Representatives from the

Center staff and various other
concerned people about gang
activity on campus at 6 p.m. in
the Nicolet room of the U.C.
Wednesday.
Sgt. Robert Barge, SPPD, and
Deputy Ken Tschudy, Sheriffs

following a gang related breakin December 29 to the University bookstore and the discovery

"Tempest" to take mainstage
"The Tempest" could be
described as a dramatization of
one man's mid-life crisis, says
director Thomas F. Nevins
about his forthcoming production of Shakespeare's comedy.
. The play opens Friday at 8
p.m. and will continue at the
same time on Feb. 20 and 25-27,
and at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 21
in the Jenkins Theatre, Fine Arts
Center.
Prospero (William Bolz of
Baraboo), the Duke of Milan,
accompanied by his young
daughter, Miranda (Kelly Kornacki of Oak Creek), is banished
from ·power and cast adrift on
the sea by his scheming brother,
Antonio (Daniel Kelm of
Oostburg).
Antonio has been plotting
Prospero' s overthrow with
Alonso, King of Naples
(Nicholas Burilini-Price of
Stevens Point).
Prospero, who has studied the
"magic arts," wrests control of a
desert island from a witch. Her
monstrous son, Caliban (Dan
Katula of Brookfield), tries to
seduce Miranda, but is caught
and relegated to slavery.
With the assistance of a spirit
named Ariel (Karl Boldon of
Ontario), Prospero conjures up
a horrifying storm and
shipwrecks all of his enemies on
the island.
Though tempted to revenge
his wrongs, Prospero uses his art
to heal old wounds and bring
about a match between his
daughter and Ferdinand
(Thomas John Houfe of Edgerton), his enemy Alonso's son.
When the story begins, according to Nevin$, Prospero is a
"50- year old neurotic," immersed in his studies and unaware of his impending doom.
Following his overthrow, the
events on the island cause
Prospero to set new priorities
and evolve into a wise and
powerful leader, who vows to

go home again to resume his
rightful role as duke.
"This play has such a wide
range of elements--revenge,
love, hate, magic, politics,
espionage, good versus evil--it
has been open to several diverse
interpretations. With this
production, I have tried to stick
closely to the original story line,
and create a feeling that's not
' musty' but' entertaining and
very human," said Nevins.
He describes his cast, newcomers as well as more experienced actors, as dedicated
and hard-working.

"They came back from break
a week early just to get a jump
on preparing their roles," he
says.

weekend thefts

display case next to the Information Desk and $194 in quarters

Recreational Services.
"We don't know who, we just
know what," Jerry Lineberger,
U.C. associate director, stated
referring to possible suspects.
The theft occurred on Saturday
night somewhere between 11
and 11:30 p.m. right after the
building manager on duty left on
rounds to check the ~ilding.
There are no leads on how the
floral display case was broken
Recreational Services occurred
"somewhere between Friday
and Monday" according to
Lineberger.
"The lock towards the bottom
of the game was cut off with a
bolt cutters and the coin box was
removed," he stated.
Unless you looked underneath
the game, Burling said, you
wouldn't know anything was
missing.
It is believed that a group of
kids stood around the game
while one underneath removed
the coin box.
"Whoever entered the game
knew what they were looking
for," said Lineberger.
"The investigation can only
continue if someone comes forward with a lead in the cases,"
Burling stated, urging anyone
who has any information to
come forward.

Perhaps the largest roadblock
for recycling in Stevens Point
has come to the surface just
recently.
Due to mandatory state regulations coming up in January of
1995, Stevens Point needs anew
rec.ycling facility.
The current facility has the
capacity to recycle those items
that are mandated by current
state laws, or ships them to
where they can be recycled.
Banned
book
reshelved
However, no current facility
has the capacity to recycle the
new items which will be required beginning in 1995.
To help solve this problem the
Portage County Waste Board
proposed the Materials
Recovery Facility (MRFpronounced "murf').
The proposed site for the MRF
was in the Stevens Point Industrial Park.
This is where the problem
came to a head. A number of
businesses in the industrial
park, the largest being Wood-
ward Governor, began to complain about locating the MRF in
the industrial park, due to garbage and environmental concerns.
Woodward Governor even
claimed they would cancel any
planned expansion in the industrial piuk if the MRF was
built there.
Karin Sieg, Education Coordinator for Intra-State Recycling explains, "Basically it's
the old 'I don't want it in my
backyard' story."

