Bars gear up for big weekendWINONA, Minn., Sept. 5, 2004 -- With the fall flood of college students, the bars have come up with specials and events to outdo each other in the savagely competitive downtown booze business. Dan English of Mulligan's Irish Pub, at 219 E. Third St., has increased inventory. "Homecoming especially will require us to stock up on all supplies and liquor," English said. "We will have additional staff on that day as well."
Schyde's, at 102 Johnson St., also is looking to Winona State's homecoming the weekend of Sept. 24. "We're thinking about doing a Kegs on Eggs breakfast menu starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday," said James Riemer, a Schyde's manager. "People can come over and enjoy a good breakfast and have all you can drink beer for $5 before the game." Schyde's offered a similar breakfast special last summer before a bikini contest at the Dam Saloon upriver on the Mississippi.
Back-to-campus specials have covered a broad range. Schyde's offered chances on Renaissance Festival tickets. And on Tuesday nights, Pabst Blue Ribbon has been $1.25 a pint. Brother's, at 129 West Third St., had a Back-to-School Bud Night the first week of classes. Also, every weekend night Brothers offered Sex at Midnight. From midnight to 1 a.m. Sex on the Beach drinks were $1. Also for a buck were Long Island Iced Tea, Vodka Red Bull, and Jagermeister Bombs. Friday and Saturday nights at Brothers offered chances to win Minnesota Twins tickets.
The newest special at Brothers was Tijuana Bombs, or T-Bombs -- a combination Ciclon, a premium Bacardi Gold Rum, infused with imported Agave Tequila and natural lime flavor, and Red Bull, a popular energy drink. From Thursday through Saturday, T-Bombs were $1 and a Brothers exclusive. Ladies' Night was set for the weekends from 9 to 11 p.m.

COMMENT: NEW UNIVERSITY
MONEY GRAB
Read between the lines of the New University draft at Winona State Univerity. You will find an unsettling theme: Money, money, money.
Although the goal was hailed a year ago as a project to revolutionize American higher education, the most revolutionary thing that has emerged is
a great many devices to extract more revenue from the state and from students. With smoke and mirrors, university President Darrell Krueger might be able to persuade St. Paul that something so special is going on in Winona that the university deserves special funding.
More certain is another change -- either a tuition surcharge or added fees now pegged at $1,000, phased in over four years, to finance the changes. There also will be more intense efforts to find internships and partnerships for which students would be charged tuition for job experience outside of direct university supervision -- a real money-maker, with minimal investment of university resources for credit-hour generation through outside institutions. A second double-whammy on students is the proposal for more foreign study opportunities. In this financial charade, students would pay Winona State tuition to study at a foreign institution while also paying the other institution's fees.
These are student-unfriendly initiatives. Only the bursar could be pleased.

COMMENT
NEW UNIVERSITY
THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
The sad truth is emerging about the once-heralded New University initiative at Winona State University. The best that anybody been able to come up with to summarize the core is an empty motto: "The Winona Experience." This is new?
In launching the $450,000 New University project a year ago, university President Darrell Krueger had promised a reinvention that would be so dramatic hat Winona State would be a model for U.S. higher education moving into the 21st century. The most that now can be said at this point is that the project perhaps has generated an acceleration of evolutionary programmatic improvements that would have come any way.
So what do we have besides a new marketing line? With smoke a mirrors, Krueger might be able to persuade St. Paul that something so special is going on in Winona that the university deserves special funding. More state money would be nice but not under misleading pretenses. |

| WINONA, Minn., Sept. 2, 2004 -- "I don't eat buffalo" is a memorable quotes from pop star Jessica Simpson of the MTV reality show "Newlyweds." Many Winona bar-goers disagree, savoring buffalo wings at Brother's, ZaZa's and Schyde's. ZaZa's has wings for 15 cents apiece stating at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays in five varieties: southwest, spicy garlic, sweet BBQ, buffalo and hot. Other nights, a pound is $4.95. Brother's Bar has 10-cent wings on Wednesdays in two varieties: hot or regular. Schyde's offers 20-cent wings on Tuesday and Wednesday nights in seven flavors: hot, buffalo, zesty ranch, blue buffalo, tangy BBQ, honey BBQ, and sweet and spicy.
James Riemer, a Schyde's manager, is the chef behind the bar's wings. Why are they so good? " We don't just make hundreds of wings hours before people come and have them sit around until someone orders them," Riemer said. "They are fresh." Riemer is developing new flavors this fall. "I have been working on a new Teriyaki wing," he said. "It will be delicious." Even Jessica Simpson would be tempted.

