| WINONA, Minn., Aug. 31, 2002 -- Despite weeks of warnings that foot cops would patrol the Winona State University neighborhood to discourage excessive partying when school started, hundreds of revelers either didn't get the message, chose to ignore it, or couldn't resist the temptations of the bottle. Police arrested 19 young people for underage consumption at house parties or on the street Friday night as they wandered and stumbled from party to party, many with plastic beer cups in hand.

WSU prof: War call lacks evidenceWINONA, Minn., Aug. 30, 2002 -- A Winona State University professor, Drake Hokanson, called for a protest against Bush Administration plans for invade Iraq and take out President Saddam Hussein. About protesting, Hokanson said: "Do it before it's too late." Hokanson cautioned against the proposed war, saying it would be proof-positive to Muslim militants of U.S. imperialism. The result, he said, would be "new rounds of terrorism." Hokanson called Hussein "an evil man" but said President Bush hasn't supported the call for war with evidence that Hussein is an imminent threat. Hokanson teaches journalism and photography.

SMU promises campus booze crackdownWINONA, Minn., Aug. 29, 2002 -- St. Mary's will uniformly enforce a new dorm alcohol and drug policy, the university's dean of students, Judy Thornton, said.

Last year the cops raided a bonfire wingding on the private campus. Security guards have been hired for some sanctioned events. Thornton did not detail extent of the problem but acknowledged that enforcement of earlier policies in the dorms has been uneven.

WSU toys with new dorm, parking planWINONA, Minn., Aug. 28, 2002 -- A 300-bed dorm on Winona State's southeast side has been recommended by consultants, university Vice President Cal Winbush said. The recommendation came from Paulien & Associates of Denver, which specializes in campus planning, and will be presented to the Faculty Senate as a revision to the master plan for the campus, Winbush said. The project is not to the architectural stage and no drawings have been made, but the plan is for a parking ramp for as many as 250 cars adjoining a four-story dorm. The first floor would have commercial spaces, perhaps for a coffeeshop and other businesses. The plan, which Winbush characterized as "very tentative at this point," would eliminate about 75 existing parking places during construction. The working name for the project is Gateway Center because of its proximity to the proposed Mark Street grand entrance to the campus off Main Street.