The Stevens Point Public
Schoor Board met at Ben
Franklin School Monday night
to decide the fate of the book
!'Anastasia Krupnik."
The book, on a required reading list for 4th grade Stevens
Point ·a rea students, was opposed by many area parents.
Parents of students were allowed to speak first in front of
the filled Ben Franklin
auditorium, followed by concerned community members.
"It is a giant red flag that has .
pulled me out of my complacency," said Leslie Wilson, about
the book issue.
Censors originated in ancient
Rome where they were the guardians of morals and virtue.
They made judgements on
family and private life, along
with conduct of political duties.
They even were allowed to ban
people from public events on
moral grounds.
Herb Smiley organized the
petition to get the book removed
from the reading list. He and
other parents felt the book was
inappropriate to be taught in the
classroom.
"Please do not make it required or recommended reading," pleaded one parent.
Other parents for removing
the book criticized specific incidents int:luding underage drinking, swearing and "subtle casual
condoning of premarital affairs." .
Parents 'against removing the
book were adamant that no one
has the right to censor other
people's children.
"When a book is removed
from a child's access it is plain
and simple censorship," commented one parent.
Another parent said, "Censor
for your own children if you
must."

;Housing to charge
for local c3lls
by Adam Goodnature
Staff Writer
Starting next fall, residence
hall students will be required to
pay for all local calls (as well as
long distance calls) due to a
change in the campus telephone
procedure.
In the past, students have paid
for local calls in advance as part
of the room and board charge,
regardless of the number of
local calls a student made.
Next fall however, students
will be charged accordingly for
each local cau· they make, so
students end up paying exactly
what they owe, not one group
sum.
"In the past, all local phone
calls residence students made
were counted together," Randy
Alexander, University Housing
director explained.
"That number of calls were
then divided up amongst all
residence hall students. The difference . is what each student
paid as part of their board
charge."
University housing has. ·
decided to go with this program
to benefit students, so some students don't pay what they otherwise wouldn't owe in local
phone calls.
According to the Telephone
Support Office, the current flat
rate for local calls is nine cents
per call. Next years rate was unavailable.
The decision was made possible by Ron Lostetter, the campus telephone controller, who
has decided that the telephone
support offiee should give long
distance revenue back to the
telephone company, to benefit
students, staff and faculty.

