WSU Student Senate moves, revamps meetingsWINONA, Minn., Sept. 7, 2003 -- To make meetings more inviting, the Winona State Univerity Student Senate has moved meetings from the sterile Purple Rooms in Kryzsko Commons down the hall to the East Cafe. "It feels really stifling to walk in to a room that feels unwelcoming, said Robin Miller, Senate treasurer." There are trade-offs, including that there is no door to close to keep distractions away. Said President Michael Hofland: "We know that there will be people going by in the hallway. Is that good or bad? This was a question by many of our executive board members. Some think it is distracting but others say maybe people would stop and stay to listen. We are going to post quiet signs around the area to cut down on distractions." Tables will be in a semicircle instead of the old rectangular U. "The set up is much more welcoming," said Hofland. In the new arrangement, he said, senators and the gallery will have a better opportunity to see what is happening. One goal is to attract more interest, Hofland said. "People think that we are snooty," he said. "We're not perfect, but that is not who we are. I want people to feel more welcome. As the voice of the students we have to know what they want."

Rowdy at Fingall? Expect a penaltyWINONA, Minn., Sept. 6, 2003 -- Tenants at Fingall Hall face a bill if they get rowdy, said Candy Sheldon, manager of the privately owned Huff Street dorm. "I tell my tenants up front that if I get a $1,000 fine from the city, I'm going to turn right around and give it to the guilty party," she said. Even without a city noise violation, Sheldon levies penalties. If she personally encounters a problem, the tenant is fined $50. With a second incident it's $100, and Sheldon calls the parents. A third incident means eviction, with the tenant still responsible for rent through the end of the lease. Fingall tenants of legal age are allowed to drink in their rooms but not anywhere else, including in the hallways and outside. In addition, Sheldon has assistants on every floor to keep order. She has 150 tenants. During the first weeks of fall classes, Sheldon shows up at odd hours to keep everyone in check. Sheldon also leans on Marc Jaworski, who owns nearby PJ's Apartments, to keep an eye out when mischief is in the air.

PJ's owner expects new boozing peakWINONA, Minn., Sept. 5, 2003 -- The owner of PJ's Campus Apartments across Huff Street from Winona State University, Marc Jaworski, is bracing for a wicked year of student boozing and related problems. Jaworski said alcohol consumption has increased in Winona the last two years. Heavy partying goes in cycles, he said. Jaworski said he will keep an eye on his 44 tenants, especially the first 30 to 60 days of the fall semester. It is the time period when tenants discover what is tolerated and what isn't, he said: "During these first few weeks IÕll show up at all hours of the day and night just to set a pace." Also, he has installed a camera system. Most landlords agree that prime hours for trouble making are 2:30 to 4:30 a.m. Although PJ's leases state that excessive noise and drinking will not be tolerated, tenants are usually given one warning, Jaworski said. After that, they will be fined and possibly turned over to the authorities.

Buddhist: Countering "disturbing emotions"WINONA, Minn., Sept. 5, 2003 -- A practicing Diamond Way Buddhist, Hinrich Vollmer, told Winona State University students that they could "understand their own nature, their mind" through Buddhism and through enlightenment could attain fearlessness, joy and limitlessness. Vollmer, a student of Lama Ole Nydahl, touched on the history of Buddhism and the concept of Karma, the belief that people individually are responsible for creating their own destiny. Vollmer offered ways to deal with the "disturbing emotions" of anger, stupidity, jealousy, attachment and pride. The first option, he said, is avoidance, then is to react in the opposite way of which you feel, and finally, choose not to worry about the situation and do nothing.

Music pirates offered amnestyWASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2003 -- Anyone who has illegally downloaded music can claim amnesty if they promise never to do it again, the Recording Industry Association of America said in a turnabout in its crackdown on copyright-infringing piracy. Millions of college students will be eligible. For amnesty, music pirates will need to submit a notarized pledge that they will change their ways. The amnesty offer is a recognition of the impossibility of suing so many people. The RIAA said, however, it will continue suits that are in progress.

Ten applications, mostly from freshman, have been submitted, compared to four on the first day of classes last year. "It's never been like this before," said Miller. "It would be really cool if we ended up with 15 or 18 applicants." Why the increase? Miller said better publicity and growing enrollment are factors. Senate executive board members went to each freshman orientation class to drum up interest. Vacancies to be filled include six frosh and six at-large slots.

Colleges blamed for their fiscal plightWASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2003 -- A report from Republicans on the U.S. House Education Committee blames rising tuition on colleges that, says the report, aren't controlling their expenses. The report notes that 38 states either increased appropriations for higher education or froze spending last year, yet tuition rose at public four-year colleges in all 50 states. "The facts show tuition increases have persisted regardless of circumstances, such as the economy or state funding, and have far outpaced inflation year after year, regardless of whether the economy has been stumbling or thriving," the report said. Observers said the 20-page report sets a theme that Republicans believe will resonate well with voters and divert attention from claims by college administrators that state budget problems are triggering tuition increases. David Schnittger, a committee spokesperson, said the report is a "call attention to the problems parents and students are facing, and the need for greater accountability and transparency in college tuition hikes."
Rape hoax leads to $340 fineWINONA, Minn., Sept. 4, 2003 -- A Winona woman who reported being raped brutally at gun-point and knife-point last October was fined $340 in court for falsely reporting a crime.

