In the School of Education, this mission is fulfilled through offering a Bachelorâs degree program in Education which prepares teachers for certification in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Special Learning Disabilities. Business Education, Instructional Resources and Secondary Education. Graduate Degrees are also offered in Elementary and Secondary Education and Reading Specialization. While the major is common to most universities, the program here at Stevens Point is unique in providing experiences in the public schools during the freshman, junior and senior years. For the student working toward the teaching profession this opens up many opportunities to find out the real needs in education on a first hand basis. 1st Row: T. Hayes. H. Kuse. B.

Hodges. E. Yener. E. Zocher Economics is the study of man's activities as he goes about the business of earning and enjoying a living. An improvement in the quality of life is the ultimate goal of any economic system. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Department of Economics and Business Administration is in the College of Letters and Science and offers a liberal arts education leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The faculty strives to stimulate and instruct the student as he works toward his degree. A student may major in Business Administration, and receive an automatic minor in Economics, or he may earn a double major in Economics and Business Administration. Students may also participate in Phi Beta Lamda, a national professional business organization for college students preparing for careers in business. History Some people, let's face it, don't like history. They don't care about mummies, mercantilism. or Manassas. They couldnât care less about the fall of Rome or the Rise of Boss Tweed. But for students actively interested in history, the History Department offers a traditional History major and minor which are broadly based programs designed for the well-rounded education. Course work is required in United States, European, and Non-western History, and concentrations are available in each of these areas as well. In addition to traditional courses and areas, courses are offered in Afro-American history, Indian history and other newer areas of historical study. 1st Row: 0. Dietrich. F. Crow. C. Rumsey. H.

Wrone 6 The Department of Political Science offers courses in the fields of American politics. public administration, state and local governments, comparative governments, political theory, international relations and public law. Most political science majors at UW-Stevens Point have chosen it because it provides a liberal general education with a focus on the interesting subjects of politics and governance. Three active student organizations affiliated with the department provide nonclassroom experiences for their fellow students and the community. The Political Science Association (PSA) is best known for bringing candidates for public office to UWSP and Central Wisconsin. The Student Legal Society (SLS) sponsors appearances on campus of notable figures from academia, the courts, the legal profession, and the criminal justice system. Finally, the Public Administration Student Organization (PASO), plans to provide similar services for those interested in public administration as a craft or a career. Political Science L-R: J. Finn.

In the biology department a Master of Science in Teaching degree and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree are offered in addition to an undergraduate major in a variety of concentrations. Regardless of the area of concentration within the field of biology, each major will have some work in the surveys of the animal or plant kingdom, genetics, ecology and physiology as well as an exposure to advanced work in specialized courses. The student has an opportunity to extend his training into numerous correlated studies such as anthropology, chemistry, communication, computer science physics and areas in the conservation field such as resource management, forestry, soil science, wildlife and water resources. Field studies are also available during the summer session on campus or at a biological station such as the one located on Clam Lake in nothern Wisconsin. To ensure an integrated learning experience numerous student organizations centered on ecology and the areas of biology encourage the student to participate in their activities. e Sociology And Anthropology The Department of Sociology offers minimal core requirements and a large variety of specialized sub-concentrations tailored to fit individual needs and interests. These offerings include Family Life Cycle Studies. Social Welfare. Criminal Justice. Urbanism and Regional planning. Environmental. Social and Cultural change. Social Theory Th-ought. Archeology and Ethono-graphy. Students pursuing subconcentrations in Social Welfare or Criminal Justice may take advanced field-work experience with cooperating agencies located in central Wisconsin.

Although this is usually done through the one-on-one tutoring sessions, the Writing Lab also has an excellent reference collection, as well as numerous handouts covering different aspects of writing. In addition, the Lab sponsors various presentations and workshops throughout the year, including the annual âRites of Writing . Independent writing 157 257 357 is conducted through the Lab, as is a practicum for teachers of composition. Some of the writing the Lab handles includes essays, short stories, reports, theses, resumes, and poetry. Students who come to the Lab can also work on the mechanics of writing such as organization, punctuation, and grammar. â Sandy Biba 74 Reading And Study Skills Lab Students who want to learn to study more effectively, learn more in less time, or find the way to better grades can visit the Reading and Study Skills Lab on the third floor of the Collins Classroom Center. At the Lab qualified instructors provide individualized instruction to students who want to improve their reading speed and comprehension, develop better memories to help retain facts from textbooks and notes, learn more effective methods of in-class notetaking, and learn how to study more effectively for tests. Who says you canât learn nothinâ in college? At the Reading and Study Skills Lab you can learn how to learn! â Al Peters The Faculty Advising Center for Students is a source of information and advising for all students, but particularly those who are undecided about which major to take or have questions about their present major.

