Green's Pentel: Nobody's growing fasterWINONA, Minn., Oct. 31, 2002 -- The Minnesota governorŐs race this yearis a celebration of the new emerging Green Party, candidate Ken Pentel told a Winona State University audience of about 30 people. The Green Party was the only political party to increase in size last year, he said.. Pentel stressed how greatly the Green Party had grown since Ralph Nade's 1966 bid for President. "The Green Party is starting to grow, and starting to win," said Pentel. There is a chance to make a difference, said Pentel, encouraging people to go and vote on Nov. 5,. This year the Green Party had 67 candidates on the primary ballot and more than 40 candidates on the general election ballot in Minnesota, he said. His hands clenched on the lecturn, Pentel called for improved health care: If some of the poorest nations can figure out how to provide health care for everyone, then the richest nation in history should be able to figure it out, he said. "Basic coverage from the cradle to the grave is what is needed," Pentel said. Doctors, hospitals, and drug fees all need to be controlled, said Pentel in response to a question from the audience.

WSU posts extra guards for HalloweenWINONA, Minn., Oct. 31, 2002 -- Two extra security guards will be roving campus for Halloween, Winona State University's security chief, Don Walski, has decided. Normally there are four rovers, as well as dispatchers, said Walski: "This year we will have six." All Halloween events will go on as normal, according to dorms director Mike Porritt. The dorms have invited children to trick-or-treat from 4 to 8 p.m. Asked about plans to change the trick-or-treating because of a sexual assault in the Sheehan dorm last year, Porritt said: "I don't know what assault you are talking about." Teenage trick-or-treaters chased one Sheehan tenant up and down floors and one youth trapped the woman in an elevator and grabbed and fondled her and simulated humping. There were arrests. Vandalism last year included students urinating on private property, noisy partying, and toilet-papering cars and houses. Police Chief Frank Pomeroy said he again has assigned extra patrols: "It's a crazy night, and we want to be as prepared as possible."

| 'Tis eve of alternate-side parking seasonWINONA, Minn., Oct. 31, 2002 -- Police and tow-truck drivers are gearing up for 1 a.m. when five months of alternate-side parking begin. Cars parked on the wrong side of the street are subject to ticketing and towing. From Nov. 1 to April 1, you can park from 1 to 6:30 a.m. only on the odd-numbered side of the street on odd-numbered days. It's the other side the next night. There are no snow plows out yet, of course, but the cops want to get you trained early. Getting ticketed is the least of the hassles -- a $25 fine. If you're towed, the charge is $80 or so to retrieve your car. |

| LAMENT
FOR WELLSTONE
David Waibel
In year 1990, Paul Wellstone took a stand
and ran for United States Senate
Against ReganŐs lance, we thought he stood little chance
but then he surprised us and won it.
Chorus
For old Minnesota he gave us all he had
and still more than that to our country
A great shining statesman, and good friend to us all
Forever will we miss your company.
A husband, a father, and loving granddad too
a well-rounded college professor
A strong man who knew he could make a difference too
That difference will be felt forever.
Chorus
For twelve years against corporate power did he fight
and also against World War Three.
He kept people warm, working, healthy, happy, free.
He proudly worked for you and me.
Chorus
But then on a sad day in late 2002
The family Wellstone was broken
Their plane fell from flight, into woodland, burning bright
And so passed the great Minnesotan.
The news saddened people throughout the USA
and also the United Nations.
His opponents, stung, said Paul Wellstone was among
the finest men in our great nation. |

WSU expert: Absentee ballots possible issueWINONA, Minn., Oct. 31, 2002 -- With the election less than a week away, absentee ballots may be a key in the Minnesota U.S. Senate race in the wake of Sen. Paul Wellstone's death, said Winona State University polysci prof. Although Wellstone's name is on absentee ballots, Matthew Bosworth said, he cannot be a candidate from the grave. It's possible, Bosworth said, for the state to rule that any ballots listing Wellstone are out, but that, in effect, would disenfranchise absentee voters who didn't have a choice listed for Wellstone's replacement of the ballot, former Vice President Walter Mondale, who was chosen Wednesday evening -- long after absentee ballots were printed and mailed.

Author: Let's end economic subjugationLA CROSSE, Wis., Oct. 30, 2002 -- Best-selling author Barbara Ehrenreich urged more than 200 people to reclaim workplace rights from corporate America. Ehrenreich, author of the book "Nickel and Dimed: on (Not) Getting By in America," said it's time to reform the polarized economic state of America. Her recommendations included making it easier for workers to join unions that would protect them from unwarranted firing and leverage to gain
a "living wage." To gather material for "Nickel and Dimed," Ehrenreich worked as a waitress in Florida, a cleaning woman and nursing home assistant in Maine, and as a Wal-Mart clerk in Minnesota. In her speech, she called for affordable housing, federal health care, and subsidized childcare.