Deadline looms for state financial aidST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 3, 2003 -- Unless they act quickly, Minnesota college students could lose state financial aid, the state college system said in a news alert. Linda Baer, senior vice chancellor, said the Legislature now requires students to have an application in the hands of the Federal Application Processing Center no later that 14 calendar days from the first day of the term. "Put into basic language," Baer said, "if you wait to apply for financial aid until the first week of class or later, you will not be eligible -- even if you show eligibility." In the past, students could apply through the end of an academic year, but the Legislature changed the schedule in an attempt to control costs. About $130 million in undergrad grants was awarded statewide last year.

Parking a big problem at new dormWINONA, Minn., Sept. 3, 2002 -- Clogged streets around the new East Lake dorm at Franklin and Sarnia demonstrate that Winona needs new off-street parking rules, City Council member Gerry Krage said. Winona State technically complied with zoning laws by building 211 parking spaces at the 350-tenant dorm, but, noted Krage, almost every student today owns a car, which has pushed the demand on on-street parking by 100-plus spaces. The current zoning requirement is "antiquated," Krage said.

WSU opens controversial child center| WINONA, Minn., Sept. 2, 2003 -- Despite doubts by Winona State University faculty experts, one of President Darrell Krueger's pet projects, the National Center for the Prosecution of Child Abuse, has opened for business on campus. Alum Victor Vieth, who campaigned for the center to be located at Winona State, has been named director, the university confirmed. When the proposal first surfaced last fall, some profs faulted the plan for an emphasis on the "antiquated" notion of "lock 'em up and throw away the key." There were doubts too about faith-based connections proposed by Vieth, then a Washington attorney. The Faculty Senate withheld its consent for the Vieth project, but, armed with a $994,000 U.S. Justice Department grant, the center is operating in the old Maxwell Library. The university calls the center a "partnership" with Vieth's organization. |

| Excerpted from a university statement:
"The Center's staff will work with WSU faculty, staff and students to develop the premier child protection curriculum in the nation.
"The Center will serve as a national training center for child protection atorneys, social workers, and other professionals who handle the civil side of criminal protection cases, in addition to serving as a national information resources for child protection professionals.
"The Center will also provide a wonderful opportunity for WSU's students. The child protection workers of the future now have access to some of the most respected child protection experts in the nation without leaving campus."

How can WSU afford mag ads?WINONA, Minn., Sept. 2, 2003 -- Winona State University's chief image-make, Tom Grier, defended the university's national magazine advertising campaign against mounting criticism. The ads are aimed at attracting highly motivated high school students to Winona State two or three years from now, Grier said. He called the Newsweek and U.S. News ads a bargain at $21,000 because they will reach about 300,000 people in Winona State's prime recruiting area. That's 7 cents a hit. Grier acknowledged the criticism that the university, overcapacity with about 7,800 students, doesn't need to be recruiting -- especially considering major budget cutbacks. The issue, Grier said, is not numbers but quality. Newsweek and U.S. News are education oriented, which makes them an especially valuable vehicle for reaching the kind of students Winona State wants into the future, he said. The ads are in the current Minnesota-Wisconsin issue of the magazines. Grier, whose title is university communications director, said he would have liked to buy space in editions going to Illinois and the Dakotas too, but his $150,000 budget wouldn't stretch that far.

COMMENT: A MODEST PROPOSAL
1 O'CLOCK PORTA-POTTIES
Instead of being out solving murders, the cops are prowling for college kids peeing in the rose bushes as they stagger home from the downtown bars. Yes, the arrest season has started anew. Disorderly conduct, they call it. But what are you supposed to do? Pee your pants?
The bars owe it to their patrons to install porta-potties at every street corner radiating south, west and east from the Third Street boozing strip.
As a condition for liquor license renewal, the City Council should require college bars each to have 17 porta-potties on premises and to move them to assigned corners a little before the 1 a.m closing time, when legions of bladder-full customers are ushered out. The bars should be required to move the potties back inside by 4 a.m. so as not to detract from the decorum of Winona's mercantile and residential neighborboods.
Everybody wins. Nobody gets arrested. Boozers are appreciative to the bars. A few more student jobs will be created for porta-potty transport. The roses can bloom in their urine-free glory. Cops can go back to solving murders.

Record industry builds piracy hit listWASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 2003 -- The Recording Industry Association of America will start filing lawsuits any day now against college students and thousands of others for pirating music online, an association spokesman said. So far, RIAA seems to be targeting students at Boston College, Boston Univerity, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola Marymount University, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of California at Los Angeles, and the University of Southern California. All have received subpoenas demanding that colleges reveal the names of students whose campus-network addresses have allegedly been used for file sharing in violation of copyright law. Technology permits the RIAA to trace file-sharing activity to individual network addresses, but the organization must obtain the names of people using those connections from the operators of the networks.

Housing vacancies galore in WinonaWINONA, Minn., Sept. 1, 2003 -- Unheard of in years, landlords still have For Rent banners hanging on their rental properies on the eve of fall classes at Winona State University. Landlords blame new competition from the university, which has opened the 360-student luxo East Lake dorm at Huff and Sarnia for juniors and seniors. Also, 120 new spaces are available at the Tau Center on the old College of St. Teresa campus. At the privately owned 150-unit Fingall dorm, across Huff Street from the main Winona State Campus, 22 apartments remain vacant, said manager Candy Sbeldon. Fingall usually is fully reserved by mid-April.
