She is an only child who likes to take part in theatre and music, and enjoys reading and keeping up on national fmancial news. High school was a busy time for Moe outside of academics. She was a leader in the Milwaukee area Peer Mediation Program which focused on conflict resolution among the students, eliminating the need for ·administrative involvement. Moe also acted as a direct liason to the Superintendent of Schools for approximately 30,000 Milwaukee area students, and was involved with the Milwaukee Inter-High School Council where she actively participated in representation of 16 schools to the School Board and administration. These diverse and unique experiences led to similar areas of focus in Moe's college career.

Soquet is working on a double major--education and history, and a minor in political science: Although Soquet doesn't have a long history of political involvement, his active interest in UWSP students and their concerns is realistic and sincere. He says that, "Believing students need a clear voice to communicate their concerns," is what has motivated him to run for SGA President. "I believe I can be that voice, not only to the campus and administrators, but the community as well." Continued on page 8 Student Government Senator for the College of Natural Resources, Chris Grassl, got involved with SGA last Fall, but has a long history of involvement with other university organizations. Also a native of Green Bay, Grassl welcomed his only sister to UWSP this year. High school years meant a little bit of everything for this 22 year old "first year senior." Grassl's list of accomplishments include class treasurer, Inter-city Student Council Leader (dealt with city/community issues), FFA national representative, and FFA Vice President for one year. In addition, Grassl lettered in varsity tennis, forensics and academics.

A group of close to thirty UWSP students spent their spring break outdoors, like many of the rest of us may have, but for a very different reason. They were on the 11th annual Eagle Walk. The walk takes place over 9 days during spring break each year and covers about 200 miles, from Stevens Point to the Eagle Valley Nature Preserve in Glen Haven, WI. This event is sponsored by the Environmental Council and was coordinated this year by Jennifer Paust. Anyone was welcome to participate, regardless of past experience, and weekend long practice walks were arranged to help participants get into shape and break in their hiking boots. · Cindy Buyers, who completed her 7th Eagle Walk this year, helped §tart the event in 1982 along with B.J. Welling. Welling was a freshman at the time and had tried similar walks in high school. Tim Gelhaus;·who completed his 2nd walk. this year, stated that, "It's a group thing to sponsor environmental· awareness, and it's a challenge." The students involved have what they consider to be a very important goal. Each participant needs to raise $200. in donations. This year, $4109 went to the biologist at Eagle Valley doing research on bald eagles. Five thousand dollars went to the Wisconsin chapter Nature Conservancy. This $5000 amount was then matched by the state of Wisconsin. This year's walk went from Stevens Point, through Wisconsin Rapids, Monroe Center, New Lisbqn, Hillsboro, Richland Center, Blue River, Woodman, and Bloomington, to Eagle Valley. Students started walking about 8 am, eating noon meals in cafes along the way and usually reaching that evening's destination around suppertime. They stayed in churches, schools, and town halls. All necessities for the weeklong trek were carried each day in a back pack, which usually weighs about 20 pounds. A support vehicle, driven by a hopeful walker who contracted pneumonia beforehand, carried food and water, which was an added bonus this year. Anyone interested in participating in next year's Eagle Walk should contact the Environmental Council. The opening of Belts tells us warmer weather is near.

