Students will be able to dance
the night away for free at the
new dance club on campus.
Aftershock will be opening
to students on Tuesday, Feb. 22
at 9:00p.m. in the UC--Encore.
Aftershock is a pilot project
which wilhun every Tuesday for
the rest of the semester.
It is sponsored by the University Activities Board (UAB),
Residence HAll Association
(RHA), WWSP and the University Center (UC).
Mark Zirbel, the supervisor of
Program Services, feels that this
is a good opportunity for students to get involved.
"RHA came up with the idea,
and what we did was get some
organizations together. Each of
the oranizations have their own
part in it. Other students who
are interested in this concept are
welcome to get on the planning
board and share their ideas,"
said Zirbel.

Legal adults should
be treated equally
By A.J. Hawley
Typesetter
PBRMEASAP!
Within recent months there
have been many concerns about
the lowering of the drinking age.
Some pro, some con. The
question here is why shouldn't
all legal adults be treated
equally?
As a child growing up, I was
told that you should treat all of
your fellow peers equally and
fairly.
'
Share your blocks, everyone
gets the same amount of milk and
crackers and no one gets more
play time than anyone else.
Now that I am a legal adult, it
seems as though·some adults are
getting more 'play time' than me.
And I want to talk to the teacher!
Squeeze me, but I don't think
all is right down at the ranch. I
have waited a long time to be
able to do everything that was
prized as an adult.
And now, when I finally
reached the goal line, poof-tbey move it back another 3
yards;
At the age of 19, I can vote
and die for my country. I can be
married without my parents' consent. All of this can be done
before I have my first bottle of
beer.
Which also means at my wedding reception, I would not be
able to have a single sip of wine.
- Right now there is no place
that a person between the age
of 19-21 can go and feel accepted.
Locally, Bruisers, promotes
Wednesday night as Non-Alcohol College Night. Or is it?
In the community outside of
UWSP, Wednesday night at
Bruisers is promoted as Teen
Night. 'Now which is it, Teen
Night or College Night?
We are out of high school and
believe us--we don't want to go
back.
So now where do we go?
There are those people who
say, "What about the blood borders? We'll have people cross-
ing from Minnesota and Illinois,
all wanting our beer. Then beading back home only to die in a
car wreck."
The way that Assembly Bill
259 stands right now, you would
need a valid Wisconsin drivers
license or school identification
to be able to drink.
This would not only stop the
possibility of 'blood borders' but
also avoid the increase ofDWI's.
The next part to this controversy is, FACE IT, WE'RE
GONNADOIT ANYWAY!!
I don't know bow many parties I have been to or beard about
where there bas been underage
drinking. The problem here is
that, a lot of the time this goes
on unsupervised.
People get burt, do things they
nonnally wouldn't have under
controlled circumstances and
drive while intoxicated.
If drinking at 19 were to become legal, there would be control over what happens.
You don't bear as much of
people getting to a blood alcohol percent so high where they
pass out in the cold snow bank,
only to lie there overnight and
die after drinking at a bar.
At some parties you pay a
certain amount to get in and you
get all the free beer you can
drink. Like every good shopper,
you want to get the best deal
you can get.
So you end up drinking as
many beers as you can within
the first hour or two of the party.
A lot of 19-21 year old people
who are nonnally law abiding
may end up with a record because of the fact that they are
not being treated equally among
their peers.
When a 19 year old drinks,
they are breaking the law. Why
should something so trivial be
the only offense against that
person?
If AB 259 does not pass, I
think the 'teacher' should reevaluate the fairness of who's
getting more play time. Or
sbou ld I say Miller time...

