Oswald and Haag gain top spots in SGA elections
By Gregory Vandenberg
NEws EDITOR
Senators Ray Oswald and
Shelley Haag edged out write-in
candidates Mike Carlson and Joe
Trawitzki in the Student Government Association's (SGA) presidential/vice presidential elections.
The Oswald/Haag ticket
amassed 374 votes in securing the
presidency, while Carlson and
Trawitzki surprisingly received
314 votes, despite not being on
the election ballots.
Senators Mike Kurer and Sara
Lamberg took third place in the
race for the presidency with 247
votes.
Kurer was disappointed with
how the election was organized.
"Unfortunatefy, they we're run
very poorly. I feel bad for the students because they didn't get the
information they needed," said
Kurer.
"Nobody knew what was going on. There was a good tumout, and people told me that they
felt comfortable with me as president. But, Ray (Oswald) is gonna
do a good job," added Kurer.
Communications Coordinator
for SGA, Scott McGee felt that
there was a breakdown in communication that led to the poor
organization Kurer spoke of.
"The people that knew what
was going on didn't tell others
whatto do," said McGee. "It was
a mishap of communication, and
there was also the problem ofcandidates mudslinging each other."
"The guidelines should be
more defined and we should
make people more aware of these
guidelines," added McGee.
Despite winning the election
for the vice presidency, Senator
Shelley Haag felt that some
things should change. "It (the
election) was a learning experience for SGA and it gives us an
opportunity to improve," said
Haag.

UWSP alumnus brings home Oscar
By Bill Downs
CONTRIBUTOR
A former communication major at UWSP won an Oscar at the
67th annual Academy Awards
presentation.
Peggy Rajski, a 1975 graduate of UWSP, took home the Oscar for her live-action short film
"Trevor" Monday night in Los
Angeles.
The award culminates a career that began at UWSP in 1971.
Professor Bullis of the Commu-
nication Department remembers
Rajski as one of the founders of
Student Video Operations.
"Peggy and several other students started SVO as part of a
class project in 1972," said
Bullis.
"She also helped produce a
television show for channel nine
in Wausau while at the university," he added.
Bullis recognized Rajski 's
energetic enthusiasm, regardless
of the project she was involved
in. She was "always a creative
person with a great sense of humor."
Rajski's film shared the honors with another film by Frank
Capra, "It's a Wonderful Life."
It_ might be a coincidence that
she would share the Oscar with a
film of the same name as one produced by one of her idols.
While at UWSP, Rajski met
Frank Capra, who produced and
directed the 1946 classic "It's a
Wonderful Life" that has become
a holiday tradition.
Capra visited the UWSP campus in 1973 while Rajski was a
student. Professor Bullis recalls
that the experience left its impression on the young future Oscar
winner.
Rajski found early success as
a producer for Bruce Springsteen.
She produced "I'm on Fire"
and "Born in the U. S. A." for
the "Boss."
Not forgetting her roots, she
used the house she lived in on
Main Street, while growing up in
Stevens Point, in "Born in the U.
S. A."
· Rajski's family was elated at
the news of her Oscar presentation. Although her brother, Scott
Rajski, was at work and unable
to see the broadcast live, his wife
Colleen taped the show for him.
All of her friends and family
in Stevens Point were thrilled
when they heard about the award.
United Council lobbies state legislature
Over 65 students from campuses around the state organized
at the State Capitol Tuesday to
lobby their legislators, and oppose the cuts to the UW system
proposed
in
Governor
Thompson's 1995-97 biennial
budget.
Student Lobby Day is part of
the "Invest In Tomorrow... Educate Today! Legislative Conference," a two-day event sponsored
by the United Council ofUW Student Governments.
On Monday, students met at
the UW -Madison Memorial
Union to attend a day of issues
workshops and lobby clinics, and
to prepare for Tuesday's day of
lobbying.
On Tuesday, they met with
over 40 members of the Wisconsin Assembly, and 28 state senators.
Students attending the Lobby
Day came from a diverse array
of campuses, including UW-La
Crosse, UWC-Fox Valley, UWParkside, UW-Milwaukee,
UWC-Marshfield, UW -Stevens
Point, UW-Whitewater, UWGreen Bay, and UW-Madison.
Speakers at the Lobby Day
Kick Off included State Representatives Tammy Baldwin, (DMadison) and AI Baldus (DMenominee).
A letter of support from State
Representative Rob Kreibich (REau Claire) was also r~ad.
"Is cutting the UW System going to keep Wisconsin's economy
strong? No. Cutting the UW System, increasing tuition, cutting financial aid increases, and increasing the cost to middle-class
families will not work," said
Sachin Chheda, United Council's
Legislative Affairs Director.
"Students are active and concerned, because the UW System
benefits all of Wisconsin," said
David C. Stacy, President of
United Council.
"Students aren't just applying
pressure to their campus-area legislators. They're talking to assembly members and senators
from the towns and cities in
which they grew up," he added.
United Council is Wisconsin's
only statewide student lobbying
and advocacy group, representing
140,000 students at 23 UW System campuses.
Students Speak Out against financial aid cuts
By Gregory Vandenberg
NEWS EDITOR
Students concerned with Federal financial aid cuts have joined
together to form "Speak Out," an
organization determined to battle
Newt Gingrich's "Contract on
America."
The seven-member group is
currently petitioning governmental officials to oppose Newt
Gingrich's plan to eliminate
Stafford loan interest exemption
and campus-based aid programs,
·such as Federal work study and
Perkins loans.
Wednesday, March 29th
marked National Speak Out Day.
The UWSP chapter is giving students a chance to be involved in
this campaign to secure financial
aid by setting up a booth in the
UC on March 28th, 29th, and
30th.
Speak Out is also giving away
green ribbons for students to wear
to show support for the fight
against tuition hikes, a 10% cut
in administration funding, a decrease in state financial aid,
elimination of the Stafford loan
and loan interest exemptions.
"The green ribbons are worn
so people can oppose the 'Contract on America,"' said Speak
Out member Melissa Dier.
"Green is also a symbol for
money," added Dier.
An educational forum is
scheduled for April6 at 7:00p.m.
in the Communications Room of
the UC so students can join professionals from throughout the
state to understand more about
where the money from educational cuts is going.
"Investment in education
makes sense," according to Speak
Out. "In order for America to
continue to have a strong
economy and receive the many
benefits of an educated populous,
we must invest in education programs, not cut them."

