VOLUME. 37 No. 17 FEBRUARY 10, 1994 Students, System debate tuition cap by Collin Lueck News Editor UW System tuition costs rose significantly faster than increases in Wisconsin property taxes over a ten year period, according to a study conducted by the United Council of UW Student Governments (UC). The UC research showed that from 198lto 1991, tuition rose 125 percent compared to a 94 percent rise in the amont of state and local property taxes collected. United Council presented the study to the State Senate Education Committee in January as part of testimony in favor of Assembly Bill33. This bill would cap tuition at 33 percent of instructional cost for in-state student and 120 per- cent for out-of-state students. "Assembly Bill33 is the best public policy to come before the legislature this session. It will signal the UW System that tuition cannot continue to increase faster than educational costs, not to mention property taxes and medical costs," said Ron Sissel Jr., President of United Council. The UW- System opposes the bill because "we think it is symbolic and it has no weight," said Ron Bornstein, UW System Senior Vice Presidnet of Administration. In the event of a state fiscal emergency, tuition would need to be raised, regardless of a cap," said Bornstein. "In the event of a state fiscal emergencey, tuition would need to be raised, regardless of a cap," said Bornstein. "There have been times in the past when this state has had enormous fiscal emergencies. With something as inflexible as [a tuition cap], it doesn't provide for an adequate response," said Bornstein. Bornstein further argues that in-state students are currently paying 31 percent of instructional costs, only a 6 percent increase over what students paid ten years ago and two percent less than the proposed cap. UWSP Chancellor Keith Sanders said he is sympathetic to student concerns over tuition increases but he agrees with Bornstein that a tuition cap is not the answer. "I don't like the idea of an arbitrary cap," said Sanders, "but I do support the idea of trying to keep tuition increases moderate ... and predictable." "We have decided on this campus to hold increase in the fees which we control to about the rate of inflation," said Sand- ers. Tuition hikes reflect not only increases in the cost of living but more importantly a significant decline in the percentage of state funds invested in higher education, said Borndstein. With more state tax support going to other programs such as prisons and health care, a smaller share of state revenue has been made available to education, he said. According to David Stacy, UC Legislative Mfairs director, the tuition cap bill is currently being held up in committe because the committee's chairperson personally opposes the bill and it lacks the support of other Republkan members. United Council is presently trying to gain student support in order to put pressure on sena- tors to back the tuition cap bill. Bornstein said, instead of attempting to cap tuition, students need to convince their legislators that higher educati9n is important enough to warrant greater share of the budget. The bill passed the Assembly last year with bi-partisan support. College Education Costs Comparative Increases From 1982 to 1992 (]) (j) C1l (]) .._ (.) c (]) Ol C1l c (]) (.) .._ (]) a..

