McGyver bombs" ex_plode on campus

News Editor
The explosion of three
homemade bombs near Hansen
Hall last Saturday is currently
under investigation by Protec- ·
tive Services and the Stevens
Point Police Department.
No_;juries or property damage
wii"Sustained and no witnesses
or suspects have been connected
to the case.
The "McGyver Bombs", as
termed by Protective Services,
exploded within four minutes of
eachotherin the outside area be-hind the Hansen Hall front desk.
According to Don Burling,
director of Protective Services,
the bombs "just look like trash.
If someone tried to pick it up
when it was close to exploding
they could be seriously hurt," he
explained.
The bombs were contained inside two liter plastic bottles, but
could be made in any container
with a cap according to Burling.
He hopes that students will be

that seein out of place.
In the incidents on Saturday
only a disorderly conduct
charge.could be filed if someone
was convicted since there was
no injury or property damage.
Burling cautions, however, that
potential offenders could be
charged with arson or aggravated assault, which is a
felony.
The charge would be determined by circumstances of intent or if bodily injury occurred.

bombs" were recorded last
semester on campus and reports
were· also filed in the last few
years in the community.
that could be involved with the
bombs and hope that perpetratol'$ think twice," Burling
warned.
Anyone with information
regarding this case are urged to
contact Protective Services at
346-3456.
Butter's Expands
None of the previous suspects
on campus or in the community
have been connected to these incidents.

Decision now pending definite amount
'

•
The possible increase of
auxiliary chargeback fees was
discussed Wednesday afternoon
in the Mitchell Room of the
U.C. by several University officials.
•
These auxiliaries are billed annually to compensate the
University for their use of services provided by the campus.
Examples of these services include accounting services, postal services and security services.
The potential increase of chargebacks could directly affect ~
students since student fees may
increase to cover the costs, but
no dollar amount or definite
decision was reached at the ·
meeting.
The guiding principle of GAPP
42 is that auxiliaries should not
be charged for services that do
not directly benefit that unit.
"We haven't added one red
cent yet (to the previous chargeback fees)," Ron Lostetter,
University Controller, stated.
Each auxiliary chargeback is
determined in relationship to the
overall size of each budget, assuming that the auxiliary uses
the service in proportion to its
total budget as well as if each
auxiliary uses it equally.
A chargeback fee exists to
compensate for the decreasing
amount of funds provided to the
University by the state government.
As defined by the generally accepted policy and procedure
paper (GAPP) 42·, the
auxiliaries subject to chargebacks at UWSP include Park. ing services, Housing, the
Bookstore, and Food Services.
All are services that are subsidised by student user fees.
Life should stop replicating services that the University performs since they will be charged
for it regardless of who per. forms the service cheaper.
· Last year $173,958 was collected fro~ chargebacks. This
years tentative proposal is almost double at $336,455.
. According to Lostetter charge backs began because of
shrinking state funds.
"The money is being used to
lessen the blow of instruction,"
he stated, "and does not go
directly to the areas of ser-Vice."
Randy Alexander, Director of
Housing, feels that Housing
does not use some of the services as much a!! other
auxiliaries and therefore
shouldn't be charged as much.
After consideration of this
point during the meeting, it was
agreed that funds should be
transferred to the appropriate
areas of service, but that they
then would be transferred back
to the area of in$truction:
Alexander feels that some
tasks performed by University
services could be done "better
and cheaper" by Residence Life
staff.
President of the Student
Government Association,
David Kunze, feels that students
should be concerned with this
process.
Lo*tter felt that Residence

budget), by increasing our fees
and reallocating the state dollars
they are receiving," he stated.
A final decision will not be
made regarding the total chargeback fees until additional information is provided by ether
Universities as to their policies.
Vice Chancellor Howard
Thorye and Assistant Chancellors Gregory Diemer and Helen
Godfrey will review all information and make a final
decision .at an undetermined · :
date.

Sever!ll major setbacks have
put a damper on the city's efforts _to handle recycling in
Stevens Point.
Oil contamination of the soil
surrounding the formet: site of
Portage County Recycling
Center (PCRC) in Stevens Point
has causedthe Center to move to
a different location.
Uoyd Brothers (LB) Recycling of Wausau took over recycling for all participating
communities in Portage County
after Paper Processing
Company's lease at the
formerPCRC location expired
on January 1.
Another concern facing the
city has been the contracting of
a permanent recycler for the rest
of 1993. LB Recycling picked
up the slack when Stevens Point
was left without a processor on
December 31.
"With the new push to put
teeth into the ordinance [mandating separation of recyclable
material as of January 1], we
didn't want a gap in the pick-up
schedule," said Mayor Scott
Schultz.
In order to meet the demands
of the county's recycling needs,
LB has added a new facility in
the J.P. Mach Building in
Plo:ver. However, the facility is
a temporary one for the PCRC
and is not accepting any residential drop-off materials.
Although curb-side collection of recyclable materi.als in
the city is unaffected, Stevens
Point remains without a permanent drop-off center.
According to Lance Tesch,
LB's vice-president of marketing and sales, hi~ company is
willing to provide!a mobile collection unit to receive recyclables.

