Student government drops the ball on rugby
By Melissa Dier
CONTRIBUTOR
The Stevens Point Rugby
Football Club has pleaded guilty
to charges of misconduct at a formal SOURCE (Student Organi-.
zations United to Revitalize Campus Environment) Committee
hearing last Thursday night. The
Rugby Club violated several conduct rules this semester: unleashed pets on the- university
playing field, driving and parking a truck on an university playing field, and having open intoxicants on a playing field.
The SOURCE committee
passed a motion for Senate approval stating, "The Stevens
Point Rugby Football Club is suspended of its recognition by the
University of Wisconsin-Stevens
Point as a student organization
and all privileges and services
recognition as an organization
provides until January 1,1996."
As a result of suspension, the
following privileges were revoked: suspension of use of university practice fields, weight
room facilities, transportation
and funding.
Ray Oswald, President of
SGA stated, "The Senate
took .
(
into consideration that the Rugby
Club is serving a two year probation before making this deCision."
Joel Heuvelman, a Rugby
Club player felt the decision was
unfair. 'The rookies are losing a
great opportunity because of this
decision. The Rugby Club is like
a fraternity."
"Its a great way to stay active and
meet great people."
·
Mike Williams, men' s rugby
coach said, "It is a great injustice, absolutely absurd. There
were no grounds whatsoever. All.
the complaints have been about
spectators or visiting teams,"
Williams refuted.
Heuvelman refuted the vehicle incident saying "An
alumni's wife was pregnant and
wanted to watch the game, so he
drove his truck on the field to
drop her off and then parked his
truck in the parking lot."
The team plead guilty to all
the offenses, but team members

-Underage drinking reported when a student and visitor were
observed jumping the practice field and fence and starting up the
golf cart.
-A Community Advisor (CA) in Smith Hall reported finding a
man slepping in the study lounge. The man is believed to be in, volved with the tresspassing incident last week. The man was
arrested for tresspassing.
-Two females from Baldwin Hall reported three males were
crawling through the construction by Baldwin Hall. They were
crawling through holes and taking pictures of themselves.
You might think that in order
to get an ROTC (Reserved Officer
Training Corps) scholarship, you
have to be enrolled in military
science classes.
But in fact, you don't have to
have a history with ROTC to receive money. You do, however,
have to be willing to get involved
with it in the future.
Two and three-year scholarships are currently available to
UWSP freshmen and sophomores
who have never taken any type
of military science class but who
are qualified to l:!ecome ROTC
cadets, according to Major Jeff
Swokowski of UWSP's military
science department.
The scholarship application
period will begin October 1 and
continue through February 15,
1996.
The financial amounts of the
scholarships vary, Swokowski explains, but each winner receives
full tuition money, $450 annually
for books, supplies, and equipment and $1,500 annually in tax.;.
free spending money.
More than a dozen UWSP stu-·
dents have already received Army
scholarships. "Nate Orlowski,
for example, is a recent winner,"
says Swokowski. "He went
through his first and second years
ofcollege without completing any
military science courses."
He heard about the scholarships, applied, and earned one
worth $7,000. Now, as a junior,
he's formally pursuing a commission as an Army officer, and the
Army will pay his tuition for both
this year and the next as well as
give him $3,000 to spend any way
he chooses.
"Upon graduation, Orlowski
will differ from many graduates
in that he will have a full-time
job already waiting for him with
a starting salary of at least ·
$25,000," Swokowski adds.
While the scholarship application period does not end until
February of 1996, processing of
the application should be completed this semester.
Interested students fill out
scholarship application forms in
which they will be asked about
such areas as acadetiric record,
SAT or ACT test results, and
stimmer and academic year employment and activities, especially those tha~ have;: ~ncluded
serving in leadership capacity.
A local medical exam also
provided at no cost to the student.
. Scholarship winners are notified aroUnd May 1, 1996.
··
Those selected will serve either full-time in the active Army
or part-time in the ArmyNational
Guard or Army Reserve upon
graduati9n.

ReCord·funding
·CoNTINUED FR-OM PAGE 1 ·
Other areas .at UWSP shared financial success as well.
The College, of Letters and 'sci~nce received $572,000, submit. ting more proposals in FY94 than ever before.
The College of .Fine Arts and Communication obtained over
$52,000, an impressive number considering that in 1990, only two
small extramural awards were given to the area.
The College of Professional Studies acquired just under $150,000,
while the units oQtside of Academic Affairs, such as student life and
business affairs, brought almost $690,000 to campus.
Part of the reason grant activity has increased deals with the creation of the Extram~al Support Initiative in 1988.
A noticeable decrease in the number of written proposals made
Staszak aware of the need for a tangible plan that would enlarge the
number of proposals and, in turn, the amount of extramural financial awards.
This plan called for, and received, money that provided staffworkshops and input from grantwriting experts to help UWSP employees
in their quest for outside funding.
"The Extramural ~pport Initiative has solidified the university's
invesunent in the gr4,ntwriting process," Staszak says.

