Death of Ed U. Cation funeral held
Student Government leaders head ceremony
by Katey Roberts
TYPESETTER
A funeral for "Higher
Ed U. Cation" took place
yesterday. A coffin was
carried from the front of
Old Main, and then
through campus.
The procession ended
at noon in front of Debot,
where the services were
held and a sermon was
given.
Dan Le Beau, of the
Student Government Association, spearheaded
the organization of the
demonstration. ''Now is a
rough time for the University System," he said.
"When the University
of Wisconsin System was
created in 1972, students
paid for 20 percent of their
tuition. Now they pay
around 33 percent, which
is way above the rate of inflation," said LeBeau.
Le Beau hopes that the
funeral will make students
aware that the UW-System
is not being sufficiently
funded. "It is hard to be a
full-time student anymore," said LeBeau.
The governor and legislature are seen by Le
Beau to be partially to
blame, but he says students
are also at fault. "Students
tend to ignore issues," said
Le Beau. "The politicians
are not afraid to answer us
at the polls."
This demonstration is
also a prelude to a rally for
education and Wisconsin's
future that is taking place
on the steps of the capital
building in Madiwn next
Wednesday. Even though
the rally is not seen as an
acceptable alternative to
classes, the Vice Chancellor encourages professors
to release students ·from
class to attend.
For those interested in
helping to fight tuition increases within the UW-Systern, transportation will be
provided free of charge.
Buses will leave the U.C.
at 9:00a.m.
Students who would
like to attend can sign up
in their hall or contact SGA

UWSP installs useful system
By Jennifer Tatro
CONTRIBUTOR
Thanks to a newly-implemented computer syst~m, students at UWSP can find out in
minutes a vast amount of information that may be important
while attending college.
Included in this information
are: registration requirements
and procedures, how credits will
transfer to other universities,
housing, financial aid, childcare
information, and basic information about different universities
and UWSP.
A list of all majors and minors offered at every university in
Wisconsin, and the classes required for these majors and minors will also be added to the system.
"This is not meant to replace
your advisor, but to provide
readily accessible information for
you and your advisor to use in
making decisions," said Cathy
Glennon, Assistant Director of
Admissions, who has been coor-
dinating the implementation of
the Transfer Information System
(TIS) on Campus.
"All universities in the state
of Wisconsin are linked to this
system, and we are in the process
of linking up the technical colleges in the area," said Glennon.
TIS will be most useful to students who are planning on transferring to another UW campus
and for students taking parallel
college courses at technical colleges.
Glennon says students ·will
receive current, accurate transfer
information that formerly required phone calls and/or letters
to receive from other campuses.
"TIS information will help
students avoid taking courses
that won't transfer, thereby making it easier for them to graduate
on time," said Glennon.
Implementation began in
1988, when the UW Board ofRegents proposed the project to the
UW System. The project was authorized and funding was re-
ceived from the Wisconsin State
Legislature. All UW systems
were suc.cessfully linked to TIS
in October, 1994.
"We worked hard on this
project since 1988 and it is nice
to see the benefits the students
will get now," said Glennon.
According to Glennon, overload was a concern. To prevent
system failure, a new mainframe
computer was purchased especially for the TIS system.
"TIS is designed to be userfriendly," Glennon reports. A
computer work station is located
in the Student Academic Advising Center, room 103 of the Park
Student Services building, and
is available for use during regu- Fti11eslti<nts

UWSP wins two awards
Recycling and grounds keeping receive honors
By Stephanie Sprangers
NEWS EDITOR
UWSP has received the 1994
Governor's Waste Reduction and
· Recycling Award.
The university was one of 23
winning programs selected from
a large pool of entries.
"We probably recycle more of
our solid waste than anyone in
the country," said Chancellor
Sanders.
~'The reason our program
works So well is because every
body kicks in."
"A lot of people help us on a
voluntary basis. I think we've
definitely earned the right to fly
the Earth flag around here,"
Sanders added.
UWSP also received an
HONOR award from the Professional Grounds Management
Society for their grounds maintenance award program. UWSP
has done a lot of major ground
work this year. The award will
be presented during November,