Recycling now m·andatory in Point
by Tonya Williams
Contributor
The new year has brought a
new law to Stevens Point--mandatory recycling.
To make sure that people are
recycling, clear bags, are to be
used for all garbage and recyclable items.
The purpose of the clear garbage bags is so that the garbage
person can clearly see through
everyone's garbage while
making sure people aie not
throwing aw~y recyclable
materials.
Items required for recycling
are alUm.inum and tin cans·, newpapers and magazines, corrugated cardboard, glass of any
color, and number 1 and 2 plastics. (Number ratings are on the
bottom of any plastic container.)
Off campus students will have
to save their Dominos' boxes,
beer cans and other recyclable
waste containers until the recycling truck picks them up.
Each city street will have one
pick-up day a month for their
recyclables. That day is determined by the week-day of your
normal garbage pick-up.
Garbage and recyclables improperly separated will be given
a color-coded tag listing the
needed correction. A second
offense will draw a $50 fme.
There is no drop-off site for
recyclables.The old recyclable
plant on Water Street closed
down, and the site for the new
plant has not been approved yet
by the city council.
The city has not put into full
force the clear garbage bag law
yet since the clear garbage bags
they ordered to distribute did not
arrive.
In the Stevens Point Jounal 's
Jan. 8 issue, Steve Lewis, Superintendent of Serivces said, "We
are now planning a Feb. 1 kickoff." . At this time each home
will be issued 25 clear garbage
bags.

Butter's Brickhause to add on state-of-the-art dance floor
by Kevin A. Thays
Editor-In- Clzief
Butter's Brickhause, a bar located on the .comer of Second
and Clark streets, is currently
undergoing construction and
will be expanding to include a
state-of-the-art dance room..
The new·dance room will have
a "Glasshause" atmosphere with
a pulsating and glowing l?ar,
neon lights, and the latest technology for sound and dance
light equipment.
"I want to keep it as innovative
as l can," said owner Ken Butterfield. "The twelve feet high
glass windows will compliment
the powerful lights causing a
lum~ating affect to outside traffic," he said.
The dance room will connect
to the existing bar area through
an arch doorway. The current
bar atmosphere will stay the
same.
"The two rooms will 'De very
different in styles. There will be
a dramatic contrast between the
Glasshause and the Brickhause
with the archway connecting the
two areas," Butterfield said.
The design of the new room
will also include shiny, metallic
walls, a high dark ceiling loaded
with conceiled lights, and a
dance floor with no definite·
boundaries.
"I am following the latest in
trends which are happening on .
the east' and west coasts of the
United States. Free-form dance
floors are popular in those
areas," said Butterfield.
There will also ~ separate
outside entry ways for each
room. A bouncer will be at each
door to monitor identification of
people coming in.
Butterfield indicated that his

businesses on the downtown
square. "It's good to have
Bruiser's so close. We will
complement each other," he
said.
Plans are being made by Butterfield for continuous reinvestment; probably on an annual
basis.
"If I have a cover-charge for
people to enter, it will most likely be one dollar or less. That
money will be put into a fund for
my yearly additions to the two
rooms," Butterfield said.

A little pessimism from a generally optimistic person

Editor-ln-Cizief
"Welcome back!" was the
feeling I got the minute I arrived
in Stevens Point from my long
relaxing holiday break. But it
only took 'fifteen minutes of unpacking and remembering what
I forgot to realize that I was in
for two weeks of culture shock.
Yes, "Stumble in!" became
my wann greeting and to te11
you the trui.h, it didn't bring the
kind of heat that melts snow--it
was more like the heat you feel
on your forehead when you
sweat bullets.
And bullets are exactly what I
felt from my professor's pen
today when he pointed me out
for not purchasing my $40 Jab
manual. I couldn't bring myself

I could choose the books to ~uy

system that UWSP brags so
much about.
UWSP has a lot of really neat
things that touch my emotions.
It stinks that humiliation has
been the result so often in the
last two weeks.

when I discovered that my alarm
was set for p.m. to wake me for
a morning class. I almost busted
my stitches from laughing after
I found out that he did the same

It wasn't easy to laugh because

For example, Jet's take those
unique light-activated bubblers
in the university center. I could
be tota11y relaxed until I bend
over to get a drink only to see
my face in the dry bottom and
feel a hundred people laughing
and staring at me from behind.
Speaking of Ia ughter, I
thought I was going to be

of those pepple.

And food was definitely painful to eat without the crushing
fact that I actually had to prepar~
it myself. I guess a Twinkie diet
is pretty nonnal. for a co11ege
student anyway, · so maybe I
shouldn't feel so lousy about
that. ·
By the way, Mountain Dew

Twinkies down. It's also .great
for fighting off "lecture sleepiness" during times when my
better judgementte11s me to stay
awake (even though I can't no

I have to say that yawning is a
difficult thing to control during
a lecture. For that matter, clockchecks are too. I am a master at
both of these and I've practiced
my skills a Jot during the last
two weeks. I've even been
caught in action while doing
both at the same time!
And time is a big factor because I am already counting the
number of days till Spring

