More sexual assault cas8~·med
Pamela Kersten
News Editor
Through the investigation of
two alleged sexual assaults
committed recently in Thomson
Hall, two additional reports of
fourth degree sexual assault
were filed by different victims.
The two victims filed reports
last week against the same male
accused in the previous incidents, according to Don Burling, director of protective
services.
"The (recent) victims are both
residents of Thomson Hall and
freshman this year," Burling
stated.
This follows the pattern of the
previous assaults that also involved freshman residents of
Thomson.
The latest assaults did not
occur in the residence hall according to Burling, but did
occur on campus.
Alcohol was involved in each
of the four total cases.
Investigation by protective
services concluded Friday and
was turned over to student conduct for a hearing which will
give the accused a chance to
defend himself.
According to Kris Hoffenberger, student conduct officer,
the "cases have been resolved."
No other information on the
conclusion of the cases will be
released now or in the future in
compliance with student conduct policy.

Panel discussions held at UWSP
Students ask questions on campus
by Kevin A. Thays
and Pamela Kersten
ofT/ze Pointer
This week on campus two
panel discussions took place to
debate issues involving upcoming elections as well as campus
concerns.
On Monday a panel including
Chancellor Keith Sanders,
Mayor Scott Schultz, John
Lepinski (representing Feingold), and John Lopez (representing Vannes), addressed
many student oriented issues.
The quality of teachers in the
university system was attacked
by Lopez.
"We need to improve the
quality of teachers. The only
way to do this is to increase their
pay (while testing them to make
sure they are competent)," he
said.
Sanders explained the situation between different universities regarding actual time
faculty spends in the classroom.
He indicated that it depends on
the kind of university when it
comes down to what size class
load professors will carry.
According to Sanders,
Madison is primarily a research
school. He implied that faculty
can't be expected to put in as
much classroom time there (as
on other campuses) when they
conduct more research.
He further explained that
UWSP professors carried the
highest classroom load in the
UWsystem.
Lepinski addressed not only
con~,llf'ns
higher education, but secondary
education as well.
"There is a lot at the K-12
grade level that needs to be done
to improve teaching. This is an
additional approach to the same
type of situation," he explained.
Student concerns were also
addressed in the second debate
held Wednesday between Congressman Dave Obey and Dale
Vannes.
Vannes explained that in 1990
large amounts of money from
raised taxes was supposed to go
to education.
"Where did that money go?
Somewhere it gets lost. I
believe that more money should
go to education, but only if it
goes directly to students," he
said.
Obey claims that he has been
fighting to increase student aid.
"We need to go to greater grants
for students," he explained.
The debate heated up when
Vannes accused Obey of misus-

Politics: Final debate
Michele Amberson
Political Writer
The last of three presidential
debates ended last week in East
Lansing,
Michigan. ·
Throughout the debates
Americans were able to get a
better grasp of where the candidates stood on the issues,
however, there was no clear victor.
During the debate, President
,Bush continuously attacked
Governor Clinton's recored in
Arkansas and his economic
proposals. Bush also confronted what he sees as
Clinton's long- term habit of attempting to have it both ways on
a variety of issues.
Responding to Bush's allegations, Clinton and Perot painted
a disturbing portrait of Bush's
handling of events in Iraq prior
to the Persian Gulf War.
Bush instructed Americans to
watch their wallets because he
says that Clinton's ftgures just
don't add up for economic
reform.
Clinton suggested that he and
Ross Perot talked about the issues while George Bush continued personal attack that
voters have been complaining
about.
In the ftnal debate Bush struggled because he was not only
under scrutiny from Clinton, but
also from Ross Perot.
The two candidates blamed
Bush for costing the nation almost indefmitely with incidents
. including Panama and the
Savings and Loan scandal.
For Ross Perot the debates offered an opportunity for him to
shake his label as a "quitter," the
title that was given to him after
inititally pulling out of the
presidential race in July.
Perot referred to his detailed
economic recovery plan frequently during the debates in
order to heighten his image in
the eyes of skeptical voters. The
plan includes a controversial
ftfty-cent gasoline tax.
Early polls after the last debate
indicated that Bush fell short of
increasing his national standing,
while Clinton and Perot
beneftted marginally.
After all the time and energy
expended by the candidates,
volunteers and media in order to
keep the public informed during
the debates and the entire campaigning period, wouldn't it be
a shame not to vote? You can
make a difference on November
3rd.
Blood drive strives to
reach goal of 540 pints
Christopher A. Schultz
Staff Writer
This week the bi-annual Blood
Drive sponsored by University
Center Building Managers is
being held in the Program Banquet Room of the University
Debate

ing the Franken privilege, which
basically allows offtcials to distribute mail at taxpayers expense.
Obey immediately defended
himself.
"My fliers were paid for by the
people for Dave Obey, my supporters, not with taxpayer's
money. You need to get your
facts straight. The truth is important in an election and you
ought to remember that!" he
remarked.
Due to time restrictions, many
people in the audience were not
allowed to ask questions.
The debates were organized
and sponsored by the Residence
Hall Association and the Public
Affairs Council.
"We need a lot more donors.

said.
Last semester's goal was the
same, and even though the drive
went through a location change,
they only missed the goal by one
the Greek organizations, SGA,
and ACT as well as individuals.
Local businesses were also
asked to donate to the Blood

Snacks were also donated by
area businesses.