Horvath, who was named as a suspect in the August murder of UWSP student Vicki Schneider, has been officially charged with first degree intentional homicide in the case. Horvath, 43, was named as suspect in th~ Schneider case by District Attorney Susan Lynch in November, but no official charges regarding the murder were filed against him until last week. _A preliminary hearing is set for Thursday, February 10. Police executed a search warrant in November to take blood, hair and saliva samples from Horvath in order to compare them with evidence gathered fro the body of Vicki Schneider, 21, who was found dead at the Hwy. 10 Best Western Royale on August 17, 1993. The test results came back negative; however, the investigators received a major break in the case last week when a witness came forward with new evidence. Horvath's 7-year-old son, who said he was with Horvath at the Best Western motel last summer, told a sheriff's deputy that he had seen his father "enter a guest room which was not the Horvath Guest room ... he shortly thereafter heard screams for help from within the room," the complaint stated. Numerous other witnesses ==~ and motel guest registration records have placed Horvath at the Best Western motel the night Vicki Schneider was murdered. Schneider was also registered as a guest at the motel that night. Horvath has previously been charged with sexually assaulting women after promising them "big bucks" in a gambling operation. Officials have evidence that, Schneider was also involved in Horvath's scheme. Warren Luitink, who was involved in a casino gambling scam with Horvath, told authorities that Horvath had .come to know Schneider in July when Schneider and Horvath's wife both worked at the Olympic res- taurant. Luitink said that Horvath had directed him to "get a woman involv~d in the casino scam and specifically directed Warren Luitink to recruit Vicki Schneider," the complaint stated. Luitink stated that he had approached Schneider at the instruction of Horvath and had asked her if she was "interested in making some money," the complaint said. "Vicki Schneider told him that she was interested in picking up some extra cash because she was planning on going to France to study abroad," the complaint said. Luitink stated that he had explained the details of the casino scam to Schneider. Bank records show that on August 12 Vicki Schneider See Horvath page 7 rr;;m;be;e;n~p;re;s;en;t;w;;:he:;n;;:H:;o:;rv;a:;t:;h:;h:;a:;d~~~;;~~~~;;;;;;;;;;;: M>RUAOY 10, 1994 DACE 2 Sexual assault reported on campus \ by Pam Kersten Editor-in-Chief The possibility of a third degree sexual assault was reported to UWSP Protective Services last Saturday evening by a female in South Hall. According to the Director of Protective Services, Don Burling, the report bas been turned over to the Stevens Point Police Department for a "follow-up invesligation." "Third degree (assault) is initiaJiy what this case is classifled," Burling stated, "but the official degree and specific charges will be determined by the police." The Rights and Responsibilities office, responsible for disciplining students, received an anonymous report of the incident this week, according to director John Jury. Howeyer, their office may not be able to take disciplinary action against the alleged perpetrator since be is not a student atUWSP. Another aJieged sexual assault was also reported to Rights and_Responsibilities this week. It was not reported to Campus Security however, so no information is available about the case. Help and treatment for assault victims is available on campus through the Rights and Responsibilities office, Protective Services and the Mfirmative Action office. "The sooner they (victims) start to deal with things, the better," Jury explained. State statutes state that sexual assault is a crime of violence in which assailants, whether known to the victim or not, are motivated by a desire to humiliate and/or exert power over the victim. There are four degrees of sexual assault in Wisconsin. First degree sexual assault is: -Sexual intercourse or sexual contact without consent which causes pregnancy or inflicts great bodily harm, or -Sexual intercourse or sexual contact without consent accomplisbed by using or threatening to use a dangerous weapon, or -Sexual intercourse or sexual contact without consent while aided by one or more persons. Second degree sexual assault is: -Sexual intercourse or sexual contact without consent through the use or threat ofviolence, or -Sexual intercourse or sexual contact without consent which causes injury, including iiJness, disease, or impairment ofa sexual or reproductive organ, or mental anguish requiring psychiatric care, or -Sexual intercourse or sexual contact with a person known by the perpetrator to be unconscious or mentaJiy ill or mentaJiy deficient. Third degree sexual assault is: -Having sexual intercourse with a person without that person's consent. Fourth degree sexual assault is: -Having sexual contact with a person without that persons consent. For information regarding services and support for sexual assault or sexual harassment victims, please contact any of the above mentioned offices. Camps recruit students by Chris Kelley Photo Editor !Jtllllll l The winter seems better suited for an arctic expedition than summer camp. , Over 300 students started their summer job search with camps and amusement parks during the 14th Annual Summer Camp Job Fair Monday at theUC. Directors from a variety of camps, Noah's Ark Waterpark and Six Flags Great America recruited for summer workers from UWSP at 50 displays. "It used to just be camps, but we've opened it up to a couple "The pay is better because they're bigger organizations." Students often look to summer employment for tuition money and spending cash. But camps offer valuable experience working with children in the outdoors as well. Some offer course credit for counseling positions. "Camps don't pay a lot but the experience you can take with you for the rest ofyour life," said Todd Holman from Wisconsin Badger Camp, a summer camp primarily for the mentally disabled. "We hire 50 students to be counselors, activity directors, specialists and kitchen help," Holman said. Camp Pottawatomie Hills, a Girl Scout camp in East Troy, Wisconsin hires about half their staff of30 from UWSP. Many return after their first summer, said camp director and UWSP graduate Wendy "Spunky" Willkomm. "Lot's of people who are hiring used to be students here," said Zach. "A lot of them have gone on to be camp directors.'' Summer camp recruiters say they find some of their best employees at UWSP and that keeps them coming back. Zach attributes it to a good work ethic. "Elementary Education, Wildlife and Environmental Education seem to .be the areas most applicants are from. They really do a good job," said Matt Gibson, assistant director at Glacier Hollow, an environmental camp on Lake Elaine near Nelsonville. Camp directors look for previous experience on a application. Enthusiasm and imagination are also important, Gibson said. "You can take a lesson plan," he said, "but if you have imagination you can give a little twist to it that the kids will really tune into." of parks," said John Zach, career development coordinator with Career Services at UWSP. SGA Update Assembly Bill 259 bas taken a progressive step out of the Joint Finance Committee with two amendments. First, only WI residents or students can legally drink at the age of 19. To avoid the occurrence of border bopping and possible increase in OWls due to border bopping, these students will only be allowed to drink at the age of 19 with either a Wisconsin drivers license or school ID The second concern regarding Assembly Bill 259 is the possibility of Wisconsin losing Federal Highway Funds. US Representative Thomas Petri is currently requesting a waiver from Washington to exempt WI fortbe loss of Federal Highway Funds. Circumstances surrounding this issue are extremely positive and Governor Tommy Tbomp- son stated that be would sign the bill into law i it were passed. This statement is contradictory to last week's reply that Thompson was unsure of what be would do if the bill was passed. If the Federal waiver is not granted, funding may still be worked on if the bill is passed this year. Stan Gruszynski and David Helbach from Stevens Point support AB 259, so student involvement is extremely important, regardless of which position they take. SGA President David Kunze will deliver the State of the University address on Monday, February 14 at 5:00p.m. in the UC Wright Lounge.e ..