Clinton's true test; living up to his word
by Bill Downs
Contributor
William Jefferson Clinton became our 42nd presiden~ this
week and I think the
"honeymoon" ended before the
wedding ceremony took place.
Our newest President has be~n
receiving a double helping of
reality for the past several weeks
and by now must be wishing that
Ross Perot had won the election.
As I watched the inauguration,
I couldn't help but notice that
the guy who was so smooth in
delivering his lines during the
debates was visibly shaky. It
seemed he had either forgotten
what to say 0r wasn't paying attention to )ustice White who
was issuing him the oath of o'f- ·
fice.
Maybe it was all that partying
he had been doing all week (a
large portion of which was at
taxpayers' expense). Or maybe
it was something his new
secretary of state said just before
he took the oath (possibly about
Saddam or some other international pain in the ass).
Whatever it was, it's apparent
that President Clinton is going
to need a lot more Grecian for:
mula before his term is up.
It would also seem that his hair
color isn' t the only thing that
keeps changing. He promised
the American people change,
and so far that's exactly what
most of us have been seeing.
He has changed his mind about
nearly every campaign promise
he made.
Of course nobody can blamehim! After all he did inherit a
bigger mess than what he was
told existed. Is it his fault that
it's probably going to take more
time and money that he thought
to fix things?
Maybe he should start working
of his re-election campaign
no~, becau~ it is definitely
gomg to take more than four
years to fix the deficit,. un-
employmept, the economy,
health care, and all those other
things he promised were going
to be his first priority.
But, then there is ·the little
problem over in Somalia, Iraq,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Haiti, and
a dozen or so less important
countries. Nobody told him that
the U.S. had to meet all those
obligations too.
Yes Mr. President, when you
said you woul-d change the
policy about the Haitian
refugees, about 100,000 ofthem
took that as a personal invitation
to the inauguration, and set sail
for the Potomoc River.
·And ' you didn't really think
Saddam was going to let you
just quietly slip into town
without giving you a taste of
what .George has had to put up
with for the last four years.
As commander-in-chief you're
going to have some tough
decisions to make . You
promised that homc·se.x uals
would be allowed in the
military. Are your:eadytore-instate the draft too?
Will non-homosexuals join a
military that has an open policy
towards homosexuals, because
if they don't how !lfe you going
to maintain the best military in
the world?
If you have to bring back the
draft will you allow deferments? Will the only ones
being drafted be minorities and
poor inner- city whites?
There are a lot of things to consider Mr. President. I sincerely
hope you have what it takes to
make the right decisions.
Some of the media this week
has made comparisons of JFK
and President Clinton. I overheard a lady say that it was about
time we had a "good looking"
president in office. If that was
the criterion that voters used to
elect Bill Clinton, we are in deep
trouble.

/Boucher's dream

Many children often build
snow forts or "homes" from leggos, and as they grow into
adult$, these people may often
dream of the ideal house in
which to live.
One UWSP sophomore is
about to see her dream house begome a reality.

house," said Boucher. "I spent
a long time just doing research
for the·project."

Panama City for Spring Breakers
Amy Boucher recently
designed a plan for a low

The design was entered in a
contest sponsored by Habitat for

In addition, she has been commissioned as a choreographer

Spring Break is a much
awaited vacation for college
students everywhere, and this
year at UWSP is ~o exception.
"Two years ago I went to
South Padre Island Texas with
the school and it was terrific!
The bus ride was long and horrible, but once we got there
(S.Padre) it made the 32 hour
ride well worth it," said Melissa
Kmichik, UWSP senior.
Last year !Jte trips that Cam-
R E SE R V E
pus Activities and University
Activities Board offered were
Panama City, Florida, and
Daytona, Florida.
However~ this year the only
trip offered will be to Panama
City, Florida.
This is due to a decrease in interest to visit Daytona Beach.
But, with this decrease, Panama
City has grown to be the new
"hot" spot for college students.
"I visited Panama City last
year and had a far better time
than I had in Daytona the year
before. Panama City is very
clean and the beaches are much
nicer than those in Daytona,"
explained Jody Marver, UWSP
senior.
"I think that Daytona Beach
has just been the hot spot for too
long and has let the quality of
it's beaches decline," Marver
added.
In Panama City, cars cannot
drive on the beach, when in
Daytona, the)l can. This often
destroys the sand for miU}.y
tourists' tastes.
"So whether you take the bus
offered through school, or you
drive yourself, the prices are
very reasonable; $139.00
without transportation and
$229.00 riding the school sponsored bus," said Tammy Alberts, Campus Acti vites
employee.

abide by the city's recycling ordinance.
Steve Hart, a Steiner resident
who has expressed interest in
being on the board, says the opportunity attracts him because
he wants to get more involved
with campus activities and
thinks it will help him handle
problems in the future.
Kent Perrodin, an advisor of
Student Conduct, said, "This
way the people making the
decisions about what should and
shouldn't happen are the ones
being most aff~~d."
Board members can look forward to hearing evidence, asking questions and suggesting
educational sanctions surrounding cases like noise violations,
vandalism and alcohol related
disruptions.
The selection procedure varies
from each hall, but the overall
screening of applicants is done
by hall directors.

Music Review: 1992 yielded·musical greats
by Jason Fare
Contributor
Anyone reading a newspaper
or magaiine during the past year
might have taken in a few articles · on the music being
released and recorded.
1992:THE YEAR OF SEATTLE, or SEATILE BANDS
LAY WASTE TO THE COMPETITION.
Headlines like these covered
front pages of many publications and had college radio stations reduced to mongrels of
Pavlov with the hype.
As Flavor Flav of Public
Enemy might exclaim, don't
believe it baby. All the bands
conceived in the "Seattle scene"
have good qualities and some
. great ones, but the best music of
1992 did not come out of
Washington state.
Mudhon~y, Soundgarden,
Nirvana, Alice in Chains,
Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam,
and their off-shoot Temple of
the Dog are a comprehensively
competent group of musicians,
but not a terribly original
montage.
Lou Reed once again set an incredibly high standard for the
year with his ·beautiful "Magic
And Loss" record. His fascinating lyrics compensated for his
slightly-inferior-to-Kathleen
Battle singing voice, and his
band was consistently powerful.
R.E.M. released "Automatic
For The People," a brooding
collection of songs that rank
among the best in their career.
Their ballads "Everyboy Hurts,"
"Find The River," and
"Nightswimming," proved that
slow doesn't have to succumb to
sap.
It was one of only a handful of
records that Rolling Stone
magazine has given 5 stars to in
the last 15 _years.