Clinton's plan calls for rationalization
by Brady Kiel
Contributor
This Tuesday many of us will
do our part in determining the
makeup of our government. We
will witness the biggest voter
turnout in recent history.
But before you step behind that
curtain, take a moment and
think about who and what you
are supporting.
Don't be one ofthe countless
many who let Time, Newsweek,
CNN, MTV or your professor
decide your vote for you. If the
election was up to the media,
Hollywood, or academia to
decide, the choice for President
would be clear. Bill Clinton has
a really sweet relationship going
with these institutions.
But do they really represent
what you believe in enough to
determine your vote?
If this is true and you embrace
their love affair with Bill Clinton, then you've made a good
choice for them and yourself.
But if you don't, then take a
closer look at what the Clinton
candidacy consists of.
But where does government
get the cash? Our taxes support
every handout. These vast welfare programs already in place,
thanks to FDR and Lyndon
Johnson, dwarf the budgets of
defense and foreign aid even
"Make sure you know who you're voting for
on Tuesday and that your interests are served. "
Bill Clinton supports big
government. The reason he offers government programs and
cash to every problem is because he has never held a job
outside of public office in his
life.
If you would be eligible for a
Clinton handout if elected, his
being President should appeal to
you.
without Clinton's additions.
Do you believe that government should give jobs and handouts to everyone?
Handouts are meant to help
temporarily, not to be taken to
retirement. Expanding these
programs, a certainty with a
Clinton victory, holds no
promise of breaking this cycle.
But those looking for these
handouts each hold a vote.
Who do you think will get
their vote?
Make sure you know who
you're voting for on Tuesday
and that your interests are
served.
If you agree with welfare expansion and other social
program increases in spending,
then your choice is clear. But
take a serious look at the issues
affecting your life.
It is ironic that in this year of
such dislike for government that
Americans may possibly elect
the biggest believer in big
government since George McGovern.
When you choose on Tuesday,
consider who Clinton really is.
Election brings no free lunch
by Lincoln Brunner
Contributor
Election day. For some it
means little more than the end of
all those "stupid political commercials in the middle of 'Northem Exposure'."
For others, it is the chance to
sit up all night and listen to Tom
Brokaw tell us eighteen times
which colors represent what
candidate on the U.S. map as the
electoral college results filter in.
As in every election year, the
American public during this
campaign has been asked to
digest a daily menu of spin-doctor propaganda and tabloid
dreck about everything from
George Bush's fishing habits to
Bill Clinton's confusion over
what to do when one finds a
doobie in one's mouth.
While these juvenile tidbits
may be cause for a yawn, a more
sobering fact about the Bush and
Clinton campaigns is that they
are really multi-million dollar
attempts to create an alternate
American reality.
The Clinton-Gore jokers want
John and Jane Voter believing
their situation is worse than it
really is, while the Bush-Quayle
hawkers would have us think
that our economic woes are
small in comparison to our continuing position of world
economic and political leadership.
Both parties' claims are somewhat misleading, but the
Democrats are not just saying
their ideas are better. They
seem to be claiming that their
plans are an elixir for whatever
ails America -- and by the looks
of the polls, people are lining up
to buy it.
The Democratic camp has accused the Bush campaign of
resorting to negativism and
dodging the issues. Geez, if
that's not the stump calling the
fence-post stupid.
The trouble is, the
Republicans, instead of pumping the message of how well
(yes, well) we are doing in some
areas, have allowed the
Democrats to play the game that
they have always played best.
" ...the American public during this campaign
has been asked to digest a daily menu of spindoctor propoganda... "
I heard one student say that she
was voting for Clinton because
Al Gore is "big on the environment." Gee -- Al Gore went to
that outrageously successful
Earth Summit and even wrote a
book about America's environmental plight.
Gore must be a good environmentalist. This is a possibility,
but Shakespeare wrote a very
successful play about tree fairies
and forest sprites (A midsummer Night's Dream), and he
probablywasnoteitherofthose.
The name of the Democrat
game is to cast their candidate in
the role of the brilliant unknown
who is fmally getting his muchdeserved shot at the big-time. It
was much the same plan with
John and Bobby Kennedy, as
well as with Jimmy Carter.
Clinton, with his brand of
Peter Pan politics, has flown
onto the public's window sill,
claiming that whatever program
he sprinkles with his magic
pixie dust (ak.a "CHANGE")
will fly.
This sounds great in a farcetelevision debate where how the
plan was presented appeared to
be much more important than
the plan itself. (Again, this is
reminiscent of a cool JFK as he
faced a gray, sweating Richard
Nixon in their first 1960
debate).
Now, five days before the
election, George Bush is the evil
Captain Hook who, along with
his sidekick J. Danforth Smee,
are vying for another four years
of control over Never-Never
Land. Here, they and their nasty
band of Republican pirates have
taken the American dream away
from the next generation and left
nothing but economic and social
- woe to play with.
If Bill Clinton is elected President, many of his programs
might make it through Congress
and work.
However, the American people
need not be surprised when the
pixie dust he needs to make his
plans work turns out to be the
tax dollars he has so graciously
failed to mention in his campaign.
Gear up, Never-Never Land,
and grab your checkbooks.
Hook may have to set sail, but
change will not come without its
price.