Justice overlooked in ·-liiiiii~ii
area pubtic official case
By Richard Waldvogel
Typesetter
Has justice been served in
Stevens Point?
One should ask themselves
this question when pondering
the case of Stevens Point Detective Anthony J. Piotrowski, who
was charged with cocaine possession and theft last Wednesday.
Mr. Piotrowski was sentenced to two months in jail (not
prison), and fined a whopping
$250 for stealing $10,000 worth
of cocaine out of an evidence
locker.
Piotrowski resigned from his
law enforcement position but
bas asked to be kept on as a
jailer in Portage County.
How would one convicted of
possessing cocaine feel being'
sent to jail to find be is being
guarded by a man who was not
only convicted oftbe same crime
as himself, but was probably responsible for sending him
there?
·
To make matters worse, why
did District Attorney Susan
Lynch take 19 days to report the
incident to Sheriff Ron Borski.
Portage County may not be free of crime, but I doubt if any
other criminal activities would
have mandated over two weeks
of deliberation before taking the
matter to the proper authorities.
What message are we sending to the members of our community when a person takes an
oath to "serve and protect" then
is found to be guilty of the same
criminal activity that be spent 19
years trying to stop.
There may have been "special" circumstances leading up
to this event, yet this does not
excuse Mr. Piotrowski from being prosecuted to the full extent
oftbelaw. Don'tdotbecrimeif
you can't do the time.
People are getting sick and
tired of seeing public officials
walking away from serious convictions with a slap on the wrist.
What is the sense of imposing strict drug laws when we fail
to prosecute those who are
guilty of breaking them.
Is this the way that our justice
system should operate? Is it
fair? Has justice been served?

"Greek" fun
Pick up applications In the Pointer office
room 104 CAC beginning
Monday February 21st
Applications due March 7, 199
Dear Editor:
Picture it; a large house with
Greek letters on the front. Loud
music blares from within as guys
and girls drape themselves on
each other while drinking
heavily.
The girls probably all look
alike, and the guys are out for
one thing; most likely none of
them are here for an education.
This is the image I had of sororities and fraternaties before I
came to UWSP. I was very
scared about moving on to a
wing of sorority sisters. I was
not expecting to fit in at all.
I tried to meet the girls with
an open mind, and get know them
not as "Greeks", but as people.
I had no intentions of joining a
sorority- I was not the type. But
I began to be friends with the
women on my wing.
Tobi was a trusting & caring
person who lived down the hall,
she read bedtime stories to the
wing and volunteered her time
to many charitable organizations.
Laura, my neighbor, was a
French major who was very active in SGA and Philosophy
Club. My roommate Felecia inspired me to study- she's a German/International Studies majot
who just back from a semester in
Germany.
I began to really respect and
come close to all these people,
but still had no intention of
pledging. However, I decided to
go to a rush event (for free Belt's
ice cream).
It was there that I met othet
active members and the othe1
rushees; and observed the
friendships that had developed.
It was then that I decided to
pledge Phi Omega sorority.
Another stereotype that I had
was about the hazing necessary
to become a pledge; the endless,
grueling hours of pain and embarrassment necessary to be accepted.
For me, rushing was fun. Here
at Point, hazing is completely illegal -rush period consists simply of getting to know the members.
The sorority is selective to
some extent- rushes must be invited to pledge. All of the women
I rushed with were invited to
pledge, and the whole experience
was a very positive one.
Duri.ng the pledge period, I
learned a lot about the Greek
system. Right now we have
four sororities as well as four
fraternities on campus.
Each organization has a
board of officers and also has
members representing each organization in the Inter-Greek
Council. Both the individual
groups and IGC do a lot to supportUWSP.
A big part of Greek life is service to the community. Both the
TKE's and Phi Omega participate
in Adopt-a-highway.
We've also made it a tradition
to participate fully in Red
Cross's Blood Drive, A.C.T!s
Hunger-Cleanup, and various
other philanthropic opportunities.
Another benefit of Greek life
is the people around campus you
can meet.
Through being in the IGC office or at other IGC office or at
other IGC events, I've been able
to meet a lot of Greek role models who are active around campus in SGA, RHA, ACT, ARC,
UAB, or at the campus info. desk.
These people are leaders both
in Greek organizations and on
campus. They are full of energy
and enthusiasm, and have given
me a better idea of the kind of
person I would like to become.
I have found that Greek life
here at Point breaks all stereotypes - it is fun, organize, gives
you a chance n meet lots of new
people, and really has helped me
make the most of my college experience.