DON'T FORGET TO SHOW

SELECTION OF CARDS
AND MUGS TO SAY
"THANK YOU".
The American Indians Resisting Ostracism (AlRO) club will
hold an annual powwow from 1
to 10 p.m. on Saturday, April 1,
in Berg Gym at UWSP.
Cost is $3.00 for the public
and $2.50 for university students
who present identification cards.
The admission price includes
a traditional Indian dinner, which
will be held at 5 p.m. ·
Sharon Cloud, co-adviser of
AIRO and acting director of
UWSP's Native American Center, believes the event will draw
a large crowd.
"More than 600 people are expected to attend the powwow,"
said Cloud.
"Representatives from the reservations in Wisconsin and some
out-of-state tribes will be there as
well."
Cloud defines a powwow as a
social gathering and a time for
Indians from different tribes to
get together for a cultural activity. Singing and dancing constitute the main part of a powwow.
Cloud notes that many non-Indians do attend the event.
A number of vendors will sell
items at the powwow. Artwork,
jewelry, baskets, and moccasins
are some of the many items that
can be purchased.
Most universities in the UW
System hold an annual powwow.
Stevens Point usually holds the
first of the spring.
AlRO is celebrating its 25th
anniversary this year.

Ocean mesmerizes Editor-in-Chief
By Stephanie Sprangers
EDIOTR-IN-CHIEF
Ok, I have to confess, I wish
spring break had not ended. Sitting on the white sandy beach
watching the sunset in 85 degree
weather was definitely the highlight of my break. Peace and happiness were definitely in the air.
I was in Panama City Beach,
Florida and yes, I wish I was still
there. For all of you who went to
some sunny beach, I think you
can understand. I am really having trouble adjusting to the fact
that I am now back in the swing
of things and I have a job and I
hav~ to study. Stevens Point is
cold and damp and that pushes
me further into the Post Break
blues.
So, does anyone have a clue ·
what I'm saying? All of the cool
people you met, all of the fun you
had and all the things you did are
no\v fading into memories. Now
all you have are your books and
professors. (HMMMMM) It is
really hard to come back and
glide right into the study thing
with enthusiasm. At least for me
it has been pretty rough.
It is hard to imagine that one
week ago I was sitting on the
beach in 85 degree weather
watching the tide roll in and roll
out. There always seemed to be
an aura of peace in the air. Everyone was content and relaxed
and did not have a care in the
world.
The ocean is so mysterious
and it reels you in mentally and
emotionally. Maybe what 1-miss
most is the ocean. The big white
cap waves crashing at my feet
erasing all of the days memories.
It swallows the sandcastles and
footprints of the day without hesitation. The memories are there
for us, but the ocean has not a
care.
I have often pondered the
power of the ocean. It terrifies,
thrills, facinates and angers many
people. One thing, one body of
water can mesmerize so many in
one whooosh of the tide.
The mystery ofwha~ the ocean
is and what your spring break was
or could have been can be one

