WSU prof had primal role in PBS sagaWINONA, Minn., Oct. 5, 2003 -- The high-profile documentary on pioneer cross-country motorist Horatio Nelson Jackson, which airs Monday on PBS television, was inspired by Winona State University prof Drake Hokanson's book "The Lincoln Highway." Hokanson, whose has a cameo of sorts in the documentary, also served as a script consultant. "This is a really interesting story about trying to get across the country when there weren't any roads," Hokanson said. Jackson's 1903 trip from San Francisco to New York took 65 days. Hokanson said that film-maker Ken Burns decided to do the film after documentary writer Dayton Duncan approached him with the idea. Duncan had been reading Hokanson's book, in which he mentions the Jackson trip. As a project consultant, Hokanson reviewed the script for accuracy and balance. Also, Burns flew Hokanson to the Walpole, N.H., headquarters of Burns' film company, to review the rough edit. Jackson's trip makes a good story, Hokanson said. The route was rough, unmarked, unpaved land, mostly stagecoach routes, and the 1903 Winton had one mechanical calamity after another, he said.

"A series of straps that Dayton said looked like a brazier, strapped the cameraman to the front bumper," Hokanson said. "It became known as the Horatio cam." The footage gives a feeling of the trip, said Hokanson. |

Metro foreign student cutback under reviewST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 3, 2003 -- A Winona State University student, Robin Miller, is leading a fight through the state college students' organization against a Metropolitan State University moratorium against accepting new foreign students. Miller has meetings planned to draft a Minnesota State Universities Student Association position paper. "The Senate at Metro is very angry with the administration because they never asked the for Senate's opinion, noting that many Metro studneys senators are international students. "They feel this is a direct hit on them," said Miller. Metro administrators decided against accepting new foreign students after falling beind with new post-9/11 paperwork, she said. Also, funding for the campus international office was cut 74 percent and the director of Latino Studies was demoted to part-time. Also, tuition was hiked $10,000 a year for undergrads, and $18,000 for graduate students. Plus, said Miller, foreign students will be required to work 60 hours of community service per semester, up from 30 hours, she said. According to Miller, no affirmative-action laws are being broken because foreign students "don't have the same rights as minority students in this country do, and they don't speak out because they are scared of being deported especially after 9/11." Because of the insufficient staffing in the international office 25 to 40 current international students may have to be sent home because their paperwork is not completed, Miller said: "As of now those students don't know how much longer they will be here."

Post-mortem: A great homecoming weekendWINONA, Minn., Oct. 3, 2003 -- The guy in charge of the Winona State University homecoming parade, Joe Reed, concedes now that he was a tad nervous about the new parade staging area and parade route. "But things panned out perfectly," Reed said. Students were well behaved and looked as though they were having a good time, Reed said. He said he heard good things from townspeople. Former School Board member Mike Bernatz, who lives near campus, called it "a job well done." He commended the "parade and the general atmosphere," noting he personally saw no one acting inappropriately during the parade." The cleanup after the parade left Huff Street spotless. "The post-parade cleanup crew did a wonderful job," Bernatz said "Our neighborhood was in great shape all weekend."

COMMENT:
DOWNWARD SPIRAL
ASPIRING TO THE AVERAGE
People talk about good places to work. They attract good workers.
Offering workers a notch better pay and good benefits, the State of Minnesota long has been one such good place to work. The state has set a standard for other employers.
Now comes Gov. Tim Pawlenty. He wants to lower the bar. In a callous insult to the quality work force that the State has attracted, he says state workers should take less in pay and benefits and move in line with private employers.
He aspires to the average.
If Pawlenty succeeds in his showdown with the AFSCME and MAPE state employee unions, we would be on a downward spiral. Every time an above-the-average employer moves to the average, the average falls.
Mississippi, here we come. |

Timeline set for East Lake tax caseWINONA, Minn., Oct. 3, 2003 -- State Tax Judge George Perez laid out a timeline for further arguments on whether property taxes should be paid on the new East Lake dorm that houses Winona State University students. The timeline schedules a decision in mid-February at the latest. On Friday, Perez heard arguments from county Assessor Steve Hacken, who wants to tax the $12 million dorm, and Kent Gernander of the WSU Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation that built the dorm. Perez asked for briefs from both sides in 30 days and said he would then give then two weeks respond to each other. The court then could take 90 additional days to rule.

School board to WSU: Not enoughWINONA, Minn., Oct. 2, 2003 -- The Winona School Board decided against a $700,000 offer from Winona State University for the Lincoln School building at Huff and Sarnia. The board told its attorney, Jim Forsythe, to work up a formal response that rejects the offer and sets a specific, higher asking price. The board did not settle on a price, but the property has been assessed to $1.7 to $1.8 million. Winona State based its significantly lower offer on the value of the land, saying the building itself is such bad shape it would need to be torn down.

He called Romaine's decision a "courtesy," adding: "He's still around to help us." Romaine had filed an application for the Senate at the start of fall classes but withdrew. "I don't want to get in the way of the new phase of the Senate and where it's going," Romaine said.

Dorm supervisor subject to restraints

Former floor supervisor at Lourdes dorm |

| WINONA, Minn., Oct. 2, 2003 -- The woman who is suing Winona State University over sexual irregularities in Lourdes dorm last year, senior Robyn Hjorth, has been to court twice against a fellow dorm supervisor, Grady Teske. Last April, Hjorth obtained a judge's restraining order, for which she later obtained a renewal. The order barred Teske from the campus. Hjorth said Teske came into her room at Lourdes and left unwanted verses and messages with sexual themes. Teske also was the subject of a restraining order sought by a second woman, Lisa Myrvold, who was a senior last year. The restraining orders are separate from the complaint filed by Hjorth with the state Human Rights Department. In the complaint, Hjorth accuses the university of failing to act on her behalf. She said she reported problems to campus security chief Don Walski but that nobody responded adequately.

