Krueger busting buttons with prideWINONA, Minn., Oct. 21, 2004 -- The new Winona State science lab building is seen by university President Darrell Krueger as one of his greatest accomplishments. The other is the library. In an interview on the eve of the dedication of the $30 million science building, Krueger said it was a great feeling to have it. "We have waited," he said. "We have needed this building, and it is a wonderful gift from the state to the university."
Until the building opened this summer for classes, everyone was at risk in the science department, said Krueger. The ventilation system in the Pasteur science building couldnÕt handle fumes. Now all "wet labs," as they're called, are in the new building with state-of-he-art ventilation and, it seems, everything else.

"The library and the science building are the future of this university," said Krueger. He was hesitant to compare the science and library projects but said: "Science is the future, and the students who walk through the WSU science building will better the state, and the country. This building secures the future." Krueger said extolled both the art in the facility as well as the physical presence of the building itself. "I love the foyer, the rock wall, the green house, how open the building is so students can spend time studying, and this is a building that will never age," said Krueger. There weren't any major hurdles in getting this building built or ready, said Krueger. The funding became pretty "smooth sailing" after Gov. Tim Pawlenty recommended the construction. Did he worry the project might fall through? "How dangerous the old building was I had no doubts," said Krueger.

Priest saw Wall as spiritual personSPARTA, Wis., Oct. 20, 2004 -- A Winona State University junior who died in a car wreck last week, Mark Wall, 20, will be remembered as an energetic lover of people and nature, Father Mark Walljasper said at his funeral. Walljasper, who delivered eulogy, spoke about his relationship with the Wall family, including officiating at Wall's baptism, first communion and confirmation. "He was a spiritual person with high morals, and a very generous young man," said Walljasper, a retired priest and neighbor of the Walls, said Mark Wall's generosity was personified by extending someone else's life through his donation of his organs -- a decision Wall had made only a few weeks earlie. Wall's uncle, John Sullivan, and a college friend, Eli Bremmer, sang and played the guitar at the funeral.
Wall's funeral was followed by his burial at Woodlawn Cemetery. "An eagle flew overhead at the burial," said Walljasper. Walljasper said many of his relatives saw the eagle as a sign that Wall' s spirit was being lifted up to heaven. Walljasper said the funeral was the largest he had witnessed since becoming a pastor at St. Patrickâs Catholic Church in 1981. More than 100 students came to the visitation the night before the funeral. About 600 people wereat the funeral.

KIDNAP VICTIM FROZE AT THE WORDS
"Don't say a word or
I'll stab you"WINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- After an evening at Baldwin Lounge, a quiet study area in Kryzsko student union at Winona State University. Khalid Al-Ahmed decided to head home. He walked east on Mark Street toward generally quiet Johnson Street, where his 1994 Honda Accord was parked. There he unlocked the car. As he opened the door a man came from behind and held up a knife: "Don't say a word or I'll stab you." In shock, not knowing what to do, Khalid stepped into the driver's seat. The knife-wielding man moved around the front end of the car into the front passenger seat.
These were among chilling details about a kidnapping at 11 p.m., Oct. 13, related by the victim in a two-hour exclusive interview. The victim granted the interview on condition that he not be named because he fears his abductors might come after him. (Khalid Al-Ahmed is not his real name.) Earlier coverage identified him as a 19-year-old Saudi Arabian sophomore studying pre-engineering, which he confirmed. He has denied other interview requests, but granted this one to address rumors, mostly untrue, that have swept the campus.
Khalid said his assailant was 6-foot-1, Hispanic-looking wearing a blue bandana over his face. The man was bigger than Khalid, who is 5-8 and of medium build.
Once both were in the car, Khalid said, he pleaded with the assailant to take the car and leave him there. The man demanded Khalid's wallet and cell phone. Khalid opened his wallet, showing the man there was nothing in it. The man ordered Khalid to drive down Mark Street towards Main Street, then right and past Sarnia, then east around the lake to Mankato Avenue. The man seemed to be very familiar with the areas, Khalid said.
Khalid said he pleaded again with the man to let him go, but the attacker ordered him to drive to Madison, Wis. -- about a four-hour trip. They headed south on Highway 61 and took the eastbound ramp onto Interstate 90. After approximately 40 minutes after the episode began, the assailant ordered Khalid to take the French Island and La Crosse, Wis., airport exit. About one minute off the exit ramp, Khalid said he was ordered to pull off to the right side of the road and turn off the lights. It seemed a typical dark paved road, and there were no other cars so late at night, Khalid said. Still wearing the bandana that shielded his face, the abductor took out his own cell phone and called someone. The abductor told his location to the person at the other end and told him he had a ride to Madison.
After about five minutes, what Khalid thought to be a green Ford Escort or Mercury Sable pulled up and turned off the lights. The victim said a black man, 6-foot-1 with short curly hair and white shoes , approached Khalid's Honda and slid into the back seat. Khalid became more frightened, actually fearing for his life, with a second suspect in the car. Hoping to escape, he told the two men that he had some money in the trunk, thinking if he got out the car he could run. But one of the men, the Hispanic with the knife, followed him to the trunk while he searched for the money, coming up empty handed. The abductor ordered him to get back into the car. Khalid then told the two men he forgot that he did have money in his back pocket of his pants.
In fact, Khalid said, he had withdrawn a substantial sum from a Winona bank earlier in the day to pay bills the next morning: "I had to pay rent, my energy, telephone and cable bills," he said. Usually, Khalid said, he pays bills with Postal Service money orders. He handed over the envelope, which he said contained approximately $720, to the man in the back seat. The two men counted the money, then the second man pulled up the other car, and they drove off.
Shook up, Khalid said, he waited until the assailants had driven out of sight. Then he began to drive back to Winona. About five minutes into the return trip, a friend rang on Khalid's cell phone. Khalid said he couldn't talk but would be home shortly. Khalid said he isn't sure what time he arrived at his Winona apartment, where he lives with his 21-year-old brother and another man. Once home, Khalid used his cell phone to call his brother, who had already left for a third-shift job, to tell him what just happened. There was no answer. Khalid then reached his other roommate at work. Khalid told the roommate what had happened. The roommate rushed back to the apartment to console Khalid. They then went to the roommate's workplace and called police. Police said the call came in at 2:22 a.m. Police investigator Scott Bestul was assigned to the case and met with Khalid early the next morning.