NEWS AND COMMENT
WINONA MEDIA WATCH |
FAUX SLOGANEERING
The Winona Post claims too much and says too little with its latest front-page slogan: "Proud to Be the Official Newspaper for the City of Winona." To readers who donŐt track intricacies of state legal requirements on municipalities, the slogan seems to give some official imprimatur to the Post. The fact is that "official" means nothing more than that the Post submitted the lowest bid to run notices that the city government is required to publish in a local paper. Sometimes the Daily News bids lower, sometimes the Post.
The Post slogan is perversely odd considering that the paper works hard at being on the outs with Mayor Jerry Miller and offending City Council members.
Misleading sloganeering is hardly new to the Post. When the Daily News, which dates to the 1800s, was purchased by the Iowa-based Lee chain, the fledgling Post suddenly boasted in a Page One slogan that it was "Winona's Oldest Locally Owned Newspaper." Although literally true, the Post again claimed too much and said too little. It had been only in 1971 that John and Frances Edstrom founded the Post -- more than 100 years after the Daily News predecssor first rolled off the press.
The faux historical claims of the Post have become a bit more subtle. Now the suggestion that the Post ahs more heritage than it does in the Page One line drawing of the storefront where the Post is housed. The date of the building's construction, 1867, has been given special artistic emphasis.

Profs cautioned on political advocacyST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 2, 2004 -- As the political season heats up, the biennial question has arisen: How far can profs go in advocacy. In the classroom, not at all according to state law, says Russ Stanton at the state office of the faculty union. "In layperson's language," Stanton said, "a faculty member may advocate for a political candidate or party so long as they do not do so during class or office hours, do not use state property or supplies to raise money for or advocate the election of a candidate, and do not use their authority to coerce support for a candidate or political party." It would be a egregious violation of state law to solicit money during class or during posted office hour, for example, he said.
Prancing nude under her silent eyesWINONA, Minn., Sept. 2, 2004 -- What would Princess Wenonah say? The cops caught four skinny-dippers fleeing from the Princess Wenonah statue fountain in Windom park about 3 a.m. The foursome, two men and two women, ranging from 21 to 23, at least one a Winona State University student, grabbed what clothes they could and ran for a car as the cops approached, police said. Too late. As the four fugitives stood dripping at their car, the cops threw the book at them with citations for indecent exposure, trespassing, fleeing the police and, for one of them, disorderly conduct.
Bush plugs college retraining planNEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2004 -- President Bush, in a finale appearance at the Republican National Convention, repeated his call for more money to community colleges to retrain workers for new jobs. The $250 million plan, revealed last winter in a Minnesota speech, was move workers into higher-paying jobs. "I know that with the right skills, American workers can compete with anyone, anywhere in the world," Bush said in accepting the GOP presidential nomination. The program would provide fund community college partnerships with local industries and state work-force boards to train workers for emerging industries. The president has claimed that 100,000 workers a year would benefit.

Critics quickly noted that Bush failed in his address to mention he also has proposed cutting $300 million from the Perkins program for community colleges to train low-income students for jobs. He also did not mention $64 million he has proposed cutting from training for displaced workers.
In the speech, Bush repeated his call a new Pell program to reward needy students for college-prep courses. The reward: An extra $1,000 a year in Pell money. He did not, however, propose propose any new money to reduce a $3.7 billion shortfall in the existing Pell program or to increase awards beyond the current $4,050 max.

100 teams in Blackhorse volleyballWINONA, Minn., Sept. 2, 2004 -- A record 100 teams played sand volleyball at the Blackhorse Bar on Highway 61 toward suburban Homer over the summer, said manager Eric Lichman. Last year 60 teams participated, the year before 45. "We expect even more next year." said Lichman. The Blackhorse had men's, women's and co-ed leagues. Said Winona State University student Seth Reise, a member of a co-ed team sponsored by Schyde's bar: "It's nice to have different leagues for different skill levels." Reise's team ended up taking second place in the league. Katie O'Brien, a member of another co-ed team, thought this was one of the highlights of her summer. Lichman said the number of spectators grew from previous years. With fairly cooperative weather, many friends and fans enjoyed watching the games on the 6,000-square foot Blackhorse patio.

