			MEN'S BASKET- BALL			WINONA, Minn, June 10, 2004 -- A 6-foot-9 center from Aquinas High in La Crosse, Wis., Michael Miller, has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Winona State Univerity, coach Mike Leaf said. Muller has "a nice shooting touch" and rebounds well, Leaf said. At Aquinas, Muller averaged nine points a game, mostly in a reserve role. Acquinas won its division championship in 2003. The team was conference champion in 2004. Muller is among five recruits who Leaf said have decided on Winona State:

Boyfriend had key to trashed dorm room

WINONA, Minn., June 7, 2004 -- The Winona State University student who trashed his girlfriend's East Lake dorm apartment in late March used a swipe key to enter the building. Eric J. Turner, who did niot live in the buuilding, entered the dorm about 2 a.m., March 23, with the key that, in violation of university rules, the girlfriend had given him, said Don Walski, campus security chief. Whether the woman whose apartment was trashed will be disciplined was unclear. Under a disputed university policy, disciplinary actions are defined by the university as educational and therefore shielded by law from public disclosure. Tracy Ferber-Rahim, East Lake dorm director, confirmed, however, that tenants are fined $10 for losing a swipe key and $50 for losing a regular metal key they also issued. The swipe keys "are really nice for convenience," said Ferber-Rahim. "I think the students like them." The swipe keys are part of a state-of-the-art security system installed when the new East Lake dorm opened in August. Here's how the system works: East Lake tenants each have a swipe key, programmed with their name. Tenants swipe the keys through a small black wall panel to open the inside doors of the four East Lake building. After allowing three to four seconds for entry, the door locks automatically. Every time the key is used, the name of the tenant and the date and time are recorded in a computer program called Keri Door Access System. Walski, who controls the program, can inactivate keys when one is lost. Also, he can restrict access to certain buildings. Walski and an assistant have access to the computer data of tenant entrances, which could be helpful, Walski said, if someone goers missing. Besides the four main entrances to the buildings, three other doors can be opened with the swipe keys. MORE MORE

PR chief: WSU flag flap yielded lessons

WINONA, Minn., June 7, 2004 -- If university President Darrell Krueger had a perfect crystal ball, he would have formed a task force to consider the College Republican proposal for a U.S. flag in every Winona State classroom when then the students hatched the plan back in October, according to his public relations chief. "But who could've predicted the response?" said Tom Grier, referring to the firestorm that erupted in January. At the controversy's nadir, antagonists were labeling each other neo-Fascists and neo-socialists in the public press. Right-wing commentators nationwide had a field day with wild extrapolations about un-Americanism run amok at Winona State. Who could imagine, said Grier, that a "happy, likeable icon such as the American flag" could cause such commotion? There were lessons learned, said Grier: "I think we have become educated by this." MORE GRIER Krueger adviser As a public relations professional, Grier oversees most of the university's public announcements and communications, but the flag issue wasn't on his radar until too late. In retrospect, things should have been turned over to a campus-wide task force from the beginning, Grier said. It was a task force, finally set up by Krueger amid the public relations nightmare, that eventually calmed angry legislators and a City Council majority. But the task force came late, after the university's detractors had an un expected array of ammunition and were firimg away. When it was formed, the task force leapfrogged over the contentious GOP classroom flag and recommended more major flag displays on campus. Krueger accepted those recommendations, which now are being implemented. In March, when the task force reported its recommendations, Krueger said in interviews that he liked the ideas. There was a delay of three weeks, however, in announcing his approval -- a delay for which Grier, as a Krueger adviser, takes responsibility. Krueger wanted to announce his approval of the task force recommendations right away to get the issue quieted down, but Grier noted that Krueger had promised that all campus constituencies would be consulted first. One employee union, Council 6, which represents mostly janitors and secretaries, was slow to declare his support -- and Grier said to wait. "I'm the one holding it up," he said. "What if they disagree with it?" Grier told Krueger to make sure to hear from everybody first. Krueger agreed.

Even though university people are more than half of his constituency, it's not clear that Arnold is in touch. During the campus flag crisis, Arnold joined a 5-2 Council majority to pressure the university to adopt the ill-conceived student Republican plan for a flag in every classroom. The Council soon reversed itself -- as soon as it realized its facts were wrong about campus processes that were in place and working. This is something Arnold should have known in the first place and set fellow Council members straight. But no: In ignorance of the year's greatest campus issue, Arnold cast an ill-informed vote. Arnold is not alone to blame for the Council having egg on its face. But as representative of the Winona State ward, we have a reasonable expectation that he know what's going on at campus.

Actually it's an 11-1/2 month option and applies only to the new East Lake dorm. About 40 students signed up for the longer leases, said dorm director Tracy Ferber-Rahim. There was some dislocation because the university wanted the East Lake buildings vacant for a couple weeks of inspection before the one-year construction warranty expired. Tenants were temporarily housed in the Sheehan dorm, then moved back to East Lake. Reporter: Aubrey Shermock TO EARLIER ITEMS TO TOP TO HOME TO NEWS ARCHIVE
