Stevens Point has become the undisputed ·

By Josh Goller

UWSP holds many claims to fame. Our little
campus houses one of the nation's leading natural
resources programs and also toots its own horn for
the three wellness credits it requires. We have alumni hooping it up in the NBA and dropping vicious
hits in the NFL, meanwhile our own women's basketball team recently won the Division III national
championship.
. However, here in Stevens Point there is another notable phenomenon that always makes me know
where I am. In Point, we camp out for just about
anything. In recent years, I've seen an uncan. ny trend sweep across the entire
Stevens Point· community that I can
only describe as "concrete camping."
Everyone's seen or heard of at least one
tent pitched on a sidewalk or in a parking lot in the community and that's
because somebody seems to be doing it
all the time.
As Trivia approached, I heard of
several teams erecting tents outside of the 90FM
station door more than 18 hours before registration
opened Monday afternoon, even though there was
plenty of time to register all week long. This reinforced my growing suspi.cion that Stevens Pointers
absolutely love to sleep outside on cement.
The reasons for roughing it on asphalt range
from good, clean outdoors fun to serious political
activism. Earlier in the year, the Peace Camp held

All work and no piay would make Australia a dull place to be. However, the friendly people at International Programs realize that students want to experience a country in
more places than a classroom. In the past three months, many of our st,udents have had
opportunities to visit numerous locations throughout Australia. Considering that everyone had a long Spring break, Easter break and at least a couple five to six day weekends, students were able to travel to remote destinations and experience many flavors
of Australian culture and landscape. Here is just a taste of what some of us have been
doing while it was snowing in Wisconsin.
Fraser Island has been a very popular destination. It's located just off the central
East Coast of Australia. It's the largest island entirely made of sand in the world. Here
students explored dense rainforests and cruised the beaches in 4x4 vehicles. Dunes rise
ten stories high and the island has about two hundred lakes; some of which are unbelievably clear and surrounded by sandy white beaches. It's like swimming in a pool with
chlorine stinging your eyes. Considering that the ocean is a defmite no go due to the
deadly undertows and abundant sharks, the lakes are the best swimming around. Fraser

Tasmania was another popular island destination. This is the southern most and
only island State. Here students enjoyed backpacking the "Overland Trail," approximately-ninety kilometers. The variety of vegetation is amazing. It includes mixed
forests, rainforests of the valleys and mountain slopes, to open button grass moorlands
and mountain top vegetation. The eucalypt forests found in river valleys often reach
heights of more than fifty meters. The park also provides a variety of wildlife. Although
most mammals are nocturnal, it's not surprising to spot wallaby's, possums or echidnas.

In contrast, arriving in Broken Hill is like stepping into an old western movie. The
landscape spreads open as far as the eye can see with only small brush providing relief
for kangaroos and emus from the beating sun. The earth is the reddest color imaginable. At night you can camp outside with only a sleeping bag and see more stars than you
ever thought could exist. This is where movies like Mad Max were made. ·An unusual
activity our group participated in at Broken Hill included camel riding. Riding a ~amel
is like_riding a drunken horse. It slow~y sways back and forth and lumbers across t}le
sand. Other tourists go there to buy opals. Broken Hill and the surrounding communities are rich with opal mines. The prices there can't be beat.
A few students ventured into the isolated town of Kalumburu, located in the
Kimberley region in Western Australia. They were welcomed into a small community
where they enriched themselves in Aboriginal culture. In Honeymoon Bay, they swam
in_isolated waterholes surrounded by lush vegetation. Local children guided them to
ancient rock art sites. To get to this remote area, the students had to take two commercial flights then a private cliarter flight.
Now that _our time in Australia has come to an end, we are looking forward to our
adventures yet to come. The group will stay together for ten more days in the South
Island of New Zealand before breaking up. After we split, many people are taking the
opportunity to stay in New Zealand or fly out to exotic islands such as Fiji, Tahiti and
Hawaii.