Expert: Unusual elements in kidnap caseWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- A kidnapping at Winona State University last week has criminal justice prof James Kobolt scratching his head. The kidnapping doesn't fit the traditional category, Kobolt said, noting that it's extremely rare for someone to be kidnapped with the use of an instrument such as the knife. Also, the fact that the victim was released and the vehicle was not taken makes this a rare case, he said. Kobolt said that usually if an individual is going to kidnap someone, they follow through.
Police investigations have four main components, Kobolt said. They are: Crime scene, physical evidence, information gathered from people, and information from records and files. The crime scene requires preservation so that physical evidence can be gathered, in this case, to link the suspect to the victim, Kobolt said. He said that the likelihood of the suspect being captured all depends on the information provided by people and the amount of evidence gathered. It also depends on whether there are any suspects and if the victim can identify the suspect, he said.
Kobolt cautioned against panicking over the kidnapping "Before the WSU campus gets all worked up about this incident, they should let the police do their investigation," he said. "This is just one incident." He said that if anyone in the community hears something that will help capture the kidnappers, he or she should be concerned enough to let law enforcement know. Kobolt said, "Anyone withholding information is making our community a little less safe."

How cops investigate a kidnappingWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- The crime scene will be critical in the investigation into an Oct. 13 knifepoint kidnapping at Winona State University, said criminal justice prof James Kobolt. The first step the police take is to process the crime scene, he said. "You must get the facts," said Kobolt, himself a former police officer. Witnesses, physical evidence and specific identification characteristics of the suspect such as tattoos, piercing and facial hair are all things the police should investigate, said Kobolt. The inside of the victim's car can also be important, he said. What the kidnapper touched that could produce finger prints while inside the car may yield clues, he said.
Kobolt said that Don Walski, head of campus security, does an amazing job with security and probably is doing everything he can to help the police. Kobolt said he was not impressed with criticism that Walski's email alert to students and staff, 63 hours after the kidnapping, did not explicitly encourage campus people to be extra careful. "We are all adults here and should realize by reading the message what the physical threat is." The e-mail gave detailed information about the suspect, which is the most important information that students and staff should know about the case, Kobolt said.