Time to graduation
Dear Editor,
In response to the article written by Deanne Daffner on January 27 concerning time to degree
at this institution.
I'm sure that this article elicited some strong feelings among
both faculty and students
(mostly negative).
It should be noted however
that most faculty on campus are
not oblivious to students' desire
to graduate in four years.
The gradual lengthening ofthe
time to complete a "four year"
degree is a function of several
factors.
Ms. Daffner mentioned some
of them, including the increase
in the number of students who
work while going to school, an
increase in those opting for two
minors to improve marketability,
and the large number of students wishing to transfer from
two-year schools.
There is another factor that
Ms. Daffner did not mention
which may be just as significant .
as those previously stated.
The UW system, like many
universities nationwide, have
broadened the course requirements for students. These are referred to as General Degree Requirements (GDR)
and reflect the trend towards
graduating a more well rounded
student.
Students graduating from
UW are required to have been
exposed to many different disciplines including Arts, Humanities, Health and Fitness, NonWestern World, Natural Sciences, Writing, and Math.
These requirements are a reflection of the changing face of
the working world into which
students enter upon graduation.

Computers ease testing
The UW-Stevens Point Testing Services has implemented a
new computer testing system to
make the process of taking the
Graduate Rec01d Exam (GRE) and
the Pre-Professional Skills Test
(PPS1) easier.
The UWSP Testing Services
became an offiCial Educational
Testing Service Computer
Based Testing Site as of November 16, 1993.
According to Sharon Gabnz,
acting director of the Counseling Center!festing Services, the
program is now ready to go into
regular use by students.
"We are ready to promote and
encourage the use of this new
service now that we have worked
through the preliminaries of the
system," said Gabnz.
"We have received good reviews from those who have used
these computer-based programs."
The computer administration
of the GRE and PPST are now
available by appointment on
Tuesday mornings and '!]lursday afternoons.
"This new arrangement allows prospective graduate students and education majors the
opportunity to fulfill necessary
admissions testing requirements
year-round, rather than just a
few Saturdays each year," said
Gabnz.

in one day or scheduling them
for three separate days.
The old format required all
three tests to be taken in one sitting.
"Those who experience test
anxiety would benefit from writ. ing one test per day," said
Gahnz.
The computer tests are more
expensive than the old versions.
The cost of the GRE will be $93
and the PPST will cost $65 for
one test and $20 more for each
additional test.
GRE and PPST registration
forms are available from the Testing Service located in the Counseling Center in Delzell Hall and
in many other university testing
centers.

Apathy cancels program
Students miss real life information
by Lisa Herman
Features Editor
Program cancelled! Archie
Bunker's Neighborhood could
have, SHOULD HAVE been a
success-If you would have
shown up.
If you missed one of the millions of posters, advertisements
and announcements, let me explain what Archie- Bunker's
Neighborhood is or was.
It's a program subtitled "come
see where prejudice lives,"
sponsored by UWSP Issues and
Ideas, which simulates actual,
diverse neighborhoods struggling to sutvive in America.
In the simulation, individuals
receive a label which categorizes
them into a certain neighborhood (African American,
Hrnong, Native American, Jewish, Asian, Hispanic, disabled,
ot homosexual).
Each group is allocated a
small space on the floor and a
srna.ll amount of money to build
their neighborhood. However,.
·there are strict rilles to abide by.
The simulation shows how
America is dominated by white,
male heterosexuals and the frustrations that go along with living in America if you don't fit
this description.
The whites had a space on the
floor too - a big space with Jots
of money and no rules to prevent their neighborhood from
growing.
The purpose is not to bash
on whites. The purpose is to
understand how problems such
as overcrowding, crime and
prejudice continue to exist in
society.
What a great opportunity to
walk in someone else's shoes, to
get a different perspective, to
raise awareness. Unfortunately,
only four out of 8000 students
thought it was a great opportunity also.
The program needs more than
four people for the simulation to
work. Amy Kettner, issues and
ideas coordinator said that the
poor turnout says a lot about
·stevens Point, "It's .kind of
sad ...tbese programs try to wake
up people and raise awareness
of what's out there."
After the hours spent in
preparation, Kettner and her five
team organizers want to know
why - Are you just apathetic,
not interested? You didn't come
because there wasn't free food?
Or you didn't come because
there isn't anything in it for you
besides the pure knowledge you
might gain?
How many of you were sitting in front of the television set
at 8 p.m. Wednesday watching
Melrose Place or Horne Improvement. Couldn't miss it, huh? Do
you fear if you miss an episode
you may be lost for the whole
season? I doubt it!
On the other band, if you
miss programs like Archie
Bunker's Neighborhood you
may be lost for a lifetime.
Let us all hope that student
organizations battling apathetic
students continue to sponsor
events that attempt to educate
students outside the secluded
classroom about REAL issues.

