Trivia ’87, that’s what. For the past seventeen years, UWSP’s 90fm has become the home of Trivia Mania and this year the tradition continued. Once again it hosted trivia. ’’Trivia 18”, an event which has become the world’s largest trivia contest. The marathon began Friday, April 3rd at 6:00p.m. and ended Sunday, April 5th at midnight. The logo for this years contest was.’’short and sweet”, due to the fact that President Reagan changed daylight savings time, three weeks early, one hour was cut off the usual playing time. Anyone can enter the contest, either alone or with a team. The teams in Trivia ’87 ranged in numbers from 15 to 300 members. During the musical breaks, teams call in their answers to the questions aired on 90fm. The object of the game is to acquire the greatest number of points by answering the questions ranging in point values from 5 to 500. There were 337 teams this year and a new Trivia Champion was crowned. ’’Hour 54; Where Are You”, the team headed by Scott Shultz,( Stevens Points’ new mayor) won first place, dislodging, ’’network” which had won consecutively for the past four years but had to settle for second best this year. The third place trophy went to Substation.” Trivia is the biggest fund raiser for 90fm and it is sure to continue to be such in the future. So. why partake in Trivia? One of the participants summed it up best, saying, It’s crazy, I spend too much time and money on it, but it’s a means of escapism. Actually, I really don’t know why I do trivia, but then again, I wouldn’t even consider not participating.” 99999.016 001-057 Homecoming As always. Homecoming Saturday was sizzling with action. The day kicked off with the traditional Homecoming parade which made its way through campus and ended its route at Georke Field where the Pointers went on to defeat the UW-Oshkosh Titans, 17-7, in the afternoon football game. Baldwin Hall took first place in the Banner Contest and the Float Competition was won by the men of Sigma Tau Gamma. The week’s events concluded with the Cotillion Ball sponsored by the Residence Hall Association. Entertainment was provided by the UWSP Jazz Band and the new Homecoming King and Queen, Michael Jameson and Becky Chambers of Hansen Hall, were crowned. The closing of the Homecoming activities did not tame the spirit of the week's festivities and the fire is continuing to burn at UWSP. ’ ” The Heat is On ” at UWSP and was hotter than ever at Pointer Homecoming 86. The week's activities commenced with The Great Race on Sunday afternoon, of which Knutzen Hall captured first place. Keith Hcnslin and Beverly Michling of Watson Hall tripped the light fantastic and won the King Queen Dance Competition. Hyer Hall residents had gambling , fever and cashed in with first place at Casino Night on campus. Thomson Hall rapped its way to first place as the . sounds of chant, cheer and song filled the air of Georkc t field at the Yell Like Hell Contest. Other hot activities of the week included a Decathalon in Berg Gym, of which Hanson Hall was the victor, and entertainment provided by comedian Sid Youngers in the U.C.

UAB sponsored trips to both Florida and the South Padre Islands of Texas in 1987. Many eager partyers from UWSP took advantage of these trips or others sponsored by outside travel groups. Some students even made the annual pilgrimage in their own vehicles. The sands of the South Padre Islands appeared to be the favorite of most students this year. Some people have noted the reason for the shift may have been because of past problems in Fort Lauderdale and Daytona. But perhaps Florida’s new drinking age may have contributed a bit to the shift as well.What ever the reason, the Texas tourist industry reeped the benefits of theextraordinary spring break crowd and the student for UWSP and universities across the nation had a super time in the Texas sun.