As the members put it: Our Co-op is food, pec a community and an expression to another community saying, He an alternative, welcome . 82 Allen Center Allen Center provides a small, relaxed eating and study atmosphere. Decor of dark wood and red compliment its railroad theme. Two lounges and the materials center with a small but wide variety of available materials give the student's needs priority. A common ground for students to meet and have a sub sandwich or a snack is the Peck Stop or Delicatessen located in Allen Center Basement. A lively dining atmosphere is frequently achieved by polka bands, pantomine groups and special dinner nights for the 850 students who patronize it each day. Student Foods Manager, Randy, summed up the mood of Allen Center when he said. The intermingling of people and the closeness are its biggest attributes in knowing students on a first name basis. I was having a nice bowl of chili and my girlfri gasped and said. It winked at me! â Clarey Bussey's dead eye aim with a jello cub⏠20 yards put an end to Steve Ardnt's dinner a sploshed into his milk. ... And then the chocolate pie hit him square the face â just like on T. V.! 84 When asked about the funniest incident that happened at the food center this year, one notable connoisseur answered. This bunch of people named Saga serving this ridiculous food.â Debot Center Becky Hansen spilled a whole bowl of pickled beets in the doorway of the most travelled area outside the kitchen area. Sandy Jonett was laughing while Becky hurriedly was trying to scoop the beets back into the bowl, before anyone could see her. But ... it was too late you can't hide a whole bowl of spilled pickled beets! The funniest incident that happened in the food center this year was: First semester, we the men of 4th East Watson Hall were sitting at a rather crowded circular table in the Orange Room. One of our wingmates. Fonz. wanting to keep with the group, set his tray down on the table. Since there were no free chairs at the table he boldly strode over to a nearby chair and deftly hoisted it above his head with one hand. While walking back the chair began to tip and his grip began to slip. The chair fell over the shoulder of an unsuspecting girl onto a densely crowded table miraculously missing everything but an ash tray which it neatly split in two. Embarrassed he tried to salvage the last shreds of his dignity by helping to clean up the mess; at the insistence of the afflicted. 86 The cook called it food Designed with spaciousness in mind Debot Residence Center accomodates student's needs on a small and large scale. Its three dining rooms serve 1400-1600 people a day in a congenial atmosphere for eating, relaxing and meeting friends. When study or meetings are on the night's agenda, two conference rooms, the two study lounges and a well-equipped materials center provide the proper settings. Emergency purchases of candy, stationery or supplies can be made at The Shoppe located in the basement. A television lounge and Debot's new Pizza Parlour with the Polish-ltalian touch are favorite places that students crash after a hard day of classes. Housing 1968 â Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy assassinated; Pueblo incident; American death toll in Vietnam reaches 20.000 after seven years of fighting; Jackie remarries; Soviets invade Cze-choslavakia; Nixon edges Humphrey in election. The original idea for an article on the last ten years in the history of the residence hall program was based on at least one slightly erroneous assumption: that there was as much going on in the program as in the rest of the world. Being of years too tender to have participated, I seemed to have already romanticized about the late sixties as the era of the second enlightenment. The establishment was getting kicked in the balls, students and minorities were demanding changes and getting them, my next door neighbor was an honest to long-hair Milwaukee hippie, and although my limited historical perspective made it appear to me as if it were all happening on a daily basis, I recall it as being goddam interesting if for nothing else than listening to my parents working-class commentary on the handbasket the world was going to hell in. But while Father Groppi was leading blacks across the viaduct, some things were already gelling in Stevens Point. Since the late sixties there have been policy changes in the highly visable area of student control, but the housing program in 1968 was essentially the same as today. The establishment of a professional housing staff working closely with students. a balance of the sexes in residence hall clusters, and a philosophy of commitment to student development were ideas that had taken firm hold at UWSP under the direction of Fred Leafgren and others. Tending more to reflect changes in the folkways of society as a whole than in housing philosophy, much of the new âfreedomâ offered dormitory students during these years came as a result of pressures from younger housing staff members rather than from students. Perhaps the best example of this is the subject of womenâs hours. Dennis Jabs Lorraine Olski 88 Mary Weaver Taken from the residence hall student s handbook for 68 69. the following schedule of women's hours is specified: Mon.-Thurs. Fri.-Sat. Sun. freshmen 11:00 1:00 midnight sophomores-w O parental permission midnight 1:30 midnight sophomores- w parental permission midnight no hours midnight juniors + seniors midnight w o parental permission 1:30 midnight juniors -f seniors w parentai permission no hours no hours no hours women over 21 no hours no hours no hours Somehow the directors of women s residence halls got the notion that this was a bit unfair since there were no hours for men of any class standing at any class standing at any time. The implied concern was of course for the protection of women and for the appeasement of parents who could rest assured their daughter would not be allowed available to the alcohol invigorated desires of the not so academically inclined males. But after swallowing hard once or twice the policy was first liberalized in 69-70 and abolished the year after. The first immediate effect of the policy change was a decrease in the number of reported injuries for people falling out of dorm windows while trying to get back in after hours. No figures were available on unwanted pregnancies. Another housing policy that survived Victorian England by 100 years spoke to the matter of visitation. Prior to 1967 the only visitation permitted was a few hours of 'holiday open house' on the afternoons before school was out for Thanksgiving. Christmas, and Easter. This applied to lounge areas only. However during the 67-68 school year a major policy change occurred, allowing male-female visitation in living areas from 1 to 5 pm on Sunday afternoons. The matter of having the door open the diameter of a standard waste paper basket and both feet on the floor was no joke, non-compliance could bring severe penalties. Despite fears that some students who couldn't control themselves would abuse this permissive new standard, no such problems materialized and visitation policy survived to be expanded the following year. 1969 â Unemployment figure hits 15 year low of 3.6%; Sirhan Sirhan convicted; Namath retires, unretires; Judy Garland dies; First moon-landing; Manson murders; Mets win world series; Draft lottery initiated. By fall of 1969, visitation was permitted on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with each hall council deciding on a visitation schedule within established limits. Hours were gradually expanded over the next few years with no major changes in policy occurring until the UW system merger in 1972, when after a brief moratorium on expanding visitation hours on any campus in the newly merged system, the royal edict came down permitting a maximum of 17 hours of visitation a day. This remained in effect until 1975 when the regents decreed each campus could autonomously decide on whatever type of visitation policy best suited their needs. To date Chancellor Dreyfusâ definition of those needs remains in effect at UWSP. But while attitudes toward student responsibility and personal freedom were changing during these years, much emphasis remained on supervision, only later did it shift in practice to providing opportunities as opposed to imposed order. The intent of housing policy to shape a student lifestyle extended well beyond life in the halls themselves. A prime example of this in loco parentis mentality that was still evident in much housing policy is found in the 68-69 handbook for resident hall students. Included in this document of sexist dogma is a complete chapter on campus etiquette. Covered in detail are such items as how to make introductions, how to respond to invitations, proper dress for various social occasions, and a section on proper techniques for dining in residence centers that would make Amy Vanderbilt look like a piker. 90 So you know that I neither lie nor exaggerate. let me reproduce a page from the campus etiquette section, titled âCommon Courtesiesâ: Take your best manners with you everywhere you go on campus. If you are unsure of proper social usage, brush up on your manners before you go out. Good manners will soon become natural and easy. Here are some miscellaneous reminders: 1. A man rises when a woman stands or comes into a small room or into the group of which he is part. He finds for her a place to sit, or he remains standing while the woman stands. 2. A man assists a woman with heavy packages or with her coat. 3. A man opens the door for a woman, either when entering or leaving a room or building or when getting in and out of a car. 4. A woman allows time for the man to extend the courtesies. 5. A woman accepts the courtesies extended with a thank you and a smile. 6. Always be on time for a conference. If you cannot make it. be sure to let the other person know. 7. Remember to knock on the professorâs door before entering his office. If he is busy, wait in the hall. When entering, introduce yourself to refresh his memory. 8. Do not embarrass others by public displays of affection. 9. When the sign says âNo Smokingâ, that is what it means. Cigarette smoking is often obnoxious to the non-smoker. Ask your companions if they mind before you smoke. Be sure to offer a cigarette to all in your group. 10. Borrowing is a personal thing: some do and some donât. Always ask permission of the owner. If you do borrow something, return it in good condition. 11. Remember to always be yourself. Be poised, friendly, and happy. A smile goes a long way. 12. Whenever in doubt, think of the other personâs comfort and of how you would like to be treated. it kind of serious contemplation commands such a somber look upon the face of Tony on. 1970 â Kent State murders; 4,180 Americans die in Vietnam; Vince Lombardi dies; House passes Equal Rights Amendment. In 1970 it seems that some light began to be visible at the end of a long, dark tunnel. The more ridiculous sections of student handbooks that attempted to prescribe personal behaviors had been deleted Men and women living in residence halls had increasing opportunities to be together under natural circumstances. And there was even talk about the possibility of UWSP having coed dorms in the near future. As it turned out. the coed living issue proved to be less of a concern for those worried about the erosion of the academic ideals of freshmen than would the breakdown of another entrenched âelement of the unreality of dormitory life, the no-alcohol policy, in years to come. 1971 â Manson convicted: Calley convicted: Audie Murphy dies; Wage and price freeze: 41 die at Attica; 18-year-olds vote for the first time. In the fall of 1971. UWSP put a feather in its progressive cap with the opening of three coed residence halls. Again an example of what seemed a dramatic change in housing policy was actually a natural outgrowth of the Albertson philosophy of balancing the sexes and creating a less artificial environment for men and women to live together in. As one of the first campuses in the state to offer a coed residence hall program, there was considerable concern voiced by some more conservative parents who felt this situation created an undeniable incentive to group sex. However the success of the program speaks for itself, as today all but three of the residence halls on campus are coed. I personally enjoyed my experiences in coed residence halls, even though I never did find out where the group sex was going on. 1972 â Death penalty declared illegal: J. Edgar Hoover dies; Wallace shot; Fischer beats Spaasky; Nixon beats McGovern; Vietnam ⢠overâ. The 72-73 school year brought with it a piece of state legislation that would eventually reshape many student social patterns, and create several new traditions at UWSP. This was the year of alcohol emancipation for 18-year-olds both within the city limits of Stevens Point and later in the residence halls themselves. Apprehension about the possible effects of the new law among housing staff was fueled by a student attitude suggestive of little kids waiting for Christmas. On the evening the cork was legally let off the bottle, resident assistants were required to stay up well past bartime to help manage the anticipated drunken horde of students returning to the halls. Much to the surprise of some hall directors who had been prepared for battle maneuvers, the evening passed without incident and the sun came up in the east the next morning. Although the law did soon begin to alter student drinking patterns as it was no longer necessary to travel outside the city limits to have a drink, it did not immediately effect any changes in residence hall policy which still completely prohibited alcohol. And while students were gradually invading the square and displacing townspeople, the housing department was grappling with and before housing dropped residence hall prohibition, one former RA told me it was like enforcing an admittedly unreal situation . But finally in the spring of 1973. students were allowed the right to drink in residence halls, and lo. the sun still came up in the east. 92 1973 â Agnew resigns: Ford appointed VP; LBJ dies; Billie Jean King beats Bobby Riggs; J.R.R. Tolkein dies By 1973 the residence halls had fairly well emerged into mod ern times. Students were for the most part allowed to live like normal people capable of taking care of themselves. Housing policy emphasis had shifted strongly to reflect the âopportunity, responsibility, involvement parlance of student handbooks which had been little more than sugar-coated jive in previous years. Concern now was for. as Mel Karg put it. clientele satisfaction . 1974 â Contrived gas shortages; Nixon resigns; Ford becomes President; AJi regains title. This year found your humble author separated from Mom and Oad for the first time and living within the warm walls of Knutzen hall. Despite fears I would end up with an actively recruiting homosexual or brain damaged drug freak as a roommate, my dorm experience began positively with a roommate disposed toward beer. pool, easy listening, and good girls that could be talked into being bad. Total compatibility. As a Son of the Royal Knute I found the living to be easy. Beyond basking in nostalgia, the point relative to this article is the degree of freedom I enjoyed while living in Knutzen hall during the 74-75 school year. In the all-male dorm, breaking visitation was more of a status symbol than cause for reprisal, although indiscretions that might be injurious to your RA's good conduct rating were by group definition improper. I don't recall any formal regulations regarding drinking either. A party or a quarter-barrel on the wmg might be planned or be spontaneous any day of the week. While I certainly can't generalize from my experience in Knutzen to all other residence halls. I can suggest on the basis of changes I observed in drinking and party policy in following years, that the band of control was snapping back somewhat, a reaction to a year of almost unbound freedom. 1975 â Mitchell. Haldcman. Erlichman. convicted in Watergate cover-up conspiracy: Apollo-Soyuz; Jimmy Hoffa disappears; Lynette Fromme misses. Patty Hearst arrestod: Sara Jane Moore misses. Perhaps because it's always more difficult to see things the closer they are to where you're standing. I found little to report for the 75-76 year. Sign-m practices were being phased out and the anti-alcohol vogue was phasing in strongly, partially as a reaction to the death of a Siasefi pledge after an initiation drinking ritual. A footnote would be the re opening of Nelson Hall as a coed residence for upper-level students in the fall of 76. 9 1976 â Bicentennial; Swine-flu snafu; Supreme Court lifts stay on death penalty; Howard Hughes dies; Carter elected Well I guess this will be the 'today' section of the piece. The brief history I've outlined here does show a bit of the evolution of housing policy and practice that produced one of the top programs in the country in terms of thrust of student development , by admission of Dr. Leafgren himself. But the whole story really escapes the ten year scope of this article. Many of the larger, more overt policy changes experienced in these ten years had their roots in earlier progressive doctrinal developments. As usual, practice lagged behind theory, but it was sound theory, and it was impli-mented with skill enough to make its truly innovative flavor palatable to all. 94 1977 â New York blackout; Son of Sam; Roots; Star Wars; Elvis, Bing. Grou- cho gone. When I asked student life director Fred Leafgren to characterize the changes in housing policy and attitudes over the past ten years, he said, Ten years ago we were concerned with women's hours, today we provide information on human sexuality. Indeed residence hall life has come a long way from women's hours, no visitation, prescriptions for campus etiquette, and prohibition. Development of policies and programs that offered college students the opportunity to learn from option rather than regulation, were perhaps the only possible successful responses to the demands for change coming out of the late sixties and early seventies. But even if the activist spirit of ten years ago is dormant today, the housing program will continue to survive, and should not survive in any other way, than as a response to the unique needs of each generation of UWSP students. 1978 â â Michael Louis 9!