The program "Lightweight,

held in conjunction with National Collegiate AJcohol Awareness Week. This program was
held Oct. 18 in the Thompson

we discussed fines and information on testing procedures for

Editor in chief lacks respect for readers Political bashing unnecessary
Dear Editor:
Regretfully, I have been
drawn into a journalistic game of
tit-for-tat. While I believe this to
be with you, the Editor-in-Chief,
I cannot know for sure, due to a
cat-and-mouse chase with acronyms (i.e. EO-which I believe to
be a cute way of saying Editorin-Chief), wrongly positioned
names (see the October edition
of the Pointer), and incomplete
artistic renderings (The ring
guy). But, I think I have finally
pegged my nemesis.
Mr. ED, my beef (I am trying
to get this hip thing down myself) lies with your continuing
lack of professionalism.
I, along with Mr. Scott King
and, most likely, others, was confused into misunderstanding the
authorship of an editorial in the
October 6 issue. I did not know
that Hunter S. Thompson was
only responsible for the opening
quote of your editorial. I guess
its irrelevancy to the politics of
Wisconsin distracted me from
remembering that Hunter S. Thompson was an author, and not
the owner of the article. But
then again, misplaced as it was,
the quote's citation looked more
akin to the editorial than the
short passage. I was not the only
reader that felt that way.
While we could debate the art
of formatting for a long while,
what really bothered me was the
response that Mr. King and I got
in regard to our confusion. Instead of following standard procedure and admitting the possibility of some misunderstanding,
you instead chose to belittle us
with a snide response.
In a haughty, "you-foolishboys tone," the follow-up comment snipped, "No matter how
tempted I am to let you all go on
thinking Hunter S. Thompson
wrote last week's editorial, the
fact is, he was only cited for the
first paragraph." The fact that
you were even tempted to do so
says volumes about your work
and makes me feel less the fool
for · being under-read on the
world of pop culture politics.
I suggest, Mr. ED, that you
come out from ~hind that halfdrawn mask and handle matters
with the Pointer a little more professionally. Treat your readers
with respect (we all employ you)
by continuing to allow them a
written voice but without your
brand of condescension. Do not
attempt to humiliate me, when
certain editorials, for one reason
or another, cannot be presented
without typos and interwoven
columns or when your own work
relies on profanity and shock
value to elicit response.
Sincerely,
Gary T. Zarda
Haiti is a hotbed of hypOcrisy
Dear Editor:
Recently, President Clinton
was talking on nationwide tetevision about how brutal Haiti's
military leaders were. He talked
about the horribly mutilated bodies found in the streets, the use
of rape as a political weapon
against dissidents and the killing
of orphaned children.
Now, suddenly, they are not
such bad guys after all and an
amnesty has been granted to
them. They are even allowed to
still live in the country.

Sexism is alive and well
Dear Editor,
Judging from Mr. Downs'
response to my editorial last
week, he either didn't understand
my point or chose to ignore it.
There is a big difference between
my sign and the "little jokes'' that
men have gotten in trouble for.
My sign was merely entertainment, which even most men
aren't offended by. The "little
jokes" that Mr. Downs referred
to are not in fact jokes, but outright sexual harassment meant
to belittle women, which male
chauvinists deserve to get in
trouble for.
In fairness to men, I will admit that some women say really
cruel things about men that even
many feminists object to. I do
not support such male-bashing at
all.
However, what really
pisses me off is that if guys write
demeaning things about women
outside their doors, it seems to be
okay.·As soon as a woman jokes
about men, even if it's not de-
meaning, she's considered a
bitch. With attitudes like this, is
it any wonder why we have so
many problems getting along?
As far as the "national pastime" of male-bashing to which
Mr. Downs claims, what about
the "national pastime" of male
chauvinism? Why don't you talk
about that, Mr. Downs; or don't
you have the guts?! You also say
that it's "doubtful if the relationships between the sexes will
ever again be truly mutual."
When were they ever? Wake up
and come to the real world, Mr.
Downs!!!
Even if it takes until hell
freezes over, there will come a
day when men and women will
be able to understand and joke
with each other without the suspicion of harassment Thank
God attitudes are slowly changing. And if Bill Downs doesn't
like it, he can sit on a tack!!!

Professional sports should
be regulated
I believe the only way baseball, hockey, football, basketball,
or any other professional sport
will ever learn to respect the hand
that feeds itis when government
regulates it.
Oh My God! Did I really use
the "R" word?
Yes sports fans. I think it's time
the purveyors of our addiction be
held accountable for the anguish
they have caused us.
I don't think any athlete
should make any more than the
average fan makes. Why should
someone who makes less in a year
than the average athlete makes in
one game, have to subsidize that
person?
While free ef!terprise built this
country, I'm convinced that justifies the greed of owners who continually pass on to the consumer
the actual or presumes higher cost
of operation.
If professional sports is allowed to continue this course of
ever escalating prices it won't be
long before the only people able
'to afford tickets to ball games will
be the owners and the players (
and maybe a few politicians).

answer, There have been mediators in the past, but we still have
strikes, and the cost of going to a

So, I guess the only way to
ensure an uninterrupted flow of

I'm not sure which federal
agency should regulate sports.
Perhaps,Fish and Game? Or,
maybe Food and Drugs?
Conceivably, we could create
a new department. It could be

Record-breaking second half fuels offensive attack

A member of the UWSP women's tennis team returns a serve in a
match against UW-Eau Claire last Friday in Stevens Point. The Pointers lost to the Blugolds, 7-2.

