WSU looking to football stadium upgradeWINONA, Minn., Apri 2, 2002 -- Winona State University plans to install premium seating in its football stadium this summer. "We are still in a planning phase," said Athletic Director Larry Holstad. At this point, he said, the idea is for reserved seating as part of $100-a-seat season package. The package would include a reserved parking spot right outside the stadium, said Holstad. The revenue would finance the addition of special center-field seats. Holstad said he believes that as many as 200 packages can be sold, with families of football players, alumni and area businesses having a special interest. "We are going to put in as many permanent seats as we sell," Holstad said. "If we sell 100 tickets, then we'll put in 100 seats. If we sell 200, then we'll put in 200." In the longer term, he said, the university plans to renovate the press box, add new bathrooms, and build a permanent concession stand, said Holstad. Plans for the press box include corporate seating and coaching boxes, said Holstad. The time frame depends on the sales of the season ticket packages and donations, he said. No state funds are envisioned for the renovations, said Holstad. With an upgraded facility, Holstad said, he hopes Winona State can host a home playoff game eventually.

WSU store manager: No threat from Book WorldWINONA, Minn., April 2, 2002 -- The Winona State University bookstore does not see the new chain bookstore at Winona Mall, Book World, as a direct competitor. The campus store director, Karen Krause, said she caters specifically to students -- not mass consumers. Book World, she noted, does not carry textbooks. Krause said the campus store's inventory meets most student needs. If a student requests a book not in stock, a special order goes out, she said. Krause gave a hypothetical example of a student looking for Cliffnotes for a specific novel: She now has Book World on her list of where to go. Krause noted that students generally don't have time to read anything more than is required for class. Students generally aren't pleasure readers, she said.

The helicopter will land in the Stark Hall parking lot at 4:30 p.m., said prof Catherine Nose. A pilot, registered nurse and paramedic will be available for questions.

Choctaw writer to read from her work at WSUWINONA, Minn., April 2, 2002 -- Novelist LeAnne Howe is appearing at Winona State University to read from her novel "Shell Shaker" at a public presentation. She will meet separately with students. Howe, an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation, has drawn from both experience and scholarly research for her work on Choctaw women. "Very few writers can shift a narrative skillfully between centuries and negotiate an enemy language, tribal governments and a slew of spirits while doing so," said Joy Harjo, noted poet and musician in a publicity interview. "Very few can translate the soul of such a legacy into words, and allow the shape of such a story to weave itself, like stomp dancers around the fire, naturally."Date: April 15

Wolf's Den proprietor to appeal booze permit denial| The proposed Wolf's Den would be a multi-story music and booze palace at 220 E. 3rd St. The first floor would show local bands, the second floor would hold shows for bigger bands, said backer Patrick Wolfe. "The sale of the building is contingent on us getting our liquor license," said Wolfe. "It would be a shame to have a building like this slip from under our fingers," said Wolfe. Wolfe said 350 petition signatures have been collected in support of the plan. He doesn't understand the opposition: "The area isn't even residential. It is mostly businesses like laundry mats and stores." |

| WINONA, Minn., April 2, 2002 -- A principal backer of the proposed Wolf's Den night club, whose liquor license request was denied recently, said he will petition City Council to reconsider. At the heart of the issue, said Patrick Wolfe, is the Council's passage of a city-wide moratoruim on liquor license sales after delaying the Wolf's Den request until later in the agenda. "It is just is too shady that they tabled our permit request for three weeks until the date that they wanted to pass their moratorium and then they would hear our permit request after the passing of the moratorium," said Wolfe. "It was my understanding that there was no limit on the amount of liquor licenses the city of Winona could sell," said Wolfe. "We thought just had to pass a background check and pay the fee," said Wolfe. Right now all that Wolf can get is a two-thirds license, which would only allow wine and alcohol with 2.3 percent alcohol, which is "basically domestic beer," said Wolfe. "Kwik Trip can sell 2.3 beer," said Wolfe. The public generally supports Wolf's Den, he said: "We have had many editorials written about this and have even been on some radio shows. A lot of people think we got screwed," said Wolfe.

| ALMA, Wis., April 2, 2001 -- The veteran chair of the Buffalo County Board lost a re-election bid 175-87, six months after a relevation that he had let his farm be used for a surprise rave that drew thousands of electro-charged young people last Labor Day weekend. Ron Drazkowski had headed the County Board for 10 years. Drazkowski survived a challenge to his leadership in September in a split 8-8 vote of the board. Several board members who sided with him then lost in Tuesday's election.
