Governor Tommy Thompson
signed the long-awaited state
budget on Wednesday, Oc_t. 27,
committing $90 million to the UWsystem, the largest share it has
seen in 10 years.
The budget, which is passed
every two years, allocated $75 million for the original request, plus .
an additional $15 million for the
Pay Plan. The Pay Plan has been
instituted to bring uw faculty

A study by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) which was published in The Journal o{the Ame~ican
Medical Societv. found that incidents of the Meningococcal Meningitis bacterial infection are three times
higher among college students living on campus than for any other population.
.
Meningitis is an inflammation ofthe lining surrounding the brairt and spinal cord. One form ofbactenal
meningitis, meningococcal, ha~ recently gained the interest of the medical world.
This bacterial infection has been on the rise in university environments. The infection causes very
serious illness, even death if not treated promptly.
.
According to'researchers at the CDC, whose findings were recently published in the aforementioned
journal, this disease strikes r.oughly 2,600 Americans per year. Approximately 13 percent of these ~ases lead
to death, equaling more than 300 deaths annually.
·
The bacteria that cause the meningococcal infection are not as contagious as the
(Ph t b

Meningococcal meningitis is particularly
dangerous for two reasons. Primarily, It is relatively rare. Approximately 5 to 10 percent of
the general population carry the bacteria in
the nose and throat without becoming ill.
During an epidemic, the carrier rate may increase to rates as high as 95 percent, with

Secondly, the infection is dangerous in
f\ /"">
that it is deceptive. The symptoms of menin· . . . .l
gococcal meningitis may first appear to be
those of the typical flu; fever over I 01 degrees Farenheit, a severe and sudden headJ
ache, and neck and back stiffness. Mental
changes such as agitation, confusion and .
coma and a rash of tiny red and purple-black
spots may accompany these symptoms.
The infection can progress to severe meningococcal disease in a very short time.

average for the frrsttime in eight
years. This allows the UW System to more ably compete for the
new faculty as more people retire every year. ·
"We hope to see an increase
in diversity, beyond women to
people of color," said SGA Legislative Issues Director, Michael
Roth, when asked how UWStevens Point students may experience a difference as a result
of the extra provisions for faculty.
"We [SGA] are very pleased
overall with the budget. We have
some minor disagreements, such
as only $1 million was set aside
for Plan 2008, but it is good overall." said Roth.

Portage Co. United Way seeks support
The United Way touches the
lives of many Portage County
children, elderly and disabled
through the services of agencies
such as the Family Crisis Center,
Department of Aging, and community industries. This year,
United Way officials have set a
fund-raising goal of $1.425 million, a 5.1 percent increase over
last year, based on identified
needs ofthe community.
I want to thank the faculty and
staff who contributed to the
United Way last year, and I
strongly encourage you to participate again in this important fund
drive. I hope that more colleagues
will join you and me in supporting this worthy cause. Even relatively modest amounts provide
critically needed services. For example, 50 cents per week helps
Mid-State Epilepsy provide support and education to four people
with epilepsy. And, one dollar per
week will shelter a homeless person at the Salvation Army for five
days. The United Way's low overhead cost (15 percent) assures
that virtually all we give benefits
someone less fortunate.
We are asking Provost Meyer
and the deans to assume responsibility for encmuaging college .
participation in the United Way
campaign, and Assistant Chancellors Greg Diemer and Helen
Godfrey to support participation

The United States is portrayed
in the media as an innocent bystander in the recent elections in
East Timor, in which close to 80
percent of the people voted for independence from Indonesia. This
portrayal is not accurate.
President Ford and Secretary
of State Henry Kissinger were in
Jakarta the day before the Indonesian invasion of East Timor,
Dec. 7, 1975, and gave a green
light to the invasion. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,
Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
blocked implementation of all
U.N. resolutions against the in-
Ou'l'TA
to zero. This fact'is from a study
by noted MIT professor and political activist Noam Chomsky.
Now, over 20 years later, when
Indonesian death squads are
again rampaging through East
Timor, another media whitewash
of the U.S; role is in progress.
All that would be required to
end these terrible atrocities in
East Timor would be a stem lecture by the paymaster, the United
States. The IMF certainly got its
austerity program implemented
in Indonesia. Call your representatives and President Clinton!

