Q ·1.4~ .r{"~u UW System donates $2 million to aid in deallocati()n . . / Salar-Y dollars help UWSP in saving academic programs from money c;:runch By Stephanie Sprangers EDITOR IN CHIEF As students return eager to start the new semester, they may find that their classes have been made bigger. Some may have even been cancelled. This is due to the announcement made by Department of Administration Secretary James Klauser in late December, that requested a lapse, or deallocation, of more than $8.7 million from the UW System, including more than $375,000 from UWSP. "We tried to reduce to a very minimum the damage that would be done to our academic programs," said Chancellor Keith Sanders. "There was some cancellations of classes, but only at a minimum." All UW System schools were given money, taken from the UW System's reserve funds. A total of $2 million in reserve funds were given to the schools by the UW System, which reduced the amount of the "give back" from $8.7 million to $5.7 million and reduced UWSP's amount to about $311,000. "We began with a problem and we got some help from the "The mid-year deallocation caught us by surprise," said Assistant Chancellor of Business Affairs Greg Diemer. "We did not anticipate this to come at this time. The System handled it as fairly as they could given the dollars at a time of financial pressure. Other departments will also be effected. The College of Fine Arts and Communication will not be able to offer additional sections of Communication courses unexpected retirement to add course sections.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) sedulously fosters mis,interpretation of the amendment and one must conclude intentionally publishes such misinformadon since its high-priced counsel surely knows better. The full text of the Second Amendment reads: "A wellregulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right ofthe people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged." The U.S. Supreme Court has 1 spoken on it many times. In United States vs Cruickshank (1876) 92 U.S. 542, the court held that the right of bearing arms for lawful purposes is not a right granted by the Consitution and that the Second Aillendment "has ·DO other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government." In United States vs Miller (1939)307 U.S. 174, ~~U.S. Su~ preme Court asserted that, "In interpreting and applying (the Second Amendment), the purpose of the amendment to assure continuation and render possible the effectiveness of the militia must be con, sidered." In Lewis vs U.S. (1980) 445 U.S. 55, the U.S. Supreme Court restated this: "These legislative restrictions on the use of firearms (convicted felon cannot lawfully possess frrearms) do not trench upon any constitutionally protected liberties. The Second Amendment guarantees no right to keep and bear frrearm that does not have 'some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia'." No federal court has ever held that the Second Amendment confer$ on the individual a right to bear arms. The courts have consistently adopted the "well-regulated militia" interpretation. The amendment is to be read as an assurance that the national government will not interfere with a state's militia. Beyond this even Congress is not prohibited by the amendment from regulating frrearms by the exercise of its interstate commerce powers. See Commonwealth vs Davis (1976) 369 Mass. 886 by a lower court. All legislative measures and city ordinances limiting or banning firearms have been upheld including a Morton Grove, Illinois ordinance prohibiting possession of handguns within municipal boundaries. · The California law on assault weapons was upheld through the appeals court level and the NRA has abandoned plans to .bring the measur!! before the Supreme Court. ·The NRA is aware, of · course, that Were it to lo~ an appeal to th~ highest court, thatwould put the quietu~ on its fundamental contention that ·the Constitution grants the individual the right to bear arms. · Hold ·on to the memories of loved ones forever A ban on assault weapons is not only constituional but studies show it would also be effective.

Three ways to beat the ·high cost of college. BIRKENSTO(K. The original comfort shoe.'M 1. The Montgomery Gl Bill !. Student loan repayment 3. Part-time income The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for college.

Second, if you have-or obtain-a qualified student loan not in default, you may get itpaid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000.

Campers work 24 to 32 hours a week and are paid $4.25 an hour, with a room and board charge deducted from their pay check. There are planned evening and weekend activities such as volleyball, softball and basketball, fishing and swimming trips. Two camps will be operating in 1995: Statehouse Lake Camp located on Statehouse Lake in Manitowish Waters, Vilas County; and Ernie Swift Camp located on the Minong Flowage, west of Minong, Washburn County. Each camp will provide two 4-week sessions: June 18 through July 14 and July 16 through August 12. Each camp has a Camp Director, two Assistant Directors, 12 to 14 counselors, two cooks and an office manager. The director and assistant directors are generally college graduates or teachers. · Applications for Staff and Campers are due March 1, 1995. "The Program can accept only 100 campers (50 boys and 50 girls) at each camp for each session, so it is important to get applications in before the deadline," Marton said. · Applications can be obtained after January 19, from High School Guidance Offices, Job Service Offices and Department ofNatural Resources District Offices or by writing to: Youth CQnservation Camp Program (CA/8), Wisconsin DNR, PO Box 7921, Madison.

