Mayor frets about boozers as models

Jerry Miller.

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.

JOB OUTLOOK

Marketing usually recession-proof, but jobs tighter

WINONA, 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.

WINONA CAMPUS WRAPUP

TOP FALL NEWS

How one campus reporter ranks this fall's news:

1. WSU enrollment. Enrollment increased five percent at Winona State this fall with a total of 7,633 students. The number of freshmen and transfers grew 8.6 percent.

2. Terrorist attacks. Immediately after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C., campus crews moved large-screen television sets into Somsen auditorium for Winona State students to watch continuing news coverage. The following day, a forum was held to bring the campus student and faculty community together. Later Saint Mary;s held a grieving and sharing convocation.

3. Winter parking. The City Council increased the fine for alternate side winter parking. In past years the fine was $7, Suddenly it was $25, with most tickets in the Winona State neighborhood.

4. Drinking crackdown. Student and community leaders created a student-based drinking advisory board with members from all three Winona campuses. The goal: Reduce underage and binge drinking among students.

5. Rape arrest. A former Winona State student, Jude Wilson haler, was taken into police custody this fall for the rape of a Winona woman on the Fourth of July in 2000.

6. Off-campus housing. Apartment-hunting for next school year began in earnest in November. Advice from the experts hinged on choosing housemates, quality of housing, and rent.

6. New buildings. Winona State accelerated its push for state funding for a new science building to replace outdated Pasteur Hall. Second on the campus wish list: A new fitness center to replace the interim Maxwell facility.

8. Jobs. The terrorist attacks on the United States and the economic downturn hurt job prospects for new grads.

9. Strike. Workers at state campuses joined fellow union members in a statewide strike over wages and health coverage.

10. Tuition. Winona State University tuition went up 9.1 percent, exceeding the national average of 7.7 percent at public universities. It will happen at Winona State again next fall. Estimates range from 7 to 23 percent.