Vote 'yes' twice Nov. 2
ttict and
Stevens Point voters face a
Nov. 2 referendum asking ifwe
should direct $54 million toward
improving our local schools. On
the face of it, this figure sounds
like a heck of a lot, but the average voter may not realize this
amount is a mere fraction of what
is spent in a single day by the
Pentagon during so-called
"peacetime."

allocating an extra $3 million for

John Cornwell's book "Hitler's Pope: The

Respect gay and.lesbian community
On Oct. 11, students across
that state of Wisconsin joined efforts to celebrate "Nationill Coming Out Day." The purpose of this
day is to raise awareness and promote support of the LGBT community. While students walked
around campus seeing chalk
signs, posters, speakers, and
events of the, day, hopefully everyone took a minute to tinderstand their own personal attitudes
towards homosexuality.
Unfortunately for some individuals, previous feelings of anger or hate must be addressed, Yet
for many members and allies of
the LGBT community, this is a
day to be proud, a day of acceptance, and a time to celebrate the
' magnitude of diversity within our
University.
LGBT organizations are often
scrutinized for their efforts to
raise awareness on campus,
through accusations of chalking
under darkness because they are
"ashamed," or voicing their pride
as a means to "recruit" others into
their lifestyle. These are a fe'V of
the many reasons that awareness
is needed.
Gays and allies should have
no reason to be ashamed. For
many people, the process of
"coming out" is a difficult period
of personal growth, when feelings
of rejection, suppression, and
confusion must be worked out.
Gays do not recruit. Allies and
members of the LGBT community understand that being gay is
not a choice. Rather, being gay is
who they are. Students who do
not accept the gay community
may need additional information
about "being gay," to eliminate
negative attitudes and ensure a
respectful environment for everyone.
In addition to the awareness
led by student organizations,
United Council of UW students
has started a LGBT Network to
continue these efforts. During the
General Assembly on Oct. 15,
representatives from all the UW
campuses joined together to create action plans for students and
allies of the gay community. The
reason for this. is simple; everyone deserves a chance to oe heard.
Under-represented demographics
must unite efforts to assure. respect for everyone, and respect
begins in an institutional environment which incorporates diversified viewpoints.

understand why Mr. Chen reviewed a show that already
closed. His criticism was irrelevant to readers.
Secondly, when Mr. Chen admonishes a performer for their
costume choice, he shows his obvious ignorance of theatre be-
cause collegiate performers have
no input into costume choice; it
is done by a costume designer. His
insipid criticism of this play was
uncalled for, irrelevant and ultimately only embarrassing to himself.

Audubon's legacy and passion
burns bright almost 150 years
after h-is death.
Born in San Domingo, Haiti
to a plantation owner and a
French
Creole
servant,
Audubon's mother died shortly
after giving birth. Audubon's father, in addition to running the
plantation, was a French Naval
Captain as well. He remarried
and returned to France, bringing
his family with him. At the age
of four, Audubon began culminating his interest for birds, collecting feathers and eggs. He began sketching birds after his father gave him a book on the subject.
Audubon moved to Mill
Grove, Penn. at the age of 18 to
avoid joining Napoleon's army
and fighting against England.
Mill Grove marked the age of
focus and direction for
Audubon's artistic talents.
An avid hunter, Audubon invented the wire armature, a contraption that holds a freshly killed
bird in lifelike, action position.
The result: trademark Audubon,
realistic life-size drawings that
ornithologists used as an information base for their research.
Audubon gathered together
a
his book The Birds ofAmerica.
Unfortunately publishers
within the United ~tates refused
to publish it because of its size.
Park, located south of the Ohio
River in western Kentucky, dedicated to the artistic ornithologist,
preserves the natural ecosystem
to harbor a symbiotic relationship
with the birds and other wildlife
within its boundaries.
Audubon's legacy is unending. He has left behind the purest pieces of his unrequited love
· for nature and the animals
within.
Audubon had no lhoice but to

"It's time for deer hunters tci take on the rot of deer managers,"
said Tom Bahti, regional wildlife manager fo the Department of
Natural Resources. '
~'Hunting is our primary tool for managing eer populations and ,
without a significantantlerless harvest to re<tu e populations, we'll
certainly see larger herds next season. All kind of scenarios crop up
when populations get this high, more deer cross g roads, more deercaused damage to crops and forests, and more deer wandering into
urban areas."
Larry konopacki, assistant deer and bear cologist for the Department of Natural Resources explained, "O~r wildlife biologists
have determined that whitetail deer populatiops in these management units are significantly above population loals and that the traditional deer hunting season framework woul not be expected to
reduce populations to within 20 percent of the stablished goals."
· Both Bahti and Konopacki stress that alth ugh there is public
land in Zone-T units, most acres are in private ownership.
"I can't say enough," said Bahti, "about ho important it is that
hunters work with landowrters to get access t the deer on private
lands. Early contact, respect for landowner ri ts and property, of-fers of help with annual chores, whatever it ta es to gain access is
necessarx if we're going to manage deer popul tions within our prescribed limits."

