your age.
My how quickly time flies
when you get immersed in the
day to day work that must be
done in order to make a difference in the world. Now
you've reminded me that two
decades have passed since I was
a young idealist graduating
from college, and we don't really seem to have come very far
toward arriving at a society that
values diversity.
I'm saddened to have to acknowledge that I agree with you
on that. But what concerns me
more is your acceptance of the
notion that you and I and the
countless others who care about
fairness and equitable treatment
for all have no right to expect
anything more of the people in
my generation who after all are
only reflecting what they were
taught. I differ with you on that.
Interior Plantscape program
recipient of vandalism
-
The Interior Plantscape
program maintains the plants
throughout the Centers. This is
a service designed to create a
relaxing environment that is inviting to students, employees,
and visitors.
Dear Editor:
As a concerned student as well
as an Interior Plantscape
employee !"am writing in regard
to the vandalism of interior
plants in the University and
Debot Center areas.
I believe people of any age
can, do, and will learn and
change when they experience
personal consequences or discomfort from the status quo.
Some of us in my generation
are likely to be around for a long
time yet, and I hope I'm one of
them. There will be those who
grow old and wise enough to become statesmen (or woman),
and they will be listened to.
I hope they will share your
values and mine. It's unlikely to
tum out that way without the
help of your generation. In fact,
I believe it's entirely possible
that twenty years from now you
could feel saddened by reading
in the newspaper that your
generation has failed in the same
way mine seems to be doing.
That is scary to me, and I hope
it won't happen.
Right now, my generation
needs your help. Please don't
give up on us. The status quo
will only cHange when it doesn't
work well any more for people
who are currently getting what
they want from keeping things
the way they are.
Who are the beneficiaries?
Can you help some of them be
uncomfortable enough to see
there are greater advantages to
inclusiveness? Those of us who
want things to be different now
or ever can't wait for it to happen.
Challenge authority--please.
Various studies have proven
that plants in an interior setting
tend to increase productivity
and cleanse the air of smoke and
pollution.
The Interior Plantscape
· program supplies healthy plants
to create an inviting atmosphere. It is a low cost program
created for the students and
others to promote an aesthetically pleasing environment.
Unfortunately, vandalism has
taken place among this
program. This includes stealing, dumping trash into planters,
and mutilation of plants and
pots. This semester, as well as
in the past, there have been
plants stolen in various areas of
the University Center, and
recently at Debot.
Pride needs to be taken in our
school and in the property that
goes along with it. If you see
anyone vandalizing university
property, aslc the individual to
stop their behavior, or call
Protective Services at 3463456.
'
Plants are installed to break up
the monotonous, barren look of
various areas in the Centers. It
is my hope that students,
employees, and visitors of the
University take pride in and
respect University property. As
individuals, we can work to
make this a place we can be
proud of.

in Art department
out of hand
Dear Editor:
A lot of questions have been
raised about the reasons behind
events happening in the Fine
Arts Department in last week's
Pointer. This is a good thing.
There has been an extremely high level of tension in the
Fine Arts Dept. for a number of
semesters and it is overflowing
at present time.
A "power from above" seems
to hover over us as students and
over the majority of nontenured faculty. Many staff
members have been ushered in
and out of the department very
quickly with tiny faults being
magnified to extremes.
A loss of free thought is
occurring due to a violent clash
between traditional thinking,
pots. It is not uncommofi to
have plants pulled out of their
pots, and leaves ripped off and
thrown on the fl90r.