That loss in revenue given to

Going to the chapel--only alone!
by Kevin A. Thays
Editor-in-Chief
Murphy's Law: Whatever can
go wrong, will go wrong. I ran
to the mailbox the other day
with hopes of fmding a belated
Valentine's Day card. I was
greeted with a card alright--it
was awedding invitation. .
Yes, the air is frigid in Stevens
Point, but the chapel is warm
and the wedding season is
knocking on our doors before
the Valentine's Day flowers are
even dead.
And as you might guess, I'm
not speaking about my flowers
because I wasn't that lucky.
But the Hallmark ·holiday is
nothing in comparison to the ultimate shabang of all shabangs marriage.
.
Saying "I do" is hardly imaginable at this point in my life,
but I realize I am a complete ex. ception. After all, there are
many people who have been
waiting all their lifes just to say ·
these two words.
The closest I've come to
saying "I do" is when someone
asks, "who wants Trident?"
Then I say it twice in a row. The
sad part about it is that I am more
sincere than many grooms who
say the same thing.
OK, by now many of you are
saying, "Kevin, cut the crap."
Therefore I'll take a more rna- .
there is enough seriousness in
the world.
Wedding receptions are full of
funny moments, well at least for
those people who go as couples.
Single people are usually part of
thehumor.
·
There is nothing more
humiliating at a wed.ding reception than tO be a single person
"There is nothing more humiliating at a wed- ·
ding reception than to be a single person who
catches the bouquet or garter." ·
ture approach to the wedding
thing so as not to offend people
who have those big plans for
each other.
Weddings are a happy thing
for most people. They signify
the start of a new life, hopefully
one that is full of love, laughter
and deep friendship.
Love and friendship are very
important because they power a
strong relationship. But let's
not forget laughter because
who catches the bouquet or
garter.
·
I duck when a bouquet comes
my way because I know that if I
catch the damn thing people will
laugh at the r~mote idea of me
being the next to get married.
Let them laugh at the little kid
who catches it.
The dollar dance (you know,
the dance to raise money for the
newlyweds) is also a little farfetched for me. It's just another
pleasant reminder of how little
an editor makes and how lonely
bachelorhood can be. Why else
would I pay a dollar to dance
with a married woman?
I must say, though, that the
food is always good for a single
person. It's free, excluding the
admission price of an appropriate gift (a card is quite
thoughtful, except at my wedding).
And nothing can beat the
chance to jingle a glass. Maybe
that's why the kiss often loses its
spark after marriage--people
like me contribute!
A single person needs to entertain themselves at weddings,
maybe not always at the cost of
other people, but celebration is
what it's all about, right?
Murphy thought he was alright, but he never left us with a
solution to his law. So naturally I've added to it and renamed
it to fit this circumstance.
Kevin~s Law: What can go
wrong will go wrong, but less
will go wrong if you don't worship your mailbox.
Grocery stores brighten·college life
by Lincoln Brunner
Contributor
I hear a lot of comments (some
of them out of my own mouth)
about how drab and dull college
life can become.
This is my third year in a postsecondary penitentiary, and if
I've learned one thing (which is
questionable), it's that sometimes you need to let the entertainment come to you.
So, being low on good cheer
and groceries, I took a drive to
our local County Market on
Monday, not guessing how
many real- life things are just
downright stupid.
I walked along the first aisle,
checking out the sale items,
when I saw that Spam was on
special this week. Only it
wasn't call Spam. Hormel has
the lock on that prestigious
name.
. No, this was a Spam Competitor. It's called "Treet."
Now, gimme a break. What
foolish children are going to
believe their mother when sHe
tries to pass pressed piggy parts
·o ff as a "Treet?"
"Ya, right, lady. If we don't
see a Dairy Queen in four
seconds, we yell child abuse."
Walking down to the real meat
aisle, I caught a glimpse of a sale
on bacon. On the back of the
packages are little fold-up flaps
so you can get a preview of your
pork.
On the side it says, "Lift flap
to view representative slice."
What's a representative slice?
Does each package of bacon
elect their won spokespiece?
How could a piece of nitrateladen fat and meat possibly have
anything constructive to say?
Way over my head.
Right square in the middle of
the store is a display I predict
will be there until at least 2004.
It's a stack of chicken noodle
soup cans about six feet high
and almost as wide. Every
single one is chicken noodle,
too. There's either an insatiable
demand for salty broth in central
Wisconsin, or something very
wrong happened doWn at the ol'
factory.
"You what? I asked for two
chicken bullion cans, you
moron! Not two billion cans!
How do I know what to do with
'em? Send 'em to Stevens
Point!"
I made my way down to the
frozen juice .section, and of
course looked for the cheapest
stuff. What I found is beyond
cheap. It's vile.
Instead of coughing up the
extra 20 cents for real juice,
some people support a market
for imitation breakfast
beverages.
One of these no-juice-added
synthetic atrocities contains
"citric acid to provide tartness
and potassium citrate to regulate
tartness."
I'm telling you. Any mother
that's serving a beverage with a
chemical regulator to keep their
kid's face from puckering to a
fine point needs to look for a
new beverage.
·MILLER·s Point of. Uiew
• • •
If it would have been Saturday, I would have been making
the rounds of the free sample
booths.
There, little old ladies who
know everything about their
. product except its market value
in Bangladesh stand with their
hotplates and steamers, poking
toothpicks into everything from
cajun fire sausage to little pieces
of cheese with caraway seeds in
them. It's great.
Ever wonder why Saturday is
the only free sample day? Because on Saturdays, all the
greedy students sleep until
noon.
By that time, all the
housewives who forgot to eat
breakfast that morning have
brought themselves and their
hungry kids to the store and
cleaned everything up.
Then, the little old ladies don't
have to listen to, "I know this is
my fifth time around, but I real·
ly don't have anything else to
do." Who says college life has
to be dull?

