Knives, airgun confiscated in WSU dormWINONA, Minn., Dec. 6, 2001 -- The weapons confiscated in a student's room at the Lourdes dorm at Winona State University on Nov. 19 were four throwing knives and a paint-ball gun, campus security chief Don Walski said. The student claimed that he was a knife collector, Walksi said: "I'm sure the young man was telling the truth." Walski said the knives were typical of what a collector might own. The weapons were found when a dorm supervisor entered the student's locked room following a complaint about his stereo being too loud, according to Walski. The student lived alone. A note was left for the student that the items had been confiscated and that he could claim them. Walski said the weapons were later returned to the student on condition that he keep them off campus. Dorm rules forbid weapons.

| WINONA, Minn., Dec. 6, 2001 -- The student spring concert coordinator at Winona State University, Tera Woltjer, reported encouraging response to a bid for up-and-coming rock band Nickelback. "Our bid for Nickelback is looking really good. Our agent sounds really positive," said Woltjer. She said she hopes that the university's $40,000 offer will be accepted before the end of next week. Nickelback may start a tour in March but will definitely be on tour in April and May, she said. Woltjer hopes that some of the band's tour dates will coincide with April dates that McCown Gym is available. "There are very few weekends available in March, but we have all weekends in April booked," said Woltjer. If Nickelback is not booked by the time Woltjer's committee members leave for semester break, the university's student activities director, Joe Reed, has asked that the final decision be placed in the hands of the students on the concert committee. The concert committee would need to finalize the accepted bid or, if denied, look for another band.

Detective: Halter linked to other Winona cases?EAU CLAIRE, Wis., Dec. 6, 2001 -- A man who faces extradition to Winona for a campus-area rape 1-1/2 years ago, Jude Wilson Halter, is a suspect in multiple Winona home-entry cases, said Detective Eric Larson of the Eau Claire police. Halter, 26, of Eau Claire, is a former Winona State Unversity student who was arrested in Eau Claire last week after a woman reported waking up to find a man in her bedroom. "We are definitely not ruling him out for any rape or home entry cases," said Larson. "The only thing we are dealing with in Eau Claire is the home entry case. Everything else he has done is being handled and investigated in Winona." The Winona rape was in July 2000, when Halter was attending Winona State.

| WINONA, Minn., Dec. 6, 2001 -- Winona State University grads who belong to the International Association of Business Communicators can get extra help finding jobs during the economic downturn, the association's state director, Dawn Mitchell, told masscom students. Student members have an opportunity to submit an application and resume to the Job Mart. "When a job comes in that fits your needs and the company's needs, you're contacted," said Mitchell. Students can also attend the annual Meet the Pros on Feb. 19 in Minneapolis. "This will be a great opportunity for students to hear speakers and have small group interaction with professionals from the fields they are pursuing," said Mitchell. Mitchell said the best way students can prepare themselves for job searching in the down economy is to have knowledge in desktop programs, extensive web knowledge, and excellent communication skills. Experience through internships and portfolios can also help, she said. "Students should be aware of both Associated Press style and the correct way of communicating technical terms. She said it's more likely to find corporate than agency jobs.

Halloween dorm incident "unusual, unfortunate"WINONA, Minn., Dec, 6, 2001 -- The sexual assault on a Sheehan dorm resident on Halloween night was the first trick-or-treating incident that Winona State University has had as far as he knows, said campus security chief Don Walski. Dorms have had open-door trick-or-treating since he started working for the university in 1995, Walski said. "It's just an unfortunate incident." The activity is open to the public, and residents who chose to participate leave their doors open and pass out candy. Generally parents bring their little kids in, but this year a gang of six to nine boys, 12 to 15, trapped a 19-year-old Sheehan tenant on an elevator and chased her and, she says, made lewd motions and touched her inappropriately. Walski said he is not sure if dorm supervisors will change their Halloween policy next year.

Boarders can't do it wthout snowWINONA, Minn., Dec, 6, 2001 -- A snow-free November does not have everyone happy. The Winona State University Snowboarding Club canceled its first outing travel north for want of snow. Club President Martin Murphy said this is the warmest winter he's experienced since he moved to Minnesota five years ago. Murphy was hoping for an early snow because he graduates in December. The club has 35 members. Murphy remembers coming back after Thanksgiving last year and being able to board both at Welch Village and Mount La Crosse, which had been making snow. Will things improve in December? Scott Watson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service, forecast 40 percent chance of rain or snow in the second week of December. Below normal temperatures and near normal precipitation are expected through February,Watson said.