unnoticed by both the pop and
alternative camps was "Kiko"
by Los Lobos. The pinnacle of
their excellent catalog, "Kiko"
stretched their musical reach
even further and meshed
numerous styles with subtle
grace.
Anyone who still associates.
this band with their fluke
remake of "La Bamba" should
be strapped down and forced to
listen to their last three releases.
It was no surprise when they
refused to play it at Summerfest
the last time they performed
there.
Like the demons he sings
about, Danzig (Glenn) embodied the soul of Jim Morrison
crossed with King Diamond on
"Danzig III: How the Gods
Kill."
A menacing stage presence
and one hell of a singer, Danzig
ripped through ten fabl~s of
death, destruction and eternal
suffering on the record, which
sported a cover by H.R. Giger.
No one expressed frustration
and turmoil as effectively as
Danzig in 1992.
Henry Rollins, former lead
singer of Black Flag, was
probably the year's most introspective artist. His 6 CD box
set, "Deep Throat" was a compelling look at the not-soglamorous side . of rock n'roll
and other issues (sexual harassment, drugs, relationships,
police).
Like Jello Biafra in 1991 with
"I Blow Minds For A Living,"
Rollins is never afraid to speak
his mind. Entirely spoken
word, and at an average of 70+
minutes per disc, "Deep Throat"
provided a huge ·amount of
material for a relatively small
price. Though not as talented as
Biafra in the spoken forum, Rollins was an honest voice worth
hearing.
Sonic Youth Hammerslammed another orgasm on
disc under the legendary status
in the alternative and guitartouring tribes.
A group of prolific singersongwriters added a record to ·
each·of their masterful collections in 1992. Bob Dylan, Neil
Young, Leonard Cohen. Lyle
Lovett, Tom Waits and
Michelle Shocked all made
records worth buying, as they
have consistently before.
Bruce Springsteen released
two wonderful albums that
received very little radio play
and barely sold a million copies
each. By comparison, "Born In
The U.S.A." has overtaken the
12 million mark in the United
among the best recordings of the
year.
cal year was the treatment of
Ice- T by the media and the conservative slugs who rallied
against his "Cop Killer" song. .
Soul Asylum made their majot
label debut on Columbia witll
"Grave Dancers Union" --a
record of polished guitar grunge
t1iat shined in spots but lacked
the reckless abandon which
gave their earlier recordings
more lasting appeal.
The Body CoU:nt record wasn't
anything more than mediocre,
but Ice-T provided societal insight (if cartoonish) throughout.
Andrew "Dice" Clay can revel
about the joys of using women,
but a black man cannot make a
.statement about police brutality.
The soundtrack to the
Cameron Crowe movie
"Singles" was the best sampler
of Seattle music and one of the
best soundtracks of recent years.
The addition of two Paul
Westerberg songs at the last
minute during production was a
great decision for Crowe to
make and added to the quality of
the record.
Among the many other good .
recordings of 199~ are; Blues~
Saraceno "Plaid," Cure "Wish,"
L7 "Bricks are heavy," Cowboy
Junkies "Black Eyed Man,"
Faith No More "Angel Dust,"

Four sure-fire.ways to cure the winter blues.
by Kelly Lecker
Features Editor
With nearly two weeks of the
semester under our belts, you
can already hear many students
utter that all too common word:
Stress.
- -Whether it be classes or
professors or snow or the freezing cold, all of us seem to have
something to complain about.
Spring Break is a long way off,
and after being stuck inside all
winter, stress gets the better of
most people.
· ..There are several ways students can avoid stress or ai least
get relief when it's overwhelming.
According to Dr. Bill Hettler
from Health Services, not all

level of stress helps.people perfqrm at optimum levels.
It is distress, or an excessive
amount of stress, that can cause
problems such as tension

two kids: defmite distress.
Several relaxation techniques
have been developed by David
G. Danskin and Karen L.
Sothers of Kansas State University to help people reduce the
tension in their lives.
Try these exercises anytimewhile. standing in line at the
store, sitting in class, or driving
in your car. After a while, they
will become automatic reac~
tions to stressful situations.
1) Deep Breath. Take a deep
breath. Hold it for about three
seconds, then let it out all at
each breath out. It's almost as if
you are wearing lead boots. My
feet are heavy. My feet are
heavy. Just imagine this for a
few seconds.
NOTE: This exercise should
not be done while driving - lead
feet are never a popular excuse
with police officers.
3) Equalized Breathing.
Take four seconds to breathe in
and four seconds to breathe out.
That is, as you inhale, count "1 .
one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3
one thousand, 4 one fuou~and."
And, as you breathe ·out. count
similarly. .Do this 4 or 5 times.
. 4) 4S --The Ultimate MiniQuicki. First, smile and make
your eyes sparkle. Then take a
deep breath. As you let it out,
let your jaw hang slack,
shoulders sag, and forehead
smooth out. Do. it again. 4S
Smile, slack, sag, smooth.
NOTE: If you are doing this
in public, Ignore all the people
around you who are making
note of all your unusual facial
gestures. !This will only cause
you more ~istress, in which case
you will have to start over.
Accordi~g to Dr. Hettler, the
best way to avoid undue stress is
to simply schedule everything
you want tc;> do in a calendar and
allow yourself time to do what
you want.
"Calendars and a schedule caq
greatly relieve a person's stress
and eliminate the panic that goes
with forgetting what needs to be
done," Hettler explained.
Well, with the cold weather
and all the snow on the ground,
only one sure-ftre stress-reducing technique comes to mind at
the moment: Think Spring.