She continued, "The reasom
for the complaints about litter
before were because the old
plant wasn't designed to handle
that kind of ·volume and was
simply too small. The new plant
will be specifically designed for
that volume."
The city council voted on the
proposed site Tuesday night and
decided against letting the MRF
into the Stevens Point industrial
park.
Because the research and planning for the MRF had already
been done for the originally
proposed site, researching and
replanning for a new site means
a significant increase in spending on the MRF.
More importantly, fmding a
new site also means a gr11;at time
delay in building and starting up

where they can blend and mix
in."
Barge, after talking to many
gang members, said that they
love going to the U.C.
"The Recreation Center is a
major hangout for them," he
said. "Nobody gives them
trouble here and it's about time
they did."
Jerry Lineberger, U.C. associate director, asked with concern,
"Do they consider it (the U.C.)
their territory?"
Barge simply replied, "Basically, yes."
Barge and Tschudy feel the
only way to encourage them to
stay away from the U.C. is to
make it as inconvenient as possible for them to stay in the
building.
Asking to see student I.D.'s
was suggested as a possible
solution.
Barge feels however that "no
policy is going to completely
stop it."
This would have allowed for a
whole year before the new state
laws to discover and improve
upon any problems or inconveniences.
(2) students arrested for underage drinking
(2) thefts-personal property
(1) female student reports being harassed
and followed by male student
(1) incident of hit & run to vehicle - Lot Z
(2) vandalisms to state property
(1) theft of state and personal property
taken from UW-Stout basketball team
(1) unauthorized presence in U.C.
The city council is now considering other sites in Stevens
Point which they may offer to
the Solid Waste Board as alternatives.
The Solid Waste Board, on the
other hand is now looking mostly at a site in the Plover Indu's trial Park, rather than
picking an alternate site in
Stevens Point.

make.
·
This can also be a disadvantage to some students who
normally make more off campus phone calls than what is included in the room and board
charge. ·
. Lostetter feels this is a better
and more suitable system for
students, who will now be
responsible only for the local
calls they have made, not for
what they "would've made."

1992 boaters safer
DNR aims for '93 record
State boating safety instructors
are gearing up for a major challenge in the months ahead: how
to improve on the 1992 boating
season, the safest in state his.:
tory.
However, a summary of 1992
boating accident statistics illustrates both significant
progress and room for new initiatives, according to Bill
Engfer, Boating Law Administrator with the Department
of Natural Resources.
Engfer said a 54 percent
decline in accidents involving
personal watercraft played a
major role in improving water
safety in 1992.
_
While personal watercraft,
commonly called jet-skis, account for just one percent of the
watercraft registered in Wisconsin, they have been involved in
20 percent of the boating accidents reported on average over
the last four years.
"Personal watercraft owners
received a strong message last
year when the Legislature approved new laws covering personal watercraft use," Engfer
said.
"It's a good illustration of what
you can do with well-crafted
laws designed to address
specific safety issues."
Engfer added that publicity
surrounding the new law, flyers
mailed directly to personal
watercraft owners, and an aggressive public service announcement
campaign
contributed to the effort's success.
Copies of the regulations
covering personal watercraft
use are available at local DNR
offices.
Engfer was also pleased to note
a decline iri the number of duck
hunters who drowned as a result
· -o f falling from their boats.
Through much of the duck
season, the department aired a
public service announcement
encouraging duck hunters to
wear life jackets.
"If we save a single life by talking about the importance of
wearing a life' jacket, we've
done well," Engfer said.
"It's a message more people
need to hear, especially hunters
and anglers who may not consider themselves bOaters in a
traditional sense," he said.
Engfer explained 14 of the 23
boating fatalities recorded last
year might have been avoided if
the victims had been wearing
life jackets.
Engfer pointed to other department sponsored announcements
focusing on the dangers of
operating a boat without running lights after dark.
A 33 percent reduction in night
boating accidents last year helps
illust!ate the importance of
creative informational approaches, he said.
· "We also tried to shift some of
our boating enforcement efforts
to reflect the increase we've
seen in accidents during eve-
ning hours," Engfer said.
"This has taken some real
dedication on the part of our
wardens and local law enforcement agencies. They should be
pleased with the results," he
added.
The bottom line, Engfer said, is
that boaters are doing their part.
Along with fewer accidents,
boating safety patrols encountered fewer violations in
1992, resulting in 1,000 fewer
citations than were issued in
1991.
This issue is dedicated to the

Archaeologists offer field school
Quackin' up
Thomas Jefferson's forest is dig siteThomas Jefferson's Poplar
Forest and the Division of Continuing Education of the
University of Virginia are sponsoring their fifth annual summer
field school in historical archaeology from June 21 to July
17.
The course, which is open to
college students, history and social studies teachers, and interested adults nationwide is
designed to teach the method
and theory of fieldwork in historical archaeology, and offers
both the untrained and ex·perienced student the opportunity to learn the practical skills
of excavation and recording.
. Fieldwork, which will emphasize Jefferson's landscape
and associated features, is to
take place on the grounds of
Poplar Forest, Jefferson's plantation retreat near Lynchburg,
Virginia.
Students will participate in 40
hours of instruction per week;
with most of that time spent onsite during excavation.
Strenuous daily activity will require physical endurance and
excellent health.

