| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 30, 2001 -- The student president at Winona State University, Jason Fossum, proposed a student task force to study the issues underlying tuition increases. "My vision is to put together student senators and some general student representatives and get them to see how tuition works," said Fossum. Over the years, critics have accused the Student Senate of being easily manipulated into supporting university President Darrell Krueger's repeated proposals for more tuition. For next fall Krueger has said he may seek a 14 percent hike. Fossum said he's taken some heat himself: "Some senators in the residence halls have told me that some of their fellow floor members thought that I controlled tuition." Fossum said. He conceded, though, that the Senate shouldn't be rubberstamping Krueger's proposals. "Every year President Krueger and his team walks in with all their information, and it just seems to go without saying that we will accept it," Fossum said. "We sometimes get criticized for not doing our homework."

Student Senate OKs WSU student union fee hikeWINONA, Minn., Nov. 30, 2001 -- Winona State University student senators endorsed an 8.47 percent increase in student union fees next year. Now $5.90, fees would go to $6.40. The endorsement came after John Ferden, the university's director of auxiliary services, told senators that more funds,were needed for maintenance, including energy-saving windows for Kryzsko Commons, which houses Senate offices. He noted that fees have not been increased in five years. Ferden said he plans to seek annual but smaller increases in the future, probably 1.5 percent a year.

It's almost as if Tony Bronk wants snowWINONA, Minn., Nov 30, 2001 -- Could this be the winter that never comes? Since June, Tony Bronk and his grounds crew at Winona State University have been preparing for snow. Bronk said he ordered salt and sand for sidewalks early so the lumps would dry out in time. Now they've test-started the snow blowers and filled the gasoline tanks. So far the season's lowest temperature was 34 degrees on Monday. Bronk's worry has been an ice storm so he has sanders and salt machines ready. "I always have to think this is going to be the big storm. If you think it's going to be an easier day, you're going to get burned," said Bronk. For weeks, lawn sprinklers have been turned off, leaves and bicycle racks are removed. New grounds employees have been walked through campus to be shown the obstacles that may be covered with snow later. "The problem with snow removal on campus," said Bronk, "is that there are all tight spaces. Obstacles are everywhere and we need to be aware of them." Another big part of the winter preparation is just making sure the equipment works. "One of our dump trucks is from 1979 and the plows are about 15 years old," said Bronk.

New WSU alumni chief: More bands in paradeWINONA, Minn., Nov. 29, 2001 -- Although on the job only a few weeks, the new Winona State University alumni director, Kim Zeiher, already has ideas for next year's homecoming, including more bands in the parade. Zeiher wants to ask Cotter High School, known for its marching band, for help. Asked about the alcohol episode at this year's parade, Zeiher said it's an issue that has to be addressed, but, she said, it's unfortunate that the drinking is highlighted. "Drinking is the choice of each individual and thought needs to be given to those individual actions," she said. Zeiher noted that only a few individuals were abusing alcohol. Zeiher wants to divert the focus away from people who have "indulged a bit."

"I don't want this to happen again," Weinkauf said. "It's not worth getting a second offense." Weinkauf getting ticketed, and a similar police catch the same night at Brothers, heightened awareness among bar employees throughout Winona. Said Chuckers bartender Brad Fox: "I will definitely think twice about serving customers, especially when the bouncers aren't on duty to check ID's."

Prof: Ad job prospects saggingWINONA, Minn., Nov. 29, 2001 -- Advertising grads shouldn't expect an easy time getting jobs in coming months, what with the post-Sept. 11 economic slowdown, a Winona State University professor said. "Agencies are not hiring right now," said graphics prof Becky McConnell. Instead, agencies look to freelancers, McConnell said. Many agencies in the Twin Cities, such as Bozell Kamstra and Lynch Jarvis Jones, went under in the recent months, she said. "It has been a hard year for marketing communications agencies in the Twin Cities, and they are a good portrayal of the situation in the whole industry," McConnell said. Several agencies, like Martin-Williams, laid off employees to control costs and survive. In addition, agencies have merged and consolidated to strengthen services or survive. Anthrax-contaminated mail has hurt direct-mail advertising, which had been one of the bright spots in advertising, she said. "The industry is volatile right now. Clients are unable to make marketing plans," McConnell said: Clients keep their budgets flat and cut back on spending. Some postpone work. "Some new product launches planned for fall would have to be pushed to the fourth quarter or early 2002," McConnell said.