The Sports Guy's Opinion:
Frisbee, what the hell?!
By Dan Mirman
SPORTS EDJTOR
The brief taste of summer we had
last week brought to my attention that no
other campus takes advantage of the
Frisbee the way UWSP does.
It is used for competitive sports in
games such as Ultimate Frisbee, and of
course, disc golf. It
can also be used for~
recreational use by
just tossing it back
and forth, playing 500 or tossing it for
your dog.
It was told to me recently, by an
unnamed source, that people
have been using the "bee" for
drinking games as well. Apparently all
one needs to do is fill the aforementioned
disc up with beer and then pass it around
a circle. The first person who spills any
beer is required to finish off the remaining beer in the bee.
There is also a rumor floating around
(which I was able to neither confirm nor
deny) that the number one ranked disc

Stevens Point. I found this amazing; not

•Van Putten speaks, signs memorandum during visit to Point
Page 12 April25, 2002
By Steve Seamandel
OUTDOORS EDITOR
With the National Wildlife Federation's (NWF) CEO Mark VanPutten visiting Stevens Point this week, the CNR was
poised to have a big week on their hands.
Not only was he delivering a speech entitled, "Scientists as undertake;s: Bringing
knowledge and passion to the cause of
conservatism," but he also signed into

action an agreement called the NWF/CNR
Memorandum of Agreement.
The Memorandum of Agreement
basically states that UWSP and the NWF
will begin collaborating on things in the
future, such as student and staff involvement and possibly internships · and
research opportunities. The ~igning of this
agreement is a huge success story for the
CNR and its students.
Afterwards, Van Putten spoke to faculty and students about the importance of
accuracy in research, facts and scientific
evaluations. He touched a lot on the recent
success story dealing with the Arctic
National Wildlife Bill and how politicians
often had their facts straight regarding
some of the issues, but sometimes the facts
are misleading, not connected to the subject or useless in context.
Van Putten praised Wisconsin and
Stevens Point for having a long tradi~on
of environmental history and touched on a
few state issues as well.
The main message that Van Putten
conveyed to attendees was the usefulness
of knowledge and his guide on what we '
can do to save the planet.
Van Putten emphasized that it's up to
us to save what's left of our natural earth,
but that at times, simply having the knowledge to do so isn't adequate enough. He
continued, "We will determine the fate of

suggestions on how anyone can be a conservationist.

General inland game fishing season opens May 4
Wisconsin's general fishing season
opens May 4 on inland waters across the
state, with state fisheries biologists predicting a good turnout if the weather cooperates.
"We may have more people going out

......
they've got cabin fever," says Mike
Staggs, director of the Department of
Natural Resources Bureau of Fisheries
Management and Habitat Protection. .
"The winter ice fishing season was
shorter than normal because of the warm
winter weather, and then the cold spring
weather discouraged many of early season
trout anglers, so there's probably going to
be a lot of people anxious 'to get out."
About 45 perceift of Wisconsin _residents fish, according to a 1996 U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service National Survey of
Fishing Hunting and Wildlife, which is
well above the national average of 29 percent. During the last license year, the state
sold 1.43 million fishing licenses.
The game fishing season opens on
inland waters for walleye, sauger and