Candidates sympathize on parkingWINONA, Minn., Sept. 1, 2004 -- Changes are needed to the dreaded alternate-side parking ordinance, according to a number of City Council candidates. Deb Salyards, a candidate in the Third Ward, which includes Winona State University, said at a televised candidate forum: "The ordinance doesn't need to start so soon and lasts far too long." The current alternate-side rule, which runs November through March so city crews can remove leaf debris and snow, makes it harder for students to find parking places. Salyards said that the ordinance is working, but isn't the perfect solution and needs changes.
A Winona State nursing professor, Linda Seppanen, running for the at-large Council seat, said that only select areas should be under the ordinance, rather than citywide. Seppanen said that she sympathizes with college students who have to deal with the ordinance. "You get towed once, and you've definitely learned your lesson," Seppanen said.
Currently the parking ticket costs $25, and if you allow your vehicle to sit there long enough you can expect another $80 in towing fees. "The $25 ticket really impacts students," said Chris Arnold, the Third Ward incumbent. "I think it's an unfair burden." Arnold suggested that the ticket should be reduced to $15.
Mara Rukavina, also a Third Ward candidate, said she doesn't blame students for wanting the ordinance lifted. "Banning it will alleviate a lot of the problems with students," Rukavina said. She favors an emergency-only alternate side parking ordinance that requires vehicles to be on one side of the street only in snow emergencies.
At-large candidate Debbie White's solution: "I encourage students to take the transit, walk or ride a bicycle to places they need to go."
Dave Kouba, an at-large candidate, said: "We need to find a place for these students to park besides the street." "If the university would have built a parking ramp 10 years ago, we wouldn't have this problem," Kouba said.

Super-cold shots a Viagara-like jolt?WINONA, Minn., Sept. 1, 2004 -- The craze drinks on the college bar scene this fall, Liquid Viagra. Surfer on Acid, and Liquid Cocaine, have a common ingredient -- Jagermeister. It's also downed as shots. Dan English, bar manager at Mulligan's Irish Pub, said the popularity of Jagermeister has definitely grown. Perhaps it's the taste, he says. Or maybe the potency. Or maybe the funny names. Said Winona State biology student Kellie Peterson: "Half the time I have no idea what is even in one. I just remember the name because they are funny to say. Usually they taste pretty good too."
Jagermeister contains 35 percent alcohol. The distiller recommends it be served cold, very cold -- 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Considering that water's freezing point of 32 degrees, Jargermeister is, to say the least, a shock to the system. Mulligan's, at 219 East Third St., has taken serving Jagermeister up a notch. To provide the coldest shots, Mulligan's has a tap machine fror colder-than-ice shots with a push of a button. The $300 machine, the size of a desktop CPU, holds three one-liter bottles of the Jagermeister.

Speakers: Bush pushing college aid| NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2004 -- A nephew of President Bush, George P. Bush, told college Republicans meeting in connection with the GOP national convention that 60,000 young people have volunteered for the president's re-election campaign. Look around," he said. "This is the new face of the Republican Party." He said the Bush administration would work to keep interest rates low, which he said would help college students repay loans. At the convention main event, Education Secretary Rod Paige said more Pell grants money is available as college aid. |

| | Protestors infiltrated the college Republican gathering and interrupted a speech by Andrew Card, White House chief of staff. A half a dozen protesters had obtained access credentials and chanted and clapped with everybody else until Card appeared. One of them blew a whistle, apparently a cue, and the group leaped on chairs, and waved anti-Bush signs and shouted: "Bush lies, people die." One T-shirt message: "Bush: Global AIDS Liar." Guards dragged the protesters out of the arena. Card, meanwhile, ignored the melee and kept on talking. |

Dubious distinction: Best party schoolPRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 1, 2004 -- The State University of New York at Albany is the No. 1 party school in the nation, according to an annual survey by Princeton Review. The distinction was based on student answers about the number of hours they spend studying per week, how much beer and hard liquor they drink, and the popularity of their fraternities and sororities. Between 300 to 450 students were surveyed at each of 357 colleges. Second was Washington and Lee University in Virginia, followed by the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Neither Winona State nor St. Mary's made the list. At SUNY-Albany, officials were not pleased at the rating. In a statement, the university criticized the Princeton Review for its information-gathering: "If this were a term paper, it would get an 'F' in methodology."