(photo by AI Crouch) I S·a flok installe·a ·in Thomson Hall by Pamela Kersten Contributor A new electronic door lock system called "Saflok" was installed in Thomson Hall over spring break changing each resident's room from key locks to a type of ·~credit card" lock. Thomson Hall was the only hall to receive the new locks and is being used as the "guinea pig" of the University. If the locks work well and don't present any major problems, the system will eventually be incorporated with the rest of the residence halls. "I think that they are a waste of money," Brian Love, a resident of Thomson Hall stated. Many other residents shared his view. Jeff Scanlan, also a resident of Thomson said, "I question whether our money was spent efficiently. Combination locks could have been a cheaper solution." The cost to replace locks for Thomson Hall, the computer · system, staff training, labor, and a supply of 5000 cards added up to $95,551. This cost also includes the replacement of locks on the outside doors of the other residence halls. The estimated cost to incorporate the other residence halls with the system will be $35,000 per hall. Randy Alexander, Director of University Housi?g stated, "The system isn't that much more expensive -(than other options). The higher level qf security and decreased cost down the road will balance out that amount. Right now we have to change all of the outside door locks over each break so that students can't get in. This gets quite expensive. With this new system, all we have to do is reprogram the computer." The system will not cause a raise in housing eosts. UWSP raised housing costs for the fall semester of 1992, 1.27%, the lowest in the state. Saflok will be paid for over a period of time using bonds that will run for a minimum of 20 years. One advantage of Saflok is increased security. The "cards" when lost can simply be deprogrammed, therefore making them unuseable. This will cut down onl unauthorized people getting into the residence halls and hopefully cut down on thefts. UWSP is the groundbreaker of the Saflok system in the UW system; "Many other Universities have talked about it, but we are the first· ones to implement it in Wisconsin," stated Alexander. j 1 ' ,· .· ' ...

I must have been on a roll that week or something;because the next night I was also in the building late, but didn't have my bike. I'd received campus security escorts in the past, and "I would like my campus security following actual harm doers. " I was issued a warning which required me to get a license and a light for my bike. According to the officer, I was also riding against traffic.

However, when I called, the student and officer on duty at the time informed. me that campus security doesn't do off campus escorts. "That's ridiculous," I replied, "I've gotten them before." No, reminded the student. If you want an escort home, you have to live on campus. Oh, that's right; first I have to pay $1200 per semester for two years. Then I'm allowed to move off campus, but since I'm not paying through the nose to live in the residence halls, I no longer· have the right to safe transport home. What a system. I am well aware that university and local law enforcement are not related in any way, nor are they in a conspiracy to create irrational rules. I would never suggest such a thing. All I know is that if and when I'm forced to walk home in the dark, I would like to know that my campus security and local law enforcement officers are following actual harm doers; ensuring my safety rather than spending precious tax payer money and potentially lifesaving minutes on piddley, insignificant offenses. thing Jiving.

This legislation would be a very big step in the direction of positive environmental changes. Assembly Bill313 has already passed the Assembly -and Senate. It provides for a professional staff member to coordinate potential business and company support for Environmental Education programs. A recent survey of Wisconsin manufacturers and commerce mebers identified nearly300 'businesses interested in supporting Environmental Education by providing funding, internships for teachers, and supporting educational programs. The bill will change the state supported environmental education matching grants program from an annual .to a continuous apporopriation. Knowing that funds are available for only one year at a time prevents programmers from addressing irilportant long term goals for fear that funding may be cut at the end of the year. The bill also includes a position on the Environmental Education Board of a newly appointed member who will represent non-formal education centers such as museums, zoos and nature preserves. This bill is now in the hands of Governor Tommy Thompson who vetoed a similar bill last year. It's' important that if you're in favor ofthese changes, you act quickly. · Please write the Governor asking him to sign Assembly Bill 313, or call the toll -free hotline (1-800'-362-9472) that will allow you to leave a message for the Governor. This bill is an essential and beneficial step in the overall goal of improving Wisconsin's environmental education programs. Wisconsin has been the national leader in environmental education. By enacting Assembly Bill313, we can maintain our leadership position. Dear Editor: I would like to thank the UWSP basketball team for a , memorable Spring Break. It was so exciting to watch one of our many outstanding teams compete in a national tournament. · I was in awe at the number of Pointer fans who traveled· to Kansas City to support our players. There were over 300 of us, the largest group representing a University there, who were s~tting in the stands anxiously waiting for our team to appear on the court. As they emerged from the locker room, Kemper Arena was filled with our boisterous voices cheering them on as we were swept up in all the excitement. Even in ihe second round, after our unfortunate loss, there was still a sense of pride for each and every player who played his best all year to get us to this NAIA tournament. If tears were Seen, they were falling only out of the sadness of a great season coming to an end.