"Weather conditions were

there were a lot of bears visiting

JPreparations made for UWSP's annual Eagle Walk
by Kelly Lecker
Features Editor
Eagle Walkers began preparing for their 200 mile trek across
the state in order to increase environmental awareness.
A group of 27 dedicated environmentalists will spend their
spring break walking from
Stevens Point to Eagle Valley to
raise money for land preservation and endangered species
protection.
Walkers will travel an average
of 22 miles a day in order to
reach their destination by the
end of Spring Break. They will
take with them on this journey
boots, a 15-23 pound backpack
and many blisters.
"It's hard, but if you decide
you can do it, you can," said Jennifer Paust, coordinator. of the
event. "People usually. decide
by the second day whether
they're going to make it ornot."
Participants will depart at 8
a.m. on March 12, following an
elaborate opening ceremony
which will include a visit from
the chancellor and the mayor.
The walkers will travel the same
Brett Mandernack
route as in the previous 11
years.
Town halls, community
centers and church basements
will serve as night shelters
where the walkers can sleep for
the evening. These small towns
through which the walkers pass
welcome the visitors and treat
them kindly.
"Most of the towns provide
meals for us," said Paust.
"Woodman, a town of about 103
people, even gives us a PQ.tluck
dinner, where many of the town
members offer us different
kinds offood."
According to Paust, the group
also eats at many small restaurants and cafes or buys
groceries to eat along the way,
leaving money in the communities to thank them for their
hospitality.
The walkers can only take two
showers on their nine-day journey; although there are sinks at
every stop in which the group
can wash and feel refreshed.
"There is one place with a
swimming pool and a
whirlpool," said Paust. "That's
a favorite stop for the walkers."
.. The fmal destination for the
walkers is the Eagle Valley Na-
.ture Preserve, where the group
will spend approximately 24
hours, getting a -chance to ex-
plore the preserve before retuminghome.

NatiQnally know dancer -and
choreographer Victoria Uris
will discuss her video work and
coach a performance of one of
her pieces this weekend at the
University of WisconsinStevens Point.
. A member of the dance faculty at Ohio State University, Uris
will give a lecture/demonstrationat3:30p.m.,Friday,Feb.19
in Room A206 Fine Arts Center.
Uris will also work with UWSP
faculty member Robin Moeller
and student dancers on Friday
from 6:30 to 9:30p.m., on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. and 5 to
8 p.m., and on Sunday from 10
a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. in
studio 154 of the physical
education building.
Moeller is reconstructing Uris'
"Three on a Match" for the annual Danstage production at
UWSP. All of the events are
open to the public without
charge.
The presentation is part of the
College of Fine Arts Spin-off
Series, "a cross-fertilization for
contemporary thought" involv-ing arts and commUnication students.
Uris' residency is sponsored by
the college, Dean Gerard McKenna, Department of Theatre
and Dance and the Dance Notation Bureau of New York City.
· Uris' "Three on a Match" is
being restaged by Moeller from
a Labanotation score. The work

Virginia Doris.
Like the script of a play,
Labanotation symbols are
recorded on a page so an
original work can be authentically reproduced in other places
at other times.
The scores which contain
directions for lights, costumes,
music, cast, etc. are housed at
the Dance Notation Bureau.
As Moeller reconstructs the
work at UWSP, she will be
checking the notations to find
out how they translate into actual performance and Uris will
monitor Moeller's reconstruction and work with the dancers
when she comes to campus.
Set to music by Bradley
Sowash, the piece explores the
relationships in a dysfunctional
family.
Performing the roles at UWSP
will be Kristanne Deters of