Tie with Blugolds ends winning streak at nine games
The UWSP women's soccer
team gotto experience first-hand
what it was like to kiss its sister,
and believe me, they didn't like
it.
For the first time in nine
games, the Pointers didn't get to
taste victory, tying the Blugolds
1-1 last week in Eau Claire
before coming back strong,
pounding UW-Whitewater and
UW-Superior, 2-0 and 12-0, respectively.
Stevens Point (12-2-1 overall,
6-0-1 in the WWIAC) takes on
the College of St. Benedict on
Saturday in St. Joseph, Minn.
After an impressive victory
over UW -Eau Claire last week,
the UWSP football team found
themselves in an early hole last
Saturday against Thomas More.
Trailing 14-3 at the half, the
Pointers showed some offensive
strength and battled back to whip
the Saints, 52-27 in a non-conference game in Cincinnati.
Led by quarterback Tom
Fitzgerald, the Pointers' offense
became unstoppable in the second half, scoring seven touchdowns and a record 49 points.
"We were real sluggish, head
coach John Miech said of his
team's first half performance.
"We had a long bus ride."
The Pointers (3-3) put all of
that behind them when they took
the field for the third quarter
when tight end Nick Schneider
turned the game around with a
one-handed touchdown grab.
Fitzgerald came right back
moments later when he hit running back Nate Harms for a 16yard touchdown pass to give the
Pointers a 17-14 lead, and
Stevens Point never looked back.
Just three minutes later, wide
receiver Jose Banda caught another Fitzgerald touchdown
pass-this one corning from 29
yards out-stretching the Pointer
lead to 24-14.
"Fitzgerald had maybe his
best game yet, "Miech said of his
starting quarterback who completed 23 of 36 passes for three
touchdowns and 303 yards.
After a Thomas More touchdown closed out the third quarter, the Pointers prepared to do
more damage in the fourth which
didn't take long.
Running back Stan Strama
scored two touchdowns in the final quarter while backfield mate
Jody Damitz and Schneider each
added one as the Pointers cruised
to a blowout victory.
It was no secret that Stevens
Point's strength was in their offense, gaining 526 total yards
with 328 of that coming through
the air.
The Pointers hope their offense will carry over to this weekend as they travel to Menomomie

debated on the recently passed
crime bill. This bill restricts and
places ban on some assault weapons and gives money to hire police officers.
"Three quarters of the funds
of the new crime bill will go to
help states build better prison

the crime bill. I didn't like the
part related to gun control. I think
we need it especially with the
squeeze we now have in property
taxes," said Obey. "The police
need all the help to fund budgets,
and this bill will provide it."
"The crime bill in my estimates is a crime. Congress could
have made major changes in the

"There is not going to be enough

Keely & Du take center stage
Theatre & Dance Department present the first fall studio show
A student -directed play that
explores the complexities of some
contemporary issues will open
at 8 p.m., Oct 26, in the Studio
Theater at UWSP.
Jason Hall of Oshkosh will
direct "Keely and Du," a drama
by Jane Martin, which will continue at the same time on the evenings of Oct. 27-29.
Tickets are available through
the Arts and Athletics Ticket Office, 346-4100, and at the door at a
cost of $4 for the public and $3
for students.
Last year's recipient of the
Isabelle Stelmhoske Award for
student directing, Hall describes
the upcoming play as "passionate and controversial.
"It focuses on human relationships dealing with such is-
sues as sexual assault, abortion,
alcoholism, and religious cults."
Written and staged for the
first time last year at the Louisville Humana Festival, the drama
tells the story of Keely, a woman
who has been raped and impregnated by her ex-husband.
She is kidnapped and imprisoned by members of a cult who
try to keep her from having an
abortion.
During the ordeal, she forms
a strange bond with Du, a warm
and nurturing older woman assigned by the cult to care for her.
Though the subject matter is
controversial, Hall says the playwright has done an excellent job
of portraying different points of
view surrounding these issues
and the complexities of human

thing to harp on in retrospect,

Quayle's a stuffed shirt. ,
He couldn't tell a joke to save

like picking on the little kid in

know he won't fight back.
Now when I see Quayle interviewed on TY, he seems to take
that whole incident a little more
humorously. It's a little late now,
Dan.
Republicans must think that
clowning around once in a while