Both players are seniors who have led the Pointers to a tie for the school's first conference championship since 1961 Giordana. 6-1. 190 pounds, became the first person in collegiate history to gain 10,000 yards total offense in a career when he gained his first 40 yards in total offense in the Superior game For the game. Giordana completed 14 of 30 passes for 187 yards and 2 touchdowns In addition, he picked up 53 yards rushing in 9 carries and scored one touchdown. Harkness. a 5-10. 200 pounder from Norwalk. Ohio, finished with four solo and eight assisted tackles from his noseguard position against the Yellow jackets The personable senior played a big role in the strong pass rush the Pointerâs applied on the Superior quarterbacks. Coach Steiner echoed this point saying. Dennis did the things that donât show up in the statistics He did a super job of pursuing and filling his lane but most of all he continually caused the rniarterbacks to hnrrv Pointer coach Ron Steiner was glad to see Giordana acquire his 10.000 yard for two reasons. Being the only person in college history to accumulate 10.000 yards total offense is a great accomplishment for Reed and his teammates But I think it also took some of the pressure off him when he did pass the mark He then went out and played his normal high powered game. Giordana Chosen Pointer Player Of The Week 10 Pointers Shot Down By Abilene, 35-7 By John Rondy Texans have always had a reputation for boasting about size, whether it be their huge state, large bodies or king sized this or that. And trye to form, the Abilene Christian football team gave Stevens Point a Texassized defeat last Saturday, whipping the Pointers 35-7 at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene. Prior to the game, the Wildcat players sounded totally confident they would whip the smaller boys from the north. Even the fans got in on the act. as the game attendance was the poorest of the year for ACU in anticipation of the rout. The Abilene newspaper displayed the same unabashed arrogance, running a totally outrageous feature story on Pointer quarterback Reed Giordana full of misquotes and slanted information. Alibis Aplenty As for the game, the Pointers were outclassed from the very start. Abilene had almost every possible advantage going for them: 1) Superior size, strength, speed and depth; 2) The game was played on their home field; 3) ACU gives scholarships to their players, thus insuring top quality at every position. Those factors, plus the fact that the Pointers had not practiced outdoors in nearly a month, turned the NA1A semifinal playoff game into a mismatch. With only one day of practice in the Texas sun, the normally efficient Pointer offense performed like a used Volkswagen. Not until late in the game did they manage a belated score. ââNot only were they bigger and stronger than we were.â said Pointer Coach Ron Steiner, ââthey were also faster. When you have 40 kids on a scholarshop program, you can control their time, making them go through an extensive weight training program.â Steiner felt the Pointers' lack of outdoor practice set them back considerably. One day of outside practice in two and a half weeks isn't enough Our performance as a team went steadily downhill since our last game of the regular season, he said. The expected showdown between the nation's top two passing teams never materialized as the Wildcats made ample use of Kelly Kent, a strapping junior fullback. Kent rushed 22 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns, including several long runs which broke UWSPâs back. He was voted the game's top back by the media. Scoring rundown The Pointers fell behind almost immediately as Kent rambled 54 yards on the first ACU play from scrimmage after the visitors had their opening drive stopped at midfield Giordana, given little or no time to find his receivers due to a constantly blitzing Wildcat defense, was unable to generate any offense in the first half. Reed never had a chance, said Steiner. Their converage of our receivers was such that we couldn't get anyone open to dump it off quick. You can rush all the men you want, but if you get the pass off quick and find men open, it won't help We just couldnât get anyone open, and they kept getting to Reed â After allowing Kentâs opening run. the Pointer defense held Mayes and the rest of the highly dangerous ACU offense without a score until late in the first half. But then it was Kent again, breaking free for a 46-yard run down to the Pointer six. Ignoring a field goal try on fourth and three, the Wildcats punched the ball in with scatback Alex Davis doing the honors A1 Drake, who really stuck it to the Texans all day long, blocked the extra point to make the score 13-0 at halftime. ACU put the game out of reach with 15 points in the third quarter, with Kent scoring on runs of 27 and two yards while Bob Cranston added a 27-yard field goal for a 28-0 lead. Giordana, finally getting some time to throw, drove the Pointers 91 yards for a touchdown. On the drive, he completed five of five passes, four of those going to favorite receiver Bill Newhouse. Newhouse hauled in an 11-yard pass on a square pattern, taking it into the end zone with the same ease he did all season long. Injuries galore Itâs hard to say why a Pointer player was lying face down (or up), with an injury on practically every other play. Maybe it was the long layoff peridod without contact. Or, perhaps the Wildcats were just too big W ha tew. the case. Stevens Point lost stando.il linebacker Don Solin early in the game with a knee injury which required surgery. Halfback Jeff Eckerson, the Pointersâ only real running threat in the game, had his bell rung and missed the entire second quarter At least a dozen other Stevens Point players were hurt over the course of the game but still played A small but enthusiastic group ol Pointer backers saw Giordana reach the 10,000 yard plateau in passing with a lowly 20 of 39 for 169 yarc performance. Eckerson gained 4⏠yards in seven carries, while catching five passes for 43 yards. The Pointers finished the season with ar 8-2-1 record. II Freshmen Score 104 Frosh Outgains Whitewater But Loses On Mistakes By Jim Braga The I'WSP freshmen football team came out on the short end of their first game of the season here Monday Sept 19 Our mistakes beat us. but I can't fault the effort and our defense played very well, considering they had their backs to the wall most of the time.â said Pointer Coach John Miech In the last one and one-half minutes of play the Pointers had a chance to win the game but quarterback Chuck Jacks was ruled to have crossed the line of scrimmage before throwing a 25 yeard touchdown pass to running back Jeff Eckerson. to give the fresh men the go-ahead score. Eckerson scored the first touchdown for the Pointers after catching a short pass from Jay Monson. then racing down the sideline to complete the 70 yard play. The other tallies for the Pointers came on a 24 yard pass from Monson to end Tim Paramski and an option run of six yards by running back Tom Meyer. Statistically, the Pointers ran for 153 yards to 96 by Whitewater The hometown freshmen also gained 261 yards through the air compared to 122 for the Warhawks. The Pointers con nected on 15 of 31 passes but were hurt by three interceptions. Whitewater did not commit a turnover in the game, while the Pointers had three costly fumbles. Coach Miech was pleased with the play of quarterback Jacks saying. Our other quarterbacks had trouble with the exchange from center and that caused most of the fumbles â He added, We should have kept the ball on the ground when we got the lead in the third quarter and it was a coaching mistake not to.â The Pointer freshmen return to action Monday Oct. 3. when they host St. Norbert College at 3:30 p.m. at the field behind the Berg and Quandt fieldhouses. If Pointers Win With Determination By Jay Schweikl The UWSP basketball team continued to play the role of giant-killer last weekend. Point upset highly touted Superior 71 -62 Friday night and trounced River Falls 75-59 on Saturday evening The Pointers are now 4-3 in the Wisconsin State University Conference race and 8-8 for the season. Fridayâs battle with the Superior Yellowjackets was a physical one matching the Pointerâs disciplined attack against the Jacket's run-and-gun style of play. The Superior squad certainly isn't the Superior team of yester-year Coach Jim Gleboff totally revamped the sagging program by recruiting a lineup which gives the Yellowjackets the appearance of a national team. Only one player Mike Stack of Superior- is from Wisconsin. There are three players from Brooklyn. N Y., six from Michigan and two from Illinois on the roster. The Jackets entered the Point game with an impressive 4-1 record, including a big 94-89 victory over previously unbeaten UW-Oshkosh 6-1). which is currently in first place. However, the Yellowjackets lacked patience and consistency in their style of play, and Point made them pay for it. Coach Dick Bennett was pleased with the victory, but was disturbed by the tenacious caliber of play. â1 didnât think the game was a clean one.'' said Bennett, who emphasized that he doesn't take a liking to that brand of basketball. Superior was the culprit of most of the violations; 24 fouls were whistled against them, while Point was guilty of 15. The Pointers took advantage of the charity shots, hitting on 21 of 25 attempts, including nine out of ten during the final four minutes of the game. The game was still up for grabs at halftime, as Point led by a mere 38-37 score. The game wouldnât have been as close had Superior shot as poorly as they did throughout the entire contest, but they shot 56 percent to hang right in there at intermission The Yellowjackets couldnât buy a bucket in the second half, as Point compensated for their disparity in quickness with a zone defense that befuddled Superior. UWS lost whatever patience it had earlier and started throwing up poor percentage shots. Only 10of 38 attempts found the-mark, as the Yellowjackets shot an icy 26 percent for the remainder of the game. Point put the game out of reach during the final four and a half minutes when they spread out into a stall offense, forcing Superior to commit costly fouls. Chuck Ruys had an outstanding night, tallying a game high 20 points, along with eight rebounds. He made a valuable defensive contribution, imtimidating Superior ace Dave Cochran and blocking several shots. Ruys had plenty of help from Phil Rodriguez and John Miron, who had 10 points each. Steve Menzel led Point to a 31-23 rebounding advantage with 11 caroms. Cochran led the Yellowjackets with 18 points, but they didn't have the balance that the Pointers did Point shot 46 percent from the floor, while the Jackets ended up with a 39 percent average. In River Falls, the Pointers faced their brawniest opponent of the season. The Falcons front line included 7-0 Brock Bentson. 6-10 ex-Wisconsin Badger Al Rudd. 6-5 Tom Hansen and 6-7 Dan McGinty. River Falls gave the Pointers all they could handle in the first half and only trailed 33-31 at intermission, but Point began to wear down the Falconâs tall timber during the second stanza. Steve Menzel, who goes 6-6. did a stellar job on the beefy Rudd, with help underneath from Charlie Ruys. Bob Schultz and Phil Rodriguez. Menzel was tough offensively too. collecting 14 points. Not to be outdone. UWSPâs guards totally dominated RF's backcourt men. John Miron and Tim Bakken scored 16 and 10 points respectively, while holding the Falconâs starters to only four points. River Fall's rookie head coach Lamont Weaver admitted that his team has a lot of kinks to iron out. He's installed a new system and the players haven't had time to adapt, but he feels that he has the makings of a good club. The Falcons managed to keep things respectable in the early stages of the second half after Point had opened up a 47-43 lead. McGinty was River Fallâs big gun, scoring 19 of his 23 total points during the half. He helped the Falcons cut the lead to 49-41, but UWSP went on another tear and stretched the gap to 61-47 with 5:21 left. From there on in the rest was elementary as Bennett let his reserves get some action. The crowd was on the edge of their seats urging the Pointers to hold âFalls below 60 points. River Falls oblidged by missing several shots at the end, and the fans headed for a local burger joint to collect their spoils. John Miron led the Point attack with 16 points, and he had plenty of help from Menzel (14), Rodriguez (12). Schultz (11), and Bakken (10). McGinty paced RF with 23 points, and Hansen and Rudd added 15 and 13, respectively. Point faced the Warhawks of Whitewater last night in a crucial conference game, and the team invade Milton for a non-conference tilt Saturday. 106 Ruys Named Player Of The Week Chuck Ruys. who is being called the elder staiesman of the Kimberly Connection as a member of the UWSP basketball team, has been named Us player of the week for the third time this season The junior center has combined with fellow Kimberly native John Miron, a sophomore, to win the award all five times it has been given out The 6-5. 220 pound Ruys received the award for his effort in the Pointers 68-60 and 65-57 losses to UW-Oshkosh and UW-Parkside respectively. In the two games, he scored 33 points by hitting 15 of 25 field goal attempts and 3 of 5 free throws. He also pulled down 9 rebounds in that span Individual game efforts saw him score 17 points against Parkside and 16 against Oshkosh For 12 games this season. Ruys leads the Pointers in scoring with 1S5 points for a 12.9 average He also has grabbed 91 rebounds for a 7.6 average this season to also lead the team. Pointer coach Dick Bennett is very appreciative of Ruys' performance thus far. Chuck is a young man in a tough spot because he is almost always oulsized, yet he is expected to do a great deal. Teams have been keying on him. yet he consistently comes up with the points. He is a tough young man who deserves to play alongside a big strong teammate. 100 10 WRESTLERS Aim For Nationals By Tom Try on Although the UWSP wrestling squad was handed its first dual meet defeat of the season by Platteville 21-16, Coach John Munson received a large dose of confidence to help boost his outlook for the future. Then in the third match of the triangular event, the Pointers showed their ability to recover as they trounced Ripon 46-3 last Wednesday in Berg Gvm. In what Munson termed an excellent match against Platteville, four Point grapplers defeated their opponents. Jeff Harrits (126), Kevir Henke (158), John Larrison (177), and Ron Szwet (167) were winners while Les Warner (118) fought to a draw. In the Ripon contest all Pointer matmen recorded victories, three coming via forfeit. Munson felt the match with Platteville showed that the Pointers could compete with the teams of the WSUC. This same Platteville team earlier tied the NAlAâs second ranked squad, UW-Whitewater. Having five teams hovering in the nationâs top thirty gives the WSUC one of its most powerful and competetive wrestling programs ever. The fine effort of Wednesday night coupled with a total upswing of the Stevens Point wrestling program leads Munson to believe that the team goal of sending an entire squad to Nationals is finally within reach. Leading the team with an impressive 14-2 won-loss record is senior Ron Szwet. Szwet, who was voted Wrestler of the Year in the conference last season, has become a strong contender for that same honor again this year. Also having outstanding seasons for Point are 118 pounder Les Warner (il-3-l) and freshman Pat Switlick (12-2). Munson considers all three men to be top challengers for conference crowns. Looking to the future, the Pointers will soon be concluding their regular season schedule. They will then begin preparing for the conference meet in Oshkosh Feb. 24 and 25. Maybe with a little luck Coach Munsonâs optimism will turn to reality and his team will capture at least five individual wins and earn a trip to the Nationals. no 11 112 Wrestlers 5 th By Sieve Swan The UWSP wrestling team overcame stiff competition and the flu bug to place fifth in the UW-Parkside Invitational this weekend in Kenosha The ten team meet was won by perennial power UW-Whitewater with UW-Parkside taking second and Marquette University third Senior Ron Szwet put on a gutty performance for the Pointers with a second place ribbon in the 167 pound bracket despite being weakened by the flu throughout the meet. âRon could barely walk much less wrestle by the time the finals came around. It was a couragious effort by him, commented equally as sick Stevens Point coach John Munson after the meet. Other Pointers who placed in the high powered meet were 126 pounders Rick Peacock and Jeff Ha iritis with third and fourth place finishes respectively and Mike Steffens with a fourth in the heavyweight class. Peacock and Harritts met for the tenth time in their careers in the finals and Peacock edged out his teammate for ftie third spot. Peacock also had the meetâs most pins (four) in the least amount of time. Munson left the meet with mixed emotions. 1 thought we did well considering the top three finishers will be in the top ten nationally. But overall. 1 thought our showing was very average despite the flu bug and calls for much hard work and dedication by our younger kids to overcome mistakes. The Pointers will host UW-River Falls and Findlay College of Ohio tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. in the Berg Gym at the university. 113 Reutz likes to spike By Al Schuette For Janis Ruetz of Racine, spiking is the most fun. That's fine with her coach, as Ruetz leads the UWSP women's volleyball team in that department. The statistics show that Ruetz has scored on 60 percent of her spikes. Coach Linda Moley attributes such success to an advanced spiking skill-directing the ball with the wrist. Normally the shoulder directs the ball and opponents have an advantage because they can see where the spike is being directed, Moley explained. âJanis is one of the few players who can hit around a block. She directs the ball with her wrist, which is hard to do. Ruetz adds that a successful spike also requires good jumping and timing. The jumping aspect is what got her interested in the sport originally. â1 was on the junior high basketball team and some of the girls said volleyball would help my jumping, she recalled. The combination of sports worked well for her. During her high school years she was named captain on the basketball team and both captain and most valuable player for the volleyball squad. Ruetz has continued in both sports at the college level. As a sophomore last year she lettered in each of them. Her volleyball talents do not end with spiking. Almost 90 percent of her serves are good, one of the best marks on the team. Janis is a well rounded player; a smart player in a game, Moley said Ruetzâs game strategy is actually quite simple, put the ball where they are not. She quickly added that it requires knowing what to watch and how to work as a team in order to be effective. The UWSP team has posted a 12-10 record so far this season The season ends Nov. 11-12 with the conference championships being held at Stevens Point. Ruetz is a junior majoring in physical education with minors in coaching and safety education. 114 115 Netters win invite The adage thereâs no place like home was never more true than this past Saturday as the UWSP tennis team took advantage of the home court and crowd to win first place in the Pointer Indoor Team Tennis Meet The Pointers won the title from the University of Ulinois-Chicago Circle with a win in the last event to be completed, the number two doubles. In that match, hometown freshman Neil Carpenter and Dave Ingles combined to record 6-0 and 7-5 wins over Chicago Circleâs Dave Stefan and PaulStubitsch. The win by Carpenter and Ingles provided the deciding point in the Pointers 5-4 win over Cirlce. The two also put on a display of excellent tennis for an appreciative crowd in the Quandt Fieldhouse. Both freshmen players also recorded wins in their respective singles matches to anchor the Pointer win according to UWSP Coach Jerry Gotham. âNeil and Dave not only won key matches for us, but each won every match they played in the tourney-including the doubles they played together,â Gotham said. Both played about as well as they possibl; could. Other wins for the Pointers were b; Jim Horneck at number six single and by the third doubles team of Bil Schulte and Horneck. UWSP Coach Gotham found thÂŤ overall performance of his team ver; satisfying I was very pleased with the play o everyone on the team, Gothan declared. âParticularly considering that in the final two matches, oui five, six , and seven players all movec up a notch when number four Bot Joehnk sprained an ankle in the second match and sat out the rest o the tournament. Jim Horneck filled in at the numbei six spot and in the number three doubles position. UWSP reached the finals with twt early round wins. In the quarter finals.