vampire film that treated its subject with respect and refreshing
wit simultaneously, and
"Child's Play" made a tiny killer
effective by knowing how and·
when to not treat the subject too
seriously.
·
Now, with "The Temp" Holland has crafted a fast, frothy
thriller about a secretary from
hell that succeeds in all the same
ways.
.
Lara Flynn Boyle is the temporary secretary assigned to
Tim Hutton during a frantic time
at the dessert company for
which he works. She proves to
be a marvel of the workplace,
organizing his ·office into perfection .and coming up with
smart, money-saving ideas.
Boyle is also aggressively
climbing up the corporate ladder and Hutton suspects she is
knocking her chief competitors
clean off the rungs in the
process.
"The Temp" is willfully trashy
and is more interested in playing
with the audience than telling a
reasonable, coherent story, but
those aspects are exactly what
make it such 'great fun.
An added stroke of brilliance
is establishing that Hutton's
character is recovering from a
series of mental problems that
included nasty paranoia.
So when he begins to suspect
that Boyle is trying to frame him
at one point, the movie invites
us to believe that it's just
Hutton's misperceptions running loose again.
She has since done extensive
research on African literature
and cUrrently teaches a course
.on the subject.
The professor describes
Somali no_velist Nuruddin Farah
as "speaking out in a voice filled
with pain and uncertainty as he
explores the effects of war upon
a young Somali boy and his
people."

traditions
At East China Normal University in Shanghai, China, every
day is a new episode for our
group of seven students from
UWSP and group leader Professor John Messing.
Since we arrived in time for
the Spring Festival (the lunar
New Year), we experienced
first-hand some of the traditions
and customs most cherished by
the Chinese people.
... and all that jazz

taken home for the final
preparation of the New Year's
Feast.
The dinner is an important part
of the celebration. As guests in
a friends home, we soon realized the more we ate the happier
our.host would be.
This wasn't the time to ask if
what we were being served was
cow's stomach, squid, or jellyfish (delicacy of the Chinese
cuisine).
The highlight of the festival
was the explosion of frrecrackers over the entire city at midnight. This is a traditioh that
began as an attempt to frighten
off human-eating monsters.
The University Jazz Band performed for Mardis Gras _last weekend in the
University Center (photo by Karen Mattoon).
"The tradition offestivals emphasizes the
unity offamily, friends and culture."
The Chinese are very proud of
their culture and heritage. ·
Studying the origins of their festivals and being fortunate
enough to participate in the
Spring Festival is the best way
, to understand and appreciate
their society.
The Spring Festival is the most
important celebration in China,
therefore our experiences have
been most rewarding.

Nicaragua Partners right here in Stevens Point
The Central American
regional director of the National Partners of the Americas was,
among the special guests during
the opening of the WisconsinNicaragua Partners of the
Americas state office at UWSP
on Friday, Feb. 12.
Executive Director Sherin
Bowen, a resident of Stevens
Point who was appointed to her
position last fall, staffs the new
office in Nelson Hall, Room
315.
Regional director Barbara
Bloch, Washington D.C.,
partnership representative for
Wisconsin-Nicaragua, attended
as did Stevens Point Mayor
Scott Schultz and university administrators.
"We're really excited to have
the state agency . in Stevens
Point," said Bowen, who has
been involved with the organization for about four years.
"It's a great opportunity to get
local people involved in international development work."
Wisconsin and Nicaragua
· have been sister states for about
28 years, and UWSP has been
actively involved in that liaison
since the mid-1970's.
Stevens Point's partner city in
Nicaragua for the past three
years luis been Esteli, which is
located about as far north of
Nicaragua's capital, Managua,
as Stevens Point is from
Madison, and has a population
of80,000.
Fredman Perez, who is president of the Esteli committee,
also participated in marking the
center's opening. Stevens Point
is one of 14 partner cities in
Wisconsin.
The Partners of the Americas,
a non-profit organization, was
established in 1964 by President
Jolu\ F. Kennedy in an effort to
foster cooperation and understanding between the United
States and Latin America.
It is anon-political private and
voluntary organization/relief
agency which carries out assistance to Central and South
American countries.
UWSP forestry professor
Hans Shabel introduced Stevens
Point to Estell when he visited
the Nicaraguan city three and a
half years ago, and with the help
of Bloch joined the two communities as partners.
Shabel currently serves on the
state's board of directors and is
an active member of the twocities partnership.
As the executive director,
Bowen has set many goals to
strengthen the WisconsinNicaragua relationship.
"I'll be working to establish
more partnerships with other
cities in Wisconsin and
Nicaragua as well as setting up
projects that deal with reforestation and e11vironmental education, " he stated.
Bowen recently returned from
visiting 12 of the 14 cities and
said, "every one of them expressed concern about the
deforestation. We beli~ve we
have the technical expertise in
this area that we can lend to the
south. We have much to gain
from the Nicaraguans as well.
They have a rich culture that our
people need to experience; their
family ties are strong."
While Partners of the
Americas is not a campus organization, there are 10 to 12
students who are participating
in the organization's activities.
"Students are more than welcome to involve themselves,"
Howard said. "The more students, the better."
Former UWSP vice chancellor John Ellery, now of
Stoughton, served on the board
of directors of the organization
for many years. He worked
with several Latin American
universities and governments as