If only they could realize that
humor gives the impression that
you're comfortable with yourself
and in control. Plus, you get
picked on a lot less. ( I speak

Have Pat Buchanan give a speech

If Republicans are going to
make an issue out of people's
character, they ought to at least

View from over the hill
By Terry Kluck
CoLUMNIST
It was an old, dusty-purple
billoon tires, and having belonged
to my mother since her childhood,
it certainly knew how to be ridden.
But, at five years old, I was just
as certain that it was an asinine
heap of metal which was intent
on watching me turn six without
knowing how to ride it.
· Noticing my plight and coming to my aid one day, my father
offered to coach me in the fme art
ofbicycle riding.
After several assisted trips up
and down the alley in back ofour
house, he announced that it was
time for me to go it alone.
"Youcandoit," he said. "Just
relax and ride."
While his confidence in me
was sure and obvious, I wasn't
too sure about my confidence in
me. His strong arms gripped the
bike, one hand on the seat and
the other on the handlebars. A
few quick steps, arid he launched
me one my way.
But I was riding. I was riding!
I was.. face down in the gravel
with that oafish purple monstrosity perched spitefully on top of
Ire.
I could hear my dad running
toward me. As he picked me up
and brushed the stones from my
knees, a proud, yet mischievous
smile broke across his face.
"See," he said with a little
chuckle, "I told you that you
could do it, and you did it. All by
yourself."
That old purple bike was only
one of many obstacles my father
helped me overcome in my life.
Actually, it was probably one of
the easier things we tackled.
He always had a great sense
of when to help and when to let
go. He'd always say I did it by
myself, but without him, I might
not have even known where to
start.
My father died a little more
than four years ago, at' the very
young age of 57. I was with him
when he died, sitting at the foot
of his bed, rubbing his ankles.
I loved that good and wonderful man so deeply; watching
him gasp for his last breath, and
not being able to stop his death
was the most terrifying and painful experience I have ever had.
There was so much left to do.
My god, I was only 29; my kids
were still babies. I needed him. I
had to make up for the bad times,
I had to explain why I made the
decisions I made.
I had to show him how much
he meant to me. It was my turn to
help him, andi·couldn't.
That he'd never again be there
to pick me up and brush me off,
or balloon my confidence just
when I needed it, or even to'hug
me when things got tough was a
reality I just .d idn't want to deal
with.
But he was gone; there was
no turning back. There was no
making up for the times I'd let
him down; there was no way I
could change what had happened. I had to relax and ride.
But I like to think he's near me
in spirit !.like to believe he knows
how far I've come since we last
talked.
I like to imagine him smiling
and chuckling when I stumble
and fall, certain that I can get up
and do it right the next time, all ,
on my own.
And l'd hope that by being
there with him when he faced his
toughest challenge, I gave back
some ofwJiat he'd given me, and
let him know that I truly loved
and respected him, and that T d
miss him as much as I do.
IS IT!

Pheasant numbers increase throughout state
Wisconsin's pheasant population has grown steadily since a
low point in 1985, with some areas of the state showing a threefold increase in pheasant numbers, according to Bill Vander
Zouwen, a wil~ife section chief
for the Department of Natural
Resources.
The growing population is
due primarily to improved habitat and mild \vinters.
"Efforts by wildlife managers
and conservation organizations
like Pheasants Forever and
Wings Over Wisconsin are paying off," Vander Zouwen said.
"Funds raised through the
pheasant stamp and conservation