Language
empowers
people
Dear Editor:
In the local "News Briefs" section of the October 22nd edition
of the Pointer there was a short
article about the purchase of accessible busses for the city of
Stevens Point, and one line contained the phrase "wheelchair
bound."
This is ignorant wording and
it makes me mad! People who
use wheelchairs are NOT
"wheelchair bound" or "crippled" or "confmed to a wheelchair" - they are people FIRST
who happen to use wheelchairs!
People who have learning disabilities are NOT stupid.
American Sign Language is
NOT a system of crude gestures
-it is a rich Language. People
with disabilities are PEOPLE
frrst and need a language that
empowers us as people.
Language reflects how individuals feel or think about
things. It can show hidden ignorances and prejudices.
Continued on page 11
Grouse debate continues on!
Dear Editor:
Thank goodness for Chris
Meyer's letter "Grouse Hide
Behind Beer Goggles" (Oct.
22).
For those who haven't been
following the grousing letters,
Chris replied to Gregory
Bayer's lament that there are no
grouse in Wisconsin. In fact,
Greg rudely suggested that all
the grouse have been devoured
by Abominable Snowpeople.
Chris countered with authority
and keen argument, stating that
all one needs is sobriety and a
dog. Voila! Grouse will appear. Of course.
But this is the heart of the matter as far as I'm concerned: If
people actually believed that
there are NO grouse, I might be
deprived of a favorite weekend
outing: grouse hunting.
I enjoy the ritual of hunt'ing,
not to mention warm autumn
afternoons, especially prior to
rabbit season. There are few
hunters. And there are even
fewer grouse.
In fact, I too have never seen a
grouse in Wisconsin. But I have
tried to conceal the fact. People
might think I'm daft to be out
hunting for an all but extinct
form of wildlife.
You see, I don't believe in killing what I don't eat. So there
goes rabbit and squirrel. (Chalk
that up to personal taste.) I like
venison but hate crowds , so
there goes deer hunting.
But it leaves grouse hunting.
And there's no fuss and no
muss. Not even a shotgun to
clean, except when I decide to
fire at a can now and then, just
for old time's sake. According
to Chris, I'm just doing it all
wrong. OK. Fine.
Actually I couldn't resist
Chris's dog theory. I borrowed
a friend's dog this weekend and
headed out to what should have
been ideal grouse country, according to Sports Afield, the
DNR or anyone else.
Toby, my borrowed Golden
Retriever companion, had a
blast running through thicket
and forest, brambles and bushes,
and literally field and stream. It
was a beautiful day, but still no
grouse. Nothing. Zero. Zip.
But fear not Chris, as far as I'm
concerned ther ARE grouse out
there; it'sjust that I haven't seen
any. I'll just keep trying, dedicated nimrod that I am. Practice
makes perfect and all that.
Gosh, if there really are no
grouse, I'll have to resort to
hunting the elusive and often vicious ground dwelling jub-jub
bird.
And that can be
dangerous.
Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to
Chris Meyer's letter which appeared in last week's issue of
The Pointer.
_¥y article, headlined
"Abominable snowmen devour
ruffed grouse," was simply an
attempt to throw a humorous
light on the dim fact that
Wisconsin's grouse population
has hit rock bottom.
Because I do not claim to be a
humorist, Chris, I am in no way
offended by your failure to understand the comical content of
my article. However, I do take
offense to your defmition of a
sportsman.
In your letter, you contend that
I am not a sportsman because I
· have never shot a grouse. Since
when does a hunter's status as a
sportsman depend on the
amount of game he kills?
In my book, a hunter can pursue game for a lifetime without
making a kill and still keep the
rank of sportsman.
You see, Chris, a sportsman is
a person who can take loss or
defeat without complaining, and
victory without gloating. You
seem capable of neither.
Admittedly you break game
laws, boasting in your letter, "I
have to admit that there may
have been a couple of times that
I exceeded the five bird daily
bag limit. Oh well!" Obviously, you are not a sportsman, you
are a poacher. Plain and simple.
It is no wonder to me now, that
so many thousands of people
oppose hunting. When the
people of Wisconsin lose their
privilege to hunt, as citizens of
other states have, will you so
light-heartedly reply , "Oh
well?"
Seeing as how you were kind
enough to offer me some counsel on grouse hunting, here is
some advice for you.
If you happened to purchase
a small game license this fall,
pick up the Wisconsin Hunting
Regulations pamphlet that
comes with it. An "outdoor
Recreation Creed," developed
by the Ethics and Fair Chase
Committee, appears on page
three. Read it!
One last thing. You asked me,
"do you leave the bars when you
go hunting?" Well, that just
depends on what I'm hunting.