Six years ago, when I first attended the University at Stevens
Point, I was new to the concept
of ice fishing. I had never even
thought of going out onto a
· frozen lake, drilling a hole,
dropping a line into the water
and hoping that a fish would
swim by and bite my hook. Well

I still consider the concept of

It is definitely a sport for the

There will be a DNR hearing
at city hall council chambers on
Wednesday, December 18, at
· 10:00 A.M. Topic: Pulp and
paper industry's request for
changes to TOXIC Air Rule to
allow more time to meet compliance date of April1, 1994 on
BACT (Best Available Control
Technology) applied to
chloroform emissions.
In this season, when we are
concerned with acquiring gifts
for children and loved ones, one
of the greatest gifts we can give
is to let the DNR know we want
strict compliance with the
TOXIC Air Rule and, if anything, stricter rules. Come to
the hearing with your children,
elderly, cancer victims, or
whomever. Say, "Protect them,
that's what you are here for."
According to Greenpeace,
"Highly yolatile chloroform,
which is a suspected human carcinogen and is known to cause
liver disease, is of particular
concern, to pulp workers and
regulatory agencies. U.S.
studies indicate ,that .66 lbs. of
chloroform are released with
every t i of pulp bleached.
This me s that an averagesized kr ft mill releases between 96 to 660 lbs. of
chloroform every day."
According to Right to Know
information reported by the
paper mills and available from
theDNR:.
CPI Kraft, GP Nekoosa and GP
Port Edwards released in stack

128,000 lbs. of chloroform in

CPI Kraft released 160,000 lbs.
of chloroform in 1990. In those
3 years, the same industries
hauled 167,200 lbs. of
chloroform to off-site locations.
GP statistics for 1990 were not
available when this information
was compiled.
These chloroform releases are
a result of chlorine-bleaching,
which Greenpeace feels should
be replaced by oxygen- bleaching as has been done in Europe
at the public's request.
All airboume material has a

On November 18,1991,, the
program reached beyond WPS'
expectations when it collected
its 10,000th appliance in the
first five months. It was
projected to collect 15,000 appliances annually, so the
response has been great. The collection of these 10,000
appliances will save about 8.5
million pounds of coal which
would have been burned, and 17
million pounds of carbon

released into the atmosphere.
Savings like these cannot be

When we think of recycling,
most of us think about putting
paper of aluminum cans in their.
proper receptacle. There are,
however, many ·more facets to
recycling, and more items that
are being recycled.
On July 1, 1991, Wisconsin
Public Service began a new
program of recycling, The Wisconsin Public Service Appliance Recycling Program.
This new docket of recycling offers people the chance to get rid
of old inefficient appliances at
no charge so that they can be
reused, this will, in tum, save
money and energy.

New old tavern
to open downtoWn
by Dennis Trecek
Contributor
The old Bulter's bar located on
Second Street; downtown between Buffy's and the Point
Oriental Foodstore will once
again open it's doors to the
public. "The new establishment
will be called The Brickhaus
Tavern," said Ken Butterfield,
new owner of the building.
"I was planning for a December 1st opening but I think it's
realistic to say Friday, December 13th," said Butterfield. The
building, which is 87 years old,
is currently undergoing major
renovations.
Butterfield explained that he is
planning to restore the bar to
reflect the era in which the
building was erected. "We're
going to have antique lights,
It was hard for me to handle

teakwood floors, and an authentic imported German header
(tap) made of brass and porcelain."
The building, built in 1904,
was first purchased by Butterfield in 1974, one year after he
graduated from UWSP. He
owned and operated the bar
· known as Butter's until 1981
when he sold it.
During the next seven years . .
Butterfield ran restaurants
in Denver, Colorado, St.
Thomas, Virgin Islands, and
Costa Rica. He moved back to
Stevens Point when an
earthquake in Costa Rica
destroyed his business.
For the last three years the bar
has been closed. However, with
all of the renovations, Butterfield is confident that in the future the bar will be a fun and
exciting place to visit
your concerns to my attention.
Although I do appreciate you
writing your letter, I do not
agree with all of your points. I
have never heard of, nor do I
know of anywhere in this
country, where there exists a
"non-white" supremacy.
Even in areas where "nonwhites" are in the majority they .
are not in control. ,
John, quotas are illegal, I do
not support them . I do,
however, support the practice of
giving the less fortunate or those
who have to work a little harder
a break and a helping hand in
making something better for
themselves and their families.
The point you made about history was a relevant one. If you
felt that in school you were
taught self-hate and guilt, I
sympathize with you, my recollections are similar.
History is not in favor of "nonwhites," history is in the favor of
those in cOntrol. The Persian
GulfWar is a perfect example of
. this.
When asked about war in
general, more than 66% of midwestern children ~J,ge 3-11
referred to "people dying."
However, when asked about the
Persian Gulf War specifically,
only 21% mentioned death.
. Only one year after its occurrence the story is being
brightened up so as to make
those in control look a little better.
Times, once again, are changing John. We cannot separate .