John Muir's words, "going to
the mountains is going home,"
can be related to the revitalizing
effects of nature on the human
soul. Nature_enthusiasts easily
identify with the significance of
a special location in the wild.
One such location is the TurtleFlambeau Scenic Waters Area of
Price County. Offering unrefmed
wilderness, the flowage is a place
of solace.
Initially created by the
Chippewa and Flambeau Improvement Company in 1926, the
flowage resulted from the damming of the Flambeau and Turtle
Rivers. The state took ownership
of the flowage 'in 1990 and gave
management responsibilities to
the Departtnent of Natural Resources. Today, the wilderness
area is comprised of23,000 acres,

M6st Memorable Moment: Breaking my collarbone. That was a great feeling. I saw
my season ending like those moments when your life flashes before your" eyes.
Who was your idol growing up?: Joe Montana. He might not have been the fastest
or strongest, but he won games and won the Super Bowl. And I've always looked
up to iny dad.
What do you plan to do after you graduate?: Be a porn star and be a good one, but
ifthat doesn't work, I' II hang around college until someone tells me to leave.
Biggest achievement in sports: Last year we beat La Crosse and we won the
conference ~hampionship.
Favorite aspect of football: The competition and just hanging out with the guys.
Most Embarassing Moment: Every Saturday night.
·
What will you remember most about playing football at UW-SP?: All ofthe friends
I've met. Winning the conference championship was great and playing all four
years. But if I ever get a ring for someone, I know a couple of those guys will be
standing up there with me.

moose, timber wolves, and fish. ers are among the furbearing

Walleye, muskellunge, northern

Dark Star Orchestra, a Grateful Dead cover band, played the

Dark Star Orchestra has made
its name from recreating actual
Grateful Dead concerts in their
·entirety.
They kicked off the show with
Cold Rain ·a nd Snow, and the
crowd went crazy as.soon as John
Kadlecik chimed in on vocals,
sounding exactly like Jerry
Garcia.
Shawn Retherford, a UWStevens Point senior said, "I
thought Jerry was dead, but I
guess not. Long live their music."
Originating in Chicago, Dark
Star formed two years ago. All
members of_the band came from
different Grateful Dead cover
bands.
According to bassist Michael
Hazdra, Dark Star~s crowd has
literally doubled for each of its
first four performances.

Student band Pangaea
to play Encore
When Dawn Schlund found out that "Haze," the band that was scheduled to play Halloween weekend, was canceling only a
month before the sliow, she worried about wliat could be done. The_
remedy exceeded her expectations.
"Once I found Pangaea, it took all the pressure off," Said Schlund,
Alternative Sounds Coordinator for Centertainment Productions.
AltQough the band formed only recently, Pangaea has achieved
great success. Within the past few months, they have showcased at a
•
variety of local venues including the Mission Coffeehouse and last
year's International Dinner.
Bruce Medhurst, rhythm guitar player for the band, said that playing the International Dinner was their first showcase at UW-Stevens
Point and it led to some great opportunities for them. After playing . ~
the campus dinner, they were asked to perform at the "Shawano Old
World Folk Festival" this summer.
Medhurst says that the band is extremely excited io be on campus
once again.
"I don't think I even talked to everyone else, I just said we'lltak:e
it," he said.
Schlund feels the same way. "I love having ··local bands
showcased,"said Schlund. "I think it's really important to display
the talent we have among our students."
·
Actually, all of the members of Pangaea are current UW-SP students or Alumni. Members include: Mike Fichtinger, alumnist Vin~ie
Miresse, Bruce Medhurst and Amy Grosnek.
Their creative blend of ethnic sounds from around the world with
a taste ofjazz and blues creates an innovative sound that's a bit unique.
The most interesting feature is that the band incorporates unusual
instruments such as a didjeridu and indigenous pereussion to create .
a jammin,' folky sound all of its own.
Pangaea performs this Friday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. in the UC Encore. The show is tree with a UW-SP ID and $2 without.
All attendees are invited to wear a costume, bring candles and .
their best jack-o-lanterns to get the weekend rolling. Medhurst even
mentioned that the band will be dressed up for the Halloween Ball.

An Offering of Peace
By Kelvin Chen
A
,fter a decade of silence,
Eurythmics as a duo, are
back to appease their
demented fans with a peace
offering in the form of an album
entitled Peace. From the
moment Peace blared on the
speakers, it sounded as if the
British duo never said good-bye
to all their fans. Back are their
signature sounds of rock guitar
blending with synthesizers that
dominated the 80's new wave
movement in music. What is
even more unforgettable is the
voice of Annie Lennox with her
, distinctive haunting quality that
. sends chills through one's heart.
Peace is basically Eurythmics'
cry to the problems of the world
today. From the song titles, one
can easily guess the lyrical
direction. Titles like /Saved the

Meek, Peace is Just a Word... all

to world issues, On a personal note, one cannot
ics' stand on the help but feel that Peace is
somewhat a drag down on
Lennox's part. She has already
successfully launched herself as
a solo artiste, and Peace at
times constrain to Lennox's
musical talent. Eurythmics' success is during the 80s and that is
probably where it should be
best remembered. The 90s'
sound comes across at some
points like a rehash from the
decade of excesses, offering
nothing dynamic.
Peace is probably a testament
to how far Eurythmics has
come. After I 0 years, both
Annie Lennox and Dave
Stewart have successfully
established themselves in their
solo careers. Despite the fact
that both confessed that this
album is probably their best
work to date, much remains to
be seen if their music will be
embraced by a new generation.
Peace is currently out in stores.