"Yes, because I feel it
would be fair to all the

cially with racism being
such a big issue in today's

"No, I believe Black
History symbolizes US history in its entirety. There
would be too many ethnic

"Yes, so many of today's

a great variety of diversity.
Celebrating their ethnic

"Yes, because there are

"Yes,. Black History is

Acrobats to visit Point
Currently participating in an
80-city tour, the renowned Peking Acrobats from the People's
Republic of China will perform
at 8 p.m., Tuesday, March 1, at
the Sentry Theater.
The event is sponsored as
part of the UWSP Performing
Arts Series.
The 21-member troupe, made
up of tumblers, contortionists,
jugglers, cyclists and gymnasts,
is making its sixth North Americantour.
Previous tour~ resulted in
many sold-out performances.
Beginning in Hawaii this
month, the tour crosses the
United States and Canada before
concluding in April.
The show offers unique and
exciting entertainment, as well as
a glance at an ancient folk art tradition.
Acrobatic acts can be dated
back as early as 225 B. C. during
the Ch'in Dynasty.
Fu Qifeng, author of"Chinese
Acrobatics Throught the Ages,"
says acrobatics originated from
the people's daily lives, drawing
from their experiences with work,
war and sacrifice.
It was believed that practicing
acrobatics could steal people's
wills and increase their physical
strength and the accuracy of
their movements.
According to the Los Angeles Times, ''The Peking Acrobats
from the seem-
ingly impossible to the virtually
unbelievable," throughout their
show.
The Seattle Times calls them
" ... stunning and breathtaking."

And so it goes
by Lincoln Brunner
Sports Editor
Jan sen relives his
cruel nightmare
Call it doom, call it a recurring nightmare. Say whatever you
want. It all adds up to a great big goose egg in the medal basket for
speed-skater Dan Jansen.
The agony of loss for Jansen translates directly to the disappointment felt by all those who either know him, bet the week's
check on him or just want to see the poor guy WIN THE STUPID
MEDAL AND GO HOME.
Ladies and gentleman, meet Dan, paradox of success. The undisputable best in his event, Jansen and the Olympic 500 meters
a love-hate relationship rivaling the Super Bowl and the BuffaloBills.
It's sad, really. It's as if, just like the Bills, Jansen was created to
win everything but Final Jeopardy. They both cruise through the
regt~Iar season and playoffs like a flaming arrow through ice cream,
only to get slapped with "Name all seven dwarves- in Hebrew."
What makes Jansen's burden just a little worse is his failure while
in the spotlight of complete dominance. He's the only speedskater
to break 36 seconds in the 500, and he's done it five times. The Bills
are good, but, well ...records are records.
Like Michael Jordan, Martina Navratil ova and Robin Williams on
paint thinner, Jansen lives on a completely different level-only
recognizable as human by virtue of his occasional gaffs.
Sadly, those few potholes are what will be debated, scorned and
pointed to as probable cause for Third World hunger for years to
come.
Maybe not so surprisingly, Jansen has gotten better and better.
since-his first media -blitzed setback at the Calgary Games in 1988.
That was the year his sister, Jane, died of leukemia the same day of
his 500 race. He fell in tum four, visibly crushed, with two pillars of
his world shaken to the ground.
Then came '92 and Albertville. Jansen, again favored more heavily
than Betty Crocker in a bake-off, took fourth in the 500 and another
stomach-full of ridicule.
This year, Jansen once more got grief instead of gold in what is
probably his last Olympics. He will be 30 in 1988 and, even with his
prodigious talent, probably too old to compete with Olympic competition.
Just like those BiJis, though, Jansen can keep proving himself
worthy by just sticking with it (ironic words from a desk jockey
whose skating ability matches his ballet skills). He's got the 1000
meters tomorrow and a better than average chance of medaling, if
not winning. Not to mention he's still the world record-holder in the
500.
Will our hero be able to pull it off! Or can the Bills actually win a
Super Bowl before the talent runs out? We'll know about Jansen
before the Bills, but the suspense wiJI still be agony.