Man helps vets cut red tape
Students act out a scene from "The Gloaming oh
My Darling," a Players sponsored production ·
running this weekend (photo by Chris Kelley).
When a Veteran needs help at
UWSP he or she can depend on
!;:arry Sipiorski to provide
answers.
Sipiorski is the Associate
Registrar for UWSP and handles all VA students as well as
National Guard and Reservists.
Sipiorski helps Vets establish
eligibility for educational
benefits and assists them in filling oui the various forms
needed. He also does follow-ups for
Vets to ensure continuing students receive their benefits
uninterrupted.
The biggest problem Sipiorski
encouters is with the National
Guard and Reservists.
Whenever one of these students is transferred to another
unit by the military it causes a
delay in their benefits.
According to Sipiorski the
system is complicated and full
of bureaucratic bottlenecks.
He says, "timing is the main
thing.. .if you can get the paperwork to the units concerned at
the right time, the Vet doesn't
lose anything."
The second toughest group to
work with are the Vocational
Rehabilitation students.
Sipiorski explains, because
there are so few of them, and due
to the unique type of benefits
they receive (considerably more
than the average Vet), they
often require special handling.
The government bureaucracy
slows the system down. According to Sipiorski, "the VA
operates on a trial and error system."
He says, "if the VA doesn't get
the letter (of eligibility) back,
the Vet doesn't get a check."
He goes on to say, "tf the stu-
dent is full time the VA keeps
paying full time benefits even if
the Vet changes to part time ...
this results in overpayriien~
that the student is obligated to
repay."
"Now the school is checking
once a month to make sure the
student is full or part time," said
Sipiorski. "When all else fails,
the best thing to do is write your
congressman."
Last semester there were 250
Veterans emolled at UWSP or
about three percent of the student body.
Larry Sipiorski has beeR at
UWSP since 1976 and received
his BA in Economics from UWMadison and his MBA from
UW- Oshkosh.
St. Gall's Abby revived
•
UWSp /i bTary
gol!s Swiss
by Lincoln Brunner
Eon tributor
For those whose knowledge of
Switzerland extends no further
than watches, secret bank accounts, and good skiing now
have the opportunity to expand
their horizons a little bit.
UWSP, in cooperation with
the Arts Council of Switzerland
. and the Swiss Embassy, has
brought a unique piece of history and literature to the Stevens
Point campus.
The mammoth exhibit, which
presently commands almost
every available square inch on
the first floor of the Learning
Resource Center, tracks the history of the Swiss Abbey of St.
Gall.
From St. Gall's modest beginnings in the eighth century, the
exhibit examines · the abbey's
position in the Swiss church all
the way to its present place as a
European culture center.
The exhibit was brought to
Stevens Point through the efforts of Dr. Imogene DeSmet,
graduate professor of English.
"I thought it would be interesting for students to see what sorts
of books were being written
in.... the so-called Middle Ages,"
satd DeSmet.
Among the many displays are
replicas and illuminations of
Catholic church writings and artifacts dating to 766. The displays relay the story of the

This replica of the Abby o_f St. Gall is part of a Swiss
exhibit in the Learning Resource Center through
February 15 (photo by Chris Kelley).
Before docking at UWSP, the
exhibit was seen in Switzerland,
then was housed at the University of Dublin before traveling
to George Washington Univer·sity in Washington D.C., Duke
University, and the UniYersity
of Toronto where DeSmet
received her Ph.D.
In addition to church
manuscripts, the exhibit also
features .several priceless
church artifacts, including
carved ivory book bindings and
the personal seals of 35 former
abbots of St. Gall.
For engineering or history
buffs, models and blueprints of
the abbey's buildings are also
displayed
alongside
chronologies of the leadership
of the monastery and St. Gall's
key historical events.
The blueprints and
manuscripts on display at the
exhibit shed light on the sophis· ticated architecture and ad-v anced philosophical thought
that was alive and well at the
Abbey during the "Dark Ages."
Another unique feature of the
exhibit is the abbey's collection
of Old High German
manu-s cripts, replicated in a
series of illuminations for the
tour. St. Gall was a mecca for
the study of Old High German
writings in the Middle Ages, and the oldest German book in
existence.
Today, St. Gall is much like
any other western European
town, and the abbey an? its
cathedral serve more as a 1cultural and tourist center than a
theological hotbed.
Although St. Gall has changed
beyond recognition from its
original purpose, the exhibit
stands in the library as a testimony to the abbey's rich
literary and religious heritage.
The exhibiL will remain in the
Learning Resource Center until
February 15. Hours for viewing
are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday
through Thursday, 8 a.m. to .

By general consensus, fishing
hasn't been overwhelmingly
productive so far this year.
UWSP senior and ice fishing
aficionado, Chris Lucas,
believes that it has a lot to do
with the weather.
"With all the changes in
temperature that we've had lately, the fish aren't feeding the
way they normally would," said
Lucas.

