WSU braces for Pasteur delayWINONA, Minn, May 7, 2004 -- The Winona State plan to get its new science complex up and running may take an additional year, university Vice President Jim Schmidt conceded after learning of the State Senate's problem with a proposed package of statewide building projects. Schmidt said his understanding is that prospects for Senate approval this year now is "grim." The new $30 million science building will ready to go for fall classes, but funds for a $10 million renovation of Pasteur Hall is part of the funding package that stalled in the Senate on Thursday. Winona State has regarded the Pasteur project as an essential component of the new science complex. Without the Pasteur upgrade, the complex will function at less than capacity, Schmidt said.

Troops cheer Bush in La Crosse stopLA CROSSE, Wis., May 7, 2004 -- President Bush found himself preaching to the already-converted in a campaign stop to 7,000 cheering supporters in the Copeland baseball park near the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Bush repeated his call for tax cuts as a means to restore the nation's economy and repeated his opposition to abortion and human cloning. About torture in U.S.-operated Iraq prisones, Bush restated his disgust at photos that recently found their way onto CBS: "That doesn't reflect the character and the decency of and the honor of the men and women who wear the uniform of the Unietd States of America." Hundreds of Army soldiers given time off from Fort McCoy, 20 miles east of La Crosse, all wearing U.S. flags on white T-shirts, added a photogenic flourish to the rally. The president took no question, leaving immediately from the rally to cntinue his four-state Upper Midwest swing.

Advice: High school security upgradesWINONA, Minn., May 6, 2004 -- The security chief at Winona State University, Don Walski, recommended that the Winona School Board hire its own security guards for the high school rather than farming out the work to a private firm that sends a patrol out every so often. A greater degree of student trust in guards is needed, Walksi said in a consulting report. He also recommended upgraded crisis training for the school staff, a current-technology video surveillance system, and better campus lighting. Overall, he found the school relatively safe.

Senate Republicans kill Pasteur fundingST. PAUL, Minn, May 6, 2004 -- The Minnesota Senate voted 39-28, two votes short of the required three-fifths, to borrow money for state construction projects, including $10 million for Pasteur science building renovations at Winona State University. Senate Majority Leader Dean Elton Johnson promised a second attempt on Friday to pass the construction package. If the new vote also fails, Johnson said, it would be "very unlikely" that any projects would find funding this year. The vote was mostly on party lines. Democrats all voted for the bonding bill and Republicans against -- with four exceptions. State Sen. Bob Kierlin was among Republicans breaking ranks to vote for the projects. Debate was intense. When Sen. Sheila Kiscaden, an independent from Rochester, supported the bonding bill, the Republicans kicked out of their caucus and moved her office furniture to the Democratic side.

Loan policy shift now on House agendaWASHINGTON, May 5, 2004 -- The Republican leaders of the U.S. House formally proposed extending the Higher Education Act for six years. The bill, the College Access and Opportunity Act, would increase how much that first-year and second-year students may takeout in federal loans. To create the new funds, the bill would eliminate loan-consolidation refinancing options for graduates. Rep. John A.

Most Democrats have opposed the Republican plan as banker-friendly and student-unfriendly.
