Gender author: Feminist movement redefining maleness
|
| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 13, 2002 -- Over the past 50 years, the feminist movement has grown to the point that it's had negative effects on relationships between men and women, gender equity author Michael Kimmel told about 200 Winona State University students. As more women enter the workforce, they are finding more difficulty in balancing work and family without male support, Kimmel said. The traditional concept of the male as the outside-the-household breadwinner with a secondary at-home role is changing -- a change that is difficult for many men to handle, he said. Kimmell said that men and women will be able to get along better when men decide to take feminism more seriously. "When I teach classes on feminism, about 90 percent of students are women," he said. "Men typically feel that gender relations do not apply to them."

WSU studs not cheap: $74 high bidWININA, Minn., Feb. 13, 2002 -- Winona State University men displayed singing, flexing and other talents to attract bidders at a dorm stud auction. The highest bid went for assistant Quad dorm director Logan Carstensen -- $74. Sarah Givot said she made the bid to get even with Carstensen for endlessly teasing her. What will Givot do with the two hours of Carstensen's time, in which she could require him to do anything she wanted. "Laundry," she said. He will do her laundry. The second highest auctionee, Adam Baker, whose talent was an impersonation of Alex Trebek, was bought by Amber Paulson for 32. Paulson wants a massage during her two hours. The auction was a fun-raiser for a dorm block party in the spring.

WSU Webmail free, touted as betterWINONA, Minn., Feb. 13, 2002 -- Students who experience problems with e-mail correspondence for their courses have themselves to blame, said campus computer programmer John Stafford at Winona State University. Stafford called on profs to remind students to use Winona State's reliable Webmail system. Most problematic among alternatives is Hotmail, which has significant restrictions on how much mail storage that clients can have, said Stafford. "Most students exceed the storage limit rather quickly, therefore messages sent to them are summarily rejected." Hotmail has daily failures due to simple overload, he said. He called Excite.com "free but dysfunctional." Excite.com arbitrarily rejects new mail every day without giving a reason, he said. MSN.com is another that fails every day, he said. "WSU's Webmail might not have all the flashy ads and bogus extras the so-called free services have, but it is still free and is simply more reliable," Stafford said.
WSU assessment site scores 1,800 hitsWINONA, Minn., Feb. 13, 2002 -- The institutional assessment director at Winona State, Sue Hatfield, was up past midnight tracking participation in the university's class-free Assessment Day program.

Hatfield said the survey site would be open another week.

ANOTHER VIEW: NEWSWORTHINESS
RAVES ARE FOR DANCING
FROM A READER SIGNED ONLY AS WEST
HOTMAIL MESSAGE DATED SEPT. 19 BUT ARRIVED FEB. 13
Why the hell do you journalists think that parties are news-worthy? It's only some kids getting together to do what we love, and that is to dance. Not all of us are just there to get fucked up. I have a real passion for our culture. We need more people (parents and adults most especially) to support the children of our world to do what they want, instead of trying to make it harder for us to do what we want: Dance!
For your information there were definitely not 10,000 kids at the Labor Day rave at the Gin Mill, maybe 4,000 at the most. And another thing, just because there are a few bad apples doesn't mean that there were "thousands of ecstasy-induced revelers." Generalizations are a sign of ignorance, and that is why you don't know anything about us. You have to experience something to really know what is going on.
I'd be much appreciative if you, and all the other journalists in this world that think raves are just drugfests, would report on something that has a little bit more value.
Reality check: Kids can get fucked up wherever they want, whether it be at a house party, a college dorm, an auditorium, a park, in their car, or at a rave. |

WSU GLOBAL STUDIES

|
| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 13, 2002 -- A global studies prof at Winona State University, Dan Eastman, does not put up with unexcused absences. He expects students to attend his class daily. Students in Eastman's 200-enrollment class face a sign-in sheet every meeting. Students each put their signature in a blank next to their name. Skipping has consequences. Each missed class is 3 points off the course average number. Miss four classes, for example and a perfect 100 score drops 12 points to 88. The penalty encourages attendance, he said. What about making up an unexcused absence? "Missed classes will not be re-taught during an office visit," said Eastman. Eastman recognizes extraordinary circumstances, which he said he considers on an individual basis. He does expect to be notified, though -- in person or by e-mail or phone. What's allowable? Personal health problems, a death or funeral, or a car accident. If a student has a legit excuse, there is no reason to think about dropping the class, he said.