The legend of the N algene
By Steve Seamandel ·
OUTDOORS EDITOR
Nalgene bottles have amused me thoroughly
since I first learned about them. They somehow
force me to ·drink my daily requirement of water, I
can put my neato stickers on them and they never
break. Ever. At least I used to think that.
~ I have tested this theory a few times. I used to
drop my full Nalgene off of my loft while I lived in
the residence halls. The Nalgene didn't break, but it
sure annoyed the people who lived below me.
. One summer, I was discussing the Nalgene's
unbreakable characteristics with a friend who then
dared me_to throw my bottle as high as I could and
let it smash on the concrete. I complied, although
the bottle only suffered a small scratch on the bottom.
I've always believed that there had to be some
physi~s behind the bottle's indestructibility. There
had to be one tiny spot on the bottle that, if hit just
in the right way, would make the bottle shatter into
sand-sized particles.
After my repeated failures, I felt like the squir!el in t~e cartoon who couldn't open the coconut no
matter what he did; stuff it with dynamite, drop it
from a high-rise building or roll it down a few
flights of stairs. Somehow, someway, I had to think
of a way to break a Nalgene.
That idea never came to me. Occasionally, I'll
bang my Nalgene against the sidewalk or throw it
around outside, but I've given up on it for the most
part.
I've heard of other people becoming obsessed
with this as well. It drove some people so crazy that
they fmally gave in and drove ~eir car over their
bottle, of course flattening it. But that's no fair; I
want to see the bottle shatter before my very eyes.
Today, I saw my very first broken Nalgene bottle. Granted, there will always be an asterisk
ste11en Point superB
explaining why it was broken. It wasn't because of
human force; it was science. The owner of the nowbroken Nalgene had filled it too full of water and
frozen it; the expansion of the ice cracked the bottle
right down the center.
I'm still convinced that there is no way for a
human to break a Nalgene without the aid of another tool or machine. If banging a Nalgene against a
sidewalk won't do it, then I'm out of ideas.

My first time turkey hunting; I didn't _know it Wa~ a decoy
By Leigh Ann Ruddy
ASSISTANT OUTDOORS EDITOR
"Gobble ... gobble .. gobble,"
the·Dutch Boy calls out.
"Wait for it ... wait for it," my
dad says.
"Gobble ... gobble ... gobble,"
. a real turkey calls out from
beyond the grove of pines.
I'm lookmg up in the trees
with awe, thinking to myself,
how ca . those fat birds roost way
up in those trees?
· ''T.b.L is called "shockmg the
tom'," my Dad says. We went out
the night before just after dusk to
see if we could hear some active
turkeys. We did. We heard a lot of
them, so we ·decided that place
was perfect for the hunt in the
morning .
At 5:00a.m., I woke up for
the first time in my life before
sunrise. Oh, sure I've been awake
for sunrises when I've been
aw~ke all night, but never have I
woken up before the sunrise. My
dad and I took off for the pines
where we heard the toms talking
in the previous night. I grab the
"hot" hen decoy and the Dutch
Boy turkey call as my weapons
and tote the new shotgun (with
fiber optic sight) that my dad just
bought.
We set up our decoy hen a
few feet away from where we sit
under the tall pines and start calling the birds, hoping that a tom
will meander over where we sit
before he gets to a hen.
We spent rp.ost of the time
talking back and forth with the
tom. We got a few responses
from the dominant hen he seems
to be accompanying, but there's
no sight of any bird.
"Chirp ... chirr... chirp," I try
my best impression of a hen, but
it doesn't seem to cut it for the
male. We managed to sit out
there for an hour or so, but decided that we were no match for the
real course of nature.
Although I never saw a wild
turkey on my first ever turkey
hunt, I appreciated the experience
of being able to hear the birds in
the wild. Their reactions to the
calls were fun in and of itself.
I'll be candid; I'm not much
of a hunter. I give all those
patient people I 00% of my
respect after sitting out there
waiting for that turkey, getting
frustrated and cold.
Sure, it would have been
nice just to see a part of wildlife
while dressed in camouflage, but
the beauty of being able to blend
in with nature was much more
exciting than the hunt.

Embolization (UF£) is giving
women an import?nt, minimatly

hysterectomy and other invasive

doctors who specialize in
targeted, image-guided
treatments. By blocking the blooo

them to shrink, the procedure
is approximately 90% successful
at alleviating the heavy bleeding