it, wouldn't one human being kill

Wellhead project works on Little Plover River
By Scott Van Natta
CoNTRIBliTOR
The Stevens Point-Whiting
Plover Wellhead Protection
Project in cooperation with
UWSP continues to do extensive
work on the Little Plover River
Project.
The Wellhead Protection
Project (WPP) was initiated in
1990 by the U.S. De}:>artment of
Agriculture (USDA) Water Quality Project, to address adverse impacts on the groundwater which
recharges the municipal wells
that serve Stevens Point and the
surrounding area.
"Our goal is to work with land
owners to reduce the risk of
groundwater contamination,"
said Bill Ebert, project manager.
The Little Plover River
Project is one of the many volunteer projects associated with the
WPP. Other projects include:
surveys, atrazine alternative field
demonstrations, and providing
artistic talents.
Volunteers sign up as EARTH
TEAM members which is a volunteer recognition program
through the USDA.
Some of the main intents of
the WPP are to help people learn
more about groundwater quality,
identify problems and assist
landowners in implementing
conservation practices that will
protect the groundwater.
Another volunteer job is the
Little Plover River Project. Geoff
Schramm, UWSP senior, is a volunteer. "I measure the F-gauge
readings and stream flow velocity at two different sites. I like
that it's involved with the students. It

ter There is not as much a di-
rect impact on it because of the
flat topography and sandy soil,"
said Shaw.
According to Shaw, this area
has long been known for its bad
groundwater. The increased nitrate levels have been getting
worse. "The project will document that," said Shaw.
"The project has a very positive affect in getting students involved with a federal agency,"
added Shaw.
The Little Plover River
Project will document the relationship between land use,
groundwater and stream water
quality, and provide information
on the amount of time that passes
between the land use changes and
their effects on the groundwater
and surface water quality at different points in the watershed.
A special focus on nitrate and
chloride movement with limited
pesticide sampling is being conducted to determine if pesticides
that are now being found in monitoring wells are finding their way
to the stream during base flow
periods.
According to Randy Stagg,
coordinator of the project, "The
Little Plover River is a good indicator of the health of the aquifer."
"It acts as a barometer of the
water contamination in that
area," said Stagg. "Volunteers
are always needed. We could use
some more help. We could definitely put them to work."

people involved in the elections.
"The students have spoken
out by giving Joe and Mike so

Carlson was satisfied with
their showing stating, "I think we
had a successful campaign. We
tried to stir up a little noise, and
I think we did that."
Carlson also expressed concern about the organization of the
election. "People at the booths
were telling voters to write down
'wrestlers' or 'Joe and Mike' and
then those votes were later said
to be invalid. That upsets me."

Shakespearian comedy -to be staged at Jenkins Theatre
"The Taming of the Shrew"
by William Shakespeare, directed
by Robert Baruch of the theatre
and dance faculty at UWSP,
opens Friday, March 31.
After its run on campus, it
will be staged at Wausau's Grand
Theatre for two additional perfor- '
mances.
Not only the cast, crew, costumes and props will be transported to Wausau, but the scenery will be moved to Wausau as
welL
Stephen Sherwin of the theatre and dance faculty designed
the set based on Shakespeare's
original Globe .Theatre.
After the performances by the
UWSP cast, the same set will be
used for the performances of
"Romeo and Juliet," by Wausau's
high schools through the Wausau
Area Shakespeare Project.
Baruch believes that "The
Taming ofthe Shrew" is "clearly
a comic battle of the sexes which
often plunges into farce, but it is
also a battle of equals."
Meanwhile, Bianca, portrayed by Andrea Anders, is pursued by several suitors. The suitors include: Cory Krebsbach as

Water traveling down a rolling stream. Birds singing early

These are the types of sounds
UWSP student Cherryl Corso
incorporates into her music.
Part of a guitar trio called
Water Tree, Cherryl composes
the group's music and also plays
guitar and keyboard. Trio members Scott McCutcheon and Gary
Hofstad play bass and lead guitars.
Cherryl started studying music three years ago, and took guitar lessons
from
both
McCutcheon and Hofstad. She
began writing her own music and
brought it to her lessons for them
to critique. Cherryl decided to
start recording her music and
McCutcheon and Hofstad agreed
to help her out. They formed the
Water Tree trio in the summer of
J.994.
In her description of Water
Tree's music, Cherryl points out
that it is "meditational with nature incorporated as an instru-
ment, not just background noise."
The music is instrumental and
has what she describes as "an
earthy quality to it." For example,
one song entitled "Waterways,"
depicts the travel of water from
the sky to a stream.
Cherryl's goal is to get Water
Tree's music out on CD "to give
people a chance to listen to it."
She is not interested in gaining '
popularity, she just wants people
to hear her work.