Employee speaks out against Nelson Renovation Dear Editor: I feel the need, as a concerned employee and taxpayer, to coQ.lment on the proposed renovation of Nelson Hall in the coming 1993-95 budget. I've been a university employee for ten years and have seen what I believe were numerous examples of waste when it came to remodeling projects on this campus; but the proposed project for Nelson Hall will surpass all of those projects. Greg Diemer states, "It would make more sense to renovate thanteardown." Whoishekidding! 3.2 million dollars is more than enough to tear down Nelson, haul away the demolished material and erect a modem, efficient replacement stru~ture. The current structure has numerous liabilities: inadequate heating, ventilation and cooling, poor handicap access, no loading dock facilities, poor storage, and general deterioration of the exterior. Window sills and frames show evidence of rot, mortar is breaking down on areas of the exterior walls, floors are not level, walls are not square or true. Plumbing is archaic, wiring meets codes, . but does not provide service for modem applications. RECYCLE ME!!! In previous remodeling projects (which have already cost thousands of dollars) attempts have been made to upgrade the facility to today's needs, but the structure remains an inadequate fire hazard (there are areas of double .walls and ceilings which can conduct fire · undetected). A modem facility would fit into the present neighborhood. It would incorporate energy saving systems and be a better use of floor space. It would be efficient to service and maintain. I am absolutely convinced that a modem three-story building with a basement would have more useable space than the present four- story structure. Who cares about historical sentimentality when 3.2 million dollars of taxpayer money is at stake? It simply makes no sense. There is clearly a need for office space on this campus.

The Pointers did fmd some success in winning their first game of the tournament over the Western State Colorado Moun- taineers countered Boario' s trey with one of his own to close within one.

UWSP foiled any last second hopes for the Mountaineers as Boario stole a Fendry pass with :9.6. He was fouled and made both free throws to advance the Pointers to the next night against Erskine. Senior Jon Julius led all scores with 16 points, Boario had 15 and Jack Lothian had 13 for the Pointers. Along with his 13 points, ·. Lothian had 9 rebounds and five blocked shots. Freier had a · game-high 11 boards. "Jack Lothian did a great job inside. We saw early that we needed to get bini the ball and he did the things we need him to do," said Parker.

Erskine's turn around to a lack Mter a Western State timeout of offense for the Pointers. "Our Boario was fouled but missed defense wasn't all that bad but our offense was out of sync." their poor offensive performance was reflected in their 39.1% field goal percentage (25-64), including only 6-21 from three-point range (28.6%). The Pointers mounted a comeback in the fmal five minutes which saw them tie the score at 64 with a 1:35 left on a Lothian baseline jumper from Boario. The Flying Fleet's Joey Rice put them up 66-64 with 1:00 remaining. A Pointer timeout was called with :7.8 to come up with a fmal play. "I wanted Boario to take the ball to the rack. I was hoping he would get fouled and ·1 wanted to put the ball in my best free throw 'shooter's hands. When Boario got the ball Erskine sagged in the lane after our guys cleared it for him. He had no opportunity to go in. Instead, he fell back and took a shot that wasn't very good." Parker believed that the Pointers not being able to capitalize late in the fust half on an opportunity to build their lead into double figures was a key factor in the game. "There were times in the game when we made frantic plays. We should've had a 15 to 20 point lead at the end of the first · half, but we made ill-advised plays which kept our lead at only five." We just didn't drop the guillotine on them," Parker added. The Flying Fleet, down 37-32 at halftime, scored the first eight points of the second half to take a 40-37 lead. "Erskine is a good basketball team. They were better than anybody we played all year long. They are a tremendously quick team," said Mike Harrison (File Photo) Parker. UWSP came back to lead by three (45-42) on a Lothian dunk, · but saw their last lead of the season disappear when Eric Wesley drove for a layup with 8:56 remaining to put the Flying Fleet up 50-49.

