WSU student's death was suicide

JOSEF COX 1982-2003 Cox was graduated from high school in Sparta, Wis., and lived in Wabasha, Minn., before moving to Winona for college.

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12, 2003 -- The death of Winona State University junior Josef Cox, a suicide, shocked his friends. Rochelle Shursen said she had talked to Cox a few days before he died and he seemed himself. "It was a total and complete shock," Shursen said. Cox's landlord found him dead on Aug. 4. Apparently he had died a week or so earlier. Joe, as his friends knew him, worked full time at Pizza Hut on Huff Street. He had been promoted to manager two months earlier. He worked hard and waited a long time for the promotion, according to coworker Jason Squires. "He had ambition," Squires said. Friends said, however, that he was deep in debt and had lost his job two days prior to the suicide. When not at Pizza Hut, he spent his time hanging out with friends, skateboarding and working on his car, friends said. The death shocked chemistry prof Bob Kopitzke. "He was a nice guy but struggled in school," Koptzke said. "Obviously something was going on." Kopitzke said Cox occasionally missed labs because of medical problems that required him to commute to Rochester, Minn., although he never specified what the problems were. At work, Squire said that that Cox sometimes seemed unhappy but usually exhibited a good attitude: "He was always joking around with people."

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12, 2003 -- A retired Winona State Universuty librarian, Richard Hastings, remembers Ed Jacobsen not only as his boss but also as a friend. Ed Jacobsen, the retired library dean, who died last month, was "a very fine fellow that was absolutely liked by everyone," Hastings said. They worked together 15 years. "He was very easy to work for," Hastings said. "I was always treated as an equal." Hastings still can visualize Jacobsen driving around campus on a little red scooter. "He was the first one to have one," Hasting said, noting that Jacobsen liked innovation and in 1977 began work on a computerized card catalog system for the library. Hastings called Jacbsen "just a right fit for this campus." Reporter: Kelly Demeter Background: Retired library dean dies

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12, 2003 -- Concerned about theft or vandalism, sociology prof Brian Aldrich remembers suggesting to library Dean Ed Jacobsen that some old and rare books in the Winona State University collection be locked up -- not an uncommon practice at libraries. But, no, said Jacobsen. "The books wouldn't be any good to the students if they were put away," as Aldrich recalls their conversation. That was years ago, when Aldrich was new to the faculty and Jacobsen was winding down he career. He died last month in retirment. Aldrich remembers Jacobsen as getting along with everyone, a quiet yet outgoing man: "I always saw him when he was getting his morning cup of coffee."

Friends yes but lobster no

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 11, 2003 -- Ed Jacobsen didn't like lobster, but that hardly got in the way of friendship. There was the time that he and his wife decided on a whim to fly to Maine to join their vacationing friends from the Winona State University, Hugh and Virginia Capron. "Ed hated lobster, and that's what we ate every day," said Virginia. "He said he loved to just sit there and watch us all eat the lobster." That was among many tales that the Caprons told in an interview prompted by the death last month of Ed Jacobsen, the long-time Winona State University library dean. Hugh Capron said that he was away on sabbatical when Jacobsen and his wife, Marge, arrived at Winona State, but the couples quickly became friends the next year. "They were fun to be with," said Virgina. Ed would go along with anything -- even those lobster dinners, she said. Hugh Capron called Jacobsen a curious man with a good sense of humor: "He could have been a clown under the right circumstances." Reporter: Sara Ryan Background: Retired library dean dies

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 11, 2003 -- Award-winning journalist John Hockenberry will assess media coverage of disabilities in a Winona State address in the university's Lyceum arts and speaker series. His talk, "The Media's Spin on Disability," will detail why disability culture has become a hot campus subject. Hockenberry said hopes to change the notion, promulgated by the media, that people with disabilities are dependent, unfortunate and less capable. Hockenberry is with the NBC program "Dateline." The complete Lyceum schedule:

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 11, 2003 -- Retired biology prof Joe Emanuel remembers his buddy Ed Jacobsen, "Jake" they called him, not only from their work at Winona State University but also from their post-World War II work with the Army Reserve's 419th Civil Affairs Company. "We both came from similar backgrounds, Emanuel said, in recalling Jacobsen, the chief librarian at Winona State until he retired in 1984. He died over the summer. "We had history of combat duty in Germany," Emanuel said. The two helped set up the 419th in 1953 and participated in summer training together. On campus their paths often crossed. "There were times we would get together with our wives and visit," Emanuel said. At Winona State, Jacobsen supervised the first addition to Maxwell Hall, which housed the library. Emanuel called Jacobsen a "bright and intelligent man." He had a wide interest in the affairs of the world, Emanuel said. "I don't know if I knew anyone as well read," he said. Jacobsen was a fair and good person to work for and quickly became a popular campus staff member, Emanuel said. Outside of work Jacobsen enjoyed modern music and playing the drums. Also, said Emanuel, wood-working was one of Jacobsen's hobbies. Reporter: Becky Durbin Background: Retired library dean dies

WSU dorm thief skips court date

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 11, 2003 -- Sentencing for a former Winona State University student, Brandon Page, 21, has been delayed to Sept. 30 after he failed to make Aug. 25 court date for thefts at the Lourdes dorm last winter. Since skipping the court date, Page, who had been free on $20,000 bond, has been arrested and now is sitting in jail. He also had failed to show for a pre-sentencing investigation in another case. Page pleaded guilty in July to burglary. It was a plea-bargain deal that reduced his maximum possible sentence to five years and $10,000. In the Lourdes break-ins, more than 90 DVDs and Play Station games were stolen from unlocked rooms. Page, meanwhile, is also charged with stealing more than $400 from Volkmann Appliance, where he worked. Page told police he was unsure how much he took because he quickly pawned the items to buy drugs, court records show. At the time Page was on Effexor, a prescription antidepressant, the records show. After heing busted at Winona State, he checked into a substance-abuse treatment facility in La Crosse, Wis., and then moved into Amethyst House in Winona.

Prez: We need to reinvent WSU

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 11, 2003 -- University President Darrell Krueger urgently called on the Student Senate for help in building a new Winona State. An elaborate series of committes, including students, will explore ways to build excellence in a period of dwindling resources, Krueger said. Noting that higher-ed support from federal and state sources has probably peaked and that tuition cannot possibly offset the losses, he said: "It is up to us to enhance the environment we work in." He said a core commitee is creating study groups that beginning Sept. 30 will chart the insitution's course. The study groups: Program excellence and quality. Services and student support. Business and community partnership development. Philanthropy. The groups will include deans, faculty, students, and representaives of other major campus constituenceis. Said Krueger: "We need to seize this opportunity and make an impact on this university and its future." Reporter: Anne Lusic

Getting a young scholar into Thoreau's papers

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 10, 2003 -- Years ago, when English prof Dave Robinson was poring through Henry David Thoreau's original works in a Harvard University special collection, he had the library dean at Winona State University to thank. It was the dean, Ed Jacobsen, who sent several requests to Harvard to grant Robinson access to the Thoreau papers for a sabbatical project. For years Robinson had admired Thoreau, and it was Ed Jacobsen who facilitated his Harvard access. "I will never forget that," said Robinson, noting that Harvard's special collections are not something that just anybody can walk into and stroll through. "He was a good man," Robinson said when asked about his recollections of Jacobsen, who retired in 1984 and died last month in Oregon. "He was always willing to go out of his way for people," Robinson said. He said that Jacobsen saw potential in Winona State becoming more than a "true commuters school" with the old, minimal library in Maxwell. He believes that Jacobsen probably did the early legwork for the new library that replaced Maxwell, writing letters and starting the planning.