Conu Editor rJ The United Council of Student Governments is holding its Second Annual Building Unity Confference at UW-Madison this weekend. The topic for this year's conference is the recruitment and retention of unrepresented students. Multicultural Issues Director Ilgu Ozier feels that this will improve circumstances for students of color. "Basically this conference will try to start providing access to education for all people," said Ozier. "Schools need to have things that appeal to all races, not just the caucasian race." The Building Unity Conference is designed to provide kills, information, and o or- . t'Jon and t o and s tud ent orgaruza 'te d c. II' 'th urn an 10rm a 1ances WI one another. Ozier feels that this is a good opportunity for students to get together and create plans to solve this problem. Several Stevens Point students wiii be attending the confemce. Students from the University Activities Board (UAB), Residence Hall Association (RHA) and Student Government Association (SGA) will attend the conference. Alicia Ferriter, Share Governance Instructor of the SGA said she was disappointed with the lack of interest from multicultural organizations on campus. "We invited several of the multicutural organizations on campus, but we didn't see any mterest, sa1d Fernter. We . Wish we could have seen more interest from our campus. It is a new conference, maybe some people were not well informed." Some of the goals of the conference include forming a coalition of students to become active on this topic and to improve the UW System's recruitment and retention rates. Olzer feels that the conference will be very benificial to students because of the Board of Regents meeting that wiii be held concerning this topic some time this month. "I think it's good timing for the conference since the Board of Regents are going to meet and discuss the design for diversity See Unity page 11 Bring in your. &.vorlte mug up to 16 oz. and fill it for 81..00 w.lth Miller Lite, GD IJght, Genume Draft and Pomt!!!

Would you know what to do? A 2-year-old is choking on a piece of candy cane that she found on the floor. Would you know what to do? Your car hits a patch of ice, skids off the road and the person sitting next to you is bleeding profusely. Would you know . what to do? If your answer to any of these questions is "no," then you need to think about the potential consequences of your ignorance. There's a crisis in America. Due to heart attacks and accidents, each year hundreds of thousands of our lived ones die before our very eyes. And the truth is: They didn't have to die. But two factors were powerful forces. One, as the first link in the emergence medical system, we waited too long to call 911. Two, while waiting for the ambulance, we didn't provide care because we didn't know how. At a time when we are reassessing health care, let's look at one of its critical elements--our role in responding to emergencies. It's easy to point a finger at overburdened emergence personnel. But research suggests that bystander delay in calling 911 is the usual culprit in delayed EMS response. The American Red Cross, the nation's health and safety educator, believes we need to change some of our deadly habits in dealing with emergencies. The Red Cross is currently waging a "Til Help Arrives" campaign to get people to take three simple steps: CHECK, CALL, CARE. Check the victim for lifethreatening signs and check the scene to make sure it is safe, then call 911 or the emergence number in your community. Care for the victim by applying first aid and CPR. Would acting fast and providing care really make a difference? Absolutely! When heart emergencies occur at home, the median time it takes to seek medical care is 12 hours. If heart attack victims could get medical care within two hours of suffering symptoms, we could save a quarter of a million lives yearly, according to a study that appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1992. Why are we having such a hard time recognizing an emergency that threatens a loved one? There's the human factor. We don't want to believe it's true. We think those chest pains are probably just indigestion, and they will pass. But if they've lasted more than ten minutes, research tells us it's probably serious. Why do so many of us resist learning basic first aid and CPR procedures? Again, the human factor. It-a family member's heart attack, a child's chokingwon't happen to us. Unfortunately, the odds are that most of us will encounter at least one life-threatening emergency in our lifetimes when we least expect it. See Help page 7 0 i t'l Preaching Christian views in public By Jason Mortenson Contributor "Fundamentalists! lgnorants! Narrow-minded bigots!" If you 1tave ever used these expressions, it was probably in describing a "Christian"- you know, those people claiming to have the answers to society. The Christian community, like other minority groups who have fought for moral standards, often appear prejudiced and offensive while preaching their seemingly hypocritical beliefs. I can hear you saying, "But why do they have to go around preaching? Why can't they keep it in the churches, where it belongs?" The truth is, if Christianity were sincerely something restricted to a stained glass structure for sermons, evil would be suffocating (and egocentrism starving) society. Think of how Christians established Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, recreation organizations (like the YMCA), the Salvation Army, World Relief and nearly every hospital in the country. All these actions, at some point in everyone's life, express the Christian's love for fellow humans that is continually ridiculed. People initiated these actions, people too ignorant to recognize social problems, people to arrogant to practice what they preach ... Interestingly, though, Christians don't accept much credit for such actions. (Let's face it, how many people know that all the mentioned organizations were established by Christians?) They aren't even discriminative--loving only fellow Christians. Must one be a Christian See Christians page 7 MILLER'S POINT OF VIEW nBOUL\QY 10, 1994 PAGE 5 Bias editorial Dear Editor, This response is inspired by an editorial from the January 27 Pointer on pro-lifers by the Sports Editor, which disclosed a disturbing bias for an editorial. To infer that pro-lifers are harassers and bombers is like saying Olympic aspirants attack and remove their competition by brutal means. The pro-life movement-from the beginning--has been peaceful, prayerful and compassionate to the woman seeking an abortion and her unborn child about to be destroyed. There is also a radical element in the pro-abortion ranks that I know does not speak for all pro-abortion people. They harass, threaten and physically assault those prolifers praying peacefully at the abortuary. This creates a melee that the media then blames on the pe_aceful pro-lifers in attendance. The major movers and leaders of the pro-life movement condemn violence, hate mail and bombers from any source. We can not control them and their choice, nor can we control the violence women wreak on themselves and their children by choosing abortion. We do try to inform the whole public of the facts hidden by those who think abortion is the best choice and valid for any reason and who profit by abortion. The millions of pro-life people, those active and those who quietly make pro-life difficult choices, have been doing what Mr. Brunner thinks would "make abortion look like the less desirable option" from the beginning. In Wisconsin alone, I've seen a count of 7 homes for unwed mothers, 68 Crisis Pregnancy Centers, countless adoption agencies and many support groups for women exploited by abortion who've learned abortion is not a problem solver but can cause more serious physical or mental problems. Did Mr. Brunner evaluate the local volunteers at Birthright which advertises in The Pointer? Or those women who opened and manage First Home In Whiting? All pro-lifers cannot put their lives at the disposal of women in crisis (of whom many are harassed by their boyfriends to "get rid of the evidence") but many pro-lifers do, in the way each can. Mr. Brunner, there are alternatives to abortion. Will you help publicize them? I am a pro-lifer grandmother of some wonderful children born "too soon". Avis Pings (344-3581) Golden rule Dear Editor, I am writing this in response to Mark Morse's letter to the editor entitled, "Pro-life Persecution." I am a Christian and also prochoice. Yes, Mr. Morse, there are Christians who are also firm believers in the First Amendment. I didn't appreciate that you took the liberty of speaking for all Christians, nor your patronizing, self-righteous "God loves everyone, even pro-choicers" comment. Quite frankly, I wasn't convinced that you are, in fact, a Christian.