Front: T.Gtaser(Advtsor) Wc showed our ”Nealc-A-Pcel” at the start of the year by taking a bite out of our All Hall banana split. Neale Homecoming brought out the ape in us and wc went bananas for our King and Queen, Kevin and Michelle. Putting aside the childish part of us wc got sophisticated with our Fratcmiiy Sorority Dance- although wc weren’t completely serious with names like Phi Toga Omega. Staff was able to raise some hall funds with all their friends present during Pie-In-Thc-Eye. Neale could not let the Christmas season pass us by so we had our annual Children’s Christmas Party, everyone could not help but get that comphy, caring feeling-even santa. who was present. At Snow Olympics wc could have gotten wild and crazy during snow volleyball, but wc did not get the chance, but our banners showed hall spirit. NTV was a second semester theme and was it a show. Behind door I some found fantasy and others falicy, but ’’Let’s make a Neale” was a Neale of a show. Puttin’ On the Hits”was excellent, and we captured it on tape, so wc can keep it as an ego boosted Neale has real talent). These are just a few of our NTV productions for more information, contact a Neale-Litc. Yes. it was true, it all ended with our buddy Jay from UWSP to share Neale’s Jammin Hawaiian Dance. 63 Watson Hall started the year off “Raising a Little Hell.” Watson Hall enthusiasm for this year’s homecoming allowed us to take second in competition. The highlights of the homecoming events were Keith Henslin and Bev Michling, our King and Queen, taking first in the dance contest by dressing up as members of the opposite sex, a fourth place finish in the Great Race, and a second place finish in the dccathalon. The year progressed with many events going on in the hall. Some of these events indludcd a Christmas dance. Valentines Day dance and a Spring Formal. Watson Hall showed their enthusiasm aso in all hall events such as Tootsie Night. Sex Trivia and a Turkey Hunt. One early spring week we had a Battle of the Wings in which each wing had one sort of competition and received points for place finishings. Some of the events included tug of war, a spoon race, a chugging contest, relay race, and scavenger hunt. All in all, Watson Hall’s year turned out to be a fun filled and eventful year that will keep us all in anticipation for next year. 64 66 Theatre Arts The Theatre Arts Drama Dancc department had an extrodinary season in ’87. The mainstage productions in the fall included Molier’sThe Miser, and the broadway mucical, Annie, which, consequently, was the department’s largest grossing production ever. The statewide coverage and response was overwhelming, for every show was sold out and extra performances were also added to meet the demand. The dance production After Images was also a part of the fall season calandar. The spring semester was an eventful one with three mainstage productions and one studio production. In February the department staged the comedy. Crimes of the Heart Dance Theatre was presented in Jenkins Theatre the following month. The departments only only studio produciton this year. Extremities, was staged in the Encore of the University Center due to the demands of the set as well as the controversial subject matter of the script which required that there be a greater playing distance between the audience and the actors. Finally, the season ended with a production of The Organic Company’s nine-inning comedy. Bleacher Bums, which explores an event in the lives of a group of Chicago Cub fans. The Drama Dancc department here at UWSP has been fortunate in acquiring a great number of talented performers and it is always an enjoyable experience to attend the productions every semester, so it would be worth your while to catch a show and'become culturally enriched!

CNR has been rccogmzed nationally, not only due to its size but also because of the quality of the programs, as well as the quality of its students and graduates. The College of Natural Resources stresses that students pursue a major, but also get an education in all phases on the environment. Programs within the college include majors in forestry, resource management, soil science, water resources, wildlife management and paper science. The success of these programs is due in pan to the guidance of Dean Trainer, who has held this position for the past sixteen years. The education given in CNR is a mixture of the theoretical and the practical. Trainer said that it is an attempt to. provide a good education for young people, gain an appreciation for the enviromnemt. and to pursue careers in cnvironmcmtal management. ' He stated that this emphasis is very important due to the fact that the environmental concerns arc changing so rapidly, that the individual.”must be kept abrest of the changes.” When asked about the budget cuts. Dean Trainer simply stated that these arc concerns that everyone must face, they aren’t new and therefore they shouldn’t be overemphasized. Trainer observed that the CNR has maintained its enrollment and standards of quality despite these cuts. He states. ” our quality has grown with the numbers of students, and that is reflected in the high placement of our graduates. In fact, our placement record is double that of the national average.” He also felt that these programs were helped by the fact that they have many graduates who are now coming back to them for people they need to hire. He did however caution about placement statistics, saying that the figures also include seasonal positions, yet also said that many of those end up turning into permanent employment. Dean Trainer has been an asset to the College of Natural Resources, yet he underemphasizes his importance by saying. ” our single strongest asset is our students, they made our job easy, because they become our graduates and that is the best promotion a college could have. 76 mff' an 78 wildlife 1st row: K.Beottle.