Wildlife .Society helps waterfowl
Duck nesting structures improved

0 utdoors Editor
The Wildlife Society was busy
once again this past weekend
with one of their 20-odd ongoing projects.
According to AI Guggisberg,
the project leader, "A record
tum--out of 21 members" spent
the majority of Saturday,
January 23 repairing and reinforcing 57 duck nesting structures located in the Mead
Wildlife Area.
The main goal of the project is
to provide the ducks · with
protection from predators such
as fox, raccoons, and skunks.
They do this by building the
structures atop steel pasts to
keep them off of the water;
therefore, away from predators.

Winter boating can be fatal
Thirty three percent of all boat
accidents in Wisconsin that
result in a death occur from October 1 through March 31, according
to
Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources boating·safety statistics.
"Twenty people have died in
Wisconsin since 1989 due to
boat accidents that occurred
during the cold weather
months," explained William
Engfer, a DNR boatmg safety
specialist.
"Nationally, winter .b oat accidents claim more than 200 lives
a year," he added.
Fatalities often occur when
someone capsjzes a boat or falls
overboard into cold water. "The
paralyzing effect of cold water
on the body can tum a minor incident into a major tragedy ,"
Engfer said.
Someone immersed in cold
water loses body heat 25 times
faster than a person in air at the
same ten.perature.
.
In Wisconsin, winter boating
is common, especially on some
of Wisconsin's rivers and on the
Great Lakes. Winter boating
can be both safe and enjoyable,
but Engfer recommends boaters
take special safety precautions
during such outings:
-Always wear a life jacket and
make sure everyone in your boat
puts one on. Cold water can
cause a person to lose consciousness quickly, A life jacket will keep you afloat.
-Wear several layers of wool
clothing for insulation, as well
as wool socks, a cap and gloves.
Wool will retain body heat, even
when wet.
-Be aware of the w eather
forecast and watch for changing
conditions. If you do get caught
out in a squall, head for shore
diagonal to the waves.
-If you do fall overboard or capsize, take these steps to minimize heat loss.
-Stay with your boat and wait
for assistance. Right a capsized
boat and climb in. Most boats
will support you even when full
of water. If you cannot right the
boat, climb on top of it.
-Keep your life jacket on snugly and do not remove your clothing. Instead, button, buckle, zip
or tighten collars, cuffs, shoes
and hoods. Cover your head if
possible. A layer of water
trapped inside your clothing
will be warmed by your body
and help insulate you.

People may remember this
business establishment by it's
former name, "Butter's Bar."
Butterfield"is-the original owner
of the bar which existed from
1974-81. He moved back to
Stevens Point and reopened the
bar as "The Brickhause." in
1990. It is currently known as
"Butter's Brickhause."
According to Butterfield, he

business. He enjoys a mixed
crowd ranging from college stu- ·

"My business_will be different

bottom-line is that I'm trying to
have a unique operation-- two
bars in one with a stimulating atmosphere in both," explained ·

Admissions tightened ·Scholarships to -be
Seats for new freshman for fall
semester are fllling fast at the
University of Wisconsin
Stevens Point, prompting administrators to further tighten
admissions standards as a means
of controlling size of the campus
enrollment.
Effective immediately, only
prospective freshman in the top
25 percent of their high school
classes are assured admission.
Those in the top 50 to 7 4 percent
may apply, but their applications are being placed on hold
for later review.
Admissions Director John
Larsen said applicants in the
hold category will be informed
of their status with UWSP after
March 15.
The changes in standards do
not affect transfer students at
this time, Larsen added.
SiD.~ the late 1980s, UWSP
has been directed by the UW
System Board of Regents to
gradually reduce its enrollment
to insure the institution's size is
more in line with funding from
the state. Consequently, significant numbers of students
have been turned away each
year, either because their high
school grades don't meet the
school's increasing admission
standards or they wait too long
to apply for the limited number
of seats.
UWSP' s enrollment is to be
reduced by another 150, to
about 8,740 this fall. To
achieve that goal, the freshman
class will be reduced from about
1,400 last September to between
1,325 and 1;385 this September.
'Larsen said when admitted
students' $100 deposits are accepted, their enrollments are
guaranteed. The deposits will
be applied toward fall tuition.
Because many applicants are
anxious to confrrm their admission, the deposits are coming in
at a brisk rate at the current time,
he added.
The admissions director encourages those who are eligible
to be admitted and are planning
to attend UWSP to finalize their
paperwork and payments as
-soon as possible.