Student witnesses Germany's
reuni'f ication process first hand
by Katrina Tolan
Contributor
The leaves have fallen off the
trees and there's a nip in the air.
You're walking to class and
yelling at yourself for not wearing your gloves, but you're already at the Deutsches Museum
and it's too late to turn back.
Magdeburg itself is a rather
historical spot, home of Otto
von Guericki, the scientist who
discovered the existence of a
vacuum. History is in the
making, right now as its residents try to cope with the chaos
the fall of the wall has brought.
Speaking of the Wall. .. Berlin

"GRADUATION SPECIALS"
The only place, outside the
Alps, that so many Lederhosen
can be seen is at Oktoberfest.
This world famous fest was
taking place the frrst week our

and it's no wonder! The place
is like Great America, but with

"History is in the making, right now as Berliners try to cope with the
chaos the fall ofthe wall has brought."
We spent the month of September in Magdeburg East Germany.
Our group studied
German two hours a day at the
technical university. We also
received
lectures
on
Madgeburg's social and political structure.
The group had tours of a Magdeburg newspaper plant, factory, high school and the
mayor's office. We also made
day trips to Wittenberg and saw
where Luther posted his 95
Theses, and to Potsdam where
Truman, Atley and Stalin held
their well-know post WWII
conference.
On the positive, side East Germans now have freedom of
speech, press and travel. On the
negative side much unemployment and hostility toward foreigners (especially those who
do have jobs in Germany) has
resulted in the "East." It's no
picnic for the "West" either,
suddenly all these "new comers"
want dibs on jobs, transportation, and facilities.
Our group is in the "West"
now, in Munich. This city is extraordinary because of its cultural and scenic qualities.
Munich is only an hour drive
from the Alps. Here people
.
spend their free time hiking and
using "mountain" bikes for their
original purpose. Many people,
older men especially, are clad in
the traditional Bavarian Lederhosen.
Oktoberfest ended the first
week of October, but one could

Madrigal celebrates holiday season merrily
performers' entertainment captures the Christmas spirit
by Christopher Schultz
Contributor
UWSP students, faculty, administrators and community
members joined Queen
Elizabeth I in celebrating the
Christmas season last week at
the 22nd Madrigal Dinner.
Sponsored .b y the Fine Arts
Department, the dinner was held
Dec. 5 through 8. Serving as
performance coordinator,
Professor Thomas Nevins
revised the written script.
Faculty member Steven Davis
was the musical director,and the
event's choreography coordinated by Susan Gingrasso of
the dance department.
Greeted by a beggar at the door
of the University Center's
Program Banquet room, guests
were welcomed to pre-dinnercocktails. Once the performance
began, the music did set participants back in time to the
Elizabethan time period.
The guests stood as the trumpets blared a fanfare of tribute
for the arrival of Queen
Elizabeth I and her consort, the
Earl of Leicester, Robert Dudley. Queen Elizabeth then welcomed guests and offered her
appreciation of the dinner and
entertainment.
Dinner was served as the choir
sang the "Boar's Head
Carol." For dinner, guests en. joyed a fine cut of prime rib,
potatoes, and vegetable~ along

beverages and plum pudding
with rum sauce for dessert.
To conclude the show, the
choir performed classic
Christmas carols, such as "Deck
the Halls," "Good King Wenceslas," and "We Wish You A
Merry Christmas." Dancers,
jugglers and jokers also contributed to the merry entertain-
ment
with
sparkling
performances.
One audience member, Warren
Schultz has attended the
Madrigal Dinner for the past
two years.
"I enjoyed the old time
Christmases more so than the
present day ones," said Scht,ltz.
"The food is good and there is
great entertainment or I
wouldn't travellOO miles to see
it."
This was my first year attending the madrigal dinner, but
defmitely not my last. It was a
very remarkable show and an
excellent way to dive into the
holiday season.

