WSU cage coach: Pace, drive wows fansWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- The key to early Winona State University women's basketball victories has been a full-court pressure defense and depth and balance off the bench, according to Coach Terri Sheridan. The depth has really showed, said Sheridan: "We wowed some fans with our different style of play." This year the Warriors have "youthful enthusiasm" that makes more exciting fast-paced games, said Sheridan. Everyone on the bench can contribute to each game and that will make the Warriors difficult to scout this year, said Sheridan. "Last year the scouts could write down to stop Amanda Brown and watch Nicole Reisner," said Sheridan. "This year they don't have that luxury." Against Viterbo in the final game of the Jefferson Classic, Reisner scored 23 points, making 73 percent of her shots. "She makes the people around her better and wants to get everyone involved instead of just scoring, and that is how we're going to win games," said Sheridan.

Fossum seeks to erase rubberstamp imageWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- A tremendous void exists in student knowledge about university finances, said the student president at Winona State. The result is misinformation and suspicion, said Jason Fossum in an interview about an almost-certain tuition hike next fall, perhaps the largest in Winona State history. To address the knowledge gap, Fossum has put together a student task force: "My vision is to put together student senators and some general student representatives and get them to see how tuition works." In the past, said Fossum, the Student Senate has not known the right questions to put to university President Darrell Krueger or Comptroller Scott Ellinghuysen when they come seeking Student Senate endorsements for tuition increase. "Every year, President Krueger and his team walk in with all their information, and it just seems to go without saying that we will accept it," Fossum said. "Don't get me wrong, I trust President Krueger and Scott Ellinghuysen. We've never been misled. We sometimes get criticized for not doing our homework. We're just going to double-check it all." If the task force does its work, the Senate cannot be accused of just being a rubberstamp anymore, Fossum said: "People think our organization just does what we're told. But now we can say that we've both done the math and have come to the same conclusions. If we see something that doesn't work out, we can point it out. But I have a strong feeling we will reach the same conclusions as President Krueger."

R.I.P.: Raphael C. "Ray" DulasWINONA, Minn., Dec. 19, 2001 -- A former College of St. Teresa maintenance employee, Ray Dulas, died at a nursing home at age 82. Dulas was a plumber by trade.
Walch conviction barely noted in newspaperWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- The Winona Daily News reported the drunk-driving conviction of Winona State University football player Ryan Walch in the small print of the court column. There was no story. Sports editor Jim Kohner explained in an earlier interview that he prefers good news. The Winonan student newspaper at Winona State hasn't had an issue in two weeks, but co-sports editor Chris Yarolimek said it wasn't his kind of story.

With one exception, Goner virus bypasses WSUWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- Students should not worry about getting the latest computer virus, Goner, according to Jay Smith, team leader for computer support at Winona State University. The Goner virus, which affected up to 36,000 people per hour in 19 countries one night in early December, had almost no effect on the 3,500 students leasing laptops at Winona State. Smith said that he knows of only one person whose computer got this virus. The student had older anti-virus software. A software update eliminated the virus, Smith said.

Dorm supervisors: Glad strike no longerWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- As if a new job doesn't have enough challenges, the two incoming dorm directors at Winona State University received a special baptism with the two-week employee strike in October. Lynna Brenner, in charge at the Sheehan dorm, remembered that even getting just-out-reach light bulbs changed seemed to take forever without janitors. Overall, she said, dorm tenants were understanding. Bathroom cleanliness and pest control were problems, Brenner said, adding she was thankful the AFSCME and MAPE walkout lasted no longer. Sara Lee Garcia, director at the off-campus Lourdes, Maria and Loretto dorms, said the strike affected student morale: "When those people left, people like Elmer Sylvester and others who students were used to seeing around, morale went down."

Job outlook for elementary teachers mixedWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- The outlook for elementary teaching majors at Winona State University hoping for a job next fall is promising in some subfields, according to the students' advising coordinator. Prof Rob Winters said the strongest demand is for early-childhood teachers and with lesser demand for primary teachers. Pre-primary is least in demand, he said. In the primary area as well as high school, a demand has developed for math and science teachers. At pre-primary the strongest demand is in music and special-ed, while phys-ed and health teachers are oversupplied, he said. Last fall there were 29 Winona State frosh interested in early-childhood licensure, 56 in pre-primary, and 67 in primary. "These numbers have increased at least 30 percent over the last three years," said Winters.

Despite WSU web site, no smoking in dormsWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- Inferring from the Winona State web site that smoking is allowed in the dorms is flat-out wrong, said the university's housing chief. John Ferden said online dorm applications ask whether the student is a smoker because some people would not consider living with smokers, Ferden said. It's a mechanism only for matching smokers with smokers, he said. Minnesota policy on smoking in public buildings covers the university, said Ferden. In the contract issued to dorm students, Ferden said, "there is a quote that says smoking is not allowed in campus buildings."

County unit OKs porn shop limitsWINONA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2001 -- The county Planning Commission unanimously approved limits on where sex shops and other adults businesses may locate. The proposed ordinance, which goes now to the County Board, bars adult-oriented businesses within 1,500 feet of church, school, playground, swimming pool, library, daycare, and "facilities providing entertainment to youth." The ordinance would be a pre-emptive action. The only porn shop in the area, Downtown Book & Video, is within city, not county jurisdiction. The city already has restrictions on porn shop locations, but Adult Book & Video is exempted for five years.
Background: Moralists push for more adult-biz limits
WINONA CAMPUS WRAPUP
TOP FALL NEWS
How one campus reporter ranks this fall's news:
1. Alcohol crackdown. Winona had a sharp increase of college students cited for alcohol infractions. A record number of parties were broken up. Winona State security guards had an unusually large number of on-campus alcohol-related incidents.
2. Campus strike. Winona State lost many non-faculty staff when two unions went on strike against the State of Minnesota. The unions were seeking better wages and health coverage. The strike lasted two weeks.
3. Tuition. After enduring an 11 percent tuition hike, Winona State students were told that an even larger increase is likely next year. University officials said that a worst-case scenario could bring a 23 percent increase.
4. WSU homecoming. Winona people reacted angrily to drunken hooliganism in the Winona State homecoming parade. A rugby player was so drunk that he fell off of a float and cracked his head, temporarily stopping the
parade.
5. Sept. 11. Campus people responded to the terrorism of Sept. 11 with prayer vigils and gatherings. Anthrax scares led some Winona State staff to wear rubber gloves to prevent getting the deadly bacteria.
6. Parking. Students of Winona State complained about the lack of campus parking. When the city's winter parking restrictions went into effect Nov. 1, many received $25 tickets, adding to their aggravation.
7. Alcohol task force. Reacting to community outrage, the Winona State Student Senate set up its own alcohol task force, in addition to joining a multi-campus alcohol task force with city officials.

10. Dorms. Ground-breaking for a dorm on Sarnia Street was supposed to take place before this school year, but complications slowed the process. In other dorm news, students living on-campus next year will see a hike in costs . Major repairs on existing dorms are planned over the summer.