Tickets are on sale at the Arts and Athletics Ticket Office (3464100). His appearance is sponsored by the Performing Arts Series at UWSP. The series is funded by the Wisconsin Arts Board and the student body of UWSP. Born in New York City, as the son of two classic;tl singers, McFerrin began studying musi-· cal theory at age six, shortly before the family relocated to Los Angeles. Piano was his primary instrument in high school and college. A road career as a pianist was shortened by his desire to become a singer. When he and his wife settled in San Francisco, he made three important contacts. Linda Goldstien, his manager and producer; Jon Hendricks, a jazz vocalist who gave McFerrin his first major gig and Bill Cosby who arranged for the unknown vocalist to perform at the 1980 Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl. A year later, McFerrin took New York by storm at a Kool Jazz Festival concert and was then signed to the Elektra/ Musician label, which released his debut album, "Bobby McFerrin." After touring with his own band and collaborating with jazz stars, McFerrin took the plunge into unaccompanied concertizing in 1983. This led to a solo tour of Germany where the live album "The Voice" was recorded. McFerrin worked with an array of artists including Garrison Keillor, Jack Nicholson and Manhattan Transfer with whom he collaborated on "Another Night ~ondayJan. 30,atUWS~ The performance in Michelsen Hall, Fine Arts Cen- ter, is open to the public free of charge.

The Broadway actor has memorized the entire book of Luke, and acts out all of the passages. The InterVarsity Christian Fellowship organization is sponsoring Kuhn's performance. Members oflnterVarsity saw him perform at a conference they attended and were thouroughly impressed with what they saw. Abigail Considine, one of the coordinators for the event said, "You do not even have to be familiar withthe Bible to enjoy the performance. Kuhn brings the bible to life with a fascinating and dynamic performance." Kuhn has performed in two Broadway productions.

PAGE 12 JANUARY 26, 1995 Scott Van Natta FICTION WRITER CHAPTER SIX It knew only hunger and it strove to satisfy that need. It dug with its powerful front paws into the hard packed snow. Six days earlier, the grizzly had been hibernating peacefully, oniy to be discordantly awakened by an earthquake. As his den for eight years began to fall down upon him, he scrambled out into a white world. That was when hunger set in. And there was nothing to eat, something the immense beast had never experienced. Soon the hunger pains had become too much, and the 1200 pound mammal had taken to eating bark, branches, pine needles and anything that presented itself. Not necessarily the best diet for a grizzly. The bear slowly moved up the valley, skirting around ravines, vaguely aware that it was being followed. Finally, during the storm, he came upon a young elk lying in the snow and made it his first real meal. His hunger was satisfied for the moment. He continued moving up the valley, and soon after came the run-in with the twolegged animal. He slashed at it and it went down easy, making no resistance for itself. The grizzly smelled the strange animal, but it had a scent he was unfamiliar with. Backing away, he stepped on something long and thin in the snow. He took it in his great jaws and bit down, but it was hard and tasteless. After walking a few feet, he dropped it on the snow and continued on. But now he was hungry again, and he dug his way through three feet of snow. Underneath was an old log surrounded by dead grass. The grizzly tore into the log, consuming it and the grass in a few minutes. Then he sauntered a few more feet, and dug another hole. As his claws ripped at the snow, a new sound came to his ears. It was a low thumping that steadily grew louder. He slowly reared up on his hind legs, his head 12 feetoffthe ground. His nose worked the air for a scent, but there was none. He then saw the object, its sound booming off the mountains. The grizzly watched it move off down the valley, and when he couldn't see it any more, he dropped to all fours to continue his search for food. He could not have known that within the object, sat a device more powerful than himself, a thought that he couldn't comprehend. The grizzly had no natural enemies, at least none that he knew of. He had no fear of the strange object. And it was better that way. At the Galena Air Base, Tim McGee had just downed his fourth cup ofcoffee. Even though night had yet to set in, he had been on radar watch for eight hours, a watch he was required to take once every three weeks. He set the cup down, and decided to take a stretch. He stood up, glanced at the radar screen and left the room, hoping to find someone to talk to. Soon after he left, a small green blip appeared on the screen. It moved south from Kotzebue across the Arctic Circle, crossed the Buckland River and passed fifty miles west of Galena. It screamed over the Yukon River at 120 knots and shortly thereafter banked to the left toward Mt. McKinley. As is weaved in between mountains, the small green blip faded in and out as the radar signal was lost, then reacquired. The object was 20 miles south of Galena by the time Tim returned to the room with a book he hoped would be interesting enough to hold his attention for the final two hours of the watch. He flopped into a wooden stiff-backed chair and began to flip through the book looking for pictures. He took a token glance at the radar screen, and saw nothing. Looking back at his book, he turned to chapter one and bent the front cover around the back. His eyes flicked back to the screen one last time, and as he stared, a small blip appeared. He watched it for five seconds, then it disappeared. A few seconds later, it again reappeared a few centimeters southwest of its previous spot. Tim finally broke out of his trance and pressed the IDENTIFY TARGET key. A moment later came the response: UNABLE TO IDENTIFY. The object was obviously flying low, Tim thought. Probably just some trapper flying out to his cabin, but it was moving fast. He charted its movements for forty minutes as it moved southeast. As it cut between a mountain range, the signal was lost and the blip disappeared for good. In his report that followed, the young corporal incorrectly assumed that the object had kept moving southeast. SEE REAurv WEEK IN POINT! THURSDAY. JANUARY 26 - WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 1 (H) (Green Bay).