In addition to the cast, four
spectators will wear Elizabethan

Baseball starts out strong
By Joe Trawitzki
CONTRIBUTOR
T
While most UWSP students
were enjoying spring break, the
Pointer baseball team went to
· Florida and worked hard.
They kept busy by playing
their first twelve games of the
season in eight days, and their
hard work paid off as they returned home with an 8-3-1
record.
The trip showed that the
Pointers have improved from last
year and are ready to play.
The record is quite impressive
considering the team's youth, inexperience, and last year's record.
Head Coach Guy Otte was
pleased with the trip, "I knew we
had a pretty decent team going
down to Florida, but I didn't
know how they would react to
playing games. They reacted extremely well. I was pleased with
the way we played."
"Our young people learned
the difference between high
school baseball and college. They
handled themselves well."
Besides bringing back a winning record, the Pointers also established that they are a better defensive team than last year.
Coach Otte commented on his
team's defensive improvement,
"We did commit errors, but they
were aggressive errors. We are
making plays this year that we
did not make last year."
The Pointers defense was
aided by the performance of their
pitchers.
The staff was led by senior
Aaron Parks who finished the trip
3-0 with a 3.12 ERA.
"Our young pitchers pitched
well, as did our veterans. Parks
did a fine job as expected. Our
relievers pitched well, just like we
need them to pitch for the rest of
the season." Coach Otte added.
Offensively the Pointers were
led by the hitting of junior Gary
Kostuchowski. Kostuchowski led
the team in every major offensive
category. He batted .531 with 16
runs batted in and 3 home runs.
"Gary hit the ball well. He is
on a tear, everything he hits is
dropping." said Otte.
Fans will get a ehance to see
the Pointers this Wednesday,
when the take on Lakeland College. The ga:ne will get under
way at 1 p.m.

SPORTS EDITOR
The men's NCAA basketball
tournament comes to an end this
weekend. It will showcase four
very different teams, each pursuing the same prize, a national
title.
Coming oui of the West Region is UCLA. The Bruins, led
by the 0 'Bannon brothers, Ed
and Charles, and point guard
Tyus Edney, is the tournament favorite. They may also have the
easiest semifinal match-up, taking on Oklahoma State.
The No~ 4 seeded Cowboys,
will have to see production come
from their big man in the middle,
Bryant "Big Country" Reeves, if
they plan to advance past UCLA.
Reeves, a 7' 292 pound force
· down low, has no reason to feel
intimidated by the Bruins. Big
Country has helped Oklahoma
State move past Wake Forest,
Massachusetts, and Alabama on
their road to Seattle.
In the Midwest, the Arkansas
Razorbacks survived a few early
round scares to reach the Final
Four, which can be looked at from
a positive outlook and not just a
negative one.
It shows that Arkansas has the
physical and mental strength to
win the close games and those
qualities might be deciding factors that will determine who will
win it all.
The Razorbacks will look to
repeat as National Champions
with help coming from Corliss
Williamson; Scotty Thurman and
a bench which scores around 28
points a game.
But, they'll have to get past
North Carolina first.
The Tar Heels are loaded with
talent, including Jeff Mcinnis,
Donald
Williams,
Jerry
Stackhouse and Rasheed
Wallace.
They can explode at any time,
and may be the most well-balanced team remaining.

A sophomore at UWSP,
Cherryl transferred here from
UW- Milwaukee two years ago.
She is studying communicative
disorders and is considering a
career in audiology.
On campus, Cherryl is also
part of an international music
group called Cadence. The group
has played for the UWSP international dinner for the past two
years, and will play at the Portage County cultural festival next
month. They play American
cover tunes and popular music
from China and Japan. According to Cherryl, "I hope to broaden
my scopes and pick up the musical flavor from different countries
and incorporate both culture and
nature into my music."
Currently, Water Tree is one
of many groups that is still waiting to be discovered. The group
has submitted demo tapes to
· agents at major recording companies and is focusing on the
completion of their CD. The
members of Water Tree hope that
people will keep an ear out for
their up-and-coming music.

have done it. We however are

much out there. So many little
things we can do that make a big
difference. So become informed.
Knowledge is power, become a
