at data theft, coverupWINONA, Minn., Jan. 28, 2002 -- Students at the Lourdes dorm at Winona State University campus were first concerned that a book containing their Social Security numbers had been stolen from the dorm's front desk -- then furious that university officials wouldn't even confirm that the book was missing. Frosh Ashley Seeger said that
she was upset to learn from the grapevine that her Social Security number was "out and in the open." An unsigned poster, couched in angry language, brought what had happened to everyone's attention. Said Seeger: "I'm holding the university completely responsible for
this." She said the university should be using a school identification number, called the Warrior ID, not Social Security numbers, for confirming who's coming in the front door of the dorm.

HOSTETTER
Back from Afghanistan |

| WINONA, Minn., Jan. 28, 2002 -- Around 80 percent of the casualties incurred from U.S. bombing in Afghanistan are innocent civilians, peace activist Doug Hostetter told a Winona State University audience. Reporting on a recent mercy mission to the region, Hostetter said the people he encountered didn't feel a connection to the Taliban and were actually relieved that the United States was destroying the Taliban. They hoped only that innocent Afghan lives wouldn't be lost, he said. Hostetter, part of the Mennonite Central Committee, hauled wheat, cooking oil, and sugar over dirt roads to alleviate starvation. More dangerous than the war itself, he said, was criminal activity. When staying in a compound outside of Afghanistan he was told not to travel outside of the compound at night because friends during the day could easily become enemies. One of the things that happens, he said, when the civil infrastructure of a society collapses, is that the opportunist fanaticism comes forward because of people looking for simple answers to complex questions.

WSU fires second dorm supervisorWINONA, Minn., Jan. 28, 2002 -- Another dorm supervisor has been fired at Winona State University, the second in a few weeks, sources said. Michael Porritt, in charge of the dorms, declined to comment. The sources said the supervisor, a student, was in charge of a floor in one of the Winona State's nine dorms. The supervisors, called "resident assistants," are hired through a screening process designed to identify role models. Despite their officially bestowed and pleasant-sounding "R.A." title, the supervisors are part of the university's chain-of-command disciplinary structure to maintain order in the dorms and enforce rules. Earlier, a Lourdes dorm supervisor, Heather Anderson, 19, was thrown out after being accused of having alcohol in her room.

Science dean: New complex to be "really nice"WINONA, Minn., Jan. 28, 2002 -- The proposed Winona State University science building will be an aesthetic masterpiece, said sciences Dean Nancy Jannik. The center of the proposed three-building complex, which will include Stark Hall and renovated Pasteur Hall, will be a covered lobby area that is open for three levels. "It's going to be a really nice place to have science on display," Jannik said. "It's a very different feeling than ugly, smelly Pasteur." In artistic renditions of the new building, the outside will tie together the architecture of the new library and Stark Hall, with copper details on the roof. The structure will stand out, viewable even from the Interstate Bridge from Wisconsin. "As you're coming over the bridge, they designed it so you'd see nice soft lighting," Jannik said. "In the campus view, it has a lighted stairwell."

WSU dean is Acoustic's next featured performer| WINONA, Minn., Jan. 28, 2002 -- Winona State University's dean of liberal arts, Joe Gow, will be the Acoustic Cafe's featured February performer. Music manager Jess Heydt-Nelson decided to feature Gow based on his cafe performance Oct. 19. Gow brought in a lot of students and faculty and impressed other customers with his ability as a musician, she said. "People are beginning to see him more as a musician than just a dean," Heydt-Nelson said. As featured performer Gow has a larger description on the Acoustic Cafe's calendar and a short bio. When choosing a performer, Heydt-Nelson said she looks for someone talented and reliable. Also, she said, Gow plays acoustic blues guitar: "We're Acoustic Cafe, so we're partial to acoustic acts." Heydt-Nelson said that in most cases, including Gow's, the artist approaches or contacts her about wanting to perform the first time. After hearing a demo she decides whether to book them. A consideration, said Heydt-Nelson, is whether an act attracts a crowd. She said that the cafe takes in noticeably more money on performance nights. |

Six students in WSU stop-smoking programWINONA, Minn., Jan. 28, 2002 -- So far this semester six Winona State University students have signed up for the campus stop smoking program -- compared to 27 in the fall. The program begins with a test to determine why an individual smokes, said nurse Maureen Guillou. The program is not a one size fits all, Guillou said. The best way to quit is "different for everyone," she said. According to Guillou, the success rate for the program is slightly less than 50 percent. For many students, she said, quitting is cost-effective. Zyban, a non-nicotine aid, is being covered by more and more insurance companies. What's it take to quit? Said Guillou: "Commitment."

Prez: Deaf ears will greet Rochester's UM planWINONA, Minn., Jan. 28, 2002 -- The president of Winona State University, Darrell Krueger, is not keen on a new initiative from Rochester civic leaders to have full branch of the University of Minnesota in Rochester. The directors of The Greater Rochester Area University Center made the proposal a couple weeks ago. In a meeting with Winona State faculty, Krueger said that the possibility of a UM-Rochester branch is unlikely for economic reasons alone. Krueger noted that Winona State has a solid presence in Rochester with 40 profs. The Winona State Rochester program goes back to 1917, he said. Geology prof Catherine Summa said that she was disturbed by an article on the initiative in the Rochester Post-Bulletin disturbing but the University of Minnesota, adding, though, that there is no evidence hat the University of Minnesota is interested.