Letters From the Edge of the World
How to deal with the unbearable shittyness of your life.
J
By- Or. Pat Rothfuss
DocTOR oF Love.
Let me paint you a picture. You're in· college, and
somehow amidst all the studying, floor meetings and
binge drinking, you managed to find time to fall in love.
Maybe it was first love. Maybe you found your soulmate.
Maybe you even did "it."
Over winter break, you were completely blissed out.
You told all your friends about your new love. You spent
long hours on the phone, talking about how much you
missed each othe1 and couldn't wait to get back to school
so that you could get together and be cuddly little snugglebunnies.
Your life is perfect. You feel like you're walking
through a cloud of white light. You smile at songs you
hear on the radio.
Then-they leave you for some dancer-actor-gymnastmusician-tantric-sex-artist.
Sound familiar? Well, if it doesn't yet, it will soon.
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. You may laugh
at this column now, but all too soon you could find yourself weeping silently in a comer, clutching a handful of
old letters signed "love forever" and wishing you'd paid
better attention to what I'm going to tell you.
As a matter of fact, scientific studies have shown that
you'll spend more time in your life trying getting over
being dumped than you'll spend actually going out with
people.
So, what can you do to deal with the unbearable shit. tyness of your life now that you've been abandoned by
your one-and-only-forever~truest love? How can you possibly go on living? '
..
Well, while I generally pride myself on the unisex
nature of most of the advice I give in this column, this is
one of the instances where the two sexes are definitely not
the same. Let's deal with the ladies first.
HOW TO GET OVER HIM
Believe it or not, it is easier for women to get over a
breakup. I'm not saying this because I'm a man. I'm saying this because it's a scientifically proven fact that any
girl can get "extracurricular love," whenever she wants it.
Usually this can be accomplished simply by raising your
hand in any crowded room, or, in extreme situations, by
making eye contact and asking nicely.
Sex is, of course, the tried and true post-breakup
recovery strategy. Not the best strategy, perhaps, but def
initely the simplest. However, the right extracurricular
partner is essential. Make sure to find someone sensitive
to your needs. Someone with a good sense of humor.
Someone who writes a column for The Pointer.
But seriously, here's a step-by-step course for getting
over the guy that dumped you.
1) Talk about it with your vast network of female
acquaintances.
2) With their help, enter into an extensive analysis of
every action and conversation you had throughout the
relationship.
3) Conclude that it was his fault.
4) Press all your resentment and bitter rage deep down
inside. (This may take a couple of hours).
5) Get on with your life, put on a brave face to the
world.
6) Find a new guy. A nice guy.
7) Make his life a living hell. ·
Yup, it's as easy as that. Go through these steps a couple of times and ·you're sure to start feeling better about
yourself.
HOW TO GET OVER HER
Well guys, we've got two basic coping strategies:
"Get drunk and hit som~thing," and "Cry and talk about
your feelings." Let's take them one at a time.
GET DRUNK. AND HIT SOMETHING.
You: [crying]
[Enter Girl]
Girl: You must have loved her a lot.
You: [nods while crying] I never really told her, and
now it's t-oo late.
·
Girl: [gently] I'm sure she knew.
You: I don't know what I'm going to do without her
[more crying.]
Girl: [giving you a hug] It'll be okay.
You: Really?
Girl: [reassuring] Of course, it just takes time.
You: It doesn't feel like anything will ever be okay in
my life after this.
Girl: Trust me. You just need to get your mind off it.
Let's go have coffee.
You: Okay.
Girl: How did you hurt your hand?
[Exeunt Omens]
This is the tried and true guy's way of getting over
being dumped. Go out. Get drunk. Fight.
Ideally, this fight should be with your ex-girlfriend's
new boyfriend, but you probably won't be able to fmd
him. He isn't out at the bars. He's out with her, probably See? Instead of being seen as a great blubbering nancyhaving sex. Lots and lots of sex.

So let's move on to the next option. ..
CRY LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.

The secret is to fmd a place where it's acceptable for
you to cry. There aren't many of them. In fact, I only know
of one.
I'm running low on space here, so I'll be blunt. You

should crash a funeral. Funerals are the one place in the
world where a guy won't be looked down on for crying his
eyes out. Best of all, if you pick the right sort of funeral,
you can talk about your feelings too.
.
So pick a big funeral, where everyone will assume
that you're someone else's friend. You also want to make
sure that the deceased is female, and that she's roughly the
same age as your ex.