Last Friday and Saturday at the Conference Championships at Oshkosh. UW-La Crosse look first, UW-Whitewater was second with 55 points, UW-Eau Claire was third with 5! points. UWSP's number three undefeated doubles team were knocked off in the first round of play. The doubles team of Kathy Janz and Ann Okonek took second in state and the doubles team of Mary Split! and Mary Wacha took second in state at the number two position. Last year UWSP took second in state, but there were only three singles teams and two doubles teams, this year there were six singles and three doubles. I'm just happy that everyone that went to state, placed.' said Coach Kociuba Tennis players get honors UWSP tennis doubles players Ann Okonek, Kathy Janz, Mary Splitt, and Mary Wacha have been named to the Wisconsin Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Conference second All-Conference team for 1977. Selections were based on finishes by individuals and teams in the WWIAC state meet. Okonek and Janz combined for No.l doubles play and held their own against just about everyone according to Pointer coach Rosy Kociuba. âAnne and Kathy experienced much frustration in singles play at the state meet. 1 feel it is a real tribute to their competiveness the way they came back to capture second place in doubles. We expect big things from Anne next year and will truly miss Kathyâs ability and drive. Okonek and Janz are a junior and senior respectively and both hail fromSPASH. Splitt and Wacha played together in No.2 doubles and won second in the WWIAC state meet. The two did well all year in their bracket against dual meet competition. Coach Kociuba praised this yearâs play by Splitt and Wacha and expects them to help form a solid foundation for next yearâs team. âBoth girls gave solid performances all year and never gave up, no matter what the score. Both have areas that need improvement and with hard offseason work, I think they both will handle their own in singles and doubles play.â 117 Trackmen Unseat LaCrosse By Jay Schweikl The UWSP track team reached a goal which took four years to achieve, winning the Tenth Annual WSUC Indoor Championships this past weekend in Oshkosh. The inspired Pointers surprised just about everybody but themselves as they stunned pre-meet favorites LaCrosse and Whitewater with 120 points for the victory. LaCrosse mounted a furious surge in the late going to defend its title, but the Pointers countered with a flurry of their own to put the nails in the Indianâs coffin. The Indians settled for a close second place finish with 114 points. Whitewater scored 93 points, followed by Oshkosh, 76; Eau Claire. 75-4; Platteville, 42; River Falls. 21; Stout, 16-4 and Superior, 0. It was a total team effort, declared an ecstatic coach Rick Witt. Every single point was vital to our cause, and nobody let us down. Some people that we never expected to score helped us. Witt noted that the welfare of the team was foremost on the minds of several of the top individuals who gave up possible victories in their specialties to run in several events. The Pointers accomplished the victory with four first place finishesâa reflection of the depth they had. The Buntman brothers .accounted for two of the wins. Senior co-captain Don Buntman. running the last indoor race of his career, opened the meet with a victory in the two mile run Friday night. Buntman battled LaCrosseâs defending champion Tom Antzak until the final 110 yards, then opened up a three second gap at the tape to finish in 9:13.9. Younger brother Dan had a tougher time in the mile run, having to fight off a grueling sprint by Jim Ingold of LaCrosse for the victory. Buntman outleaned Ingold at the tape to win in 4:15.1. A1 Sapa, inspired over some hard luck in a previous race, finished in a first place tie with Whitewaterâs Tom Yoss in the 220 intermediate hurdles. Their times were 25.5 seconds. Senior Mike Trzebiatowski, who may have had the outstanding individual effort in the meet, pulled away from the field on the gun lap to win the 1000 yard run in 2:15.7. 1978 Wisconsin State University Conference Indoor Track Champs Trzebiatowski also finished third the 880 yard run (1:57.4) and had fastest leg on the mile relay te (50.1 , his fifth race of the meet.

Mike Trzebiatowski. a starting defensive back for the UWSP football team, was forced to use his defensive skills as he led off with a I 59 half mile. Trzebiatowski protected UWSP's position by putting one runner in the infield and hurdling several runners who went down in a tangle. At one point he was forced to run on the inside of the banked plywood track because of the shoving UWSP had help from a Sagihaw Valley (Mich ) runner who dropped the baton, thus putting his team out of contention Bork followed Trzebiatowski with a 51.3 quarter mile, and John Fusinatto ran the three-quarters in 3:12.1.

Minnesota, for the Southern Minnesota Relays 11C Power lifters pull some weight Top Pointer lifters (left to right): Bruce Lanser, Dave Turensky, Kris Knaak and Paul Dederich photo by Mark mcQu 120 By Leo Pieri While other UWSP athletic teams have been competing fiercly this year, the UWSP Power Lifting team has been quietly producing good results in their intense power lifting meets. The UWSP Power Lifting team practices all year round, and they enter their team and individuals in lifting contest throughout the United States. Under the direction of Coaches Chuck Lohman and Mike Kruger team has markedly improved every year, and has developed some real strong lifting individuals. The team competes in three types of lifting, the bench, the dead lift, and the squat. Age makes no difference in power lifting unless youâre over 50 years old. In intercollegiate lifting the competition is related to weight class, and the weight lifters have to be certified AAU members. Chuck Lohman. the coach of the UWSP Power Lifters, is himself a competitor in the power lifting reigns. Lohman is from the South Wood County Lifting group, and is probably one of the top five power lifters in Wisconsin. His credentials to teach are excellent, as he ranks 5th in the nation in dead weight lift, and 33rd in the nation among power lifters. The other UWSP Coach Mike Kruger is also an excellent lifter and teacher. Kruger talked about the type of workouts the power lifters put in, saying, They work out six days a week, with a minimum of three to six hours a day.â Kruger went on to describe some of the things involved with being a good power lifter, such as the strenuous workouts, strict diets, vitamin plans, and most importantly the dedication and proper attitude. Power lifting is becoming ever more popular in the United States and Kruger noted that even the women are lifting. âWe have a womenâs team we're training, and our clubs work together,â he said. Most of the workouts for training are done south of the county in the YMCA near Port Edwards, besides those done on the University training facilities. If anyone would like to see power lifting at its best there will be a Region Power Lifting Meet, featuring the finest lifters in the nation on May 13th at the YMCA near Port Edwards. The meet will include UWSP Coach Chuck Lohman. UWSP Power Lifting is growing every year, and UWSP coaches invite any potential lifters to try out for the team. It's an intense, demanding sport, but the rewards and enjoyment are great. Vasylles AJlexeyev can attest to that. The Central Wisconsin Powerlifting Meet was held on Sunday at UWSPâs physical education building, and the results couldnât have been much closer. UWSP and the South Wood County YMCA out of Port Edwards were dead even with 28 points apiece, but SWC YMCA was declared the winner because it had five first place finishes to two for the Pointers. Taking individual titles for the Pointers were Bruce Lancer at 148 pounds and Jeff Hintz at 220 pounds. Lancer hoisted 1090 pounds to easily outlift Bill Bergs of Marathon High School, and Hintz lifted 1295 to edge SWC YMCAâs Tony Lassa by 45 pounds. In the 132 pound class. Dave Turensky finished second with 830 pounds. Mike Gisselmann and Rob Lawson went 2-3 in the 165 pound class with lifts of 930 and 860 pounds, respectively. At 181 Kris Knaak and Paul Dederich totaled 1120 and 1000 pounds for a 2-3 finish. Dave Dowden finished second at 198 pounds with a 910 lift, and Tony Del Fatti hoisted 1170 pounds to finish third in the heavyweight category. Two state records were shattered during the competition. Angela Lassa, an exhibition lifter from the SWC âY,â broke the womenâs state record at 165 pounds with a 245 pound squat, and Chuck Lohman felled his own state record with a deadlift of 660 pounds. l 122 Womenâs Field Hockey Last Friday and Saturday, the UWSP Womenâs Field Hockey team took part in the Carelton Invitational where it tied one and lost two. UWSP was evenly matched on Friday afternoon with Grenell College where it ended up with a three all score. On Saturday the stickers were defeated by Carelton College. 4-1 and Luther College 1-0. Coach Page blames the defeats on a lack nl consistency. In the Luther game UWSP made 26 shots, but no goal could be made The losing l rend ol the I irk' hockey team was preceded by a great game with La Crosse last Wednesday. UWSP beat them 3-2, for the first time in three years. At the La Crosse game there was a total team effort â Julie Hammer. Julie Adamski and Mary Schultz were outstanding players. said Coach Page. La Crosse has only been beaten by Bemidji who are the tops in the area, but the loss to UWSP brings them down to two losses. The Stale Tournament is on November 4 and 5. We still have a chance to win state â we need performances by all and consistency. commented Coach Page. UWSP has four wins, nine losses and two ties. 1 134 Pointer harriers clean up By Jay Schwetkl The Pointer cross country team stole the show at its own invitational Saturday. They annihilated the four-team field and almost ran up a perfect score to boot. UWSP ran l-3 t-5-6 (9-10) for a solid 19 point finish. Oshkosh finished a distant second with 64. followed by Stout (77), Whitewater (129) and the Central Wisconsin Striders. The Striders didnât have a team score because they couldn't muster up a five-man team Senior John Fusinatto of Peru, Illinois, lead the Point harriers across the finish line, with a winning time of 26:12 for five miles. Fusinatto had to battle Oshkosh sophmore Keith Christenson all the way until he finally opened up a four second gap at the tape. The next four finishers wore the purple and gold of UWSP. Dan Bunt-man took third in 26:26. E. Mark Johnson fourth in 26:39. Rick Kellogg fifth in 26:40. and Jay Schweikl sixth in 26:52. The sixth and seventh men for the squad were freshman Terry Babros. who took ninth in 27:27, and Stuart Pask who finished tenth in â1 was especially satisfied with the effort of our sixth and seventh runners, Babros and Pak,â said Witt. In st races this season the large gap tween the top five and the other runners was a big problem for UWSP. Eau Claire failed to show up for the meet, and they were the team that the Pointers anticipated to be tough. It disappointed me that Eau Claire didn't make it, but 1 think we would've beaten them anyway. Witt speculated Stevens Point is ranked llth in the nation in this week's NAIA coaches poll. They finished ninth in the national meet last year. Coach Witt isnât sure if his team deserves the ranking because he hasn't seen the other rated schools. However, he said that by the end of the season the team could be up as high as sixth UW-LaCrosse. who finished third in the nationals last year, is ranked second behind Adams State of Colorado. This Saturday the Pointers will run in the Titan Invitational at UW-Oshkosh The meet gets underway at 11:00a.m.. 27:31 The sixth and seventh runners are often referred to as pushers because although they don't count in the team score, they push scorers for other teams back in the standings Coach Rick Witt was pleased with his team's performance on the soggy Wisconsin River C.C. course 1 thought we ran well, considering the course was about 20-30 seconds slow. said Witt. We also practiced very hard this week, and this affected our runners somewhat. Witt noted that just about everyone on the team improved their times from the previous meet on the same course, despite the spongy terrain Ruggers By Mike Rierdon The Stevens Point Rugby Footba Club held a meeting for veterans an newcomers on Tuesday. The SPRF is entering into its fourth season. Th first three seasons have been ver successful, and everyone is lookin for more of the same this year. The schedule for the upcomin season is the roughest the team ha ever faced. It includes the Milwauke and Madison teams, plus the Gree Bay and Madison tournaments. Th spring season will last only six week but the team could play as many a fourteen games, depending on th outcome of the tournaments. Many c these matches will include the Poir âA and âB squads. The team is composed of man. sociable people who have a great lov of the game, and the participant enjoy the post-game parties as mucl as the contests. Bad post-gam-parties are unheard of. These factors along with the friendships developei and the hangovers cured, should b enough to make anybody join thÂŤ team. Any newcomers who were not at thi March 14th meeting are still welcomi to join.

