Feminist prof moves upstairs; offending wall stays| Although feminist prof Tamara Berg is enjoying her new office away from a display of material that offends her, she can't get away entirely: "I still do have to teach in Minne 108, which is right across the hall from it." |
|
| WINONA, Minn., Feb.20, 2002 -- After months of conflict, Winona State University women's studies prof Tamara Berg has moved to a new office two floors above archrival Barry Perrat. According to Berg, her office was moved along with the women's studies office to a larger space shared with the philosophy department. Although not initially Berg's idea, she is enjoying the new space: "It is nice to not have to constantly walk by Perrat's sexist and homophobic postings, especially the anti-women's studies stuff." The Berg-Perrat feud, which has landed in the university personnel office, began when Perrat put up a poster outside his first-floor Minne office for a group that claims it can undo homosexuality. As the feud escalated, Perrat added more material. The wall now is cluttered with posters, articles and letters on sexuality and women's studies. One poster asserts that feminists are falsely overdramatizing campus rape risks. Most of the information on the wall is Perrat's, but some Berg followers have tacked up their own stuff. One letter, by a lesbian student, calls Perrat's ideas hateful and dubious. Also on display is a petition with 100 signatures for Perrat to take down the postings. Perrat's followers say he is exercising the right of every human being to express viewpoints.

Could bar fight affect Brothers' license? |
| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 20, 2002 -- A manager at Brothers bar, a Third Street college hangout, blamed human error for an underage woman getting in the night of a ferocious fight in the women's bathroom. Ryan Schinke said that Anne Shelgren Juaire, 20, used a fake ID the night of Jan. 3. "There will be human error at the door. The bouncers aren't perfect," said Schinke. Brothers is one of the three downtown bars under review by the City Council for continuing law violations, mainly for admitting underage drinkers. The fact that Juaire is only 20 and not legally allowed into the bar won't affect the review at all, said both Schinke and fellow manager Jeff Lubinski. Juaire, 20, has been charged with third-degree assault. Also under review by the City Council are the licenses of Bulls-Eye and Chuckers.

Are WSU profs unengaged in union policy?WINONA, Minn., Feb. 20, 2002 -- The process of submitting proposals to the state union that represents professors was to be covered at a Winona State University faculty meeting Wednesday. But no one showed up. The meeting, sponsored by the Winona State unit of the union, the Inter-Faculty Organization, was called to review the steps to write a resolution for consideration by the state IFO Delegate Assembly. "Obviously there isn't a big interest," Matt Hyle, Winona State's only negotiator on the state contract team, said jokingly. Time for submitting resolutions is running out. The IFO Delegate Assembly meets March 22 and 23 in St. Paul to set union policies. Issues facing the Assembly include contract goals, said Hyle.

WSU clubs in line for $30,000 extraWINONA, Minn., Feb. 20, 2002 -- The Student Senate made many Winona State University campus clubs happy by deciding to grant more special funding requests. Thirty-thousand dollars will be taken from a reserve fund. The decision came after seven clubs were turned away due to lack of funds inj the usual account for club trips and activityies, said Senate President Jason Fossum. In other action, the Senate elected Katie Anderson, Jessica Hedrick and Jennifer Reger to fill vacancies on the Senate.

Landlords devising legal strategy against city| To finance a legal battle against the city, the new landlord association needs 400 to 450 members, said organizer Don Brown. It's doable, he said. His last meeting two weeks ago drew 30 people. "It's a step-by-step process of building," he said. Dues of $100 go to hiring a lawyer, he said. Meanwhile, the association is filing to become a non-profit organization, which would exempt it from taxes. "We're trying to do everything low cost," Brown said. "We're not out to make money but to make a difference." |

| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 20, 2002 -- The new Winona Area Landlord Association is at work deciding when to take legal action against the city over ordinance and code crackdowns, organizer Don Brown said. A noise ordinance that puts rental liccenses in jeopardy with three tenant violations deprives landlords of their rights as citizens, Brown said. "We're being penalized, because if you own property, you're responsible for others' problems," Brown said. If a rental license is lost, tenants have to move out, he said. "They city doesn't care how cold or hot it is," he said. "They don't care if there's 15, 20 apartments in the complex. If one person breaks the ordinance, the entire building is evicted. They don't give a rat's ass about any of it." Also eating at landlords is a requirement for new windows for firefighters to get inside buildings. "This costs landlords thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars," he said. By requiring egress windows, Brown said the city is taking away rights outlined in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and 12th amendments to the U.S. Constitution. "We're going to prove that in a court of law," he said.

| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 20, 2002 -- Prof Ted Reilly's attendance policy for his Winona State University classes is simple: Be there. Even so, Reilly allows what he calls three "freebies" -- absences that are excused, no questions asked. After three, a 15-point reduction for every absence is assessed against 1,000 possible points for the course. Reilly has no sympathy for students who exceed three freebies. "At a job you get so many days off paid and after that you don't get paid for being gone any longer," said Reilly, "If you miss many days in class you should not get credit for not being there." Reilly said he has never encountered a problem with his policy. He encourages students to drop if attendance becomes a problem. "You miss a lot of information by not being in class," said Reilly.