I would like to remind the Christian pro-life movement of one important fact: This country was founded on an ideal of the separation of church and state. If your religious beliefs are that abortion is not morally correct, that's fine. Practice your morals with your own life. But please don't impress your religious beliefs upon myself and others. Your pro-life stance makes you guilty of the very crime you accused Mr. Brunner and The Pointer of committing: forcing YOUR beliefs on others, namely that abortion should be illegal because that is what your. religion mandates. The idea of Christian persecution in America is simply hilarious. It appears to be exactly the opposite. Christianity was used as a justification for decimating hundreds of thousands of Native Americans. The Native American religions and cultures were considered "inferior'' to Christianity and European culture. On the basis of this perceived inferiority, it was permissible to steal their lands and kill them. Christianity was also used to support slavery in this country until the Civil War. It bas been the Christians who have perse- c::=::==:> £ventntJ ~tt Yes, we deliver! \:Vatch ior our have gotten so crazed with biblical hoopla that you overlooked the most fundamental aspect of Christianity-The Golden Rule. If you really· want to live closer to God, get off your moral high horse and take a good, long look around! Don't be so pompous as to think that just because a person is pro-choice, that he/she has no moral standards and is less of a Christian (or person). That's simply not true. In the words of Mother Teresa, "If you judge people, you have not time to live them." Furthermore, your claim that the only reason that the R.I.C.O. Law was passed was a a means of persecuting Christians is possibly the biggest crock that I've ever heard. I seriously doubt that this issue would have made it to the highest court in the land had it merely been "allegations" of violence against these women. Wake up and smell the coffee, Mr. Morse!

On the weekend of her death, Schneider bad told friends that she was going gambling but would not tell them with ~hom she was going. The complaint stated that Horvath induced Schneider to meet with him at the Best Westem "where he intended to take sexual advantage of her." "Ms. Schneider refused Mr. Horvath's attempts to involve her further in the casino scam and withdrew from such fraudulent scheme, at which point Mr. Horvath attacked her and intentionally took her life by asphyxiation," the complaint said. Horvath is currently facing 11 other charges in Portage County, including sexual assault, forgery, theft and child abuse. Nine of the charges against Horvath are felonies. On March 1 he will go to trial on counts of attempted second degree assault, two counts of child abuse, and the misdemeanor charge of battery. Horvath's criminal record dates back to 1970 when he was convicted of writing bad checks in Michigan. He was sentence to five years in a Michigan prison for forgery in 1970. He has also served prison sentences in the state of Washington for theft, tampering with a witness, and escaping from prison in 1979. The criminal complaint observed that "throughout the defendant's criminal history a method of operation which -the defendant concocts schemes, scams and plans with the intent to motivation of procuring money or sexual gratification at the expense of his victims."

