Mayor frets about boozers as models
MILLER "Monkey see, monkey do" |
|
| WINONA, Minn., Dec. 24, 2001 -- Mayor Jerry Miller said the bad examples that college students set last fall left him no choice but to create a city-campus alcohol task force. "All university students are role models," said Miller. He described students' relationship with the community's young kids as "monkey see, monkey do." Miller said no one can change the image of college students to positive except the students themselves. "Students must command respect from the community and for themselves," Miller said. He said he hopes the task force will help do that. Miller said he thinks university athletes should be involved because they have influence in the city and around campus. Winona State football coach Tom Sawyer has expressed interest in participating in the project, Miller said. Winona State has already appointed five student senators, including President Jason Fossum, to be representatives. Saint Mary's University and Southeast Technical College have also
chosen their delegates.

TOMORROW'S GREATEST BYLINES TODAY |
Marketing usually recession-proof, but jobs tighterWINONA, Minn., Dec. 24, 2001 -- December and June marketing grads will not be affected by the nationwide recession, said Winona State University marketing prof Mark Young. When the economy turns down, most companies do not cut their marketing department because marketing is what drives sales, Young said. One changing trend, however, is that marketing grads have to seek out job opportunity instead of companies looking for students, he said. For graduating students, this year's interviewing is becoming more informational and more personal, said Young. "The majority of students graduate in the spring, so we might have to wait until then to see if the recession is having an effect," said Young. Forty percent of graduating marketing students already have jobs, said Young. The other 60 percent have job opportunities or are in the final stages of getting a job. "A very high proportion of students graduating this fall have done very good internships," said Young. The president of the marketing division for First National Bank, George Schmelzel, said that right now he is not hiring because they already have a full staff, but marketing is so important to a company's success that it is not usually affected by a recession. "We are currently not on a hiring freeze, and have seen no signs of the recession effecting the marketing department," said
Schmelzel.