Defending champion UW-Eau Claire won the competition for the sixth consecutive year. The Blugolds totaled 372 points while the Pointerâs had 2% and third place La Crosse 276. The Pointer's won just one first place but did it in record time. The 800 yard freestyle relay team of Gary Muchow broke the old WSUC record for the event, but unfortunately. Eau Claire did it slightly better. The Biugoldâs time of 15:13.49 bettered the recored of 15:19.73 they set last year. The Pointers settled for second with their time of 15:14.34. The final Pointer second came in the 300 yard butterfly where workhorses Mylin, Brown, and Ferris were edged out by eight one-hundreths of a second by Eau Claire. The Blugolds were timed in 2:44.89 and the Pointers in 2:44.97. 12: . . . Involvement. .

The Pointer women are expected to be in the thick of the competition for the volleyball championship. Also playing for a championship will be the Pointer football team. Actually, it has already earned a tie for the WSUC title but will be fighting for sole possession of the top spot as well as trying to earn a post-season playoff berth. It will be Parentâs Day at Goerke Field with kickoff set for 1 p.m. instead of the usual 1:30 p m Fans are urged to arrive early for the game because a large crowd is expected. The womenâs swim team will travel to La Crosse to compete in the WWIAC conference meet on Friday and Saturday. Pointer coach Kay Pateâs squad is expected to challenge for the top spot in the meet. Because of a poor performance in last weekâs conference meet in La Crosse, the Pointer cross country team only qualified two runners for this weekâs NA1A District 14 Meet in Kenosha.

The annual. dinner was under the direction of Karen S. Cowman, an assistant professor of music at Stevens Point. Her madrigal âA Table For 900, Pleaseâ group performed after the traditional meal of English roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was served. Instrumental accompaniement was provided by the nine-piece consort, under the direction of music instructor Carol Knell. Together the singers and instrumentalists with their ballads, carols and madrigals told the story of Christmas from Advent to Epiphany. The madrigal singers are: Sandara Griser. Elizabeth Hagedorn. Sherri Herrmann-sopranos; Judy Behm, Susan Myers, Cynthia Sanner-altos; Steve Assmann, Phillip Hagedorn. John Knowlton-tenors; and Donald Abney, John Myers-basses. William Larsen, a bass, was Lord of the Manor, whose duties included introducing the songs and giving the toast. Consort members are : Sheri Cribb, David Duffey, Mary Ellen Mataya, Gaelyn Newbury, Kathryn Schultz. James Colins, Joseph Magrady, Elizabeth Tielens, and Jon Winsett. Other performers included: Paul Vogelsang, minstrel; Stephen Dolphin, boarâs head-bearer; Ellen Barry .jester; Melanie Krueger. Mark Peterson, and Rik Bersten, herald trumpeters. All performers were dressed in authentic medieval costume. Almost nine hundred guests were served and entertained by this yearâs production. 13 By Scolt Neubert The lights go out. Iâm surrounded by darkness. Suddenly there's a bright flash of light. The concert must be starting I think. No, itâs only the person sitting next to me. Thereâs some noise coming from the stage and a band member shouts through the mike âHow ya doing Stevens Point?ââ Itâs the same old line you hear at every concert from every ordinary band. So I sit back and expect to hear an everyday ordinary band Right? Wrong. That was where the average band ended, and where Sweetbottom began. Sweetbottom. a four piece jazz band out of Milwaukee, opened up its portion of the April 9th concert in Berg Gym to about 1800 enthusiastic listeners. Headed by a fine guitarist. Marty Apel. Sweetbottom rang out an hour's worth of honest original material All of the music introduced was off of the band's currently released LP, Sweetbottom. Of the pieces performed. Angles of the Deep was one of my favorites It featured a bass solo by Duwayne Stuermer that was both melodic and fast A follow-up song to the fine bass solo was entitled Amazon Ritual.â A very fast tempo song. Amazon Ritual introduced the keyboard player as a multi-talented musician. It began with a duo lead of horn and guitar which eventually led to an amazingly long horn solo. Then it was Marty Apel's turn to solo. A composition entitled Her featured Marty and his guitar The song utilized very full sounding jazz chords and choice clean guitar riffs. Apel produced some distinct sounds using a volume pedal on his guitar. The conclusion of the song captured a round of applause when the crowd recognized the theme song from âCloee Encounters of the Third Kindâ tapped out on harmonics. Sweetbottom was the finest band I had seen in Point in four years. I would have been content to see a whole concert of them. But the show didnât stop there. Next was Jean-Luc Ponty. Ponty took the stage and paced back and forth checking it over before grabbing one of the five violins of various colors. The band was ready but the people werenât. Ponty just stood at the front of the stage until there was almost complete silence. The concert could have started 10 minutes sooner had all the people quieted down. Tarantula was the first piece played by Ponty. It was released on his Imaginary Voyage album. The showmanship of Ponty was very well rehearsed His band followed him precisely through every key change and every change of tempo. He spoke with slight French accent as he introduced his latest material from the Enigmatic Ocean LP. âTrans-love Expressâ was the first song to be played off the latest LP which, on the album, had featured a guitar solo by Daryl Stuermer. Although neither Stuermer nor guitarist Allan Holdsworth are with the band now. the two guitar players with Ponty filled in quite well. Jean-Luc's violin playing in Trans-love Express was flawless as was it throughout the whole show. Next came a long piece that branches off into three different parts. The Struggle of the Turtle to the Seaâ lasted about 15 minutes. The time went fast and the song never lagged because Ponty always had tempo changes that kept the song moving. After the end of the long piece the band left and Ponty played a violin solo. Standing at the front of the stage stepping on a barrage of foot pedals, Ponty accompanied himself with the use of an echo-plex. He was able to make his violin sound like percussion and at one time, he sounded like a one-man string quartet. Once again the band joined him and Jean-Luc announced the concluding piece would be Enigmatic Ocean.â Again, a long three segment-song, Ponty and his two guitarists played the main theme of the song together Each band member was allowed to solo for a short time with miniature drum solos until Ponty ended the piece with blazing violin and an abrupt cut off. This brought the crowd to their feet instantly. The band left but I knew theyâd be back to do New Country. another big hit off Imaginary Voyage. Sure enough they returned and broke into a fast but shortened version of New Country. In this piece, Ponty combines bluegrass and jazz. Another abrupt ending and the band left the stage for a second time. Another standing ovation and thunderous applause and the return of Ponty for a second encore had me stunned. The final selection was more of a rock song than jazz that allowed each band member to solo and jam, but it pleased the crowd all the more. Ponty ended by saying See you next time Stevens Pointâ and was gone. All that remained of a great cone were cigarette butts, leftover pa airplanes, 1800 satisfied people an handful of UAB people who fin were reaping the rewards of h; work. 138 140 By Barb Puschel Have you noticed that face disappearing and reappearing on the south side of the CNR building? Itâs not a figment of your imagination. The six foot high face is a cardboard mockup of part of a huge ceramic mural planned for the side of the CNR and it is put up only in good weather. Professor Richard Schneider of the Art Department began several years ago to see how the four story. 150 foot long, blank wall craved some sort of decorative treatment. A gargantuan mosaic that Schneider had seen in Dayton. Ohio, started giving him ideas Shortly after that, as though he were reading minds. Chancellor Dreyfus suggested the mosaic idea. Schneider went to work immediately, drawing ideas from books and suggestions. Quite recently the Board of Regents and the State Building Commission gave Schneider the go-ahead for actual construction of the project. The only obstacle remaining before any tiles can go on the wall is getting adequate funds donated for the amount of the enâire project. Schneider sees this project as an excellent opportunity for the joining together of the students, faculty, community people and alumni to create a work of art. Presently the Alumni Association is soliciting for donations of $20 a square foot Later, when funds for materials are ascertained, the drive will be for volunteer labor to learn how to decal the two inch tiles and put the mural together. Everyone contributing something will be listed in a commemorative book. The tiles themselves are quite intricate. They are light brown with dark brown designs, colors that will harmonize with the CNR building. But each of the twenty designs, pictures in themselves, have been adjusted to a scale of tonation and will work like so many TV picture dots in the final computer programmed design Using a computer to map the design is a fairly revolutionary idea, but almost a necessity foe the size of the mosaic From close up. the mural will be a myriad of miniature prairie chickens, beaver, transits, microscopes, poison ivy leaves, amoebae, hydrologic cycles and other natural resource related symbols. From further away the individual tiles will fade into Wisconsin. Univer- sity and seasonal symbols. Without looking too hard, the viewer will find a family of robins, violets, a badger face, a white-tailed deer and a musky that rests along the bottom of the mosaic. Like an artistâs insignia, the UWSP logo appears in one corner, just below a muted rendition of Old Mainâs cupola-another university symbol. A maple leaf gives background to the robins and a snowflake hides behind the cupola. Under the summer sun rays stretches the most dominant figure, a revised version of the Vitruvian Man. Half of Leonardo da Vinciâs man has become female, making a more fitting symbol for UWSP students. Itâs head is seen in the fairweather mockup. And least Wisconsinâs Indian history be forgotten in this montage of symbols, an unsmiling Black Hawk reposes in the upper right corner After these more obvious symbols are recognized, the viewer will probably begin to wonder about the spaghettied lines in the center of the mural. On closer inspection these will become the Wisconsin River and a map of the Central Wisconsin area-what Chancellor Dreyfus fondly refers toashis ruroplex.â Still, there is an indefinable haze behind all these symbols. If you look very carefully, squint your eyes perhaps, you'll see the ghost of Old Main spreading 150 feet wide and four stories high- preserved from political pressures in tile and mortar for time. Professor Schneiderâs âbig ide may produce one of the larg mosaics in the world, perhaps tourist attraction for Stevens Point a drawing card for the universi Schneider is very excited about i whole idea He wants to explain I project to any and all interes1 groups in the community (Just gi him a call), for more than just beinj piece of art, this mosiac will be product of cooperation.