The Pointer hockey team pulled even with UW-River Falls for first place in the Southern Division of the NCHA despite a loss and a tie with the UWWhitewater Yellowjackets last weekend. Andy Faulkner contributed two goals and one assist for the Pointers, but it was not enough for this offensive struggle. The Yellowjackets outshot UWSP 33 to 28 and defeated them seven to five in Friday night's portion of the two game series. Faulkner scored another goal in Saturday night's contest and helped to hold on for a tie with the Yellowjackets. Point held a three to one advantage going into the final period. After a goal by Superior's Todd Mickolajak, Pointer Joe Vancik was given a two minute penalty for roughing. Superior took advantage of the power play and tied it up on a goal by Kevin Sobb. Pointers' move up in the standings was a result of two straight losses by the UW-River Falls Falcons. UWSP begins a two game series with the St. Norbert Green Knights on Friday in DePere, but return home to K.B. Willett for Saturday's game. NCAA Division Ill Hockey Poll (West Region) Chad Zowin of UWSP also had a big series with two goals and two assists. David Ketola stopped 26 of33 shots in goal for the Pointers Friday night, while David Fletcher turned away 31 of34 shots in Saturday night's affair.

The men's team placed fifth at the meet, edging out WSUC favorite UW-La Crosse, 445.5 to 342. "So far this season, the men's strength has been the freestyle events," said head coach Red Blair. "We don't have too many stroke peopl_e." The men's 200 freestyle relay, consisting of Don Guay, Todd Bergquist, Mark Weinhold, and Jesse Moen, placed fourth in the two-day meet. They finished with a time of 3:19.78. Diver · Brian Engholdt placed third in the three meter diving competition with a score of 385.31. "We are looking realistically to be second in the WSUC for the men," said coach Blair. "It basically comes down to two teams: Stevens Point and La Crosse. That's how it has been [for a long time)." The women's team placed eighth at the invitational. Mary Kolar placed tenth in the 200 butterfly, finishing with a time of 2:27.96. The women's relay team also placed tenth in the 200 freestyle. The team, comprised of Sarah Kluge, Christie Ross, Christina Tereba, and Krista Vanenkenvoort, finished with a time of 1:49.59. The women's team hopes to finish high in the standings, but has their work cut out for it. Coach Blair said, "We're gonna have to fight real hard to hold third place in the WWIC." UW-Eau Claire and UW-La Crosse figure lo finish first and second place respectively with Stevens Point in third. River Falls and Oshkosh will be battling UWSP for the third spot in the conference standings. The Pointer swimming teams have two more meets before they travel to La Crosse for the conference meets.