"Fahrenheit" creator: Bush a liarDECORAH, Iowa, Oct. 20, 2004 -- Controversial filmmaker and liberal activist Michael Moore called on 3,200 people at a Luther College presentation to urge college students to vote and to vote Democrat. Even if people who don't agree totally with Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry should vote for him, said Moore: "How can it be any worse than it is now?" Moore was on a 60-city tour, mostly to swing states for the presidency. "Just the people in this room tonight could make the difference," he said.
Comedienne Roseanne Barr made a surprise appearance: "God help America and let's make a change!" Moore spared no words on President George W. Bush and his lieutenants , calling them liars. The WSU Greens, a Winona State University organization, took seven members to Luther College to see Moore speak. Greens member Nick Teff, who has seen Moore speak before, called Moore even more emotional than usual. "He was much more pumped and amped Wednesday," said Teff. "He is probably more emotional because it's getting closer to elections." Elections are Nov. 2 and it's not too late to register to vote, said Moore. "Get out and vote and help contribute to common good."
To the sell-out crowd, Moore said that once Democrats are in power that "our brothers and sisters will be brought home from Iraq and the war will end." That statement by Moore had everyone on there feet for a standing ovation. Moore offered an analogy that likened President Bush to a hole. ALthough Bush has tried his best. Moore said, he has dug a hole so big that it will be hard to get out of. If the president of a college was to do that or the chief executive of a company there would be no questions about it, they'd be fired, he said.
Referring to the U.S. military death toll in Iraq, Moore said a man who has made decisions that killed 1,100 people should not have a job. He said that he wasn't at KLuther to bash Republicans. In the past it was OK to be a Republican, Moore said, noting that many Republican presidents have done great things for the country. In her surprise appearance, actress Rosanne Bar mocked people who are uneducated about the election; "I'm looking forward to Bush being re-elected for another six years."

How WSU deals with a student's deathWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- The president of Winona State University, Darrell Krueger, sent a letter of condolence to family of junior Mark Wall, who died in a traffic accident Oct. 15. The three-paragraph letter expressing the university's regret, said Janet Ruggeberg, Krueger's secretary. The letter is one of many things the university does when a student dies. The student affairs office provided free transportation to funeral in Sparta, Wis., to students. Bonnie Woodford, student affairs administrative assistant, said that counseling is offered to the family and students need help dealing with a tragedy. The Student Senate sent flowers to the family and a card on behalf of the Winona State students. If student dies near graduation, Ruggeberg said, an honorary degree is sent to the family. Also, on a case by case basis, tuition may be reimbursed, she said. Krueger will meet with Dave Thorn, director of student accounts, to discuss the possibility of returning tuition to Wall's family, she said. The university is not planning a memorial service but sorority, fraternity or club may be planning hold memorials, she said.

Post-kidnapping lapses in WSU securityWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- The briefing system to inform Winona State University security guards on campus incidents did not work well after the kidnapping outside the library. Several guards, asking their names not be printed for fear of their jobs, said they were not informed about the kidnapping when they reported for duty. Security procedures require guards to be brought up-to-speed at the start of their shifts. Those guards who were briefed on the kidnapping said they were told that there was nothing they could do about it but to keep their eyes open for, as put it, "stuff like that." Asked about the lapses, security supervisor Matt Gannon said that he was not allowed to comment and that questions had to go campus security chief Don Walski. At press time, Walski could not be reached.
No guards saw the kidnapping, which occurred at 11 p.m., Oct. 13, behind the library on Johnson Street. It is not clear whether anything was recorded on surveillance cameras. At night three guards rove the main campus, checking buildings and parking lots. Other rovers are assigned to East Lake and the West Campus.

Guides tell same story: WSU is safeWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- Student tour guides who escort prospective students around Winona State University haven't reported hearing heightened safety concerns from the visiting students and their parents after the kidnapping outside the library last week. The guides, called "ambassadors," usually respond to security questions by saying they personally have never felt unsafe. Ambassador Kellie Allman said in an interview that she wonÕt change her stock answers to safety questions because of the kidnapping. When she's asked about safety, Allman said she notes that there are blue light kiosks placed strategically around campus to call for help. Also, she explains that every building has red security phones. Allman said she will not bring up the kidnapping: "It was a rare occurrence."
Cassie Stille, another ambassador, feels the same. To questions about security issues Stille tells families that the campus security staff is on duty around the clock. Stille also points that security escorts are available wherever students need to go on or off campus. Ambassador Carolyn Smith also said she doesn't consider safety a major concern.