Superbowl
fever returns
by Lincoln Brunner
Contributor
What "The Dukes of Hazzard"
used to be to Friday night TV,
the Super Bowl is to professional sports.
Just like they did for Bo, Luke,
and Boss Hogg, whether they
love 'em or hate 'em, millions of
people will sit glassy-eyed in
front of the 'tube to watch two
powerful foes battle for all the
marbles.
Super Bowl xxvii pits the
Buffalo Bills under the stem but
caring Marv Levy against hairspray expert Jimmy Johnson
and the Dallas Cowboys.
Of course, neither team will
have to jump an orange Dodge
Charger over a shrub to provide
entertainment, but they will
both be hoping to make it back
to the farm with a good story to
tell.
The Bills walk into Pasadena
this Sunday under a cloud that
Both teams have enough
weapons to make any Iranian
terrorist group drool in their
beards.
The Cowboys, though, have a
few things that put them first in
line at the ring-fitter's shop.
First of all, the power trio of
Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith
and Michael Irvin ciln tear a
defense apart by itself.
Add in the league's No. 1
defense, and you've got the
makings of a blowout that
would make the ever-somber
Landry dance a jig with the
champagne bottle on his head.
Giving Buffalo the benefit of
the doubt, though, I have to say
that shutting the mouth of every
cynic from New Youk to Seattle
might be enough to push the
Bills over the top.
Sadly, though, the magic of
spite will probably not be
enough for Jim Kelly and company to stop a team with as
many good ~etes and coaches
"I do sincerely wish the best for the Buffalo
Bills. After all, the curse of the Could-HaveBeen's is a cruel thing to live with."
as a copper or nickel lining at
st.
Having lost the last two Super
owls, the Bills face the
rospect of hellish ridicule if .
y lose, and a national "It'shout-time" if they win.
Only Denver and Minnesota
(0-3 and 0-4 in Super Bowls,
espectively) know the bitter
avor of near-supremacy better.
John Elway has probably eaten
nough crow in the past ten
ears to nourish Southeast Asia.
Dallas, the resurrected dynasy, has nothing to prove except
they really can win a Super
owl without Tom Landry.
Heck, Johnson is only the
second coach in Cowboy history. He's got until about 2009
before anyone will think of askin uestions. '
as the whole Canadian Football
League.
What gives Dallas victory in
two out of three Bowls under
Landry is what will give it to
them this time -lotsa guts on the
field and more on the sideline.
I do sincerely wish the best for
the Buffalo Bills. After all, the
curse of the Could-Have-Been's
is a cruel thing to live with.
Just look at ex-Viking Fran
Tarkenton. He ended co-hosting "That's Incredible."
·
It would be a shame to see Jim
Kelly trying to make ends meet
on a B-grade prime-time version of the National Enquirer.
Wishful thinking aside, my
pick for Super Bowl XXVII is
27-7 Dallas. Good luck, Jim.
Bo and Luke wish you well.

Pointers first in WSUC
Second best in NAJA Division 1 ,
by Bob Weigel
Contributor
Justin Freier excites the crowd with a
increase the Pointers lead by two more points
during last Wednesday's game against Mt. Senario
c-.ris Kelley).
The Pointer Men's Basketball
team has earned a number one
ranking in the WSUC, and has
established themselves as the
second best team in the nation at
the NAIA Division I level.
When the Pointers take to the
road they pack along a lot ofluggage.
Included is one of the more
versatile starting lineups in the
nation, which is centered around
seven foot giant Jack Lothian.
Saturday night in La Crosse,
the Pointers unpacked their bags
for what would become just
another night in the WSUC.
Beginning quickly, the unyielding wrath of the Pointers
took its toll on the struggling La
Crosse squad.
After Theo Howard of La
Crosse missed the high percentage slam, the Pointers took off
running 9-0, for a 30-19 lead.
By halftime the scoreboard
burned bright, 49-30.
Freshman Brian Scheche has
proven to be an excellent player
off the bench, as well as a challenge for a starting position.
Justin Freier and Jack Lothian
scored 16 points apiece, as the
game quickly became a
blowout, ending 88-63.
Sean Seeser led all La Crosse
scorers with 19 in their losing
effort.
Earlier in the week, the
Pointers faced non-conference

peared to be the beginning of an
interesting game.
Led by junior Jason Walters,
the Fighting Saints of Mt.
Senario played with the intensity displayed by the Boston
Celtics in the early 1960's.
"Teams come out playing us
as hard as they can," commented
coach Bob Parker.
Hoping to spark a tum-around
the Pointer offense went back to
fundamentals.
With a sudden tum-around
and 8:53 left in the frrst half, the
Pointers went on a 22-5
rampage leading into halftime.
The Fighting Saints soon realized that they would not be able
to hold their. own as the Pointers
took inevitable control.
In the second half, the Pointers
were able to run on cruise control establishing themselves on
both sides of the court. The
game drew to a close, ending
88-69.

Volleyball wins season home
opener ~gainst Eau Claire
by Jason Smith
Contributor
The UWSP Men's Volleyball
team won its season home
opener on Friday night, defeatingUW-EauClaire 15-11,15-9,
5-15, 15-12.
The non-conference match up
left the Pointers at 0-1 in the
Wisconsin Volleyball Conference (WVC), 1-1 in matches,
and 38-26 in overall games.
The loss dropped the Blugolds
to 0-1 on the season.
The Pointers dominated from
the onset, taking advantage of
poor Eau Claire passing and ball
· control.
·
For the Pointers to win, senior
swing hitter Bruce Meredith
needed to have a big match,
which he did.
He recorded 18 kills and bit
.781 for the match.
Freshman Aaron Scheer did a
nice job as his replacement by
passing ; 720 and recording 4
digs.
John Stuve continued his consistent play in the middle,
silencing the Eau Claire middle
. attack.
_ "We needed a good defensive
effort tonight and we got it,"
said Coach Jason Smith.
"It's tough to remain intense
against weaker teams like Eau
Claire, but the guys focused on
what we needed to. Our passing
needs to get better, but for now
I'm happy with a 'W'."
At 9-12 Eau Claire in the 4th
game, Point mounted a tremendous comeback, scoring the last

"Nick Heffling came in and
did a real nice job of short serving (Joe) Pomeroy who is a bad
passer. As a result we got a
number of free balls and I gave
it to the man (Meredith) and he
got the job done," complemented Smith.
An estimated crowd of 37-S
was on hand to enjoy the fes-
tivities, and the Pointers would
like to thank everyone for attending.
The next home match is

