Senate kills Tech remodeling projectST. PAUL Minn., April 24, 2003 -- Legislation designed to help jump-start Minnesota's stalled economy with $417 million in construction projects failed in the Minnesota Senate. In the bill was $580,l000 to remodel the student services area at Southeast Tech in Winona. The Senate's Democratic majority put together a 35-31 vote for the projects, but because the projects would hae been funded with borrowed money, 41 votes were needed -- and the Senate Republicans wouldn't go along.

COMMENT: RAPE
STOP THE HYSTERIA
Rape is awful. But, please, don't make rape worse than it is by raping the statistics.
Take the claim, again coming out of the Women's Resource Center, that one in four college women is a sexual assault victim. That's a shocking figure, sure to get attention. It's also bogus -- or at least unsubstantiated and grossly overstated.
The next time you hear a rape statistic that doesn't square with your experience, press the source:"Do you really mean one in four WSU women get raped every year?" The honest answer: No.
"During their college career?" The honest answer: Not exactly.
"Then, what do you mean?" The honest answer: During her lifetime.
"Uhm, actuarial data tell us that college-age women will live into their 90s. So what you're telling me is that between now and the year 2070 or so, one in four women who have been to college will be raped?" The honest answer: Yes, but not necessarily raped. Rather sexually assaulted.
"Sexually assaulted? Does that include offenses that fall way short of 'rape,' like, say, unwanted groping?" The honest answer: Yes.
"Where does this one-in-four number come from anyway? Can you give me a bibliographic citation to the study the generated the number?" The honest answer: The number is a loose extrapolation with a lot of guess work. Although well-intended, the exuberance blossoming during Sexual Awareness Month can leave us believing the world is a far more dangerous place and men a far more dangerous component of the species than the facts warrant. No matter how worthy the cause, stirring awareness can slide into stirring hysteria -- a gross disservice to the truth. |

Krueger witnesses vote against tuition hikeWINONA, Minn., April 24, 2003 -- The Student Senate vote against a Winona State tuition hike Wednesday came despite renewed arguments for the increase from university President Darrell Kreuger and key members of his administrative team. Academic Vice President Steve Richardson, co-chair of the 14-member Budget Task Force, which was created to discuss the budget issues affecting the university, said: "We have tried to protect academics from cuts for the last 10 years. We can no longer do that." Richardson was not alone in noting that the quality of the university was at stake. Krueger himself told the senators that they should leave the university better than they found it. Student Senate President Tony Romaine, who supported Krueger's proposed 14.3 percent tuition increase, made the quality argument, saying Winona State in the 1970s was a school of last resort. "People now want to come here," Romaine said. One senator, Ezra Kazee, countered that voting against the increase would send a message: "We need to send a message to the Legislature that we can't take any more tuition increases." David Bratt, faculty president and also a Budget Task Force member, argued for the tution hike. Answering calls for Krueger to tighten spending. Bratt said the university has "no fat anywhere."

Pink "rape flags" flutter briefly at WSUWINONA, Minn., April 23, 2003 -- The 1,119 pink flags posted in a field at Winona State University as part of Sexual Awareness Month weren't up long. Senior Nikki Gruis, of the sponsoring club, FORGE, said the tiny flags outside Kryzsko student center were taken down to prevent vandalism and theft, which occurred in previous years, and to preserve the flags for another year. The flags fluttered from April 15 until April 18, representing the number of women at Winona State who will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime, said Gruis. "We were able to raise more awareness about an issue that so commonly gets dismissed," Gruis said. "It is a way of saying that we're not going to remain silent about this any longer." How did FORGE come up with 1,119? The American Medical Association claims that one in four women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime, said Gruis. FORGE then divided the number of female students at Winona State, 4,476, by four.

There was on abstention. The vote was a setback for Krueger, who has received perennial Senate support for increases over the past 11 years.