WSU president accused of half-truthsWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- The Winona State Student Senate accused university administrators, including President Darrell Krueger, of being less than honest in presentations that encourage student support for the New University projects and programs. The Senate voted to suggest strongly that the presentations be changed to include the fact that the New University would cost $1,000 in additional tuition. The tuition surcharge is not mentioned in the presentations by Krueger and other administrators as they make the rounds of clubs and dorms to drum up support for the bundle of initiatives in the New University proposal. "The fee is a major concern to many students," student President Dusty Finke told senators. That is why, he said. that students need to be informed about the fee.
Student Vice President Tim Donahue said that he personally wants to make sure that students understand about the tuition increase and how it will affect them. Krueger has said in earlier Senate testimony that he wants to get funds to finance the New University in other ways, but increasing tuition is the only option right now. At last week's Senate meeting, Krueger took suggestions from the Senate, including what the Senate wanted to be included, but the $1,000 price tag for the New University was still unmentioned at the administration's latest presentation.
Krueger, now in his final months as university president, is struggling to patch together financing for the New University. To make the case for special funding from the state colleges system and also the Legislature, Krueger wants to be able to point to student enthusiasm for the initiatives. The initiatives include enriched academic offerings, more funding for student clubs, more internships with industry, and more study-abroad programs. Krueger wants to wrap up approvals as a finale for his 16 years as Winona State president. He retires in June.
Student Senate concern over less than forthright presentations is not the first charge against administrators for misleading statements about the New University. Academic Vice President Steve Richardson has been gigged for suggesting New University funds would help maintain Winona State's professor-student ratio, when, in fact, the ratio of full time faculty has slipped dramatically in recent years. The director of New University planning, Carol Anderson, has said that $100,000 recently added to the university's budget for student jobs is a sign of things to come if the New University proposal goes into effect, when, in fact, the $100,000 only offsets losses this fall in the number of student jobs on campus. Also, Krueger has been accused of implementing elements of the New University before all campus constituency groups weigh in, including the creation of a $100,000 position for Anderson over the summer to head the project permanently.

Trustees OK 8% two-year tuition hikeBROOKLYN PARK, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- State college system trustees voted 7-5 to reject dramatic student pleas for a tuition freeze over the next two years. After rejecting a tuition freeze, the trustees then voted 7-4 vote to approve a $66.5 million budget increase that will require annual tuition increases of 4 percent at the 32-college system that includes Winona State and Southeast Tech. Twenty students underscored their pleas for a tuition freeze by wearing wool hats, scarves, gloves and winter parkas at the trustees meeting at North Hennepin Community College. Chaumany Sysengchanh, a student at St. Cloud State University, testified that tuition increases of 30 percent over the past two years had forced him to work 25 hours a week, barely any time for homework. Sysengchanh said tuition must be kept affordable for the next generation:
"Another thing I'm afraid of is the people who grow up in my neighborhood. How are they going to school when tuition keeps going up. So I think we want to get rid of poverty, we have to make education more affordable so more students could go to school."
Among trustees voting against the tuition increase and the $66.5 million budget was student trustee Tyler Despins of Winona State. "I've got to stand firm for what I believe in, and the students I represent," Despins said.
Fifteen students testified, all favoring a freeze, through arrangement by the Minnesota State University Student Association and the Minnesota State College Student Association. They talked about difficulty meeting expenses, including rent and food. They said that tuition increases had forced them to take out more loans and that they expected to leave college with 10s of thousands of dollars of debt. MSUSA and MSCSA leaders called on the trustees to seek an additional $63 million from the Legislature instead of more tuition. After the trustees rejected the student argument, Justin Paul of the community-college association pledged to take the call for a tuition freeze to the Legislature. "We will go ahead with our campaign with the Legislature to get the additional monies for a zero increase," Paul said.

Chancellor Jim McCormick, who proposed the 4 percent tuition increase, called it reasonable. Also, he called his budget proposal -- up $66.5 million -- conservative in the slow economy and considering state revenue difficulties. Tuition, he said, is part of an overall strategy to make up for a$191 million cut by the Legislature from the system's budget last session. McCormick's budget, as approved by the trustees, is for $261 million for the next two years, with students paying $63 million of that in tuition.
The chair of the trustees, Robert Hoffman, agreed that the budget was "very conservative." He thanked the students for their input: "We had a very healthy discussion and at the end of the day, though we couldnÕt agree to freeze tuition, we share the goals of providing a quality education and providing it at an affordable price." |

WSU hold back on tuition freezeWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 --The Winona State University Student Senate voted 19-1 vote to postpone supporting the Minnesota State University Student Association's tuition freeze campaign until after the MSUSA conference this weekend. At-large Sen. Erin Feger said that Senate wanted to wait to get all the facts. The tuition freeze campaign is intended to halt the rise in tuition, but already the state college system trustees have rejected the freeze and approved a chancellor-recommended budget that will raise tuition 8 percent over two years. At the Winona State Student Senate meeting on Wednesday, student President Dusty Finke said that the tuition freeze campaign is important for all students, both those currently enrolled and future students: "Someone has to fight against the continuing hike in tuition increases. The tuition increase has to stop."
The only hope now for the Minnesota State University Student Association campaigning is at the Legislature when it considers the 4 percent increase that the college system trustees is recommending for each of the next two years. Winona State tuition and fees rose 13.6 percent this past year, tuition alone from $4,548 last year to $5,165 for a typical student.