Kunze's motivations for running for Student Government President stem from past experience with the organization and dissatisfaction with the sys.t~m. "I've been involved with the association for three years," says Kunze. "I know the issues that concern students and I'm more than ready to take on the challenge of representing them on those issues." Kunze says he originally got involved with Student Government because he was "upset about the things that were going on in the organization." According to Kunze, SGA has changed quite a bit over the past few years. "SGA has changed from an impersonal organization to a personal one that pays attention to what the students want instead of telling them what's best for them." It is these · particular organizational upgrades that Kunze hopes to continue upon his potential victory. Soquet from page 1 Soquet is a firm believer in stronger vocalization of student issues and concerns, and hopes to "lead the charge on the Student Bill of Rig_hts." of a dry campus." He says this . experience showed him, "what students can do when they put their minds toit." Throughout his college career leadership positions--wing rep" . resentative, hall representative, and RHA facilitator of the Hall Presidents Council, Grassl has created a strong positive opinion of action. "I used to . think 'I'm just one student, I can't change things' but the anti-dry campus strategy proved to me that students do have power. I've been representing them ever since." Walsh from page 1 though he likes to hunt bear and coyote, also. Characteristically, Walsh's academic goals are related to the work he loves so much. He is a junior majoring in urban forestry with a resource management minor. Walsh doesn't think his lack of Student Government experience (he has never held a position there) is a reflection of his actual level of student involvement. As Baldwin Hall President for three and a half semesters, Walsh says he liked that he was given opportunities to change policies in order to help people. He tells a story of a Baldwin resident who lost an 18-page paper on. a computer in the residence hall lab because the. computers were shut off for closing. "The next day we implemented a policy that kept the labs open 24 hours a day." . Walsh, who says he is, "basically tired of paying more and getting less," claims--his reasons for running for office are different than those of most candidates'. "My motivations aren't really political, and the experience really won't help me in my tree service career. Mostly, I look forward to dealing with and helping the students." Most of Walsh's friends don't think he's quite the type to run for political office. Walsh says that perhaps in filling the "most influencial role on campus in the way of helping students," he hopes to "break the mold." FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN A PAYCHECK.

The other key came late in the second periOd when the Pointers were whistled for coincidental penalties. The Pointers had just scored on Paul Caufield's powerplay goal, but got whistled for coincidental penalties at the 9:54 mark. Plattsburgh could not look past the two man advantage and capitalized at the 15:31 mark, putting the Plattsburgh lead back at three goals at 4-1. The five ·on three powerplay goal came with just 19 seconds remaining in the penalties and could have been a huge boost of energy for the Pointers, but instead it added fuel to the fire of the Cardinals. "That was a huge point in the game, if we could have killed off those two penalties, it would have been a whole new game. It would have been a real shot in the arm for us," said Baldarotta. Plattsburgh increased their lead to 5-1 on Larry Zinger's shorthanded goal at 7: 11, but the Pointers were not about to relinquish the title without a fight. Sean Marsan picked up his second goal of the weekend after a beautiful effort from junior defenseman Grant McDonald. McDonald, steamrolled through a few defenders and kicked the puck back to Marsan. Marsan beat Plattsburgh goaltender Mike Mondello to make the score 5~2 with 11 minutes left. Things got even closer on Scott Krueger's shorthanded goal with 5:23 remaining, giving the Pointer faithful on hand a ray of hope.

Paul Caufield and Todd Chin ended their stellar. careers .with Caufield holding every career scoring mark, and Chin owning every goaltending mark at UWSP. Also seeing their last games were captain Scott Krueger, and Monte Conrad, they have been leaders throughout their careers. Last but not least, Pointer head coach Joe Baldarotta closed out his first season at the helm of the Pointers. There are those who may say that because the Pointers didn't bring home the title it can't be thought of as a great season. Those thoughts are truely incorrect. "We had a better record than 26, 1992 last year, and did everything we had to do to reach the fmals. We left Stevens Point for Plattsburgh as winners and came back as winners. Everyone from the players to the coaches and managers, and anyone who helped us out made this a fabulous experience. Without everyones help, we couldn't have had the year we did," said Baldarotta.