The College of Letters and Science is, ” the backbone of everything on campus. This college is the basis for professional programs. They have very strong majors of and for themselves. College of Letters and Science also places emphasis on students appreciation for the learning process. They offer a wide variety of majors in many different fields. The college is under the supervision of acting Dean. Justice Paul. Previous to this recent appointment. Dean Paul served for seventeen years as the chair of the history department. He stressed the strength of the programs offered in the college. He observed, before I became the Dean. I knew that L S. offered many good majors, but it wasn't until 1 received this position that I became fully aware of the strengths of these programs. Dean Paul remarked that inadequate funding is always a problem to confront in a University, and along with that there arc also unusual pressures in specific areas resulting in growth in some areas, and decline in others. Yet this should not be overemphasized. The problems will always be there and thus it is up to the individual colleges to find creative ways to overcome these problems. One of the ways is by emphasizing the quality of the student enrolled in the college. L S is able to boast a very strong program throughout their college. They are also responsible for many of the general degree requirements, meaning that at one point or another, we get everyone in here. Whether it be for a math class or an Engish class, it does not matter, the point is that every major on campus has been exposed to our college while completing the general degree requirements for graduation. Dean Paul stated that the job prospects arc getting brighter. He commented, any good major who is determined will find a job. It may not be in their first or second choice of a major or minor, but I believe that there is a job. Dean Paul ends his position as acting Dean at the end of this term, but he is a candidate for the permanent position for next year. We will just have to wait until next year to see what the outcome will be. PAPER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT S.Deodhor. W.Hoit. S.Abubokr. L.Graham. G.RIng. GEOGRAPHY AND GECM.OGY DEPARTMENT K.Rlce.

Previous to that, she had a variety of experiences including acting as Dean at Mercy Hcrst Adult College, in Eric Pennslyvania, as well as serving as a national consultant in Washington D. C. Dean North seems to be happy here. She commented on the healthy atmosphere at UWSP.” The students, faculty, and staff have a greater sense of their own life, they arc very wellness oriented.” Dean North said that because of this awareness she finds the people here to be enjoyable. She said that this. ”is a nice place to work, it is a real comfortable environment.” Dean North commented on the current impact of budget cuts, saying.” we are jammed up against the wall. We can’t keep up with student demand, we have too few- faculty for the number of students.” However she feels that there will soon be a slow improvement. The college rccongnizcs its limitations, and strives to emphasize quality rather than quantity education. The current employment trends arc good within this college, she stated that home economics placement is still very high, along with education and health promotion. and she said that communicative disorders majors arc in very high demand.

D.Meyers, A.Vreeman(Advljor), This year the School of Home Economics celebrates its eighty-fifth birthday. The domestic science department, one of the pioneer programs in the country, was established in 1902. only eight years after the founding of what was then Stevens Point Normal School. Its initial purpose was to encourage domestic science in the education of young women and to train teachers in that field. In the ensuing years, the area grew, changed and expanded. The School of Home Economics now offers six undergraduate majors-dietetes, early childhood education, fashion merchandizing, food service management.home economics education, and interior dcsign-and two graduate degrecs-master of science in home economics education, and in nutrition and food science.