Kidnap victim: Please shield my nameWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- The Winona State University freshman who reported being kidnapped at knifepoint and robbed last week asked police not to release his name, said police investigator Scott Bestul. The victim feared his abductors might come after him, Bestul said. On campus, friends of the victim have shielded him from reporters. Bestul declined in an interview to discuss the status of the investigation or provide more details than were released at a routine daily briefing two days after the crime. "I am not going to give out information at this time because it could give an advantage to the suspect," he said. Bestul confirmed, however, that no arrests have been made.
Bestul offered these personal safety tips for students who have heightened concern for their safety:
Be alert when walking home at night and avoid dark areas. If you suspect someone is following you, run in a different direction or run toward a well-lit area where someone can see you.If possible, walk with a group of people whom you know.If you are walking alone at night, ask for a campus security escort. The campus security office is open 24 hours a day.
Carry mace or an alarm system to scare off an attacker. These protection items can be purchased at Valley Security at 128 W. Second St.If a suspicious person approaches, yell "Fire." People are more willing to call for help if they hear someone shouting fire.

"He made everyone feel important and so loved," she said. "He was always smiling." Wall was also described as being a wonderful listener and a great friend. "When you were talking to Mark you were his world and nothing else mattered at that moment," Hunt said.
Jeremy Haun, a best friend since high school, remembers Wall as "a happy individual that never let things get to him." Haun described Wall as someone who "always put other people first before himself." Chris Anderson, another friend, said, "Every person he ever met remembered him as such a great guy." About the funeral in Sparta, Wis., Hunt said: "We were at the cemetery, and it was a cloudy day, but as soon as the priest started talking there was break in the clouds, the sun showed through and a bald eagle was flying overhead the whole time."
Said Haun: "To me, Mark was the classic definition of human." What stuck out is was that Mark Wall "took everyone for face-value," Haun said.

Security chief: WSU relatively safeWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- Even though a Winona State student reported being kidnapped at knifepoint and robbed last week, students do not need fear any additional threat to their safety, said university security chief Don Walski. It was an isolated incident, he said. "Anytime a violent crime occurs, we take notice and take necessary action," said Walski, adding that crime, even violent crime, is unusual at Winona State. The latest statistical report on campus crime, for 2002, lists 14 burglaries, one rape, one fire due to arson, and no aggravated assaults. The report, however, is strictly limited to campus and does include assaults, rapes and other crimes in the campus neighborhood.
Security guards haven't been told to change how they go about their work because of the kidnapping, Walski said. He noted, though, that extra attention is being paid to the areas around the library, where the abduction happened. Walski said that usually within 24 hours after a violent crime, a campus wide e-mail goes out to students informing them of the incident. Walski acknowledged it took 36 hours after last week's kidnapping before an alert went out because he needed to get the details sorted out. For some students, the alert did not arrive in their e-mail in-boxes for more than 60 hours, which Walksi could not explain.

"I am sorry to see him go, but I am forever grateful that he was a part of my life," Albert said. He was a junior. Albert said that Wall liked to listen to music, hang out with friends and ride his bike. At the wake in Sparta, Wis., on Tuesday, an estimated 500 people, many from Winona State, paid their respects.

A rose marked Mark Wall's absenceTWO RIVERS, Wis., Oct. 20, 2004 -- The wedding to which Winona State University junior was driving when he was killed continued as scheduled Saturday with his loss on everyone's mind. An uncle placed a single white rose on the spot where Mark, a groomsman, would have done his part. In Sparta, Wis., meanwhile, his father, Karl Wall, said it was odd timing that Mark only two weeks ago had told his mother that an anatomy and physiology class at Winona State had inspired him to donate his organs for medical purposes. "We wanted to honor his wishes," his father said. The funeral was Wednesday in Sparta with cremation.

Prof sees impact in Kerry debate lineWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- Presidential candidate John Kerry had an effective line in the second presidential debate, "Soldiers win wars. Presidents win peace," said Winona State University political science prof Matt Bosworth. But, he added, the line may be hard to translate into solving the controversial Iraq war's aftermath. Bosworth felt that Kerry was effective in the debates in defusing the charge in Bush campaign commercials that he's "wishy-washy.
Although not wanting to show favoritism in an interview about the debate, Bosworth said he thought Kerry did a better job on the issues while Bush did a better job keeping optimistic. Bosworth felt that Bush was at his best in the third and final debate: "Bush conveyed an optimistic attitude." Bosworth said the debates offered voters "a sense of who these people are."

