Hurt was Jessica Kalmes, 21, of Rollingstone, Minn., who bled profusely from a forehead gash. The altercation occurred Jan. 3 about midnight.

At first police were told that Kalmes had fallen, but they concluded otherwise after a month-long investigation.

For Joe Reed, rock concert no small deal |
| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 18, 2002 -- Countless details are piling up on the desk of Joe Reed, the student activities coordinator at Winona State University, as the countdown continues toward April 12 and the Sugar Ray campus concert. Reed said he will look to Clearwater Production Co. for concert support. Also, Reed, who knows concert planning from his part-time work at the La Crosse Center, said he will lean on professionals he knows from the La Crosse Center for help. The students on the University Programming Activities Committee, a student-financed group, will participate in getting the McCown Gym ready for the concert, Reed said, noting that UPAC members have been praised in the past by other bands' roadies.

| Too many bars encourages binge drinking, says Police Chief Frank Pomeroy. "Because we give out so many licenses so easily the bars have to compete with each other so they have discounts, which attract bigger crowds and therefore lead to an increase in binge drinking," said Pomeroy.Winona has three times as many liquor licenses as Rochester, he said. "Many of the residents are getting sick of the 150 people coming out of Brothers Bar on Friday and Saturday nights waking them up," said Pomeroy. Binging has accounted for alcohol-related deaths, he said. Thirty-two underage drinkers students have been sent to 72-hour lockdown, usually called "detox," he said. |

| Police chief: Liquor license
criterion needs rethinkingWINONA, Minn., Feb. 18, 2002 -- The city needs to go about issuing bar licenses more intelligently, going far beyond the present practice of mere background checks on license applicants, says Police Chief Frank Pomeroy. A new law should try to makes sense of where the license would go, Pomeroy said. Demographics should be a factor in deciding if a liquor license is issued and what type of license a bar holds, said Pomeroy. "The original idea was to crack down on the amount of liquor licenses the city gives out came from me, but now the citizens are helping to come up with some alternative ways to handing out the licenses," said Pomeroy. A proposed moratorium before the City Council on March 4 would allow two years to devise a permanent policy. During the moratorium licenses could be sold and transferred but lapsed licenses would not be renewed. An issue, said Pomeroy, is the corridor from the Third Street bar district to Winona State Universty. He said many elderly tenants of the Kensington apartments complain that they are disturbed every weekend when the bars close at 1 in the morning. The moratorium would effect establishments that serve alcohol in the heavily collegian neighborhood between Huff and Franklin streets and the river and Broadway.

Prof doubts dye came from SMUWINONA, Minn., Feb. 18, 2002 -- Because of its heavily Irish-derived student body, suspicions turned to Saint Mary's University has the possible source of dye that somebody dumped into Lake Winona and made it look like St.Paddy's Day green beer. Saint Mary's chemistry prof Jim Vogel doubted, however, that the dye came from the Terrace Heights campus: "Our university does not use the Presto Dychem product." Asked what he knew about Dyechem, Vogel said that it could possibly be for dying on a small scale in food or clothing. Vogel made it clear he was just guessing.

Investigators without new clues in dye spillWINONA, Minn., Feb. 18, 2002 -- Fire Department investigators have no further leads in a chemical spill that turned part of the east end of Lake Winona green on Sunday, Fire Capt. Larry Vogen said. A call had been placed to the Presto Dyechem Co., manufacturer of two plastic containers of dye found floating near the spill, Vogen said. Who did the act? Vogen said he had no new ideas. Considering that the chemical is benign, he wasn't sure a heavy-duty investgation was warranted.

Prof: WSU chemistry storeroom lockedWINONA, Minn., Feb. 18, 2002 -- A Winona State University chemistry prof, Jamie Schneider, said students do not have access to the storage room where lab chemicals are stored -- so it's unlikely that students were the source of a dye that turned a section of Lake Winona green on Sunday. The room is locked with keys and is supervised by the stockroom manager, Schneider said. She said she knew of no one in the science departments who does any water testing in their classes. About the suspected dye agent in the lake, manufactured by Presto Dyechem Co., Schneider said it's a fluorescent sea dye marker used for sea rescues. So any person that owns a boat might have the chemical, said Schneider. The dye, available in green, red and blue, can be seen for a mile and lasts 30 minutes.

Lake Winona spill probe deadends at WSU| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 17, 2002 -- Investigators turned their focus away from Winona State University students as the source of a dye spill in Lake Winona. At first authorities thought the spill might be a science experiment gone bad. Then the dye was identified tentatively as a widely available and safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable Presto Dyechem product. |

Manufacturer: Harmless, nontoxic, biodegradable |
The dye is used to trace water flows and in water searches and rescues. Meanwhile, numerous Winona State people were scratching their heads. Biology chair Larry Reuter said he had never heard of Presto Dyechem. Nursing Dean Tim Gasper said the only that would come close to that color would be urine samples, but his would hardly be enough to tint Lake Winona. Physics lab supervisor Barbara Shields said she knew no campus physicists who would use "a chemical like that." University purchasing agent Sandi Schmidt said she didn't have a clue whether the university possessed the chemical. "I don't have the faintest idea," said Schmidt. Science Dean Nancy Jannik said she too was clueless.

| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 18, 2002 -- Sick of bad excuses, a Winona State art prof is buckling down on attendance. The last couple of semesters Mary Coughlan has rewritten her attendance policy to encourage attendance. Her syllabus explains that students are given two free absences. After the second absence, a student's grade drops one full letter grade. "I am sick of wasting class time listening to bad excuses, so for the two free absences I don't care to hear an excuse." Coughlan said. "I don't care if you are sick or just wanted to sit at home and eat ice cream." Asked whether students would be allowed an exception for a death, Coughlan said: "Students have the two free days to use or they can talk to me about it. I wouldn't keep a student away from a funeral." Coughlan expects students to be at class on time and stay until the end. Every time a student comes to class late or leaves early is half an absence. Experiences with bad excuses have taught Coughlan not even to listen: "The worst excuse I had was when a student called me from jail telling me that he couldn't be at class. He then proceeded to tell me that he was there because violated a restraining order that his wife had against him. I think he wanted me to feel sorry for him." Coughlan hates dealing with absences and even worse with bad excuses. She tells her students on the first day that if they don't think that they can come every class and stay the whole time then they should drop right away: "I am here on time and stay the whole time. Why can't you?"
