"These handicrafts for sale are an expression of traditional culures from around the world and will brighten your home and the lives
,fthe artisans who make them," said Samuel Larson, a student volun-
eer.
The handicrafts are made by people from third world countries and
1rovide a means for them to earn money. Often times, inco~e from
heir work enables the artisans to send their children to school, obtain . .
tealth care and improve their homes.
"We only work with handicrafts; it is our -existence," said Hugo
- :Jomez, an artesian in El Puyo, Ecuador. .
Sales -like the Third World Craft Sale, sponsored by ASE, depend
argely on volunteers. Fifteen volunteers from UW-SP have underaken the task of making this event a reality. They will unpack crafts,
erve as sales cle~ks and follow-up after the event.
"Its is a way.for us to help people in the third world countri~s who
,,ave no other way to make a living - even from the middle of
.Visconsin,"said Larson.
In the past, this event has attracted students as well as members of
1e community-. "It is an even that a lot of people in the community get
wolved in. The sale items make great gift items." siad Larson.
The sale will be held at the Laird Room in the University Center,

First Amendment strength questioned
I and a number of other stu-
den~, are. enraged about the let-
ters that caused the life drawing
exhibit to be removed prematurely. Obviously, this censorship
proves thatthe First Amendment
only is in effect if it's in the best
interests of a handful of people.
Some of the letters received called
the drawings pornography. Most
college-age people like myself
. know the difference between art
and porn, but here's a defmition
that might help some out a bit:
Pornography: writings, photographs, movies etc. intended to
arouse sexual excitement. Especially such materials that have
little or no artistic merit.
I've seen the drawings. All of
the students, myself included,
worked very hard on them, and
getting turned on by them was the
furthest thing from our minds. I
know this is· Stevens Point, but
this is an ART building. We have
every right to display our drawings. If you want to ask why,just
count the :kount of churches in
the world ~at have nude paintings in thenlt, or walk into any art
museum. I churches, the most
sacred plac there could be, have
naked men and women in them,
why not a art building? Life
drawing is
so it should be able
to be displa ed. Plain and simple:
Another ac usation I got a kick
out of wa the fact that these
drawings " ount .to .pornography are li ely to victimize any
number of eople, whether it be
someone ith a personal weakness, a pa serby with a sexual
abuse histo , or any number of
.the college stuiients who are yet
to be sexu ly abused this year."
See above efmition of pornography pie se. If someone's a
sexual pre ator, they're going to
be perve whether or not they
happen to troll throu.gh the fme
arts cou
rd before attacking
their next. ictim.
If all atjts sm,dents are shar-
I
ing their building, why should we
take down our drawings? Other
art (music or theatre) majors play
their instruments and sing loudly
in the courtyar~, and this isn't a
problem.
As for children seeing it, it is
basically prudish people telling
their children that the human
nude is bad, and their children
will grow up thinking it's bad,
which will lead to a nasty circle.
If your personal views and
beliefs tell you that the human
nude is bad, that's your opinion.
In others' opinions, it can be an
object of beauty. Just take a look
at
the
famous
artists
Michaelangelo,
Botticelli,
Reubens and Raphael. I'm not
comparing our life drawings to
theirs by any means, but if The
Creation of Adam were p~inted
in our courtyard, would it be
deemed offensive and be removed? I don't think so.

The UW-Stevens Point swimming and diving
teams kicked off their seasons last Saturday with a
. blowout win over the UW-Eau Claire Blugolds.
"I thought (Eau Claire) would be tougher than
they were. It seemed they're not in shape yet," Head
Coach AI Boelk said.
"A lot of their swimmers are out because of injury, illness and eligibility reasons. Traditionally,
we work harder in the ,beginning of the year, but I
didn't expect such a blowout."
"But after the first relay, after we totally blew
them away with our first relays," Boelk continued, _
"you could see it in their eyes, we were going to
win."
The Pointer women defeated Eau Claire 152-91
to claim their second consecutive win over the
Blugolds. Point broke Eau Claire's 17-year winning
streak ~vtlr
-SP last year by the narrow margin
of 122-121 points in a dual meet.
The women started Saturday's meet claiming first

