| WINONA, Minn. July, 15, 2001 -- The hunt for entertainment for fall at Winona State University is under way with a bid for the rock band Tonic. Joe Reed, student activities director, said a bid near $8,000 was made for a performance probably in a Sept. 8 to Sept. 22 timeframe in Somsen Auditorium. Reed gave Tonic two weeks to respond. Tickets likely will be $5 with any shortfall coming from the student activity fund, Reed said. He already has secured the Johnny Holm band and hypnotist Jim Wand for orientation week. The Second City comedy troupe is scheduled for homecoming.Reporter: Andy WeldonBackground: Johnny Holm returning |

Students testify against tuition proposalBLOOMINGTON, Minn., July 13, 2001 -- Student after student told state college trustees that proposed tuition increases are more than students should bear. Jeremy Nelson noted that the 7 percent hike proposed for his Minnesota State-Moorhead campus far outpaces inflation. "That's like another month of work," he said. Students were organized against the increases, which, if approved by trustees next week, would average 10.5 percent -- the largest in six years. At Winona State it would be 9.1 percent.

Ventura snipes at UM prez: Not my faultWINNEPEG, Manitoba, July 13, 2001 -- Gov. Jesse Ventura blamed steep tuition increases at the University of Minnesota on the university. "This tuition hike, as much as they want to push it off on the Legislature and the governor, would have happened anyway," Ventura said during a trade mission to Canada. He singled out university President Mark Yudof for "griping." Said Ventura: "They take shots at me. I return the fight." Yudof has said that if the university had received its full budget request, tuition would have gone up 3 percent this year. Instead trustees have now approved 13.3 percent.

Carpenter OK for WSU grid drillsWINONA, Minn., July 13, 2001 -- Winona State University football team captain Bruce Carpenter was cleared to begin regular practice. Strength coach Jeff Reinardy said Carpenter has focused so much on his right leg, which he broke in the spring, that it's stronger than his left leg. "I have been doing 30 yard sprints to simulate plays," Carpenter said. "I can do pretty much anything, but my leg is easily fatigued," said Carpenter. Will he be ready to start at quarterback? "I feel confident." After the season, Carpenter will have plates and screws removed from his legs.

Star Trib planning campus laptop storyWINONA, Minn., July 12, 2001 -- A reporter from the Minneapolis Star Trib, Andris Straumanis, was at Winona State University working up a piece on laptop computers in higher-ed. Straumanis talked with chem prof Jamie Schnieder about how she uses laptops in her courses. Staumanis also interviewed technology Vice President Joe Whetstone and computer support Manager Dean Feller about how the laptop computer program started, how it's going, and where it's going. The story, planned for the July 15 Sunday edition, deals with technology at numerous colleges.
Vaccess back for WSU shotsWINONA July 12, 2001 -- Winona State Universty has a contract again this year with Pennsylvania-based VaccessHealth to run a meningitis inoculation program, campus health director Diane Palm said. Palm said she hoped that Vaccess will update its pamphlet prompting the $85 shots. Last year the pamphlet had old data, some dating back 10 years, that overstated the risk of meningitis for college students. "The problem with statistical data is that it is always at least four to five years old," Palm said. The Vaccess pamphlets will be mailed within the month, she said.

Saint Mary's eyeing wireless futureWINONA, Minn., July 12, 2001 -- Saint Mary's University may leapfrog into wireless laptop technology, skipping the wired laptop phase that many other colleges are going through, said Jeff Wieczorek, campus academic computing manager. Within three years, Wieczorek thinks Saint Mary's will be set up for wireless connections with the rest of the world. He estimates that a wireless system will take $250,000 to $500,000. Among problems is Saint Mary's proximity to residential neighborhoods. Unless wireless signals can be blocked, anybody near campus could connect to the web at Saint Mary's and squeeze the capacity available for campuse users, Wieczorek said. Reporter: Marge Dwyer

Counselor: Frosh boozing answers elusiveWINONA, Minn., July 11, 2001 -- College frosh need more preparation for dealing with alcohol-related hazards, but many don't heed the warnings they already get, said the head of the Winona State University counseling center. Elizabeth Burke, who's been at Winona State 11 years, said that alcohol-awareness talks at frosh orientation and throughout the school year do not seem to make a significant difference. "Any step in the right direction is great, but I don't know what true solution can be provided," Burke said. Many students learn the hard way, she said: "It's hard for anyone to successfully handle school, homework, going out, and a hangover regularly." Reporter: Sanjeev Misra

WSU students to vote again on treasurerWINONA, Minn., July 11, 2001 -- The two ballot candidates for Student Senate treasurer at Winona State University, Travis Woodyard and Reed Kannas, will be allowed to run again for the office to settle the messed-up April election, the campus Judicial Board ruled. Write-ins can run again too. After the election Woodyard and Kannas, the top two candidates, were disqualified because their campaign signs were still up after an 11 o'clock deadline to take them down the night before the election. Woodyard and Kannas challenged the Election Committee decision to disqualify them and to let write-in Douglas Stokes have the job, and then the J-Board decided to nullify the whole election. According to Senate President Jason Fossum, the new election will be about the third week in the fall -- at the same time as the frosh Senate election. The treasurer job pays $2,400.

Summer too short; WSU remodeling delayedWINONA, Minn., July 11, 2001 -- Remodeling of the Media Services Center at Winona State University has been pushed back until next year. Judy Routhe, director, said that asbestos removal will take more time than the summer break allows. The facility, in Howell Hall, has problems with dust and dirt falling from ceiling fixtures into the video players and editing equipment that students use. The remodeling plan is to remove asbestos, replace fixtures and expand into an adjacent room.Reporter: Colleen Becker
COMMENT: THE PORN WARS
GIVE IT UP, FOLKS
The zealots who waged war against Winona's lone porn shop argued that the First Amendment guarantee of free expression wasn't the issue. Now a federal judge has said otherwise.The moralists had tried to manipulate zoning regulations to shut down the shop, pointing to studies that purported that smut shops hurt property values and have other negatories. Now researchers have found gaping flaws in those old studies. The moralists have lied about Downtown Books & Video as a filthy pit. Fact: No other merchant exceeds the shop for neatness, cleanliness and orderliness. The moralists called the place a breeding place for crime. Fact: In the 21 months that the shop has been in business, police have linked no crimes to the shop. To leaders of STOP anti-porn group, we say: Disband. To STOP members: Shop for your books and videos elsewhere. To the City Council: Don't let STOP people bully you into spending any more tax dollars in pursuit of their misguided prudery. |

Quarterback hopeful about pending leg testWINONA, Minn., July 11, 2001 -- First-string Winona State University quarterback Bruce Carpenter will find out soon if his right leg is strong enough for him to begin regular practice Aug. 8, when pre-season camp opens. A strength test has been scheduled. Carpenter, who broke the leg last spring, has been in physical therapy. He's been running and working out. "My leg feels pretty good, and I am ready to get out on the field," said Carpenter. Coach Tom Sawyer is hopeful: "I think that he will do really well." Last year was jinxed for Carpenter. He broke one leg early in the season and was still out of commission for the Mineral Bowl. Then he broke the other leg in the spring.