Walski going full-time as WSU top copWINONA, Minn., April 23, 2003 -- The part-time security chief at Winona State University, Don Walski, will be going full time this summer. Walski confirmed his decision when asked what he plans to do when he retires July 4 from his day job as a Winona deputy police chief. "I like Winona State so much, and working with the students is great," Walski said of going full-time. Walski has been handling campus security half-time, working mostly at night and supervising 40 student security guards. His part-time university salary is about $30,000. Walski doesn't just work for Winona State -- he is an alum. He holds a 1992 degree is social sciences, Also, he is working on a master's degree in public safety and executive leadership from St. Cloud State. At Winona State, he said, security has grown into more than a part-time responsibility as enrollment has grown. The job has been 20 hours a week, but he said he usually put in more if needed: "I always work until the job got done." With the university's ongoing growth, Walski is responsible for the security of more than 9,000 students and employees.

Senate rejects cap on tuition hikesST. PAUL, Minn., April 23, 2003 -- The Minnesota Senate defeated a proposal to cap college tuition increases at 9 percent. The cap was proposed by Sen. Dave Kleis, R-St. Cloud, to protect students against tuition increases that he said could be in the 20 to 30 percent range in coming years. Opponents argued, however, that college administrators need flexibility to accommodate cuts in state higher-ed support. Meawnhile, Gov. Tim Pawlenty is sticking with his 15 percent cap at MnSCU colleges including Winona State. The University of Minnesota system is constitutionally exempt from such caps, but Pawlenty is pressuring university trustees to accepting a 15 percent limit.
Background: Senate: No tuition deal for rioters |
|
| | At Winona State, President Darrell Krueger has proposed a 14.3 percent tuition increase -- just short of Gov. Tim Pawlenty's call for a 15 percent limit. Administrators at other MnSCU colleges are also creating budgets with tuition increases in the 15 percent range. |

WSU prof writes Spanish music anthology| WINONA, Minn., April 23, 2003 -- A Winona State University music prof, Suzanne Draayer, wrote an anthology of 19th century Spanish songs, "Cancones de Espana," which is being published by Scarecrow Press. A CD that Draayer recorded at Minnesota Public Radio's Studio M accompanies the book. Draayer began researching the vocal repertoire in 1999. "The songs have been languishing in the archives of three Madrid libraries, the British Library and three libraries in Barcelona, some since 1845," Draayer said. "None have been heard in more than 75 years and some have been out of print since 1875." Noting the growing number of students studying Spanish and the large population of Hispanics in the United States, the anthologies provide singers with a new repertoire and the opportunity to study and enjoy the poets and composers of this era, Draayer said. The anthology includes a pronunciation guide to Castilian Spanish, brief biographies of the composers, word-for-word translations, International Phonetic Alphabet transcription, and idiomatic translations. |

New eatery offers Mediterranean menuWINONA, Minn., April 22, 2003 -- Winona might get a taste of its first Mediterranean restaurant by mid-May. James Bennaceur, owner of the Mediterranean Garden in Eau Claire, Wis., signed a lease with the Winona Mall for the space that was once occupied by short-lived Victoria's Italian restaurant. Menu specialties will include hummus, roasted eggplant dip; and falafel, plus burgers and fries, said Bennaceur. He described the restautrant as "full service." Sondra Morgan, mall manager, expects an easy transition to the Mediterranean restaurant Much of Victoria's decor will remain, Morgan said. When the new restaurant opens, it will be the third in three years to occupy this same location in the mall.

Student grants survive in SenateST. PAUL, Minn., April 23, 2003 -- The Senate higher-ed funding bill includes money to keep the state grant program for college students at current levels for the next years. Individual students, however, will average smaller checks because of the growing number of eligible students. The higher-ed funding package, approved 34-31 by the Senate, still faces review by a joint House-Senate committee before going to Gov. Tim Pawlenty, whose approval is required. Phil Lowenstein at state Higher Education Services Office, which administers student grants, said that keeping overall granrt funding at current levels is actually a step backward considering the certainty of major tuition increases. The effect will be especially hard on students from lower-income and middle-income backgrounds.

