WINONA CAMPUS WRAPUP
TOP FALL NEWS
How one campus reporter ranks this fall's news:
1. Reaction to Sept. 11.The most defining news of this semester and perhaps of a generation was the terrorist attacks on the United States on Sept. 11. Students took time to watch the 24-hour news coverage on television, attend prayer services and take part in campus and community sharing gatherings.
2. Campus workers strike. On Oct.1, almost 30,000 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and Minnesota Association of Professional Employees members throughout the state went on strike after failed contract negotiations. The union workers demanded better health care coverage and higher wages. When most of their demands were met, workers returned after two full weeks of striking. Winona State and Southeast Tech members of the two unions, mainly technical, maintenance and secretarial workers, joined the strike.
3. Alcohol problem. President Darrell Krueger at Winona State and his administrators surged on in their fight against student-alcohol related problems. City Police Chief Frank Pomeroy held a meeting with Krueger and the Saint Mary's University president, Louis DeThomasis, to discuss what new policies need to be developed. Possibilities included suspension from school for repeat offenders and sending a letter to the parents of underage drinkers. Krueger issued a campus-wide e-mail, asking students to respect the community and take responsibility for their actions if they choose to drink.
4. Rugby player falls. Matt Ahlberg, a Winona State rugby player, fell off the team's flatbed float, stalling the homecoming parade about 15 minutes. Ahlberg, who was drunk, suffered a minor cut to his forehead. Seeing it as yet another community embarrassment, the university banned the club from next year's parade -- if there even is a parade. City leaders said they might not issue a permit.
5. Tuition increase expected. President Darrell Krueger sought Winona State Student Senate support for a 14 percent tuition increase for next fall. Later he said he may need 23 percent. The hike is the largest that Krueger has ever asked for. Tuition has been on a steady incline, rising 9.1 percent this year.
6. Faculty without contract. Negotiations on a statewide faculty contract stalled when the AFSCME and MAPE strike took effect. The profs' union decided to wait and see what type of settlement that AFSCME and MAPE would achieve. Faculty has been working without a contract all fall. A faulty strike has not been ruled out.
7. Varsity playoffs. The Winona State football and women's soccer teams both gained their first-ever regional NCAA Division II berths. The soccer team lost 2-1 to Northern Colorado in the first round. Football lost the first round 42-28 to North Dakota.
8. Anthrax scare. Soon after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, a handful of people on the East Coast were diagnosed with anthrax after handling contaminated mail. Even though anthrax was never reported in Minnesota, some cautious Winona State mail personnel donned gloves and dust masks. Campus security chief Don Walski issued a memo with instructions on what to do when suspecting an anthrax-laced letter or package.
9. Rape arrest. Former Winona State University student Jude Wilson Halter, 26, was arrested in Eau Claire, Wis., and was linked to a rape that occurred in Winona on July 4, 2000. He also confessed to two Winona break-ins that summer, one in which the victim continued to sleep as he stood there looking at her.
10. Campus renovations. State legislators visited Winona State to survey the conditions of the Pasteur science building, which is ranked sixth on a list of important state campus construction projects. The price tag: $40 million for a new building and renovations to Pasteur. The Minne classroom building, meanwhile, received a new ventilation system. Planning continued for a new dorm on Sarnia Street with groundbreaking set for May.