He will succeed Gail Gatton as managing editor of the university paper Busch is an English major interested in a career in journalism. He claims to want this job as a stepping stone to working for a magazine or paper some day because he feels it is the best journalistic experience available on this campus In the last year, Busch has worked for the paper as a feature writer, has done some artwork for various sections, and is currently serving as news editor Previously, he had been a student manager for arts and crafts. UAB publicity chairperson, graphics technician, and also boasts of a few odd jobs such as selling Christmas cards in the seventh grade and being a parking lot attendent at North Point. There are a few major changes that Busch plans to implement in the paper He would like to expand the news section and departmentalize it. By this he means that there would be areas that deal with students, faculty, current projects, and notes from around the UW-system. Busch would also like to devote an entire page of the paper to listing coming events in Point, around other campuses, and in some of the larger area cities With short descriptions of the events and some graphics or photos, Busch feels that this would be a well-read and informative page. Busch also proposes to try and bring a graphic continuity to the paper, making it look more uniform from section to section As for problems dealing with on and off-campus coverage, Busch says. âI'd like to try and improve communication lines between the paper and the housing office, perhaps talking with some of the directors Ron Hachet, present Director of the UWSP University Centers A I C r program, officially resigned to I Cl V V I I I O VJ I II C take over as Student Union Director at Ball State University in Indiana.

I guess 1 need new challenges...a new environment. Hachet, who created the Ya Lose Some Student Manager program, feels that Ball State has to improve its student involvement He cites UWSP as an example where students were able to function in positions that were normally handled by staff. They havenât talked to students; haven't had their input on decisions, Hachet said of Ball State I think that's what I've enjoyed the most in this position. 14: Christmas decorations strung across the street still shone brightly as the Stevens Point. Whiting and Park Ridge Fire Deparments battled the blaze which gutted the Office Pub. the Staples Sewing Center. Art the Tailor, the Top Hat Bar and Cozy Kitchen, and Max's Rainbow Corner. Two other buildings adjacent to those destroyed, the Hostel Shoppe and the Corner Bar, escaped with only smoke damage. Though the operators of two nearby bars. Butterâs Bar and Buffyâs Lampoon. thought the danger of the fire spreading serious enough to warrant removing goods from their buildings, the strong wind which pushed volumes of smoke across the Square did not deter patrons of other downtown establishments from braving the noxious fumes in search of the elusive pitcher. Eleven months ago the city listed 19 downtown businesses as in unsound condition and perhaps beyond repair. The fire reduced by three the number on that list, as Staples Sewing Center. Art the Tailor and the Top Hat Bar joined the ranks of Tack'n'Hammer upholstery shop, which had also been on the list until it burned last spring. Three other buildings on the list have since been razed, and two, the Stagger Inn and Bronkâs Bar, have been condemned and will soon be torn down. âI Ordered It Medium, But It Came Well Doneâ 144 Square ranks thinned again By Ron Thums In what is getting to be a somewhat tiresome chronicle of downtown renovation, two more hallowed halls of alcoholic dispensation were recently brought to their knees by the bulldozer's blade.

The Harmony Bar, a popular nightspot on the Square, felt the kiss of the wreckerâs ball last weekend as the cityâs downtown redevelopment plans took another step toward completion. City crews completed the jobs started earlier, gleaning bricks and assorted debris from the lot. Eventually the city hopes to utilize the site (along with Zagorskiâs Bar and the Union station to the south of it) as right-of-way for the proposed College Ave-Highway 10 project. The By Matthew Lewis Recently it was my distinct pleasure to dine in one of the most prominent cafes in the Midwest. This particular restaurant serves hundreds of customers each day and has a reputation for fine American food It was last Wednesday that 1 followed the advice of a friend and took in my luncheon meal at âLe Gridiron.ââ located at 1015 Reserve St. Upon entering the main dining room I was immediately struck by the architectural immensity, which 1 would term ââInstitutionalâ As I crossed to the south side of the room 1 noticed that the small Parisian tables and plastic chairs complemented the impressionistic yellow of the walls. At length 1 selected a table near the picturesque south windows. Save for the dirty ashtray on my table, it seemed an elegant setting; on the opposite side of the windows was an elevated patio on which woodenâ chairs and tables were placed. The patio stairs sloped gently to the parking lot and across the asphalt the sun was shining on the Old Main building. The atmosphere was informal and it occurred to me that I needn't have bothered making a reservation. I lingered pleasantly at my table for an hour or so. enjoying the leisurely pace and pondering the cen terfold from my latest copy of âGourmetâ magazine. I grew perplexed, however, when no waiter or waitress appeared during this interval. Finally, 1 observed that some of my fellow diners were walking to a par tition on the east side of the room, and concluded that the food was apparently served a la buffet. I went to the partition, passed through a tumstyle. and entered âTint de service.â 1 reached for a synthetic tray and was at once impressed by the resplendent displays of food and the efficient patter of the cooks; the overall arrangement reminded me somewhat of the Cafe de McDonaldâs on the cityâs north side. To begin my meal I chose a cup of 1977 Point beer,flavored with an m-ported head of foam. Although Polish beers are sometimes too sweet due to unpredictable grape harvests, the Point had a pleasing and delicate Grid bouquet. My entree, the steak du hamburg, was a bit on the lean side but was nonetheless fastidiously served in a sanitary paper wrapper (1 later discovered that Le Gridiron offers an optional tomato-based marinade for most of their meat entrees.) My final course consisted of an excellently timed sac de potato frites francaise, which 1 found enjoyable though slightly salty. The only interruption to my gracious dining came when an elderly female employee. clad in a blue and white uniform, made her way from table to table with a large gray wastebasket and a red metal cart When she arrived at my table, deeply absorbed in her duties of removing debris and straightening chairs, she inadvertently rammed a chair into my shin. My ensuing state of pain was such that 1 could not utter a protest as she expropriated my half-eaten steak du hamburg and placed it in the wastebasket. The tab, including cocktails, taxes and tips, came to $1.25. Le Gridiron is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to midnight, Saturday from 8:00 AM to midnight, and Sunday from 10:00 AM to midnight. Persons without blue jeans will not be seated. 14 The Pointer: âExcuse me sir?â Rusty: (Deep into his work in one of the stalls) Thatâs okay, this is the place for that stuff.â P: No, you see I would like some information.â R: âThatâs the last stall.