Pointer Page 10 • Thursday, March 26, 1992 feat~ Danstage highlights campus talent students/faculty to display fancy footwork A piece dedicated to the "enormous influence which African music and dance rhythms have had on american culture" will open the annual Dancestage production, at 8 p.m., Friday, April3. The program, choreographed by faculty and performed by students, will continue at the same time on April 4 and 9-11, at 7 p.m., Sunday, april 5 -in the Jenkins Theatre of Fine Arts and Communication box office, (715) 346-4100. Choreographed by Susan Gingrasso of the dance faculty, the opening number is conceived and created by Gingrasso, a specialist in liturgical dance, and Steven P. Senski, a local musician and 1986 UWSP theatre arts graduate. Gingrasso says the piece evolved from a desire to bring Afro- American spirituals, tap and modern dance to the stage in a single work. It features vocalist Karen Horwitz, seven .--- tap dancers and four modern dancers. Second on the program is "Tight Squeeze," a humorous duet choreographed by Gael Stepanek to music by Richard Milner, with costumes by Madeleine Higgins of the theatre arts faculty. Originally created in 1978, the piece "keeps an ongoing rhythmic and locomotor continuum." The inspiration for Joan Karlen's "Mars: The Bringer of War and Venus: The Bringer of Peace," came from Gustav Holt's symphony "The Planets." During the rehearsal of the first movement, Sergeant Peter Liunoras of military science and two cadets, taught military drills to the 10-member cast. The motions were altered and incorporated into the choreography. The second movement features Laura LeGault, a firstgrader at St. Joseph's School, as "the young Venus, whose presence restores peace to the community." - The set is designed by Gary Olsen of theatre arts and the costumes are by Huggins. The last half of the concert includes another work by Stepanek and two by James Moore. Stepanek's "Persona," set to music by Pittsburgh composer David Stock, was created within the Music and Dance Project at the American Dance Festival, Durham, N.C., in the dance exsummer of 1980. plores "the illusion of merging shapes and extended time durations." The costumes are by Martha Yoshida. Nine dancers will help choreographer Moore salute Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini on the event of his 200th birthday. Born on Feb. 29, 1792, Rossini would actually have experienced his 50th celebration this year. In honor of the joke played on the composer by both life and death, Moore has created a comic abstract work set to the . . overture from "The Italian Woman in Algiers." The dance recreates a situation whereby a choreographer has made some extensive changes in a piece just before curtain time. The finale is Moore's adaption of Jerome Robbins' "N.Y. Export Opus Jazz," performed by the full company. The piece, . originally choreographed for Gian Carlo MenoUi's "Festival of Two Worlds" in Spoleto, Italy, was set to music composed by Robert Prince. A direct result of Robbins' work on "West Side Story," it depicts the antiestablishment feelings of the youths of the fifties. -- - he Pointer Poll: What characteristics are you look g for in the next SGA president?

However, my inspiration for teaching stems from my high school biology instructor. I respected her and wanted to do have career as a teacher." Although Thomas' father thought it was a waste of money to send girls to college, she convinced him that she was serious about a teaching career. Although she never did teach high school biology, Thomas worked in a lab at a community college. The experienetj convinced her that she "didn't want to be stuck in a lab" and she went on to receive her master's degree from UWSP in water resource management. ,#.fter working for CNR Dean Trainer for . several years, Thomas then CNR faculty are excellent, and in the past it's been a privilege to even be nominated. The most important thing we do here is teach and it is a honor to be recognized for this." Thomas isn't one to rest on her laurels. Her work on several campus, community, and national committees keeps her involved in raising people's awareness about the environment. She is currently planning two workshops entitled "Becoming an Outdoors Woman" which are to be held next fall. Christine Thomas decided to pursue her doctorate from UW- Madison specializing in resource policy and law. Her father's initial investment appears to have paid off, Thomas is the recipient of the 1992 Outstanding Faculty Award in the College of Natural Resources. In addition to teaching several classes, she also advises the college's environmental communication minor, and serves as the coordinator for the water resource . management discipline. "The award means a lot to me because students were the voters," said Thomas. "All the "The most important thing we do here is teach and it is an honor to be recognized for this.