As always, admission is free
and the Pointers will give away

UWSP hosts 'Get .to the Point'lnvite
by Mark Gillette
Contributor
The UWSP ·men's · and
women's swimming and diving
team entered the stretch run of
their seaSon at the 'Get to the
Point' Invitational by placing
second and fifth resPectively.
Hosting a big meet with such
high caliber teams like Division
I UW-Milwaukee and UWGreen Bay, Division II St.
·cloud St. and top Division III
school St. Olaf, served as a good
measure l'or Head Coach Red
Blair to see where hes team 'is at
this point of the season.
"I think the men would've won
if Jerry Curtin and Christian
Boyce weren't sidelined. The
women started slow but swam
gOod at the end. With teams like ·
St. Cloud, St. Olaf and Milwaukee competing I dori't think
· we· could've finished much .
higher," said Blair.
"The meet was a great rehearsal for the conference fmals. It
was tougher to make the finals
at this meet than it will be at conference finals."
AheadofUWSP's695.5points
was UW-Milwaukee with 729
points, 32.5 ·points ahead of
.UWSP. Blair believed that a

healthy Curtin and Boyce
would've the Pointers SO additional points and first place team
fmish. St. Olaf fmished a dis-
tant third with 497 points. ·
Finishing ahead of the Pointer
women's 34~ .S points, were St.
Cloud with 803 points, UW~
Milwaukee (711), UW-Green
Bay (694) and St. Olaf (540.50).
First place finishes for the
Pointers came from Juan
Cabrera in the 100 butterfly
(:52.21) and Tim Lehmann in
the 50 freestyle (:21.84).
Jon Wilson was second best in
the 200 freestyle (1:48.27) as
was the 200 medley relay team
of Cabrera, Kevin Gelwicks,
Todd Neuenfeldt and Lehmann,
and 400 free relay team of Lehmann, Wilson, Chas Schreiber
and Neuenfeldt.
For the women, Julie Pausch
placed fourth in the 200 backstroke (2:18.91) as did the 200
medley relay team of Pausch,
Tiffany Hubbard, Nan Werdin
and Amy Hahn.
"Both teams started extremely
slow in the prelininaries Friday.
On Saturday, we came on
strong. I was happy with our effort," added Blair. ·
Thusfar in the season Werdin
and Cabrera (butterfly), Boyce
and Gelwicks (breaststrok~),
Lehmann (sprints), and divers
Jay Stevens, Gina Korakian and
Carl Nilles have qualified for
nationals.
·
Also, the men's 200 medley
relay team has advanced to nationals.
This Saturday, January 30, the
Pointers will return to the Health
Enhancement Center Pool to
compete against the Oshkosh
Titans at 1 p.m.

The Lady Pointers defeated
UW-LaCrosse 76-65 Saturday,
January 23. ·
"We played strong and hard
basketball throughout the entire
game," said Head Coach Shirley
Egner. The Pointers felt LaCrosse's
presence the entire game but
never lost their lead.
"LaCrosse was pesky. Every
time we'd build our lead they
would cut into it. The whole
game followed that pattern,"
said Egner.
The -Lady Pointers will face
UW -Oshkosh Wednesday,
January 27 at 7:00p.m. in Berg

In their fmal NCHA regular
season series at the Willett

team kept its 24 game NCHA
unbeaten string alive with a pair
of wins over Lake F'?fest College. ·
The Pointers, ranked #1 in the
latest NCAA Division Ill West

to Bemidji Minnesota this

top two teams in the NCHA. ·

Kristen Stephen played for 36
minutes contributing 18 points.
Lisa Grudzinski played 36
minutes to contribute 21 points
and eight rebounds. She has
been averaging 20 points a

"We're tied for second in our
conference with Oshkosh so I
want to win."
Egner and her team plan to
take advantage of some mismatches throughout the game.
"We played strong and hard basketball
·.
throughout the entire game. "
Egner continued to comment
on LaCrosse's overall game.
"Oshkosh has a good post
player which we're going to try
and push out to the perimeter.
"I give LaCrosse a great deal
ofcredit as this was probably the
best game I've seen them play
this season."
This will get her out of her
strong position, and will allow
our kids inside," said Egner.
Strong performances for the
Pointers were seen by Julie
Schindler, Kristen Stephen, and .
Lisa Gruidzinski.
"If we tum the ball over and
don't rebound well we won't
win," concluded Egner.

The Pointers took the 1-0 lead
six minutes into the first period
on Todd Passini's powerj>lay
goal and held on for the 3-1 win
in game one of the two game set.
Lake Forest tied things at 1-all
late in period one on Derek
Thede's powerplay goal.
That's how things ended after
one period.
"We were not surprised at how
they came after us at all," said
Pointer Head Coach Joe Baldarotta.
"Even though they are in last
place in th NCHA, in this league
that doesn't matter."
The Pointers jumped op. top
again with another powerplay
goal early in the ~cond period
by Bill Horbach.
This was the senior forward's
frrst goal of ~e season.
The only other score of the
contest came late in the third
period when Paul Voth fired up
a goal from the blueline, despite
being a man down, to produce
the fmal score of 3-1.
"We are very aggressive on the
penalty kill," said Baldarotta.
"When you play the style of
hockey that we do, if you're
going to be successful, you had
better have a good penalty kill."
At the start of the third peri~,
someone had to seep forward
and start the charge for .the
Pointers.