JUST STOP INTO THE UNIVERSITY STORE AND ASK OUR FRIENDlY CASHIERS FOR THE. COUPON01 THE WEEM V~!:~SJIX UNIV CENTER 346-3431 By Gregory Vandenberg SPORTS EDITOR Professional hockey returned after a lengthy lockout last Friday when the New York Rangers hosted the Buffalo Sabres. The Rangers' Nlll.. championship banner was raised and the 40 year old curse that haunted them was destroyed. "America's hockey team" was set free from the jinx and the fans cheered with unbelievable energy. The setting was perfect: The Rangers, the jinx, the banner, .all encompassed by the most well known sports venue in the world, Madison Square Garden. It was as if the god of sports had sprinkled his magic dust to form this perfect moment. It's times like these that remind us why sports play such a huge role in today's society. Sports are a sort of release for all of us. We can watch a game, imagining ourselves as ·the participants, and pretend just for a moment, that each of us can be superstars. It allows tis to be little ... and to forget about grades, tuition; taxes, crime, politics, and all the other frustrations of life. I thank God that hockey saved itself from the becoming what it allows us to escape from: greed and bureaucracy. Owners locked out players because they had no collective bargaining agreement. But who is really hurt by this? The two groups that allow hockey to even exist: the players and the fans. Hey, major league baseball, are you listening? You wouldn't have your Porsche or your Rolex if it wasn't for the fans. You do remember what fans look like, don't you? Someone should sit down with the players and the owners and remind them why sports are played. It's not money, it's the thrill of competition and the fact that anything can happen at anytime. Well baseball, when you settle this strike and become even richer than before, I have one hope for you. I hope that you trip on your big fat wallet and you crack your head open. The world would be a better place without money mongers like you. Graplers gain momentum By Joe Trawitzki CoNTRmuroR The Pointer wrestlers worked hard over the holiday break to prove they deserve to be mentioned as contenders for the nationa} championship. During that time the Pointers won four out of five dual meets. They chalked up convincing wins over Itaska Junior College, 28 to 10; Lawrence University, 42 to6; UW-Oshkosh, 37-3; and UW-Whitewater, one of the best teams in the WSUC, 35 to 10. Head coach Marty Loy commented on how well they wrestled against Whitewater. "They are a very good team. 1 expected us to win, but not by that much. We wrestled the best we have all year that match, 1 was surprised by the number of times we pinned them [4]. It shows how good we can be, but we need to build on performances like that." Their only loss came to the Northern Wildcats of the Big Ten Conference. Even in this loss, Point wrestled extremely well despite the 32 to 3 score. All of the matches were close includ- ing six matches decided by 'three points or less: "We wrestled well," said Loy, "They didn't blow us out, the meet was close. It was a good experience. Wrestling good competition highlights our weaknesses. Wrestling better competition is the only way to bring ourselves to that level." Another highlight of the break came when sophomore Shawn Riege was named WSUC Athlete of the Week for January 9th to the 15th. During that week Riege went 2-0 including the only Pointer win in their match with Division I Northwestern. Riege, who is normally the backup 142 pound wrestler, won the award when he moved up a weight class to fill in for injured senior Ricky DeMario. "It's great for Shawn to have gotten the award because he is one of our backups who is waiting to crack the line up. Shawn did a great job taking advantage of the opportunity given to him," said Coa~h Loy. UWSP's next meet is tonight when they host the UW~ Platteville Pioneers. Women hoopsters suffer tough loss Pointers lose heartbreaker on last second shot,- 58-56 By Mike Beacom CoNTRIBUTOR The UWSP women's basketball team was in a bit of a slump going into last Tuesday's game against visiting UW-Platteville. After a vacation break which produced three losses, including two to conference opponents Oshkosh and River Falls, the Pointers were still looking for their first conference win. "Our field coal percentage was horrendous," commented Pointer head coach Shirley Egner on her team's 31 percent shooting. " We' re not going to win games shooting 30 percent from the floor. That's the bottom line for us." The Pointers (4-10 overall, 06 in the WWIAC) found them- Tracksters travel to Stout Invite By Douglas A. Miles CoNT~IBUTo~ UWSP's men's and women's track and field teams got the seas<;m off and running last Friday at the Stout Invitational. The men tied for third with UW-Stout, finishing behind UWLa Crosse and Mankato State University, while the women placed eighth out of nine teams. UWSP men finishing in the top four of their events ,include Parker Hansen, first in the 55 meter hurdles; Chad Robran, second in the 600 meter race and third in the 55 meter hurdles; Craig Huelsman, third in the 55 meter dash; Reggie Nichols, fourth in the 55 meter dash and third in the long jump; Craig Olson, third in the 600 meter race; Ted Zondlo, third in the 1,000 meter race; Jeff Costable, fourth in the 1,000 meter race; Jeremie Johnson, fourth in the 3,000 meter race; and Chris Richards, second in the triple jump.
