gamered more than $2.8 million in grants
from outside sources during the fiscal year
of 1998. Extramural grants are grants re- ceived by the university from external
agencies, corporations and governmental
. organizations.
Agencies such as the Natioool Science
Foundation, National Endowment for the
Arts, and Wisconsin Department ofNatural Resources are examples of sources of
these grants.
"We achieved an exceptional record of
funded proposals this past year and are
well on our way to surpass $3 million in
extramural grants," stated David Swzak,
- associate vice chancellor for academic
programs and grant support services.

Dance Teacher magazine spotlighted the UW-Stevens Point in it's September issue
in the section featuring dance programs in institutions of higher education. Other
schools featured in previous issues include Columbia College in Chicago.
"It is totally exciting and I am honored to see the program portrayed in such a
positive light," said Susan Gingrasso, h~ad of the dance department
The article stated that the interdisciplinary options gave the program a marquee
value. This option enables students to design their own program, integrating dance
with other artforms or academic disciplines.
. . "We are, of course, quite proud," said Arthur Hopper, theater and dance department
chair. "We have a dance curriculum that is not matched because of our good instructors,
and talented students who choose to come here."
This statement is validated with the program's ranking as one of the top 25 dance
programs in the nation for 1998 in another national publication Darice Spirit. Top pro-

Grouse season is off with a _bang
- ----~-
By Andy Chlkowski
• OurooollS REPORTER
The Wisconsin grouse hunting season operied Sept. 18, and
is off to a great start. The population cycle is near peak this year
and there are a good number of
birds out there to be hunted.
Hunters should have plenty of opportunities to get out of the house
or classroom and flush some
birds.
Ruffed grouse are scattered
throughout Wisconsin with most
of the population concentrated in
the northern part of the state.
Grouse can easily catch you off
guard by the startling sound of
them erupting from the brush.
Grouse are tough to hit. More
often than not, grouse are missed.
Grouse mainly feed on berries, buds, leaves, and insects.
They tend to live in alder, birch
and poplar thickets. A great spot
to fmd grouse is in young, dense
forests with_ scattered evergreen
trees.
Walking through thick brush
isn't easy, but it will definitely increase your chances of flushing
birds.
While grouse hunting is exciting
enough; hunting with a pointing
dog can make your hunt that
much more enjoyable. It not only
helps flush more birds, but also
gives you the chance to watch the
dog work.
Hunting behind a pointer, as
I did-Jast weekend, is a great experience. The sense of smell and
intuition of a pointing dog is unreal. The ability to lock on point
while being so focused on a
nearby grouse is a fascinating
thing to see. When a dog goes on
point it's a signal that the bird is
close, and for the hunter to get
ready. In the future, I'll defmitely
hunt with a pointer again.
It's not uncommon to jump
several birds a day, but even wit,h
a pointer getting a good shot is
the hard part. If you bag a grouse
or two, that's a plus.
·
'
Spending a day in the woods
in the pursuit of ruffed grouse
makes a quality day, especially
with a pointing dog. If you're up
for a challenge, h~ad for the
woods and flush some grouse.

The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships lie just around the corner for the OW-Stevens Point tennis team.
The Pointers got a taste of their conference ·
competition hosting UW-Whitewater Friday and
UW-La Crosse Saturday for Homecoming.
"We were expecting two really tough
matches," Head Coach Nancy Page said. "Both
Whitewater and La Crosse are very strong in all
of the positions."
Individually, the Pointers earned several victories, but overall could not compete with the
strength of the two WIAC opponents as both
visiting teams defeated the Pointers 6-3 overall.
Saturday, Tammy Byrne and Heather Janssen
both won in singles, while Jen Derse and Laura

versus La Crosse.

victory over St. Norbert College Sunday:

"Being Homecoming weekend, staying focused and winning two'
games," Head Coach Sheila Miech said, "I have to give (the team) a lot
of credit."
Sunday, the Pointers outshot the Green Knights 29-2 but failed to
put points on the board until the 84th minute. Ending the deadlock;
Marie Muhvic outplayed the St. Norbert defense to nail home her
eleventh goal of the season and first Pointer goal of the game.
Teammate Margaret Domka added the deuce with just over a minute
left to clinch the UW-SP 2-0 win and send the Knights home with their
ninth straight loss to Point.
"They gave us a good game, which is what we needed," Miech
said, "Our defense stayed very focused."