Men's hoops takes one,
drops two in homestand
by Lincoln Brunner
Sports Editor
Like a dripping faucet that
keeps findiQg new ways to leak,
the UWSP men's basketball
team just can't put a cap on inconsistency this year.
With injuries to starting center Brian Schwechel and assist
expert Donta Edwards, the team
is struggling to keep their bearings as the season winds down.
The Pointers (6-6 in the Wisconsin State University Confer- ·
ence, 12-9 overall) wrapped up a
three-game homesta:nd Tuesday
night with an 86-76 loss to Mt.
Senario College.
The defeat was the Pointers'
second in a row and exemplified
the woes they've had all season.
Senario forward Jason
Walters, who's caught the eye
of a few NBA scouts this year,
was one-man plow through the
drifting Point defense.
The 6'5" senior scored 27
points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Fighting Saints
(17-19 on the year).
"The game was a matter of
them having one dynamite
player, Jason Walters," said
head coach Bob Parker.
"I thought Tom Sennett did a
pretty good job on him defensively. As many times as he
scored, it was because people
weren't stepping up to help."
As hard a time as the Pointers had defensively, they got no
relief
the other end of the
floor.
At best, Parker's squad was
jerky instead' of smooth, unable
to mount any sort of attack.
Point's last lead ended three
minutes into th<;: game when the
Saints tied the game at nine.
Senario led by as many as 16
before heading into halftime up
45-36.
"Offensively, we were
spotty," said Parker. "We turned
the ball over and didn't play together as well as we should."
Tom Sennett led the Pointer
scoring attack with 18 points,
including three 3-pointers and an
assist.
Andy Boario followed up with
· 12 points, five assists and three
rebounds.
On Saturday, Point took a hiatus from disappointment with a
thorough mopping ofUW--Superior 96-70.
Boario stung the
Yellowjackets (1-11, 4-15) for 31
points as the Pointers evened
their conference record at 6-6.
"It was a good morale boost,"
said Parker.
"We played well for long periods of time, and everyone got a
chance to play. Of course, Superior is the doormat of the
league, so it's a little bit of fool's
gold in terms of how good we
might have been."

Luck just doesn't seem to be
on the side of the UWSP
women's basketball team this
season.
As has been the case for much
of the '93-'94 campaign, the
Pointers continued to play .500
basketball, first falling to the
Blugolds 65-59 in Eau Claire last
Friday, then drubbing the
Yello\\jackets 91-59 Saturday in
Superior.