Their mission statement reads as follows, "The UW System Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Issues Network is a group of UW System faculty, staff, and students committed to working, through education and advocacy, for the recognition, equality, and inclusion of lesbian, gay and bisexual people in all areas of the university community." Representatives from each I.!W campus, totaling 60-70 J>eople (not all gays, lesbians, or bisexuals) will be in attendance. Trevor Ilk, co-president of the 10% Society, said he expects a really diverse group because issues that will be discussed at the meeting affect all people in the UW System. "It's a good way for all UW System LGB groups to compare notes ... " UW--Oshkosh hosted the LGB Issues Network last semester and it proved to be very effective. Discussion subgroups were formed to consider many issues and a sharing among campuses took place. Discussion topics include the importance oflanguage on campuses, creating healthy climates on campuses for homosexuals and bisexuals, and curriculum policies, to name a few. Andrea Turner, special assistant to the chancellor for affirmative action and equality, will speak on a number of issues as well, such as he'!lth care and discrimination in the work place. She said she hopes to illicit · response and spark interest on many issues and address them. Turner added that she hopes to learn more about the concerns among the LGB population "It's a good way for all UW System Lesbian, gay, and bisexual groups to come together and compare notes on things that have been effective on other campuses," said Ilk. The network hopes to meet once or twice a semester to attain its goals.

Gerard Depardieu makes his third major English speaking film with "My Father, the Hero." Actually it could be entitled "My Father, the Man Who Puts Up with All of My Dangerous Lies." In the film, Depardieu attempts to get to know his daughter again while the two of them vacation in the Caribbean . Little does he know that his daughter (Katherine Heigl) has conceived a lie in order to impress a local boy. The big lie is that Depardieu is not actually her father, but her lover. When the island hears of this they begin treating him as if he is a dirty, old man. Of course, Depardieu is unaware of his daughter 's charade and does not understand why the rest of the tourists treat him like a sickness. This sets the story up for many over-used insults and, ironically, the fu iest scene in the movie: a d innocent Eventually caught in her lie, Nicole (Heigl, right) begs her father (Depardieu) to go along with charade.

See Movie page 10 Stu ent ads air on MTV by Michele Firkus Contributor UWSP advertising students wrote, directed, and starred in two 30 second commercial spots currently appearing on MTV. The ads, which feature deadline entry information for the 1994 ADDY Awards, were produced by four members of the student chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF). Laren Larson, AAF president, who starred as an ice fish- erman in one spot was surprised by the MTV premier. "I really didn't expect to see it get so much airplay," Larson stated. "Suddenly, people started calling me up saying I was on TV." Working without financial backing, Larson, along with three other AAF members received technical support from Crown Cable, Wausau, including camera and editing equipment access.

The plot doesn't bum any brighter in the film "Intersection". Here, Richard Gere's life flashes before his eyes as he speeds towards a probable automobile accident. The audience sees his memories and is expected to care about what the outcome of the accident will be. Unfortunately, his life is seen as one holding little to care about. After flashback (and several times, flash-backs within flashbacks! Is that possible?), an accident is wished for. If only to end it all. The pieces of life seen are those ofVmcent Eastman (Gere), a successful architect who is in a tug-of-war between his estranged wife, Sally (Sharon Stone) and his girlfriend (Lolita Davidovitch). The film goes back and forth between the two women showing Eastman loving one and hating the other, then hating one and loving the other. His emotions switch off and on like a light. Stone is miscast as the coldhearted Sally. Do not expect the ~'Basic Instinct" Stone here. She is almost comatose in comparison. It's not difficult to see her holding back in this film. Davidovitch's Olivia is the most likable of the three. Her scenes tend to be more watchable than others. Expect for those that feature Martin Landau in a very under-used supporting role. A little more Landau would have gone a long way. "Intersection" tries to be a strong, emotional picture about mistakes, decisions, and love.