Rumored to believe they
would knock off the Pointers, La
Crosse endured a sound beating
Saturday and left Stevens Point
confidently on top of the WIAC
rankings.
With the first half barely
started, the Pointen gathered five
.goals in 25 minutes to take a definitive 1~.
Heather Camps opened up the
scoring barrage off an assist by
Jennifer Davis four minutes into
the game, followed by Muhvic's
firstgoalofhereventualhattrick
atthe 15:30mark.
Micky Jacob and LaQJ'a Gissibl
set up a third goal by Michelle ·
Mauel, while Davis blazed
.through finding the seemingly
empty net unassisted four minutes later.
Gissibl ended the eight-minute
shootout off assist from Hope
Wadel to take the 5-0 lead.
The second-half scoring performance was all Muhvic as she
completed her hat trick with a second unassisted goal, then the final Pointer goal assisted by Davis
and Gissibl.
Point outshot the Eagles 25-4
and improved the UW-SP conference record to 6-0.
Outscoring their conference
opponents 30-1 this season, the
Pointers face only UW-Superior
and OW-Platteville before the
WIAC tournament.
"Right now, it's a good feeling
to be top seed with only two teams
left to play," said Miech.
Looking ahead to the immediate future, UW-SP welcomes

"It was a wake-up call for the .

are like," men's Head Coach Rick
Witt said.
The Pointers rested their top
runners in preparation for this
weekend's trip to LaCrosse . .
Facing 35 teams overall, including the University of Wisconsin and I 0 of the top 15 Division

Pointer-s on the ·g_o:
Mike Kemmeter
By Ryan Lins
AssiSTANT FEATURES EorroR
Pointer alumni Mike ~emmeter's name is synonymous with sports
and hard ~ork both at UW-Stevens Point and the community. With
over I 0 extra-curricular sports in his high school and college days at
UW-Stevens Point to his credit, it is hard to fathom any free !ime at
all.
Kemmeter, born in Stevens Point in 1977, attended local p6wer·house Stevens Point Pacelli high school whete he. was team captain
of the men's cross-country team for two years. Kemmeter was also a
four-year letter winner in track at Pacelli.
A passionate fan of sports, Kemmeter kept his love of athletics
alive at UW-SP. Mike covered Pointer hockey on the radio, and anchored shows on the Dawgs' football and basketball exploits on STV.
"Mike is a fun guy in general, and that made him a fun guy to
work with," said Jeff Burhandt, station manager of 90 FM.

musical smash, The Phan;tom of

accomplishments.
I Lost My Heart to a Starship T.rooper
This s<ing shows really shows
change she has made to her
over the years. She sounded

and it is typical early British
Wave movement. This song Pn •.nv•'i/1

gang starred in the sci-fi ·

The Phantom of the Opera
The role of Christine was
for her voice. She took
lessons with Pavarotti, and she
ends up sou_nding shrill at
points. However, Phantom has
to be Brightman's greatest
through the years.
"See, it says 'right here, most c;ouples have sel
by the time they're our age."
Songs That Got Away
Brightman's
attempt
to
·go
Broadway. In this album, she
recorded songs from Broadwayproductions that have flopped. They
include the beautifully written
Meadowlark frotn The Baker's Wife
and Half a Moment from Andrew
Lloyd Webber's first flop- By
Jeeves.
Dark Star rises from Dead
As I Came of Age
It seems that Brightman has never
lost her quest to become a pop star.
Having established herself firmly as
a musical theater star, she attempts
to cross the pop borderline with this
album. It is an a)bum full of
forgettable songs.
Dark Star Orchestra, a Grateful' Dead cover band, has been a
rather huge topic around campus
lately.
While Dark Star Orchestra
doesn't have any albums out for
sale, I was fortunate to get my
hands on a promotional disc. I
liked it so much that I couldn't
help but write a review on it.
I was astounded as soon as the
first song started playing. This
band sounds exactly like The
Dead!
f mean if I were to hear an
audio Sample of Dark Star Orchestra and The Dead (like a
blind taste test), I'm not sure,I
would be able to tell the difference.
Not only does this band play
the music of The Dead, they recreate actual shows in their entirety.
The disc is a live recording of
Dive
Released in 1993, this album shows
Brightman's attempt to tum to
another musical direction: New Age.
This -album contains an ethereal
touch with the sea as the main
theme. To be honest, her voice is
totally unsuitable for thi~ genre.
The Trees, They Grow So High
Re-issued in 1995, this album is
Sarah Brightman's first classical
album. Originally released in 1988,
this album features a collection of
English folk tunes arranged by.
Benjamin Britten.
By Steven Schoemer
Music CRITIC
/)ark Star Orchestra perfonning
at the Barrymore Th_eatre in
Madison, Wis., and includes
songs such as "Samson _& .
Delilah" and "Scarlet Begonias."
The show was a recreation of The
Dead at Broome County Arena
in Binghamton, N.Y. on Nov. 11,
1977.
Dark Star Orchestra is: John
Kadlecik on lead guitar and vocals, Scott Larned on keyboards,
Mike Maraat on rhythm guitar
and vocals, Michael Hazdra on
bass, Mark Corsolini and Ahmer
Nizam on drums, and '='isa
Mackey on backing vocals.
this is a band to check out.
If you have been paying attention
to all the hype, you know that
they will be playing here on campus in the Laird Room of the
University Center on Wednesday,
Oct. 27.