The event was âmiddle Eastern Nightâ and was sponsored by Residence Hall Council with Saga foods cooperating by making a traditional Middle Eastern meal But despite Saga's valiant stab at interesting the dorm residents in curried lamb and other foods, it was the belly dancing performance of âKarmina Leana that kept the patrons in their seats. The crowd that ate in the room I went into was finished for the most part long before I tried to find a place to eat. Yet few would budge to let me sit down. They had gotten their seats, and the main attraction hadnât hit their room yet. And many were content to lay there in the plastic chairs sipping Mountain Dew and going back to the dessert bar for the third time until the belly dancer came out. Eventually some dorm-natives became restless and commenced clinking glasses But suddenly, with a whirl of her lavender veils, and moving to the drone of Middle Eastern rhythms, the mysterious âKarmina Leanaâ appeared After a few obligatory wolf whistles, the crowd became thankfully and refreshingly quiet. That is as quiet as one can expect with an attractive, half-naked girl dancing around the diningroom. âKarmina Leana is an excellent dancer, and seemed to enjoy the audience as much as it enjoyed her She glided from table to table, swirling her hips and twirling her veils, while making subtly-teasing expressions in the general direction of various male patrons. As I was busy scribbling down notes on the general crowd reaction, Ms Leana rounded my table and said into my ear, Are you doing homework?â As I was being good-naturedly ribbed by others around the table. 1 thought to myself. âThis woman is used to being the center of attention when she dances. Then, as I turned around to see how her performance was going, 1 could see why she thought that. All eyes were on her. Before the belly dancing demonstration began, the audience was acting quite predictably. The male portion seemed to be looking forward to a wet T-shirt contest rather than an evening of Middle Eastern culture. There were binoculars ready for focusing and a few old dirty jokes being passed around the tables. That was to be expected. Some of the females in the dining room became uptight and even said things like, âOh, how gross, when the main attraction began her thing. This reaction, too, could have been bet upon. But the dinner was a surprisingly pleasant experience. The general reaction from those who attended was positive. It was a nice touch by Residence Hall Council during their yearly attempt to help make residence hall living an enjoyable experience 1! 9SI 15 rs____ By Kurt Busch Everything seemed perfectly normal in the Sunday afternoon silence that surrounded a small quarry just outside of town. The overcast sky. unbroken by any wind, sucked most of the color out of the landscape, leaving farm buildings and scenery in muted grays and pastels. Granite faces rose slightly above the fringes of the frozen water, outlinging the borders of the ice Everything seemed perfectly normal. Normal, that is. except for one thing There were two people swimming around around under that ice., of their own free will. And there is definitely nothing normal about that Yesterday, said Chris Myers, one of the divers, I soloed for about a half-an-hour It's just surreal down there you can't explain it. This â˘'surreal quality â this diving through the frigid silence of winter waters â is apparently attractive. On Sunday afternoon, six members of the UWSP Scuba Club gathered to make the last of several ice dives this season How thick does the ice have to be. asked Laurie Mooney, one of the club's diving instructors. Twelve inches? Iâll go on six, commented Pete Butt, the clubâs president. Suiting up. he looked down into the darkness of the triangular hole that had been cut for the dive. The process for cutting this ice entrance is lengthy, involving three holes drilled with an ice-auger and some additional chainsaw surgery Snow is shovled off the surface of the ice in paths that resemble spokes on a wagonwheel. Underwater these paths shine like fluorescent lights, providing the diver with illumination as well as an orientation reference The triangle of cut ice is kicked under the surface where, hopefully, it will remain. Occasionally, the plug will float back and close up the hole, sealing the diver underwater. The plug closed back up on Pete yesterday, commented one of the divers, but we just kicked it back in. Another major problem in ice diving involves the effect of cold water on a diverâs regulator. The regulator â a device that allows the diver to inhale and exhale on demand â will, on occasion, freeze open, allowing the air supply to rush out into the icy depths of the diving site. Members of the club, however, noted that this situation is rare and easily remedied. Ice diving, for the most part, is perfectly safe. Not that scare stories donât persist. Ice divers, like any other participants in an exotic recreation form, have tales that will chill the marrow more surely than the waters they dive in. One of these involves a local diving instructor who, with a friend, braved the frigid expanses of Sunset Lake some ten years. Unfortunately, neither had taken any of the usual safety precautions and both were drunk Endings for the story vary. The most colorful of these has the instructor, his air supply spent, pounding on the bottom of the crystal clear ice as a group of Boy Scouts stand helplessly above him, watching as he struggles vainly to free himself from his icy tomb Incidents such as these, however, are all but unknown to a responsible ice diver. The whole procedure makes it all fail-safe, Mooney said Safety systems include guy-lines attached to a diverâs wrist which are handled at all times by another diver above the ice Those divers topside â the âtendersâ â operate a series of signals by tugging at the end of the line The diver below signals in similar fashion if heâs in trouble. Additionally, one diver is constantly crouched at the edge of the hole, ready to dive in and provide emergency aid. Another safety feature involves a curious outfit called an octopus rig. This set-up consists of two regulators attached to the same air cylinder, allowing two divers to breathe from the same oxygen supply in an emergency. This is a vast improvement over the âbuddy breathingâ system which calls for alternating breaths taken by the divers. Underwater, Butt said, buddy breathing is a joke. But while ice diving may be safe, there is no way it can be comfortable, at least initially, divers layer themselves with long underwear and wet suits, hoping to stave off the cold that inevitably accompanies entering the water. The problem with this is that wet suits are designed to allow a small amount of water to enter. This water is heated by the body, hopefully creating some degree of comfort for the diver Thereâs no way, however, that a sudden seepage of thirty degree liquid can seem comfortable; at best it will raise your voice a few octaves before becoming bearable. To compensate for this, the divers prepare themselves by pouring warm water down their suits just prior to going down Wait 'till it hits your balls, one diver said, pouring water from a Coleman picnic jug. Thatâs the worst part. Or the best, another suggested. The victim's face, momentarily contorted in agony, was barely visible through the small opening in his hood. After donning his mask and regulator, his face was all but obscured from view, giving him an eerie resemblance to a black Spiderman. He slipped into the water and winced. You see God yet, Carp? one of the tenders asked. Butt slipped into the water and grinned up at the club members. Câmon in, the waterâs warm...all the way up to thirty-four Thirty-four and a half, one of the members corrected The pair in the water submerged momentarily, testing their regulators The bubbles began to tear away at the hole, leaving a ragged edge around them One diver grabbed a slurp gun (a homemade tool for gathering sea specimens that operates by suction and resembles a Buck Rogers death ray) and the pair vanished beneath the surface. A dog which had been surveying the area edged toward the lip of the hole, sniffing at the spot where two men had been. Finally disinterested by the whole operation, he backed off. slipping on the wet surface surrounding the entrance. Turning away, he pranced toward the shoreline, looking for people who were interested in warmer forms of entertainment. 158 By Dan McGinnity The New York touring company âOn the Aisle Inc.â presented the Tony Award-winning musical âCabaretâ in Quandt Gym Friday night to a large crowd composed primarily of flannel-shirted college students and well-dressed middle-aged couples. The performance was met by a standing ovation at its conclusion, but many people expecting a poised and polished performance by the New York company were disappointed at times with the lack of precision and a nearly inaudible sound system. The synchronization of the dancers was rough in spots, and those who were not fortunate enough to get a seat near the stage had a hard time picking up the voices in many of the musical numbers, including one of the more popular, âThe Money Song.â Some of the technical and sound difficulties cannot be entirely blamed on the touring company since Quandt Gym is hardly suitable for a Broadway Musical production. David Morgan, in the role of Master of Ceremonies, kept the musical rolling at a fast tempo, and was well received by the audience. A versatile and convincing performer, Morgan was at his best as a member of an all-girl chorus line, fooling the entire audience until the end of the number when he doffed his wig and snickered at his cleverness. The story of Cabaretâ is based on John Van Drutenâs play 1 am a Cameraâ and also on Christopher Isherwoodâs book âBerlin Stories.â Set against a background of corruption and political turnmoil in 1930 Germany, Cabaretâ is a musical portrayal of an English waifâs romance with a touring American novelist. The novelist (played by Peter Boynton) meets a handsome young Berliner named Ernest Ludwig and inadvertantly helps him to smuggle in some illegal funds from Paris, Ludwig (played by James Kroll) returns the favor to Cliff by giving him the name of a cheap boarding house owned by Fraulein Sneider-a dowdy German widow played exceptionally well by Ada Simmons. Cliffâs first night in Berlin turns out to be New Yearâs Eve, and after much contemplation he decides to go to the Kit Kat club, where he eventually meets and falls in love with the star of the stage show, Sally Bowles. Germany. The owner of the boarding house, Fraulein Scheider announces her engagement to a Jewish boarder, Herr Schultz (played by David Darvey). The occasion calls for an engagement party at Herr Schultzâ fruit shop, and all are invited. Ernest shows up with a swastika armband, and advises the Fraulein to call off the marriage since the Naziâs are coming to power and it would not be wise to be married to a Jewish man. She realizes this, and turns the party sour as she leads the guests in singing a Nazi song Tomorrow belongs to Me.â After seeing Ernestâs armband. Cliff realizes he is smuggling for the Nazi party, and decides to move back to Americal with his bride-to-be, Sally. Sally wants to stay in Berlin, and runs out after a savage argument. She returns the next day after aborting her child. She realizes that she loves Berlin and can never leave, so Cliff returns to America, writing about his experiences. Itâs hard to believe that such a moribd story could be turned into an entertaining musical production, but author Joe Masteroff treats the serious subject matter in a carefree manner, which keeps the mood light and lively. The stage band did a commendable job, but again the acoustics of the gym somewhat hampered their effectiveness. Overall, Friday nightâs performance was enjoyable and well worth seeing. Lost in the carefree world of Cabaret, one could almost forget the impending doom of finals. Judi Laurence is cast in the role of Sally, and although she's no Liza Mineili, she does well as the sleazy but sophisticated chorus girl. Sally gives up her romance with the Kit Kat Club owner and moves into the boarding house with her new love. Cliff : much to his surprise. The Master of Ceremonies explained this situation to the audience by indicating that everyone in Berlin lives with someone and that he in fact lives with two ladies. Months pass, and although Cliff is unable to make much progress with his novel, he is enjoying his life with Sally. When Sally becomes pregnant, Cliff is desperate for money and accepts a job from his former acquaintance Ernest, which consists of smuggling briefcases into 15 161 By George Leopold Addressing a wide variety of issues, comedian and political activist Dick Gregory delivered an impassioned lecture to a large crowd at the Berg Gymnasium. Gregory was brought to UWSP in conjunction with Black Culture Week, through the efforts of the Black Student Coalition. Gregory, who was called a freelance humanitarianâ by Chancellor Lee Dreyfus in his introductory remarks, is perhaps best known for several books he has written on the civil rights movement in America and his hunger strikes which have been used to focus public attention on various issues. After warming up the crowd with a five minute routine dealing primarily with flatulence, Gregory launched into a variety of subjects ranging from rascism to government weather modification. Referring to the latter, he stated that the United States government, as early as 1962, used cloud seeding in Vietnam in order to transform the Ho Chi Minh Trail into a âmuddy river.â Gregory then raised the question of why weather modification was not also used in this country during the severe droughts of 1976-1977, The critic charged that use of weather modification by the government is restricted to wholly military purposes. He explained that the recent east coast blizzards were the result of official tampering with the weather carried out so that the U.S. Army could conduct military maneuvers. The reason for this modification, according to Gregory, was to simulate weather conditions similar to those in the Soviet Union in the event that the U.S. enters into an armed conflict with that country. It is Gregoryâs belief that forcing the U.S. into a war with Soviet Union has become official foreign policy and that this latest misuse of technology represents a new stage in such an effort. In addition to the military, Gregory was also highly critical of the federal intelligence agencies. He noted that documented proof exists regarding a 1954 CIA project which used âbehavior modification in order to create what Gregory called âinvoluntary assassins.â Gregory charged that CIA assassins such as these were responsible for the murders of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He said that the FBI is the âprime suspectâ in the King assassination and was responsible for organizing the riots that forced King to come to Memphis, Tennessee, where he was shot in April, 1968 Stressing the strategic role of Africa in future world politics as well as recent developments in South Africa. Gregory stated. What is happening in South Africa can affect everybody in this country if we go into a blood bathâ there. He argued that the three super powers are currently engaged in a struggle in Africa to gain control of her vast natural resources When asked about the recent University of Wisconsin divestiture of its stock in South Africa and the viability of the approach used to force it, Gregory responded, â1 think itâs the only approach.â He added, âI think every time a 162 college has to get rid of its stock South Africa, that sends a message the major companies in tl country...â Yet Gregory warned agaii creating a situation in whi students will say to colleg-universities and institutions that donât want to be part of t institution that has investments South Africa, but will buy F( automobiles, still buy General MotÂŤ products that help particip directly in those murders and th atrocities more so than the colleg and universities do.â Gregory also questioned t common belief that the role colleges and universities was prepare one for life. Why, he askÂŤ are there no courses taught on how deal with rascism and sexism? T critic remarked that most studei understand these prejudices U when they graduate than when th first entered college. Despite his earlier statement th âthe whole worldâs gone crazy Gregory concluded his remarks or note of hope. He stated that it was to the âyoung folksâ to chang Gregory suggested, âthat the bigg thing that has to be done would be f the young folks to form coalitio across the countryâ in order examine the entire establishment. We just have to move faster a say to the government that we do: want you modifying the weather; ÂŤ don't want you tampering with wl is supposedly a free democra society.â Doug McMillan, president of BS stated that he was pleased with t response to Gregoryâs speech. . said that his groupâs main goal was expose people to new ideas and show students that the quality of 1 in America may be just as poor : them as it is for minority groups He added that the black civil rigl movement has not been viewed newsworthy recently and that hoped to generate renewed inter by bringing a well known figure to I campus. By Sue Malzahn Allen Ginsberg is a rambunctious old character, and having witnessed his lively theatrics in Michelson Hall itâs hard to imagine him meditating under a tree for eight hours in some obscure region of India. But he does it. He even took five minutes during the course of his presentation to introduce a large audience to a basic form of meditation. Anyone who attended the performance also knows what a harmonium is, how it works, and what it can doâat least in the hands of Allen Ginsberg. The term âaborigine song sticksâ no longer conjures up images of native rituals, and bells cease to be just bellsâ once acquainted with the artistâs assortment of chimes. Of course all this paraphernalia scattered on a table seemed strange at first. Even the kettle drum propped like a well-known friend at the side of an armless wooden chair was somewhat of a spectacle at a poetry reading. But it was Ginsberg who captivated the audience once he finally appeared, and all the gadgets soon became familiar tools in the hands of a craftsman. Shuffling into the limelight the bearded, balding,legend seated himself and calmly acknowledged his audience. He seemed subdued, perhaps even passive at the outset. However, he had the entire evening to reassert such evaluations and he soon began. Following an introduction by David Engle, Ginsberg lifted a small, red box onto his lap, put a match to a stick of incense and began his performance with a selection from William Blake. Actually, the box on his lap was a keyboard wind instrument called a harmonium, and Ginsberg played his own accompaniment as he chanted Blakeâs Nurseâs Songâ in a raspy bass. The crowd immediately warmed to the charismatic poet and readily joined in on the refrain and all the hills echo itâ which lasted for several minutes. Ginsberg has a musical feel for words which was demonstrated even more profoundly in his rendition of Tiger, Tiger,â another of Blakeâs works. In order to place proper emphasis on the rhythmic pulsations of the poem, Ginsberg invited a spectator to assist him by maintaining a heartbeat rhythm on the drum. Aborigine song sticks were also employed in the delivery of this selection as a second assistant tapped the two stake-like pieces of wood against each other to achieve the same heartbeat effect. Ginsbergâs own sung recital and accompaniment on the harmonium gave life to the poem and an undulating atmosphere. Perhaps the members of the audience were made aware of the life juices throbbing inside their own bodies, for through the applause came cries of One more time! One more time! â But Ginsberg moved on to his own compositions, among them, Mind Breaths. This reading was preceded with a lesson in mindfulness, the basic form of meditation mentioned earlier. The audience was instructed to sit with backs straight, eyes open, gazing ahead, and bands resting on knees while concentrating on the breath exiting the body through the nose. The majority of the group complied with the request and after five minutes of âmindfulnessâ was stirred to life at the sound of a timid bell. Ginsberg then proceeded with his delivery of Mind Breaths,â a poem reminiscent of a head trip he took while sitting under a tree practicing a version of the above exercise. Perhaps the composition which best dispelled any notion of Ginsberg as a harmless, innocent personage was his CIA Dope Calypso,â a reckless attack on the organizationâs experimentation with and trafficking of narcotics. Ginsberg performed Calypsoâ most dramatically. His intonations of voice lent the poem a quality of urgency which was enhanced by his physical restlessness. He rocked back on his chair, feet dancing, and feverishly wiped his mouth and mustache throughout the ordeal. Such an explosive delivery could easily exhaust .the listener but not this energetic performer. After a series of shorter poems followed by a brief intermission, Ginsberg returned with renewed vitality and a repeat performance of Tiger, Tiger.â He continued with a long oratory entitled Contest of Bards,â a bombardment of vivid imagery. This recitation was fierce, tense, humorous, touching; the conclusion of a three hour performance, it left an appreciative but weary audience. Yet, as for that rascal Ginsberg, one can believe he thanked the multitude feeling alert and very high-spirited, full of a vigor few will ever know. 16 By Ron Thums Regular listeners of campus radio 90FM may have been a little puzzled early last week if they tried to tune in their favorite station. Rest assured the total silence emanating from that familiar spot on the dial was not due to an electronic malfunction in that Panasonic portable, but rather a result of the station blowing its transmitter, putting it off the air for over a day. WWSP DJâs had been cuing the audience to the problem throughout the week; as the problem worsened the signalâs power decreased and with it the broadcast range. Finally, on Tuesday morning the aging booster transmitter, bought used years ago from WSPT, gave up its ghost. Feverish troubleshooting throughout the day and night succeeded in getting it back to full power by Wednesday morning, but that minor accomplishment did little to raise the spirits of the 90FM staff. Program Director Tim Bedore called the situation grim. He said that it was no longer economically feasible to repair the existing equipment, because its condition simply could not guarantee continued operation. Andrew Miller, 90FM station manager echoed these concerns. He likened the stationâs present condition to a 70 year old man suffering from a heart attack.â According to Miller the life expectancy of the current transmitter is three months on the outside, and could go at any time. The concern over the future of WWSP, which identifies well over half of the student body as regular listeners, has prompted the staff to approach Student Government with an emergency funding request for $15,000. Miller justified the request by stating the desirability of keeping the station on the air and not discontinuing operation. WWSP is an integral part of the Stevens Point media and provides a considerable service to the university and surrounding community. Budget Director Chuck Bomhoeft, speaking for SPBAC, recommended to the Student Senate Monday that the money be allocated as rapidly as possible. He suggested one method of financing which would pull $3,000 from the Chancellorâs Reserve Fund, along with up to $12,000 from the Senate Reserve. The move would leave a balance of $2,000 in the Chancellorâs fund and $4,000 in Senate Reserve, a bit less than preferred, but an adequate surplus according to Bomhoeft. One overshadowing problem facing the station is that even if the money were made available tomorrow the stateâs time-consuming process of soliciting bids for purchase of the new transmitter could take several months. Bomhoeft told Student Senate that there were some avenues open to hurrying the bureaucracy along. If Madison allows the university to request a waiver of the standard procedure, and Central Purchasing OKâs it, the transmitter could be available within two months. It would be close, but hopef within the shaky lifespan of present equipment. What it amounts to is a i between antiquated electri gimmickery and the natur. sluggish lethargy of the Mad bureaucracy. Will one break be the other? According to Miller the statio looking at alternate methods funding the transmitter purch including benefits and the like. Bedore mentioned the possibility co-operatively run radio station,' each student providing a gi amount, say two dollars, to keep i the air. Impractical in the long r Probably. But steps must be ta immediately by Student Governm the Administration and the stud at large in order ot assure the visible and important aspect of university remains on the airwave 164 may the, FARCE be with you... By Hod Stamm and Terry Teslolin âAnother Cherry Bomb. Uncle Raymond.â Those of us fortunate or un fortunate enough to know the potency of these words are the ones who will feel the loss most. As of October 25. Ray and Gerts (Bronkâs Bar) will be history, but not without leaving its mark For many of its late night clientel and the broad spectrum of people that frequented the establishment in the afternoon hours, Ray s was the Square Ray's, along with the Stagger Inn. is scheduled to be vacated by November l by order of former City Building Inspector Richard Morton. The issue to be brought out is not the actual physical condemning of the building but the questionable circumstances surrounding the condemnations. The city policy for the condemning of a building is based on the cost of repairing the violations found in comparison to the total assessment of the building. If the total repair estimate exceeds 50 percent of the total assessment, the structure is eligible for condemnation. The inspection of the bars on the Square took place in late May. The structural assessments of the bars by City Inspector Morton and Fire Inspector Ray Bartkowiak, according to city document (32-2017-08) âNotice and Order for Correcting Violations of Stevens Point Municipal Code,â are as follows: The Stagger Inn, $3450; Ray and Gerts, $1865; and Joeâs Bar, $17,500 Access to these documents was at first denied (following a verbal request to the Inspector's office), but was subsequently allowed upon submission of a written request, for which the Freedom of Information Act could be cited The significance of this is that on May 29 Inspector Morton resigned his position with the city and purchased a financial interest in Joeâs Bar, owned by his mother-in-law Esther Stroik Questions have been raised with regards to a conflict of interest involved in this situation. Morton replied to the allegations by stating that at the time of the investigation he was employed by the city, and had been instructed to perform a survey of downtown businesses He stated. â1 had no inkling that I would be in the bar business at that time.'' He added that he personally hated to see the bars closed, because it takes away from the downtown business Facts involving the actual assessments are interesting. The document condemning Ray's bar states, The structure is in unsound and dilapidated condition. The foundation is unsound The floor is inadequate to support the expected load. The walls are not in sound condition The electrical wiring is unsafe, the exits are inadequate. The cost of repair would exceed $1277, which is in excess of 50 percent of the value, consequently the building is a public nuisance and shall not remain.â An interview with Ray Bronk revealed that the cost of the repairs of last years's violations surpassed the total structural assessment of this year. In reference to the walls and the inadequate exits mentioned in the document, Ray stated that these violations were corrected last year. In reference to the estimated cost of repairs, a discussion with David Medin, Inspection Department administrator, disclosed that the estimates are done by the city inspectors themselves Therefore. Mor ton produced his own estimation of the repairs. In Rayâs opinion, there exists the possibility of misuse of office for personal financial advancement. According to Ray, Itâs the dirtiest trick a man can do. With the elimination of Kay s and the Stagger Inn, Grin and Beer It, and Joe's are the only two drinking establishments remaining on the block. With the demise of the Harmony Bar and the increased enrollment at UWSP a significant increase in the bar load is highly likely at the Square. It was learned from the interview with Medin that this vear is the start of a six-year comprehensive building inspection program throughout the city. The inspection includes places of business and rooming houses He stated that inspections of taverns take place annually, and that the owners are aware of the dates of inspection Ray and Gertieâs has long been a social center of the downtown section for many Square patrons This can be seen each day as people from many walks of life pull up bar stools and mix friendly conversation with 15 cent taps on leisurely afternoons. Itâs one of the few places where Polish can still be heard spoken fluently, sharing the air with studentsâ heady discussions. A common scene is the dialogue between the young and the old. a learning process for both parties Farmers, retired railwaymen, students and concertina players mingle to present a facet of interpersonal communications not found in any classroom. Ray and Gertie's was catalyst for interaction for the generations of people that frequented the bar. Because of the suspicious circumstances involving the closing of Rayâs, the attitudes of the patrons toward Mr. Morton and Joeâs Bar are visibly very negative. Ray. his good times, his jukebox and his hootchy-kootchy girl were important to a lot of people What will be done remains to be seen, though in some respects the die is already cast The Stagger Inn doesn't have any definite plans and hasn't decided to take court action to stay the condemnation procedure. Ray has decided not to fight the order and has already sold his liquor license. His tentative plans are to do a little more fishing and hunting, and spend more time at home. Woiyftanche sbogen,â Ray, weâre all going to miss you. By Barb Pusche! The statistics are out for the Energy Saving Contest sponsored by the Housing office. The residents of Roach Hall used the least amount of electricity and steam heat during the fall semester. For its efforts, the dorm will receive $500. Knutzen Hall received the $300 second prize and Steiner Hall received $200 for third prize. Delzell came in last place. Its utilities cost per occupant outstrips second to last place by an amount more than the total cost per occupant of Roach Hall. Is this a problem in architecture, southern exposure or the residentsâ attitudes? At any rate, Dwight Brass of the Housing office, who organized the contest, feels that enough savings were made to do this again next year. Besides, being able to save fuel and electricity is more than a monetary triumph. Another part of the energy contest offered $50 each to the five best ideas for saving energy. David Zelenski suggested stoppers for the sinks in dorms so that hot water, thus heat, wouldnât be wasted. Donald Sommer thought perhaps the duration of heating time on hair dryers and hand dryers could be adjusted. Eric Inyart came up with the simple suggestion for us to close our curtains at night. (It would also save millions of houseplant lives.) The other two ideas involve structural changes. Putting in double doorways, such as the front of the University Center has. in buildings that don't have them, would save considerable heat. This was the advice of David Foss. Steve Greb suggested that the university recycle its used heat . Already heated air from the ventilation system doesnât necessarily have to be disposed of outside the building. State regulations only specify that it canât be reused in the ventilation system.