Their largest gig was performed Thursday, February 3rd in the UCEncore. In the pre-concert minates, Owen L. Sartori strummed his acoustic guitar critically Cit the amplifier, listening for a precise tone. Patrick Connaughty sat cross-legged picking the strings ofa velvet-covered electric. Gina Jackquart quietly fine tuned her bass as Nathan Kilen kicked and crashed at the drum kit. Chris Hankes, who performs extra· percussion and backup vocals for the band, arranged his pads, chimes and cymbals. Ten niinutes later, the room was alive. Cheers and applause filled the Encore as PUSH took the stage. "A lot of friends and family are coming to see the show. I just hope I can perform," said Sartori, preparing to sing lead vocals. The performance was musically tight and well rehearsed. The audience was absorbed in the cascade of 22 flowing songs, 11 ofwhich were from the debut album "Breathe." Sartori explained that in nearly two continuous hours of music, PUSH played "as a complete band for the first time." Jacquart and Connaughty, the band's newest members, added a kind of energy to Kilen's creative drumwork and the innovative songwriting framework already set by Sartori. The extra percussion by Hankes completed a full sound many bands lack-onstage. The crowd was visibly won over. PUSH's next performance is March 5th in the Larid Room of the University Center. They will be performing with the other bands in a benefit to help the homeless. On March 18th, the band will appear in Madison at "The Chamber." the GE Classic MasterCard® offers students this unequaled package of beneRts. 99 0l The GE Classic MasterCard is the educated choice for students looking for smart ways to save.

Tonya Harding. Michael Jordan. Two names seen together about as often as Moe, Larry and Pope John Paul II. Lately, though, both have been saiJing a sinking boat in the rough waters ofreaJity. Watch out, campers. The S.S. PlausibiJity is about to dock at Davy Jones' Locker/Marina. Michael Jordan's chances of making the Chicago White Sox roster have run the gamut of reviews, aU the way from "Bet the fann on it" to "They'd sooner play Roseanne Arnold." Jordan on Monday signed a contract to play AAA baH for the Sox for less money per month than he made per day playing for the Buns, in-season or out. As silly as the vision of Jordan hacking at curveballs is, Harding's plight makes Michael's look Jike sipping ice tea poolside. This Jittle woman just doesn't attract trouble. She doesn't just make it either. She's become a thesaurus entry for deep, abiding controversy, the kind usuaHy reserved for Third World dictators and Oprah Winfrey. Harding deserves credit, though. She's managed to shun the press but get everyone to disJike her anyway. The PR office at Chernobyl wouldn't take this one (Thank you, no. Nudear accidents are one thing. We don't do abject stupidity. Thanks for calling, though). The funny thing is, Jordan was almost in as big an image pickle over his ·gambJing habits. But he was only hurting himself, not attempting to turn his opponent's knee into chop suey. If Harding was smart, she would do what Michael did. Admit her guilt, say she's sorry in a round -about way and move on. Then look for a reaUy good resume consultant. But not this. AU the staHing and posturing and prepared statements in a Jifetime wouldn't change the fact that she was probably in the room at least once when her Jive-in ex-husband (what's with that?) was saying the words "Kerrigan" and "maim" in the same breath over the phone. Jordan couldn't gamble enough cash away in Vegas to get Harding's bad press. He'd have to hold with a pair of three's at the blackjack table to look half as dueless. Nonetheless, both these young pilgrims are in over their heads. Jordan, however, toils amid the safety of riches, popularity and easy practice pitches. Harding can only hope her past skeletons and present band of cronies don't convince the U.S. Olympic Comr·:ttee she's jail bait. Good luck, Tonya. Happy swinging, Michael. And go easy on us. The stories are already too good to be true. Taekwando club kicks into gear If you are interested in selfdefense, self-discipline and a way of exercise, see about signing up for a Taekwondo dass. Then join the newly-formed UWSP Taekwondo Oub. The dub is in its second semester as a recognized student organization. Its purpose is to provide practice programs, opportunities to take part in Taekwondo tournaments, and to encourage Taekwondo participation for sprort, exercise, feUowship, selfdefense, and self-discipJine. Two things accompJished last semester were getting a punching/kicking bag set up in the Taikwondo room, and purchasing original UWSP Taekwondo Oub jackets. Planned projects this semester indude raising money for Taekwondo equipment, gasoJine expenses for tournament travel, and for the establishment of Taekwondo invitational tournament within the next year. The second general meeting wiJI be on February 23 in the wrestling room in the Phy Ed building.

In the men's competition, the Pointers not only beat LaCrosse 154-76 but also dominated the meet, taking first place in every event except the 200M individual medley and 200M breast stroke. Rudy Hein had a marvelous day and lead the way for the Pointers, taking first place in the lOOOM freestyle, 200M butter- fly, and 500M freestyle. Other first place finishes were John Wilson in the 200M freestyle, Tod Neuenfeldt in the 50M freestyle, and Craig Wollschlager and Dave Benz in diving. Sean Murphy captured first in the lOOM freestyle, and Ben Eley took the 200M backstroke. The 400M medley relay team of Mike Kramp, Christian Boyce, Neuenfeldt and Jesse Moen took first place over LaCrosse by eight seconds. The 400M free relay team of Dave Linden, Scott Annstrong, Sean Murphy and Jay Buckmaster also took first place. The women lost to the Eagles 105-137, but took four first place finishes. The 400M medley relay team of Julie Pausch, Jamie McMiiJan, Nan Werdin and Amy Hahn took first place with a time of 4:15.71. Nan Werdin also took first in the 200M butterfly. Dauffenbach had an outstanding day taking first in the diving events.

