Krueger: Picket lines may back up trafficWINONA, Minn., Sept. 29, 2001 -- Classes will continue at Winona State University even if AFSCME and MAPE employees are on strike. "The strike does not include faculty," said President Darrell Krueger. In a spam message to all students, Krueger said that students may encounter picket lines at campus portals. Because of possible traffic backups, Krueger encouraged students to leave early for classes. He acknowledged that problems may occur: "Some services may be reduced or delayed as a result of reduced staff levels." AFSCME and MAPE represent about 230 Winona State employees.Background: Worried senior tacked up postersBackground: Strike sorecard

COMMENT: DORM LIFE
DISENROLL THE DRUNKS
Instead of decisive initiatives, Winona State executives are wringing their hands pathetically at epidemic drunken excesses that are undermining the academic mission of the university. President Darrell Krueger is paying mere lip service to the problem. Student activitivies coordinator Joe Reed shrugs helplessly: "We can't babysit them all."Granted, the university has limited options beyond the campus. But Krueger can get tough in the dorms, which house 1,500 students. And he must. The drunken frosh who roam the neighborhood are almost all from the dorms. It's to the dorms they stagger and drag each other back. Once back in the dorms they continue their disruptive behavior. How tough should Krueger get? He must expel, yes, expel, students at their first booze-related offense in the dorms. No more hand-wringing. No more coddling. |

WSU upgrading virus softwareWINONA, Minn., Sept. 29, 2001 -- Computer viruses are affecting the workload at Winona State University's Technical Support Center, first Sircam in July and now Nimda. Tech specialist Al Foegen said fix-it traffic has increased: "It isn't overwhelming but more than ever before." Foegen and other techs are installing Norton Anti-Virus Corporate Edition 7.5, which automatically updates virus recognitions and definitions. The outdated 5.0 version required manual updating. Desktop and IBM laptop users who do not currently have the Corporate Edition installed will be contacted soon about how to upgrade, Foegen said. Macintosh computers are immune to Nimda but can pass it through email to Windows computers, he said.Reporter: Tami Adams
Political expert: Bank freezes "somewhat effective"WINONA, Minn., Sept. 29, 2001 -- A Winona State University political scientist described the President's executive order to freeze the financial assets of 27 terrorist-linked entities as "somewhat effective." Said Yogesh Grover: "We are dealing with very smart people. They can easily find other sources of money." Freezing the accounts is "necessary but not sufficient" to stop terrorism, Grover said. Money does not have to go through a bank to get to someone, he said, noting that money can be easily passed from hand to hand. A complication is that some banks, as in the Caymans, guarantee complete confidentiality to customers, he said. Bush has asked these banks to support his order, but, Grover said, "it's all a question of international cooperation." Even so, Grover prefers the President's financial initiatives to "going out and killing people." Reporter: Erin Dougherty

As volleyball coach, she led the team to four conference championships and regional runner-up in 1981. After a posting a 74-20 volleyball record at St. Francis, Frame took six years off from coaching to rear her family.
