WSU seeking up-and-coming Canadian bandWHO IS NICKEL- BACK?Formed in 1996 in Vancouver, B.C., Nickeback is on a U.S. tour promoting its fourth album, "Silver Side Up." For the last 18 weeks Nickelback's single "This Is How You Remind Me" has climbed a Billboard chart, reaching No. 5 this week. |

| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- The rock band Nickelback is being pursued for the Winona State University spring concert, said student activities director Joe Reed. Nickelback would require $40,000, which includes set-up, teardown and an opening act, Reed said. "Price is very important when booking a band," he said, noting that last year's concert by the rapper Nelly took four separate bids. According to Reed, he is "wheeling and dealing" constantly to find a group and get the best deal. Agents are involved heavily in the decision process and the bands themselves make few decisions about where they will perform. Already, queries have been turned back by four groups: Counting Crows, Weezer, Everclear, and Bush. With the "wheels already in motion," according to Reed, he expects to book a group by the end of December. Three dates have been blocked at McCown Gym -- April 13, 20 and 27.

Grob vacancy weighs on athletics chief
|
| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 --Winona State University's veteran baseball coach, Gary Grob, will retire after this season, leaving a difficult task for Athletic Director Larry Holstad. "What must be done first is, we must determine what the position will entail," said Holstad. Because Grob gave up teaching a couple years ago and continued only part-time as coach, Holstad must figure out whether the new coach will be a part-time or full-time prof. Funding is a factor, he said. Once Holstad has defined the position, a search committee will be chosen. Some profs are expected to decline being on the search committee if a colleague, assistant baseball coach Kyle Poock, is interested in the head coaching job. "One teacher already told me that they would not be on the committee if asked, because his vote would be biased," said Holstad. "We must be fair when hiring a new coach." Procedures in a national search require an advertisement and a 45-day application period. Once applications are in, the committee will narrow the field and make a recommendation to university President Darrell Krueger. Holstad hopes for a decision by early March.

Booze theme pared from next WSU paradeWINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- The downtown bar Betty Jo Byoloski has been banned permanently from Winona State homecoming parades, said Joe Reed, the university's parade coordinator. Reed said he had warned Betty Jo last year to remove alcoholic logos from its float but that it wasn't done. Never again, said Reed. He confirmed he also has banned Schott Distributing Co. next year. Schott services Winona liquor stores and bars. Earlier Reed barred the university rugby team from next year's parade due to alcohol consumption, There is no place for alcohol in the parade, he said. Reed said he might be revamping the entry form to participate in the homecoming parade to specify the fact the alcohol of any sort will not be permitted.

Kierlin positive about WSU science plansWINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- Funding for a new science building at Winona State University from the 2002 Legislature is likely, said State Sen. Bob Kierlin, R-Winona. In a report to the County Board, Kierlin said $100 million is slated for science projects statewide. The Winona State project, designed at $40 million, carries a high priority in the bonding authorization bill that permits the state to borrow funds for construction porjects, he said.
No collegians in fatal house fireWINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 --No college students lived in the house where a fire killed one of the tenants on Nov. 11, according to the landlord Wayne Krage. "They were all single working adults," Krage said. The house, at Sanborn and Franklin streets, six blocks from Winona State University, contains eight apartments. The tenants were evacuated after the fire started in Apartment 6 from a burning cigarette. Forty-year-old Justin Gerald Walsh died in the fire. No other apartments were damaged, and the tenants were allowed to return later that night.

Taping off smoke-free zonesWINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- A campus-wide e-mail message on the new Winona State smoking policy was the first step in a new Kick Butts campaign, said Deb Block of the university Wellness Committee. The policy, Block said, will be enforced despite a wobbly start this fall. "Nothing is concrete right now, but we have many ideas," said Block. Ideas include actually taping off the 25-foot no-smoking zones around buildings. "It's going to be a long road, and we'll meet with a lot of resistance," Block said.

Fired bartender vows never to serve minors again |
| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- A bartender fired from Brothers last month, Pam Hammill, 21, said she would like to work in a bar setting in the future, and will be more careful about checking IDs. Hammill was fired after serving minors in a non-peak period when no bouncer was on duty. "It's something that is not worth losing a job over," Hammill said. "I'll never make that mistake again."

Warning: Backpack could ruin your backWINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- Students were warned that carrying a backpack can ruin their backs. Speaking at Winona State Universty, chiropractor Scott Meisel offered these tips:
> Center the weight of a backpack on the body.
> Don't carry a backpack on one arm. Put both arms in the straps.
> Only fill a backpack with the items needed on a particular trip. |
Meisel also advised against face-down sleeping. Stomach-sleepers are much more prone to problems because they are forced to turn their head and neck to breathe, he said. Turning the skull on a plastic model to one side, Meisel said, "People sleep in this position all night, and then they wonder why they wake up with a stiff neck."

Sign of the season: Plows on WSU trucksWINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- Crews at Winona State University are mounting plows on trucks and equipping Bobcats with brushes, all in prepartion for the first winter storm. The prepartaion includes winter windshield wipers, said maintenance worker Leon Bowman. More is needed, though, he said. Bowman would like more student helpers. "Each vehicle should be waxed so when the snow falls on them it is easier to wipe off," he said. "Then you don't have it blowing all over when you are trying to plow." Supervisors are working up a schedule to determine which workers will be coming in at 4 a.m. to plow and clean sidewalks.

WSU student pilots recovering lost hoursWINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- Some Winona State University aviation students lost flight time during the post-Sept. 11 U.S. aviation shutdown, but they're catching up now. "It is not a big deal," said Adam Kuehnel, a flight instructor. Students are required to have 60 to 70 flight hours for their private pilot certificate. Student Greg Filkins said he fell 10 to 15 hours behind during the three-week shutdown. "It isn't enough to affect graduation or anything," said Filkins. "It will just take longer to get my certificate." Other post-Sept. 11 effects have been minimal, Kuehnel said. Deputies are patrolling the area around the airport more frequently, he said. Also, some areas are off limits. "We can't fly over any power plants or populated areas like football stadiums," said Kuehnel. The nuclear power plant area upriver from Red Wing, Minn., is off limits. For a while so was the retired Dairyland nuclear plant downriver from La Crosse, Wis.

Breathing better? Could this be Minne? |
| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 27, 2001 -- The remodeling of the Minne classroom building at Winona State is expected to have all three phases done by Fall 2003, the university's physical plant manager, Dick Lande, confirmed. The $2 million project is on schedule, Lande said. Phase 1, a $600,000 ventilation system replacement, was completed before fall classes began, he said. Ventilation fans were replaced to eliminate future fungus buildups in the ducts. The old cooling equipment that ran through the outer walls has been replaced with a chilled water ventilation system hooked into to the main heating plant, he said. Minne, a 56,000-square foot building, has not made major renovations since it was built in 1973. Minne has had a reputation as a "sick building" because so many occupants came down with respiratory ailments. There will no longer be the chance of contamination in the air, said Lande.