University of Wisconsin
Stevens Point Professor Eric
Anderson and his graduate students often find themselves between feuding factions.
Because of their research
projects, the assistant professor
of natural resources and his
proteges are in the center of controversies surrounding two
kinds of animals which call
northern Wisconsin home-the
timber wolf and the bobcat.
The university wildlife
specialists are hoping the results
of their studies will help bring
about a truce between animal
rights advocates, hunters, the
DNR and the state.
One of Anderson's students,
Douglas Shelley of Edina, Minnesota, is based in northwestern
Wisconsin, where he is studying
the effect of human activity on
the timber wolf population.
Specifically, he is trying to
determine what effect four-lane
construction on US Highway 53
from near Spooner to Superior
will have on the wolves.
His project is the first part of a
six-year project which Professor Anderson is .coordinating.
It is funded by the DNR at about
$10,000 per year.
work with wolves, bobcats.
Another of Anderson's students, Matthew Lovallo of New
Berlin, is studying the population of bobcats in Douglas
County. The only information
which has been available about
the cats, which weigh between
20 and 40 pounds and are up to
five feet in length, is the number
killed each year.
Since the number of reported
kills have been decreasing in the
past few years, an animal rights
group sued the DNR, claiming
that the bobcats should be listed
as a threatened species with all
hunting and trapping of the
felines halted. Early last month,
a judge ruled in favor of the
DNR, saying the species should
not be listed as threatened given
the available evidence.
So far, Lovallo has attached
radio collars to 16 cats in order
to monitor their numbers in a
100-square-mile area. This
year, according to Anderson, of
the five females collared, four
gave birth to litters and appear
to be reproducing successfully.
Through their studies, Anderson and his students are trying
to prove that the current state
population is stable at about
1,500 to 2,000 cats.
"Since the bobcat has never
been studied in the state, we are
filling a number of informational gaps about the species," the
professor says.
On the wolf project, Shelley is
attempting to radio-tag as many
as possible of the Eastern Timber Wolves, an endangered
species, which live in
northwestern Wisconsin.
About 40 can be found
throughout the state and approximately 1,500 live in neighboring Minnesota The animals
come in various color combinations of black and tan and white,
and the males can weigh up to
about 100 pounds. Their
favorite prey are deer, beaver,
and snowshoe hare.
Previous studies of the
relationship between road density and wolf populations have
suggested that wolf mortality is
related to human access.
Another researcher concluded
that wolf populations can survive in small areas of high road
density, as long as suitable
habitat is nearby.
On one side of the fence in the
ongoing controversy regarding
wolves are people who hate the
animals and would like to see
them destroyed. Wolves have
suffered from a public relations
problem since the days of Little
Red Riding Hood and the Three
Little Pigs, and many of the
wolf-haters can only think of the
animals as cruel and cunning
killers.
Others at the opposite end of
the spectrum would like to see
the animals protected at all
costs. "Stong lines are being
drawn on all sides of the issue,"
Anderson says.
Ironically, two of the animals
killed over the summer met their
fate on a back road J;~.ear Gordon,
not a major highway. One of
them, a lacating female, apparently left three pups behind,
but Shelley has seen them, so he
thinks they must have been old
enough to survive. In fact, the
graduate student has become so
familiar with the trio of pups,
when he howls, they answer
him.
In the future, Anderson says he
would like to do a general
predator study of the area including cats, wolves, foxes, and
fishers. Fishers are a fierce
weasel-like animal, about the
size of a small dog, which sometimes prey on young bobcats.
Through writing grants and
working on their own research
projects, the professor says-his
students learn the rules of the
game and how to be successful
players.
Anderson handles the
projects' budgets, provides onsite visits several times a year,
coordinates the progress reports
and provides liaison with the
funding agencies. He says he is
fortunate to be able to follow hi~
passions and interests, while
gathering invaluable material to
use in his classes.
Anderson, who came to UWSP in 1990, holds a Ph.D. in
wildlife biology from Colorado
State University. He formerly
taught at Unity College in
Maine and was a ranger for the
U.S. Forest Service in Colorado.
At UWSP, he also coordinates
several undergraduate students
involved in a flying squirrel
project in Schmeeckle Reserve.
He has contributed articles to
professional journals and to a
manual published by the
Wildlife Society. Also a grant
reviewer, his funding total for
this year has been close to
$30,000.
Bobcat population being monitored
Bobcats are found throughout
North America but little is
known about the habits or distribution of this secretive woodland predator, especially here in
Wisconsin. Best estimates for
Wisconsin's bobcat population
range from 1500-2000 animals.
Based on that data, The Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources feels that sportsmen
can safely harvest from 150-200
cats annually. Hunters and trappers must apply for a permit
from the DNR to harvest a bobcat from mid October through
December in the northern
quarter of the state. The season
is closed south of Highway 64.
Bobcat research in Wisconsin,
or anywhere in the Midwest, has
been extremely limited. In May
of 1991 Matthew Lovallo, a
graduate student at UW -Stevens
Point and his advisor, Dr. Eric
Anderson initiated a research
project to develop more reliable
methods to monitor bobcat
populations.
Lovallo recieved his B.S. degree in Wildlife from UWSP in
1991 and has a strong interest in
furbearer research. Anderson
researched bobcats in Colorado
before joining the wildlife
faculty at UW-Stevens Point in
1990.
According to Lovallo, "The
area that a bobcat needs to meet
its life requirements varies
among regions." As a general
rule, bobcats in the northern
states use larger areas or home
ranges than those in the southern
states. Bobcats are also larger
on the average in the northern
states.
"These differences make it difficult to use research from other
areas of the country to manage
bobcats here in the Midwest."
Thus, estimating Wisconsin's
population has been a subjective
and often controversial task.
Lovallo's approach to the
problem is simple. "By
radiocollaring a number of bobcats and monitoring their activity throughout the year, we
can estimate the number of
animals in an area.
These densities can be compared to the results of census
techniques (methods used toestimate the number of animals) to
determine whether the techniques accurately reflect the number of animals per unit area."
"Since the project began, we
have captured 16 bobcats with
specially designed foothold
traps in Douglas County. Fifteen of these were equipped
with radio.-collars and
monitored through September
1992," says Lovallo.
Lovallo and Anderson will
continue to monitor the tagged
bobccats until the completion of
the project in August of 1993.
These UW-Stevens Point researchers have collected over
2000 bobcat locations in their
Douglas County study area.
These locations allow the researchers to look at the areas
bobcats are using and are important for estimating densities and
designing management plans.
From their data, Lovallo and
Anderson have found that male
bobcats in Douglas County are
using areas of about 25 square
miles and females are using
areas about half that size.
According to Lovallo, "We estimate a fall density of from 0.4
to 0.5 bobcats (including kittens) per square mile in this particular area."
But Lovallo cautions, "We
have to be more careful about
using the results of this one
study to develop a statewide
population estimate since
habitats and bobcat density vary
throughout northern Wisconsin." And it's the statewide
population that people are concerned about.
Past public concern for
Wisconsin's Bobcat population
resulted from a 4-year declining
trend in the statewide harvest.
The 1991 harvest was 67 bob- cats and was the lowest ever
'recorded.
Lovallo says these declines in
the number of bobcats harvested
"may be the result of numerous
factors that effect harvest rates,
such as pelt prices and weather
conditions, or could represent a
population decline due to overexploitation or competition with
other predator species."
These concerns resulted in the
Coalition for Bobcat Preserva-
tion, a Madison based animiu
·n-elfare organization, filing a
petition in 1990 requesting the
Wisconsin Department o f
Natural Resources to list bobcats as a threatened species in
Wisconsin. After an environmental assessment, the DNR
concluded that there was no