Pointers end regular season at River Falls
Take week off before NCHA Playoffs next weekend at Willett Arena
by Tom Weaver
Contributor
In the final series of the regular
sea,son, the UW-Stevens Point
· hockey team fought off a tough
River Falls team to take three of
four possible points to end the
regular sea8on.
The Pointers, ranked #1 in the
latest NCAA Division III hockey poll, finish the regular season
at 20-2-2 and will take this
weekend off before they start
the post season as the # 1 seed in
the NCHA Post Season Tournament.
UW -STEVENS POINT 3

...z--
The Pointers and Falcons met
up in game one without the worries of playoff seedings and
postseason matchups.
The series was still very important, especially in the eyes of
the NCAA Division III committee that makes the West Region
Poll.
"Without the NCHA receiving
an automatic bid to the playoffs
this season, it was very important that we finished strong
against the Falcons," said
Pointer Head Coach Joe Baldarotta.
Tempers dominated game one
as the two teams combined for
93 minutes in penalties, but they
also played some great hockey.
"This was a great game for the
f.ans, it had a playoff atmosphere
and both teams wanted to win in
the worst way," commented
Baldarotta.
Mike Zambon got the Pointers
on the board with 4:25left in the
frrst period, but the lead didn't
last long as Greg Joyce knotted
things at one just a minute later.
Marc Strapon gave the
Pointers a 2-1 lead at the 3:19
mark of the second period with
a power-play goal, but once
again the Falcons refused to go
away.
Aron Arf tied things at 2 with
a power-play goal of his own.
Sean Marsan spotted the
Pointers their third lead of the
night when he took a beautiful
pass from Jeff Marshall from the
far boards.
The senior winger then slipped
the puck past Ron Gullett for
their 3-2lead.
Brandon Ferraro completed
the third Falcon comeback
when he beat Dave Ketola with
9:30 remaining in regulation.
Neither team could dent the
scoreboard in the final minutes
of the third period, or in the five
minute sudden death period to
fmish the game in the 3-all deadlock.
"Both teams had their chances,
but couldn't take advantage of
them," said Baldarotta.
"River Falls is a good young
team, they just need to take
things a step forward to learn
how to win."

a field goal percentage of 35.
In the second half, the Pointers
shot 40 percent from the floor.
This helped them bring in 38

The junior from Two Harbor's
Minnesota scored a pair of goals
in a span of 1:58 early in the
third period to put the Pointers·
ahead for good.
Frank Cirone added an insurance goal midway through
the fmal period, and the Pointer
defense rode the wait for the
win.
"We treated this weekend like
playoff hockey. The guys
defmitely passed the frrst test,"
said Baldarotta. .
The Pointers officially start
the playoff show next weekend

Swimmers defeat
Wheaton College
by Mark Gillette
Wednesday night, February
17, UWSP's Women's Basketball team came up short against
UW-Whitewater 67-61.
"We defmately had our chances, but we have to learn that
you have to play more than
when you just want to," said
Head Coach Shirley Egner.
The Lady Pointers had a great
deal of turnovers, and just one
offensive rebound in the fust
half.
The second half showed the
Pointers turning things around
and handling their press.
"They played scrappy, and we
played down to their level."
Strong performances were
seen by Lisa Grudzinski with 18
serious blow after two periods.
The Pointers, however, took
over in the fmal stages of the
second period, and the entire
third period, to rattle off four
straight goals for the come from
behind win.
"We haven't been a very good
first period team all season,"
said Baldarotta.
"We came flat and they
jumped on us. That's going to
happen on their home ice."
Brandon Ferraro and Rick Ermenko spotted the Falcons a 20 lead, but the Pointers fmally
got on the board on Sean
Marsan's power-play goal with
just four minutes left in the
second period.
"That was a big goal for us,"
said Baldarotta. "Our guys
were getting a bit frustrated and
they needed a lift. It couldn't
have come at a better time."
Marsan's lift injected the
Pointers with some spirit, and
they came out flying in the third
period.
The biggest recipient of that
boost was Mick Kempffer.
Led by seniors Jerry Curtin
(Beloit), Kevin Gelwicks (Normal, IL), Tim Lehmann
(Sheboygan), Deby Fullmer
(Waunakee) and Tiffany Hubbard (Anoka, MN), the UWSP
swimming team sunk Wheaton
College.
This was the kind of meet
Coach Red Blair hoped would
precede the upcoming conference
championships
February 25-27.
The Pointer men won the frrst
six events of the meet defeating
Wheaton 110 to 91.
The women won only five of
the 11 events, but took those five
convincingly to win 113 to 91.
"Both teams had a great meet,
one that we needed for our confidence," Blair said.
Curtin notched first place in
the 200 individual medley with
a time of 2:04.04,. in front of
teammate Juan Cabrera's time
of2:05.94.
Gelwick's top time of2:14.11