R.A.’s and shared bathrooms, not to mention Debot and Allen food centers, arc over for many UWSP college students. UWSP requires that underclassmen live in the dorms their first two years, but after that requirement is met, many students opt for alternative housing, off campus. This alternative housing takes many forms, as the student who wants to leave the dorm, will live just about anywhere to get out. Most students move off to find the private bathroom, bigger rooms, living space, home food, privaccy, and most of all freedom. Most of the people who do move off arc satisfied, even though at times living off campus can be very expensive, they find the extra cost worth their freedom. The most popular, and often most expensive form, is the large house. The house is usually divided into several sections. sometimes consisting of upper and lower apartments. Students arc often crammed into these places like sardines, but still they say it is worth the freedom from the dorms. Other students opt for apartments, which often pay for heat and utilities, but may have hidden trade offs, like paper thin walls, poor landlords, cockroaches, and the like. Some students reside with housholdcrs, some live in upperclassmen dorms, while still others have found more creative alternatives to dorrnic land.” The students may encounter many negative aspects of off campus living, yet the benefits far outweigh the costs. For many it is their first chance at living in their own place. It is a place often remembered with special fondness as some of the best college moments were spent there. Students will remember the great parties, cookouts, and all nighters. as well as those special quiet times. They will also remember the Macaroni and Cheese, RamonNoodles. and Tuna Fish, as well as the many times they wished they had just a litlle more money to buy food with, to drink with, or to use for the laundry that was piled up for weeks because they would always put it off until theyhad just a little more money. Life in the dorms was never quite like this. •86-87 ef. Eric lorkowiki. Tim Inkey. Don sjhmol, Fred Hoktkoc. Tod Li IPefo Zofom$kI. Kort Horpsteod � ubler, Brian WlWoms. Jonn Fa . Troy Tep ounttord.

Pang, was a psychology and sociology major, as well as a foreign student. He came to the United States, from Hong Kong. I had a chance to talk with Pang, shortly before graduation, in that interview. I discovered many things, but most of all. I realized that many foreign students are overlooked at this University. ’Pang chose to come to Stevens Point primarily because he had a sister who went here before he did, and applied for him. In our interview. Pang reflected upon his four years as a student at UWSP. He stated. ” Stevens Point is a quiet, peaceful town. It is small in size, the people here are friendly, they arc not nearly as competitive as the people in Hong Kong. At first 1 experienced a mild culture shock. I was used to Hong Kong , a very large, busy city, where people have very' little time for one another. When I came here 1 had to adjust my ways of thinking, my ways of doing things. 1 even changed my attitudes towards life. 1 wanted people to get to know me. and with my previous attitudes, those acquired in Hong Kong, people had a tendancy to keep their distance. Pang had many experiences along the way. He worked as a UWSP anministration building manager for a year and a half, then he acquired another job as student manager for the food service, which he held for two and a half years. He stated that the jobs were challanging. yet fun. His experiences were goood ones. Pang said. regardless of what people say about the people that work for the Food Service, I think they are a good bunch of people. I made a lot of friends working there. Among his other experiences. Pang remembers the attitudes of those not yet ready to accept him for who he is, rather than for what color he is. or from what country he came. He stated.” a lot of people don’t understand, what it is like being a foreign student,. We don’t expect to be treated differently, however manv i .. specially. Mosi of the pcook-Th' lnk wc should trca,cd attention did so becausejbev ehhl T' ! 'V ' US SPCC‘a' as smart as Amencans. or ihev h °Ugh' tha' W WCrCfc °‘ them. The bottom line U ,S, °U8h' I smart?'han • . ,u„, if___. . naI wc arc all lhc same. Pang if fh � h P r ° nC t accepl him when he shows his real self.then that ts fine w„h him. He said.'if I could change one person to like me then I would have accomplished some-thing. However he docs not feel obligated to change people s perceptions, or to make them aware of the differences between cultures. After graduation. Pang went to Illinois to live with his sister until he found a job. He also hoped to go to graduate in the near future. Pang said that he had a good time here, however he missed his friends and family from Hong Kong. He also said that he missed the variety of the cultural experiences Hong Kong had to offer. He said that someday he hoped to return to Hong Kong, but he doesn’t know yet when that will be. Pang’s last comment was that except for the Wisconsin weather, he is glad that he came here. ” I'm glad that I came here, these four years have been a milestone in my life. Hopefully 1 can use what I’ve learned and experienced to achieve something in my life.” Pang wished that others could have experienced what he has experienced in his life. His reflections of the American people leave him a little distraught. He sees Americans as proud people, sometimes too proud for their own good. He is sad to see it when their pride gets in the way of their experiences. Pang did get his wish, an opportunity to return to Hong Kong, he has now returned there to pursue a job opportunity in his homeiown. Pang was one foreign sludent who would not be overlooked by people at this university. Someday in the near future, wc will hear about him again, most likely with regards to his success. 109 Xi Sigma Pi is the National Natural Resources Honor Society open to all juniors, seniors, and graduate students enrolled in the College of Natural Resources having maintained a cumulative gradepoint average of 3.00.