Mark Wall remembered as quiet studentWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- After a job-shadowing experience at the Gundersen Lutheran medical center in La Crosse, Wis., Mark Wall was finding himself academically. At the time of his death Friday in a two-car collision in eastern Wisconsin, Wall, 20, was in the process in declaring himself a major in the Winona State University exercise science program. Officially the registrar still listed Wall, a junior, as an undeclared major, but the Gundersen experience was shaping his career planning. Prof Dawn Anderson, who had Wall in one of her classes, described him as a quiet student. Prof Randy Miller, chair of health, exercise, and rehabilitative sciences, expressed the department's condolences: "This is certainly a terrible tragedy, and we are deeply saddened." Services were scheduled for Wednesday in Sparta, Wis., where Wall grew up.

Sparta teachers remember Mark WallSPARTA, Wis., Oct. 20, 2004 -- Teachers at the Sparta high school have fond memories of Mark Wall, a 2002 grad who went on to Winona State University, said teacher Lynette Livingston. Wall died Friday in a car wreck. Wall was active in DECA and FBLA business clubs, said Livingston. He was the kind of kid who didn't want to miss a thing, Livingston said. Mike Montgomery, the high school athletic director, said that Mark didn't fall into any special school groups. He was a friend to everyone, he said. "Prom committee and soccer are two activities where I personally saw Mark's energetic spirit," said Montgomery. Mark participated in sports, Livingston said, but he also could be found in the crowd cheering on fellow students. He was a kind-hearted guy who didn't have any enemies, said Livingston.
Livingston said when Mark came into the room students would say, "I need a Mark Wall hug." Mark was a caring and compassionate friend, she said. As a student, Montgomery said, Mark was disciplined, conscious and responsible. He enjoyed high school for what it was and lived it to its fullest, he said. Some people say high school years are the best, and Mark did make his great, but he knew there was more to come and was always looking to the future, Montgomery said. At Winona State, Wall was studying exercise science.
No formal memorial service has been planned at the high school, Livingston said, noting that Wall had been out of school three years. Livingston said that students who do remember Mark have been talking with each other in the halls and with counselors. Students and teachers will be attending the wake and funeral to say good-bye to a great kid, said Livingston.

Profs give Pelowski three stars, not fourST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- State Rep. Gene Pelowski, D-Winona, had a 75 percent favorable rating based on his votes on four bills on which positions were taken by the union that represents professors at the seven state university campuses. Russ Stanton, chief lobbyist for the Inter-Faculty Organization, said that Pelowski parted with the IFO only over amending the state constitution to recognize gay marriage sand domestic partners. Here is Stanton's summary:

GENE
PELOWSKI
WInona legislator |
Public employee contracts. The IFO favored ratification of public employee labor contracts by the Legislature. The alternative would have been a reversion to 1999-2001 contracts without pay increases and raises for seniority. Pelowski voted for ratification.
Wage freeze. The IFO opposed a Republican proposal to freeze wages of public employees for two years. Pelowski voted against the freeze.
Bonding bill. The IFO favored state borrowing to build, renovate and repair construction projects statewide, including major state university projects at Bemidji, Mankato, Moorhead, St. Cloud and Winona. The proposal failed in the Senate with two votes short of the required three-fifths majority. Pelowski voted for the borrowing.
Gay marriage. The IFO opposed a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages and state recognition of domestic partners. Pelowski voted for the proposed amendment.
Pelowski is seeking re-election on Nov. 2. His Republican challenger is Nick Ridge, a 2004 Winona State grad.

WSU creating 50-60 student jobsWINONA, Minn., Oct. 20, 2004 -- Winona State University plans to create more student jobs in coming weeks with $100,000 in additional funds. Greg Peterson, director of financial aid, said he expects that an additional 50 to 60 jobs by December. That will put the number of students employed on campus beyond 1,000. "As departments submit the proper forms we will be issuing the money for them to create these jobs," said Peterson. Department funding requests will be screened to be assure that their proposed new jobs provide skills and knowledge that students can use now and throughout their lives, he said. The new jobs will be limited to students who are currently eligible for the work-study program.
"In the next few years we hope that there might be funding for regular student help," said Peterson, noting the work-study programs have more stringent financial-need requirements than most on-campus student jobs. Students the work-study programs can work no more than 10 hours a week and can earn a max of $2,100 per year. Although not a large sum of money, Peterson said the jobs benefit both student and the university. The possibility of new jobs is beginning to excite students, said Peterson. One reason is that the minimum wage for state-funded jobs is higher than most off-campus jobs. Work-study hourly wages are $8.40 compared to the $5.15 to $6 elsewhere around town.