Gillen wins logging
competition
From A Sand County Almanac
"For every atom lost to the sea,. the prairie
pulls another out of the decaying rocks. The
only certain truth is that its creatures must
suck hard, live fast, and die often, lest its
losses exceed its gains."
A forestry student at UWSP
has won the Game of Logging regional competition and will compete in the national contest next
month in Nelsonville, Ohio.
John Gillen, a senior forest
man~gement
major from
Medford, Minnesota, won a $600
Husqvarna chain saw in the regional games at Marquette,
Michigan earlier this month.
He will represent Wisconsin
in competition with two representatives from each state at the national meet.
Wisconsin's other delegate
will be William O'Brion, a senior
from Columbus, Ohio.
Because 0 'Brion competed at
the regional level, even though
he did not win, he is eligible to
be one of two state representatives
at nationals.
The Game of Logging was
founded by veteran logger Soren
Eriksson to improve safety in the
profession.
The competition consists of a
series of scored events measuring
logging skills and safety at both
the collegiate and professional
levels.
Competitors are required to
file and adjust carburetors of
chain saws, do precision boring,
cutting, and felling, be fast and
accurate, wear protective garb
and follow all safety rule~.
People who are inaccurate
with estimating and cutting or
who neglect to take proper precautions such as having face
shields and ear protectors in
place, lose points off their total
scores.
Gillen compiled 89 points out
ofapossibletotaloflOO. The second-place finisher from Michigan Technical University earned
85.
Sixteen profe_ssional loggers
from Wisconsin and Michigan
alsocompetedagainsteachother
at the ,regional event.
, Gillen says UWSP forestry
students are fortunate because
training and safety are emphasized in their academic and extracurricular programs.
The students are taught how
to handle saws and are given opportunities to go into the field to
cut pulp.
He says he has learned his lessons so well he can spot safety
violations at a glance. The
UWSP campus also has an active
Society of American Foresters
(SAF) organiZation which sets up
additional educational programs
and training exercises.
Gillen serves as vice president
and O'Brion is president of the
70-member student SAF chapter.
Gillen also is involved with
the Wildlife Society and Xi
Sigma Pi, the natural resources
honor society.
He holds an associate degree
in wildlife management from
Brainerd Technical College,
Minnesota, and plans to gradu- .
ate from UWSP in May with his
wife, Pam Gillen, who will also
receive a bachelor's degree in forest management.

Walleye and musky stocking completed
Nearly 1.25 million walleye
fingerlings and 23,248 muskellunge fingerlings have been
stocked into Wisconsin fishing
waters from rearing ponds managed by the fisheries staff at the
Art Oehmcke State Fish Hatchery at Woodruff, reports Bruce
Underwood, supervisor of the
warm water fisheries unit here.
The 1,225,698 walleyes were
two to three inches in length at
the time they were released into
state fishing waters.
The fish were reared during
the spring and summer months
at three locations.
These locations are Winding
Creek in Marathon County which
produced 600,000 walleye fingerlings, Presque Isle Pond in Vilas
· County that yielded 318,953
walleyes and the Oehmcke
Hatchery ponds where 306,745
walleye fingerlings were reared.
This year, four of the ponds
at the Art Oehmcke Hatchery
were dedicated to walleye production.
Survival of walleyes from initial fry planted in the ponds to
harvesting for stocking in Wisconsin waters varied from a low
of 53 percent to a high of 96 percent.
The average return was 77
percent from fry to fingerling.
The muskie fingerlings were
raised to an average 11.5 inches
in length. At that size, there are
3.4 muskellunge fingerlings to
the pound, said Underwood.
About 4,000 of the muskies
were reared at the Tamarack
Rearing Pond near Conover in
Vilas County.
Additionally, a minimum of
10 percent of the fry hatched from
the walleye and muskellunge
eggs were returned to the lakes
where the spawn was taken.
The l 0 percent returned fry
usually is better production than
will occur in a lake under natural hatching conditions.
Underwood said unu.sually
warm water entering the ponds
from Madeline Lake during
record high temperatures in June
caused some rearing problems.
The temperature of the water
flowing into the ponds usually is
in the low 70-degree Fahrenheit
range.
On June 21 and June 22, the
water from Madeline lake was 83
degrees Fahrenheit., about ten
degrees higher than normal.
The temperature of water entering the hatchery during egg incubation, on the other hand, can·
be controlled with great precision.
Underwood told how he is
now able to time the hatching of
walleye, muskellunge and sucker
eggs by using a computerized
water- flow temperature control
system.
For example, prior to renovation when uncontrolled water
temperatures in the sucker hatchingjars ran too warm, the sucker
hatch got ahead of muskie
growth.

