WSU prez lays out fiscal planning guides WINONA, Minn., Dec, 15, 2001 -- As Winona State tries to grip with a pending budget crisis, President Darrell Krueger said the university's core values will not be overlooked. In a somber message to campus people about university finances, Krueger vowed to look "at the good of the whole." Decisions would be made on "a principle-centered, collaborative and collegial fashion," he said. Short-term decisions will keep long-term goals in mind. Krueger said "a commitment to tenured and probationary faculty and staff" will be honored. At the same time, he said, the university will try to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Coach: Warriors to be 100% by Spring Ball

SAWYER No rest

WINONA, Minn., Dec. 13, 2001 -- The football coach at Winona State University, Tom Sawyer, has three players scheduled for surgery over the December break, but by Spring Ball, beginning April 1, those players "should be 100 percent," Sawyer said. The team trains all winter to stay in shape for spring three intrasquad spring scrimmages. "We try our best to simulate as much like a real game," Sawyer said. The Warriors lost six seniors after this fall season, three of whom were starters. The team has 19 returning starters and 87 total returning players for next year. The team has had recruiters out scouting high school players since Dec. 1. "We are looking for athletes. We need players who are versatile," Sawyer said.

New WSU marketing chair tries group advising

MURPHY Suddenly 75 advisees

WINONA, Dec. 15, 2001 -- The new marketing department chair at Winona State University, Bill Murphy, introduced group advising. It was a necessity. Murphy was earlier chair of the administrative information systems department, where he had 15 advisees. In marketing, a much larger department, suddenly he had 75. "The first group advising session went well. There was a good student turnout," he said. Murphy explained the purpose of the meeting was to discuss prerequisites and academic integrity and also to make sure the students were enrolled in the correct classes. "We wanted to hold this session to make sure they are all getting their prerequisites done before they take the higher-level classes." The university has 300 students majoring in marketing. As chair, Murphy succeeds Jim Bovinet, who is away on sabbatical. Murphy's term as chair is three years. Reporter: Whitney Wolfe

Expanded porn shop claims more customers

WINONA, Minn., Dec. 15, 2001 -- With a First Amendment endorsement from a federal judge, Adult Book and Video, the porn shop at 72 E. Third St., has expanded next door and is doing just fine, thank you. Sales increased after expanding for fall, said manager Chad Fiksdal. The college students being back in town helped sales, he said. "But it's not empty in the summer," he said. "We have regulars." Owner Dennis G. Buchanan II started building the new section of the store in mid-July after a federal judge rejected city attempts to halt the expansion. The wall that separated the original shop from a vacated stationery shop was torn down. "We bought it because we were out of room," Fiksdal said. With more space, Fiksdal said, the store expanded its inventory to include more toys, smoke shop items and lingerie. Reporter: Angie Anderson Background: Federal judge: Let smut shop expand