St. Norbert added a meaningless goal with 2:06 remaining.
Saturday night's game became
reminiscent of a battle ground as
the teams combined for 31 penalties and St. Norbert attempted to
match the Pointers in a different
manner.
The strategy succeeded as
. UW-SP couldn't keep its cool and
the Green Knights cruised to an
8-2win.
St. Norbert jumped out to a 30 lead before Point was able _to cut
the lead to one on goals by Marco
Capizzano and Ryan Maxson.
From there it was all Green
Knights, though, as they capitalized on three of five power-play
_opportunities and a pair of shorthanded chances for the game.
Meanwhile, UW-SP was zero for
seven on the powerplay.

Dance Club invades UW-SP
Since Tremors, the UW-Stevens Point dance club folded last year
there has been a large unfilled chasm on campus. It has been almost
a year since this University has had an outlet for students to get
crazy in a "club type" atmosphere.
Centertainment Productions, with a big boost from local radio
station 95.5 WIFC is hoping to remedy that problem. This Thursday Nov. 4, the walls of the Encore will be shaking and the bass will
be pumping to some oftoday's top 40 hits with Club WIFC.
Club WIFC has been a success in Central Wisconsin over the
past few years, and a stop at UW-SP just seemed natural.
"[The purpose] of Club WIFC is to provide programming for
- those interested in dancing on campus," said Allsistant Director of
Campus Activities Greg Diekroeger.
Pointer express will have food and refreshments for sale.· The
club is open from 9-12 p.m. Cost is free for UW-SP students, and $4
for non-students.

This week Annie and I will square off in the
lonely ring about the legalization of all drugs.
The facts are simple; thousands of Americans
are imprisoned every year because of drug charges.
In the case of soft drugs, mostly non-violent people.
This is economically very foolish.
Tiw fact that drugs themselves are illegal causes
more crime than it prevents. If the government·
would fmally get some cahonics and put price caps
on drugs we could eliminate many problems of
contemporary society.
With the government in control, prices would
be affordable, thus reducing the need to break the
law such as theft, robbery, and even murder for
users.
The positives oflegalization are numerous. First
the government could tax all drug sales. Taxing
drugs could double the amount of revenue used on
education and rehabilitating those who want to be
clean. Another plus is that family farmers could
grow a crop of marijuana on the side and fmally
make ends meet.
I know a possible rebut to this argument will be
thilt we don't need drug users in a variety of professions like public transportation and other hazardous occupations.
· Problem easily solved. Make mandatory testing part of almost every high profile, and dangerous occupation. Come up with a system of testing
drivers easy, make the punishment comparable to
DWI.
Let drug users stay on the fringe of society.
When they want to rejoin the upper levels of the
work force they will be forced to either quit using,
or work at McDonalds.
To use or not to use drugs should be the
individual's choice. There will also be a variety of
treatment options for people who want to recover.
Empty the prisons and jails of non-violent users. With legalization looming they won't have that
job to fall back on when they get out. Anyway, we
all would rather see a sex offender locked up for
life than some taxpayer who likes to smoke an occasional joint.
going to start off by saying that Jagree with
on o~ly one account. Of course I would rather
sex-offenders in prison rather than pot-smokindividuals. Wouldn't you all? What a dumb
to write.
, to start ripping Ryan's article apart, I
agree with any of the rest of it. He mentions
non-violent Americans are put in jail every year
u''"'"u',~ of drugs. I suppose maybe it is very foolish,
does he think that revamping the whole drug
is going to be any cheaper? I don't think so.
and I would be willing tQ bet that many of the
that use hard drugs aren't non-violent. .I
bet they were up to other things besides just
tubes.
he have any idea how long it would take to
.~ 15 ", ..'~ all the illegal drugs in this world? It would
nrr1n"'"'v cost a lot more than putting certain drug
in jail, not to mention a waste of time for
government.
is nothing positive about it. Taxing drug .
Who cares? Everything else is taxed. This is
no111hrrl2 new. Oh, and I hear you saying that by taxdrugs, there would be more money for the use .
""u'""a.uvu. Great plan, Lins. What are people
to say to their kids? "Yes honey, the new comfor your school are from the nice marijuana
from down the street. Oh, and by the way,
crack, too."
attack your next brilliant idea, making mantesting part of high profile jobs is only going
those who don't use drugs, and chances
people in those tY,pes of professions are probnot pot heads to begin-with. I don't know about
but I can't imagine a heart surgeon is going to
his job by dropping acid during some typ'e of
au,.UU111L. Or how about the lawyer that's high
a trial that could send someone to the elecchair? You also talk about coming up with a '
of testing drivers easily. Well, do you have
easy plan in mind there big shot? Doesn't sound
it. Chances are, there aren't any easy ways to
drivers. Cops have enough to do as it is. For
I think drugs can remain illegal.