Providing environmental education?
Will environmental education
ever be fully incorporated into
state and local school systems
and infused into standard curriculum?
According to Abby Rusky,
coordinator of the K-12 Environmental Education Initiatives Project and a graduate
student at UWSP, the answer to
· that question is a resounding
"yes."
"Certain states and local communities have already
demonstrated that this can be
achieved, but only where public
agencies, elected officials, businesses, and citizens have come
together to make it bappen."
According to Rusky, "Many
excellent environmental education programs exist because individuals and organizations
have recognized the need and
have done something about it."
At the state level many different interest groups, from in-
dustry to environmental issues
groups, have formed coalitions
which assert political influence
on state legislators to pass environmental education laws.
"In the fmal analysis, statelevel environmental education
initiatives that are self-supporting, and are backed by a broad
coalition that includes
educators, business and industry
representatives and environmental issues organizations, are
viewed as win-win proposals
and almost always succeed."
The purpose ofRusky's project
is to document these state and
local initiatives and thus assist
organizers interested in
developing their own legislation
or program. The K-12 Environmental Education Initiatives
Handbook will be completed on
March 1, 1993 and will feature
the states of Wisconsin, Florida,
Maryland, Iowa, and Arizona,
as well as a few individual com-
munities and counties from
these and other states.
The second phase of the project
will involve development of a
set of recommendations on how
national organizations can sup- ·
port state and local iniatives.
Ruskey)s project is funded by
the National Wildlife Federation and is endorsed by the
North American Association for
Environmental Education.
Said Gary San Julian, Vice
President of Education and
Research for the National
Wildlife Federation, "The K-12
Environmental Education Initiatives Project is one of theN ationa! Wildlife Federation's key
projects. We have come to realize that there are ample environmental education curriculum,
activity guides and facilities out
there. What we need is action at
the community and govemmentallevel to see that these resources get used."
Ruskey, who completed her
undergraduate degree at the
University of CaliforniaBerkeley, worked for three
years designing environmental
policy for local government and
then coordinated environmental
education programs for the N ationa! Earth Day 1990 office.
In her position at Earth Day
1990, Ruskey talked to teachers
all over the country who were
enthusiastic to teach children
about the environment and how
to protect it.
"But these teachers had no
support from 'the top.' I decided .
then that I would do all I could
to see that environmenetal
education is built into our
education and political systems
as fully as possible. This way
teachers will finally get the administrative and material support they need to fully integrate
environmental studies into their
subjects."
Buying bonus tags made easier
Wisconsin gun deer hunters
should receive their hunters'
choice permits and bonus
antlerless deer permits for 1992
November season in the mail
this week, Tom Hauge, Director
of the Bureau of Wildlife
Management, said.
The Department mailed out
more than 341,000 hunters'
choice permits, including
224,000 to hunters who requested only individual hunters'
/ ·choice permits and 117,000 to
hunters requesting both hunters'
choice permits and bonus
antlerless permits.
"Hunters who receive the
bonus antlerless permit notification cards must mail the card
back to the Department of
Natural Resources by Saturday,
October 31," Hauge said.
Applicants must also include a
check or money order payable to
the Department of Natural
Resources for $12 for a resident
applicant or $20 for a nonresident applicant.
"The sooner it's mailed back,
the quicker we will be able to
determine the actual number of
permits left over in each deer
management unit, and the
quicker we'll be able to make
them avialable to the public,"
Hauge said.
All of the bonus antlerless permits will be processed and
delivered to the applicants by
Monday, November 16.
"Hunters who were not successful in obtaining a hunters'
choice permit in one deer
management unit, but who applied for bonus antlerless permits in another unit and were
successful, will receive notification of their bonus antlerless
permit seperately," Hauge
added.
Department staff estimate that
20,000 to 30,000 bonus antlerless permits will be leftover for
1992. This total is down
dramatically form the 90,000
permits remaining in 1991 after
the hunters' choice application
process.
The Department will be selling
this year's remaining permits
through a telephone process,
rather than through DNR offices
-a process which last year
caused long lines at offices
statewide. The telephone order
process will go on line at 8 a.m.
Wednesday, November 4.
The number to call is 1-800695-HUNT. This service will
be available 24 hours a'day and
hunters can charge their bonus
antlerless permits to their
Mastercard or Visa accounts, or ·
they can be billed directly by the
Department.
"This year there were 21,000
bonus antlerless permits left
over after we processed the
hunters' choice permit applications and requests for bonus
antlerless permits," stated
Marilyn Davis, DNR License
Section Chief.
There are currently . 23 deer
management units with left over
bonus antlerless permits.
The Department of Natural
Resources will update hunters
on the sale of the bonus antlerless permits on the television
show "Deer Hunt '92" hosted by
Outdoor Wisconsin to be aired
on all public television channels
statewide at 8 p.m. Thursday,
November 5.