Egner wis pleased with the overall effort, especially against a
team like the Blugolds.
"We all played well," she
said. "We played with a lot of
heart and emotion. It really was
a great game."
Lucrecia Burleson and Lisa
Grudzinski were the leading scor-
frustrations on the hapless
Yellowjackets (3-9, 6-14) and
again gained some much needed
confidence.
"It really was a good game for
us to have, especially after playing Eau Claire tough,"Egner said
UWSP started off quickly,
building a ten-point lead in the
first five minutes of the game,
and never looked back as they
dominated all facets of the game.
Nine Pointers saw action with
Grudzinski leading the charge,
scoring 21 points and pulling
down 11 rebounds. Sheila
Weiler poured in 18 and
Burleson added 14 for the winners.
Steven Point resumes conference play this weekend as they
host UW -Stout this Friday and
follow up on Saturday with a
game against UW-River Falls.
Egner hopes to see Berg Gym

"We want tho see Berg Gym

lege, which traditionally is considered one of the best teams in
the country.
The national champions last
year, Augsburg, greeted the
Pointers with some tough competition.
Jason Malchow (118lbs.) had
a key win in a close matchup
against Dave Janaszak, escaping
with only fifteen seconds left.
His close 3-2 win brought the
Pointers a 3-0 lead.
In a huge upset, Pointer Rick
Demario was pinned by Shane
Nelson at 142 lbs. to give
Augsburg the lead at 10-9.
But Seth Foremen (158 lbs.)
brought back the team in an excellent match and scored from
almost every situation.
Coach Loy felt this was a key
match which got the team back
on the winning track. Foremep
came through with a 18-3 technical fall bringing the Pointers
back with a 14-13lead.

Dashing through the snow...
Cirone grabs NCHA scoring title
by Lincoln Brunner
Sports Editor
Hockey, being the team sport
it is, usually feigns from favoring individuals. What's good for
one player isn't always good for
the team.
For the Pointers, that was fortunately not the case Friday and
Saturday night. The defending
NCAA Division III champs
walked away with 4-1 and 5-2
victories over the Blugolds while
Point center Frank Cirone swiped
the conference scoring title from
Eau Claire's Mike Schwengler.
"There were a couple things
going on that people don't realize," said Pointer coach Joe
Baldarotta. "Frankie Cirone was
two points behind Schwengler
in the scoring lead. So how do
you shut down Schwengler and
sive end and good on the penalty kill," said Baldarotta. "We
shut 'em down and Frankie was
able to get a couple of shorthanded goals."
"Baldarotta 's squad also took
care of business on the offensive end, getting backup scores
from AI Bouschor and Chad
Zowin to seal the win.
"We had to take care of our
defense," said Baldarotta. "We
went to a different fore-checking system that promotes transitional defense. ·we were able
to do that very, very well Friday
night."
On Saturday, the Pointers enjoyed more of the same success
by beating the Blugolds 522 _!nd
nailing down second place in the
NCHA standings.
Cirone once again shined like

playing Eau Claire or the Russians, we were going to

win the scoring championship?"
Easy-you play the kind of
hockey that's won four championships in five years.
On Friday, the Pointers (13-62 in the National Collegiate
Hockey Association, 17-6-2
overall) cranked up the defense
a notch and held the Blugolds
(3-15-2, 6-17-2) to a single goal
as Cirone punched in a pair of
shorthanded scores to give the
Pointers all the points they
needed.
Cirone Jed off the game's
scoring with goal at 16:34 of
the first period. The Blugolds
answered with a power play
score from Paul Harbaugh, their
only one of the game despite 14
power play opportunities.
"We were good on the defen-

and last goals of the game along
with two assists to finish the year

Despite a goal from
Schwengler, Eau Claire missed
the win an individual title to finish just above last-place Lake
Forest in the Conference.
"It was one of those thingsit didn't matterifwe were playing Eau Claire or the Russians,
we were going to shut 'em
down," said 11 smiling Baldarotta.
"We played very, very well Friday and Saturday. We were very
solid."
The Pointers have the first
weekend of the playoff season

