Chuckers tries
multiple tactics in fake ID
war
| WINONA, Minn., March
28, 3001 -- A month after Chuckers reopened
following a two-month license suspension, owner
Steve Speer said nobody can doubt his
seriousness about keeping underage drinkers out.
Employees went through a four-hour training
seminar about how to deal with customer
conflicts and checking proof of age, Speer said.
Loss Control Services Inc., the Twin Cities
company that put on the seminar, had samples of
fake IDs and explained what the door people
need to be looking for. Bartender Annie Pillar, a
senior at Winona State, pointed to a black light
mounted above the entrance, to detect the
holograms on legitimate IDs. Too, IDs are run
through a scanner to check for authenticity. A
cameras monitors door people to be sure they're
checking IDs. John Kabat, a bouncer said:
"Everyone has been carding hard. If someone
doesn't look 21, bartenders will make sure and
card them again." Reporter: Julie

WSU students choose
floppies over CD
burnersWINONA,Minn., March
28, 2001 -- The next generation of laptops for
Winona State University students will be
equipped with 3.5-inch floppy drives, said Casey
Clay, chair of the student Technology
Committee. Clay said a survey found students
prefer a floppy drive to a CD burner. "Though
some kids were hoping for both, almost 80
percent of the students said that they would
prefer a floppy," he said. Still undecided is what
brands will be issued in the fall. "We know for
certain that whatever model is chosen it will
contain a floppy drive, and right now the IBMs
aren't offering that," Clay said.

WSU Senate divided on
club travel fundsWINONA,
Minn., March 28, 2001 -- After a short debate
Winona State University student senators voted
16-10 to put off a decision on giving clubs extra
money for travel. The issue will come up again
next week. Sen. Nicoule Klute said some clubs
are running short of funds for trips that are
mandatory to stay affiliated with national
organizations. Ben Weaver, the senate treasurer,
worried that late-in-the-year appropriations
could open a floodgate of club requests with
results that "could be disastrous." The activity
fund committee earlier rejected Klute's proposal.

KWNO revision: WSU
sells game ads WINONA, Minn.,
March 28, 2001 -- Eager to carry Winona State
sports live, radio station KWNO has redrafted its
proposed contract to the university. The latest
draft asks for $5,000 from Winona State, not the
original $7,500, for exclusive play-by-play rights.
In an unusual twist, the charge would be waived
if the university lines up $5,000 worth of
advertising. The broadcast industry practice is for
broadcasters to sell time to advertisers, but the
KWNO proposal would instead make Steve
Speer, the university's sports marketing director,
responsible for drumming up KWNO ad revenue.

WSU shy one
required delegate for state
confabWINONA, Minn., March
28, 2001 -- The Winona State University Student
Senate was looking for one more delegate to
attend a state student conference -- or risk losing
funding from the Minnesota State University
Student Association. Nine senators are needed to
attend the Bloomington conference, said Lindy
Bollig, the association's liaison to Winona State.
So far eight senators have signed up. If only eight
senators attend, Winona State is "out of money"
and "out of their input," said Bollig. At the
MSUSA conference, state officers will be elected
for next year, said Bollig. The conference is "our
future," said Bollig. Reporter: Jennifer

WSU remains officially
mum
on library dean
dismissalWINONA, Minn.,
March 27, 2001 -- After ignoring repeated
reporter questions for a statement on Winona
State's dismissal of the library dean, the
university's public relations chief, Vice President
Jim Schmidt, said he was not permitted to
comment. There will be no official statement,
Schmidt said. Other executives close to
university President Darrell Krueger, who signed
the nonrenewal letter, also declined comment,
including personnel officer Tess Kruger. The
library dean, Dick Bazillion, said he has no idea
what prompted the decision. Joe O'Keefe,
assistant chief of media affairs, said, "This is a
private issue. I can't comment on it. Winona
State has a policy saying that the staff isn't
allowed to comment on private issues." At the
library, senior faculty Vernon Leighton and Russ
Dennison said they are in the dark. "No one has
came forward with an explanation," said
Dennison. They confirmed there was no palace
revolt. Other sources linked Bazillion's dismissal
with resources or services being swapped
between the library and Southeast Tech, where
former Winona State librarian Connie Braun
recently lost her job as librarian. With Bazillion,
Braun was a key player in designing the new
Winona State library. They have been long-time
collaborators on electronic libraries, and have
co-authored a book on the subject.

KWNO deal facing
multiple hurdles WINONA,
Minn., March 27, 2001 -- The athletic director at
Winona State University, Larry Holstad, said his
budget could never afford the $7,500 that
commercial station KWNO wants to cover men's
football and basketball games live. Holstad noted
that budgets are tight at Winona State and
probably will get more so. When Holstad aide
Steve Speer approached KWNO about doing
games, it was assumed there would be no cost to
the university. When word leaked about a
possible deal, opposition erupted at
student-operated campus station KQAL, which
historically carried the games. Now, to go with
KWNO, Holstad would need to both neuter
opposition from KQ students and alumni and to
find the money. "How can I sell something if I
have to pay for it," Holstad told the Winona Post.