The team was relatively young, with only three returning letter winners from last year. Those returning for the lady Pointers were; senior Dolores Much, junior Kolleen Onsrud, and sophomore Amy Staniford. The Pointers were willing to work hard and in doing so. they left their mark for the record books. This year's team, was Point’s most successful women's tennis team to date. They had four players named to the WWIAC second all conference team. They were the number one doubles team of Kathy King- Dolores Much, and the number three doubles team of Amy Staniford- Anne Stengcr. The most valuable player for the team was Beth Ncja, who placed third in the conference meet at the number three singles position. Beth also received recognition from the conference coaches as a player of the week. Honors for most improved player, went out to freshman, Jane Sanderfoot. First year coach, Nancy Page, made the transition from coaching the women's field hockey team. That program was dropped last year, due to a lack of available competition, therefore coach Page decided to give tennis a try. She was successful in that she helped the team inmprove on last year’s eighth place conference finish. Coach Page had an interesting observation on traveling with the tennis team as opposed to the field hockey-team; This is kind of nice, it’s almost like traveling with my family. I'm so used to taking twenty-some girls, now I only have to take eight.” She also commented that the future for this team looks bright as they will only lose one player to graduation. 118 Men’s Golf ■i. V. : The Lady Pointer Volleyball team was very young this year, consisting of nine freshman, five sophomores, one junior and one senior. As a result the team did not enjoy the success of last year’s exceptional season. The Lady Pointers ended the season with a 13-8 conference record and a 18-16 record against Division 3 opponents resulting in an overall season record of 27-26. The 1986-1987 Women’s Volleyball team coached by Nancy Schocn and assisted by Mark Thuerman, worked very hard, and made many improvements as the season progressed. The team has many fine players who arc still very young to college sports, so one can look forward to a strong team in the next few years. 121 Women’s Vollyball The University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point women's cross country team finished the 1986 season in fourth place in the conference. The conference meet was held at the Hilcrest Country Club in Eau Claire, on a cold wet November morning. The young team ran well despite the weather, as Jenny Schoch ran to a 16th place finish, the highest finish among the Pointer women. Other top finishers were Amy Cyr and Kris Hclcin, 18th and 19th rcspccitvcly.both with times clocked at 19:25. These runners were given NAIADistrict 14, honorable mention status for their fine performances. Coach Lcn Hill was pleased with the performances of his team, which consisted of eight first year collegiate runners, and four returning runners. Other notcablc performances were shown at the NCAA division III regional cross country championships held on November 15,1986. Best Point finishers were Cyr and Helein.l 1th and 19th respectively. Mother nature did not cooperate well with the cross country teams this year, as the weather during the fall was unusually cold and rainy. However the men's team overcame the bad weather to record a second place conference finish. The conference meet was held on November 1, 1986 at the Hilcrest Country Club in Eau Claire. The temperatures were in the low 30's and the course was wet and muddy in some places, and frozen in others. These were not ideal runningconditions but the Pointers ran well and defeated two teams that had previosly been ranked ahead of them, Oshkosh, and Eau Claire. Point finished behind LaCrossc, and placed two individuals in the top five. Winning the meet and the conference title was Arnic Schracdcr with a time of 24:29. and finishing in third place was Tom Morris with a time of 25:13. The entire season went well for the Pointers as they improved with each meet. Coach Witt felt the men ran well, and ran their best races of the year at conference. Point also ran well at the Stevens Point Invitational where Point beat Stout and Eau Claire to get the season off to a good start. Men’s Cross Country The fans came out to support the Pointer football team, with each pass, block, kick, tackle, and touchdown, the fans called out for more. This year they were not to be disappointed, as the 1986-1987 Pointers captured a tri-conference championship, and a bid for the NCAA playoffs. The last year that a UWSP football team accomplished as much as this squad was back in 1977, when they had their last playoff bid. The season started off slow, with little action, then it became action packed as the Pointers compiled a 7-1 league