UWSP vs. UW-Oshkosh The Pointers (11-7 overa]], 55 in conference) started off strong, scoring six unanswered points before the Titans (10-7, 3-6) could finally respond with a bucket of their own. Armed with hot hands, Stevens Point was deadly from aU areas of the floor and eventuaUy built their lead to 10 after Brian Schwechel nailed a shot from the left baseJine with 10:26 remaining. Oshkosh didn't give up, but the Pointer offense was too strong, and Stevens Point increased their lead to 13 as Tom Sennett drained a three-pointer with 6:51 left in the opening half. The Titans came right back, however, and found themselves only down by seven, 38-31, at the dose of the half. The second half, surprisingly, ended up being a battle, but one wouldn't have guessed it early on as Point continued their onslaught over Oshkosh, building their lead to twelve after a turn around jumper by Schwechel with 11:11 to go. That's when the Titans decided enough was enough, as Oshkosh slowly chipped away at the supposedly insunnountable lead and actually took the lead 64-63 with under 5:00 to go in the game on a Mike Dahlquist jam, which ignited the 1300 Pointer faithful in attendance. Andy Boa rio was the leading scorer for Stevens Point, pouring in a game high 23 points, while Schwechel added 19 and Dahlquist 11 for the victorious Pointers. see Men page 21 nBQUt\QY 10, 1994 PACE 17 Wrestling team cranks out Hockey team road win-at Parkside 18-16 swipes crucial top-ranked NAIA team, gave the Pointers something to Sports Editor squirm about with tough showChalk another one up for the ings in every weight class.

The team heartbreaker last Wednesday to UW-Oshkosh, 72-64, before pounding UWPlatteville on Saturday, 93-75. UWSP vs. UW-Oshkosh The Pointers (9-10 overall, 55 in conference) rna tched up we with the Titans from top to bottom-except for one major category, free throws. Oshkosh drained 17 out of 22 from the stripe compared to only 5 of 6 for Stevens Point. "I think we outplayed them in every category or played even with them except for the free throws," UWSP bead coach Shirley Egner said. "The bottom line is they shot more free throws than we did and that's why we got beat. It was the difference of the game." The game was an even battle the first half. The Pointers never fell behind by more than six points, and eventually came back and trailed Oshkosh by a scant three, 31-28, attbe half's close. The second half remained a nip and tuck battle despite numerous attempts by the Titans to pull away. Stevens Point refused to die and trailed Oshkosh by only 2 points with 3:25 to go. Oshkosh wouldn't be denied, however, and sealed the game at the line, hitting four straight free throws to beat the Pointers 72-64. "The final score isn't indicative of bow we played because we bad it to two with three minutes to go in the game," Egner said. "It was a great game and could have gone either way. I felt we played them tough." Lisa Grudzinzki led the way for Stevens Point with 22 points and 11 rebounds while Savonte Walker added 10. UWSPvs. UW-Piatteville It's bard enough for a team to come back after a tough loss to a conference foe, but it bas to be even harder to come back after your starting point guard decides to withdraw from school. Faced with that grim reality, the Pointers came out and dominated the game from start to finish, and obtained some much needed confidence for themselves. "We had a little adversity on Friday because Gretchen Haggerty withdrew from school, Egner said. "Practice Friday night was a little tense. It was kind of like_we were walking on egg shells." "I was devastated by it. I had no idea it was coming." .

After Mercyhurst tied it late in the period on a score from Jon Johnson, Mick Kempffer, Frank Cirone and Tyler Johnston put the Pointers ahead for good, 41, with three straight second-period goals. Pat Bogen and Jason Glaesmer added a goal apiece in the third while Cirone plugged his second of the night. Mercyhurst managed a single score at the top of the period to counter. by Lincoln Brunner Sports Editor Realizing what a long strange trip it's been, UWSP hockey coach Joe Baldarotta is grateful his team isn't dead. The Pointers, fighting to gain momentum as the regular season condudes, swiped a twogame set 7-3 and 2-1 from Mercyhurst College (Penn.) to stay in the hunt for the National Collegiate Hockey Association crown. "This kind of series showed me what kind of guts this team bas," said Baldarotta. "You're not supposed to go into somebody else's barn and do that. We needed to survive and we came out on top." Stevens Point 2 Mercyhurst 1 Mercyhurst turned the heat up on the Pointers Saturday night as the teams went into the first break scoreless. Point kept the goose-eggs ro11ing Mercy hurst's way in the second period while Mike Zambon put them on top with a goal off Paul Voth and Cirone at the 16:26 mark. With Gord Abric back on the ice after a Friday night break, the Pointers kept up with Mercyhurst's physical play and went on top to stay in the third with Jason Glaesmer's goal at 10:09. "I thought they out-hit us a couple of periods," said Baldarotta. "They play a lot of tough Division I schools. ,They knocked us around quite a bit." With the NCHA lead up in the air going into this weekend's showdown with Eau Claire and Stevens Point 7 Mercyhurst 3 Never mind the odds. Though four key players warmed the couch back home as another sat the bench, the Pointers slapped Mercyhurst for seven goals Friday night as they bettered their record to 14-6-2. With big hitters Brian ldlaski, Kevin Plager and Rich Teece absent, Point kept the net full to counter Mercyhurst's physical game plan. "They were a great team," said Baldarotta. "To win without those guys is pretty impressive. I'm really happy with the way we played." Andy Faulkner, seventh on the NCHAscoring list, was also missing, forcing the Pointers to spread the scoring load.