Urine turns WSU darkroom pungentWINONA, Minn., Oct. 19, 2004 -- A leaky urinal has been boarded over and the water turned off in the aging Phelps masscom building at Winona State University, temporarily halting a drip from a rusted pipe that smelled up a basement darkroom used by 50 photography students a week. The problem was discovered Sept. 28. Pending repairs, janitor John Tlougan periodically dumps a can of water to flush the other urinal. The problem was first spotted by Ellen Severson, manager of the darkroom. Severson wiped up the puddle and reported a leak she assumed was from a janitor's closet upstairs and could be easily fixed. That evening Ali Coates, a darkroom worker, was so overwhelmed by the smell that she had to open the door for ventilation. When Coates realized it was urine dripping on her, she called security guards, who summoned maintenance workers.
The next morning Severson found the smell worse than the day before. A garbage can was placed under the drip, but that hardly was a solution. Photo student Colleen Harer, in the darkroom on a class project, called the smell unpleasant: "It was a pungent odor, at least around the trash can that was collecting the urine drip."

AGAIN, WINONAN EDITOR
TACKLES EDSTROM
If anyone should now be sensitive to racial issues, it's Post co-owner John Edstrom. After a November 2003 sports column on continuing poor Viking performances, Edstrom was dragged over the coals for either a racist or an insensitive reference, depending on how much benefit you give to a doubt. Edstrom had written: "Perhaps one of the Africans playing the game has exposed them to an exotic virus like the ebola."
When Brian Krans, the news editor at the Winonan student newspaper at Winona State University, went after Edstrom, the level of campus disgust at Edstrom's column generated dozens of reaction articles in the student press and letters to every opinion forum in the city. Mayor Jerry Miller had no choice but to remove Edstrom from a city board that makes personnel recommendations.
Now Edstrom has done it again -- and so has the Winonan. Student editor Adam Crowson has taken issue with an Edstrom sports column Sept. 29 with the headline: "Crips 27, Bloods 22." Crowson's beef: The head implied that the Vikings and Bears were a bunch of gangsters. Crowson noted too that the majority of Crips and Bloods are black. Crowson called it "just another racial mark" that "has no place in a newspaper."
Crowson, who feels strongly about journalism as a profession, said: "For this to happen twice in the same column and in less than year's time is just stupidity at its finest. Edstrom should be dragged before the Minnesota News Council." Crowson said he might file the complaint himself, although didn't specify whether he would do so for stupidity, racism or insensitivity.
The last time the Post was carried before the News Council, the paper refused to cooperate with the investigation. The Council pushed ahead anyway. In the end, the Council humiliated the Post with a public spanking.

R.I.P.: Frank MorawieckiWINONA, Minn., Oct. 19, 2004 -- A retired St. Mary's University employee, Frank Morawiecki, died at a nursing home at age 85. Born in Poland, he moved to the United States after World War II.
Film-maker Moore assailing "slacker" DECORAH, Iowa, Oct. 18, 2004 -- The Campus Greens at Winona State University are arranging transportation to a speech by Bush-bashing film-maker Michael Moore at Luther College in Decorah. Moore is on a campus speaker circuit that he's calling his Slacker Uprising Tour. His June propagandist film, "Fahrenheit 911," his driven the Bush re-election campaign crazy with implied incompetency after the 9/11 attacks and collusion with Saudi oil interests for invading Iraq. On this 60-city speech tour Moore is attacking Bush's record in the National Guard during the Vietnam period. The Luther Democrats are sponsoring the speech.
Moore is a former staff writer for Mother Jones magazine and an activist with the Ralph Nader consumer movement. His book, "Stupid White Men and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation," was named British Book the Year. Some media and political experts say his "Fahrenheit 911" has ushered in a new era of attack films in U.S. politics. His other films include "Roger and Me," an attack on General Motors," and "Bowling for Columbine," an attack on the National Rifle Association. |