Unseasonably mild winters over the past several years have maximized reproduction in the state's whitetail deer herd. Ishmael said this has produced record numbers of deer. workers able to plan leave-time for either the first or second week: "Weather will not be as much of a limiting factor in achieving harvest goals with a 16-day season," Ishmael said. "Bad weather, like in 1991, during a short season can and will lower the harvest of the deer herd, which does not allow us to reach our antlerless harvest quota." Hunting seasons are designed to manage the state's deer herd as well as provide hunting and other deer-related recreation. Although in some parts of the state the deer herd population is within goals, in others (mostly in the northern counties) the herd is 20 percent or more over population goals. "One of the most obvious benefits is that a 16-day hunting season will give hunters more opportunity to hunt," said Ishmael. "It doesn't mean each hunter will have to hunt longer, or hunt the entire season--they certainly can if they want to. But it will give flexibility in allowing more hunters time to get out to hunt. "Other states have found that hunter pressure tends to spread out with a longer season, decreasing the daily pressure and improving the quality of the hunt," he said~ Gun huntilig harvests have averaged 347,000 dear in each of the past two seasons and new harvest records have been set it the last three consecutive years. Ishmael noted that under ideal conditions, whitetails are very prolific and without harvest can double their numbers every two years. · "Another benefit of a longer season is to improve hunter/ landowner relations by decreasing the demand for hunting space in a short period of time," Ishmael added. The department is proposing a 16-day gun deer season with the traditional opening day on the weekend before Thanksgiving to start ,i n 1992. In addition, the department is proposing a 16day season with the season opening in mid-November for the 1993 gun deer season. The tradition of having the Thanksgiving week within the season will be kept with each of the 16~day season formats proposed. A 16-dayhuntfonitat will add another weekend for hunters to be in the field. Students would potentially be able to hunt eight days (including the _traditional Thanksgjving Thursday and Friday school closing) without having to miss school during the week. Work schedules would also potentially be disrupted less under a 16-day format, with Ishmael said that within the parameters of social acceptance of deer numbers, harvests are designed to prevent habitat destruction and maintain the long-term health of the deer , herd. Whitetail deer habitats, like populations, are dynamic. Given the explosive nature of deer numbers, their populations can be greatly reduced by starvation during just one severe winter. The damage caused to the habitat is a much longerlived problem. A habitat stripped by famished whitetails can take years to recover. "In a 16-day season with an earlier November opening, bow hunters would lose three season days over an eight-year period," Ishmael said. "A 16-day season with the traditional opening on the weekend prior to Thanksgiving would give bow hunters only a two-day conflict on the opening weekend of their late season." With a 16-day season opening a week earlier than the traditional weekend before Thanksgiving, bow hunters would be allowed to hunt through the Thursday prior to the opening of. the gun season. At present, the bow hunting season ends on the Sunday before the gun season starts. With the growing whitetail deer herd, necessary high harvests are being compressed with a nine-day season framework. If deer harvesting goals are not met, deer could potentially starve during a severe winter or delicate habitat might be depleted through over-browsing. The quality of the hunt is also diminished by large numbers of hunters competing for limited h,unting territory in many parts of the state. "Several management needs and hunting-quality concerns can be answered w~th a 16-day hunting season format,"· Ishmael concluded. Handicapped anglers need not miss out on the action of the upcoming walleye run. A fishing pier completed late last summer now provides wheel-cflair access to a hot-spot below the DuBay dam. The pier is fully railed and is located ori the HWY 10 side of the dam.(photo by Buck Jennings) UWSP 1 considered , for EPA Env.

