Author: Footbinding aimed at social upgrading"Just as some women today starve and vomit their way toward the American beauty ideal, Chinese women strived to achieve the miniature feet ideal," said Wong.
|
| WINONA, Minn., Sept. 23, 2001 -- Chinese foot binding was symbolic of female beauty, identification and social status, author Wong Ping told a stadning-room-only Winona State University audience. The ancient Chinese practice created an illusion of smaller, rounder feet, which still is the ideal of beauty, she said. Wong Ping, now a Macalester University prof, spent five years researching footbinding and now has written a book, "Aching For Beauty." Foot binding was a painful, burning process in which arches and the toes were broken, she said. A mother bound her daughter's feet not to be cruel but to ensure her security later in life as a wife.Reporter: Angie Anderson, Agata PolanskaBackground: Awed, she dared not writeBackground: Foot-binding and beauty? |
Awed by poetry, she dared not writeWINONA, Minn., Sept., 23, 2001 -- China-born literateur Wong Ping told a Winona State University audience that she never dared to write poetry in her homeland because she held it in such awe. "Poetry in Chinese culture is so mysterious and so highly regarded, it's almost sacred," she said at a reading pf her works. "I'm sure I wanted to write poetry, but I never dared think of writing it." Nearly 80 people listened as she lyrically recounted her relationships, her arrival and survival in New York from Shanghai, and her experience returning to China after 10 years. She read a new poem, "Everyone is Beautiful," that commemorated the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Wong Ping is the author of a poetry collection, "Of Flesh and Spirit, " and a novel "Foreign Devil." She recently edited the anthology "New Generations: Contemporary Chinese Poets.

Latest data: Football fans pass 10,800 |
| WINONA, Minn., Sept. 23, 2001 -- After a dropoff from 1996, the gate at Winona State University varsity games has been growing. In 1999, the latest year for which data are available, 10,815 people paid their way into football games. It was a strong season for the Warriors, explaining at least in part why the football gate was up 62.3 percent from the year before. A distant 1999 second was women's basketball at 4,086. Women's basketball drew 221 more fans than the men's team, but that may be misleading because the teams play back-to-back and early arrivals for men's games would come into the gym on the women's time. Gymnastics, another women's sport, drew the smallest crowd, 760. Football produced the most revenue, $20,600. The next seven sports earned a meager $19,100 all together. Women's softball brought in the least, $266.Reporter: Kelly Kirby |

WSU nurse: Ashtrays must goWINONA, Minn., Sept. 23, 2001 -- The next step in the Winona State University campaign against smoking is to remove ashtrays from campus doorways, said the chair of the university Wellness Committee. Said Diane Palm, a nurse: "Making it inconvenient for people to smoke hopefully will lead to people quitting." The Palm committee scored a major victory in persuading university President Darrell Krueger to ban smoking within 25 feet of buildings this fall. Forcing smokers to move farther out makes smoking less visible, Palm said. Her reasoning: People are less likely to smoke if smoking is invisible. Palm acknowleged that many campus people remain unaware of the new 25-foot ban. Greater awareness will make nonsmokers more comfortable confronting smokers, she said.Reporter: Peter OlsonBackground: Is Smoking ban toothless? |

WSU coach: Let Michael Jordan come backWINONA, Minn., Sept. 22, 2001 -- Michael Jordan's return to professional basketball is not only good for the sport but also for Jordan personally, said Winona State University assistant basketball coach Tom Brown. "As long as he has the competitive drive there is no reason he should not return," said Brown. He predicted that the younger players will be out to prove they can beat Jordan in the one-on-one matchups that makes the game personal. As long as an athlete is physically able to play, he should, Brown said.Reporter: Tim Davis

But a good time

| WINONA, Minn., Sept. 22, 2001 -- Behind the scenes at the KQAL-sponsored Free Fall concert, coordinator Meg Stevenson had her hands full. First was an electrical outlet problem. The 6,500-watt system of one band required a larger electrical outlet. Stevenson scrambled Joe Reed, student activities director, who summoned electricians. Then the Brokedowns, from Chicago, canceled, forcing a new lineup of bands. Fans arrived late and drenched after a 1-1/2 inch downpour. Despite it all, Stevenson said that the bands performed well.Reporter: Amy VercnockeBackground: KQAL sets band marathon |

Coach: Real values emerge from tragedyWINONA, Minn, Sept. 22, 2001 -- The New York and Pentagon bombings will jar people into fundamental reality checks, said women's golf coach Robert Newberry at Winona State Unversity. "It makes you to realize what is most important to you in life," he said. In an interview, Newberry recalled an easily frustrated player who took everything to heart, even the littlest mistakes. Her golf was slumping. When he learned that she was planning to quit, "I knew I had to calm her down," said Newberry. He took to the foot of Huff Street, where five Saint Mary's University young people had crashed into the river and died. Newberry asked if she knew where the Saint Mary's victims were and she replied that she did. "This spot kind of makes what happens on the golf course seem obsolete, don't you think?" asked Newberry. The young woman hugged Newberry. She then improved at every tournament . On the last putting green of her college career, Newberry said, she made a long put and told him: "It's just a game."Reporter: Jon Susek