Poet: My truth transcends accuracyWINONA, Minn., Oct. 30, 2002 -- Poet and novelist David Dodd Lee told a Winona State University audience that poteic truth is a special sort. "The poet's job isn't to report accurately," Lee said. "It's to tell a truth that is emotional." To an audience of about 30, Lee read from poems, which he called "hallucinatory snapshots." Lee said. He said his life is centered in the arts and letters. To support himself he has a freelance poetry editing business. "I just knew I wanted to be an artist. It exists outside of trying to support yourself," Lee said.

Views differ on Moe, Penny debate cancelationsWINONA, Minn., Oct. 30, 2002 -- One cancelled debate in the Minnesota gubernatorial contest will not have an effect on the voters, said a Winona State University political scientist. "The public does not pay a lot of attention to debates, especially if there are a high number of them," said prof Matthew Bosworth. Democrat Roger Moe and Independence candidate Tim Penny dropped out of a televised debate that was scheduled for Oct. 27. Bosworth's assessment about minimal impact is not shared by Christopher Childs, media coordinator for candidate Ken Pentel, who said a televised debate can have a tremendous impact. "The many debates and forums that have been held have helped to shape the base of support for each candidate," said Child. Bosworth cautioned against reading too much significance into Moe and Penny's cancelation, noting that it's common for candidates to drop out of a couple of debates, especially if there are a high number of them. Voters should get suspicious, however, if a candiate cancels a lot of debates, he said.

No special WSU security planned for HalloweenWINONA, Minn., Oct. 28, 2002 -- No additional security staff is planned on Halloween night at Wnona State despite a sexual assault that occured in Sheehan dorm last year, said university security chief Don Walski. Why not? Walski said he "feels no need for extra security." Last Halloween a freshman female was assaulted in a Sheehan elevator by a 14-year-old trick-or-treater dressed in a gorilla costume and his friends. The boy grabbed the woman from behind, fondled her breasts and simulated sex. The incident occurred at a little before 8 p.m. Other acts of campus vandalism were reported too. Said new frosh Kelly Keense, who lives in a dorm: "I think I would feel a lot safer if there were extra security on campus on Halloween. I wasn't aware of the assault, but I can imagine that there are a lot of drunk kids out on Halloween."

WSU prof: Third parties good for MinnesotaWINONA, Minn., Oct. 28, 2002 -- Multiple political parties will survive in Minnesota even if the Independence Party does not win the governorŐs race on Nov. 5, said a Winona State University political science prof. Minnesota voters are open to new views, problems and solutions, said Frederick Lee. A multi-party system is good for the state, said Lee, because it allows for greater representation of the people, minor parties and groups: "The more that smaller groups and parties are represented in politics, the more that people feel that their issues and concerns are being heard, the more people are going to vote." Can third-party candidates win? Charismatic candidates help, said Lee, pointing to current Independence Party Gov. Jesse Ventura. "I donŐt think that Ventura really thought that he was going to win," said Lee, Ňbut the other candidates really lacked in what Ventura had -- character and a loud voice." Also, he said, third parties need to carve out issues that the other parties are not addressing, but must be careful to not let the two major parties come in, steal the limelight and take away votes, said Lee. Third-party candidates do best when the competition is dull, Lee said. Also, a crisis that neither of the two major parties can handle helps third parties. "This does not happen often," said Lee. "Usually one or both of the major parties can handle a crisis if one arises," said Lee.

Hollywood cracks down on movie downloadsLOS ANGELES, Oct. 28, 2002 -- Hollywood studios have hired MediaForce, a New York-based web traffic monitoring company, to identify movies being downloaded by students through university servers. MediaForce then files a copyright complaint with the university. A random check by the Chronicle of Higher Education found the most complaints, 74, at the University of Maryland. The MediaForce form letter includes a cease-and-desist demand. Several universities have followed up on the letters by tracking down individual offenders and setting up campus judicial proceedings on the copyright infractions.
WSU's Mr. GOP to Costello: Be "dead honest"WINONA, Minn., Oct. 28, 2002 -- The longtime faculty adviser to the Young Republican club at Winona State University, English prof Paul Grawe, said there are more important issues to worry about in the current campaign than GOP legislative candidate Justin Costello's run-ins with the law. Grawe, who has a Costello sign in his yard, said, "Underage drinking is a laugh to most of the voters" He acknowledged, though, that a police report labeling Costello being a "nuisance" during a bust on a booze party in August is more of a concern. "We canŐt have the people making the laws, violate them left to right," Grawe said. Even so, he called Costello, a 22-year-old college senior, is personable and knowledgeable about the issues. "But," he added, "I am not confident he will win." Grawe said he has encouraged CostelloŐs candidacy, expressing concern that about the Democratic incumbent, Gene Pelowski: "Gene couldnŐt get anything from his own caucuses. Winona has invested a great deal in GeneŐs career and not gotten anything from it." As for Costello, Grawe advises him to be "dead honest" about the facts of his run-ins with the law in order to regain voter confidence.