Over 200 students showed up
to watch the UWSP version of
the popular dating game-show
"Studs" last Thursday in the Encore.
- Following the Fox Network
format of the show, UAB Travel
and Leisure sponsored two
rounds of students "Studs."
The first round of the show
consisted of three women and
two men who had previously
gone on blind dates. The daters
were Nicole Schroeder, ShellyBiese, Jessica Draheim, Chad
Dunn and Jon Albee.
Descriptions of the dates in::luded "Great, real smooth and
full of wet white stuff," since the
date occurred on a snowy eve-
ning.
"It was about as much fun as
you can have on a Sunday wi¢
a McDonald's Happy Meal,"
said one participant.
"Cupid's arrow hit him but
missed me," said one student.
"There might have been without
his roommate there!"
A special performance of
"Radio Days," a musical recreation of a 1940s radio show,
will be presented at 8 p.m.,
Monday, Nov. 2 at the Sentry'

Aggressive actors electrify audience
Dan Seeger
Contributor
Robert De Niro and Jessica Lange star in the hard
hitting urban drama "Night and the City" (photo by
Twentieth Century Fox).
When he's really cooking,
Robert De Niro is an actor that
can instantly electrify the
screen.
The latest film to boast the
talents of De Niro is "Night And
The City" and, as usual, he
delivers an acting job that is a
delight to watch.
But unlike previous efforts
that usually find him focusing
on the barely suppressed rage
and inner torment of his characters, this film finds him revelling in the role of an eternal loser
who's hopelessly optimistic.
De Niro plays Harry Fabian, a
two-bit attorney who specializes in chasing ambulances and
cheap schemes. Fabian is ready
to break away from the tawdry
life he's led.
He thinks he's found the perfect outlet when he begins planning a local boxing tournament
featuring fighters from the gym
in the middle of his battered
New York neighborhood.
Fabian sees it as a way to make
a quick buck, but there's something more to it. This is his bid
for respectability, for a small
sense of honor.
Based on a 1950 film starring
Richard Widmark, "Night And
The City" has the look and feel
of modernized film noir. The
locales are dingy, the characters
are all incredibly tough and the
mood is usually grim.
Plus, there's a sleekness and a
very welcome rapid fire pacing
that marks it as a film of the
90's.
The movie's breathless pace
matches the character at its center. Harry Fabian is a fast-talking, frantic salesman whose
most troublesome product is
himself.
De Niro injects the character
with astonishing vitality.
Fabian always seems to be handling a dozen problems at once,
plugging holes . in the flimsy
dam that holds back the tides of
failure even as new ones are
bursting open. It's a infectiously energetic piece of acting.
That intense drive helps the
movie coast over some of its
weaker points, including some
annoying plot holes and a few
vaguely sketched out characters
and relationships.
But even if the screenplay
sometimes falters on storyline
points, it always delivers sharp,
funny dialogue.
The supporting cast makes a
strong impression as well. Especially strong is comedian Alan
King as a menacing rival boxing
promoter who is angered by De
Niro's attempts to move in on
his territory.
Also fme is Cliff Gorman as a
fierce bartender who De Niro
looks to for backing, and Jessica
Lange playing Gorman's wife
who eventually abandons him in
favor of De Niro's dreams.
That's the key to the success
of the movie. No matter how
dismal the lives of these characters are, they are always striving
for something more, fmding a
boxing tournament or a new
business to cling to as their ray
of hope that will lead to redemption and happiness.
And no matter how shady the
character is, we're rooting for
them all the way.
Insiders murder JFK Elvis directs
CIA, mafia involved in cover-up trivia festivities
by Kelly Lecker
Features Editor
John F. Kennedy was not shot
by Lee Harvey Oswald, but was
instead a victim of an intense
CIA and mafia operation to
overtake the government.
This was the claim made by
Bob Harris at "Who Shot JFK,"
a UAB sponsored presentation
held Wednesday night in the
University Center.
"This is important because if
our government is not of, by and
for the people, we have nothing," said Harris. "And that is
exactly what we have-nothing."
Harris conducted research on
the assassination for a comedy
routine he was preparing about
the conspiracy theories .
However, after extensive research, Harris was no longer
laughing.
"Everything I am telling you
are facts anyone can find for
themselves," said Harris.
According to Harris, Oswald
was correct when he claimed
that he was framed for
Kennedy's murder.
"Basically, they want us to
believe that an amateur
marksman used an ancient rifle
to kill Kennedy from the top
floor of a building for no apparent reason, and then he escaped on a city bus," Harris
stated.
Extensive evidence suggests
that Oswald was, indeed,
framed for murder. Some examples of that evidence include
the facts that no fingerprints
were found on the gun and that
Oswald never purchased ammunition for
that type of
gun.
Harris noted that Oswald was
a very poor marksman when he
was in the Marines, and he could
not have hit a target accurately
from such a long distance with a
gun that was so old it was barely useable.
Photos of Oswald produced by
the FBI apparently contain body
parts that don't match, suggesting that the photos have been
doctored.
Harris suggested that the
Secret Service men at the shooting confiscated most of the bullets, leaving only three that
allegedly came from Oswald's
gun.
"It's amazing how our government can accept that three bullets can cause ten wounds in
three different people," Harris
said.
The only people that had the
motive and power to orchestrate
such a cover-up, Harris claims,
were J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson. He also stated that
the two men worked directly
with key CIA, FBI and mafia
agents in the assassination.
"Before Kennedy's body was
cold, Johnson recommitted
more soldiers to Vietnam," said
Harris. "Then the prosecution
of mafia individuals decreased
by 83 percent."
Immediately after the assassination, FBI agents siezed
cameras of bystanders. Hoover
ordered the government to pursue only Oswald as a suspect,
and the CIA began to systematically destroy rather than collect
evidence.
Over a dozen tapes, which are
now locked in the Nixon library
in California, have record of
Johnson, Hoover and other officials planning to murder the
president.
"The bottom line is we need to
question our government," said
Harris. "They covered up the
truth then, and they have done it
over and over in Watergate,
Iran, and the war in Iraq."