"It is important that students get informed and go before the board and fight for this cause." Ferriter also feels that the conference will be beneficial to those who attend. "This is an extremely important issue on all campuses. It's a fun. and productive meeting and I think that people who attend will definitely benefit from . this conference," said Ferriter.

Track and field teams sprint to an impressive season home ope~er . . by Michelle Schmitt Contributor It was an exciting day in the Health Enhancement Center at UWSP this weekend as the track season got off to a great start. The men started the year out with a first place finish in a field of six schools at 2SO 1/2 points, followed by Carthage College's 106 1/2, Luther's 102, Michigan Tech's 4S, Ripon's 30 and St. Norbert's 27. The Pointer men looked extremely strong and took first place in 12 events. Parker Hansen helped lead the Pointers, winning the men's 200M hurdles and placing second in the men's SSM hurdles. a t1me of2:14.77. The Pointers finished second with 199 behind Luther with 239. Rounding out the finishers were Carthage's 70, St. "This was a great way to get the season started. We had a lot of good perfonnances from a lot of people" -women's head tmck coach Len Hill Jeff Leider also contributed with a win in the 3S lb. weight and a second place finish in the men's shot put. In women's action, a school record was set by Jessie Bushman in the women's 800M with Norbert's 31, Michigan Tech and Ripon. "This is a great way to get the season started," said Women's coach Len Hill.

"We've got to go undefeated now," said Baldarotta. "We could go as high as winning the NCHA to as low as fourth." "We've got to get on a roll. It's book or crook now. The only thing that matters now is sur, viving the Super Series match, 'like in pro wrestling," said Baldarotta "While I don't like making predictions, and I won't, but I like our chances." Wrestle continued from page 17 18 points and the win, despite a 6-1 loss by heavyweight Brian Suchocki. "I thought we wrestled very well tonight," said Loy. "We knew what we had to do and got it done. There are many ways to lose close to duals. Tonight our team found the ways it takes to win one." The Pointers wrestle Augburg and St. Thomas College back to back this weekend in Minneapolis before heading to Oshkosh on Feb. 18 and 19 for the WSUC Championships. Men continued from page 16 UWSP vs. UW~Platteville If the first shot of the game is any indication of bow a game is going to go, then the Pointers knew they were going to be in for a long night after Platteville's Tim O'Connell nailed a quick three-pointer to put the Pioneers up 3-0. Point answered with a jumper by Schwechel, but that's where the Pioneers took off, eventually finding themselves up by twelve, 18-6, in front of 2,250 frenzied Platteville fans. The Pointers didn't flinch, however, and roared back with eight unanswered points, capped off by a Tom Sennett three-pointer, to cut the Pioneer lead down to four, 18-14. Platteville quickly thwarted the Pointer run and went on a run of their own, eventually building their lead to 14 with 7:25 to go in the first half. Stevens Point couldn't get any closer than six for the rest of the half and found themselves down by eleven with 34 seconds to go before Sennett drilled another three at the buzzer to cut the Pioneer lead down to eight, 43-35. The Pointers shocked the Pioneers to start the second half with an 11-0 run that put them up 46-43. Platteville didn't break, however, despite the Pointers holding on to the lead for almost nine minutes. Again it was O'Connell who gave Platteville the boost it needed as he drained another three-pointer with 8:19 to go in the game. It was a see-saw battle for the rest of the halfbefore Platteville finally took the game into their own hands and turned back the Pointers, 84-76. Boario again led the way for Stevens Point, scoring 23 points. Schwechel and Sennett each added 18 with Schwecbel pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds.

The second half was a much closer battle, but the damage had already been done as Stevens Point wan 93-75. "The kids went out and played extremely well," said Egner. "They played with emotion and just did a wonderful job. "Everybody stepped up and answered the call without having Haggerty in there. I was really proud of them." Five Pointers were in double figures with Gruzinski leading the way with 22 points while Lucrecia Burleson added 19 and Julie Schindler 17.