Some of these elms were here even before Old Main was built, others were planted later. All grew with the town and college, recording the seasons as rings of growth. In an elegant way, they truly accented Old Mainâs historic architecture. The trees fell victim to the growing problem of Dutch Elm Disease. Five of the elms belonged to and were removed by the city. The University owned and removed the other five. The Stevens Point city forester confirmed the presence of the disease in samples taken from the trees All stumps and roots have been completely ground out and the distrubed sites are reseeded. Two attempts had been made to stop movement of the disease into the parkway using the Vapan method. The method involves a chemical injection into the soil between trees to kill root ends thus preventing spread of the disease through root graphs. This method has proven effective near South Hall in the past. The lack of soil moisture and the hot early spring this year apparently speeded progression of the disease in the trees Since removal of these elms, two more Vapan treatments have been made and will hopefully stop further eastward spread into the parkway. Dr. Bob Miller's Urban Forestry class is now working on plans for combating the disease and replanting the parkway. An experimental treatment that would leave elm trees immune to the disease is currently under investigation for possible use in the future. Meanwhile, a holding area for replacement stock .has been created near the athletic area on the north end of campus. The University now has Sugar Maple, Ash, and Basswood saplings, and is ordering Shagbark Hickory. Red Maple, and Hackberry trees to replace felled elms. The saplings will be transplanted in three to four years when the disease has taken its full toll of elms. Right now all we can do is hope for a major break through in the fight against Dutch Elm Disease and think of days when the new saplings grow to maturity. 16 168 Stevens Point After Dark 170 H H ÂĽ w âş 1 Student Activities This room will someday house all the lovely ladies on this page Smiley here is Wendy Timm.