City keeps Borkowski for towingWINONA, Minn., Oct. 18, 2004 -- Winona State University students, whose cars are towed for winter street plowing more than any other group, will still have to trek to suburban Goodview to recover their towed cars. The City Council unanimously voted to give Borkowski & Salvage exclusive towing rights, turning down a proposal by Allied Towing Co., which would have towed to an in-city storage lot. No Winona State Student Senate representatives were at the Council meeting to express a student perspective. The Borkowski lot, at at 5035 W. Sixth St., is more than half again as far from Winona State as Allied's lot at 1160 Frontenac Drive. At the Council meeting, Bernie McGuire, vice president of Allied, asked: "Does this really improve public service?"
Police Chief Frank Pomeroy favored Borkowski, with which his department has a long relationship. Pomeroy said Borkowski has more tow trucks, in-door storage and 24-hour staffing. Even so, McGuire said that Allied could have offered everything that Pomeroy had specified in detailing the level of service that had been posted in a legally required public notice. McGuire said the city had no obligation to an exclusive deal and could have chosen multiple providers.
COMMENT:
SHRIVELING THE UNIVERSTY
OUTSOURCING HIGHER-ED
To cut costs and pump revenue, Winona State University wants to outsource its main product, classes, to cheap foreign institutions and charge its customers, students, the going U.S. tuition. Look carefully at the New University plan. You'll find, disguised as enriching foreign learning experiences, a grandly expanded scheme to set up classes abroad through foreign institutions. Students would pay not only Winona State tuition but also, in one form or another, additional charges to the foreign institutions.
It's a scheme only bean-counting managers could love -- all that tuition revenue and no faculty salaries or physical plant expenses. The only cost to Winona State would be the paperwork. Although touted as student-friendly, the plan insidiously would pluck more money, thousands of dollars, from each participating student's pocket.
It's also un-American, this outsourcing. Millions of U.S. jobs have been lost because of corporate outsourcing of work to India, Thailand and other countries with low labor costs. For a university this is worse. Outsourcing classes on a grand scale means a smaller faculty at home. Fewer faculty translates into fewer courses and fewer curriculum choices for students. Consider the impact on a small department, say theater, with three profs and a bare-bones curriculum. If a third of the students are in Thailand studying theater, the university can cut payroll by a third by dropping a prof and a third of the class offerings.
Although profitabile, this is short-sighted and does not a great university make. The home university withers. It's just like Maytag shutting down and going to Mexico, like AT&T outsourcing to Argentina, and Citibank to India. U.S. operations shrivel, American jobs are lost. Only the shareholders are pleased.
For students who want a valuable and affordable foreign learning experience, go buy a $200 ticket to Belize or a $600 ticket to Bangladesh and spend the summer, spend a year. If you want a structured curricular expedience, enroll directly in a university while youÕre there. You'll save thousands of dollars by cutting out the brokerage fee that the schemers behind Winona State's New University envision. The experience will be just as enriching and even more satisfying because you did it yourself.

Multiple charges face WSU kidnappersWINONA, Minn., Oct. 18, 2004 -- Two men who robbed a Winona State University student of $700 after a kidnap-hijacking from campus Wednesday face serious criminal charges, said Deputy Police Chief Tom Williams. Charges could include kidnapping, making terroristic threats, second-degree assault, robbery and false imprisonment, Williams said. No arrests have been made. The kidnapping occurred on Johnson Street outside the Winona State University library at 11 p.m. The victim, a Saudi Arabian student in his second year at Winona State, said he was forced at knifepoint to drive to an Interstate 90 exit near La Crosse, Wis. He said he was released by his captors after giving them $700.

Faculty seeks search diversity| WINONA, Minn., Oct. 18, 2004 -- The Winona State Faculty Senate is seeking a diversity of profs to serve on the search committee for a new university president, said faculty President Mary Kesler. "We will try to have a balance in race, gender and length of service," said Kesler. The committee will be named by state Chancellor Jim McCormick, probably this week, after a review of recommendations froms faculty, students and other constituencies. Kesler said that having both new and old professors on the committee wis important: "The older professors have been around longer and have more experience but the newer professors will be living with it." |

COMMENT:
MORAL LOW ROAD
WSU KITCHEN WAGES
The Winona State University Student Senate has chosen the moral low road. Instead of championing the cause of the underprivileged and exploited, in this case campus kitchen workers, mostly foreign born and of dark skin, the Senate decided to do nothing. The issue was whether to insist that Chartwells, the campus cafeteria vendor, bring wages up to par for kitchen workers.
The Senate again has failed to recognize and use its potential politically to effect change. Either there's a crisis of imagination or plain old laziness.
The greatest disappointment was business Sen. Mick Reis. Usually Reis revels in championing minority causes. Not this time. Reis concluded there was no easily palatable solution to Chartwells' decision to freeze kitchen wages, denying workers a 40-cent an hour raise awarded to all 975 other student employees on campus. Reis told fellow senators to let the issue well enough alone. In effect, Reis said the Senate should involve itself only in win-win situations. That was not leadership. That was not courageousness.
Distressing too was student Vice President Tim Donahue, who discouraged the Senate even from registering an objection. Donahue said it would be like telling a company that repaves a dorm parking lot how to run its business. The right-headed retort to that is easy: The university can put all kinds of stipulations on contractors. Ever heard of Affirmative Action requirements? Also, Donahue said university administrators had already endorsed Chartwells' decision. "Who are we to go against the university?" he decalred. The answer to that too is easy: "If the Student Senate doesn't go to bat for exploited students, who will?"
There are moral issues in which we look to leaders to do the right thing, not just the easy thing. The Senate failed this moral test. |
