In a Page One message in the diocesan newspaper, Harrington said that President Bush has not yet made a case for the pending war against Iraq. "What is truly clear is that -- at this time, at least -- this war cannot be morally justified." He cited a lack of evidence of a threat and "too many unanswered questions. The Winona peace movement has a nucleus in the Catholic community. Twenty St. Mary's University students demonstrated in Washington against in January. The university president, Brother Louis DeThomasis, contributed $500 to the trip.

WSU prof: Columbia payload possible factor| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 2, 2003 -- An unusually heavy payload may have contributed to the re-entry destruction of the space shuttle Columbia, according to a Winona State University prof who is a safety consultant to the space agency. The heavier the shuttle, the longer it takes to slow when coming into the atmosphere, Richard Jarvinen said in a Daioly News interview. Jarvinen deosn't know the Columbia's weight on its last mission, which ran 17 days, but the weight exceeded 236,000 pounds, the most any shuttle had ever carried, he said. The design landing-weight is 233,000 pounds. Jarvinen noted speculation that the shuttle was damaged 80 seconds into launch when a piece of foam or ice broke off the booster fuel tank. If so, he said, extra weight could have exacerbated the problem on re-entry. Also, the payload could have affected the shuttle's center of gravity, causing control problems, he said. The shuttle was tilting to the side at its maximum re-entry temperature, 3,000 degrees, when it broke up Saturday at 40 miles over east Texas. |

Charlie Weaver said the governor will try to be upbeat. The gloom-and-doom will come in the governor's budget message next week. It will be "plenty negative," Weaver said.

WSU expert: Bush boxing self into war |
|
| WINONA, Minn., Feb. 1, 2003 -- A Winona State University political scientist, Yogesh Grover, disagreeing with President Bush's jingoism towad Iraq, said the point has not been reached where war is necessary. "War only leaves a terribly destroyed country with no government." Grover is worried, though, that Bush has boxed himself into proceeding with a war, noting that media commentators have characterized the President's State of the Union address as an unofficial declaration of war. Grover said Bush's commitment seems calculated to force the global community to sign on against Iraq. Now, said Grover, he can't back out. He noted that the first President Bush retrained the temptation to invade Iraq in 1991: "Georges's father was a very smart man and did the wise thing by not going to war. We can only hope his son will be so wise."

A few empty seats in every classroom have attributed mostly to colds. "I didn't make it to my first class today because I wanted my cold medicine to kick in before I left," said Dan Johnson, a history senior. "It wasn't the cold temperatures that caused me to be a hour late," Explained Heather Dawson, a junior studying communication arts: "Even being this cold I still go to my classes because it seems like my professors are much stricter about not attending them this year."

Union leader: Wage freeze plan flawedST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 1, 2003 -- The executive director of the Council 6 state employee union, Peter Benner, said the Neuville Senate proposal to freeze wages is flawed because it excludes state employees as participants in helping the state through its budget crisis. "In the private sector, when a company runs into trouble, it sits down with its unions and they negotiate," Benner said. "The same should be the case with the public sector." Even with financial problems in the private sector, he said, the overwhelming majority of workers will get pay raises in 2003 and 2004 and 2005. National surveys indicate that companies intend to increase compensation by 3 or 4 percent in 2003, Benner said:Ê"We are not dealing with an economy that is going down the tubes." Wage freezes in the private sector are anomolies, he said. The Neuville bill, which would freeze state employee salaries through June 2005, would have eliminate "any ability of public employers and their unions to fashion a negotiated response," Benner said.