Pointe s on the go:
JoSh a.Wescott
me too!
llows road to state capitol
By Kari Sulzer
FEATURES REPORTER
Joshua Wescott was at home
studying one night last December when JJJlie Lassa, a recently
elected State Representative from
Stevens Point, called him. She
asked Wescott ifhe was interested
in being her Legislative Aide. He
quickly said he was.
The May 1999 graduate had
helped with Lassa's campaign
before her election, but admitted
he was surprised by the offer. He
mentioned he felt "extremely fortunate" to have been offered'such
a position before graduation.
Even though he majored in
political science, Wescott said he
"would graduate from college and
go straight into TV or radio,"
since he came from a media background. Wescott was General
Manager of Student Television
. (STY) for two years and was
News . Director prior to that.
Wescott truly enjoyed the experience, saying it offered him "so

needed to ultimately respond to
the individual's concems.
"Every single person we hear
from gets a response back,"
Wescott said.
Though the position can be
challenging at times, Wescott
says he feels rewarded by seeing
that people influence the legislature, and appreciates the chance
to be a "willing ear." "I now feel
better about our democracy,"
Wescott saiq.
But working in th~ state capitol is just not enough for Wescott.
"I couldn't divorce myself from
my hobby," he said, referring to ·
his doing news on the weekends
for Madison's WIBA radio station.
In addition to working at
STY, Wescott also had been involved with 90 FM and The
Pointer while at UW-SP.
Wescott advised undergrads to
get involved on campus .
"Everything in life is based on
experiences," Wescott said.
"You'll appear more lucrative to
a prospective employer."

1957 at the Winter Garden
Theater (current home to a
musical about felines) to positive reviews.
In 1961, this musical piece
made a leap from stage to
screen starring Natalie Wood
and Richard Beymer, and supported by Rita Moreno. The
film version of the musical won
four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Supporting
Actress. Memorable hits from
West Side Story includeAmerica, Maria, Tonight and
Somewhere. Overall, this
Sondheim piece is probably his
most energetic work to date.

It's a step in the right direction.
We also need more regulation . .
One argument against regulation
is that prices will increase and
economic growth will slow.
That's fair though-the river was
paying the price for me to have
cheaper paper and cheaper vegetables before; it's okay with me
that we pay the price now. Maybe
companies will begin to lise less
in order to make a profit.
Our natural resources are paying the price for our consuniption
choices. In order to have clean
urban rivers we need to change
our ethics. We can't dump things
into the river and believe they're
"taken away." We can only blame
companies and industry so much.
We also have to look at ourselves.
In the early 1900s, ice companies stopped using ice from the
southern Fox River for refrigerating food, due to pollution. To
improve the quality of our natural resources, we all have to realize the real cost of the resources
we use, and accept cost increases
in order to restore the health of
these ecosystems.

fun," she added.
"It was fun and a good experience, this is the first time I have
helped out, and it was great," said
Marsha Wesle, a resident.
"Most of the participants, especially those who have participated iri previous Haunted Hall

lineup was much better," said
Lieber.
Though the event did not raise
as much money as it did last year,
it did bring in much more in terms