record, and an 8-4 overall record. They became conference champions along with perenial powerhouse. LaCrossc. and River Falls. The Pointers last game of the season was played against River Falls, which the Pointers won convincingly, 28-8. to not only give them a piece of the championship, but a playoff bid as well. In the playoffs. Point lost to Concordia College, ending their season. This year’s team was comprised of outstanding individuals.including five all-Wisconsin State University selections. Named to the first team was Kim Drake, and to the second team. Ted Blanco. Mike Christman.Dave Stcavpack, and Dan Dantoin. Pointer coach, DJ. LcRoy was also honored as coach of the year. Team awards went out to Mike Christman, who rushed for 534 yards, and caught 49 passes for 753 yards.most outstanding newcomer to Kurt Baumgartner, the freshman quarterback who completed 117 of 248 attempts, for 1,753 yards and 15 touchdown’s, and most improved to Brent Harder. The team looks forward to a successful future. 125 It’s hard to say who was the star of this years men’s swim team: freshman swimmer Nino Pisciotta. or Coach Red Blaire.” Blairc is characterized by team members as being mean and nasty with his firm and effective methods, yet they respect him for his ability to also be a very nice man. On the other hand, the accomplishments of three-fold NA1A Division III champion, Nino Pisciotta can’t be over emphasized. Pisciotta eamed.’’National Swimmer of the Year honors for his three national titles in the 200 and 400 individual medleys, and the 200 backstroke at the Nationals meet held in Milwaukee this year. The team is equally proud of diver Tim Thoma, who not only qualified for Nationals with teammate Mike Kcrig, but also placed tenth, a remarkable accomplishment for a member of the small Stevens Point team. Divers at Point tend to get little recognition, and an additional setback is the tincy pool which requires them to practice at the Sentry World pool. No matter who the star may be. it was the team as a cohesive whole, as Steve Nold describes it. that took third place at the conference level and showed up with shaved heads at the National meet to capture sixth placc.f Skin to win,’’according to Andy Woyte). The team simply had a fantastic season. This is indicated by the following statistics: 8 All-Americans, 3 Academic All- Americans, 8 school records. 2 conference records, 11 All Conference and 14 All District swimmers, 3 National Championships and 33 career best swims. Practices for UWSP men arc a little unconventional. Three days a wcck( and Saturdays) they are put into an all-out timed race situation, affectionately titled, Puke sets, for obvious reasons, by the team. During a rough vacation to Florida, practices includcd salmon runs during which continuous whistle blows signalled the swimmers into the pool amid flailing arms and legs. So why do they endure this five months of hell?” Steve Nold admits this question is oft repeated but says with complete honesty, ” It’s all worth it at the end.” The Sky is the Limit” was the team slogan for the UWSP women’s basketball team in ’87 and they certainly lived up to that goal. They have come a long way since their institution in 1972. They ended their regular season with a 15-1 record and a conference title. But that was only the beginning for the Lady Pointers. The team went on to win the Great Lakes Regional title and the Quarterfinals which put them in the Final Four and just two games from a National championship. In the first game of the Final Four tournament held in Scranton Pcnnslyvania. the eighth ranked Pointers ardently accepted the chal- Icngc to face the number 1 seeded Lady Royals of Scranton, winning in a 74-59 upset. Having gotten to the final two the team was determined to return home with nothing less than a National Championship under its belt, and that they did. The UWSP Lady Pointers ended their best season ever by capturing the Women's NCAA Division 3 title in the championship game against sixth rated Concordia College of Minnesota. 81-74. This honor marks the first National Championship for any team in the history of UWSP athletics.

The team, coached by Nancy Page, started the year with a brand new roster, with the majority of the team new to collegiate softball. The Pointers proved that new blood can get things moving as they went on to finish the season at 8 wins and 20 losses, including a respectable 4-4 record in the WWIAC.

The outlook for next season looks favorable for the Pointers, as they have started the ball rolling with a successful season. They will not suffer any major losses due to graduation, so next year should be good. 37 LJ Men’s Tennis The UWSP men’s tennis team, had many of its players return from last year, and as a result had another successful season this spring, as they finished fourth in the WSUC conference.