WSU nurse: Campus SARS risk lowWINONA, Minn., April 23, 2003 -- The chief nurse at Winona State University, Diane Palm, sees no iminent threat of severe acute respiratory syndrome, commonly called SARS, on campus. "A student would either have to have recently traveled to Asia or have been in close contact with somebody who was infected," Palm said. She noted that only six reported cases in Minnesota, Rochester being the closest. SARS has originated in Asia. At present, she has no special concern about students from Asia but is recommending precautions if they travel home for the summer. "IÕm sure though that they will all be told if they develop any kind of breathing problems to go and get tested immediately," she said. "Hopefully by next fall we will have a cure."

State Senate: Cut college spending 8%VOTING
RECORD
Sen. Bob Kierlin, R-Winona, voted against the higher-ed funding bill. |
|
|
| ST. PAUL, Minn., April 23, 2003 -- The Minnesota Senate approved a $2.7 billion higher-ed funding package for the next two years. The bill exceeds the recommendations of Gov. Tim Pawlenty by $150 million. Even so, the Senate bill cuts the budgets of the University of Minnesota and the MnSCU systems by 8 percent. The Senate bill is $100 million more than a higher-ed bill wending its way through the House. The Senate approval was on a 34-31 party-line vote. Every Republican voted against the package, consistent with their continuing pressure to cut college support further.

Higher-ed funding bills near final formST. PAUL, Minn., April 22, 2003 -- The Senate Higher-Ed Committee recommended $2.7 billion for the state's public universities and colleges over the next two years, a $210 million cut from the base going into the biennium, but about $158 million more than proposed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty. For MnSCU system, of which Winona State is part, the bill appropriates $1.19 billion, a $106 million cut from base, but $98 million more than the governor proposed. The Senate Bill left student financial aid at the same level as the base going into the biennium. The Senate did not follow the governor's proposal to cut the institutional aid to MnSCU and the separate University of Minnesota system by $60 million and use it to improve state grants, which are divided about evenly between public-college and private-college students. Under the Senate plan, any shortfall in the grant program will have to be made up by pro-rating the grant -- not cutting child care and work-study money as was done this year.

Many senators remain undecided, but, like Sara Manz, are leaning against the Kueger plan. "It's a huge increase," Manz said. "Krueger needs to look at some other suggestions for cuts." Krueger has asked for Senate support, and the Senate is scheduled to vote Wednesday on the request. In the past, year after year, the Senate has endorsed Krueger tuition hikes.

Advice for PR grads: Be ready to travelWINONA, Minn., April 21, 2003 -- As public relations prof John Weis tells it, Winona State University public relations grads this spring will have no problem finding a job -- if they're willing to go to Albuquerque." Staying close to home and finding a job can be a problem, Weis said: "If these people think they are going find a job in their hometown, they're wrong." His point: Go where the jobs are. Weis encourages grads to be selective: "Students grab jobs like it's the lottery. They'll just take the first thing thrown their way."He cautioned especially against jobs in customer service that are "not even PR." Weis noted that many grads today have spent more than four years in college, which he said isn't altogether bad. "It is important to select an option and find the field where you're most comfortable," he said, noting that a comfort quotient is an important bonus. If it takes students a little bit longer for them to earn their degree, that extra time just might be the key role as to finding the right job after graduation, he said.

More companies are hiring people with positive personalities to build a successful marketing team for selling their product, Nowosielski said. He called the job outlook for art grads "welcoming, considering the economy." Catalogs, magazines and web design are all opportunities for grads, he said, noting that now is a good time to get into design. "Students don't realize that employers are always looking for fresh ideas, spirit and energy," he said. Ad agencies have branches that hire students with basic knowledge of design programs, Nowosielski said: "The job market is not as centralized as it was in the past, and students need to realize that their backyard has gotten bigger."