the Bemidji St.-Lake Forests~­

Wilderness movement continue-s
By Jennifer Paust
Outdoor Editor
Wildlife Society Political Action Committee (PAC) members
focused their attention on
Northern Wisconsin's TurtleFlambeau Flowage this weekend.
UWSP members met with local organizations supporting a
proposal that would designate
the area as non-motorized access wilderness area.
The purpose of the weekend
- visit to the flowage was to gain
first-hand experience of the area
and share information with local
efforts.
out. "It was then that skiers and
canoeists could no longer enjoy
their activity. It's a matter of
rights."
Heather Varco, UWSP environmental education major and
PAC member, agreed saying, "If
we could preserve tbe t1owage,
and remove the zooming snowmobiles and motorboats, it
would protect an entire ecosystem."
Guggisberg also stresses the
importance of examining the impact of creating wilderness in
Wisconsin.
"The 12 pairs of eagles and
18 pairs of osprey are thriving
under no protection. If they will
on recreation and tourism opportunities.
Opposition to the designation
believes that tourism dollars
would be lost if the proposal is
approved.
"They don't realize that there
will be a new clientele drawn in
by a wilderness," Guggisberg
stated.
A three-mile segment of a
snowmobile trail will be rerouted according to the proposal. Iron County is widely
known for its 500 miles of snowmobile trails. Some area residents
view the proposal as a threat.
"The motor bad to be new
sometime," Guggisberg pointed
These organizations included
the Northwoods Conservation
Association, Environmentally
concerned Citizens in the Lakeland Area (ECCOLA) and the
Chequamegon Chapter of the
National Audobon Society.
A Madison-based group has
also shown interest in supporting the designation.
"What's important is that we
all generally want the same thing
for the same reasons," said
Allen Guggisberg, president of
the Wildlife Society.
Hopes are for the area to return to pre-settlement conditions. Less emphasis is placed

need to think about this further,"
Guggisberg said.
The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage was created in 1962 when a
dam was buiU to supply power
to a paper company. It created a
1400-acre body of water.
In 1990 the State of Wisconsin purchased nearly the entirt:
flowage--23,576 acres.
The largest land purchase in
the state's history includes

CNR project makes progress
By Jennifer Paust
Outdoor Editor
~d the banging hammers
and whining saws at UWSP,
progress is being made in the
College of Natural Resources
building.
Located at the west end of the
CNR, the aviary has until recently, remained fairly quiet.
"When we designed the feature, we thought primarily of the
animals," said Mary Cahow, the
biology staff person responsible
for care of the exhibit.
Cahow has worked as a biology staff member for seven
years, and has been supervising
operations in the exhibit since the
summerof1986.
Noticeable progress has been
made on the exhibit's water feature. The old pond was deep and
resembled a pit. When construction is completed, the new
water feature will be more natural.
The new pond will provide
easier access for turtles and
birds. In the past, the turtles
easily broke legs and chipped
shells when they fell into the
pond.
Those turtles not adapted to
water often had difficulty climbing out of the deep water. The
new pond will have more natural
edges and will not be as deep.
It will provide an additional attraction for resident birds. The
water feature provides more
shoreline, aiding in bird bathing.
Gradually sloping edges will
make exiting easier for fledglings
and newly introduced birds. In
the past, all birds that fell into
the large, deep water drowned.
"I'm optimistic that we will
recover construction costs in
less than a year," stated Cahow.
Maintenance and labor expenses, both daily and annually,
will be reduced through additions made during construction.
Veterinary service bills should
be greatly lowered due to the
more natural pond. Restocking
costs will also drop.
Funding for the water feature
was supplied by the Biology
Department and the College of
Natural Resources.
In addition, a special fund was
established through plant sales
and profits made when selling
exhibit fledglings.
Controversy surrounded the
inclusion of fish species in the
exhibit
The new pond is somewhat
smaller and much shaUower.
Less fish will be included as well
as a smaller species representation. Current plans provide for
several panfish.
When considering water in
the exhibit, many options were
presented. The approved water
quality recirculation system will
blend the proposals together.
The system will supply 10%
fresh water exchange each day.
The remaining 90% will be recycled from water present in the
pond.
"A waterfall will act as a biofilter. It will reduce fish waste to
a less toxic compound," stated
Cahow. "The fresh water will be
filtered to remove chlorine and
fluoride."
Concrete will be delivered today to solidify the sand framework for the water feature. It is
expected to take no more than
one month for completion.
berculosis in the spring of 1992.
Three birds died within one
month.
"Avian TB is rare in the wild,
but quite common with captive
birds," Cahow explains. "It is
undetectable in small, live
- birds-untreatable and usually
fatal."
The remaining birds were randomly sampled and all tests
came back free of the tuberculosis bacterium. No related deaths
have occurred in the UWSP flock
since late summer of 1992.
A $15,000 grant from the
Health and Safety Planning Budget, located in Madison, was
approved to cover construction
costs.
The new features will be preventative measures against fu-
"It will not be 100% done in a
month. By June 15, everything
organic will need to come out,"
added Cahow, "We're doing the
final stage of construction this
summer."
The final stage includes installation of waterproof ceiling
and lighting. Duct work is
planned to reroute exhibit exhaust directly outside of the
building.
"If human pathogens ever become present, building occupants won't be exposed," said
Cahow. The ventilation work ·
will be added as a health safety
valve.
This device will ease exhibit
cleaning and insure that any
avian fecal material present will ·
be removed. The entire ceiling
area will then be closed off.
Renovations were scheduled
due to an outbreak of avian tu-