These are projects funded mostlu through 30-year loans. |
|
|
| WINONA, Minn., Oct. 2, 2003 -- The most that Winona State University could pay to buy the delapidated Lincoln School at Huff and Sarnia is $700,000, President Darrell Krueger confirmed. That's far less than the $1.8 million that the cash-needy Winona School Board had hoped. Krueger said that an inspection found the old school in such bad shape that the best course might be to raze it for campus parking. To renovate the building for overflow office space, as originally intended, would cost $5 million, Krueger said. That kind of money, he noted, could pay for a built-from-scratch new building at a site more convenient to campus. Even to demolish the building, he said, would be costly, perhaps an additional $650,000, is part because it was constructed in the 1950s with asbestos products that have since been found to be carcinogenic and that require expensive disposal procedures.

COMMENT:
"THE SKY IS FALLING"
ZILCH CREDIBILITY
Gov. Tim Pawlenty keeps claiming he can put no more money on the negotiating table for state worker contracts. Why can't we believe him?
After insulting state workers with a measly initial contract offer and claiming that he had emptied the pot, that there was no more, he somehow came up with an extra $66 million. It was a pittance considering there are 30,000 workers covered by the contracts. Nonetheless, it made a lie of the governor's pot-is-empty claim.
When the governor's negotiators sit down with the unions again, we hope for honesty about the best deal he can offer. We've heard enough of the tiresome Chicken Little routine that the sky is falling. |

| WINONA, Minn., Oct. 1, 2003 -- In today's job market being a good student is not enough, author Patrick Combs warned a Winona State University audience. The challenge, said Combs, is how to get your resume considered. Internships are key to landing a job with decent pay and benefits. And one internship is not enough, Combs told his audience of 65 students. The optimal number is three, Combs said, preferably with one or more of them unpaid. Combs said that having experience as an intern would help to distinguish one graduate from the next. He offered the following advice from one of his college profs years ago: "The most important homework you are ever going to do is never going to be assigned." Completing the unassigned homework means being one of the few who go the extra mile, said Combs. In addition to internships,Combs encouraged students to join a professional student organization, to volunteer, to accept leadership positions, and to learn to create computer spreadsheets and databases.

WSU records subpoenaed in sex caseWINONA, Minn., Oct. 1, 2003 -- A male supervisor at Winona State's Lourdes dorm sexually harrassed a female supervisor last year and, despite a formal complaint, the university failed to respond adequately, according to charges in a complaint filed with the state Human Rights Commission. Details of the complaint and a subpoena served on university President Darrell Krueger were reported in the Winonan by the paper's news editor, Brian Krans. Krans said the subpoena asked for documents, including "copies of the complete personnel and student files of Grady Teske." Teske left Lourdes in December 2001 under cloudy circumstances in which sources told CyberIndee reporters variously that he had been fired and that he quit. Teske himself said he was fired by dorms chief Mike Porritt who then, Teske said, offered him the job again. Teske has since left the university. About the subsequent subpoena resulting from the Lourdes woman who has made the formal sexual harrassment complaint, the university's legal counsel, Tess Kruger, was quoted in the Winonan that the university was cooperating with the investigation. The subpoena named numerous people in the university's reporting structure for handling student conduct complaints:Sara Lee Garcia, a housing director at Lourdes, who has since left the university.Don Walski, campus security director.Mike Porritt, housing director.Cal Winbush, a vice president whose responsibilities include the dorms.Tess Kruger, who does double duty as the university's Affirmative Action officer.

WSU elections: Turnout up, not strongWINONA, Minn., Oct. 1, 2003 -- The first online student election at Winona State University failed to lure voters in droves. In all, 454 students voted, compared to opnly 243 last fall -- but still less than 6.2 percent of the university's enrollment. "I am pleased with the increase voter turnout, but I was hoping for 10 percent of the student body to vote when only 6 percent did," said Dusty Finke, the Senate's vice president. Finke and fellow election judges Aubrey Shermock, Desiree Bonsack, Tim Donahue and Robin Miller, hand-counted votes from a computer printout to confirm the accuracy of the new online mechanism. Students could tap into the electronic ballot box from anywhere, but two laptops in the Kryzsko student center were also available. Senators stationed at the Kryzsko computers answered questions. The Senate's public relations chair, Aubrey Shermock, said no records were kept on the Kryzsko turnout, but most students voted on their own from elsewhere. There was a glitch. Voting was scheduled to start at 8 a.m., but technical problems delayed the start until 9:30 a.m. Finke did not think that the delay affected turnout.

Gow is dean of lib arts, Eddy an English prof, and Reilly a speech prof. None plan to leave their day jobs.Date: Saturday, Oct. 4

COMMENT:
MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNOR
PLEASE, BE A MAN
Gov. Tim Pawlenty speaks out of two side of his mouth. The Mr. Hyde side says that his contract offer to state employees is plenty. It's in line with the private sector, he claims.
Out of the Dr. Jekyll side, the governor says his hands are tied by the Legislature, which didn't appropriate money for improvements in pay and benefits. As if he would if he could.
Is this schizo, or what?
The fact is the governor's budget recommendation to the Legislature put a cap on personnel spending. Legislators went along. Pawlenty wanted his hands tied.
Please, Mr. Governor, spare us the insult to our intelligence. You have nobody but yourself to blame for the disgraceful contract package you've presented to state employees, including many at our campuses.
Be a man. Accept responsibility for what you did. |