program funds, have provided

contacts to hunt the wild
on private land,
there will be many hunting opportunities on the 78 public hunting grounds that will be stocked
with about 50,000 pheasants this
fall.
Most of these
properties are in southeast Wisconsin, but some are also found
in the central counties.
Some of the properties have
special restrictions, including 2
p.m. closures during the first two
weeks or tagging requirements.
The daily bag limit is one
cock per day, with a possession
limit of two cocks from Oct 15
through 28. From Oct. 29
through Dec. 7, the daily bag
limit is two cocks, with a possession limit of four.
Pheasant hunters must purchase a pheasant stamp if they
hunt pheasants within the
Pheasant Management Counties, whether the birds pursued
are stocked or wild.
All revenue from the stamp
is earmarked for wild pheasant
restoration projects, including
wild pheasant releases and habitat developments.
Last year's pheasant stamps
were used to pay for the releases
of 14,972 Iowa and Jilianpheasants at seven areas, with an additional six areas this spring.
Pheasant funds were also
used to develop 11,360 acres of
habitat.
Open burning affects air quality and public health.
By Scott Van Natta
OF THE POINTER
Open burning causes air pollution and in most cases, is illegal. All burning puts pollutants
into the air.
These pollutants can cause
health problems, reduced visibility, safety and fire hazards, as
well as soiling and nuisance
problems. The most troublesome
sources are trash burning and leaf
burning.
Some pollutants of concern
include particulate matter, carbon
monoxide (CO), hydocarbons
(HC), heavy metals, formaldehyde and dioxin.
Particulates aggravate diseases, cause asthma attacks, increase respiratory infection, and
reduce lung function in people
who have bronchitis, asthma,
cardiovascular problems and influenza.
Most open burning is prohibited under the state's air pollution rules on open burning. The
only type of open burning that is
allowed is the burning of brush,
leaves, clean paper, cardboard
and clean wood.
"Many people don't understand what is meant by clean
wood, in that it is unpainted and
untreated wood," according to
Neal Baudin, the Air Management District Program Supervisor of the DNR.
"People need to be cautious
not to burn treated wood, because it can do nasty things,"
Baudin said.
Business and commercial operations cannot legally burn anything except in an incinerator that
meets strict air pollution limitations.
However, even allowed open
burning cannot be done if it
causes a health, safety or fire
hazard.
A burn barrel or a leaf pile
may not seem like a large air pollution source, but smoke from
open burning is usually a significant problem, because pollutants
are emitted at ground level and
because combustion is incomplete
due to the relatively low burn
temperatures.
Keep in mind that forest fire
regulations vary depending on
where you live. Many areas require obtaining a written permit
prior to burning. Contact your
local DNR ranger station, emer-
gency fire warden, or fire chief
regarding these regulations.
Actually, there may not be any
need to burn anything if you consider the alternatives. If you
don't buy in bulk and don't buy
items that are overpackaged; if
you reuse, sell, or give away
items you no longer need, you
will have less waste material to
dispose of.
All paper and some plastics
can be recycled. Leaves, grass,
weeds, brush and other lawn and
garden resources can be used for
composing and mulching. Clean
wood can be used in a wood burning stove.
For more information on recycling and composting, contact
your local DNR office.

I nf!uenza Season is Approaching
;
Influenza is a viral respiratory infection which is most common during the winter months. The symptoms
include · fever, chills, sore throat, dry cough, runny nose,. ·and aching muscles. Occasionally someone with
influenza will get complications such as pneumonia or complications of pre-existing illnesses. There are·several strains of influenza virus, and the strains change from year to year. The immunity produced by an influenza
vaccination lasts approximately six months, s·o immunizations need to be repeated because of waning immunity. Many years· there are new strains of the virus added t~·the vaccine. Young healthy adults will usually be
·· sick for one to two weeks and recover without problems. There may be additional risk for people who have
other diseases.
-
Who should be vaccinated:
The Health Center has limited supply of vaccine available now. The vaccine is recommended for people at risk
of serious consequences from influenza, these include:
• chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes,
• people with asthma,
• people who have renal disease,
• people who have had organ transplants,
• people receiving medications to treat or induce immunosuppression, and
• people who work in medical care settings who potentially could infect large numbers of already ill people.
This might include employees of nursing homes, group homes, and hospitals.
Jn mid-November the Health Center will make remaining vaccine available to otherwise healthy people who
want to decrease their chances for getting influenza until the supply is gone. The vaccine is considered safe~
however, people who have a history of allergic reaction to eggs or who have had serious allergic reactions to
prior vaccinations should consult a physician before getting the vaccine.
Other ways to be immunized include your home dotor's office, or Portage County Public Health Clinics which
are open M & T 3- 5 and Fri 9- 11 after 11/1.

"Sure is flying low..." John
remarked.
As the helicopter drew closer,
John's eyes widened. Then the
chopper slowly banked to the left
and flew up the valley away from
them, skimming over the tree tops.

"That was a Russian gunship."
"What?... how could it be a
Russian gunship... and here in the
middle of Alaska?"
"Hey, that's what I saw. I
don't think the U.S. Air Force
employs too many gunships
with a hammer and sickle painted
on the tailfin."
John looked around him. It
was getting dark.
"We need to find a safer
· ' place; to set up our tents."