Pointer Profile Santa
arrives in Stevens Point!
-

by Julie Apker
Features Editor
A large white-haired elf in a
red suit made a surprise guest
appearance on campus Mon.,
Dec. 9 in the University Center
Concourse.
Santa Claus took time out from
the toy-making activity up at the
North Pole to make his UWSP
list, check it twice and find out
who was naughty and who was
nice at UWSP.
During his visit, the jolly old
elf graciously, helped the Association for Community Tasks
(ACT) in thier "Photos with
Santa" fundraiser.
For a small fee, students got
their picture with St. Nick, and
the opportunity to request
Christmas wishes from the gift
giving source. The money
raised from Santa's efforts will
support ACT's community and
campus volunteer projects for
the rest of the year.
. According to Kris Kringle,
who bears a striking
resemblence to UWSP Chancellor Keith Sanders, ACT's activities are a great example of
the Christmas spirit.
"I heard about all the good
work ACT does here at UWSP
and I wanted to help out," said
. Claus. "This UWSP organization is outstanding among all the
campuses in the nation. we've
even heard up North about the
Noble Prize-winning scientist to speak at graduation
K. Kringle
numerous awards they have
received."
The UWSP chapter of ACT
has been recognized for many
honors, including the 1990-91
"UWSP Organization of the
Year Award." In addition, the
group was given a special recognition from the National Student
Campaign Against Hunger and
Homelessness for their "Hunger
Cleanup" efforts.
According to ACT members
Tammi Wormet and Denise
Grabko, the organization is involved in tnany types of holiday
volunteer activities. ACT sponsored events include Steiner
Hall Christmas caroling, "Toys
for Tots," and the Pray-Sims
"Giving Tree." Next semester,
ACT will be coordinating a
celebrity bowl-a-thon for
Stevens Point's chapter of Big
Brothers/Big Sisters.
Between personal appearances and supervising his
workshopt Kringle' s hectic
schedule prevemed him from
staying long. However, during
his short visit, students gave him
an earful of Christmas wishes.
"The North Pole is very busy
this time of year, but I'll be sure
to relay all the requests I heard
today back to the elves," commented St. Nick. "Some
wishes, such as new cars, will be
easier to grant than others. For
example, the Democratic party
wants a viable presidential candidate and the Republicans want
David Duke out of national
politics. Those requests ·may
take some work."
Although Rudolph the RedNose Reindeer has had a bad
· cold recently, Claus assures
eager gift getters that all is well
for the late night flight on Dec.
24th.
When asked what he wished to
receive on the big day, Father
Christmas explained that he follows ACT's philosophy of
giving gifts rather than getting
them. However, he does have
one request of UWSP students.
"I would like to see students
get their best GPA ever at
UWSP, by studying harder than
in the past."

The Blugolds power play goals
were the first of five on the
night. "We knew that they had
one of the best power play's in
the country and in no way could
we afford to put them on the
power plliy, but we took way too
many dumb penalties and they
really lit us up," said Pointer
coach Joe Baldarotta.
The Pointers opened the scoring in the second period on
Drew Fletemeyers first career

Blugolds added two more goals.
Jeff Marshall scored despite
being shorthanded at the 18:17
mark of the second period cutting the score to 4-3 Blugolds.
Monte Conrad continued the
Pointer momentum as he tied
the score at four just 28 seconds
into the third period and the
Pointers regained the lead 11

Pointer hero of the day as he
beat Blugold Goaltender Mike
McKersie with a slap shot to tie
the score at six with only 1:57
remaining.
Both teams had their chances
in the extra period but neither

