Planning Commission to Collegeville: Scale downWINONA, Minn., April 8, 2002 -- The city Planning Commission rezoned a site across Highway 14 from Saint Mary's University for Collegeville Development Corp. to build housing units, but the company will need to downsize its plan. The new zoning category, R-1.5, will permit about 30 units -- short of the 42 planned by Collegeville. None could be multiple-family units. Collegeville had requested an R-2 zone, which have allowed clustering on smaller-than-usual lots. At a hearing, residents in the Knopp Valley area objected to the plan. Their main concern: Added traffic onto Highway 14 at the dangerous confluence of two major feeder streets, the main Saint Mary's entrance, and numerous driveways and alleys. Drainage in the once-bucolic neighborhood was also cited as a problem.;

Are WSU profs humorless or what?WINONA, Minn., April 8, 2002 -- It seemed like a good idea to Jennifer Baechle. As chair of the morale committee for Up 'til Dawn, an organization that raises money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, Baechle asked every Winona State University prof in an e-mail message to volunteer to take pies thrown in the face. Nobody answered. Baechle went back to the drawing board.
Hy-Vee plans WSU, SMU scholarshipsWINONA, Minn., April 8, 2002 -- Final preparations are in place for the new Hy-Vee grocery store to open Tuesday at Westgate Mall, according to the store director. "We're just making sure that everything looks perfect," said Tom Benoit. Although he didn't have exact numbers, Benoit said the store has a good representation of student employees from both Winona State and Saint Mary's universities. The store will have 300 employees, he said. Hy-Vee plans to become actively involved in the college community, Benoit said: "We're planning on setting up $1,000 scholarship funds at both Winona State University and Saint Mary's university," said Benoit. Guidelines will be left to the universities, he said: "We want it to be a broad-range scholarship that a lot of students can qualify for."

Campus site offers new service: Reading tips |
|
| WINONA, Minn., April 8, 2002 -- The CyberIndee, a news site that covers Winona campus news, will begin a periodic bibliography of significant reading for college people. "A lot of valuable journalism escapes busy college people," said faculty Editor John Vivian. "Our goal is to scan a great many sources and winnow out the most valuable material to help Winona campus people stay up-to-speed on news and information that affects their lives." The first installment, he said, includes recent articles from the New Yorker magazine and the Winona Daily News. The biblio entries will carry annotations, he said. |
CAMPUS READER
What in-the-know Winona college people are reading:
Rebecca Mead. "Letter from South Padre Island: Endless Spring," New Yorker (April 1, 2002), Pages 50-55. Mead, a New Yorker staff writer, traces the video-making odyssey of Chip Olson, who makes a living by recording spring break antics and excesses for MTV features and anyone else who will buy his work. Olson is best known for his "Spring Break Uncensored" series. Mead captures the essence of the South Padre free-for-all that attracts 86,000 college students who, according to a tourism study, stay an average of five nights and spend $266 on lodging, $100 on restaurants, $60 on groceries, and $140 on recreation, and $134 on other things, probably booze. How much for sex? Mostly free, it seems. There's less than you may think.
Jessie Meyer. "Coaching Milestone," Winona Daily News (April 1, 2002), Pages 1C-3C. Meyer, a news reporter, sums up the career of Winona State University's venerable baseball coach, Gary Grob, on the occasion of his 1,000th victory. Meyer's article leads a package of three articles and a statistics array that will satisfy even the most number-craving Winona State baseball fan.

Death certificate: Booze factor in Utica crashWINONA, Minn., April 8, 2002 -- Alcohol was a factor in a collision that killed four people in a car and injured several young people in a school bus after an ice-skating outing at Saint Mary's University, the death certificate for the driver of the car says. Donald E. Mercer, 63, died of multiple blunt traumas to the head and chest, the certificate says. According to vital records, alcohol intoxication and restricted blood flow to the heart were contributing factors to the accident. Police concluded earlier that Mercer ran a stop sign.

Landlords: Noise law now better, not goodLandlords have an alternative to the city's three-strike noise ordinance that can cost them their rental licenses. Landlords have proposed that owners of rental property be required to join the Minnesota Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. This would mean an eight-hour class on ways to make their apartments safer and more desirable places to live. Said landlord activist Baker: "Prevention is a solution."

| WINONA, Minn., April 8, 2002 -- A revision to the city's three-strike penalty against landlords for tenant noise violations is an improvement but still unconstitutional, according to a landlord Bill Baker. "You cannot have laws against one group of people," said Baker. Until recently the city went after landlords after three noise complaints, but, pressured by landlords, the City Council now has adopted a sliding-scale policy that cuts some slack for owners of bigger apartment buildings who are more vulnerable. Now Scott Abramson, one of the leaders in the new Winona landlord movement, is ready to go back to City Council to scrap the sliding scale. Noting that the Council backed off its original three-strike policy, Abramson said: "We may be back to tweak it again."

THE CHANGING FACULTY
WHO'LL BE TEACHING WHAT ? |
WSU phys-ed department losing two profsWINONA, Minn., April 8, 2002 -- The Winona State University phys-ed profs, Sue Ann Mullen and John Howe, are leaving after this spring semester, said department chair Lorene Olson. Mullen, a full-tenured prof, is retiring after 33 years. John Howe, assistant football coach, who taught halftime and coached halftime a semester, is moving away. Ads are running advertising nationally to find applicants, Olson said. Mullen's salary iss $69,200, and Winona State is advertising the position in the high $30,000s or low $40,000s. It's tyopical for the university to replace senior faculty with less expensive and less experienced people. Howe's salary was $45,500. The notice for his jobs says salary is negotiable . "The positions must be filled by fall," said Olson. "Other faculty members cannot pick up the work of two professors. The department's enrollment is high as it's ever been, she said.
