Bartender out of job for serving minors
CONSEQUENCES
Lesson: Check IDs |
|
| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 2, 2001 -- A bartender at Brothers was fired for serving alcohol to minors Oct. 20, manager Ryan Schinke confirmed. "Serving minors will not be tolerated," Schinke said. He acknowledged that the bartender was under extra pressure because bouncers hadn't shown up for work yet at 8 p.m., when police sent in four minors. There are no bouncers on duty before 9. "Usually our bartenders do check everyone's ID's, but that night the bartender thought that the people that came in all looked old enough and just assumed they were 21, and unfortunately she did serve all of the minors," Schinke said. Police ticketed the bartender. At a followup staff meeting, Schinke emphasized that minors not only put themselves at risk when entering bars but also the bar's employees. Meanwhile, at Chuckers, a bartender ticketed for serving minors the same night resigned shortly afterward. Chuckers owner Steve Speer has since assigned a bouncer to stand at the door from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays.Reporter: Whitney Wolfe |

J-student: Not all college students suck sudsWINONA, Minn., Nov. 2, 2001 -- A journalism student at Winona State University, Bill Radde, faulted Winona Daily News columnist Jerome Christenson for "stereotyping" college students as beer-swigging louts. "I am appalled at the unfair stereotype of Winona State students portrayed in the article," said Radde. He focused on Christenson's opening lines: "Love and marriage. Abbott and Costello. Students and beer. Some things just go together." In a letter to the editor, Radde said Christenson built a false characterization around "the actions of a small minority." Radde is news director at campus radio station KQAl and former news editor of the Winona student newspaper. |

Plans laid out for Kryzsko redoWINONA, Minn., Nov. 1, 2001 -- The director of student activities at Winona State University, Joe Reed, laid out blueprints for remodeling the Kryzsko student activities building. To student senators, Reed said: "If you agree with the ideas, I'll call the architect tomorrow" His ideas start with a clean slate -- no walls, just an open space. The television lounge, bowling alley, pool hall and arcade would all be out. In their lieu would be a juice-coffee bar, cyber tables for checking emails, and new pool tables. Other ideas include a stage for guest artists and debates. Senate, security and club offices would be moved. "If you build it, they will come," said Reed. Senators promised to review the blueprints.

Thursday House claims key to cop-proof partyingWINONA, Minn., Nov. 1, 2001 -- The people who run the Thursday House, as its known to Winona State University party-goers, take care not to disturb the neighbors, said tenant Pat Gieser. "We are very responsible," Gieser said. "We constantly have one person outside to make sure that it's not too noisy." Students are kept inside until they leave the party, he said. Tenant Steve Hammersten said another roommate is always outside to make sure that no groups of students are gathering and making noise. "It seems to work. So far the Thursday House has escaped being busted in the police crackdown on campus neighborhood partying. Down the street at 824 W. King St., tenant Melissa Thompson is sympathetic: "It's a shame about the cops cracking down because, like it or not, house parties are a part of college and play a major role for students to meet other students." Thompson said that shutting down house parties would force students to take advantage of other outlets to consume alcohol, such as dorm rooms.Reporter: Justin Hargraves Special report: Cops & Kegs: College kids in trouble
Prof: On nice days students learn better outsideWINONA, Minn., Nov. 1, 2001 -- With temperatures reaching 70, Thursday was a great day to hold classes outside, according to English prof Chris Buttram at Winona State University. If class size and other factors permit, Buttram loves sitting with students on the turf. It doesn't work for her frosh courses because they're too large and she needs a blackboard. But Thursday she took upper-level students outside, where, she says, the learning environment is better. In a sense, she said, profs are on the students' turf outside, which is stimulating simply because it's different. Student comfort level is better on the grass than in a straight-back chair, she said. Buttram finds that students are more comfortable contributing to discussions outside. On Thursday, she said, one student spoke up for the first time all semester. Why don't all profs teach outside? Different teaching styles, she says. Some professors aren't comfortable with the different dynamic and the slightly raised level of chaos, she said. Reporter: Annie Rohweder

Grob sure to exit coaching at 1,000-plusWINONA, Minn., Nov. 1, 2001 -- Winona State University baseball coach Gary Grob will be seeking his 1,000th career victory, more if things go well, in this the last season before he retires. Grob, head coach at Winona State for 34 years, needs 14 victories to reach 1,000 for his career. No Minnesota college coach has more. His career winning percentage is .663. Among Grob's achievements:
Three times NAIA Midwest Coach of the Year
Three seasons with 40-plus victories
15 Northern Sun championships
Grob's most memorable moment? In the 1992 College World Series, he said. It wasn't until the tournament that the Warriors hit over 500, and in the 12 games played, the team made only three errors. "It was really exciting to see the team come together like they did," said Grob. Through it all his wife and children kept him "straight," said Grob. All four of his daughters were batgirls.