With the benching of l'rettor
and Marshall, the Pointers had
to make some changes in their
offensive scheme.
"We had to sit a couple of our
top guys and that hurt us. But I
have a lot of faith in our depth,
· and I thought that we played our
· most disciplined game of the
year," said Baldarotta.
The Blugolds scored the first
two goals of the game with tallies by Chris Theising in the first
period and Alex Hicks in the
second.
The Pointers however, were
able to tie the Score at two with
goals in a five minute span by
Marc Strapon.
· The Blugolds took the lead for
good on a controversial powerplay goal by Jeff Schemberger
early in the third period. Pointer
Goalie Todd Chin, who totaled
17 saves on the night appeared
to have made the save when he
gloved Schemberger's shot out
of mid air, but the referee ruled
that the puck had already
crossed the goal line.
"That's a real tough call to
make, and I just think that you
have to be real sure when
making a call like that," said
Baldarotta.
Todd Dvorak increased the
lead to 4-2 when he beat Chin
off a rebound at the 8:47 mark
of the final period.
Frank Cirone picked up a
power play goal two minutes
after the Dvorak goal but Mark
Richter ended the Pointers
comeback hopes with just four
seconds left in regulation,
giving the Blugolds the 5-3 victory and their fir~t win over the
Pointers sincerthe 1987-88
season.

"We got a couple of bad bounces and breaks go against us,"
said Baldarotta. "I'm not upset
with this loss at all, we can't afford to keep hurting ourselves
with penalties, ~o we had to send
a message to everybody on this
team."
The loss puts the Pointer overall record at 7-2-2, and 5-1-2 in
theNCHA.
,
This weekend the Pointers face
another tough test as they travel
to Superior to face the Yellowjackets of UW Superior for the
top spot in the NCHA and
WSUC as the Yellow Jackets sit
just two points behind the
Pointers in the NCHA standings.
"This weekend is going to be a
real tough test for us, we are battling to stay atop the NCHA, and
Superior is a good team that always gives us fits on their home
ice," stated Baldarotta.

Sta~ Trek, VI worth
''Trekker s'' wait ·
by Dan Seeger
Contributer
What is it about Star Trek that
fascinates us? How, has this
simple science fiction television
program managed to become
such a popular'icon to so many
people? The world is filled with
Trekkers (Trekkies is now considered a. derogatory term) who
can instantly quote lines from .
the television series, the books
and the ftlms as if they were
reciting their home addresses.
And when exactly did that appeal become so pervasive that
everi us nonbelievers, forever
''The jinal voyage of
the Starship
Enterprise is a
pleasant ride. ,
trapped on the outside of the
fantastic realm of Vulcans and
Tribbles, get a certain thrill from
seeing the original cast decked
out in their striking Federation
uniforms?
That rush of anticipation and
comfort of familiarity is exactly
what makes the latest and reportedly final voyage of the original
crew of the Starship Enterprise
such , a pleasant ride. STAR
TREK VI: THE UNDIS-
COVERED COUNTRY is full
of plot holes and inconsistencies
that somehow don't matter
when you know that you're
being guided by the strong and
steady-hand of old friend Captain James T. Kirk (played by
William Shatner, of course).
The plot, created by Leonard
Nimoy (eternally Mr. Spock) is
a thinly veiled reflection of the
current state of global affairs.
The Klingon empire is suffering
from a terrible accident at one of
their power-producing sites that
bears more than a passing
resemblance to the devastating
Chemobyl disaster endured by
the Soviet Union several years
ago. When the ailing Klingons
propose peace' with the same
tone as the ones currently
sounding out a new era in
Soviet-U.S. relations.
The Enterprise is sent on a
diplomatic mission to rendezvous with Klingon dignitaries
(juicily played by David Warner
and Christopher Plummer).
The meeting between the divergent groups is noticeably
strained, but the real trouble
doesn't begin until the
Enterprise apparently fires upon
the Klingon vessel: an act of