| WINONA, Minn., Sept. 1, 2004 -- New owners hope to morph the downtown bar Rascal's into a unique source of entertainment and fun for bar-goers. Bob Glesener, a co-owner of Winona Entertainment Group, said no-cover charge acoustic and Karaoke nights are part of plan to maintain Rascal's reputation as a significant music venue. Rascal's is the oldest music venue in Winona and was starting to show it. Glesner said there will be renovated restrooms, a back bar and an additional entrance to increase the capacity from the current 226 for live shows. Rascal's already has new floors in the bar.
|
Glesener said he is in the process of developing new specials, including, like several rival bars, a Thursday Ladies Nights. There will be no cover on these nights and free beer for the women. Also, Glesener is developing what he calls a "sound check special." Customers can come to the bar before a show to enjoy drink specials while the band is preparing for night's show. Being early earns a waived cover charge, usually $3. Glesner also hopes that only-at-Rascal's Unforgiven, an amber ale on from Rush River Brewing Company in Maiden Rock, Wis. No other Winona bar offers Unforgiven.
Rascal's had maintained its reputation for live music under Craig and Barb Timm, who sold the bar to Winona Entertainment Group. Glesener and Ken Erickson are the principals in the new ownership. Glesener, who works as bar manager, said there will be no name change.
"We want to remain under the name Rascal's because over the years, it has become a familiar location for bands to come by and play," said Glesener. "Winona is a perfect location because it is between Chicago and the Twin Cities. Bands have the opportunity to stop by and play on a Wednesday or Thursday night before heading up to the cities." An attraction to bands is Rascal's is our sound gear. We offer bands the chance to rent out our sound gear and a sound technician, Glesener said: "That way, bands don't have to haul their own PA. They only have to bring their instruments." Winona Entertainment Group, owned by Glesener and Ken Erickson, also rents out the sound gear to other venues like the Winona
Bandshell.

Profs' 2.4% bests other WSU workersWINONA, Minn., Sept. 1, 2004 -- The contract that Winona State University faculty members will vote on this month, which includes a 2.4 percent salary increase, is a significantly better deal than the new contracts for other campus employees. Pat Shaughnessy, president of the AFSCME unit that represents Winona State janitors and clerks, noted that his people got no raise: "Our health care cost went up, our out-of-pocket costs went up and we didn't receive any raises." The faculty has negotiated not only a pay increase but lesser deductibles and co-pays for health insurance. The faculty will vote Sept. 15 at all state university system campus on whether to accept the tentative deal.
"When we got our deal last year, we were not very happy with what we got," said Shaughnessy, of AFSCME's Council 6. AFSCME members even approved a strike, but Shaughnessy said that union leaders saw that too many of their members were still smarting financially from a two-week strike in 2001. "If you don't have the numbers and the people to stand up and go on strike, obviously you can't just walk out."
Shaugnessy said that Gov. Tim Pawlenty had made it clear in 2003 that nobody was getting anything. "There wasn't much we could do about it," Shaughnessy said. AFSCME negotiations didnŐt go easily, but a contract was approved last November after the state threatened to force a contract on the union, essentially erasing the right to negotiation. The result was no raises for two years. In addition, the state-paid part of employee health insurance coverage dropped from 90 percent to 85 percent, putting thousands more dollars of healthcare costs on AFSCME members.
The Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, which represents mid-level Winona State managers, got the same deal -- no pay increase for two years and pay cuts to fund 15 percent of their state-provided insurance, as well as higher deductibles and co-pays. Together MAPE and AFSCME represent about 190 Winona State workers.
Unlike MAPE and AFSCME, the faculty's union, the Inter-Faculty Organization, took the governor to court over imposing health-carte changes without negotiation. The judge agreed that with the IFO, and Pawlenty, his back to the wall, yielded on the insurance issue. However, although profs will get a 2.4 percent pay increase this year, there are no raises retroactive for last year. In effect, profs are getting the 1.2 percent a year for the two-year term of the contract.
AFSCME's Shaughnessy wants his union to be more aggressive next time. "Hopefully when negotiations come again this year, people will be more willing to stand up and demand their share," Shaughnessy said. "I am absolutely unhappy with the contract we're working under right now, but for now, we just have to bide our time and see how negotiations go."