Sitting outside our youth hostel in Lindau, Germany, my traveling companions and I watched a brilliant pink sun set over the
Rhine River.
A soft, cool breeze blew, ushering out the unbearable heat of
the day.
We sat dangling our feet over a stone wall, watching and reflecting in appreciation and exhaustion.
It was the second to last night of the European Studies Seminar
for the College of Natural Resources.
Thirty-eight of us had spent five weeks travelling around Germany and Poland learning about European Resource Management
but di~overing even more about ourselves.
We spent a week in Berlin learning how to live in a large foreign city and enjoying the depth and richness of European history.
Lectures about forestry, water treatment and wildlife were balanced with free time for exploration of cultural highlights.
We were both students and tourists and the two roles allowed
for a broad learning experience.
We poun~ed the pavement in Berlin and Krakow and hiked in
the Biezchady Mountains of Poland.
We learned about air pollution and scotch pine and about the
rigors of communicating in foreign nations.
Three weeks of the trip were spent at a castle in the Black Forest, a welcome haven after nearly two weeks of constant traveling.
Surrounding the castle, wooded, rolling hills delighted us; we
were truly away from it all, our desires for civilization were diluted
by thoughts of the hour walk to town.
Time on the trip went slowly. Every day was packed with new
sights-amazing landscapes and picturesque old buildings.
By the end of our trip, I had seen and experienced an array of
new things and met thirty-eight new people.
I was exhausted and ready to return to the familiarity of America,
a slightly different person after seeing another glimpse of the world.

.Soccer nets a pair of ' '
conference victories
By Mike Beacom
SPOKrS EDITOR
After suffering their first loss
· of the season •n a 2-1 battle
against a tough team in
Macalester, the UWSP soccer
team bounced back to win its next
· two games, each against
conference opponents.
The Pointers, now 8-1 and
5-0 in the conference, kept
rolling desp* Wednesday's loss,
showing some team character.
"Whenever you have a loss,
you've got to pick it up," said
ninth year head coach Sheila
Miech. "We don't want to lose
anymore games."
Stevens Point's fil'st test came
on Saturday when they met up
with River Falls, who along with
Point, was also undefeated
heading into the match up.
Becky Brem gave the
Pointers an early lead with an
unassisted goal coming less than
eleven minutes into the game.
Later, a Jody Rosenthal pass
to Erin Leinweber would finish
up the day's scoring and give
Point the win.
Sunday brought another conference opponent high in the
standings, La Crosse.
Both clubs would fail to score
in the first half, but at the 60
minute mark, Leinweber got
UWSP on the board.
The junior from Oshkosh
would add an assist later on in---._
the game, as Stevens Point
claimed another 2-0 victocy.
Goal keeper Savonte Walker
continued her strong play, and ·
has given up only three goals in
nine games this season.
" (Savonte) is really playing
well right now," said Miech.
But as Miech points out, a lot
of her success can be accredited
to the defense as a whole.
One of these defenders is Kim
Cwik, a sophomore defender
from Brookfield. Cwik was
recognized as the conference
player of the week.
Point won't face another
conference team until a week
from Saturday when they head
to Platteville.

Fish
CoNTINUED FROM PAGE 8
When that • happened, the
suckers frequently became too big
to be eaten by the young game
fish.
The new system enables the
facility to resolve this problem.
This was the first year for
muskellunge production and the
second year for walleye production at the newly renovated Art
Oehmcke Fish Hatchery.
The Spooner Fish Hatchery is
not in production this year due
to construction.
The walleyes reared by the
Oehmcke Hatchery staff and
other Department ofNatural Resources facilities enabled the
DNR to meet all of its walleye
. stocking quotas statewide for
1995.
When the new Spooner facility gets on-line in 1996, even
greater hatchery production of
walleye and muskellunge can be
expected to meet statewide management needs.
