WSU tuition plan: 15%WINONA, Minn., May 31, 2003 -- With a $4.9 million loss of state funds, Winona State University President Darrell Krueger says he now can firm up budget planning for the coming year. Krueger's plan: A 15 percent tuition hike, to $4,016 for a typical student. His proposal nows goes to the MnSCU state college board, which has all its campuses' tuition proposals on its July agenda. Approval is expected. Earlier, before the Legislature approved its final higher-ed funding bill, Krueger had pegged the tuition increase at slightly less -- 14.3 percent. Even at 15 percent, the university will be operating on a tighter budget, Krueger said.

Tech remodeling funds still possibleST. PAUL, Minn., May 26, 2003 -- After suffering major setbacks for their operating budgets, higher-ed people were hopeful that the Legislature would authorize funds for construction projects on campuses throughout the state. Still alive in the Legislature is a bill to borrow $189 million in long-term bonds, with $59.7 earmarked for the MnSCU system of state universities, community colleges and vocational schools. Seventeen projects on the MnSCU list include $525,000 to remodel the student services building at Southeast Tech in Winona. The biggest MnSCU project is a $10 million renovation of Centennial business and student activities building at St. Cloud State University.

COMMENT: WSU ATHLETICS
ZERO TOLERANCE
ASKING TOO MUCH?
The cops caught Caleb Turbett boozing more than a year shy of his 21st birthday. That might not seem like news in a hard-drinking college town, which has hundreds of underage consumption arrests every year. But Turbett is different. He's a varsity athlete.
Whatever happened to athletes as role models?
Winona State coaches have slid into high tolerance for athletes who flaunt the legal drinking age. Worst are some high-visbility football players, many of whom are subsumed in a booze culture. But now this unacceptable tolerance has reached the genteel sport of golf.
We expect more of athletes. Also, we expect more of coaches than their nudge, wink, chuckle, chuckle aren't-they-cute, kids-will-be-kids tolerance.
Turbett should be suspended from varsity athletics for at least a year and then allowed back only if it's clear he is mature enough to accept the responsibility of representing the best of the university as a varsity athlete.
Under-21 football players should be next. |

Governor, solons zap higher-edST. PAUL, Minn., May 26, 2003 -- In an almost done-deal, the state's universities and colleges will take a near $380 million bugdet cut over the next two years. Legislative leaders and Gov.Tim Pawlenty announced agreement on reducing the budgets of the University of Minnesota and the MnSCU system as part of a no-new-taxes state budget. Each system will lose about $190 billion, which will trigger tuition increases generally of 15 percent to offset some of the loss. University leaders, bracing the or the worst, have contingency plans ready for cutbacks on individual campuses.

| WINONA, Minn., June 9, 2003 -- A Winona State football player, Andrew John Nett, 23, paid a $140 fine in Winona County District Court for a noisy party at which Nett, drunk and angry, refused to turn down the music. Feeling threatened, a police officer pulled out a taser to defuse the junior quarterback. Police had been called around 3 a.m., March 25, to 368 Johnson St., a notorious party place. At Nett's apartment, police attemped to disperse the revelvers and arrested Nett's friend, Daniel Richard Jokala, 25, for refusing to leave. In documents filed with the court, police gave this account: They asked Nett to turn down the music. Jokala intervened: "Andrew had a rough night so take it easy on him," referring to a fight at downtown bar. The cops asked Nett if he wanted to report the fight, and Nett said no. The police then asked Nett to turn down the music a second time. "I'm not going to turn down the fucking music," said Nett. After Nett's anger grew, Jokala stepped between Nett and the officer to cool Nett's rage toward the officer. Nett then shoved Jokala into the officer. The officer, feeling threatened on unfamiliar territory, pulled out a taser. Nett, 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, then began to cry and ran to his bedroom, telling Jokala where to find his ID to give to the officer. Only 52 days earlier, Nett was ticketed for another loud party. Netts and fellow tenant Justin Andrew Redetzre were ticketed after police were called due to music coming from the open door of the downstairs apartment. The noise, police said, could be heard 50 feet away. At Winona State, Nett is an education major in training to be a school teacher.

| WINONA, Minn., May 24, 2003 -- A Winona State University varsity football player, Alan Hartung, 22, paid a $90 disorderly-conduct fine for urinating at a bus stop on Third and Center streets, in the downtown bar district, around 12:20 a.m., Saturday, May 11. A friend was also ticketed for urinating with him, according to police documents filed with Winona District Court. It was not Hartung's first appearance in court records. Nine months before the urination incident, Hartung, then 21, was ticketed for public consumption outside 123 W. Eighth St. after police told the residents of the house to disperse the party-goers. Hartung and about 10 others stood outside on the sidewalk, waiting for the police to leave, obviously planning to go back in, police said. After police repeatedly told the group to leave, Hartung was given a public consumption ticket because of the one-quarter full can of Milwaukee's Best Light he was holding, police said. In an previous run-in with the cops, in April 2000, Hartung was stopped on Wilson Street, just south of Sixth Avenue, for going 11 miles over the speed limit back, records show. Hartung came to WInonas State from the Menomonie, Wis., high school. At Menominee he was an all-state player. Three times he was an all-conference choice and twice an All-Northwest Region choice. At Winona State he is a statistics major.

Legislature OKs higher-ed bill barelyST. PAUL, Minn., May 19, 2003 -- The legislative session ended at midnight with a meltdown of the process that, because most major budget bills did not pass, will trigger a special session. The higher-ed bill, however, was approved 35-31 in the Senate only seconds the clock hit 12 -- the mandatory end of the session. Approval in the House could not have been narrower, with only 69 votes, one more than necessary. State college faculty lobbyist Russ Stanton said the House vote was evidence of deep doubts about major cuts. Stanton called the vote "a poor showing" of support considering that Republicans who championed cuts hold 81 seats. Only House member from area area with a four-year state college, Rep. Marty Seifert of Marshall, voted for the bill. Those against included Rep. Gene Pelowski, D-Winona. Several majority members and all of the minority members of the House higher-ed committee voted against the bill. "There is deep discouragement among legislative supporters of higher education that the cuts to higher education were so large," Stanton said. In the Senate, only three Democrats voted for the bill. "They only did so because they made a deal with the governor to supply enough votes to pass the bill," Stanton said.

Report: Construction funding possibleST. PAUL, Minn., May 19, 2003 -- Apparently Republicans and Democrats in the Legislature have agreed to borrow $175 million for state construction projects, according to lobbyist Russ Stanton, who represents college faculty. "It will most likely be the projects vetoed by Jesse Ventura at the end of the last session," Stanton said. That could mean several campus projects, including remodeling at Southeast Tech in Winona, may be funded.