"Students were the impetus for this," he says of his reasons for developing the specialized offering in the UWSP Department of English. A growing number of English majors have, in recent years, requested him to oversee independent study in the outdoor writing field. His proteges in prose represent a vast diversity of thought about the out-of-doors. Half of the approximately 20-member class is concerned foremost with environmental matters, he explains. The others are more traditional in their love of hunting and fishing. To his surprise, however, there have been some lively class discussions from time to time between pro and anti hunting and fishing factions. "I want the class to focus on good writing and not debate," Behm emphasizes. He calls on his students to read and write extensively. . In liis lectures, there are discussions on how to put flair into nature writing through effective use of descriptive language. Because much technical jargon creeps into the communication mode of environmental protection and management, Behm leads his students in a project of translation of language for the popular audience. Writing is approached from different perspectives. Class members are encouraged to test out-of-doors products and make comparisons, then write about their findings. Another exercise is to make a stab at using humor in outdoor writing. Short story writing also is pursued. In the latter, Behm has broad experience. His articles have_ been published in Sports Illustrated, Sports Afield, Field & Stream, Gray's Sporting Journal, Wisconsin Sportsman, Wis. consin Trails, Minnesota Sportsman, and Sporting Classics. His fictionalized article, "Images of Autumns Past," appears in the current Petersen's 1992 Annual Hunting. The January/February edition of Sporting Classics includes a fantasy piece, "A Trout for the King," in which Behm reveals: "There was no doubt. Here I was at Lulu's Bun, Bait, and Deli, staring right into the blue eyes of ol' Elvis himself. And not only was he alive and well, he was ftxin' to go fly fishing." Behm says he thinks there is a defmite place for fiction in outdoor writing. He also contends that much more could be done in this field based on a writer's personal research, as opposed to constant reliance on personal experiences. "The Me and Joe stories are, by and large, dead," the professor argues. Behm, the outdoor philosopher, tells his students that w}Jen they write for others, they should consider that many people "go into the wilderness but do not become a part of it." Continuedfrompage 14 of cuts and then to 10 in the next round of eliminations. Finalists, besides UWSP, are Purdue, Ohio State, and the Universities of Michigan, Maryland, California at Davis, Tennessee and Kansas, plus the National Geographic Society and the Alliance for Environmental Education, both in Washington, D.C. Wilke said he believes UWSP' s proposal will go far because of its own longstanding involvement in conservation/environmental education, the reputation of its faculty, and its proposed consortium to operate the program. UWSP would draw on expertise and serviees of Rutgers University in New Jersey ; the National Wildlife Federation, largest citizen conservation group in the world with four million-plus members; Southern Illinois University in Carbondale; Northern Illinois University in De Kalb; National A~sociation of Conservation Districts, with staff in 3,000 counties in states across the United States; Project Wild and Project Learning Tree; The RECYCLE ME!!! 4~ »+ . . t> CANOES BIKES SAILBOARD RECYCLE ME!!!

Uncle Sam would provide $1.7 million toward the project annually, but in-kind contributions from the institutions in the consortium would push the value of the grant to $2.5 million. Faculty of whichever institution wins the program will host teachers from all parts of the United States on their campus for periodic programs and workshops. Groups. from the center also will be taking offerings on the road, and educational materials will be developed and evaluated.

The next day, police investigators found a scene that they could describe only as "grisly, yet strangely hilarious." w ~ EPA ME!!! Next comes a question: "How do we become in tune with certain kinds of harmonies and rhythms of life that are found · there?" He also points out a paradox. While a growing number of people express a desire to be in the wilderness, many are terrified by it. For them, reading about the out-of-doors mav be satisfying their curiosity, he speculates. Behm sees opportunities for outdoors writers in the growing number of outdoor topics --in bookstore inventories. The successes of some of his former students are additional indicators. Two young alumni who have gone far in this field are Chris Dorsey from DeForest, Illinios and Dan Dietrich from Red Wing, Mirmesota. Dorsey is now serving as feature editor of the Los Angeles-based Petersen's Hunting while Dietrich is editing North American Hunter in Minneapolis. A special project Behm has for each of his students this semester is identifying outdoor magazines, closely examining the kinds of articles they publish, then comp()sing the kinds of pieces they use . Meanwhile, the professor, who tries to set time aside for writing each morning, doesn't limit his own work to out-ofdoor topics. He's also interested in poetry and fiction, and some pedagogical articles about writing. In 1990, he won the annual award given by the National Writing Centers Association.