On September 2, 1992 Judge
P. Charles Jones concurred with

Jones felt the DNR presented
substantial evidence, by using
winter track counts and population models based on harvest
data, not to list the bobcat as a

However, Judge Jones stressed
the importance of developing
reliable methods to monitor
Wisconsin's population.
Research projects like this one

Soccer takes conference championship
by Mark Gillette
Contributor
The University of WisconsinStevens Point soccer team won
their fmal -three regular season
games, clinching the regular
season conference championship and breaking a school
record for most wins in a season.
All three wins were shutouts at
home against St. Thomas, Concordia and OW-Whitewater.
The Pointers enter the conference championship, held in
Stevens Point this Friday and
Saturday, with a school record
nine-game winning streak,
breaking the record of eight they
set earlier in the season.
The Pointers won 3-0 over a
very respectable St. Thomas
team on Monday, October 26th.
Susie Lindauer scored the
Pointers only goal in the first
half.
Second half goals came from
Jenny Bradley and Jody Rosenthal. Bradley and Rosenthal
were assisted by Janie Probst
and Charisse Simcakowski.
"This was a very important
win for us for two reasons: It
was our frrst win ever against St.
Thomas and we're ending the
season a strong improvement
over the way we fmished last
season," said UWSP coach
Sheila Miech. "Playing a tough

challenge, so it was fun coming
out on the winning end."
Sue Radmer notched her 12th
shutout of the season, adding to
her own school record. She also
has the most shutouts in a career
(20}, most wins in a career for a
goaltender (26) and most wins
in a season (15).
The Pointer team tied a school
record for least amount of goals
allowed in a season at 10, also
set during the 1991 season, and
added to their record of most
shutouts in a season with 13.
"We have to keep playing with
this kind of intensity, drive and
team play for the WWIAC t'ournament this weekend," added
Miech.
Kim Lueneburg, Erica Corbin,
Becky Brem and Bradley led the
Pointers to a 4-0 victory over
Concordia, Minnesota on
Friday, October 23rd. Radmer
claimed the victory again in
what Miech called "one of our
best games all year."
In their conference-clinching
victory over Whitewater, the
Pointers erupted for six second
half goals in their blanking of
the Warhawks. Lindauer and
Brem scored two times apiece
while Krista Soto and Jenny
Reith kicked in the other goals.
Radmer recorded the shutout
victory. Brem's two goals
brought her season total to 18,
tying the school record for most
goals in a •season set by Barb
Updegraff in 1989.

Men's Soccer finishes
season on strong note
by J. Patricks
Contributor
The Men's Soccer Team
finished their 1992 outdoor
season on a strong note by winning two matches and tying one.
Friday's match brought OWStout into town where the
Pointers dominated from the
opening whistle and soundly
defeated the Blue Devils 12-0.
Saturday's match was against
conference co-leader OW-Eau
Claire. UWEC scored frrst midway through the frrst half, after
a free kick was awarded to the
Blue Golds from 16 yards out.
Point continued to attack and
take control of the game when
the stubborn Eau Claire defense
cracked and allowed Jason
Duex to fmd the back of the net
with 12 minutes remaining. ·
Point dominated the overtime.
Both teams played evenly in the
first ten minutes, but the
Pointers turned it up a notch in
the second overtime period.
Junior Jon Eynon, received a
through ball and calmly slotted
the ball past the EC goalie with
seven minutes remaining.
As the Pointer defense stood
strong, led by sweeper Craig
Zipperer, the offense had no will
to let up.
With under two minutes
remaining, Mulaji dribbled past
the right defender and found
junior Mike DuVault unmarked
at the far post where he clearly
headed the ball into the net for a
3-1 overtime final.
"It was by far our best game
we've played all year," said
player-manger Jason Muelvee.
"It was by far our
best game we've
played all year. "
This was the first time Point
had defeated UWEC in three
years.
Point closed out the conference
season against OW-LaCrosse
by finishing with a 2-2 tie.
Strong defense and creative attacking by both teams set the
tone of the game.
Junior goalkeeper Bryan
Woodbury played brilliantly by
stopping 12 shots. Point's
Eynon took a Jim Featherston
pass through the middle and
fmished off the right post to pull
Point ahead 1-0.
LaCrosse tied the game early
in the second half. However,
Point retaliated with 25 minutes
left.
It was once again the speedy
Eynon beating the LaCrosse
defense to put Point ahead 2-1.
LaCrosse capitalized late in the
second half by putting away a
loose ball to once again tie the
game 2-2.
The overtime period brought
on hard play by both teams. A
strong Point defense, anchored
by Andy Fill, Joel Sittig, and
Zipperer was again present and
denied LaCrosse any real scoring chances. Point had several
scoring opportunities but were
unable to fmish.
OWSP fmished third in the
NISC with a 8-3-1 overall
record.
"It was an outstanding season
and we look forward to next
year," said co-captain Joby
Polansky.