Trekkers
UWSP Alumni explore Third World adventures
from page 15
war during a struggle for peace.
The crew has to determine
who's really trying to trip up the
steps toward universal peace as
Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy
(ancient DeForest Kelly) are
brought up on murder charges
before a Klingon court.
Rather than an overwought,
soul-searching fmale, director
and cowriter Nicholas Meyer
(who was also a creative force
behind the two most satisfying
ftlm offerings, parts II and IV)
thankfully opts for what
amounts to an agreeable if not
particularly stunning concluding chapter that would have fit
in perfectly as an episode during
the original run of the series.
Star Trek VI doesn't try to
fmish things up with a shocking
conclusion, but there's a
defmite sense of closure to the
release. Spock has a painting in
his cabin intended to remind
him that all things must end,
Kirk rambles on about the uncertain future (the "undiscovered country "of the film's
title) and it's made clear that the
Federation is about to put this
crew into retirement to make
room for the next generation of
space travelers.
STAR TREK VI is the way we
should say good-bye to these
characters that we~ve known for
25 years: not with profound
proclamations, but with one
final, high-spirited jaunt across
the stars.
A young Wisconsin couple
who spent last Thanksgiving
Day swimming in Africa's Lake
Tanganyika escaped the fate of
the Russian ambassador's wife-she was eaten by a crocodile.
Robert and Suzette DesArmo
Rosenberger, UWSP alumni
who are former Peace Corps
volunteers, have returned to the
state after two and one-half
years in Burundi, a small but
heavily populated country in
East Central Africa. About the
size of Maryland and bordered
by the 12,000-square-mile lake,
Burundi is located between
Tanzania and Zaire. It's
population now numbers close
to six million with a density of
about 1,000 people per square
mile.
The Rosenbergers' stint in
Africa turned out more positively than that of the Russians, who
made the mistake of swimming
at sundown, when the
crocodiles come out to feed.
However, even though the
Americans' experience did not
end tragically, their introduction
to the Third World .did prove to
be an eye-opener.
The couple's assignment was
to rural area about four hours
away from the capital city of
Bujumbura. Suzette stayed
within a 12-to- 15 mile radius of
the village, going out with an interpreter every morning to work
with the farmers.
Robert and Suzette Rosenberger return enlighted
from thier Peace Corps tour in the Third World.
Since all of the farmers were
men who weren't used to having
women tell them how to do anything, it took Suzette some time
to earn their confidence and
respect; Every day, Bob would
have to ride a motorcycle up to .
50 miles one way t<> reach his
work site. · Combined, the
couple estimated they helped to
establish about 60 fish ponds
during their African adventure.
Rosenbergers say there are
about 30 volunteers stationed in
Burundi and six of them are
UWSP graduates.
One of their Peace
leagues is the source pf one of
their favorite stories. The
-American injured his back and
was in considerable pain, so a
witch doctor was called in to
threat him. The treatment consisted of beating the patient's
back with a live chicken, then
killing the chicken, cooking it,
and doctor and patient eating it.
The back pain went away and
never came back.
Every day is the same in
Burundi-twelve hours of light
and twelve hours of darkness.
The
' residence
had
often
went to bed around 8 p.m. They
say , one of their biggest
problems was boredom because
of a lack of recreational activities. For enjoyment, they
often went for walks or read
books they had brought along
over, and over, and over, as long
as the light lasted ..
But when asked if it was a positive experience, two sets of eyes
light up with fires of evangelism. Suzette believes
everyone in America should
take a turn serving in the Peace
Corps, and Bob speaks of the
reward of helping hundreds of
people live better lives. They
also recall, almost with
reverence, the bonding that
takes place among Americans
who live and work ~hrn::~rl_
They bOth believe that living in
a Third World country has made
them better appreciate the
"ease" oflife in America. But it
also has caused them to see "the
waste and the excesses" which
proliferate in this country.
Before returning to the States,
the Rosenbergers spent a month
in Norway. They say that most
of the Peace Corps workers
choose to travel upon "close of
service," and many will join up
for another two-year stint.
When the couple is asked if
they would do it again, two
voices chime together, loud and
clear, "definitely."