Ski acrobats converge on
Rib Mountain
by Richard Waldvogel
Typesetter
On the weekend ofFebruary
25-27, the Rib Mountain Ski area
in Wausau, WI, will play host to
the United
States Ski
Assocation (USSA) Freestyle
Competition.
Freestylers from Minnesota,
Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin will converge to
test their skills in aerials, mogul
and ballet skiing to try and capture the divisional championship.
, The event draws nearly one
hundred co-ed members of
freestyle clubs from throughout
the midwest.
Thomas Liebermann, chairman for the USSA Central Division, says that the freestyle format they use is the grass-roots
program for sending U.S. competitors to the Olympics.
"This is a great opportunity
for anyone who likes to ski on
the edge, but prefers to learn
how do it better and in a safe
environment for the chance of
getting a gold," said Libberman.
Rob Rybarczyk, co•founding
member of the Rib Mountain
Freestyle Club, encourages anyone who ever imagined themselves competing in or observing a freestyle competition to
contact him at 848-8265.
"We take the saftey issue very
seriously, yet we still manage to
have a great time," said
Rybarczyk.
"I mean what could be better
than flying offa eight-foot ramp,
doing three different tricks and
landing safely."

"Uh, let's see ... I'll try the mammoth."
Letter
continued from page 4
In the past decade, employers
in all areas of business and government have found that a well
rounded, as opposed to highly
specialized college education
provides students with the
proper tools to succeed.
It is difficult for academic departments to "retool" and factor
these requirements into the
student's course plan without
diluting the major chosen.
The Fashion Merchandising
major has been working on this
situation and are currently proposing revisions to the curriculum that will strengthen the major while at the same time reduce
the time to degree.
A ~quired minor has been
removed from one option in the
major, with the required minor in
the other option being changed
to a "choice of minor" to give .
the student more flexibility.
The goal here is to eliminate
the need to take two minors. We
have ·found that this is a major
reason for students staying
longer than four years.
Though Ms. Daffner is no
doubt well intentioned in writing "Tne truth is, students are
taking longer and longer to
-graduate, and little is being done
to prevent it," she is none the
Jess uninfonned.
Our department is not the
only one aggressively addressing this issue. It is not a situation that can be remedied in a
semester (or two). The strengths
of many organizations can be
weaknesses at the same time.
In the case of the UW system,
its size can be a strength, but in
this case the weakness involves
the time and approval necessary
to make changes such as this.
Thank you for the nudge,
Ms. Daffner. Be patient. I don't
believe any faculty or ail ministration member actually wants
to see students take five years
to graduate.