. Cross Country performs
well at Iverson Park
by Lincoln Brunner
Contributor
Despite racing without their
best runners, the UWSP cross
country teams put up an impressive showing at Iverson Park in
Stevens Point on Friday the
23rd.
"We ran well," said Men's
Coach Rick Witt. "We were
really using the meet to determine the final three spots for our
conference team."
Running against the varsity
UW-Parkside team, the Pointer
men's squad managed to capture three of the top 15 places.
Ted Zondlo, Eric Clasrud, and
Mark Evans placed fourth,
eighth, and thirteenth, respectively, which earned them seats
on the busride to the conference
championship meet.
On the women's side, two con-
ference team spots were on the
line in a race dominated by a
tough UW-Oshkosh team.
Senior Debbie Hartz, who was
nominated for WWIAC runner
of the week, finished 6th overall, while sophomore Tami
Moyer finished a close 7th,
earning them the final spots on
their conference squad.
While many of his runners
were disappointed with their
times, Women's Coach Len
Hill remained optimistic about
the race and his team.
"I thought the team ran well,"
said Hill. "Everyone had a personal best for this course. Iverson is a tough course. Overall,
the times were pretty good."
When asked about his predictions for the conference meet,
Hill kept his sunny outlook.
"It's going to be interesting,"
said Hill. "There are four teams
that think they have a shot to win
it which are Eau Claire, Oshkosh, LaCrosse, and Stevens
Point.
To be honest," Hill added, "I
think it is going to be between
Oshkosh and us. We can beat
them up front (among the top
fmishers), but they can beat us
from behind. If we run our best,
I thin! we can win it."
Witt did not offer a prediction
for the men's squad. ·
"Of course we are going to
conference to win, but there will
be three other teams there: LaCrosse,
Oshkosh,
and
Whitewater, who think they can
do the same thing. It depends a
lot on the day and how the other
teams run."
The WSUC Conference Cross
Country Meet will be held at
noon on Saturday, October 31st,
at Whitetail Golf Course in Col-

Toronto Blue Jays capture World Series
by Lincoln Brunner
Contributor
The World Series conjures up
many different memories in the
minds of every baseball fan
dedicated enough to stick it out
until the middle of football
season.
For some, it brings to mind
Cincinnati's Big Red Machine
of the mid-70's. For others, it is
last year's idiotic Homer
Hankies, or the chants and
chops from rejuvenated Atlanta
fans.
Still others closer to this locale, dream of a recreation of the
Brewers' great 1982season, and
then flinch at the image of Gorman Thomas striking out
against Bruce Sutter for the fmal
out of the 7th game.
In the past, the Toronto Blue
Jays were literally carried into
the playoffs on the shoulders of
former ace pitcher Dave Stieb,
only to be trounced by more
well-rounded squads from Oakland, Minnesota, and Kansas
City.
This year, a young and
talented Jays team complete
with a new manager, a great
bullpen and infield, a dangerous
dinosaur named Dave Winfield,
and the world'sonly indoor/outdoor stadium, charged into the
by one run) and forcing the
Braves to the wall in a series
they were not supposed to even
be in, according to those brilliant "experts."
The Braves blasted back in
Game Five, winning 7-2 on
1991 Series Goat Lonnie
Smith's grand slam.
If you recall, a duped Lonnie
Smith failed to score the run in
Game Six that would have won
the Series for the Braves last
year.
The Twins, luckiest team in
baseball, capitalized on this and
a few other crucial Atlanta mistakes to take their second World
Series in five years.
World Serieswith something to
prove.
The National League Champion Atlanta Braves, still stinging from a seven-game losing
effort in last year's Series, were
surprised to find a Blue Jay
squad primed for whatever the
best pitching rotation in
baseball could hurl at them.
The Braves won Game One 31, raising comments that Atlanta was just too upset from last
year's disappointment to lose
again.
Toronto, however, would not
hear anything of the kind.
They struck back, winning the
next three games (two of them
Volleyball loses
to St. N orberts
by Deby Fullmer
Sports Editor
Women's volleyball came up
short against St. NorbertS on
Tuesday, October 27th with a
'score of7-15, 4-15,8-15.
"We played well but St. Norberts is a strong team. They
simply had more attacks than we
did," said Head Coach Sharon
Stellwagen.
Dawnette Updyke connected
on ten kills in 20 attempts and
Tara Raddatz led the team in
blocking.
"We played to our potential
against St. Norberts and I feel
that we are getting things
together for conference," said
Stellwagen.
On Saturday, October 24th,
Point lost to Stout and Platteville 8-15, 15-4, 5-15, 4- 15
and 8-15,9-15, and 7-15 respectively.
Against Stout, Jodi Linquist
had 14 kills, Updyke had three
solo blocks, and Raddatz had
four solo blocks.
"Again, we didn't win but we
,e;at Vafa~
are playing up to our potential.
T he wins will come," said
Stellwagen.
In the match with Platteville,
Lindquist had 14 kills and 13
digs, and Updyke had nine kills,
eight digs, four solo blocks, and
three assists.
"Platteville is 31-0, and for us
to keep up with them means that
we played solid volleyball," said
Stellwagen.
On October 21st, the women
losttoEauClaire4-15, 10-15,115.
"We didn't play to our potential as we had a very up and
down night," said Stellwagen.
Volleyball's overall record is
7 -23 with a 0-8 conference
record.
Women's Volleyball seeks
their next competition on Wednesday, November 4th against
Cardinal Stritch in Milwaukee
at7 p.m.
Then they will travel to
Menomonie on November 6th
and 7-th for the WWIAC Championships.
The Braves-, however, didn't
lose this year's Fall Cla5sic because of bad blunders. They
were simply outplayed and outscored by a team that represented a good shot in the arm for
Canadian sports.
Even though a ten-year anniversary Brewer return to the
Series would have been nice,
and even though I would have
preferred that the National
League win something for a
change, I suppose you could do
worse than the Blue Jays.
At least they're not the Twins.
