WSU profs OK 3,000-seat stadium add-onCOMMENT:NEXT STEP
NAME CHANGE
Let's show our gratitude and rename Maxwell Field for our new benefactor. Make it the Winona State University Pepsi Stadium. Really classy. |
| WINONA,Minn., Feb. 24, 2001 -- The Faculty Senate endorsed university President Darrell Krueger's plan to add 3,000 seats on the east side of the Maxwell football field. In asking for support, Krueger said the $214,000 project would be funded with money that Pepsi pays the university for exclusive distribution rights on campus. Because the money is coming from Pepsi, the stadium ugrade will not take away from any academic budget, Krueger told senators. In all, Pepsi is paying $1.4 million over 10 years.Reporter: Meghan RobinsonBackground: Pepsi-sports deal |
WSU readies old boilers for replacementWINONA, Minn., Feb. 24, 2001 -- Crews began removing health-endangering asbestos from the aged and decrepit boilers at Winona State University, the first step in replacing them. Chief Engineer Scott Kluver said the boilers are being boxed off one at a time into a makeshift room so workers can clear away the asbestos. Then each boiler will be removed and a replacement unit installed. Kluver said the target for completing the installation of the first boiler is May 23. All three new boilers should in place by late September, Kluver said. Wapasha Construction has the installation contract.

Dollar woes leave Lourdes Fest with canned musicWINONA, Minn., Feb. 23, 2001 -- For the first time in seven years Winona State University will not feature a band at the annual Lourdes Fest. The cover band Tonic Solfa that played at the spring ritual two years ago offered to play again for $1,000 an hour, but Lourdes dorm President Justin Rzutkiewicz said the budget wouldn't go that far. "We have to drop a lot of things we wanted to do -- like having a band play," Rzutkiewicz said. The budget is $2,500 -- down from $5,000. Why? Rzutkiewicz said the new dorm director "couldn't pull the strings" for supplemental funding. Money from the UPAC student planning committee includes $2,100 for inflatables. There will be chocolate pudding wrestling, a grill out, and a street dance. About music, Rzutkiewicz said: "We will just have a DJ instead of a band for the dance." A DJ hasn't been signed yet. The date: April 25.

Online survey participants approach 2,500WINONA, Minn., Feb. 22, 2001 -- As an online survey on students' assessments of Winona State University was wrapping up, 2,318 students had participated, according to assessment director Susan Hatfield. She was hoping the number would reach 2,500 before she begins analysis. Data will be put to many uses, Hatfield said: "For instance, there was a series of questions that we'll send back over to the summer school office." Hatfield said analysis will include looking for patterns. Any issues that appear to be problematic will be brought to the attention of campus officials who are most able to make changes, she said.Reporter: Matt MichalowskiBackground: Assessment chief seeks more feedback

Grace Place adding bands to May benefit nightWithout fund-raisers and community support, Grace Place would cease to exist, said staff member John Orzechowski. "And where would the girls go then?" |
| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 22, 2001 -- The Grace Place women's shelter for teens and young women has tentative agreements from three performers for a fund-raiser at the Acoustic Cafe on May 5. Staff member John Orzechowski said City Jazz Band, John Kennedy and Friends, and Patti Darbo have volunteered to play free. He's looking for other performers too. The goal: $1,000. "I will sell all 150 tickets to avoid the cost of advertising if I have to," he said. The owners of Acoustic Cafe, Jerry and Lois Heymans, donated the use of the establishment as well as the food. Tickets at $7 will cover one-third of a hoagie, soup and five hours of music. Orzechowski said that the profits will go to Grace Place's operating costs. He noted that heating bills have been running more than $1,000 a month -- a lot for an organization that relies on grants and donations. Reporter: Kelsea Samuelson |