Cabrera, Gel wicks, Curtin and
Neuenfeldt teamed together to

by over 19 seconds with a time
of3:38.87.
While Fullmer did not tum in

time of 2:28.30, good for third
place.

Track competes intensely
by Mark Gillette
Contributor
In one of its tougher meets of
the indoor track season, the
University of Wisconsin Stevens Point track and field
teams competed very respectfully in the Eastbay Invitational.
The men finished first among
10 teams while the women were
tied for third out of 10 teams.
The men were 16 points better
than runner-up UW-Eau Claire.
Men's coach Rick Witt
seemed pleased with the outcome, but sensed that"his team
needed rest.
"We ran well, but not spectacular. I think the team is a bit
tired. I hope to relax a little this
week so they don't get too tired
come conference championship
time in a couple of weeks."
In the track events, Craig
Huelsman performed well for
the Pointers in the 55 meter rare.
He carne in first in the third
heat (:06.72) and second in the
fmals (:06.68), only .10 from
frrst place.
Jeremy Johnson was second in
the 5000 meter with a time of
15:20.0.
Chris Larsen participated in
the 55 meter hurdles and took
second in both the second heat
(:08.0) ~d the fmals (:08.04).
Parker Hansen finished
second in the 200 meter hurdles
and was a part of the 4 x 400
meter relay team of Huelsman,
Andy Valla and Dean Bryan ·
that finished frrst in a Eastbay
Invite record time of 3:22.09.
Blair Larsen carried the men
in the field events with an
Eastbay record 16.20 meter
throw in the 35 pound weight
throw.
In the shot put, he threw 14.09
meters, good for another first
place.
The women tied for third with
UW-EauClaire with 53 points.
"We did not score as many
points (as the last two meets),
but I was very pleased with how
the team adjusted to the inten-
,_,_,_,_,_,.,.,.·.·.·.-.·.·.·.·.
sity and the level of competition," said women's coach Len
Hill.
The only frrst place fmish for
the Pointer women in the fmal
events carne from Jessie Bushman in the 400 meter race.
Her time of :58.79 was a
Eastbay Invite Record.
Debbie Olsen took frrst in heat
one of the 55 meter race with a
time of :07.75.
In the fmals she dropped to
third, despite improving her
time to :07.70.
Mamie Sullivan finished
second in the 1500 meter in
4:47.18, a time Hill said was
"very good for this time of the
season."
Mandy Rasmussen also
notched a second place finish
with a time of 1:41.43 in the 600
meter.
Kaye Darnm and Olsen each
took fifth place in the shot put
(12.60 meters) and long jump

Winning their ·matches for
Point were Poirier at 142,
Carlson at 167, Colin Green (Jr, ·
Westby) at 177 and Ebner at
190.
Even though he lost, Loy
praised Kaltved for his performance in his match.
"Kaltved took his opponent, a
two time all-American, into
overtime. He just did a great
job, ... said Loy.
He added, "Travis Ebner is
really coming along. He beat a
kid who beat him last November
in the Tombstone Open."
With their split this weekend
the Pointers now stand 7-0 in

overall.

"We did not allow excuses to
get in the way. We went out and
played a fme ballgame," continued Parker.
Firing at a blistery 60 percent
from the floor, the Pointers
played with intensity.
Freshman Brad Hintz led the
way with 14. points by shooting
5-9 as well as 3-5 from the line.
