Holstad: WSU happy in Northern Sun leagueWINONA, Minn., Oct. 29, 2001 -- The athletic director at Winona State University, Larry Holstad, acknowledged talk about switching leagues, but he doesn't see it happening. The rumormill started with some teams in the North Central NCAA Division II conference talking about switching to NCAA Division I , Holstad said: "It has only been looked into, but with no seriousness." If a North Central school, perhaps North Dakota or Northern Colorado, were to move up into Division I competition, there would be room for a Northern Sun team like Winona State to move into the higher-caliber North Central Conference, said Holstad. He said he had received a call from North Central and answered definitely no. By some standards, he said, Winona State has a hard time keeping up with other Northern Sun schools. The university's scholarship budget, at $184,600, ranks seventh among Northern Sun schools. The Warriors have only nine full football scholarships -- fewer than half what North Dakota of the North Central league offers. Asked if Winona State athletics has outgrown the Northern Sun, Holstad said no. Even Winona State's student base, at 7,000, isn't sufficient to compete in North Central, Holstad said. Even so, he noted, the Warriors play a lot of North Central schools in non-conference games.Reporter: Nicole MossingBackground: Should WSU join tougher league?Comment: Let's bid Northern Sun bye |

COMMENT: RUINOUS MINDSET
WSU'S BOOZE CULTURE
Darrell Krueger faces a long road to eradicate the alcohol culture that's grown on campus during his years as president. In a recent contest to come up with a motto for the Winonan student newspaper, the most clever entry, sad to say, was:
A Newspaper of Thinkers
for a Community Drinkers
Yes, it was scoffing at Krueger's overplayed extract from the university mission statement. But it also was symptomatic of a ruinous student mindset.

WSU prez: School referendum needs supportWINONA, Minn., Oct. 28, 2001 -- Voters must approve a proposed tax increase "to help our school district maintain quality," said Darrell Krueger, president of Winona State University. Krueger said the School Board and administrators have been "good stewards" of the resources available to them. The problem, he said, is lagging state support:"Unfortunately, over the past decade, our state and its leaders have allowed education to slip in importance. That, I believe, is shortsighted and may have long-term effects on our state's economy and its ability to education students to the level necessary to be successful."
